It's hard for me to see PEMEX as a noble venture when price controls on gas largely act as a subsidy for the richest in Mexican society. I would blame less on "right wing deregulation" and more on a system that is rotten to the core and failing at such a basic service like providing fuel.
Sure, if your 2D or 1D world is started from a pattern designed by an intelligent being, then they could make a starting pattern that simulated a 3D world. But the more interesting question is whether life could arise in a 2D or 1D world that has simple physics and a simple starting pattern.

It seems that the specific script comes from https://integralads.com/ as stated by another commentator. I think the blame is to be shared here.

integralads is guilty of developing and selling this technology.
Microsoft is guilty of buying it and using it
Google is guilty of serving it.
And why not also StackOverflow is guilty of offering that space to advertisers without enough vetoing of their ads.

After reading about integralads I'm not even sure if the purpose is to fingerprint, it seems to be more targeted towards detecting fraud, which does not require fingerprinting necessarily.

My point is that it's not as easy as pointing to one company and blaming them. This is a problem that concerns anyone on the Ad space.
Seems like classic fingerprinting behavior from Google Ads. It's unfortunate and hope they fix it quick but most importantly figure out a way to prevent it in the future
> Companies are not free to choose with whom they do business.

For the most part, yes they are.
For instance, every online business has a Terms of Service detailing many situations in which they will or will not do business with you.
Race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, etc. are specific situations in which governments/society have decided that its worth restricting this freedom for the greater good.
The existence of these relatively few exceptions does not negate their overall freedom to do business with whomever they please.
They switched because Freescale and IBM couldn’t keep up with Intel. Apple did not make CPUs at that time.

I am not a big fan of "magic" happening behind the scenes.

I understand that the current error handling is a bit too verbose but at least it makes the code readable.

I am not sure if this is really the best way to fix this issue TBH.
What makes you think it would be for web scraper detection vs user fingerprinting?
I don’t think it’s ever going to be so simple that we can bucket all non-tech users together. I occasionally volunteer as IT support for a small non-profit where everyone is non-technical and in many cases old. Their understanding of browsers were:

- Chrome is the fast one.

- IE is the one that have to use for some government/old websites.

- Ad Blockers are for safety (akin to anti-virus).

This was from a group that didn’t even know how to install Chrome on the new computers they got this year.

Group knowledge on this topic is largely going to be driven by what they’ve heard in the news or perpetuated by their social circles. And scary things will stick for long after they stop being true.
I think a lot has changed. Maybe not the ability to consistently lead Intel, but at least a larger portion of end users that would find an ARM laptop "good enough" exists now.

It's true that there's a correlation / causation problem here, but consider the problem from Google's POV: they rank a certain set of results by hand, then feed those into various learning algorithms to find good predictors for quality.

If an analysis such as this finds such correlations, it's likely that Google's algorithms have also picked up on them. In other words: maybe people diligent about meta tags and H1s also write better content and should therefore rank higher (correlation). But "good writing" is hard to judge algorithmically, and Google may therefore well be turning some correlations into causations.

It's pretty obvious that the only real fix is to accept money in exchange for putting an image with a hyperlink on your website.

Anything involving javascript will do shenanigans for various reasons. Fingerprinting via any means possible is industry standard ad-network behavior at this point. No one in the industry could imagine doing any less - it's impractical, it's absurd. But targeting! But fraud! But the only fix is to just give it all up, go back to how it was done in the 90s.
Because they had a lot of trouble with sham sites generated by their content.
Which is kinda my point. The amount of HD traffic and wasted bandwidth is just insane. At what point would YT just acknowledge the same viewer is watching (or listening) the same video over and over and over again before offering a download button? (sure tech ppl can use 3rd-party tool, but all are blocked on Google Play, and most others limited to short vids only)
One thing the article goes into is all the signs that the mail was fake. I think focusing on how one can spot such attacks is slightly silly for two reasons:

1. If these errors caused attacks to be unsuccessful then I expect (competent) attackers would stop making these mistakes

2. Plenty of real people make spelling errors or write single sentence paragraphs or even plagiarise things (or have their own descriptions plagiarised). Real people also host group things on personal sites. I think relying on this sort of thing is too likely to lead to false positives (and its a lot easier to spot the “signs” once one knows the email bad) and too unreliable in the long term for reason 1.

One thing I wonder is how this sort of thing might be prevented. It seems that once one’s pc is compromised there isn’t much one can do; newer security mechanisms like security keys don’t help much if the device is compromised. I don’t know how hardware bitcoin wallets (or similar devices) work so I can’t say whether they might have protected the targets of this attack, although I would guess they would not.

Sometimes I wonder if this is something there should be insurance for, but would anyone buy it? I think it would have to start as insurance for companies (which would require large numbers of companies to consider a breach like this a major financial risk) before people but such attacks would have to be unlikely enough to be successful for the insurance to be cheap. I suggest insurance with the vague hope that an insurer would want their customers to be more secure to decrease the chance they have to pay out. I don’t know if it would work that way in practice.

This is the actual problem at the heart of it all. And even if it were more profitable to take subscription fees than to serve ads, what's stopping you from "double dipping" and serving ads anyway?
Trump supporters are fascists though and Trump is a fascist. Read any European account of the rise of fascism and the parallels are obvious. Eco's is preference, but there are tens of well written analyses.

> Most trump supporters hate fascism.

Most trump supporters have no idea what it is.

> go try and understand what motivates people to disrupt the status quo.

