Furthermore, DNS isn't necessary. From the inception of computer networking, it has only ever been a usability and discovery aid, that has arguably introduced more centralized control mechanisms than anyone intended.

If you think TPB is hard to legally pin down now, I can't wait to see the come-to-Jesus moment when authorities (in the U.S. in particular) have to come to terms with "the Pirate Bay" being nothing more than a nominative signpost passed between users, and the entity merely existing as a set of services popping up for a while on one IP address or another, with news of transfers spread by word of mouth, and someone has the chutzpah to challenge enforcement on free speech grounds.

This is why this Pirate Bay crusade is a losing gambit. Everyone isn't going to start using the abusive service providers in town just because you shut down one tunnel or branch of the local speakeasy.

Squash one, another pops up, because information wants to be free. You've already got private trackers that are very particular about the people they support, and actively forbid easy onboarding in order to keep the edifice from being trivially subverted by adversaries.

The natural state of human beings is change from the now to the ideal. Content creation companies are guilty of demanding the overly ambitious carve outs that lead to things like TPB existing at all. Get things more reasonable, and work on being better at making content on demand quickly accessible and cross-referenceable and you have a service that people will generally pay for either straight up, or by other means such as time and awareness. Clamp down on information dissemination, and watch as the castle sinks as the sand that would otherwise buoy it up screw off elsewhere where artificially barriers to getting things done aren't erected.

There are all kinds of reasons to believe people would lie to pollster calling them up

That is with out getting into the real sampling problems they have as when you look into the data they over-sample Democrats a good deal and I do not believe they properly account for this over sample largely because they do so on a base ratio, the problem with that is I believe they are also massively oversampling never trump republicans so they have an inaccurate republican sample for which to re-balance the polling

They are not polling Trump's base, or Trump supporters or really the moderate middle

They are getting Democrats and Never Trump republicans in their polls

Cab companies had long been classifying drivers like that. Also, the bidding process for cab rental generally drove net wages to the bare minimum, so Uber/Lyft weren't new in either respect.

Here's a story from The Reg in 2015: https://www.theregister.com/2015/03/13/google_developer_gtld...

They quote from Google's application for .dev in 2013: "The proposed gTLD will provide Google with direct association to the term 'dev', which is an abbreviation of the word 'development'. The mission of this gTLD, .dev, is to provide a dedicated domain space in which Google can enact second-level domains specific to its projects in development."

Google finally opened it to registration in 2019, four years later: https://www.theregister.com/2019/02/21/google_launches_dev/

(Google also added .dev to the HSTS preload list so browsers expect names in that domain to only be reachable via HTTPS, thus breaking in-house uses of .dev.)

We had that before with taxis. It wasn't good. Dirty cars, long wait times (if they come at all), "broken" credit card machines.

Granted for the most part that was with medallions, and maybe with more open competition things will be better. But with employees only I don't see how you can get the elasticity of supply.

You can put the effort in on your schedule to degoogle, or wait for them to discontinue services where you have to degoogle on their priorities plans and schedule.

You'll note the list doesn't have solutions to replace Google Reader, or Google Music, or G+.

Someday I'm sure I'll have to replace Google Domains and Calendar and YouTube. Maybe I should do that on my schedule instead of waiting for google to decide for me.
I want to believe this is possible, but experience also says it's not worth it.

This happened in Austin, TX. When Uber and Lyft left Austin due to a driver fingerprint ordinance, RideAustin, a local non-profit with the backing of an Austin tech mogul, sprung up. Ride Austin paid drivers better, had a round-up option to support local charities, and though there were some early kinks with the app most of those went away after a couple months. I was a big fan and supported them as much as I could.

The second Uber and Lyft came back (state legislature overrode Austin's ordinance), Ride Austin's ridership plummeted. I tried to still take them whenever I could, but over time it became harder and harder (fewer riders meant fewer quality drivers). After 3 bad pickup experiences at the airport I said forget it. Covid was the final nail in the RideAustin coffin and it closed in June.

Of course California is a much bigger market so any competitors may have better luck, but I still think a lot will be wary if it's just a matter of time before the big boys come back in one form or another.
I think their point was that GTA 5 was not free-to-play and still made billions. It could be sold at full price up until 6 releases and then 6 could be sold at full price for years and people will still be interested.
I've been using DDG for more than a year. Just switched back a day or two ago. I just got sick of the terrible results. I don't know if Google got better or DDG/Bing got worse. A few months ago I started comparing search results and the Google ones where better and the other day I just couldn't handle doing double searches anymore.

