Insisting a private business promote any and all content from anyone whatsoever, no matter how abhorrent or anti-social, in a specific way, seems like a bigger step in the wrong direction.
Content is removed from Reddit every day for violating various subreddit policies; the only thing changing here is the way /r/The_Donald is presented with the rest of the site.

I've seen video thumbnails with that a red bar baked-in to look like I'm halfway done watching them.

Brilliant hack. My eye naturally glances at those videos because it usually means I was simply distracted and probably want to resume it.
>you can choose to stop participating in the toxicity for starters

In my case, it's not that easy. Simply posting factual news updates is often enough to trigger wild responses. For example, a few months ago I attended a city council meeting and wrote a Facebook post during the meeting saying "City has approved a new 70 unit condo project" with a picture of the plans. It was one of the most toxic comment sections I've ever seen simply because some people disagreed with the action being taken. Not my actions, but the actions I was reporting on. The answer certainly is not to stop reporting the news.

On a side note, your comment comes dangerously close to sounding like a personal attack. Perhaps I'm reading it wrong but it seems like you're saying if you have problems on Facebook (which I and the person you're responding to have said we do), we must be pathetic and posting like edgy children seeking the toxicity we find. If that's not your intention, maybe you could clarify?
None of what you said is true. I'm puzzled by the constant lies and FUD spread here against Brave. What exactly is the agenda?

I work in robotics automation. The industry is poised for massive improvements in orchestration efficiency. Robotics currently does not take advantage of several known and trusted technologies. That alone will be huge. If we count the automation of driving jobs and efficiency improvements due to machine learning, I’d say the number is low.

I find that writing things down "takes it out of my head", which I think is exactly what you're saying.

There's a mental pressure that results from having a number of things on the go at once, and writing each thing down relieves that pressure, probably in a similar way to the aforementioned ticking off of simple tasks.

Firefox has an LTS release, but chromium doesn't. So distros just ship the update every month whenever chromium is tagged. In practice, it follows chrome's release cycle very closely. Since brave is based on chromium, I don't see why this model can't work for brave given that distos are able to build and ship chromium already. (Android is a more complicated story )
Upgrades to the 737 do have a particularly constrained design space, though (due to the oft-mentioned very low ground clearance).

Paper outlines the rapidly growing ties between the NSA and CIA and the Kingdom's surveillance apparatus after a 2012 Director of National Intelligence policy expanding US Signals Intelligence cooperation with third parties. According to the Paper, the US provides technical and material support to Saudi agencies such as the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior in exchange for intelligence concerning individuals or entities of interest in the region. Challenges to the partnership include frequent Saudi requests for sensitive technology and expertise that US authorities are reluctant to share, although the mutually beneficial partnership is deemed to be promising in the future."

When i was in school we spent a whole day learning how to write press releases and talk to the media. The idea was, don't write anything other than facts, don't say anything not on the press release and be prepared for them to take anything you say and twist it any way.

I'm curious as to what extent this sense of feeling closely related is also a product of ideology and further how it's reacting to globalization. Can this feeling of closeness be tied to particular biological factors, and how do we know if it can? How is it that many of us (especially online) feel much closer to individuals from other places than to our own countrypeople?

Lawyers are notorious for being mercenaries for hire. The most successful firms contract with corporations that take advantage of the law to their gain and society's detriment.

Medical doctors work for an industry that bankrupts sick people for being sick and and a huge number (if not a majority) of practicing doctors can be implicated in the opioid epidemic that has killed thousands and ruined countless lives.

Ethical contracts usually just lead to more politics imo. At the end of the day, we all bow to money in one way or another (some are just willing to bow lower than others).

Maybe we should stop pretending a profession can somehow make a person better than someone else in some sort of meta/ethical way.

Addendum: Personally I wish the law were more open to allowing people to defend themselves. A few years ago I went to court to defend myself in what I was sure was a simple misunderstanding in traffic court. Halfway through my second sentence (not in the legal sense), the judge interrupted me. Then the police officer tried to explain what he put in the ticket may not have been comprehensive. The judge cut him off too and decided it was in my best interest to "learn a lesson" and found me guilty of a violation I was not guilty of. The lesson I learned was if I had paid a lawyer $500 I would have gotten an honest hearing. I don't see the ethics or standards in that.

Digital ads could work where every single one is vetted by people before it’s served to any users. There is no reason it can’t work this way, other than it being a lot cheaper to skip that step.
It isn't. It can be combined with other letters, mostly with Alef, but I don't know of any case of it being used independently.
The reason that Brave doesn’t get a great rap around here is because it trips the sketchy detector. They make a marketing image of themselves as the protectors of privacy and whatnot and then the browser includes (or included) a lot of features that seem to go contrary to the stated mission.
Fair enough. The figure did indeed come from Congressional testimony today.