I have. It's a lack of improvement to their material reality from either party. That's understandable and fine. Deciding that you should support fascism because of it is not fine.
"these users are parasites, who basically deface the website in an attempt to control it."

That's a great and concise way to describe what those people have done, or are trying to do. I've seen it on several old forums or games, like the Something Awful Goons invading Eve Online with the stated aim of ruining the game for everyone else.

It's this weird immature streak of "everyone pay attention to me" that these hateful vandals thrive upon. They have to be the only ones making noise, and everyone must listen to that noise. If things don't happen exactly like they want, they throw fits, threaten, and whine as a group so much that people give in just to shut them up. And since it's just attention that is being sought, any actions are valid, good or bad. Appeals to admins/moderators, spamming, arguing in bad faith, harassing others, defacing the site or simply breaking as much as they can. How that attention seeking validates these people, I have no idea.
Bose is coming out with their next gen NR headphones next week. Might want to wait and see the full reviews. Its headline feature is reducing ambient noise from leaking into calls you make (like if you're making a call from a coffee shop). That may not be relevant to you at all, but it should also have slightly better NR and sound quality. You can also occasionally get deals on the Bose QuietComfort 25 model (under $150) which is the same as the QC35 except wired.

> It just takes longer in this field. Takes longer, but not necessarily more difficult (technically).

This immediately made me think "yeah they still use faxes", yet I don't think anyone doubts faxes are on the way out. Still "it just takes longer" understates the just how slow it is. It looks to me like a critical mass of older fax using doctors will have die off before the change can happen.

It does make you wonder how they get away with this. In most industries competition and cost pressures will force the change. Not so in medicine, apparently.
You can try out https://panopticlick.eff.org/, which estimates the entropy of information they can extract from your browser.

Not necessarily. The Soviet government was engaged in significant censorship and was not fascist. Same with the CCP currently.

Since the article's main point is that you should use semantics as much as possible, it's probably better that you used the "wrong" tag when choosing between <section> or <article>, than using the wrong tag and choosing <div>s for lack of not even having asked the question "what should this be?".

While rewriting what's already out there may be a business decision, choosing between what HTML tag to use when changing/writing new ones, is completely business agnostic.
The fact that the activity has been happening for years doesn't invalidate that it could be bot related.

In a small town in Denmark, a hotel i was booked into was full, so they tried to send me to the other hotel in town, but that was full, so i slept on a sofa in a meeting room. The meeting room's floor was scattered with pieces of Lego, which made night-time trips to the bathroom somewhat terrifying. Not the most auspicious start to a business trip.
I feel that it may go the other way: that receiving communication from a source that is supported by ad revenue while knowingly and actively bypassing those same ads will be seen as theft. I fully expect lobbyists to push for this and see some success in the next 10 years.
Ok cool to hear your story, thanks for sharing it.

If you want, I can tell you some of the apps I use. I use Slack, Telegram, Visual Studio Code, Discord, Tidal (as a PWA) and a bunch of other web apps.

Some apps I really do require to be fancy, like fastmail. Using it with normal forms and no ajax would suck imo.

I am myself also building an app where we heavily rely on a map and rendering stuff upon it. It is very interactive, and it would not be possible (at least to the extent that we want to deliver it) to make it without javascript.

I also think most of the "desktop" apps I heavily use wouldn't really exist for linux if electron didn't exist which is kind of sad.

But now they do and they work wonders, so good I use them every day. You can barely tell that Discord or Visual Studio Code is web apps nowadays since they work so damn good, better than most hacky open source alternatives that exist for linux.

I think it's cool that you and some other people can have a functional user experience without javascript but for me it's simply not possible if I want to enjoy all the benefits that running with javascript enables me.

I actually rather use web apps, progressive web apps etc than install a native app that can ruin my entire computer. They are equally fast nowadays, web apps often get updates a lot faster and it isn't a risk to update the app. Just refresh the app and everything is safe and sound, especially with PWAs.

Just check this screenshot, it even looks native (and hardware keys work fine):

They also have the most silicon to work with. If you are designing a chip with x resources vs y resources its kind of unfair to say one design is better than the other. One design is optimized for one thing vs another. Arm needs to sell to wide set of customers who might be more more price sensitive than apple. If I could create a chip with more decoders, alu units, cache, etc. I can design a faster chip, but it wouldn't necessarily mean I am a better designer than an engineer who works at company x.

> Gtk2 already had oversized controls compared to Windows

GTK+2 can actually be run with a Windows 9x/2000 widget theme ("redmond9x" IIRC). It's a tiny bit more compact, but just doesn't save a real amount of space compared to the default look. Unfortunately GTK+3 has moved to CSS which was probably necessary for things like proper support on high-DPI screens, but has broken the existing theming support altogether.

I do agree that the current lack of a "compact" mode for touch-free, mouse/keyboard-only use is a bit of an annoyance. But, like you, I don't necessarily view Qt as being all that better. And the default Adwaita theme in GTK+3 is tolerable enough.
Sony WH-1000XM3: I've used several ANC headphones before. None of those come close to this. Sound quality is extremely good too. Good battery life. A 15 minutes charge gives me 5 hours of playback.

On the negatives: A bit heavier than Bose headphones but not by much. The "touch control" is sometimes annoying to use.
Best bet with Costco is to get the rotisserie chicken, pull the meat off yourself, vacuum seal and freeze at home. Usually the lowest price you'll find for chicken.
