DoorDash is interesting.

Sure they don't have subscription like predictability for their revenues. But they have a lot of data, and machine learning, so they may get pretty close in predicting how many people will order steak next month.

And let's say they partner/own a chain of ghost kitchen restaurants who offer a large variety of food(which is a much more competitive business model than restaurants). And that chain can suddenly get steak(and the other stuff), for half the price ?

From a privacy point of view it doesn't matter who collects it so long as the FBI and US military can retrieve it on-demand without a warrant or probable cause under FAA 702.
They are such a large player in this business. I wonder what would the impact be on competitor websites.
> ... Facebook has maintained its monopoly position by buying up companies that present competitive threats and by imposing restrictive policies that unjustifiably hinder actual or potential rivals that Facebook does not or cannot acquire

Imagine if FB was broken up like old school monopolies. That would definitely open field to a lot of smaller social media startups. I am worried about consumer privacy impacts because it is easier to regulate one giant company than a myriad of smaller ones. Regardless, I say let's do it because monopolies and data stewardship are two separate problems and historically monopoly breakdowns did great things for innovation.

no, because the core _recipe_ part of the post isn't copyrightable. The descriptive stuff around it is.

> ...where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions...

re what @qw3rty01 said, ... It only applies if you're including all the stuff _around_ the core recipe.

This is why there are so many recipe apps that scrape web sites and don't get sued out of existence.

A recipe is a set of instructions on how to alter and combine foods. This is "obviously" not worthy of copyright. A set of instructions on how to combine and alter text on the other hand (99.999% of software) is 100% copyrightable
I'm not up to date on the topic but

Additionally, we are currently planning to change the rule limit from maximum of 30k rules per extension to a global maximum of 150k rules.

The Declarative Net Request API now allows for the registration and removal of dynamic rules - specified at runtime rather than statically in the manifest. We’ve also added the capability to remove common tracking headers, such as Referer, Cookie, and Set-Cookie.

The blocking version of the Web Request API remains available for managed extensions because of the deep integrations that enterprises may have between their software suites and Chrome.

It seems that the publicized drawbacks have been addressed, which drawbacks remains? What could prevent uBlock Origin support?

They happen a lot with Postamtes too :/. Maybe it's locational?

I also noticed that Postamtes seems to give drivers either instructions or photos of last delivered foods based on time of day or something, as my deliverys between a bracket of hours are always in the same wrong unit, yet it's tons of different drivers and I complain each time.
this could just be a subreddit, no?
Orthogonal to the who/what/why of this particular scenario, this is completely in keeping with the at-will employment philosophy. If the parties have irreconcilable differences, which is my impression from these articles, then negotiating a mutually-agreeable end-date seems like a no-brainer. Instead we have these immediate executive actions, which always end up benefiting (or at least not-harming) the employer.
>Given that, I think it's entirely appropriate to also look at the Republican-controlled Senate report that the OP linked, which says it did.

Wrong, it said it did not find collision.

Here's the summary from the lead on the US Senate Special Committee on Intelligence:

https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases...

“We can say, without any hesitation, that the Committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election."
That would drastically undermine the point of those, and any future, subsidies. I would also find it to be immoral.
I feel like a gatekeeper provided experience will have a moderating influence that will bring people back to a shared narrative over time. Possibly a very long time.
You're spreading misinformation. Should you be censored?

> Edit: A lot of the responses here seem to be unaware of Texas’ lawsuit and the ramifications. I expect the conspiracy claims to be separated out from the genuine concerns if the Supreme Court chooses to hear that suit.

I'm not sure why you think that. I doubt any legally-minded individuals think there's any merit to that lawsuit.

1. It's dubious Texas even has standing. Texas has extremely limited influence, if any, over the manner in which other states manage their elections. If Pennsylvania wanted, they could divvy out their electoral votes via coin flip in future elections. As far as I'm aware (and I'm not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt), a state suing another state for the way it handles elections is entirely without precedent.

2. There's the issue of laches. If mail-in voting is unconstitutional, the time to make that argument was months ago. Courts are already hesitant to change election procedure near election day for fear of confusing voters. They are far less willing to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters after ballots have already been cast.
It is not pointless. A platform cannot be sued. A publisher needs to maintain journalistic integrity when it publishes. Can’t be both.
Even if they were three separate companies wouldn't Mark still have voting control of all three companies?

>That's not at all what people were screaming for the past four years.

Why would you feel the need to lie about something so clearly untrue? I'm sure you can find a group of people on the internet somewhere that might have made this claim, in the same way that you can find people claiming the earth is flat.

But this fabrication that everyone was claiming Russians hacked the votes is just nonsense.
Sounds like you need to shop around.
Normalize.css is a general CSS normalizer that caters to all web developers whereas SPCSS is merely my personal stylesheet that does not try to normalize anything at all. So indeed it is just my personal preference that is the reason for changing the link color and the body font.

