Really appreciate the info you've given here so far.

Followup question off of GP's: if networks know to filter click-fraud out based on metrics as simple as browser version, then aren't those same metrics exploitable to avoid tracking? Firefox's resist fingerprinting setting locks the reported browser version to the latest ERS. If I have that turned on, will every ad click I make be ignored?

Keep in mind, the big goal I have with misinformation is to confuse user profiles; not to generate fake clicks or waste money -- it's to make is so that my actual data profile is either unreliable or outright ignored.

If this kind of filtering is so ubiquitous, then would it be feasible defense to get user browsers to act like bots instead of getting bots to act like users? How bot-like would I need to be before advertisers started assuming the data they collected from me was untrustworthy?
To borrow from Tony Stark: And I vowed to stop eating dairy, but then they named a Ben & Jerry's flavor after me, so ...

Anthropic Principle (1999)
There's strict liability (without legal regulated supply we have essentially zero liability) and there's near-genocide.

"Scorched Earth", "erased as the war criminals and pestilence on humanity they are", further abused, forced into same-sex incarcerated relationships. We've tried this. It hasn't solved yet.

"Just kill them" for climbing without a rope? For risking their long-term health for short-term relief from physical and mental trauma and subsequent addiction, for not violating anyone else's rights but their own, you think you have the right (and moral obligation!) to violate their rights? Because they're inferior. They're an eyesore. "Eliminate the weak!" (who aren't violating the rights of others). Can you think of groups of people in human history who have taken that approach, violated the rights of others, and been cured by subsequent prison?

With the savings from not paying $50,000 a year for learn-to-silently-move-tax-free-contraband-in-cool-school incarceration and attempted concurrent rehabilitation (while the right to address personal health matters is denied), there should be plenty of money to prosecute property crime and littering and biohazards. Let me just reward you with food, a place to stay, gangs, and zero need for personal financial responsibility.

You litter in the street, the park, an alleyway, where f'ing kids play, you spend some of your time cleaning that s' up. For free. Because that's violating the rights of other people.
No, quite the opposite. Shutting it down often makes things worse. Deplatforming (both in the social sense and in the technological sense) gained traction around 2013 and 2014. Do you think that bigotry and racism as reduced since then? The daily stormer was kicked off cloudflare in 2017. Do you see a reduction in hate and bigotry?

No, if anything we have seen an increase. You can't change people's minds by ostracizing them. Shutting down speech, especially the speech you think is immoral, makes the problem worse.

And to your point, yes people have changed the minds of white nationalists by engaging with them. It's hard but it can happen. By comparison, how many white nationalists do you think had their minds changed by having their speech censored? Usually this only reinforces the belief in a {Jewish | Globalist | immigrant | etc. } conspiracy against whites. If people think big tech is run by George Soros and is censoring conservatives and is working to the detriment of whites, then getting kicked off th internet is pretty much directly reinforcing their conspiracy.
I had no idea roundup was that old and revolutionary
I live in Portland, OR and have been to Seattle many times. This article is disingenuous -- homelessness and hard drug use are blights on these two rapidly growing cities.

I'm deeply critical of our criminal justice system and feel that we need a complete revamping of who and why we criminalize. Instead of stop and frisk like tacits that disproportionately affect minorities we need to refocus our police and penitentiary efforts on bringing these folks into a facility specifically designed to wean them off drugs and rehabilitate.
I definitely like it better than the Chicken Shack. I’m sure Shake Shack uses higher quality ingredients — like there’s no question in my mind — but the Popeyes wins on taste.
You replied to a post complaining that the policy also seemed to be giving violent individuals a pass, and accused them of "think[ing] that non-violent addicts should be put into prison". Which was neither said nor (as you claim) implied. The comment was explicitly bemoaning a perceived plague of "repeat violent drug addicts"
At least part of the cause of the visible squalor we see in Seattle is that the tough-on-crime crowd has consistently opposed safe injection, harm reduction, trash pickup, housing-first, and other evidence-based policies in favor of expensive, inhumane, and pointless measures like sweeps and incarceration. Any measure the city government takes that is not overtly cruel gets slammed as coddling the homeless or "attracting" homeless to the city, despite the fact that the data show this trope to be a fiction.
There were much worse fires in those administrations, and no internation commotion and criticism like what we're seeing now.

Naming Things Is Hard but We Still Have to Try
This works, as you say, until the air during the night is much colder than during the day. In one summer there were weeks when the air during the night was 27C and it obviously did not cool down.

Another downside is that when you do not have mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and your rooms are relatively well built (i.e. air tight) then you are left with bad air quality inside.

I think that best is to combine night cooling with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
> that religions hinge on explaining the unknowable

I don't think that is right. Mircea Eliade suggested that the primary function of mythology was a series of stories our lives could participate in and experience, and I think that's closer to the way religion is usually understood in most parts of the world outside the corner of Protestantism where your view holds most weight.

