>5 big problems with Texas' bid to overturn Biden's win at the Supreme Court

>"This case is hopeless," said SCOTUSblog publisher Tom Goldstein, who argues frequently before the court.

Read it yourself, because I'm not summarizing it for you, since you're not arguing in good faith, just trying to waste people's time.

After you read that, can we both agree on the fact that Trump is a pathetic sore loser, who has absolutely no chance of overturning the election, which Joe Biden won fair and square, and by Trump's own definition and words, won it in a "massive landslide" (except that Biden ALSO won the popular vote, which Trump LOST both times)?

>Biden On Track For What Trump Once Called ‘Massive Landslide’ Electoral College Victory

>Democratic candidate Joe Biden is on track to win the presidency, but if he wins in all the states where he’s currently ahead, the victory won’t even be close by some peoples’ standards: namely, President Donald Trump’s standards.

>Biden leads Trump in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Nevada, which, along with Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and the rest of the states that have been called for him, would give him exactly 306 electoral votes.

>If that number seems familiar, it’s because Trump won that same number of electoral votes in 2016 after capturing Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan himself, even as he lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.

>In an interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace in Dec. 2016, Trump dismissed a question about Russian interference in the election by boasting “we had a massive landslide victory, as you know, in the electoral college, I guess the final number is 306 and [Clinton] is down to a very low number.”

>Two of Trump’s electors ended up defecting in 2016, along with five of Clinton’s, giving him 304 to her 227, which he tweeted was a “MASSIVE (304-227) Electoral College landslide victory!”

>Biden is also on track to win the popular vote by an even larger margin than Clinton did: he currently leads by over 4 million votes, nearly 3 points, according to the New York Times.

If anything the extremist view is that publishing secret details about a vaccine should be a crime. The only one who benefits from not publishing them is the vaccine company in expense of everyone else.

Regarding "extremist absolutist views", would you consider entities like the FSF, GNU, and wikileaks to be extremist and absolutist?

As for "being pedantic about a word", I would say that it is not just penancy but rather a complaint about the presentation by the Reuters, in the style of "the evil russian hackers stole vaccine secrets" vs "the heroic security experts published vaccine secrets to the world".

If you have an issue with what these users posted, wouldn't it be better to directly respond to them as to why you disagree rather than dismiss them as extremist lunatics?
Presumably you can pay visa's customers with cash as well as using Visa and perhaps Mastercard? Possibly even Discover or even Diner's Club (is that still a thing?)
I am not sure the analogy holds up.
I am assuming merchants are the customers here. You can offer "rewards points" or other mechanisms of remuneration to Visa card holders.
I think Brave is a useful proof of concept for an unproven business model but I agree it's an uphill battle. Consumers need to own the data we create. We should be able to monetize it how we see fit with whatever technology partners make us the best offers. The fact that tech companies own our data is hopefully a very temporary (in the grand scheme of things) mistake we can correct with new laws.

Content providers don't get to dictate what happens on my computer just because I accessed data from an HTTP server they made available to me. If I want Braze to replace their ads, that's my choice.

I actually don't want it, but this argument that Braze is doing something wrong is stupid and ridiculous.

This is 100% false. The opt-in ads are not injected into the page.
I just tried a few things. Sharing notes here incase anyone wants an overview. I tried visiting a few sites that had stories:

* https://nowthisnews.com/stories/paralympic-swimmer-builds-ma...

* https://www.lonelyplanet.com/stories/5-destinations-to-see-w...

What I don't see:

* I visited the home pages of those sites. I'm not sure how to open up stories if I were an internet user just passing by.

* I don't see a way to exit the stories experience other than clicking a link/article

* How to open a story from any web page on a desktop (It is called "Web Stories" so I assumed a few things)

> as with javascript, Brendan Eich appears to be channeling technology up from the depths of hell. I wonder if he created the prototype in a 10-day fit of a fever dream as well.

