They are specifically suggesting that HTTP-only sites not be able to load from third party sites, which is quite a bit different than your interpretation of generally preventing any site from loading any external content. HTTPS ought to be the default and browsers can, and should, move towards that.

But to answer your question more directly, yes they clearly know what they are suggesting.
Since we're striving for accuracy here, usually they acquire public firms and "take them private".
Most competent contracting doesn't go for lowest-cost bidder. Rather, bids are generally scored for some metric, and a good contracting agency should additionally be evaluating the contractors to figure out if they actually are capable of performing their bid without cost overruns.

One of the contentions of Alon Levy [author of the blog in question] is that the primary reason for inexcusably high costs in the US is the hollowing out of agencies to the point that they can't do this sort of evaluation anymore.
[Disclaimer: I work at Cliqz]

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was personally trying to dig some information about this. An additional disclaimer: not a lawyer either.

Honestly, I have little idea of how this law affects search engines. What I can say is that we are no paying anything, as AFAIK we do not know anyone who is. Moreover, if some publisher would complain, even one in Burda, we would stop crawling by domain, there is no technical issue here, properties are known by the imprint. We have no say on what the investors do but I can assure you that we have no pressure. For instance, our ad-blocker works everywhere, regardless if the sites are from Burda or not.

On a general level, assuming that what you say is factually correct, I must personally agree that regulation is a bitch. It's typically designed fro big companies to control other big companies, but small ones get negatively affected if only because of the lack of resources. We recently had to suffer all the overhead of GDPR, which consumed a fair amount of our time, relatively we paid a higher price that Google.

Personally, I cannot respond for all the decisions made by the people funding Cliqz, I do not even think I can judge it either. They might be complaining and lobbying, no idea. But they are also putting good money to build a privacy-preserving search engine and a browser, something that no-one else is doing, so on my account they are on the positive side.

I'll plug [Prefab](https://github.com/neighborhoods/Prefab), the project I've been working on for the last year and a half that was recently open sourced. We use it to generate most of our HTTP backend services and it's been really successful. It makes it extremely easy to generate actors and the related machinery to expose them over HTTP.

Where can they go when all of the major social media companies share the same general ideology? This idea that social media networks are plug-and-play beggars belief. Or perhaps you simply meant that people who don't adhere to this ideology simply don't deserve to participate in social media; that it's a privilege and not a right?

I'm not trying to belittle anyone. Sometimes, I don't understand tribalism against Lisp syntax. I question its sincerity, probably because of my own indisposition towards Lisp that I carried for decades (without much rationale to support my skepticism).

I don’t see how this will ultimately be successful.

They’re basically reverse engineering Google by looking at user logs.

Google will always have a leg up here because they have all the Google data.

And even if it does work for a while, there still needs to be the original signal to copy. Someone will have to crawl the web and index content.

I’m super eager to find new approaches to search, but another Google clone is not that.

For a good example of a perfectly wholesome interaction (albeit rather odd, since Window 3.1 could run games, and Linux does not normally need 8GB of ram). But at least I now know that Half Life 3 will be enjoyable if it ever comes out:

The first thing you do is to download a program called "Windows 3.1" from the
Internet. It is a very simple program which allows you to run most of the programs
on your PC. The only problem is that you cannot use it to play games because
it does not support them
> install Windows 10

After downloading the software, you install it in the same way as you installed
Windows 3.1. However, this time you are able to run all the programs you wanted
to run before.

> install linux

After installing Windows 10, you try to install Linux but you get an error message
saying that you need to have at least 8GB of RAM to run Linux properly. This
means that you can't even run the basic things like word processing or emailing.
> buy more ram

You spend money on more ram so that you can run Linux properly. After spending
$200, you finally get Linux running properly.
> how much ram do i have?

You check your computer's memory and see that you have 32 GB of ram. You were
lucky enough to find some cheap ram online.

Yeah, I know.

They are called commissaries, not 'cloud kitchens', not 'ghost kitchens'. Commissaries are not new, they are used all the time in the restaurant industry. If you've had food from a food truck or caterer, then that food was likely prepared in a commissary.

Giving hip new names to old tech is not doing anyone a favor. Preparing food in a commissary is a sound, established business model. The idea doesn't need any fluff, delivering food prepared in a commissary, rather than a restaurant, makes perfect sense. The benefits are, lower real estate costs, shared labor, fewer stops for delivery personnel, and the ability to quickly change food offerings & experiment.

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this up. Although, this is not relevant in the context of the blog post, we are on that list by mistake. We do NOT collect any personal data in our browser: (more details e.g., here: https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-02/is-data-collection-evil.htm... and https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-03/human-web-collecting-data-i...) and we go a long way to make sure not even implicit indentifiers go through. We believe we ended up on that list for a bad Firefox experiment and we will reach out to the maintainers, make our case.

There is a widely popular web server in python that is a single file. I find it quite readable and it's well documented.

It helped me immensely on a few projects where there was no dependency management to speak of, or wasn't allowed to use external dependency. Copy a single file and done.

There's a difference between UBI and something like EITC, in that UBI applies to all adults, whether working or not, whereas EITC is explicitly targeted at people who are employed but do not make what one would consider a "living wage" based on their situation (number of kids, etc).

Depending on the structure of the rest of the tax system and on whether the UBI phases out or not, the effective marginal tax rates can also be quite different, though this part can be massaged to make the two options look identical, I suspect.

But the core of the difference is whether employment is explicitly encouraged (EITC) or not (UBI).

