I may be off base here but this sounds an awful lot like perfect being the enemy of the good. Or, framed another way, idealism being the enemy of the pragmatic.

Waxing poetic about everyday tragedy is all well and good as a rhetorical device. However, it doesn't really do anything except to sow the seeds of division now does it? Especially when you cap the whole bit with the idea that it is thought that is wrong and not action.

And your proposed solution to this is effectively a paradigm shift in the perception of human value?

Even Object.toString could do this using reflection. If you're worried about the performance, override it. I never understood why this is not the case (doesn't Haskell do something similar?).
I absolutely assign lots of blame to Democrats and I was one of the few who were protesting Obama in support of the DREAM Act and against his high rate of deportation.
I was going to play devils advocate until your edit of having the paid app (i didn't download it)

This is in essence no longer something that's just a cool idea and a nice novelty, it's why streaming companies and creators especially complain about losing revenue.. OP is taking what I would prefer to go to creators.
Seems like a case could be made for treating DRM like cell phone carrier locking. Legislation could be passed to permit DRM only for the first 12-24 months of a games life post release and require developers to provide patches that remove said protections thereafter.
Puts are short term, not long term. I agree that boeing will not be allowed to fail. Let's assume that it gets that bad. At what valuation will the company in the immediate wake of a bailout? 125% of current value? Or 75% of its current value?
Came here to mention Kambo as it was my first thought too. (Kambo has been used to treat lyme disease, as well. I doubt there have been any official studies unfortunately).

Also, one doesn't _need_ to use saliva, that's usually only done due to lack of clean water in the amazon (Source: am an IAKP certified practitioner)
>>Before income tax, nobody had any idea about who was making what.

That's precisely why the income tax is socially harmful. It forces people to divulge intimate personal information to the state, under pain of imprisonment. It's nothing less than warrantless mass surveillance.

The government having this much information on people creates an information asymmetry in society that makes the state incomparably powerful relative to private citizens. This manifests as trends like the suburbs of Washington, DC being the wealthiest in the US, and seeing the most income growth in the US over the last 40 years.
Fair question. Of course I'd be against you following me around with your phone - but my Ring is pointed in my own front yard and walkway. A moving camera is different than a static one. I don't see how that's considered the same thing.

And my Ring will only start recording if someone is on my front porch (I have the range turned all the way down, with only the central zone recording [out of left/right/center]).

I don't know why that's invasive towards anyone who isn't trying to steal packages off my front porch. You won't show up on a recording unless you're on my property.

Maybe it's worth pointing out that I live in the suburbs and have a large front yard - I do understand your point for someone in an urban area who would theoretically be recording near-constantly as people walk by. But in this case, no one's showing up who isn't in my yard.
I would so love this. It seems like it shouldn't be too much to ask to spend 50% more and actually get an armrest and a seat that doesn't make my tailbone numb after a few hours. In percentage terms, it's not a lot of space. If a couple inches for an armrest is to wide to fit in an existing plane in a 3+3 config, maybe they should plan better for the next generation of planes.

Yeah, this is sort of confusing to me. I know that B2B/SAAS is a preferred model for VC these days, but I'm sort of baffled that you wouldn't just take the tech that's been developed (assuming it works) and just integrate it with your own e-comm platform. Like, couldn't something be bootstrapped here? Maybe add a subscription/service model to create revenue?

In my opinion, the article is wrong. Yes, if you get a mac with activation lock enabled, from someone who is not the person who can disable it, YOU are wrong.
Recyclers etc should simply educate their staff to ask and validate that activation lock/find my is disabled.

Here in .nl when you go to trade in your used phone, they ask, they check, and they tell you how to do it (they go all the way though the process until the step where you have to confirm, and they let the soon-to-be-ex-owner confirm the reset) before they even accept the phone.
The person who wrote the article should stop blaming the wrong party in this 'problem'. It's not up to apple to unlock (or create a backdoor that will render the feature worthless) the devices, but the party that accepts the devices for recycling/resale.
Some people would prefer not to listen to podcasts at all, if they had to listen to ads.
275 comments and nobody mentions that AMP is no longer a Google technology, but a Linux Foundation project? Is that good or bad news that nobody seems to notice?

Well, Google is probably one of the bigger sources of income for the LF, and the LF does not say no to money.