I believe when you say "font-size to a little smaller than normal", you are talking about "font-size: 0.9em" for pre, code, etc. I have removed it now, so that they now have a font-size of 1em. Thank you for highlighting this issue.
> blows everything out of the water

I guess that's kind of what I am afraid of. Plus the issue of waste storage.
Per my interpretation, this all amounts to something troubling, but not definitively something solid pointing to let's say a quid pro quo. So to me this doesn't close the question of whether "it happened".

> “grave counterintelligence threat,”

Somebody's opinion about what could happen or might have happened.

> "very real counterintelligence threat"

The opinion of a member of the opposing political party about what could happen or might have happened.

> narratives

This sounds like something that could be part of collusion but I'd need to see the rest. It's open to interpretation and I don't trust the media enough to assume they wouldn't imply something like this without having something big behind it. Indeed they hint at things without actually stating them because they're not actually true all the time.
I think California would have higher property taxes if they hadn't implemented prop 13 back in the 80s. Really messed up the state tax dynamics imho. Policy started from a good place but ended up with weird ripple effects.
Unfortunately, after skimming through the PDF of the complaint (https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/1910134fbco...), it appears the FTC is not seeking that remedy.

Part 4 of a short story series about the 2014 Israel-Hamas Conflict
It's funny because I explicitly said that writing a comment and talking to friends is way different from making a video or a podcast because of the audience you might have and the presence of counterpoints, such as your comment.

And it's also fun that you took a comment that basically said "channels with big audiences should care about not saying wrong things" and took it as a support of censorship.

Finally, you took the one example where the evidential basis is exactly there!

- Facebook wanted to create a digital currency, and wanted it to be used by as much people as possible.

- Monetary sovereignty is the capacity of a state to control what currency is used as legal payment, how much of it is issued and how much of is it retired.

- If Libra became widespread in a country under the conditions that Facebook wanted (i.e., the Libra association controlling issuance and retirement), it would complete and (partially or completely) replace the state's currency and therefore the state would not have power to control its own currency, therefore losing monetary sovereignty to the Libra association.

- The Libra association was an association of private companies, QED.

And all of this brings me again to the point of how comments and videos are different. I made a comment, you made a comment, I made another one, and most people reading will watch the different viewpoints. If this was instead YouTube videos with millions of views, a lot of people would see the video title and take it as fact, another group would watch it and wouldn't care or wouldn't have the capacity to search for the opposing viewpoints, and only a minority (I think) would actually see the full debate. That's why I say that the standards should be different if your potential audience is bigger and they're less exposed to other viewpoints.
Pretty sure the focus is on Instagram and Whatsapp only, not Oculus.
Replacing Lines of Code with 2 Little Regexs in Postgres
It's tricky for sure, I agree. If I write a letter to a bank, it's certainly theirs to turn over. But if I put a letter to someone else in my safe deposit box at the bank, they can't turn that over without a specific warrant and probable cause.

Google searches are tricky for sure. I'm asking Google to look something up for me. What I looked up is their record.

But for example, video rentals are specifically protected as are library checkout records. Even though I've asked those places to do something for me, they can't reveal that.

So yeah, it's tricky, but at the end of the day it should probably count as my personal property.

> You said vegans eat less avocado than non-vegans.

I go on my view of products used in commercial food. Guacamole and the likes are all unnecessarily products sold to the supermarket consumer I would view as high amount. Personally I dislike the taste.

> I actually do care but I try to be realistic and practical. My approach is long-term. Most people eat meat, and they're not going to change that. They like the taste, they like the structure. If lab meat is a 1:1 copy of that, and it can be priced competitively, there's no more need for the bio industry. Its going to be a massive blow for animal suffering, world-wide. More impact than all of the people who are vegan combined.

I agree wholly and I work on the same basis. I can't convert someone, why should they listen to me? And I am not someone who is for preaching. I'll express my concerns above allowing the other person to take and think. I of-course listen and understand those to who do eat meat. And those who do, I won't shame, life is made of choices, you do you. But for me, I don't partly because my moral compass says no, like for the reasons above. I don't eat sugar either as that again is an destructive product of the devil.

> That's akin to the question why we still use fossil fuels. Because it has its advantages.

Money is a large factor but I don't have the time to debate, but I would argue that the advantages given are themselves disadvantages. I would argue that the con's outweighs the pro's and that it's destructive all around. From manufacturing to usage.

Thank you for the civil discussion :).
They won't.

It'll be a stepping stone toward getting a job at the big players.

At best, they'll keep the B players around because they won't pass the stricter bar for immigration.
This isn't how I'd describe the guarantees provided by a package manager. In fact, most package managers don't really provide any guarantees at all; almost all of them support something like preinst.sh and postinst.sh scripts which can basically do anything. It's the package maintainers that are supposed to provide the guarantees you describe. Of course, they're only human, and their incentives might not line up with yours.

And if you stray outside the official channels, as most users must at least some of the time, then you're back to all-bets-are-off. Fetching and installing packages from a channel hosted by some third party really is no better from a security standpoint than running a (signed) shell script from that same party.

