In my work with climate data, scientists in my cohort are instructing caution that many (linear) models are incorrect, and those are the figures you quote (1cm/year sea-level rise). However, not only have past sea-level rise projections been incorrectly low(1), but tropical storms/hurricanes have become measurably more frequent, more powerful, and slower(2), which also causes increased flooding. So, even if your beachfront property is not at increased risk from sea level rise, there is an increased risk of flooding and storm-surge exposure (in some places).

When I was attempting to establish historical storm trends for the Florida Keys in the early 18th century (for an archaeological study), one colleague suggested I not use post-2004 data, because the warming of the oceans was skewing everything from mean wind directions to the number of hurricanes to the current patterns. The costs associated with beachfront property are also rising, due to the insurance industry's discomfort with the risks and the additional maintenance costs(3). Even the US's National Flood Insurance Program is increasing the charges of its subsidized coastal insurance products(4), because private industry deems many coastal properties uninsurable.

So, I gotta ask: On what data are you basing your opinions?

Firefox may be there, but is it the ESR version and is that up to date? OpenBSD does not seem to update ports for the -release branch, so that doesn't really work for me as I want the latest security fixes from the browser vendor.

Same goes for Chromium. I don't mind missing features. What I do mind is being behind on security patches.

What's the point of using OpenBSD (which is security focused) as a workstation when I can just be pwned by the latest browser bug?
Can I just buy BAT with cash and never ever see ads?
In some ways, this looks promising: Maybe in a few years, they'll be supporting many more countries and payment providers. I'm not overly skeptical about Brave being able to become a viable alternative to my current go-to browsers either — though I hope Safari and Firefox will keep ramping up privacy-protecting features, and I think for the purpose of getting Brave Rewards to critical mass, it would be best to provide plug-ins for integrating that functionality with other browsers as well.

But I see one big problem: For a significant amount of media, a browser isn't the most desirable content delivery mechanism. Take Youtube, for example. The web site is great on PC, but on mobile, the native apps are much better. There's no way those will add support for Brave Rewards, and the chances of the browser-based version catching up don't look so good either. Similarly, there's music streaming, podcasts, F2P games …

I don't want to be in a situation where I have to choose between accessing content in the way I prefer and jumping though hoops for the sake of shuffling those precious BATs around.

Equating the value I'd assign to a creator's work with the time I spend on perusing it seems quite iffy, too.

Meanwhile, Patreon already has most of these issues solved; in a super simple way.

I used to be interested in Brave because of their pro-privacy stance. The more I think about that BAT stuff, the less attractive I find the entire project. I can give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they're idealists striving to build an ecosystem where everyone can help to create valuable on-line content, rather than entrepreneurs trying to syphon a portion of existing revenue streams into their accounts. But then I'm inclined to question their competence.

The question I was answering was: "How do you guys network with the right business people to speak their language and find out how their processes work?"

I don't think "just ask" is misleading at all. The fact that most people will happily complain about their business processes but won't have ideas to solve them doesn't make it "tricky", it makes it an opportunity.

There might be fields of endeavor where identifying solvable problems is incredibly hard, maybe in academia or politics, but business processes? Execution and, if you want to get rich, scaling up are hard. But identifying solvable problems with people's business processes is totally one of the "easiest [things] in the world".

Using basic K8S resource files requires a lot of duplication, when using Kustomize or Helm isn't supposed to be that difficult to create an abstraction so that you can adopt you templates for multiple environments/purposes and inputs. With library charts in Helm 3, this should help even more to create a list of standard services or dependencies within your template files that can be quickly adopted throughout the organization. Once you have a few templates, then they can be quickly adopted.

> stopped at all cost

Including the cost of, say, being intolerant of intolerance of intolerance?

AFAIK, one of the major reasons to be intolerant of intolerance is to prevent lynchings.
The reason this is the case, is that one of the biggest gaps in the market is not the technology itself (most of this is open source or variations there of) but of proprietary data sets. This is valuable when transformed (as my company does at www.edgecase.ai ) to annotated data. What we see is that companies that a) invest in acquiring data and b) transforming said data and c) building a model that is useful to customers (and acquires their data) is the way of the future.