Technically AMP is a project in the OpenJS foundation, one of the dozens of foundations the LF is spawning of. Managed by Robin Ginn ex Microsoft. Good at driving the interests of the strongest if at anything.
The app has a list of the dozen podcast it works with. It doesn't work with any other. That alone should tell you the app simply identifies some sort of jingle or pattern. Or these are the podcasts that OP is willing to manually tag as each episode is released.
I think the main benefit of Blazor (server side) is that it's very easy to write SPAs with it. This is great for incompany apps that don't have a lot of traffic (Blazor can be difficult to scale).

You bind your backend to your frontend and SignalR communicates all changes.

But there are some things you should be aware of. Because the frondend and backend are integrated it's very easy to 'leak' your data layer to the frontend. Always use viewmodels.
Podcast ads have a much more insidious problem in that they perpetuate and encourage a disingenuous, lie-for-dollars[1] culture. Hearing podcasters gushing about products that just so happen to sponsor their podcast is exactly what advertisers are paying for -- that it's "genuine" and someone who you theoretically trust is pitching whatever they're selling -- and it's just incredibly greasy and distasteful. It is the lowest form of sponsorship.

When I see ads on the NYTimes I know they're just whoever paid for the space. It isn't the NYTimes claiming to have curated the best of the best and they're only showing you the greatest products and this just happens to be The Best pickup truck out there, etc. Eh.

[1] - Every podcaster is going to claim that no, it's really what they think, what a marvelous coincidence. It's amazing what someone will "think" when their paycheque relies upon it.
Troff: The Text Processor for Typesetters (2006)
As I replied to someone else in this thread branch, the threshold for entering the 1%, at least in terms of income, is nearly $330K a year annually. The plain reading of your last sentence is that about 30% of people make that at some point in your life, which... doesn't strike me as very plausible.

Are you talking about net worth instead? That's still an argument that 30% of people have over $10M in assets (in 2019 dollars) at some point in their lives, and that... also strikes me as a stretch, honestly.
Sure, in fact I'd welcome an underground freeway through SF.
same with ads.
Podcast ads suffer from the same issue as most other ads, which is that they're primarily lies intended to manipulate your emotions and influence you to act in ways that are against your self interest.
Ultrafast quantum simulations: a new twist to an old approach
AOC taking Amazon away from NYC did not help neither these workers nor NYC citizens.
It would indeed be really interesting to understand how the court was able to rationalize that; INA is pretty explicit. In any case, I doubt typical "illegal immigration" can be meaningfully described as "fleeing persecution", and I say that with an abundance of sympathy for those garden variety illegal immigrants.

This sounds kind of like what Microsoft did with UAC in Windows Vista. As I recall, it was a terrible experience and everybody hated it. Seems like the trouble is that the huge installed base of applications have no accommodations for anything like that, which makes it awful to try to impose stricter permission requirements now.

Even imagining how is kind of tough. How do you let some Python scripts, but not others, access certain directories, like the ones with your SSH keys? It would have to be built into Python, which may mean major changes to tons of packages. Ditto Ruby, NodeJS, Perl, PHP, and every other interpreted language out there. And how do you develop compiled applications in such an env? Suppose every new build would have to be signed with the expected permissions. But how would you let one internal package access a dir, but not some other one? More internal permission systems I guess?
Earthquakes, chickens, and bugs, oh my – News
People aren't necessarily asking for a business. They're asking for a business model: a way, maybe untested, maybe lightly tested, that you might earn more than you spend. Just needs to be semi-plausible, doesn't need to be bulletproof.
I believe you're imagining a scenario where there isn't much of a skill gap, e.g. a match between a newbie and a competent amateur; a competent amateur and a professional; or a professional and a grandmaster. Losing to someone who's still "within your sight" can still be fun, because there's still an element of challenge to the game, and there are still stakes—i.e. you can still control how badly you lose, and therefore there's still something to strive for (to lose by a smaller margin.)

But when your level of skill gap with another player is too large, such that you won't learn anything by playing them and the entire match will be under their control 100% of the time, then there really isn't any point in playing them, and you'd be far better off—both for your enjoyment, and for your growth—to play against a weaker player.

