There's no reward. It's a risk/cost tradeoff.
Unless you want a box that costs way too much money, the Bollinger B1 just seems silly. It's the Hummer H1 of EVs... in fact it's so heavy it legally isn't mandated to have airbags.

If that old-school minimalist aesthetic really appeals to you, more power to you... but it definitely doesn't seem to be meant for the majority of folks.
What I currently do is block on /etc/hosts. But like the OP says I don't actually want to perma block these sites, I do get real value out of them maybe 5 minutes a day. It just needs to not turn into 20 minutes. But you can use /etc/hosts perhaps if you really want a less easily turned off block.
It's pretty annoying for people on devices without unlimited data
That's the hype.

Remember react is in it's own ecosystem with their own language/acceptable approaches. The framework will allow you to do more than the community so you need to align how you write with what is acceptable. Last year the might mean classes this year hooks. React is more of a religion or a way of life compared to other frameworks.

Because of this there is a moat around react if you are looking to be hired. You need to stay upto date and involve yourself with the community. You can easily dip your toe in react and the coding is simple. The ecosystem is where the complexity lives and this is as important to understand/accept if you plan on moving into it.

Vue is more like jQuery when it came out. It immediately makes sense with what you have been doing and allows you to use as much or as little as you want.

I think react is great for someone who knows nothing (it provides a community / approach) or for someone who knows too much (those who pushed angularjs too far and got burned) but for the masses in the middle it demands you forget much of what you know works to accept this new way of life. It's too much for many. This is where Vue shines, it allows you to build in whatever way you want which allows you to leverage what you already know.

Point is they are doing it. Tesla does it. Apple does it. Microsoft does it. They are all developing their on hardware, and it's paying off, especially in Apple's and Tesla's use case. Research and development is the cornerstone of new innovation. Who cares if it's new tech. Not sure what you mean by "unfinished". They have a product that works. It's new and could use improvements, but Point is, they are doing it and winning. We can't sit around and wait for Ford and GMC, but these guys are being ran by dinosaurs. Stuck in the stone age, waiting for ICE to make a comeback. Here's the crutch of it all, ICE is pretty much out, with the old waterfall model, dead, old tech, EV is far more simple and a heck of a lot better. This whole ICE mentality where you release a car and it's "complete", has to go. This is why we have 'recalls'. Your car should continue to receive updates and improve as you drive it off the lot. Security updates are necessary, UI updates are necessary, performance and economy updates are necessary.
I'd guess you would only have to spoof the REFERER.

But I might be wrong.
New York state changed their laws on January 1, 2020, to alter the previous practice where the government only had to provide the evidence they had to defense lawyers on the day of the trial, and only if specifically requested by the defense.

The majority of people in jail in New York right now, today, had to accept/reject plea deals without seeing any of the governmental evidence against them.

It is to be hoped that the future of NY's justice system will be much fairer, but police unions are fighting hard against the new changes and they may well be repealed.

I think you're misunderstanding the threat model. It's designed to protect unsophisticated investors from fraudsters, not from the investors themselves.
Jeff Bezos announces $10B fund to fight climate change on Instagram
Google wants to protect the people paying them, ie the advertisers. They don't care as much about content creators etc.
When I learnt Dutch is came is a surprise that ‘opgewonde’ does not mean excited.

I told many an executive at KPN that I was opgewonde to work on their project. :)
Woah watch out there. I have never seen a 'coin offering' that was remotely like buying an investment in a business, certainly not "just like".

Instead, they have mountains of fine print that with extraordinary care make sure the recipient has absolutely no property right in the business, no claim to any title, no voting rights, usually no rights to share in profits, etc.

If you wanted to liken them to something offline, they're structured more like making a donation and getting a limited edition t-shirt in return. Maybe with some vague suggestion, but no guarantee, that the t-shirt may entitle you to discounted services in the future should the business actually begin operations.

And this is before getting into the fact that a great many of them are essentially outright scams.

The fact that many people are thinking that ICOs are "just like buying an investment in a small business"-- is a great example of how the SEC is pretty much flat out failing at this part of their job.
What advantages are you looking to get for a super stripped down EV? Less potential maintenance cost? Cheaper?

It's pretty clear for more car buyers the market has spoken and folks want more infotainment/screens/AI/whatever, so it seems that type of vehicle is definitely going to become less and less common.