Really sad to me that it came to this.
The probability that he is telling the truth is far far smaller than 5%. I would say maybe about 5e-9.

He clearly lied about having degrees from MIT and Caltech and people who are known to have made such a major lie are surely much more likely to be lying about other things.

As for his UFO claims, it's not just that they fly in the face of all accepted theories of physics but that the way he describes them has no connection to our current understanding of physics. In other words to anyone with a real physics background they sound like absolute nonsense. This is why physicists like Stanton Friedman and Eric Davis, though themselves believers in the reality of the UFO phenomenon, were/are convinced he is lying.
Come on, let's be serious. What makes your idea distinct from existing weapon systems? Instead of making up new names for old things just look up what is serving the same purpose as your idea. "Drones" are just guided bombs or missiles. "Motherships" are just fighter jets or bombers.
>So instead of taking the time to prepare to meet the new requirements of a law that to some extent was directly aimed at them, the current ride-sharing incumbents decided to play legal chicken and not prepare re-tooling for the change.

That's not true. They've implemented changes in CA to give drivers more power to set their prices and choose their customers. Also have given more power to customers to choose their preferred drivers.
> Johnson said these planets are not likely to support life. "They would probably be extremely cold, because they have no star," he said. (Other research missions involving Ohio State astronomers will search for exoplanets that could host life.)

This depends on the nature of the planet. Some planets with internal heat sources like Earth or Jupiter wouldn't be frozen. They wouldn't have liquid water on their surface, but they might have warm and habitable conditions somewhere in the planet for certain definitions of "habitable".

Passages in the Void is a set of stories from Kuro5hin where I first read about rogue planets sustaining life: http://localroger.com/ They were written by the same author as Metamorphosis of the Prime Intellect and are interesting sci-fi.
It's not about impressiveness - surely, it's impressive. However, the article is more or less critiquing the discourse surrounding the model - namely, that there is a strange misconception floating around that it's somehow a general purpose AI that can understand and think about the world similar to a human. Which, of course, it cannot.

If the claims about GPT-3 were accurate, there'd be a lot less of a flare-up about it. Don't claim your software does what it can't.

Just how many parts of the stack does Google have its fingers in?

EDIT:

Consider this:

1. a user at home, wearing a Fitbit walks over to their computer, with their Nest camera recording their movements

2. they open their Chromebook, which uses Chrome OS

3. browses to their Gmail inbox with Chrome, and clicks on a link in one of their emails, sent by a friend using a Google Pixel phone running Android.

4. via their Fiber ISP

5. using Public DNS (8.8.8.8)

6. transfers between the US and Europe via the Grace Hopper subsea cable

7. transfers with HTTP/2 (based on SPDY)

8. to the website on the .dev TLD.

Bob Lazar has never produced any evidence that corroborates his story. He has never demonstrated that he has the level of knowledge in physics that he claims he has. He has never produced a copy of his master's thesis. The colleges that he claim to have attended have no records of him graduating and no classmates nor professors have said that they remember him, nor can he provide the names of any of his classmates or professors. His claims are more or less star trek technobabble and they're full of holes. For example, the location he gives for the location of the S-4 base puts it right on the edge of the restricted air space around area 51 which is extremely odd for a top secret project that involves flying alien craft. He claims that a bus took him to this secret base, yet there don't appear to be any roads that are suitable for use by a bus. There's absolutely no evidence for any kind of underground base there. The list could go on and on.
> Only build if you have the talent to do so

I would certainly hope that if the function is part of what differentiates the company competitively that they'd hire the talent. If they're trying to be the best "X" company and nobody who works there is any good at "X", they should fail. The dot-com era is littered with the graves of companies who thought that just having an idea was enough.
I don't have Flight Simulator, but someone on Facebook posted a screenshot of a friend's house in a suburban area in Florida, and I duplicated the image in Google Earth. It's just one data point, but here's what I noticed.

- The water looks better in Flight Simulator. A large pond has ripples and reflections in Flight Simulator but it's just flat in Google Earth.

- Trees and houses look better in Google Earth. Flight Simulator put trees in the middle of a house and in the middle of a street, and they seem a bit more crumply.

- Neither one gets palm trees right. On a major road with palm trees next to it, Flight Simulator turned them into green stalagmites and Google Earth didn't model them at all, leaving them as flat shadows on the ground.

It seems like if you like good-looking water or clouds (which Google Earth barely has) then Flight Simulator would be better, and obviously clouds are important for flight simulation. But if you just want to see the sights, Google Earth is pretty good and Flight Simulator isn't necessarily going to model things better.