It might be fun to have a sprinting match against your local state champion. It might even be fun to have a sprinting match against Usain Bolt. But there's no point to having a hypothetical sprinting match against The Flash. You wouldn't even leave the starting line before he crosses the finish line. There's no gradation of success available to you. You're simply crushed.

Likewise, there's no point, if you're a five-year-old, to trying to (seriously) arm-wrestle an adult. Your undeveloped strength will be overwhelmed without accomplishing the slightest movement of the opponent's arm, right at the beginning of the match, every time. You won't even get to practice the skill or build the muscles involved in arm-wrestling.
It's weird how now Ring requires having to add a valid address/location for the doorbell, I remember first configuring it 2 years ago when I didn't have to add an address. Anyway, so I went and typed the name of a nearby large boulevard and selected the first suggested address. Then I started getting all those stupid neighborhood notifications because people are paranoid and report "someone walking on the sidewalk" as suspicious, so I went and editing the neighborhood range around the address to be as small as possible (I was able to zoom in to house level size), now it blissfully stopped sending any notifications.

I wish more people gave it crappy information/address.
If there's a way to bypass it, it will be used. By the authorized recyclers as well as the thieves (including government agencies).
I dont own a trinitron, but own a huge and heavy crt for my snes gaming needs. It was free at a garage sale.
I feel like you're missing what 'shot on iPhone' is trying to convey. The point of the campaign is that the iPhone camera is good enough to be used in a professional shoot, not that it automatically makes high production-value commercials on its own. A RED camera would be 'purpose-built tooling' but would still require all the same production as using the iPhone camera.
Also, the VAIO line of laptops, while stylish, came to me to represent a total lack of support or interest in the customer aside from selling them a cool-looking machine.

Maybe it's related to the root-kit DRM, etc -- on looking back, maybe this reflected a mismatch of a company culture that was stuck in the hardware-focused customer experience (and where careful thought ended with the hardware), while the software was some add-on nuisance that would work itself out.
Two of my coworkers in the room with me right now have had their phones stolen. I know that's just as anecdotal as your story, but I assure you that phones are stolen. Less so now that activation lock ruins much of their value, thankfully.
If there is a policy, it will be abused.

Someone on Wikipedia decided to block a whole /16 from which my IPv4 address is issued under the pretence of an open proxy.

Open proxies are prohibited on Wikipedia. It's allowed to block up to /16, but time must be limited, and it's generally discouraged to block so much space in the first place. So, someone just decided to block the whole space, because they could, even though the space has little to do with open proxies.
I think this is wrong morally.
I am not sure what you were responding to, but my "Nothing new here" comment was directly referring to the OP's statement that read:

>Nice, I see we're entering the new era of us surveillance.

(Emphasis mine)

So I just said it's not new.

That's all.

I apologize profusely for coming off as smugly unkind!
Keep your cameras on an isolated VLAN with no Internet access. Backdoors are irrelevant if there's no way to get to them.
But anybody (Bing, Yahoo, etc) can "insert themselves in the URL" if they decide to cache the AMP content. In fact they could also cache non-AMP pages if they wanted. This isn't a problem created by AMP in and of itself.

You can't even make the argument that AMP degrades privacy, because regardless of whether you click an AMP link or a non-AMP link in the search results, in both cases many search engines will ping back or use a redirect through a search engine-controlled domain, so they will be aware of the URL you click anyway, AMP or non-AMP.
You really think Airbus will never prioritise profit over increasing safety? And if so do you think that Airbus planes are 100% safe?
That sounds like you blame Democrats who don't entirely agree with you.

But how much do you blame the far-left Democrats, who want exactly the same open borders policy you want, for the predicable consequences of their policy of defunding ICE?

And if these activists succeed in blocking ICE's contract with GitHub, and that causes even worse conditions, will you also blame these activists for that?
My problem with podcast ads is how repetitive they are. I'm at a point where I hate squarespace so much because nearly every podcast I listen to is sponsored by them. Same goes for Simplisafe and ZipRecruiter. It's extremely tiring and I would consider this app for automating skipping of ads because of this reason.
The phrase you're looking for to poke into a search engine is "capability-based security": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security

It's a long, kinda story, which I'm not intimately familiar with, but seems to boil down to, it's more effort than we're willing to spend on rebooting our entire computing infrastructure. (Lots of things that could improve computing have that problem. "Rebooting our entire computing infrastructure" is a boil-the-ocean problem now.)
Bad video title...You don't trip on Kambo. It doesn't contain any tryptamines and is 100% legal. You wouldn't want to smoke it

