I recently was working on the same thing (https://github.com/chris124567/puppeteer-bypassing-bot-detec...). The existing solutions (like the headless-cat-n-mouse repo) seemed to be pretty incomplete and easily detected. I got mine to pass all the checks on Antoine Vastel’s site along with Distil Networks’ and PerimeterX‘s bot detection (although in practice they may have other ways of detection like checking for rapid URL visits).

Something worth noting about toString is that it can now be undetectably modified (to fake “native code”) with the new ES6 Proxy object. There was a really interesting blog post written about this at https://adtechmadness.wordpress.com/2019/03/23/javascript-ta... (I also incorporated this into my project).
> (...) and then expect users to engage with it because it exists.

This is indeed a troubling trend, so many annoying popups, banners, and notifications only seem to serve to forcefully try and push a small percentage of users towards some feature. If adoption is poor, it's probably because it's not wanted. Of course, in some SaaS contexts, it makes a lot of sense to keep users informed of features that might be of benefit to them and they may have otherwise not discovered, but that's a completely different game from just shoving stuff down their throats.

Protip: don't follow this advice. Your coworkers will resent you and you'll have a bad time.

Corporate rules can be broken, but it should always been done in a savvy way instead of a brazen way. In most orgs, your performance is less important than people's perception and opinion of you. Find a way to show them the respect and deference they crave, even if you break their rules anyway.
The opposite can argued too.

That children who don't use tablets have shorter attention spans and worst social skills. The "natural is better" argument is not research based. Society has long preached that things like reading books is great for kids but it's entirely unnatural just like tablets.

Generally research in this area has been extremely biased against electronics. You also have to control for the type of activities they are doing on the tablet.

For example the mental stimulation when playing an educational Daniel Tiger game is completely different than watching a toy sales driven TV show like Transformers. Both can be done on a tablet though.

Coca-Cola spent over 4 billion dollars in advertising in 2019 [1], I guess if you asked them if they believe in advertisement they will tell you that they do.

Coca-Cola doesn't rely on you *believing* that advertisement work, they *believe* advertisement works.

I do not know if advertisement works personally, I am guessing that Coca-Cola believes it does and that they have reason to believe so.

I think they should find this out and then give the public a ring. Until then, feels like clickbait.
If you hit `C-h b` you get a list of all the current keybindings. `C-h m` lists the keybindings focused on the active modes. You can search either for the functionality or binding you're looking for. Also, `C-h k` followed by any keybinding will describe the keybinding. If you get the documentation of a function or command with `C-h f`, it'll also mention the keybindings it's bound to, if any. All these `C-h` help keybindings are described if you hit `C-h C-h`, and they're also mentioned in the tutorial that's linked to when you start up emacs for the first time on default configuration.

These helps are also available in the GUI menu bar, for example Help > Describe > List Key Bindings, which also mentions the keybinding `C-h b` to the right of that.

How is discoverability of keybindings lacking?

> There has been growing concern that toddler touchscreen use may negatively impact their developing attention but this fear is not based on empirical evidence.”

That isn’t surprising to me: there are no inherent properties attached to a touch screen that would affect attention. But there are plenty of fast paced games and videos that could, and those tend to be viewed through touch screens. So I still wonder about that (though it’s not all that different to watching too much TV, something people have discussed for decades now)
So then, what's the problem?
This article is irrelevant, put something in space and maybe it’s meaningful.
Basically what put me off was the way the keys are arranged in a semi circle. It was uncomfortable to code. I am not sure if it is because I have big hands or just the design didn't work for me.
Studies like these are pointless. Parents that give young kids touchscreens tend to not spend quality time with their kids to begin with.
There will be a lobby for public tables at some point in the future, but at the moment you would have to organize it your self (e.g. by posting a link to a table here)
The doctrine under copyright law is that you have no right to have a copy of a work without the copyright holder's permission. From that basis, various forms of asshole on the face of this Earth, and their lawyers, have come up with various licenses that inject all sorts of behavioral conditions, far outside of the scope of copyright law, on the granting of a permission for you to have a copy. The idea is to turn the non-compliance with those conditions into copyright infringment. "Oh, you're violating clause 37? And still have a copy of the work? That's not allowed! You must comply, or else destroy the copy!"

As this very thread has made clear, Palmer Luckey's reputation has been damaged by Facebook's choice to renege on their statements regarding requiring a Facebook login. That's an injury. If it had been part of the contract he would absolutely be in a position to enforce it in court. It was NOT in the contract.
A large contributor to this would be the increase in investors pumping money in "safe" and easy ETFs. Instead of taking the time to investigate the market and looking into novel ventures, people want to ride the market into wealth.

If there ever was any social responsibility in investing, it would have been providing fluidity into new ventures and making markets efficient by making educated investments. I find this trend worrisome and I think it might be sending incorrect market signals.
It's not that Apple has grown that much in value, but rather the US dollar has become more worthless. Even gold is up nearly 20% since May.
I'm of the opinion that our eyes extend our brain, and we actually use the external world as working memory to some extent.

