3) Right - and I guess "fingerprinting" goes slightly beyond cookies - but when people say "execute arbitrary code" they typically imply something has free-reign, which JavaScript generally doesn't.

4) True, although it's my understanding that the exploits are hard to implement, doubly-so from an abstracted layer like JavaScript.

This falls under "cookies-based", and I'm pretty sure no JavaScript is necessary for these kinds of attacks.

Using pedantically concise, accurate, objectively correct language certainly isn't very popular nowadays, but I argue that it is very important. Otherwise, if neither side has a proper understanding of what the other is saying, how shall we have productive discussions and come to mutually acceptable compromises in an increasingly complex society?

I think the original comment meant intrinsic in that, because advertising has the greatest value when it advertises a better product than other categorically similar products, advertisers converge toward advertising a better product than they actually sell. If your product has the same qualities as a number of other products, the only way to increase value is to make your product seem better than it is. Also, this is not a new thing by any stretch; humans have been doing this since Ogg sold his "Magic Fire-God Kit" (1 piece wood, 1 piece flint, 1 piece rock) as making better fire than Uhg's "Fire Kit", consisting of the exact same stuff. Seems intrinsic to human nature. I think this is why innovators are more important than advertisers.

NPM foils plot that was only possible due to ridiculous house of cards built by NPM.

I notice that the NPM blog post also fails to mention that it was actually successful and resulted in about 1 million KMD (current value ~$1.7M) being stolen. The Komodo blog post contains that information: https://komodoplatform.com/update-agama-vulnerability/

Even worse, they had also successfully stolen about 9 times more than that. The only reason it was prevented was because the seeds were being sent to a public server, and Komodo was able to access and use them to "steal" the 8 million coins (and 96 BTC) from those wallets before the attacker did.

This was a successful $10M+ theft that NPM is somehow trying to spin into a positive.

The recent interest in Ketamine/MDMA/psychedelics is long overdue. But I can't help feeling the optimism is somewhat too high?

I would encourage everyone to try LSD at some point in their lives. There are just vast parts of culture and humanity that you will suddenly understand. Most striking for me was seeing everyday scenes on the streets–people in cafés, parks, etc.–exactly as they are depicted in impressionist paintings. Or, of course, The Dark Side of the Moon.

But I'm sceptical regarding therapeutic use. Somewhere between 2% and 5% of people have recreationally tried most any given category of drugs. It was explored rather thoroughly in the therapist community in the 60s and 70s. If, indeed, they had the potential to essentially cure any of the diseases we have so far failed abysmally (depression, schizophrenia), no moralising majority would have had the power to suppress them.

What's promising are some less-frequent diseases such as PTSD. PTSD is somewhat unique because it involves memory, a system which we seem to have a much better chance at influencing compared to the evolutionary ancient limbic system of emotions.

Another fun aspect is the use of MDMA in talk therapy. For psychiatrist, it's an absolutely mind-blowing experience. They have often devoted their life to learning to get people to open up to them. And here you give them a pill and the effect is, reliably, like that scene of Robin Williams hitting Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting.
The bloatware is universal across all non-Apple computers. You can download a Windows 10 ISO for free from Microsoft's website (apparently they've started blocking it if your User Agent indicates that you're already on Windows, but that's trivial to bypass). Download ISO, burn to USB, reinstall Windows and you get rid of all the bloat. The license key is embedded in the hardware these days.

That said, MS gives ridiculous freedom to drivers. It auto-installs drivers for my 9560's audio and Thunderbolt controllers. The audio drivers include a 'Waves MaxxAudio Pro' application that stays in the system tray; stopping it makes the audio stop working. The Intel TB drivers also have a permanent unremovable notification in the system tray.

What's worse is that when you plug in a Logitech Webcam, Windows automatically downloads drivers (which are not necessary if you're on Linux since webcams use the same standard protocol), and then the Logitech drivers pop up a giant popup window asking to install their bloatware application (which is not required for the camera to work). What else does Windows let hardware manufacturers autoinstall onto your computer? Keyloggers? Rootkits?

I work 25 hours a week remotely as freelancer (although I'm available in slack more or less all the time) and earn nearly twice as much as during my PhD. Only that in more than 3 years I never really got into demotivated/frustrated phases. During my PhD I often felt depressed when sitting in the office all day, never getting a bit of daylight... And paying 300€ a month to have someone walk my dog.

I have lots of time for learning new stuff and also teach a course twice a year at a local college for some extra cash.