The bufo alvarius toad, however, contains 5-MeO-DMT (and a few other molecules). (And the only safe way to use that is to vape the excretion)
Yes, one is much nicer, as I can achieve it with no ongoing effort without being so rich I can afford to pay someone else to do it for me. When tech lets me preserve my time and attention in exchange for little or no money, while doing the same without it would only be feasible for the very rich, is when it makes me the happiest.
New crypto-cracking record reached, with less help than usual from Moore’s Law
And the relevance of your example is...?

Hormonal differences are known to cause a host of physical differences between the genders, a host of behavioral differences (have you read the research on what testosterone does?), and a tremendous amount of mental differences in other species. But political correctness causes us to reject out of hand the idea that biology could cause modest differences in average mental abilities and interests in homo sapiens.

There is no question that a few decades ago people casually accepted conclusions about gender differences that we today recognize are fallacious. But the current consensus is an absurd overreaction.

Yeah you have to be lucky and get the assignment to do the photography for the desktop backgrounds for Microsoft OSes and such.

Fair & common argument. One would be hard to find electronics without some China influence in their build process though.

Many would suggest to keep your cameras from accessing the internet or anything but your Blue Iris server. This sounds like a fairly common practice.
Where? Can you give an example?
Then they can do that. It's pretty simple to do.

You just decide the transaction isn't worth it, and then not execute the transaction. I do it whenever I decide not to buy a Tesla.

Edit: meant to say I regularly don't buy a Tesla, not regularly do. College student, definitely couldn't afford one
I'm guessing they just haven't thought about how much a camera on their door tells others about them. How often they come and go, what they wear, who they are with, how often they order food, the age/race/sex of every person living there, etc. It's a massive look at their lives just as much as a camera in their living room would be.
And now suddenly (looking at a lot of the comments here) ad-blocking is about privacy? I simply don't want to see/hear crap, period.
'You can surrender all of your liberties, and not actually end up any safer."

You mean giving up my ability to defend myself with a gun (many want to remove the rights of law abiding citizens) or use a camera to catch potential criminals (what you are proposing here in your comments)?

Like I said, I have cameras in my house and have already prevented at least a couple of crimes. It has made me safer for sure.

"well that all feels like doing something. Of course, it's not really, it's theater."

We haven't had a major attack in the US since 9/11. It's really almost impossible to prove what someone would have done without the security and decided against it.
No, what's going to happen is that this will kill independent podcasting and make it unsustainable to run a podcast without agreements with Spotify or Apple or someone.
The user agent string has mostly been used to lie about the source of a request: https://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/
To be precise, it's explicitly 2pi R^2 ( 1 - cos(r / R) ) , where r is the radius of the circle on the sphere, and R is the radius of the sphere itself.

If r is small compared to R, cos(r / R) = 1 - (r/R)^2 / 2 + O((r/R)^4) so we recover the usual flat circle formula for the area pi r^2 , which is quadratic in r. Only if the r gets comparable to R does the curve flatten.

So a circular area with radius 1000 km would only be 0.2% smaller on Earth than its flat equivalent. Not a useful way to prove the Earth is round.

Nice photos but they are very "run of the mill". I can probably find thousands of "snowy mountains" pics, many of them with a free license.
There are a ton of two-sided marketplaces out there that try to do this. It's a messy challenge involving rights management (no good photographer will agree to the contracts these companies offer), production workflows (all companies do it differently) and assignment complexities (by 'high-quality' you mean 'high-quality and custom to the project' because a nice but generic picture is mostly useless).

But you're right in that free photos like the ones from Unsplash are super expensive in the long run because of the search ranking penalty (you get grouped with all the spammers who are using those same free photos).
unthetical
You're conflating things, imagine that billboard was not on the wall and instead it jumped in front of you on the way home.

Imagine the advertisement was not on TV but it was ringing your doorbell.

An option is ethical, one when you replace someone else's work is not. (i don't like advertisement thrown in my face either).

As much as I hate the clever marketing tactics that happen, I wouldn't want them to have one more excuse to invade me more.

This seems like one of them