"Ai with unique datasets is an amazing moat"

So in sum:

1) in some cases this is true (but most of the time there is no unique data)
2) if they truly have unique data this is something to take notice of.
Scientists should be sophisticated computer users who understand the GIGO (garbage-in, gabrage-out) principle; that's what should put them on guard with regard to any manner of massaging their data.
The online copy is... GitHub itself. Which is current and up-to-date, and you can continue to remove your data from. The 2020 snapshot is useful historically... like a time capsule. There's no reason to invest the resources in keeping it online. And if it was online, it would have major regulatory problems, such as GDPR.

So there's a lot of reason to believe the 2020 snapshot won't also be online.

Man that's rough. You're right, my content is way not worth that.

It's odd to me though. I could pay for content I care about at an amount far smaller than $200/m, and the content creators would make more from me I imagine.

Why the extreme overhead? There's no way some blogger is making $200/m off of a handful of clicks from me. I'd be shocked if they made $5/m directly from me.

So where is the disconnect?

(sidenote, i understand the $200/m figure was not for a single blogger. But, lets pretend that blogger was all of my traffic for the month. I still can't imagine it's even remotely close to $200/m)

That really isn't an argument worth taking seriously. Much of the web would be fine. Another chunk of it would have to shift more toward existing revenue sources. And some would have to develop new revenue sources.

The only thing that would be particularly at risk is stuff funded exclusively with display ads, but where users don't care enough about it to support it. Or, put differently, we'd lose sites that people don't like much, but that survive through manipulating people into buying things. Doesn't sound like much of a loss to me.

When the Tivo was new, it was argued that it would destroy television, because people could now skip ads. 20 years later, TV is doing better than ever as a medium. Why? Because a lot of us are now paying directly for the things we like. I think the same thing would happen with the web.
I assume main reason for this is MS wanting to datamine the succulent mobile market via app.

The final point you made, where you stated:

> Note that I am using browser extensions, like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger, but I'm only doing so for privacy reasons.

is, I think, very relevant to the entire discussion. With the way browsers work, and the way the web works, blocking ads is well "within" the allowed scope of the internet. I, you, we never explicitly consented to browser tracking. It was created when there were no rules. After it had been happening for a very long time, it was added to large TOS & Privacy agreements, and by then, was so ubiquitous that we had no where else to go.

Publishers have power over you to put ads in their pages and track you across the internet. I have a problem with both the quality of those ads and the method in which they are delivered. I still have some power over whether or not I see ads, so I chose to exercise it.

Slightly larger anecdata then: I have a group chat with some friends where we were discussing the 16" MBP announcement this morning. One computer out of six has (so far) gotten by with a reliably performing keyboard.

Some of the others haven't gotten bad enough to deal with shipping them off for repair, but that doesn't mean they're working acceptably.

But I'll concede it's possible that this all a coincidence and we're a very unlucky sample. There's probably not a good source of hard numbers, since Apple only know about the ones who were able to deal with getting it repaired. I read that they're trying to do next-day turnaround for in-store keyboard replacements now, but not all of us live anywhere near an Apple Store.

For another point of reference, a poll from Basecamp: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-macbook-keyboard-fiasco-is-su...

Specifically take note of the 2018 numbers. 6 of 13 keyboards having problem, and if every single one of those was purchased the day the 2018 model was released, they're a maximum of 10 months old when the poll was taken. Many of them are likely newer than that. 6 out of 13 in less than a year. Even if there's a biased sample in who responded to this, that's a lot of bad keyboards.

Anyway, I’m glad to see a new keyboard design, and if I seem salty about it that’s because I’m personally annoyed at my 2016’s keyboard and all Apple can do about it is replace it with another of the same keyboard that will probably fail in the same way again.

EDIT - corrected my group figures. One person has a working keyboard. And for what it's worth, another person who works in IT hasn't seen an overwhelming failure rate in their office (knock on wood, he notes). But most them are using external keyboards for data entry (with numpads), so the internal keys aren’t used heavily.