> often in ways that harms certain communities and life styles

My kids get to navigate three very different cultures -- traditional Indonesian society where getting married, procreating, and raising children is central to the family business economic order, the US where those are entirely separated from each other, and Germany where the recognition is you cannot have gender equality without support particularly for motherhood. I don't think you get that the conflicts between these are not merely religious but much more about the economic and social constitution of the societies, and that seeking to deprive, for example, Indonesia of their family business economic order in the name of sexual individualism or whatever harms these communities by opening them up to foreign exploitation. It's colonialism pure and simple.

Religion is an expression of culture and we assume our superiority over others culturally at great peril to both sides.
I was living in Riverside county in 2016. In late June, I remember one day in particular the thermometer on the back porch read 119F in partial shade. I had to drive to Phoenix later that day to help a family member (one of my wifes aunts, her daughter had recently and unexpectedly passed and she was elderly, alone, was having issues with her AC and couldn't get things sorted out on her own). I left Murrieta around 10PM and while passing through the desert around midnight, close to the AZ/CA border, I had to stop and take a picture of the temperature gauge on my car. Midnight and 102F. It blew my mind. I knew that it was going to stay hot but I'd have never thought that it'd be > 100F at midnight. It gave me a renewed respect for this desert that we live near (and that you live in...).
I think the latest city council election is going to show that Seattle sadly wants more of the same problems and people like us are unwelcome

This article makes it seem like debating politics is a good practices in workplace. It is NOT!

Talking politics in workplace is not professional - different political opinions can wreck marriages, it can certainly wreck your job too! Just think about what if your boss is having a completely different political opinions than what you belief.

Also any major corporations leaning one side of the political party would immediately alienate the other half the political spectrum and may risk losing businesses who believe in the opposition political parties.
Google refused to call out China over disinformation about Hong Kong
China didn't use to have any notable aviation industry. Jetliners were predominantly manufactured in Europe, North America, Russia, and Brazil. China has only entered manufacturing in the last decade. Many aviation companies worldwide have Western expats and pilots among their staff. So, not sure that this carries special political significance.
> a country's most celebrated philosophy/literature/poetry tending to prefer e.g. elitism or a strong state

What's that supposed to be in reference to? Nietzsche?

> State is the name of the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly it lies; and this lie slips from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people."

> That was a trivial example.

Which is why I asked about these specific attitudes that were ascribed here, "not loving democcracy and hating themselves"

> They didn't think Germany was just "some individuals that happened to act in an individual manner as to cause a world war twice"

That's just putting words into my mouth.

To provide what I feel is a more accurate analogy than the one given by GP:

We currently have a destructive parasitic relationship with our ecosystem in which we consume resources without replenishing them, whereas the goal GP described is to pursue a more symbiotic parasitic relationship in which we give back resources that allow for the continuation of the ecosystem, even if in an altered form.

Depending on your interpretation of 'symbiotic' the proposal by the GP may better be described as 'disadvantageous' as by engineering our environment we put it in a relatively inferior state compared to its' natural one.
I'm really excited to play Classic and I'm worried about this. Everyone talks about how difficult Vanilla was, but there was also substantially less well-organized information about min/maxxing, boss fights, strategies, etc. The info existed, but it was messy, scattered, and a lot of folks didn't even know it existed. In 2019 WoW-focused YouTube channels and Twitch streams are a dime a dozen, there are quite a few sites focused on min/maxxing, and we've also got past experiences to make Classic substantially easier/smoother than Vanilla was.

But like I said, I'm worried about that. So I'm trying to avoid as much info about Classic as I can. I pre-registered my character based off of my first main character in WoW, rather than what's raid-viable. I aim to avoid guides and stay the hell away from easy-mode addons (Quest Helper, DBM, etc.). I want to recapture as much of my original experience as I can.

Is it possible to embed your product in a single web application and have different communities for each of my clients?

Each client will have multiple users.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll be fixing some of inconsistencies in the next update.
Semantically speaking, the elements that could be used to compose a fingerprint is not the same as fingerprinting.

If I write a page that uses user agent / resolution to serve up a layout -- that's not fingerprinting. Fingerprinting would be if I tried to identify a particular user with those elements.

I think the problem you're trying to illustrate is that it is difficult for a browser to determine what the requesting site intends to do with those parameters. The browser doesn't know if you want canvas access to draw a pretty picture, or if you want canvas access to perform identification of the user.

The alternative is often vigilante justice, which is worse for everyone. Apparently the 'coffee throwing guy' was beaten by the child's father after he threw coffee - certainly an understandable reaction from a father who saw his child assaulted.

Also in hotter areas good to have ridge vents installed. Its basically make small slot in the peak of the roof with a cap above it. This allows hot air to circulate out of the attic.
“It’s bad to question the legitimacy when you win” was meant to implicitly have the same “without evidence” qualifier as the previous statement.

