A free-market solution would be to establish strict liability for the publishers and advertisers, regardless of intent. Establishing liability creates an incentive to manage the risk, and therefore establishes an insurance market. The insurance companies would gather additional information in order to price the insurance accordingly, including audits of the data brokers and determining risk factors of each data broker. Doing business with a disreputable data broker would then lead to higher insurance premiums. While this cost would larger be passed through to the purchaser (the companies purchasing adtime), the cost would be lower for advertisers that deal only with reputable data brokers and follow best practice, thus having a market advantage for well-behaved advertisers.

Granted, this relies on several levels of the efficient market hypothesis. At some point, it is more efficient to ban poor behavior than to introduce 3rd-order effects that slightly discourage poor behavior.

I'm not sure I understand your meaning. Are you referring to something different from property tax?
Second to the suggestion about accounting. For the general business side, try picking up some business framework books such as Traction/Get A Grip(EOS) or Good to Great or Scaling Up. They lay out challenges almost all businesses have and proposed frameworks to manage them.
You misunderstand the video. A LCD controller must buffer at least one line, because the LCD matrix is updated line for line, all columns in parallel -- it's a matrix, much like a RAM matrix. However, the video just shows how the LCD is scanned out, it doesn't say anything about the buffering of the controller. A lot of non-gaming LCDs, and virtually all older non-gaming LCDs, buffer an entire frame, even if they are driven in their native mode.

I'm guessing it's because they're seen as less distracting/invasive than the others while still getting the job done. Personally, I use parentheses and em-dashes a fair bit. But I do often find myself often going back and removing a number of them when I've overdone it.

Acxiom is one of the largest (and oldest, they started in the 1970s) data brokers in the world. I think they, like a lot of other creaky corporations, don't necessarily make things difficult on purpose but they...don't go out of their way to make the bureaucracy any more navigable than it has to be.

In other words, it's not a bug, it's an accidental feature.

Honestly, if you really wanted to do it, all you'd need is a single person in a car with a giant bag of seeds. How many could a single person plant in a week going for walks in conversation areas? What if you had 10 people or 100? Way more efficient than mailing the seeds out and hoping people plant them.
So in other words, it's an antonym to "senseless violence": as long as the perpetrator has a known agenda (whether implicitly or explicitly stated), it's terrorism?

Doesn't that also make things like war and police brutality terrorism?

Growing up in the US post-9/11, the word terrorism itself was very political. It was weaponized by successive presidential administrations as a catch-all term for "any person or group the government doesn't like" and repeated endlessly on news broadcasts and in other popular media. Terrorism is our only "justification" for holding people like Ramzi bin al-Shibh without trial for nearly 20 years.

The original meaning of the word was lost long ago in popular American discourse, and the state prefers it that way. We still see that today, as prominent American political figures label peaceful protesters terrorists.

Anyways, thanks for helping me chew through this. I'd never considered the meaning of the word closely before.
The author seems to claim that `irregardless' is all right and
that caring about it is caring too much and vain. He compares
it to other malformed words such as `television' and
`flammable'. But there seems to be a significant difference
between these and that. While recognizing the malformedness of
these words require knowledge of Greek and Latin, recognizing
that of `irregardless' is trivial for anyone who is proficient
in current English: it is obviously a stupid word, and that
makes it stupider.

Rephrase the above as "so you force people not to destroy the planet for their own immediate gratification" and it seems more reasonable.

Laws and treaties ended leaded gas, atmospheric nuclear testing, and markets for several industrial chemicals with global impacts. Future archeologists will be able to date these legal constructs by the concentration of these chemicals, or radioisotopes, and their effects, in layers of rock and soil.
Powering the DeFi Revolution with Radix
Spending money just so we can continue to spend what is already too much money burning oil, gas, and coal is not a plan at all unless you have an entity dumb enough to sink money in what is clearly a loss leading venture from day 1.

So, yes it could happen because the US government currently ticks that box already and lots of companies are benefiting from all sorts of subsidized programs to funnel tax money into the cause of destroying our planet as fast as we can. Basically, this would be a yet another tax funded effort benefiting big oil, much of the car industry, etc. It's so plausible because the same kind of things have been happening for decades already.

The question why anyone would pay for that kind of thing is indeed one that needs answering because the US seems to consistently end up with leadership actively promoting exactly these kind of things and there's an election coming up with a clear choice one way or another.

I'm at least a half-time professional writer and essentially all the writers I know are pro-Oxford comma--including ones who have to follow AP style for all or part of their day job.

And, again, to clarify AP a bit. AP doesn't say you can't use an Oxford comma but that you should only use it if the sentence could otherwise be misconstrued, e.g. the "We invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin" that Oxford comma fans like to cite.
Thank you for the feedback. We will certainly fix it.