How is perception affected by not-paying suspect accounts but not banning them either? The public doesn't see the clickfraud
Why does Instagram touch my browser history and prevent me from using the back button in my browser? Aren't they a big enough website to avoid resorting to such anti-consumer tactics?
I may be mis-communicating what I am trying to say.

I once had the (mis)pleasure of dealing with some novice DBAs. There were instances in the data model where things were so recursively linked that one query would fan out to 200+ to actually return the set of meaningful data. As you might of imagined, this caused scaling issues when you started dealing with significant amount of data (hundreds of GB of data in the DB).

Eventually we brought in some pros and one of the first things they did was eliminate a number of overly recursive queries and duplicated some (not all) fields of data to speed up performance. We went from 1->200+ fanout in a typical query to 1->25-ish. The performance gains were insane.

Of course it violates the "don't repeat yourself" and to abstract linked (repetitive) data in a relational way. But sometimes this best practice can really be counter-productive in edge performance scenarios. But in general yeah, don't be repetitive, abstract your stuff, and keep it clean and easy to change globally if/when needed.
I wonder how the accuracy of polygraphs compares to that of psychological evaluations. Real science can still be too inaccurate to overcome reasonable doubt too.
DisplayPort and 4K
Just use Unix time everywhere.
Normally doing the former entails the latter anyway...
How do other ad networks deal with this?

Companies leaving the UK after brexit, UNEXPECTED!

One major difference is liquidity. Small business investments have almost none. You're going to be tied up for years, and may actually never be able to get out. If I screw up with TVIX, it's a couple of clicks.
If that's the case, why do Pattern Day Trader rules exist? They seem to generally cover "protecting you from yourself", not from some third-party.
I've been thinking on this for a few minutes, and I'm realizing I have no idea on what criteria YCombinator funds anymore. This seems like something the Pinboard Investment Co-Prosperity Cloud might have funded.

The extension looks cool (outside of it being proprietary) and it looks like you did a good job on it! I'm just trying to think of reasons as to why YC is trying to mimic Softbank. The only reason I can think of is that extensions occasionally get sold for thousands to malware vendors and the like, but that doesn't seem like something that would bring that much of a return, and seems too user-hostile to be something YC would bank on.
> A coin toss with little false negatives might be a good filter for a more annoying or expensive test.

Highly sensitive tests are great for this. They're usually cheap and quick. They have a low false positive rate so a negative result is likely to be correct.

Since they detect anything that even remotely looks like the targeted substance, they have a substantial false positive rate and a positive result must always be confirmed with specific tests. However, police forces seem to treat a positive result as sufficient cause for an arrest.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/12423006/

Without confirmation, false positive rates varied from 2 to 4 percent.

Thank you! If you have any further thoughts or some links I appreciate it.
Thanks for letting us know. Extensions for other browsers are in the works, and will be available soon.

That's a good point - making Facebook annoying to be on is a solution. We currently let you block elements like the newsfeed. As we ourselves found out, however, we want Facebook to be easy to use when we need to do legitimate work, and only block us when we aren't. Thus, we came up with a middleground.
“should confess now so they would go lightly on me.”

That’s how they get a lot of people to confess things they didn’t do. If you are poor and can’t afford a lawyer you will likely accept a wrong plea for a few years versus the threat of twenty years or more in prison. It’s a pretty bad system.
That's basically speculation.
IAB also wants things like safaris intelligent tracking prevention to be illegal.

In their ideal world every browser would be required to include a persistent unique per user ID.
There's not a tech solution, it's an education problem. As long as people believe the first thing some stranger says to them it will be a problem.
I wonder how many bit flips are to be expected on HDDs or in RAM for that amount of data.
It's wonderfully relevant because it takes you through the basics and those are all still the same. Their simulator software was already old when I went through the book a few years ago, but I'm sure it still works fine.
Most people who take unlimited-downside positions (like selling option contracts or short selling) on a broker will be limited to losing however much cash on hand they have in liquid markets. Their broker will issue a margin call (ask for further capital to be deposited to cover any further losses), and if no further deposit is made, will automatically liquidate their position if necessary. So you're unlikely to see your net worth wiped out, you'll simply lose the amount you put in to the account to trade with.
Congrats on shipping! I've just installed and I'm curious on how do you plan to monetize this extension (since it's free and doesn't collect the URLs of the sites visited).
my arch setup uses i3, it's not the only tiling wm but it's really nice, light and efficient.
Oh gosh! That reminds me of my childhood. I spent most of my time at home reading without many friends. I would win discussions with my teachers about science, philosophy and economics, but I always seemed like a fool when I tried to talk to my peers.
I wouldn't personally use a proprietary extension with access to every tab, but:

Extensions written for Chrome can be hand-ported to Firefox in the span of ten minutes, even if you don't have unminified source code. There used to be an extension that automatically did it, but I can't remember what it's called. WebExtensions are pretty neat!
Yes. This is heartbreaking. I flagged it because I’m not sure that this content is especially relevant. It seems like this post can only hurt
The Github Issue is worse. You don't handle schizophrenics by being rude to them.

Props to @tcrowe for the sound dissent.
I originally wrote very real potential for upside and weakened it by dropping the "very", specifically thinking about the drag on leveraged ETFs... :) Guess I didn't go far enough.

I feel like this is in the weeds though: some bad investments people get suckered into have extremely high and diversified risk of total loss, but at _best_ can only return a few percent in a year.

Not only are they negative EV, but even if you get lucky and it pays off you only end up with money market fund like income. Deals that no one who was informed and knew how to do the relevant math would ever take.
Has anyone had experience convincing friends who become delusional/paranoid to seek psychiatric care? Are there any strategies work?
@qiyuxuan96 Hi there. I am developing a cross-browser extension development/deployment SaaS. Would you be interested in hearing more?

We make life easier with things like:
- versioning,
- packaging extensions for different extension galleries,
- collecting payments,
- gathering analytics (extension views, installations etc.).

Ping me at niespodd@gmx.ch if interested.
IME that's more of a problem between Java and the generator than it is OpenAPI. Expressing things feels clunky when generating Java code in general. Which, I stress, is not to say it's not a problem, and it super sucks when you hit it.

The languages I tend to consume OpenAPI in the most are TypeScript (great), Ruby (pretty good), and on-demand JavaScript (really flexible and comfortable) via openapi-js. I've had some luck with the Kotlin generator on the JVM, too.
They let people with enough money be accredited investors on the idea that if you have enough money you won't be devastated if you are a victim of fraud.
The Artificial “Intelligence” Scam Is Imploding
Sounds okay to me. Seems like a minor deal.
Hmm, this is very interesting. Currently I use CodeRunner on my mac to do this kind of one-offs but I rarely save them. It's mainly an easily way for me to test out a theory on how some code will behave in an isolated environment. I would be interested in this if it could run itself inside a docker container as well so I could easily throw it on my NAS. I guess I could just run it in a VM but...
Just installed and this looks great. Good job on thinking it out more than other extensions.

Question unrelated to app, but to your experience: Why did options market making not work out?
I work in marketing. It's hard to anticipate the all the effects, but we have of yet no reason to be too concerned. Google is unclear on how it will affect the options of their advertisements, but we anticipate that however they implement the rules, their own network will come out on top, and we will have even less reason to use any other advertisement network (surprise, surprise).

I wonder if this will finally be the death of display advertising - the value is already insanely low. And for the most part we have moved on to other channels.
I would just use ISO-8601 everywhere. I would happily use it for ordinary life! But it's not always me who builds API.
I am certainly no fan of current advertising - it is fundamentally backwards from what is useful - the customer wants information on what would fufill their needs and desires and should shape the provider. Beyond sinple "this exists" advertising tries to shape their desire to the product. Unfortunately there isn't exactly even a good theory for a better information propagation mechanism for resource allocation let alone one in practice.

I wouldn't go so far to go zero sum with ad tech vs society. To be a smartass bathing the worls in nuclear fire would be bad for adtech and bad for society. Not to mention society is horrifyingly vague and exploitable. You can call the downfall of the Kim Jonh dynasty, the military, and the rise of a free and democratic North Korea/unified Korea the a destruction of a society.

Personally I suspect that critical analysis by default isn't used period and the issues of influencers far predate ad tech. One bit of accidental good they can engage in is building skepticism - a cure all claim is greeted with more incredulity today than in the old west.
They had a line in the post that explained that:

The extension is free at the moment. We plan on releasing for other browsers in the upcoming weeks. We plan on monetizing either through a premium tier with productivity tools built for power users or charging a very low amount from every user.