I must disagree with your last paragraph in the most strenuous possible way. The peaceful and orderly transition of power is by far the most important aspect of democracy, and public faith in elections is a crucial part of that. I don’t care how great Trump thought he was or how awful his opponent was, saying he’ll only accept the result if he wins, with no evidence of any problems with the electoral process, is extremely destructive to the foundation of the whole country. If it was Jesus versus Satan, I’d still expect Jesus to say that he’ll accept the results of the election if Satan wins.

The Chick-fil-a chicken tenders taste okay enough on their own, but they really don't taste like the nuggets or the chicken on the sandwich. Like it's a different coating, different seasoning. Not sure why.

I like Popeye's just fine, but Church's Chicken! Now that's some tasty stuff. :-) I am five minutes from either Popeye's or Chick-fil-a, but the nearest Church's is hours away.
Exactly. Even when I am typing something with a friendly coworker causally looking over my shoulder, I tend to make way more mistakes then I would if I was by myself.

I've been interviewing a lot of people, and it is very, very important to make them feel as comfortable and as much at ease as possible in couple of first minutes etc. Otherwise you're going to be testing their stress resistance, and not creative thinking. And it is just impossible to completely remove the stress.
And this was common workplace discussion!? This seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I don’t know why you’d want to introduce the divisiveness of politics to your workplace.
I suppose you are also in favor of legalizing drunk driving, because the gross negligence of the matter is irrelevant?
yeah i missed that, it works perfectly fine!
I don’t understand why publishers are against Audible Captions. That feature makes audiobooks less pirate-able, and it also won’t lead to more pirating of ebooks, since it’s better to share a cracked ePub rather than ill-formatted captions. The only revenue loss I can see is from customers who would otherwise buy both the Kindle and the Audible version, but that must be a small fraction.
I had a logo made on 99designs last year. I quite liked the experience as a customer; with limited experience in hiring a creator, I got what I wanted. But the process made me a little uncomfortable.

Basically the process went like this...

- put up description of what I want

- declare how much I am willing to pay

- have people submit proposals

- ask designers I like it iterate on design as needed

- pick a winner

I wasn't comfortable asking people to do work and have no money change hands if I rejected all the designs, so I committed to selecting a winner so that at least someone got paid. I was OK enough with this part of the process, as it felt a bit like people applying to a job and hiring one of them, and I was doing my best to make the job not crappy.

The part that got under my skin was that I got so many submissions. Like 50. I was paying like $400 for what I had originally thought would cost $99 (paid more to attract more submissions, so not sure why I am surprised). It hadn't really registered with me how much work I'd be creating for other people by through this process.

In the end, I am OK with the platform as a tool for finding designers I like. I have since hired the designer who won for more work, so in a sense it's a recruiting platform for me. But I can see how many would put in a lot of work and never get paid at all. Kind of like real life :P
I'm not sure I'd jump so quickly to dismiss the statements of either the parent or grandparent as an exaggeration.
The Democrats want Republicans in New York and California to have their votes count for President, because they believe all votes should count equally.

The Republicans want Democrats in Texas, Michigan, and North Carolina to have their votes ignored or be unable to vote, because all they believe in is winning at any cost.
You were ratelimited by @dang for acting poorly, not surprisingly your continuing to act against the sites policy for downvoting.
Generally, the depth cameras don't provide enough precision in the data to be able to manage anything usable. If you want to scan an object to recreate something close it'll generally work ok but if you wanted to scan the object to build around it, and have things like up accurately then it's not good enough.

Off-topic: On Safari (both iOS and macOS), outline never works for me. Has anyone observed this?
(on iOS, pressing the button does nothing - the front-page with the box to enter the URL remains there. On macOS, it says "Something went wrong. We're sorry. This page failed to Outline.")

Is it because I use private browsing by default?

EDIT: Private browsing is not the culprit. Geo-restrictions maybe? Or because I use a VPN?
You think that junkies are higher income than the people who are forced to see them?
you could make such a store with the product catalog api.

The actual manifestations are affiliates who pair content with the products e.g a blog style product review with a product buy link in it. I have never seen a pure affiliate storefront focused on curation. You sometimes see curated lists in youtube reviews and videos.
Some early compilers such as THINK C for the Mac weren't very strict about typing when taking the address of an object. So for example you could do:

unsigned int x;

unsigned int * x_addr = &x;

unsigned int x_addr_addr = &(&x);

(or arbitrarily many levels of "address-of") and you'd just get the same address.
For sure, I don't disagree with you, but I dont think the world can wait for those problems to be solved.
The accuracy they state is a maximum, it depends on how close you are to the object. The closer, the higher the resolution. It appears to be a structured light technique so it is limited by the resolution of the projector and camera setup.
