My understanding is, that people have been falsely led to believe the opposite. The rise of snapchat ( a total hack in terms of keeping things impermanent), various promises from social media companies, and the constant insinuation by news articles that it is possible to be private on the internet have created a totally false belief. People used to be conscious about what they put online, nowadays it doesnt seem they are.
> We're always trying new things with Steam, but often only share them with the world when they're ready to be made a part of the platform. Steam Labs allows us to share these ideas earlier

...Steam has just entered the fabled early access phase :O

lol, for real this seem neat. In regards to the current 3 experiments:
MICRO-TRAILERS] this is a cool idea, I like when YouTube implemented a similar concept. My only hesitation with this, though, is it appears to just grab from a random point in the game trailer. The thing I don't like about some of the game's trailers I visit is it takes so long to show any real gameplay or, worse of all, shows no gameplay at all.
A novel, yet to be fair tough to manage, alternative would be to allow users to submit recorded gameplay clips, and have the community vote on the best "representative" clips, and show those instead.
My personally favorite is the 2x2 grid for curators.

INTERACTIVE RECOMMENDER] this is dope. I love this. It probably won't become my default way to discover, but I can easily see myself using this either once a week, or whenever I feel like spending some money. As a Linux user, I'd like the ability to filter by OS, but otherwise this is, again, dope.

AUTOMATIC SHOW] I like the base concept, but I can't see myself sitting through 30 minutes of its current iteration. The mockup video with the voiceover definitely is more appealing to me, I'm excited to see with how they progress with robotic voice over. Honestly, even if the robo-voice sounds stilted and odd, I think that could add to the charm. Don't try to act like a real human is behind the videos, embrace the concept of a robot tirelessly producing these daily [ or weekly / whatever ] videos. Sorta like a Toonami vibe. Tom was awesome!
Also, it'd be nice to split the videos into separate entities. One video for overall games, one video showcasing strategy, etc. Having to skip around in a 30 minute video to find the parts I care about is needless. Either split them up & let me choose, or develop an easy-to-use playback controller that lets me auto-skip to the parts that I'd be interested in. Like scene-selection on DVDs.
As a hobby photographer who dealt with some image metadata manipulation, I find this quite interesting. Interesting enough to question if this could be something we ourselves can be using, say, for a WordPress plugin, so tracking down copyright abuse would be more simpler.

Does anyone know existing, working solutions for this?
Is IPTC purged as well by CMS systems, similarly to XMP or EXIF?
Nice side project but risky to consider for commercial product. With google restricting access to its API, it is unreliable to use a free product for commercial purposes.
We just need to make heatpipes all the way to space.
I compiled a branch and bound program to test this.

Results for a 30x30 symmetric matrix processed using exact same code for both engines:

NodeJS: ~20 seconds
QuickJS: ~200 seconds

So, from a single experiment QuickJS seems about 10x slower than NodeJS for this particular use case.
First of all: user separation is not a robust mechanism. There are countless privilege escalation exploits. It's just one layer of protection.

If you insist that exploit can't escalate its privileges, then set this addon running privilege from Administrator. That would be a good thing actually.
I like the idea of having metacritic and more review-oriented info upfront near games. There's currently a few browser extensions that solve these issues. Valve would benefit from reaching out to these developers and implementing some of these features directly into the storefront. [ although, I get that it's a balance of keeping it feature-full + lightweight ]
I'm interested in why they wouldn't use LPeg instead. Those seem a lot easier to compose, reason about and debug; plus they have restricted backtracking.

Confused what this response is trying to say? Did you read the whole post? They addressed exactly those two things and explained how they're fixing them. You're just repeating part the blog post essentially; which is why I wonder if you finished reading it.

Agreed. Facebook is like a commercialized implementation of CIA and other miscellaneous intelligence practices. And its commercialization is skewed towards benefitting the advertising companies. This is a double negative.

There motto could have been to SERVE THE USER. Instead it became FOCUS on the user. They focus their product towards three dark patterns: extracting data from the user, manipulating the user, and addicting the user. For now it is towards the benefit of advertisers which is Relatively harmless in the future scheme of things.