EDIT: I should add that there may be some new, advanced package management systems that do actually provide strong guarantees, like only putting files in certain directories, never setting the setuid/setgid bits on executable files, or perhaps ensuring that all files from a package are owned by a user:group associated with that package (the Linux From Scratch docs describe a package management scheme like that, it's worth checking out). I'm referring here to the majority of popular package managers, e.g. dpkg, which will run arbitrary code during installation.
Everyone's talking about divesting Instagram and WhatsApp, but I would much prefer that the FTC ordered Facebook to acquire and accidentally kill TikTok.

Far right = Anything not explicitly aligned with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

You're absolutely correct. The left has done to "far-right", what the right did to "communist/socialist". They've used the term to describe anything and everything that's not on their team as "far-right", to the point where the term is just another meaningless pejorative.
>why wouldn't Democrats do everything in their power to get him removed from office?

Correctly, people note that a sure marker of a conspiracy theory is that the absence of evidence supports the claim. (ie, there must have been a cover-up!)

This is definitely true, but another aspect which doesn't get enough attention is an argument which relies totally on psychoanalysis. "Group X would surely want to do x, and therefore they probably did!"

The truth is that you generally don't understand people's incentives as well as you might guess. Further, simply because there is an incentive does not mean there is a capability.

But, most importantly, claims require evidence. Reading incentives is pretty flawed regardless. At best, it must be backstopped by real, hard evidence. This total lack of evidence is why these cases are being unceremoniously tossed out of court.
MDMA-assisted couples therapy investigated in pilot trial
My opinion:

A hard working researcher had the the flaw of not being able to produtivly work with some people. Some of those people were good and some of those people were bad.

At some point, some of those people decided that the cost of drama exceeded the value the work.

Much more drama ensued.

Yeah, good thing the noble gentlemen in charge of our social media are committed and powerful enough to save us from that dark future. That makes me feel so much safer.
I don't think the number of Europeans coming to the US or the number of Americans going to Europe is massively high in either direction, so we're talking about a pretty specific subset of people for whom this makes sense, mostly for economic reasons.

1. Life costs are nowhere near quadruple, in fact they are roughly equal to lower in the US. I have no idea where you think this costs more, but I feel like this is a politicized statement taking averages and applying them to a subset of people who have the necessary affluence where the transition makes sense. Increased medical costs which impact uninsured or underinsured people in the US basically don't exist for tech workers who have high-quality employer-paid medical benefits in the US, as a simple example where this line of reasoning is flawed.

Social safety nets are something that only really matters to people who think they may end up using those social safety nets. People are often wrong about this, but that's just how people think. A lot of the affluent people who see themselves becoming more affluent in the US clearly understand it's partly due to not having to cover the social safety net for others. Actions speak louder than words.

2. and 3. I don't understand your "what?". In regards to #2 and #3, there's a massive difference in lifestyle and freedom of choice in your daily life when you own a sizeable single-family home on a city outskirts or in a suburb vs live in an apartment in the middle of a city. Each of these has pros and cons and attracts different people at different stages of their life. Meaningfully, the sizeable single-family home on the outskirts is mostly out of reach for people in Europe, even highly skilled individuals who would be solidly middle class in the US. This is only one of the myriad differences in lifestyle and freedom and how it affects daily life for someone living in both places.

A simple example from my own life, is that a good friend of mine moved near me from Germany because we both have a shared interest in racing cars. While Germany has fantastic things like the Nurburgring where you can simply drive on during open days to the public, TUV regulations and the significant increased costs of components, as well as difficulty in owning enough property to have space to work on your own cars makes it a lot more difficult to be a serious hobbyist gearhead in Germany vs the US. Here, he has a decent sized single-family home with a 3-car garage with high ceilings and a lift, as well as easy low-cost access to 6 race tracks within a one day drive, all at a fraction of his salary.

Obviously, YMMV and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. I loved Europe, but I came back to the US after many visits and living in Europe on a temporary residency for a year, largely for many of these same reasons myself. My sample set may be biased, but the Grandparent asked why some Europeans want to move to the US, I'm just sharing the reasons which were expressed to me. You may disagree with them in your own personal opinion, but it doesn't change that these are reasons which matter to some people.
FTC, 47 states file suits to break up Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook
This isn't hard to find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_20... has over 500 references. The senate committee report was over 1300 pages. The evidence is readily available and as well documented as you could expect. At a certain point, the onus is on you to provide refutations on why what exists doesn't meet your impossibly high bar.
I could get behind this if the current ones actually followed regulation. FB are so entrenched that they don't have to follow the rules as they've demonstrated with Cambridge Analytica among a myriad of other issues with their platform.
Ugh, yeah Facebook probably bought Oculus thinking:

-What if a lot of people use these in the future

-What if they're really comfy when they get slim, and people use them all the time, even for essentially web browsing.

-Later models can easily have internal and mouth facing cameras so you can smile at people in VR

-Let's intimately observe the finest twitch of every expression felt by our users, peering deep into their minds, learning more about how to manipulate and destroy humans than anyone ever thought possible.