This made me laugh! But hyperbole aside, this premise would seem to (by nature of efficient laziness) eventually result in people spam watching ads with bots - despite any ways of preventing this, people will find a way.
For those recommending that you stay at your job while creating your game... Some companies have fairly strict contracts regarding "moonlighting" and doing things on the side. In certain cases, the company might be able to own your game even if you don't use company assets to build it. So before you try to do this, make sure to discuss it with a lawyer to avoid unpleasant surprises.
> You are mixing things together that don't belong together.

But they do belong together, don't they? I mean, they are all under attack by facts-denying militant groups fueled by anti-intellectual propaganda.

> Covid is very new and scientific discussion is still ongoing. There is no consensus.

That's no excuse to intentionally deny facts and information already established on the disease. And no, just because a militant group actively denies and rejects facts that doesn't make them disputed nor does it means there is no consensus.

> It's not simply a matter of exposure to YouTube videos.

This is not about youtube or twitter or sneaker net. This is about people actively disseminating and consuming propaganda and disinformation. The shit is the same even if you switch spoons.
Some subreddits, I've noticed (depending on their nature) have days specified for things that might otherwise be more aggressively moderated like fan-art or self-promotion adjacent content.
None of those inefficiencies are unique to government agencies. They all happen in the private sector two but you don't hear about them because corporations are not subject to an open records act. And that "oh but the free market will ensure inefficient companies fail" response some are about the write is total bs. Companies fail for all kinds of reasons, inefficiency is just one of several things and not always deadly to a corporation.
Maybe it’s time that society reduces full time work hours from 40 hours per week, to 24 hours per week.

6 hours per day, 4 days per week. 24 hours per week total.

Or 8 hours per day, and 3 days per week. Then you have a 4 day weekend.

Anything more, is regarded as overtime.

Then those that do want to get ahead, can work the remaining 16 hours on a separate job.

Software automation, mechanization, and robotics, have reduced the need for manual drudgery. And farms are highly mechanized to mass produce raw foodstuffs.

The corporations should be competing against themselves, to work for us, the citizens, that makes their profits possible. Instead of just competing to take a bigger piece of the pie, and to hoard it all for themselves.

It’s time that we as a society, begin to think differently.
Selling attention is what twitter, facebook, google, and co do. They just don't name it "attention token" and they don't give you anything for yours. Brave pays for your attention with "BAT", and you have to opt-in for it. Once you have BAT then you can pay it forward however you see fit - for most frequently visited sites, for sites you chose manually, for git-hub commits, individual reddit comments, etc (Brave has separate buttons near those). Or you can decide to keep it for yourself.

I am pretty sure it is a massive improvement over the current way of doing things. Sure Brave would get a big cut because of being in the middle of this. But it manages to use ads in a way that profits everyone: users, content creators, ad companies, and Brave themselves.
> They do, in fact, appear to have the money.

$5.4 billion is indeed a huge number but gives no information as to the availability of the $1.5 million. Without knowing what the cost is of what they must accomplish with the $5.4 billion no conclusions can be drawn.

Many digital nomads do this throughout Southeast Asia.

I’m not sure I would recommend it, though. Proximity to customers (assuming US/EU market) and angels/VCs is worth something, and I would suggest that it is worth a lot.

I will also add that when you factor in plane tickets, visa runs, etc., it is probably easier and just as affordable to find a cheap place to stay in your home country.

If you’re bootstrapping a business, especially if you have some tie to Asia like manufacturing or labor (e.g., “virtual” assistants), then the digital nomad option may be better. But for a VC-trajectory business, I somehow doubt it.

The point is just to get some traffic somehow so you can check whether anyone wants to play the game you’re about to spend tons of time and money on. Ads are a simple way to drive some traffic. If you can’t get clicks or sign ups, you will save yourself a really bad time by figuring that out before starting to build, and iterating to a better concept/pitch that is validated by real potential users.