Note that this convert

H2O, CO2, energy -> fuel

Water is free [1], Carbon Dioxide is free [2]. Energy is never free.

You need some big solar panels or a nuclear reactor to get the energy. (Can you put a wind turbine in a ship?) (The usual trick of burning fuel to produce energy is not a good idea here.) So this kind of process should not be interpreted as "water -> fuel" but like "energy -> fuel".

It can be useful to store energy for a while, or producing fuel using a nuclear reactor in the carrier and using the fuel in the planes. (I'm not sure that this is economical or tactically a good idea.)

If the idea is to produce the fuel on land, it is much more efficient to sell the energy and buy fuel. The energy you sell will cause a electric plant that use carbon to close and the net effect will be bigger reduction of the CO2 level.

From the article:

> Laboratory team led by Heather Willauer announced it had used a catalytic converter to extract carbon dioxide and hydrogen from seawater and then converted the gases into liquid hydrocarbons at a 92 percent efficiency rate.

I really doubt this. Organic reactions have a horrible low efficiency, specially the ones that create complex molecules using simple ones. (Perhaps the 92% efficiency is counting how many of the CO2 are converted, but the most important part of this reaction is the energy. If it convert the 92% of the CO2, but it stores only the 1% of the energy, it is very wasteful.)

[1] Processing water to avoid the problems with salt and tartar may be a big problem, so it may not be so easy.

[2] But the concentration is usually low, that is generally bad for fast and efficient reactions.

Trump won because Democrats did Bernie wrong not because Facebook displayed ads to people who were more likely to vote the way they did anyway. Democrats are always whining about the wrong things instead of addressing problems from the standpoint their supporters see every day. Trump will win again because of this, not because of social media advertising.

That seems very short sighed of Amazon. The viability of Amazon's open marketplace depends on the review system. Once all trust in reviews is gone people will increasingly shop somewhere else (whether that's a shop with more reliable reviews or one that carefully selects what they sell)

The term “application” was in common use in the 1980s and 1990s, and shortening it to “app” was not uncommon either.

You might recall the term “killer app”. Here’s an article from 1989 using it:

What are we supposed to be looking at here?
Nope, Moore's Law is over.

We run into wavelength-of-light issues around 400 nanometers. There's really no practical way to go beyond that. I can provide tons of citations from top engineers stating we're done here. You might have some processes with e-beam lithography, but it's just too expensive and slow for anything outside super-specialized uses.

Fortunately, that's gotten us to the 200MHz Pentium Pro, with 5 million transistors. Seems like that's plenty good enough for what most people would want to do with computers.

Not really. Apparently folks can order these seeds already? So its happening, notice or no notice. It seems inevitable that seeds of every plant will be in gardens of every conceivable corner of the earth.

Starting in the 1700's with botanists traveling the world to collect and disseminate them. Which gave us modern corn, wheat, flowering plants, grasses, succulents and nearly everything we grow, harvest and appreciate today. May be a little late to start being concerned about this.
I think it's too strong a claim that people don't want it. They don't particularly want to spend money on it, but they do want it to happen. It's one of the things I think is really useful about taxes: they allow us to justify (to ourselves) spending we wouldn't on a case-by-case basis.

If someone asked me if I wanted to contribute to a new freeway in my city that I'm not going to use directly, no I don't, the marginal benefit to me is too slight. But I appreciate having sophisticated infrastructure, and when I see infrastructure spending on the budget, I'm more or less content with it.

By the same token I don't for example pay for trees to be planted for every ton of CO2 I generate, but I'm happy for my taxes to go towards addressing the issue. If someone asked me if I'd like a tax break on the condition that it came out of that line-item, I wouldn't.
Planing to Interview makers for C&F Discover. Are you in?
Hello everyone,

Maybe some of you know about my newsletter ,colorsandfonts.substack.com C&F Discover.

Is a free newsletter where I share a bunch of links to useful tools, assets and articles for web developers and digital designers, no matter if they just launch or have been a while around.

The newsletter is growing slowly but steady.

By now there is 1153 subscribers plus those that reads it on Substack, because you don't need to be subscribed to read it.

What's next?

Well I have been thinking to make interviews and send them on the newsletter.

I would be interviewing makers & designers once at month to start,and if it takes off properly twice month and so on until once a week.

This is just a thought that I had last night and I actually liked it.

Let me know what you think and if you are interested contact me on Twitter.com/Mike_andreuzza or simply let me know about it here.

Have a look to the newsletter here:
- colorsandfonts.substack.com

There's 3 makers already in the queue!