“Google and YouTube don’t want to take any action against any far-right channel for fear of stoking the far right to say they’re being persecuted,”

What bizarro world is this pretending to be? A few lines before that in the same "article" they provide contradiction:

"After further outcry and investigation, YouTube later opted to demonetize Crowder’s channel, citing “widespread harm to the YouTube community resulting from the ongoing pattern of egregious behavior.”

Amazing to believe in the face all that is apparent that there are people that think there is anything in the Bay area with a "right-wing bias" that hasn't been stamped out yet.
I don’t think this will reduce use of sterotyoes. They can actually hone in people who have past priors and abuse their power, even if the ones with past priors have done nothing wrong in the encounter with cops. Because no one will believe those with past priors.

I have seen many cops abuse their power, have short tempers and break laws.
While I agree that semantic HTML is a nice thing, I am also confused because the HTML I saw in 1999 didn't look like what the author suggests. If I am not completely mistaken, nav is an HTML5 element that didn't even exist back then.

Instead, we used tables inside tables insides tables inside iframes to structure our navigations. CSS was still some mystic magic that only a few wizards knew how to use effectively. And in many cases, the result was actually less semantic than what we see nowadays.

So the arguments seem a bit odd, although I support the spirit of the message.

Americans should consider shorter junction cycles instead. My experience in the US is that traffic light cycles are long, leading to impatience, and long queues building up at lights when they turn red, which may even spill into a junction further down, leading to further congestion.

That's in comparison to Europe, where the traffic light cycles are short, meaning less cars get through on each cycle of green, but at least everyone feels they don't have to wait quite as much. Red-light cameras are also rare in Europe, I have only encountered them in Germany, but they could be elsewhere.
Was this a US specific survey? 10h of work, 1+h of break, and at least 1h of commute means you leave home at 8 in the morning and come back after 8 in the evening. I doubt this would be very popular in Europe with anybody in a non-managerial position or at least very high on the pay grade. But it sort of makes sense because it improves the ratio of productive time (work) to unproductive time (the commute), and results in getting a full extra free day.

On the other hand it's possible that a 10h work day becomes less productive than an 8h one if applied long term. Of course it depends on the actual job but it wouldn't leave much time for anything personal. For a lot of jobs 10h shifts sounds like looking for trouble.

Sounds about right. A non-technical manager managing technical people is like the commander of a tank battalion not knowing how fast his tanks can go or what kind of ammunition they shoot, their fuel range, hell he probably doesn't even know how many people can fit in a single tank. But he thinks he's fit to manage such a unit because he's an expert in "general warfare", and he has all the "metrics".

I've seen it in my own employment multiple times, my team's(admittedly good-hearted) managers come in and say "We'd like to do (list of 10 things). Now we know the software has limitations, and we don't have any money for feature enhancement, so feel free to tell us no on any of these."

Us: "We can do 2 of those, maybe three if you can give us a couple of days to hack in one of the simpler requests"

My feeling is that 3) is the main result of advertising. The main point seems to be to drive a demand for something, not to inform people about market differentiation.

Looking at the first ad break I see on a recording I happened to make of TV, I see:

* 30%–60% off various products at a popular homeware store

* a window cleaning product

* KFC ad

* "massive half yearly sale" at a popular home appliances store

* an outdoor shelter installation service, claiming they can add curtains

* "half-yearly clearance" sale at a furniture store

* Powerade ad

I would rather not desire KFC or Powerade, and all the other products are things that I would be able to look up trivially when I have a need for them. I don't see how advertising here helps with anything other than getting rid of oversupplied stock. If people need to advertise to get people to buy their stuff, maybe we should simply be producing less stuff. We were certainly producing less stuff 100 years ago. If we produced less stuff today, we could be working less. How about we make that deal, instead of the "buy more stuff that we probably don't need" deal?
I'm not familiar with the PG essay you mention, but there's one by Joel Spolsky that says something similar to what you describe, that great developers rarely apply for jobs[0], that I've found to generally be true.

Odd that in an article about age based discrimination, they don't mention that there is also age based discrimination against young people, for example, getting into C level positions in the non-tech world.

When I used to be employed by other people, I specifically remember being told "we can't really promote you to director, you are too young". I wasn't inexperienced (I started working full time at 16). It wasn't that I hadn't earned it. It was because the old farts on the board wouldn't take me seriously.

Discrimination sucks.