His own MBP is counted among the failed ones though.

Better provenance is the way to guard against fakes.

For video and audio, I imagine a combination of hardware signing, perhaps with the camera itself living on an isolated, Secure Enclave-like chip, and sending hashes of (incoming images/video * deviceID * trustedTimestamp) to a blockchain or some other public distributed ledger. Getting the timestamp from a service that keeps its own record adds further security.

This obviously requires an internet connection, and would likely be useful mostly for news and government agencies, law enforcement. But if the culture is affected enough by deepfakes, I can imagine it becoming more ubiquitous. The parts are all there, it’s a question of utility.

If they aren't, then the price remains unchanged, advertisers drop out of the market for BAT, and fewer ads are served. Again, you reach equilibrium, except that people who do not feel the current price of BAT is worth their attention don't have to put up with ads, marginal advertisers who get little value out of the advertising don't run them, and Brave makes less money. This also creates incentives on Brave to ensure that their advertisements are targeted effectively (so advertisers are willing to pay more), that they're unobtrusive (so users are willing to put up with more), and that the market for BAT is efficient (so value isn't lost in transaction costs).

Markets and negative feedback mechanisms are extremely powerful things. Most of the things wrong with the modern corporate economy can be traced back to markets being replaced by hierarchical organizations with positive feedback mechanisms (eg. corporations having more money with which to buy up competitors, which leads to increased pricing power, which leads to more money to buy up more competitors; or increased lobbying spending leading to favorable regulations, which keeps competitors out, which raises prices, which leads to more money for lobbyists).
I also don't like Helm for these and more reasons, and thus I often have the wrong personal incentives to point out that the yaml indentation issue can be solved in a trivial way: yaml 1.2 is (for all practical purposes) a superset of JSON, thus all you have to do when you emit a bit of yaml from a template is to pipe it through the "to json" function and the resulting string is valid YAML yet independent of the indentation of the insertion point.
Thanks for linking to the real data. Why does everyone call themselves a "cis", though?
I would like to see this for other fields. It seems as if few really understand how the other half lives, which is a general cause for confusion, and the unwarranted animosity that can arise from it, in society.

You could also apply the principle to diets: I feel as if weight management is so difficult for so many because they have no real idea of what their meal frequency and portion size are in the grand scheme.

In fact, can anyone think of any examples of issues that affect most of the population, wherein lack of general knowledge of the spread of circumstances leads to more amenable outcomes, individually or overall?

Weird to watch how long it takes to load a single site using their demo video. Makes me think that they are using some type of preloading, which would mean that your web requests are actually being sent to Brave. It appears after some brief research that they are infact precaching, and the other browsers they are testing against we don't have any details on their configuration but can clearly see that they do not have uBlock Origin enabled. I wouldn't consider this a fair test.
I highly suggest giving Helm 3 a try, as much of the release ledger system was overhauled. If you can provide links to the issues you're seeing, that's always helpful too.

Well, a language model is supposed to model the way that language works, not the way that language is used.

It might be a subtle difference, but "My mom is a doctor" is as correct grammatically as "My dad is a doctor". If a language model is assigning a much lower probability to the former, then it's modelling language _use_ but not language _structure_.

So it's not doing the job it's supposed to be doing.
I preferred the Flattr model, of just paying the content creators directly without the ad middle ground. I don't really see why I should use Brave over something like Firefox with uBlock Origin.

I actually drop people on Patreon when they start adding ads or sponsors into their podcasts or videos. I would rather people be fully supported by their fans instead of double dipping into both fan support and adverts.
RAM and HD are still soldered down, which means you have to decide up front how much you want and you have to pay the 3x-4x Apple markup on both. These are both dealbreakers for me, and the continuing inadequate port situation just seals the deal. It's a no.
Honestly, why wouldn't GitHub build a PWA version so the offline experience is fantastic. In fact, that's how Linus built Git. The saga is building app after app is getting ridiculous.
