Depending on which issues matter to you, there are a lot more than 4 dimensions.

I'm a fun example. Of the major candidates in the last election, preference list read (best to worst) Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, (big gap) John Kasich, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton. This does not fit with ANYONE's idea of the political spectrum.

Why that order, and how do the most oppositely polarized candidates wind up on top? My top issue is NSA surveillance. Ted Cruz opposed NSA surveillance and has publicly voted and taken a stand on it. Sanders has questioned it and been luke-warm against it. Kaisich at least made some comforting noises about controls. The only good thing to hope for about Trump is that he will be incompetent. The remaining two are strongly pro-NSA and bureaucratically competent enough that they would have been able to push the NSA agenda forward.

That said, people like me are weird. As survey data shows, the parties are polarizing along the traditional left/right divide. See https://www.people-press.org/2014/06/12/political-polarizati... for data showing that now over 90% of Democrats/Republicans are farther left/right than the average Republican/Democrat. While back in the mid-90s, there was a much, much larger overlap of views.

You seem to be a very shallow person with no depth to write what you have. Seems like you're an evil force I've encountered by fate and similar as other forces i've experienced but I prefer that label for what's best described by the word faith.

I would disagree. Most people believe in man-made climate change. It is a centrist belief. The ability to turn that topic into a fearful subject where you can rake in tax dollars is where it becomes an issue and a platform for the left.

> Subtle framing, selective quotation, anonymous sources, "repeat the lie" techniques, and so on,

I can recall this being a part of the news since I was a young child, and I'm in my mid 40s. It's certainly not a new phenomenon.

A good documentary about the topic is The Century of Self, a BBC doc about the inception of propaganda and marketing in the US.
Because it's monetizing other peoples content. In my view, it's the same as cutting and pasting somebody else's content onto my own site with my own ads.

Even if I promise to give most of the money I make back to the original content creator, I really have no right to the small part I skim.

Update: Sorry didn't mean to suggest it was unethical for you to view a page any way you want, but I think the creators of the Brave browsers are scuzzy.

Update Two: I see now that Brave have updated the policy and will only collect funds for creators that have opted in.
I think there's something about that. It may have just the opposite effect. Revenge porn ? "That's a deepfake".

Okay, you've signalled that they do do it, but now there are not enough points of data. How many points of data is your burden of proof, before you agree?
Therefore what?
Are you proposing that they don't autoplay anything that you haven't explicitly opted in to? Discovering new creators is pretty important to both Youtube and its users. Or do you want it to autoplay something that's not based on any personalized recommendation? That would reduce the value of Youtube over TV in that it caters to niche interests.

I could rev my engine while pressing the brake on a 2014 Honda Civic (helped with not going backwards when I needed to start moving from a standstill on a steep hill). Is that modern enough for you?

Even if people know the domain they are going to, many people still type it into google anyway.

I know I do this, for a couple of reasons. One, so I don't have to type in the whole domain. Two, to avoid accidentally hitting a typo-squatter.
I use golang quite a lot. The way this should be used is being ignored by all of the examples I have seen so far.

When an error occurs people should be doing what they already should be doing. That is to say, immediately log/wrap the error with context (file + line information) so that the error can be immediately found. Then if there are any callers of this failing function, they are the ones who should use try.

func A() error {
if err := do(); err != nil {
log(err)
return err
}
return nil
}

func B() error {
try(A())
return nil
}

To be honest though, I don't personally like this proposal.
> That response might well require that browsers display pages exactly as the publisher intends.

IANAL, but I highly doubt that the government will mandate what browsers people run on their computers. Outside of North Korea, of course.
Actually for example 1959 in Arabic the modern way to say it is "A thousand and nine hundred and fifty nine - الف وتسعمائة وتسعة وخمسون" but we also can say (and this is the old way) "Nine and fifty and nine hundred and a thousand - خمس ﻮ تسعون ﻮ تسع مئة وألف" which from tight to left.
I think it actually goes both ways. They might have been initially incredibly popular and subsequently Nike flooded the market with the sneaker to the point that it ended up on clearance shelves (https://solecollector.com/news/2017/04/air-jordan-1-og-sales...).
The article also mentions that Nike targeted ~3-4 million pairs of the sneaker, which is relatively high for a hyped sneaker.
For a modern comparison, this article (https://thesolesupplier.co.uk/news/heres-stock-numbers-off-w...) claims only ~48k pairs of last year's hyped Off-White x Nike Blazer Mid ‘Black’ sneaker were released.
> But even if you're right, why is it unethical for me to install software on my own computer to render websites differently than the creator intended?

It's not unethical for you to run that program, but what is being argued is that Brave (the company) is acting unethically, for example by taking donations on behalf of other people without their consent[0].

Ive always thought getting kids to write code on the prior generations of Pi was the fastest way to turn them off programming. Kids aren’t stupid, they can tell the computer is horrifically slow and not much fun to use as a desktop computer.

It’s a truly terrible development desktop machine. It’s great fun for deploying the projects you built on a even vaguely modern other computer that doesn’t lag just dragging an IDE window around, but I sure as heck wouldn’t want to actually develop the code on it.

I’m curious to see if the extra power offered by the 4 meaningfully changes this, but I don’t think it’s going to change my own habits.
I think Brave has the ability to save the web, it has a great model of blocking ads by default, at a lower level than the extensions do so it is much faster. I think Opera had/has this too.
Oh, my bad.

Not a conspiracy. Willful negligence to make their story. They don't care about facts. They care about what they think gets them views. I don't think it's nefarious. The point is if they're willing to change facts to suit their needs for such an insignificant story, chances are it happens regularly with more important things.