A more benign use could have been connecting users across the world to each other and to other companies for healthy conversations. To be what FRIENDS were meant to always be.

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend.

I'm still skeptical about Stadia but even paying 10 USD per month for Stadia Pro makes sense for a lot of people if it means not having to spend hundreds of dollars upfront on a high end gaming rig. Being able to switch between the free and pro account from month to month due to changing life circumstances will probably be valuable to lots of people.

If Stadia REALLY wants to be competitive and attract wary gamers - who already are tired of yet another gaming platform after all the controversy surrounding Epic Games Store - they should:

* Throw serious money at game devs/publishers so they actually lower their prices with 10-15%. It might cost Stadia millions of dollars to subsidize games like this but growing their network of gamers will be one of their main challenges and what better way to attract gamers than with lower prices.

* Work fast to replicate Steam's feature set, especially when it comes to cloud saving/social features. People just don't want to wait years to get features that Steam has been offering for years.

* Avoid exclusives like the plague. Epic is being absolutely trashed for having exclusives and even though I don't think the criticism is always justified, showing that you respect PC gaming culture can win lots of people over.

* Ship the Pro account with hundreds of free games. There are already lots of cheap games that are REALLY good and Stadia should make deals with publishers to buy them for even less money. Again, it will cost them millions but offering superior value to customers at an early stage tends to really pay off and also works as great PR.

* Make sure they support Twitch in some fashion as streamers are incredibly influential and can make or break games. They might even fund the development of Twitch focused games that really involve chat in the gameplay.
even better, stop using internet
Is this measurable? I have this impression as well, but wonder whether it's purely subjective.

The 1975 flight did happen, and before that extensive familiarization with each other technologies needed for that. So I don't think it that obviously would never happen; however, historically speaking we have what we have...
Quick death in old age is one of the better scenarios. Worse things are: chronic pain, slowly losing ability to function (be it neurological or just joints giving up etc.) and also witnessing the same things in your spouse. Traditional cultures deal with it to a degree by children taking care of sick/senile parents, but here it won’t be the case.

This is very very optimistic. While the prices of panels are going down the rest of the cost isn't (land, permitting, installation labour, etc). And panels are only a small proportion of the cost now.

There is also only so much more efficient the panels can get per sq m. Right now we are approaching 20% efficiency, so the idea that they are going to get 10* cheaper with complete ease seems to be pushing it.

Regardless solar and wind have a lot of externalities that aren't really priced into these 2c/kWh PPA prices. If you need to build a
fleet of natural gas plants that are only operational 10% of the time and therefore cost 50c/kWh to take up the slack from low solar days it needs to be priced in somehow.

Calculating Shannon entropy does rely on the symbolic alphabet and its probabilities of occurrance (see Wikipedia on Shannon entropy); however, I don't know how bandwidth is calculated. What makes you think it is as fundamental as temperature? One thing I know is that thermodynamic entropy has never been fully commensurated with information entropy -- unless someone has a ref otherwise.

Dialup internet did exceed 30kbps -- and that's because the bandwidth of the channel (the copper wire) was not the limiter. That's why DSL works and can in theory reach 1 gbps
(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_subscriber_line)

I believe it is the channel plus the receiving mechanism plus the sending mechanism plus the encoding mechanism that determine the bandwidth. I am not asserting this, but that is my understanding.

I mean we're not necessarily talking about malware that has taken over the computer. More like software companies whose installers 'helpfully' install their browser extension behind the users back.

The same is true for link handlers, file extension associations, context menu entries, browser plugins. None of these should be able to be changed by applications, only by the user themselves.

We're entering an age where applications running in a user session are no longer user agents but users of your computer unto themselves that need have their own permissions boundary. Applications running as the user != the user anymore.

Obituary: Andrew Graham-Yooll, man who dared to report on Argentina's missing
Humans have a tendency to normalize the common. I think most people would adapt to solitude given long enough time. What made him end up in the woods at 20 is much more interesting than how he survived all the years. This was clearly his normalized state at 20.