The evidence I have is the dramatic drop in perception quality when my eyes are closed. Even though my minds eye is exceptionally vivid, there are differences when visual data is not available.

3d stereo reconstruction of surfaces is one area that is greatly hindered. When my eyes are open, saccades cause waves of stereo correlation to pass over an object revealing it's surface geometry in extreme detail.

Ongoing querying of reality is useful to explain some other detail related perceptual phenomenon.

There was also a visual perception demo I saw at OMSI a few years ago in which a scene had objects appear and disappear. A frame of black between the changes completely disrupted normal change detection and it was very difficult to detect which objects changed when relying on only "visual memory".

My evidence is empirical, but I'm sufficiently convinced that our minds use reality directly for parts of our working memory.

Nobody knows, but it happens and so we should research the effects.
While we didn't just hand my son a device, the reality is he grabbed our phones at 1 year and played with it. Even in those quick grabs, it was intuitive enough to watch him play with pulling down the notification drawer or tapping on things. I would say that's minimal interaction but certainly a different level then someone who plops a 1 year old in front of an ipad or one that has no electronics in the home.
Are the market caps of Apple and other tech giants growing as exponents, or sigmoids? This, to me, is the big question. Can multi-trillion dollar market caps continue to grow at this rate, or will they taper off?

Naively, one expects to get returns as a percentage of investment. In this multiplicative sense, Jeff Bezos at a 188B net worth is much closer to being a trillionaire than a one-billionaire (a factor of 5 vs a factor of 188). But can Amazon's market cap continue to grow in such a fashion? What bounds it (and that of other tech companies)?

One might assume that they have to be bound by world GDP (80T). But if they're truly creating value, can't they expand world GDP along with themselves?
Using Proxy is key to a lot of bot detection avoidance.

So, per this page:

"The study followed them over the next 2.5 years, bringing them into the lab at 18 months and 3.5 years. At the 18-month and 3.5-year visits, toddlers took part in a computer task in which they were trained to search for a red apple amongst a varying number of either blue apples (easy search), or blue apples and red apple slices (difficult search). An eye tracker monitored their gaze and visually rewarded the child when they found the red apple, allowing them to perform the task even though they were too young to verbally describe what they were doing."

No discussion as to any other effect of screen use. Why did this need study? Humans who use a thing more often are better at working with thing?

Better studies on kids with screen time focuses on spatial development: https://digitalcommons.liu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1...

"Greater daily digital usage was associated with lower visual spatial performance.
Spending even small amounts of time daily with integrated technology was associated with
lower WPPSI-IV overall intelligence test scores, and visual spatial scores. Those with the least
amount of resources are at the most risk for lower visual spatial abilities"

> $20 a month and get everything, every movie, every tv show, ever

I'm surprised, thought, that there's no service that offers a lot of old movies. I get it - the Avengers movie that was just released cost a few hundred million to make, so it would make sense that it would be harder to find on a streaming service than something that came out in the 80's. What I find is the opposite, though - it's easy to find recent big hits online than it is to find, say, Bladerunner or Bill & Ted.
I don't see what's different between public administrations and large corporations here. You say that the efficiency metric is non-existent in public administration, but it's mostly the same for many organizations within large corporations as well. Efficiency metrics may not be entirely non-existent, but they're incredibly opaque or difficult to measure. (For instance, R&D efficiency is usually difficult to measure because of the inevitable time delay between successful R&D efforts and market success.)

This is a solid answer, but I'd also add - there are very few general music buffs.

Maybe I'd count, with years in pro music performance, degree in Jazz and a lifetime of listing to and performing an insanely wide variety of genres... but not a buff for all styles.

Computer systems are actually not a bad analogy. How many people do you know that have an in-depth knowledge of Assembly in different systems (including the oldest ones), GPUs, ML, Python, JS, Haskell, C++, Rust, ALGOL, Compilers, Hardware development, etc. Then add into the mix having an in-depth knowledge of the creators of those things, what else they did, failures, influences, their mentors.

You always have the choice of breadth versus depth, within your time constraints. I think learning about a single artist or band, looking up the producer, label, members and following up on all those leads to see what else they have done - and see if you like it is a great beginning.

Some genres like jazz might seem difficult to get into, and that's fine. No need to delve in until you find a hook that peaks your interest. And then when you find out about a genre (and jazz is an excellent example) - you'll find sub-genres you like, and don't and maybe you are interested in the evolution - like many people love bebop, but don't listen to "dixieland jazz" or big band swing, or modern fusion.

You will never hear all the music. But depth (in my opinion) breads a lot more passion than breadth just for the sake of it. So rather than listening to all the top 40 singles of the last decades, you'd probably be better off listening to some whole albums, and exploring from there.

Spotify (and similar) make it very easy for breadth, and can help discover new music you like - but you'll need to put work into delving in deep yourself.

As you do have a passion for film I'd suggest this.

For interesting modern music Quentin Tarantino files always deliver.

Danny Elfman has some interesting stuff (like this Simpsons theme which is a great example of the Lydian mode...)