Thank you for the reading and have a great day!
Works fine for me. I'm on 79.0
That's... really anachronistic.

The Death of the Author came about in 1967, even New Criticism, which foreshadowed Death, came about only at the earliest the 1930s-40s, after IA Richards published his Practical Criticism.

Shelley wrote in the Romantic period, when the artist's personal "genius" was paramount as a conduit to the "sublime". Saying that he somehow whipped up a criticism of "author as the arbiter of meaning" in what is practically a product of a friendly poetry contest is plainly absurd.

Strangely you also attributed this anachronistic reading to Shelley, making it somehow the author's intent to be counter-author-intent. Just... why?

ohmyzsh's git status function is utter garbage and has been that way for at least a decade: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/commit/8059c0727a09257dc3... (committed 2010) the function forks 32 times just to do some pattern matching builtin to the shell! Needless to say any theme using that crap is criminally slow. (Edit: It started out forking only 14 times; the number gradually expanded to 32: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/d0d01c0bbf32ffe1dc22...)

To my surprise, it seems the voice of reason finally prevailed, as that crap has been fixed 20 days ago: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/commit/1c58a746af7a67f311... (It's still not remotely close to being well-designed.)

Prezto's git primitives are solid, but nothing could help you when git itself is slow on a huge repo. Hence the need for async.
Two main considerations:

Does the bundle size matter? CLJS bundles are not terribly huge but if you need a very lightweight bundle you're out of luck. Vs plain JS there is just no comparison. Vs plain JS + just a few libraries CLJS will probably do worse too. But for anything bigger it starts to catch up. Say I'd never use CLJS for a landing page, but for most kinds of apps there shouldn't be a problem.

How do you plan to interact with the wider JS ecosystem? One problem with CLJS is while you can pull in most JS stuff, it doesn't work the other way around. Your CLJS library will not be a first class citizen in the JS world. It can be done but it's not a good idea. You can contribute to the CLJS world, but forget about contributing anything significant back to the JS world.

If these two don't bother you, you should be fine.

> If they're collecting this data, I strongly suspect they feel obligated to, maybe even compelled too. Possibly for purposes like app security, user security, OS security, user experience, etc.

This doesn't really make sense; none of those are compelling use cases for such invasive data collection. And this additional new tracking does not seem very useful for security, and even then there's no reason for all of the data to leave the device if it's for security.

Most Turks in Germany are citizens (requirements are if anything laxer than in the US), and there's practically no religious extremism among Turks, so that's just a wrong claim.

And actually extremism among Turks is absent for the very reason I outlined above. In Turkey there's a long tradition of either religious integration in the state in the Ottoman era which had a strong scholastic tradition, or laicism under Atatürk, so there was very little room for sectarianism.

And yes, a lot of extremism is present among refugees, but that just proves the point, where do refugees originate from? Countries with failing state authority.

They obviously need to have a process to validate identity, and it's ridiculous to think that they would tailor that process for every request.

It's also odd that you would want to give them your NEW address if they are likely validating against your OLD address.

Why didn't you just give them your OLD address to check against?
In my experience/opinion, there’s a project size / ticket volume at which an “off topic” ticket that provides positive feedback is problematic. For example, the Homebrew repos are definitely active enough that I’d feel like I was worsening signal/noise by opening an issue to say Thanks. But once projects reach that size, it’s much more likely that they have a well-defined internet presence, which makes it possible to provide the feedback elsewhere (Twitter, IRC, etc).

For smaller projects: I can’t speak for other people, obviously, but I’d happily accept the occasional GitHub issue saying “I used your project and it helped me do $thing, thanks!”

Days when I wake up to an email notification saying that somebody found my project useful are the best. And that’s true whether it was a direct email or a GitHub issue notification.
Anyone know if if there's support for Wayland? Fractional scaling works pretty well out of the box for me on Ubuntu 20.04 (and also did on 18.04).

As for encryption, I see that Architect has support for zfs, but doesn't appear to support installating with encryption out-of-the box. I suppose, if the live Iso does support encryption, it should be possible to "convert" a zfs install to encrypt most (probably not /boot) filesystems:

You can also exclude results from the site completely with -site:github.com, though you're still left with the problem that 'git fork' and variants won't really bring up results that are forks of git, but results that are about forking in git.

Ultimately, in this case only recalling the USP or a similarly unique phrase was ever going to help you find the result you were looking for.
You are correct, and in the source post we find it assumes work factor 5 (32 iterations) whereas the same source says most web sites choose between 7 (128 iterations) and 14 (16384 iterations).

This is apparently because "benchmarks" tend to choose 5. But since sites don't actually use that work factor you should modify your assumptions appropriately.