Our senses are constantly bombarded, or maybe the right phrasing is “hijacked” with information. This will affect us in one way or another. This guy clearly choose information that has no intention to monetary profit on his decisions. But again, it’s not a calculated decision. It’s a product of his history.

I’m sure you can find happiness in solitude if you’re willing to take the cost of transitioning. Hell, you might even be able to self induce happiness in the void of information. Perhaps by talking to an imaginary friend.
> A thing to think about: often there are many different graphs you can create to represent the same thing. Each graph representation can focus on or hide different aspects of the real system.

This is usually the start of my argument in favour of representing data in a relational form. Any one graph is a projection of the domain. It privileges certain reads and writes over others. You inevitably find queries and updates that don't fit the graph's original shape and then suddenly it's a giant PITA to work with.

If I build a project management system, I might have a graph that runs [Project] -> [Workers] -> [Timesheets]. If I want to calculate the sum of time on a particular project that's fairly efficient. But if I want to get the sum of time for a particular worker, I will need to traverse every project looking for them.

In a relation form I'd have [Projects] n..n [Workers], [Workers] 1..n [Timesheets] and [Projects] 1..n [Timesheets]. When I need to sum in a project, I join on that. When I need to sum on a worker, I join on that. Neither is privileged over the other.

> induction hobs - they feel a lot like cooking with gas

This really depends on the hobs. Bad ones are nowhere near gas quality and trend to regulate the heat by going a few seconds full power then few seconds off. Good ones regulate in a much smoother / more consistent way. We can't compare generic "induction hob" - it doesn't exist.

My point was: that may have been (in part) thanks to the Western policy. If you're confrontational, you'll strengthen inner unity, and if you isolate a country, you aren't likely to convince the population that a different system of governance is possible.

You could ask another question.

Should you feel empathy for other people? If the answer is yes then their are a couple of consequences.

Firstly, you should be concerned about the people you take resources from. Not just in terms of money but in terms of emotional impact.

Secondly, we should be concerned about the welfare of starving people in the wilderness. We should have sympathy for them.

Both moral imperatives exist at the same time. And accepting one imperative does not eliminate the other. If you need to steal then you should feel bad about that. And we should care about the dignity of people, even when they do things to harm us.

It's Facebook. FB doesn't give 2 licks about an individual.
I doubt they were storing plaintext passwords. If I remember rightly the way LiveJournal login worked back in the day is that the server stored the MD5 of the password. Then when someone went to log in the server sent a random challenge to the client, which computed the MD5 of the password locally, concatenated that with the challenge, and sent the MD5 of that to the server. This does have the unfortunate consequence that knowing the server-stored MD5 is equivalent to having the plaintext password when logging into LiveJournal, but it doesn't give the server an actual plaintext password that can be used elsewhere. Someone's probably been busy doing some password cracking.
Turn of millennium was era before of SSL/TLS. Livejournal did not want to send clear text password during login to the site. SRP was patent encumbered (and anyway implementing proper PAKE in JavaScript of that era was unfeasible).

So at Livejournal implemented their own challenge-handshake auth: https://www.livejournal.com/doc/server/ljp.csp.auth.challres.... Unfortunately it require storing plain-text equivalent of password on the server.

Seems to be worked fine through the years, but they used it well past "best before" date.

There will always be a large number of Americans that don't want to pay for other's poor habits. With car insurance people with fewer accidents or tickets get discounts but you can't do that in healthcare because of pre-existing conditions.

I propose a 2 part system. One system is government funded and pays for ambulances, ER visits, annual checkups/physicals, and maybe a few other basic services like dental cleaning. When you dial 911, the police and fire department both come for free, so why does the ambulance bill you a grand? Any sort of life or death situation would be covered by this. Abuse of the system can be monitored and the government has plenty of recourse.

The 2nd part of the system would cover short and long-term illnesses and conditions as well as prescriptions. Things like orthodontics could also be a part of it. Basically, it pays for any doctor that doesn't work in an ER. This way people who don't use these services a lot aren't burdened by those that do while at the same time eliminating the fear (and litigation) that comes with being bankrupted by a catastrophic accident