Flight sim noob, but that Cessna Citation CJ4 model behaves very oddly. It has this very weird pumping up/down behavior. The 747 model behaves a lot better.

This is not a tolerable release. My gut feeling is that Microsoft needs to get this french studio (Asobo) to spend at least 50% more time on making this work. I don't think they will.

Modern Linux printing isn't anywhere near as difficult as it used to be.

Virtually all modern network-capable printers support "driverless" (read: standardized page data format) printing. CUPS has embedded drivers for "driverless" printers and will print to them with little to no configuration.

In addition, printers that support PostScript have always worked with Linux. This covers most workgroup-level laser printers.

The only potential pitfall is that some wifi printers need to be configured over USB to set the SSID and WPA password, but this can be done from a Windows VM or, at least in the case of HP, through the HP Linux drivers.

Never buy a consumer inkjet printer. This isn't a Linux thing but rather a value-for-money thing. Buy a B&W laser and, if you need to print photographs, get them done by a photo lab or print shop.

Thanks for your response. Saying that Gates's motivation in his charitable work is to launder his reputation seems a tad cynical to me. Isn't it plausible that he is simply trying to use his time and resources the best he knows how?

All websites that heavily rely on Javascript just work better on Chrome for me. Google products, OSM, streaming sites, chat applications, they just all work quicker and smoother on Chrome. Even my own code seems to run into more performance caps on Firefox depending on the behaviour it exhibits.

On plain websites, there's no real difference. When it comes to (messy) JS, problems pop up more in Firefox than in Chrome.

I don't blame the Spidermonkey devs for this, of course, because people just need to write better (less) JS. However, in practice, you do see the difference when you try out Firefox.

> You can see how many cars they are; you do not need to add a device on each car to count them, nor to read license numbers, etc. A simple light sensors to see if the light is blocked by cars, would be good to have.

But you can also see license plates, car make and model, color. This is the same for server-side analytics, where you can still see IP address, user agent (browser), time of visit, etc. So you don't have to add anything to each device either. As soon as you access a public website, I think they do have the right to check and use the publicly available information. If this information is so sensitive that it's considered private, shouldn't we instead change the infrastructure so that this information is not actually publicly visible? HTTPS is a good step in this direction, bute the IP/UA is still sent to the remote server, which is sometimes useful for fraud prevention, anti-spam, etc.
I can't take credit for the phrase, only for being thoughtful enough in my early career to more-or-less work it out from first principles.
Same here: Migrated all my gmail accounts to Fastmail. Took me two days. Migrated Google Docs to Dropbox. And replaced Google Sheets and Doc with a Microsoft subscription (MS Word and MS Excel).

Then there‘s the search engine. I tried hard to replace Google Search with DDG, but I have to admit that Google gives me better search results. Still I would love to leave this also behind.

Finally there is youtube for me. Ain‘t no alternative I know about.

It‘s hard to leave google completely behind.

Edit: Replaced Chrome first with Safari, then with Firefox and never looked back.

Edit 2: Moved all my photos from Google‘s cloud solution to iCloud when I migrated from Android to iDevices.

Edit 3: Fastmail (although a rather smallish company) do a phantastic job with their mail service. Their contact management and calendar are also superb. Fastmail + MailMate on MacOS are a dream-team.
Book Publishers Warn Congress Amazon Is Too Powerful
I'm certainly no psychologist, but my impression from his Joe Rogan interview is that his story is fiction that he might believe. That possibly it's a story he came to believe about himself as some sort of coping mechanism to protect his ego in some way.

I know some people who watched that video and concluded that he seems genuine, but for me it gave me a strong impression, a gut instinct, that he's been lying to himself for years.

I can't see why Newton would lie to his friends and relations about something like this, but in the absence of a time machine and a brain scanner your interpretation is as valid as any other.

In any case, regardless of whether Newton's recollection of his own experiences was mistaken or confected, this is not a myth in the normal sense of being the product of invention or misconstrual by others long after the event.

Newpipe has completely replaced my Youtube usage since I mostly use it on mobile, and it lets you save your subscriptions locally. Its actually really nice and imo superior to the dumbed down Youtube app used nowadays anyway. Freetube is the same idea but for desktop, but I've found it to be much buggier in using it, so I occasionally just use youtube in a private tab and directly search for a video on desktop, usually after seeing in my Newpipe feed. Both of these are listed in the original list, but they deserve special shoutouts since YouTube is the site with the most universality within Google's ecosystem. Also many of your favorite video creators may already use services like LBRY and Bitchute.