It's certainly possible Cruz was wrong or using an unfair interpretation. I feel safe saying that the donations would be skewed at least 90/10 and probably much more.
Switched from Firefox to Brave in the last year across devices and not looking back (though I do miss containers!).

Blocking ads and trackers by default is pretty much essential in 2019.

The myth about ad replacement doesn't seem to want to die though!

There is no ad replacement, though the roadmap says at some time in the future publishers who opt-in will have the option to have their ad-slots filled by Brave's privacy-respecting approach.

For now I think the only ad trials running are pop-up notifications if users opt-in, and that's only in a few markets at this stage.

Not something I plan to opt-in to, but looking forward to the Github / Reddit / Twitter tipping and integrated crypto wallet.

That's all rolling through in the next few months.
That's still terrible. If I'm a Youtube content creator who doesn't want anything to do with Brave, they're still going to remove the ads that I want on my videos to monetize my content, and hold any of the BAT that Brave users contribute to me hostage.

Well yeah, obviously, given that it ain't transparent.

> You are effectively saying poker would be better if everyone's cards were face up.

You are effectively saying that an ideal system is one that we'd have to treat like a poker game.

Even assuming the premise here holds true (that a transparent system will be more easily gamed by more people), that'd ultimately be better than the opaque case. The more people who are able to game a system, the less one individual can effectively game it for one's own individual benefit at the expense of everyone else in that system.
I don't like wasting money either.

Of course it's up to you, but if I were you I would just get a controller and just get started. It's never been easier, cheaper or better. If you want to save money you could just get something secondhand from ebay.

I am invested in and love Ableton but there are lots of good options out there.

Like I say, I don't think hardware is necessary these days. It is fun to have dedicated knobs for everything but if you get a good controller it's much more flexible overall.

I can put 10 instruments into a single instrument rack on a track in Ableton and immediately have 8 macro knobs to control whatever I want about all 10 instruments at once.

You can easily do crazy stuff like create mutant instruments that morph between completely different instruments or samples, and change effect settings according to how hard you play the notes, or what part of the bar you're in. The limit is really only your imagination!

Then if you want, you can just duplicate that whole complex track with a single keypress. It's crazy. You can't do that with hardware!

Getting it to sound musical is the hard part, and that's where hardware shines - because you're limited in options, you can usually just turn it on and get a good sound out if it immediately. But IMO that's not a real reason that hardware is better because of course you could limit yourself to that in software too.

You sound like you can afford it and have the desire. I would just buy something and get started. It's heaps of fun, as long as you don't put too much pressure on yourself!
For regular mortals the cheapest way to get Mathematica is to get Raspberry Pi. Raspbian has Mathematica in its repo (sudo apt install wolfram-engine). The performance is not great but maybe the latest RPi 4 will help.
Good for me not for thee.
I've been using brave for a few months and I never noticed any difference in its ad blocking performance vs Chrome with AdBlock. I actually perceived it as faster, since most AdBlocking plugins on chrome actually let some ads through (ads that pay the plugin authors i guess).

In what situation would this "orders of magnitude slower" actually manifest itself as a perceptable delay?
The official wiki is good: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules

This article looks like a good intro: https://roberto.selbach.ca/intro-to-go-modules/

The equivalent of "npm install" is "go get" (optionally "-u"). You can also edit go.mod manually. Like NPM, this must be done within an application's root.

A point of confusion might be the difference between a module and a package. A package is just a folder that declares "package foo" at the top in all its Go files. A module is the closest analogue to an NPM package. Similar to NPM, a single Git repo can contain many nested modules. Unlike NPM, modules can be imported with Git -- no need to publish to a special registry.

When a Go file imports a package, the referenced package might live in a module outside your own. It knows it's outside your module because go.mod defines the full root path (e.g. github.com/foo/bar/baz) of your module.

You might experience some confusion when you look at how the new module system interacts with the old GOPATH way. Go current supports both modes.
Anything from these brands will be decent - Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Audiotechnica, Shure. If you're not actually producing music and just looking for casual music listening, anything within the lower price range($100-$300) should be alright.

If you limit yourself merely to detecting abusive tweets, perhaps it is hard. But there are plenty of ways to adjust the way the social dynamics work that would decrease this kind of behavior but, I believe the argument goes, most of those would also decrease _engagement_.

The real problem is the incentives, both for Twitter and for people interacting on twitter. The solution is probably _social_ rather than technical, but as long as Twitter wants to keep your eyeballs on their site for as long as possible (so they can sell ads or whatever to advertisers) a whole host of solutions are going to be verboten.