John Williams & Hans Zimmer have made loads of epic soundtracks, and if you like them - look up Holst, Tchaikovsky and Wagner

If you want a weirder launching off point, watch koyaanisqatsi and look up Philip Glass who made the soundtrack - that's an interesting avenue, albeit not very mainstream.

Another epic film score is 28 Days Later, John Murphey - parts of which have been used in loads of other huge features like Kick Ass...

You could also go a different route, and look up how the pre-classical Pachelbel's Canon contains the chord progression that is arguably the most popular of all time and watch this mash up of songs that use it (or the first part) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOlDewpCfZQ

Hahahaha, I could go on forever! I hope you find something you love, and actually want to go deeper into.
Myths about Grad School in CS (In Canada)
I imagine (though the full study hasn’t been published yet to check) that they recruited children that already had X amount of touchscreen usage each day. I very much doubt they forced children into different brackets of touchscreen use as part of the study.

This, exactly. The other thing is that everyone and their brother wants to create an app store to get 30% of revenue. The thing they miss is that you have a consumer driven device that users want even without the app store. That is what Apple nailed. They were also first. They will continue to ride this wave for a long time.
It is true that commands are at the heart of Emacs but as soon as you move beyond very basic use, invoking commands in ways other than through the keyboard becomes impractical. I'm not only talking about keyboard shortcuts but also about the fact that a lot of these commands actually take parameters that would be difficult to provide by mouse.

Emacs out of the box comes with a menu system. This is very good and useful for newcomers because it not only gives a familiar feel, it also helps discovering functionality. However, it is no coincidence that a lot of power-users turn off menu and toolbar, as evidenced e.g. by Steve Yegge's "effective emacs" tips (https://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/effective-emacs#it...). Now, not every user is a power-user, there is of course a spectrum, but to me it is fairly clear that the way Emacs is designed, mouse-based usage would be a limiting factor.
The rule of law inherently relies on society buying into the concept, and most everyone doing their part to enforce it. Most crime is prevented by people themselves choosing to follow societal norms and people keeping each other in check. Lack of respect for this dynamic is a large part of how the rule of law has been slowly undermined - eg use of the legal system to force outside norms onto subcultures, known as the "war on drugs".

When a large group has collectively decided to abandon some laws, the rule of law has already broken down. Citizens rightly outnumber police, and looking for a top-down response is fallacious. The real question to be asking is why have so many citizens become so disenfranchised as to start rejecting laws? For protests, answering this is quite straightforward - the entire point of a protest is to tell you.

At what point are police justified in attacking a rowdy group? At the very least it needs to be equitable. If the group is committing property crimes such as vandalism and graffiti, responding with physical violence is itself a significant escalation.

Furthermore, I don't think it's fair to assert that the group will continue to escalate - just because they have abandoned respect for some laws does not mean the group has abandoned all moral code.

As I started off saying, the real solution to policing low level crimes is to deploy small units of officers distributed throughout the group. If those officers are attacked, only then do they have the right to defend themselves with force. What the police have been doing in the name of control has mostly been a state sanctioned counter protest, complete with battle lines.
It's all imaginary. It's just that people are in different stages of enlightenment:

These rules/laws are Real

Wait, these rules/laws are made up/flawed

The whole thing is made up

Nothing is real

Lets make up our own rules/laws

These rules/laws have a functional place

We should build process around these rules

Every Generation washes rinses repeats forever. It doesn't matter if it's a corporate "requirement," government involvement or a scientific law, it's the same pattern.
> It sounds like your idea of a protest is necessarily aggravating. That may be non-violent, but it isn't peaceful.

"No justice, no peace". Yes, protests obviously aren't peaceful. They're also generally responses to conditions that are not peaceful. If this is supposed to be a condemnation, then I'm happy that online petitions suffice for you.

An eye tracker monitored their gaze and visually rewarded the child when they found the red apple, allowing them to perform the task even though they were too young to verbally describe what they were doing.

First off, this is brilliant use of eye tracking. I could see eye tracking being so useful for learning, such as tracking attention, knowing when to need a break, etc. Eye tracking is super useful in user testing - for example I was watching some user testing at a major corporation and we used eye tracking. We instructed the user to minimize the app and then open it again, and we noticed that when it was in the systray, people really got confused. It was really easy to see because we could see where their eyes were scanning. Using eye tracking for people who can't speak (for any reason, maybe physical or mental injury or disability, and here age / language barrier) could be huge.

The attention differences are certainly interesting, although I wonder how much of it might be training to use touchscreens, or the idea of a screen that it might change at any time, without related motion. This is completely unnatural, as you would normally think something will change when something walks over to it, or moves slightly. Fixed objects tend to fade more into the background of our mental landscape, which is the basis of a lot of sleight of hand. Like removing something when you can't see it. It'd be interesting to compare against something that doesn't change when you interact with it, like television screens. (is it the touch part, or the screen part?)

I also wonder how touchscreens are sometimes differently interpreted by animals, kind of like mirrors are. For example, some cats seem to think that the little toy apps are under them, or inside of them, or are just generally confused. It's really quite fascinating.