There are plenty of real world examples. An Arduino is merely a beginner friendly packaging for an AVR chip. In fact, you can pull out the AVR chip on some Arduino boards, and then you're free to program it yourself, provided you set up your own bootloader.

You'll find AVR chips controlling many, many devices in the wild. My Lulzbot 3d printer uses an ATMega for instance.
My city implemented these in a responsible way. They did not change yellow light duration and the police department selected the placement.

The result has been most ok, they missed their financial targets and there is a moderate reduction in certain types of accidents, although it’s hard for me to tell if that was due to the camera or the “no turn on red” at those intersections.

But the other benefit that few people realize is that these cameras are always on (including the LPR), and retain video for 30 days. It’s pretty difficult to leave the city without being recorded. It makes it easier for police to get camera footage admitted in court as the traffic cameras are a reliable index to correct time.

It’s not as integrated and creepy as something like the NYPD DAS system, but also doesn’t get discussed when these systems get set up.
Dubious — cellular senescence (whether proliferation- or oncogene-induced) is the usual failsafe for avoiding proliferation of damaged cells. It relies heavily upon TP53, RB1, and CDKN2A, all of which are routinely deleted in tumors. When anti-aging researchers refer to senolytic drugs, usually they’re referring to drugs that clear senescent cells.

Oddly, the drugs tend to clear out tumor cells in many cases, as senescence bypass is a critical step in carcinogenesis.

Not oddly, the inflammatory paracrine (secreted) profile of senescent cells tends to engage the immune system in clearing them out. Immunosenescence gets in the way of this and also of clearing precancerous cells, hence it is a risk factor for both age-related frailty and cancer.
Sounds similar to P2PE.
About weed, did you smoke in a legal or illegal setting? Last thing you need when exploring your mind for the first times is fear of cops storming the room.

The other source of anxiety is that cannabis raises your pulse for a few moments, I would guess because of increased blood flow (which is sometimes visible in the eyes). From my experience that never goes away entirely, but you learn to not freak out since it's not dangerous.

Organic drugs like shrooms are definitely less dramatic than synthetic such as LSD from my experience.

Might depend on the location. I've seen more red light runners in the half decade I've lived in Austin than the remainder of my life.

A lot of junctions in the US have 'intelligent lights' (I don't know the exact term), where there are plates on some lanes, so it only turns on for a lane if there are cars in it. That is mostly noticeable for left-turning lanes.

But in Europe, most traffic lights are programmed to act differently based on the time of day, hence allowing a smoother traffic in rush hour. Or in some European cities, the lights will switch to flashing yellow at night.

I don't think traffic lights need to be that smart, just scheduled. I have definitely not heard that European traffic should be significantly worse than US traffic.
I suffer from severe depression. The surprise with LSD was actually that it made me happy. I had expected (and got) weird colors etc, but I thought its emotional impact was somewhere from neutral to negative.

In about 8 trips over as many years, I haven't had a bad experience, except one that just went on too long and became exhausting.

Yet I have had friends that are far more psychologically stable react negatively to it.

I've never seen anyone react badly to MDMA, and I think it may actually be more useful for emotional work. LSD makes me generically happy, but I'm more likely to develop a fascination with areal mapping than gaining any introspective.

Marijuana is pure hell. Sleepless nights of mild nausea, intense headaches, and terror nightmares. And mixing it with alcohol drops my blood pressure to syncope/sweating/panic levels.
>> Our study presents a surprising result: the best way to detect neural fake news is to use a model that is also a generator.

This could indicate the model is actually representing a grammar.

In abstract terms a grammar is at the same time a recogniser and a generator. The fact that in practice, encoded grammars are only used in one or the other mode, is only an artifact of the implementation. And as I've said here before, there is at least the example of Definite Clause Grammars in Prolog, that are both generators and recognisers out of the box [1].

Anyway, a grammar capable of generating fake news text would also be capable of recognising fake news text.

Thank you for being pedantic in place of the OP :)

I've acknowledged that there is a distinction between "happier" and "miserable" by claiming that in the terms of this discussion, it's "pedantic". I.e. the posters who first used "miserable" did not mean miserable in the real sense of the word: I understood it as use of extremes to draw a point. Just like you did not compare $100k and $101k which would mostly be irrelevant in regards to happiness (but if every employee got 1% raise, that might be close to 1% of your operating costs), but you used an example with an order of magnitude difference.

I'd argue that the baseline is complacent workforce, so the argument could have been: do you really want your employees to be complacent?