Pretty standard on many image boards nowadays. Though usually they would just call it .gif and it really is a mp4 or webm.
A possibly mentally ill man wrote a link to this github repo in public places in Manhattan. Repo definitely has that schizophrenic vibe. He has a few social media accounts in financial_info.txt including his bank account information.. Could be an art stunt or some prank.
Also worth keeping in mind: Every other launch system out there "Fails" to recover their first stage on every single launch. SpaceX "Failing" here is reverting to norm.

> How does "I might get extorted again by someone else" factor into this?

The value of the ad income may be more than paying the extortion when it happens once. That doesn't mean it's more when it happens more than once.
I ask this question out of more curiosity than skepticism, but how do the scientists in this article distinguish between stories that explain the 'appearance' of the volcano vs. the 'formation' of the volcano?

As a point of comparison, there are a lot of stories about how Paul Bunyan created various lakes, mountains, and valleys. These are clearly invented backstories for part of the existing landscape.

I can't find a retelling of the Budj Bim story - are there elements of the story that are qualitatively different from stories about Paul Bunyan?

Or is it more that the local population has been in place for 40k years so these stories could be that old?
Presumably much of the detection is probabilistic. Some algorithm notices a bunch odd traffic from Chile hitting a French website, clicking ads at a high rate, so it all gets tagged as fraudulent. But some of that traffic was probably real.

If the fraud rate is high enough, they likely can't pick out any real users anymore, as they get lost in the noise.

There's a section at the end where he talks about being arrested, and how he's been shoplifting food and doesn't want to be arrested again, and all the places he's been, without financial assistence or the ability to hold a job. So, it appears to be a very smart, very disturbed homeless guy who hitchhikes and somehow manages to keep a laptop on him.

Looks like he's around Union Square right now; maybe Fred Wilson could buy the guy a sandwich? Any homeless who mentions GANN (more or less correctly) is pretty special, in my book.
My guess based on context is that "FNP" refers to the indigenous people of Australia [maybe 'First Nations People?' -- however that term is more generally used in North America, to my knowledge], but that acronym isn't present in the article. Would you clarify for our benefit please?
With all of the improvements to static and run-time analysis that we see within compilers like -fsanitize, will it ever get to the point were tools like GDB become obsolete? It seems to me that as more work goes into this, it will become very hard for gdb/valgrind/... to compete with the full power/knowledge available to a compiler.
People keep telling it's not about brexit.

It is!

Before brexit N26 could keep doing business in the UK with an european banking license, even if growth was slower than ideal.

Now they cannot anymore, and have to apply for an expensive uk-only banking license.

If it was because of low market share, they would have quitted earlier.
In some places they have "fruit of the poisoned tree" -- there are clear rules for searches, and evidence obtained without using those means is not admissible in court.

It feels weird that law enforcement get just avoid all of that by training dogs to alert at a handler's signal.
Was about to post something similar. They might start with only a chrome extension though, while the big vision is much broader?

Or the value is being transferred out of the US and toward other countries, because you can't even start an ICO in the US unless you have the right connections.
yes, true. there has been progress on NLP SOTA, just not from graph NN architectures. I have thought about using graph NN's where I am currently using RNN's, but they seem fairly immature / difficult to train over very large datasets so have not made much progress.

I was following the work of https://www.octavian.ai/, but have not seen much recently. http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224w/info.html also looks interesting. looking briefly over the student projects, there appear to be a couple nlp projects (e.g. http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224w/project/26418192.pdf) but most leverage knowledge graph concepts.
C++ Unique_ptr
insights is MIT-licensed and built on JS/TypeScript with a node backend. That's really appealing as a user since it means there's no need to delve into another programming language or huddle with the lawyers to figure out our legal obligations if we make changes. Contrast with the alternatives:

- Metabase is AGPL and built on clojure, making it a hard pass on both counts

- redash and superset have friendlier licenses (bsd-2 and apache-2 respectively) but are built with Python.
what makes it complex is all those anti-features that they deny even do exist, LOL
I 100% don't trust that Google can handle this situation. I actually hope that this practice increases drastically so that Google will be forced to do something about this. Because right now, Google will just ignore the problem and let small publishers and ad purchasers suffer. There is no real customer support so it will happen little by little and nothing will change. Google needs a swift, firm kick in the ass to fix this otherwise they will ignore it completely.