The opioid industry’s marketing machine
The industry was right back in 2015-2016. The gigactory was supposed to have capacity 150Gwh/year by now. This is what they called a mistake and a waste. The current gigafactory operates at less than 40Gwh/year (as of August 2019), which is the reasonable quote. And a darker interpretation of this is that Tesla knowingly deceived the state about the size in order to be granted more incentives with no intention of ever achieving this size.

Yeah, those two in particular have very different common groups of active bacteria, even though both are lactic acid fermentations, so even if one were trying to isolate a specific set of cultures' effects it's really difficult to get that specific. The same sauerkraut at two weeks of fermentation and at four weeks is going to have a very different spread of dominant bacteria, in addition to the amount of sugar that has been converted.

No single Nazi killed millions, most probably killed none. What enabled it all was considering people as second-class citizens first, then non-humans. Doing that, and just killing one person makes one like a Nazi. Looking away when people are being tortured and murdered today makes one exactly as someone who looked away during the Holocaust. Any differences are not to the credit of the perpetrators or the people looking away, but owed to the circumstances.

You don't need to inject scripts to make this sort of thing work. Just add img or style tags with the source set to the target you want to attack. The browser will happily go try to fetch the files from the server, adding to the request load.

You can see unintentional examples of this happening. Small sites get taken down occasionally when larger sites directly link to images or videos hosted there.

Administration can consume any amount of money, so long as it isn't getting in the way of the money coming in the door. Just look at universities in USA. They're not doing anything now they weren't doing in 1980, yet tuition inflation was 7% over for most of the period since then. Where did the money go? They hired more assistant administrators, to justify higher salaries for the top administrators. Also the perks are pretty nice.

I have plenty of respect for Daniel (and you can even find me below in this discussion defending some aspects of this test), but I too find some fault with this article.

The main problem I have is that the claim in dispute seems to be that Zen 2 has comparable (perhaps slightly higher) IPC to Skylake, and then Daniel picks out two benchmarks and shows that Skylake has higher IPC than Zen 2... proving what exactly?

Contradicting people who said that Zen 2 had a higher IPC on every benchmark? Yes, those people were wrong, but it's easy to prove a point if you pick an argument almost no one was making it in the first place.

In the same (second) benchmark that he selected the "basic_decoder" sub-benchmark, but there is also another benchmark "bogus" which tests the empty function calling time, and this case I measure a reversed scenario: Intel at IPC 2.25 and AMD at 3.43. So should we now say that Intel IPC is "quite poor"?
If only Hurd were usable.
He certainly does not revoke press credentials of journalists just for criticizing him. He did revoke the credentials of a single journalist who was apparently incapable of waiting his turn and repeatedly interrupted the press conference.

Absolutely amazing. If there is money to be rung out of the system, financiers will find it.

What will you get for the certificate? Well, you will get the certificate.
The output is slightly different, but the semantic behavior remains the same? Databases and applications update independently, so versioning is required.

I think this is what left/social leaning politicians should focus on. "Rich people bad" rhetoric of which Sanders is guilty as well gets old fast. Instead why not say: it shouldn't be possible to get rich by exploiting a monopoly or a resource that belongs to everyone (like natural resources). Focus on regulating away ways to get wealth by what many people from all sides of political spectrum consider unfair and your will get traction. Focus on "tax the guy 70% because he makes a lot of money" and you will be forever economically illiterate old man raging at the sky.
> What's the lower bound of complexity at which consciousness kicks in? What about supraorganisms such as insect hives? Human cities? An ecosystem as a whole?

There's also the question of the nodes and edges of the graph; does the complexity (or processing capability) of these have any effect on the complexity bounds?

That is - compare a neuron as the node (and the dendrites as the "edges") in the larger graph of the neural network that is the human brain. Each node and edge are relatively simple compared to the entire brain.

Now - what happens when that brain becomes the node (via a human) and the edges of the graph of interaction in society becomes the internet (social networking, email, etc)? Both are much more complex than the former - so do we need fewer nodes/edges to "kickstart consciousness"?

The problem of course is how can we (as individual nodes) perceive this consciousness? How could we ever query it? And - if we could query it - and it perceived us querying it - what would it do?

If for instance - you perceived one or more of your neurons suddenly say "Hey - I'm a neuron - can you talk to me? I want to know what you are thinking? Helloooo?" - what would you do?

Well - more than a few of us would probably head to the doctor in an attempt to either shut that neuron up or remove it or kill it or...you get the idea.

So - if we were to do the same thing...?

Most of this is standard Democratic boilerplate. It's how they have been trying to appeal to rural voters for at least the last decade. Obama ran on roughly the same plan in 2008. So did Hillary in 2016. Obama even brought it up during his debates with McCain.

Without Congress on board there's only so much you can do. Obama made some regulatory changes and shuffled some money around to get at this problem, but without a big pile of new money from Congress it's not going to do much.
It's really a way to exploit suckers who "want to run a restaurant". They're in an awful position in a shared kitchen. The landlord, wholesale food service provider, delivery service, and order flow source are the same. The "restaurant owner" is thus an gig worker, easily replaced.

The first "Doordash Kitchens" location is near me. It has rows of metal shelving where people come out of the non-visible kitchen and put packages on delivery racks, to be picked up by waiting drivers in their waiting room.

They're not quite organized enough for it to be a drive-through operation for the drivers. This works for Doordash because Doordash doesn't pay for driver waiting time. If the drivers were employees, which is probably happening in California next year, the next driver would take the next outgoing package, regardless of destination, to optimize driver utilization.
