Your point may be valid, but the NYT is a poor example of paywalls as an alternative to intrusive ads.

I'm a paying subscriber to the NYT. When I open their homepage now, the page is split horizontally with an ad taking up about 40%-50% of the entire screen. The "The New York Times" header is about halfway down the page, and the first actual content probably starts at 85% or even below that.

Anecdotally, the NYT runs even more intrusive ads than this to paid subscribers. Off the top of my head, I would say their modal popup video ad is the worst.

There’s also the tensor tympani muscle. I would assume that children tense it when shouting at full volume, which will somewhat reduce the effect.
Very nice. It would also be cool to be able to input what datetime you want it to display sunlight for.
Though of course in traditional theory the company should be run for the shareholders rather than the executives. It's a bit of a flaw in the system if they can extract large bonuses while tanking the stock. Maybe the government could write some laws that bonuses have to be held in escrow for a while to check the company survives.

(And in more modern views maybe you should worry about the other stakeholders too.)
>What would make the approach viable is if there were a nice way to automate and crowd source most/all of the effort.

But to me, crowdsourcing is also what Jerry & David did. The users submitted links to Yahoo. AltaVista also had a form for users to submit new links.

Also, Wikipedia's list of links are also crowdsourced in the sense that many outside websurfers (not just staff editors) make suggested edits to the wiki pages. Looking at a "revision history" of a particular wiki page makes the crowdsourced edits more visible: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_web_direc...

The algorithm definitely has issues with faces.

One part I didn't get into is artificial weights. The original paper discusses "painting" certain regions of the image as high energy, driving seams away from those regions. This ties into faces when the paper suggests face detection to automatically paint faces with high energy, avoiding these issues in the first place!

"Companies exist to maximize shareholder value" is the myth that just won't die.
> The way the stock market is designed (and the fact that stockholders often get to appoint the board who gets to appoint the CEO) means they're going to put short term profits over long term viability.

Yes, they absolutely are. If they didn't like it, they would fight to have it changed. They've fought to have many other things changed, and various Constitutional Amendments have been passed as a result. Did you forget the 18th Amendment, which was passed because of a bunch of Temperance activists? (and then the 21st that was passed because the result was a disaster) The system is set up this way because the voters don't want to change it.
Why not both? At least, it's safer to assume both when choosing a platform and where to spend dollars. Security is important yet, in my experience, even more underfunded than reliability -- features are generally king. A platform that repeatedly gets breached shows they don't value security as much as they should. An attacker that has been successful previously should continue to be successful except against those targets that secure themselves.

I’m mostly familiar with POTS in patients with other chronic symptoms such as fatigue. I’ve been on high dose IVIG and it’s been helping my POTS a lot.

Take a look at a video on YouTube by a Harvard doctor Anna Louise Oaklander called Small Fibers Big Problem about the association they are making with something they label aaSFPN. Also take a look at some results for adrenergic and muscinaric auto antibodies, which are showing up in patients with POTS and other dysautonomias.
What hardline though? One can't on the one hand sell manufacturing, technology, companies and even infrastructure to China and on the other claim to be uncompromising. I wouldn't mind an actual uncompromising stance on for example labour conditions and investments. But that certainly isn't the case now. Ericsson probably employs less people in Sweden than Chinese companies do at this point.

Why go thru all that trouble when you can just phish with malware?

I’m reminded of back when Kevin Mitnick said it wasn’t that he was a great hacker, but that he was good as social engineering. What made him good was that he took the easiest way in, which is kind of what my point is. I don’t care if you block the hardest hack - I care about blocking the easiest.

(FWIW, I am a huge fan of 2FA, I just don’t understand how it stops phishing.)

Iceland should make up its mind. Flights to Iceland (from pretty much anywhere) are extremely cheap, presumably due to some sort of Icelandic tourism-board subsidy.

Yes. They are everywhere. I cannot look at a building, a road, or go to the subway without seeing a hundred advertisements. My brain will try to read automatically any text in my field of vision. It is exhausting. My job is complex enough to overload my brain with things I do not need or care about.

It's a war on human attention. And we need de-escalation.

BFT protocols are typically secure if 2/3 of the nodes are honest.

>Are the resources guarding those seven nodes equally proportioned? How hard is it for a bad actor to potentially subvert one and cause it to pass bad-but-trusted data? Can these nodes be switched with other, potentially less-secure or hostile nodes? How are additional nodes added to the network; is there a credentialing process that could potentially be attacked?

These are good questions. I believe in Libra human beings decide which organizations are allowed to run a node and they build a fixed list of say 100 or so nodes one from each organization.

>Who maintains each node, what is their level of sophistication, resourcing, and control?

You don't want amateurs running nodes. This is normally where such proposals fail because if you don't have enough clout early on you won't get good node operators and this poisons the security argument. From my perspective Libra is the first team which has overcome this hurdle.

Then again hopefully everyone doesn't just run these nodes on AWS.

This is amazing! I played (very very briefly - like literally a 5 mins hands on) with a braille display sometime in the mid 90's.
My dad was an early blind computer + speech user. like Apple II with ECHO-II speech synth kind or early and one summer had a visitor to the house with an earlier incarnation of the braille display. The guy had a whole load of adaptive tech with him but the braille display was the most interesing at the time. My dad never got into using anything like that, in fact never really got into portable tech as it was all still very big and bulky up to the point he passed away in 2003. I think he'd have loved getting involved in the Raspberry pi ecosystem and had he still been alive may have nudged me to making more use of them in assistive use cases.
Thanks for the link!
Is he high enough function to manage his own over the ear hearing protection or does that raise issues of never getting them off of him?