> Indexing is expensive. If there's a shared public index, that'd make it a lot easier for people to try new ranking algorithms. Maybe the index can be built into the way the new internet works, like DNS or routing, so the cost is shared.

But what are you storing in your index? The content that is considered in your ranking will vary wildly by your ranking methods. (example - early indexes cared only for the presence of words. Then we started to care about the count of words, then the relationships between words and the context. Then about figuring out if the site was scammy, or slow.

The only way to store an index of all content (to cover all the options) is to...store the internet.

I'm not trying to be negative - I feel very poorly served by the rankings that are out there, as I feel on 99% of issues I'm on the longtail rather than what they target. But I can't see how a "shared index" would be practical for all the kinds of ranking algorithms both present and future.
I guess it's part of Googles Ads's endless battle against "robot" clicks. A site as big as SO should not use Google ads, but instead use their own ad service. Just make an automated system where people can signup and show an ad. Make it cost 1$ per 100 page views. That would probably earn SO two orders of magnitude more then they get from Google Ads.
It's funny as an Arabic native speaker who also speaks French I don't even think about these kind of things.
Tv spots are very limited. Digital ad impressions number in the billions with 10s of millions of ad creatives. It’s not the same situation.
Maybe for the people who don't understand what 'organic' actually means and thinks it is some kind of code for 'fake chemically stuff'. Canning is old technology, before cheap jars and cans we just made potted meat which was a clay pot sealed with butter or lard. Glass, metal, and wax are just better replacements for lard and butter.
i swear like 4-5 years ago it was commonly $4 and organic/free range/memory foam pillow raised chicken was like $7. now the fancy chicken is like $9. its ridiculous. i'm talking only breasts here, thighs/legs you can get cheaper. haven't seen breast meat for less than $2.50 in almost 10 years

I can't tell that I'm seeing "their" ads. The way I see ads is a notification type prompt where I have to click view and navigate to a sponsored page. Do you have a side by side where Brave replaces a site's ad with their own?

They're pretty deadly, and it's not collisions that kill them. It's the pressure differential caused by them. It's too hard on their lungs and makes them rupture. It's less deadly to birds in that way, their respiratory system tends to be sturdier.
The proliferation of Black hat SEOs would render this useless.
I'd always assumed you could block specific ads or advertisers since there's a button on each ad with a menu for that (on the circled i button). But when I just tried it, it refused because it said personalized ads were turned off, even though there were turned on. So I guess that's just another weirdly broken pretend-feature.

React does that, they call it synthetic events, but it's hidden from the developer. In jQuery it used to be called event delegation, made it easy to handle events on dynamic elements without the need to constantly attach/detach handlers.

Conversely, the language semantics make some more aggressive optimizations possible by the compiler, without the programmer having to drop hints.
Ergodic and chaotic are not the same either (the difference being in long time diverging behavior of two trajectories that start very close together); many lazy physics science writers and occasionally physicists conflate them.

Not just arbitrary JavaScript, arbitrary JavaScript where they can’t easily even see where it came from! Sheesh.

Could we require advertisers to sign their ad code to have a trail of where it came from, prevent tampering, and make it easier to pull the plug on bad actors?

The people bearing the costs of the internet ad economy aren’t the people in any position to do anything about it. So there’s very little pressure to fix anything.

Maybe if the US government started threatening to enact something like GDPR unless the a democratic industry gets its shit together.
Except they don't. See above.
These "lungs of the Earth" consume almost the entirety of the oxygen they produce directly. The oxygen that they do produce, indirectly, that we are able to consume comes from 'run-off' from the forest floor producing plankton blooms, which produce oxygen and sequester carbon as they fall to the ocean floor. What this would instead do is stop redistributing resources from a water-starved but resource-rich Africa to a water-rich but relatively resource-starved South America. Whether that's a good thing or not seems more like something to leave them to figure out amongst themselves, but I imagine it will be hard for hundreds of millions of Africans to turn down if it was possible to cheaply bring water there.
That position is not supported by nearly all peer-reviewed evidence (for any reasonable value of "end the world").

The only reason it’s not the same situation is because they’re willing to throw their users under the bus for a little extra cash. If they wanted to exert more control, they absolutely could. Ads would cost more and we’d see fewer distinct ads as a result.

That would be amazing. It’s interesting that several native, Apple apps, specifically around media playback, don’t support common key commands using the official iPad keyboard.

I use the iPad more when traveling since I have a lot of media on Apple TV, but there isn’t really a comparison UX wise.

I disagree. An engineer is someone who applies a science to build a solution (aka a product). Mechanical/Electrical/Nuclear engineering is applied physics.

This is not a valid reasoning.
Milton Friedman is only one school of economic thought. Nothing is proven in economics and likely won't be since it involves human psychology. When gas prices rose dramatically economists expected the US to move away from large vehicles. That's not what happened. The rational thought is almost never what happens in economics. People buy high and sell low, their purchases are often emotional, and investors pour money into acting blockchain.
> So much so, in the process of modernising Turkish, about 90 years ago, whatever little concept of gender Turkish had was completely stripped from the language, leaving only 'it'

Do you have a source for that at all? Lack of grammatical gender is a feature of the entire family so I would be surprised if there were somehow "remnants" of it that were present as recently as Ataturk's reforms. Removing loans that happen to be gendered in their source language don't really count.

I don't know whether such scripts send it to a server, compare it locally to a previously-known value, or ignore it.