By way of example, Hackernews literally has a feature to just lock you out of the site if you are using it more than you want to. That is great for us, the users. But twitter would never do such a thing.
Have you tried using it recently? The quantum rewrite they released last year is incomparable to the previous releases. I use FF at home and Chrome at work and I can tell you that there is no noticeable difference in performance. The only time you'll notice the difference is when you use google apps that are written specifically for Chrome, but I personally prefer to avoid trusting the biggest adtech company in the world with my personal data. Plus, FF supports vertical tabs, Chrome doesn't.
Ditto. Just put in an order for the NuraLoops https://www.nuraphone.com/products/nuraloop

There are a myriad of issues that put the planes at risk, but I think that the fact that when the control system (MCAS) is engaged causes it to ignore feedback is the biggest issue of all.

"But with the MCAS activated, said Fehrm, those breakout switches wouldn’t work. MCAS assumes the yoke is already aggressively pulled back and won’t allow further pullback to counter its action, which is to hold the nose down.

Fehrm’s analysis is confirmed in the instructions Boeing sent to pilots last weekend. The bulletin sent to American Airlines pilots emphasizes that pulling back the control column will not stop the action.

Fehrm said that the Lion Air pilots would have trained on 737 simulators and would have learned over many years of experience that pulling back on the yoke stops any automatic tail maneuvers pushing the nose down." [0].

If you bought a new computer, how pissed off would you be if you lost data not because of a hard-drive failure, but because of a weird design decision of the 1 penny caps lock key? Imagine spending the time to setup a proper RAID system and losing everything because of a design decision in the keyboard.

I mean if the media keeps reporting about the small stuff that's wrong, it's going to make people go "well planes are complex and things happen" and almost ignore the seriousness of a design decision that ignores user input.

Don't have time to list all the eye-poppingly blatant misconstruals I've seen in NYT.

This is an interesting question.

Technically there is more than one possible implementation, but you would also have to go out of your way to get it wrong. Automatically determining what constitutes "going out of your way" so that the code can be generated automatically is an active area of research (program synthesis), but as this post already shows, for "simple" cases, we're getting pretty close.

As the post mentions, there are certain dead giveaways of an incorrect implementation, such as unused variables. Conversely one may still have some rough idea of the desired code to guide the implementation. The point is not about entirely removing one's mind from the process, but to allow oneself to only think about the choices that matter, which are few.

Alternatively, another way to look at the problem is that these types, while already being quite precise, are still not as precise as they could be, because the type system is not sufficiently expressive. And even with the ability to describe the desired properties to uniquely determine the implementation:

- it may not be obvious that the implementation is in fact uniquely determined;

- a solution, unique or not, may not be easy to find automatically. Program synthesis is essentially the same problem as proof search (c.f. Curry-Howard correspondence); knowing that there is a proof of Fermat's last theorem is not sufficient to construct an actual proof of it from scratch.

For these reasons, it may still be desirable to nail down the implementation explicitly even if it is hard to read.

It's also worth considering the fact that polysemy (the package that the controversial snippet at the beginning of the post comes from) is very much an implementation of a state-of-the-art effect system using state-of-the-art features of Haskell's type system, so it can be expected that the abstractions to make this code more digestible (for the right audience) are still missing, because no one has ever thought of how to express them yet.

In that sense, lean is essentially the same solution as reducing buffer size to increase network throughout.

Excess capacity pooling decreases stopages but prevents signalling of problems back through the chain.
Also, as others have pointed out in this thread, they don't replace ads on websites with their own. It blocks ads, and if you want you can view Brave ads in exchange for their cryptocurrency and optionally donate them to participating publishers. I'd say this is no worse than a regular ad blocker, but you at least have the choice to attempt to remunerate the publisher for the lost revenue.
Yes, trackers are blocked by default, and the Google / Twitter / Facebook login options are in the Brave preferences section.
By that logic, "get a rope" isn't a death threat. Maybe they just want to build a bridge.

I think you're doing some motivated reasoning.
There's important nuance here that has a large impact. I'm not talking about geopolitical espionage, which I'd agree goes in all directions.

I'm talking about concerted IP / business secrets theft which is then funneled to domestic companies. I call these companies "state-controlled" because they are ultimately susceptible to the authoritarian central government's will.

I can't think of anywhere else in the world where this is not only routine, but coordinated at massive scale. Can you inform me what I'm missing?

Edit: I disagree with your last point too. There's been plenty of reporting on Chinese IP theft dating back years, it's only increased in prominence. Trump is waging the trade war partially because of the history of hacking. It was a point of contention throughout Obama's admin too, but Trump is handling it his way. (Obama's answer was TPP, but deployed too late)

Yes, just like a small number of censors can cut off a suicidal Ian Murdock's last communication channels so he runs out of excuses for postponing his suicide, only to assure themselves the next day that they did nothing wrong.
There's also the approach that calculates the energy of the resulting image as opposed to the seam being removed, which allows the seams to pass through objects where doing so will minimize artifacts.