I'd avoid in-ear until you know whether he'd just be leaving them always in which could cause its own problems.
I doubt it in this case. It sounds like they had a browser zero-day, and could potentially steal cryptocurrencies from people they were targeting. You don't particularly care how gullible someone is; if you get your zero-day to successfully work on them and steal all their Bitcoin, there's nothing they can do about it.

I think the default assumption is the correct one here; the attacker(s) are a solo or small group of anonymous non-native English speakers, and the risk of getting another person in on it who is a native English speaker wasn't worth it. The smaller your criminal conspiracy, the better.
It's stunning to me that anyone would use a euphemism like "behavioral interventions" to describe deceit and attempted manipulation – dark patterns. Marketers show no concern for ethical behavior and yet they complain when people reject their "nudge" as an assault by blocking ads.
Maybe they should just forbid or discourage tourists from countries that cause the most problems, such as Britain and the US. I'm sure Japanese tourists never litter there.

If you think there is a 'bloodbath on the streets' of London you just demonstrate that you have no clue what London is like.

And even if you had been right, the office of the mayor only has oversight powers and limited powers to set priorities and shift some resources. Most of the Met budget and control of their day to day operations is outside the mayors purview.

EDIT: Here's a wikipedia page with info on the media frenzy around the violence in London last year, and the comparisons to New York in particular, which basically jumped to lots of conclusions from a single month:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_London

And here is stats for April, that shows a higher rate of violent crime in Sussex (233 incidents per 100,000 people) than in London (227 per 100,000 people): https://ukcrimestats.com/Police_Forces/ - however this too means pretty much nothing; the numbers fluctuate too much to start drawing many conclusions based on the headline numbers.

But I guess by your argument there's a "bloobath" going on in Sussex then.

Hey, creator of Docli (https://docli.dev) here.

3 months ago I've posted on Hacker News about Docli, a new library to help you build CLI Apps in Go.

After the feedback I received about the lack of support for nested commands (aka subcommands), I decided to dedicate my free time to add this feature, you can read more about it at https://github.com/celicoo/docli/issues/10

Three months have passed, and I'm proud to announce that this feature has been merged!

If you feel up to it, please follow the tutorial (https://docli.dev/docs/tutorial), it will help you understand the Docli concepts.

What about web applications? I am the office champion of accessible web, but recently we made a web based game, in canvas. Without js, there's no game engine, so we had a noscript tag.

That synths article uses built in JavaScript synths (using audio apis). I agree the text should display without JavaScript but the purpose of the article (get hands on with synths) is eliminated without JS.

Basically, the web not only is a document delivery place, it's also the new Newgrounds. None of those games would work if you disabled flash, why should web applications (beyond ones that are simple documents) work without JavaScript?
Essentially yes. But I think the problem comes from the fact that it is at the same time a compilation target, and a pretty okay document markup format.

I think people living at the edges of web apps and web pages are pretty happy, but the contention is when one is in between.

I think heavy reliance on human language (and its ambiguity) is one of the main problems.

Maybe personal whitelist/blacklist for domains and authors could improve things. Sort of "Web of trust" but done properly.

Not completely without search engines, but for example, if every website was responsible for maintaining it's own index, we could effectively run our own search engines after initialising "base" trusted website lists. Let's say I'm new to this "new internet", I ask around what are some good websites for information I'm interested in. My friend tells me wikipedia is good for general information, webmd for health queries, stackoverflow for programming questions, and so on. I add wikipedia.org/searchindex, webdm.com/searchindex and stackoverflow.com/searchindex to my personal search engine instance, and every time I search something, these three are queried. This could be improved with local cache, synonyms, etc. As you carry on using it, you expand your "library". Of course it would increase workload of individual resources, but has potential to give feel of that web 1.0 once again.

Are you sure it is the same store? 20 years ago (and probably only applies to my state) you could only order 3x (I don't recall exact numbers or details) your current inventory once you announce the going out of business sale, and you had to be in business for a year an a half. People would open a furniture store, give good deals for 18 months - just to eat. Then they will sell out for a lot of money to a going out of business company who would cram the store with inventory, raise prices and then do the sale. When the doors closed (because they were out of inventory) the old owner would start a new store in the same location under a slightly difference name and repeat the cycle.

Thank you for sharing that link. Truly.
It doesn't always appear that way -- it's really a glass half full/half empty thing. If I may be so bold, you are see what you want to see. Generally speaking, public companies do not prioritize the next quarter above all else. Why not? Because they are, generally speaking, not run by idiots. Of course, some do in certain situations. Because it makes sense in those situations.

Owners (shareholders) and boards are not full of idiots either. They realize the temptation of short term pumps. Thus, executive compensation is typically shaped to encourage longer-term thinking (e.g. stock that does not fully vest for years, bonuses based on future company performance years out, etc). And if they do reward short-term metrics, it's for a specific reason.

That said, japanese companies tend to have longer time horizons than american companies (decades vs years) and perhaps that's better. But then again, the further out you go, the less your planning will work out. So who knows for sure?