And yeah a prototype video sounds like a great way to test people’s enthusiasm.
"Invasive" matters little when so few will likely buy such a half-baked product. $100 while Amazon tries to tweek the algorithms to make this actually work? Meh, experiment on someone else's dime, Amazon. That whole voice analysis thing, as described, sounds like some half-assed version of Eliza. I'm skeptical enough of the body fat readings one might get from a weight scale, so it's going to take some convincing (which TFA does not do) to get me to believe body fat % can be deduced from photos of me in my underwear.

But on top of everything else, the WA Post article doesn't describe anything that makes it worth buying the Amazon product over a bazillion other products that cost just a bit more (or even the same or less, I don't follow the market that much).

But for a real dystopia we do have quite some freedom and wealth.

(That means, if the lockdowns go away at some point. If not, well, then yes. Total dystopia. Everything private total restricted, only corporate and state buisness allowed. Peoples private life only exist in virtual realities)

edit: everything is relative. I was born in east germany. A state where I would not have been allowed to openly say my opinion, or drive 30 km with my bycicle to the west or south, from where I live, as I would have been arrested or literally shot back then. Pretty dystopian in comparison. Also, people in north korea can say something today, about what dystopian feels like. That means, no they cannot, while they are there.
> Wikipedia page about the editor

FWIW this is the top result on DuckDuckGo and Searx, and on the latter most of the first screenful of results are about the editor (all if you count https://vi-editor.com/). Interestingly the first screenful of searx results all come from DDG (the next has many from reddit), but the pages are definitely different.

Edit: and on Startpage! So apparently your results may just be the result of Google trying to create a personalized filter bubble for you.

One word: Persistence!

I have realised that too many people quit early and yet it is clear that their ideas are good. I hope many are inspired by this story, I know I was... inspired to keep on fighting.

Innuendo isn't an argument, it is a rather weak cover for the fact that insufficient evidence means evidence nobody cares about.

The only people I've seen bringing the Russia stuff up for the last year have been right wingers in a told-you-so style. It was a political dud because there was nothing there. The Muller report was so weak when Trump was impeached it was for a completely different made-up scandal.

And based on the Democrat response to the 2020 elections, it seems that under the Trump presidency has seen the voting system secured beyond all reproach. Without anyone making any actual changes for the better as far as I can tell. The whole thing was always frivolous.
Honestly, if Brave made sure that no BAT was spent on websites that haven't joined their program, I'd consider it an improvement over the existing ad-supported internet.

As it stands, their system is just a crypto implementation of Flattr that site authors never asked to participate in.
Yes, but the marketplace sucks. Little has improved in the 30 year history of the web.

We need a better way of assessing what is and isn't clickbait.

I'd also like to pay a la carte. I'm not buying 15 different website subscriptions.
> …which has its own track record of subtle website breakage, something that is difficult to notice and impossible to mitigate short of disabling this globally. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice that this exists, but it’s disabled by default for a reason. There are no silver bullets here.

If Firefox had bigger marketshare, that breakage would magically turn into bugs in the broken websites.
Yeah this has been my take on them as well.

They position themselves as a user focused privacy company, but they’re not really.

They’re just trying to insert themselves as the middleman selling attention in place of the ads.

It keeps the same problem and bad incentives that the ad model has and still involves tracking behavior.

I get that they’re trying to come up with some model that does the same monetizing that ads do without the ads (and of course inserting themselves in the middle of that to capture all that ad revenue).

I think a true focus on users would block all ads and tracking. If this leads to the ad supported model collapse causing business failure that’s good - it creates a space for competition in the for pay space again.

> It is without consent and it is without user control

How is that true? If you don't visit X site then X site can't fingerprint you. I'd say technically it's the user's fault if they run random code on their computer and using a browser that sends this information back to the fingerprinting party.

I'd say most of the best sites of the internet could be read just fine w/o Javascript or even with just wget.

If someone made an application that downloaded web pages and executed the contents with SUDO privileges, would I be exploiting someone if my website was 'rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'?
There's a difference between defense in depth and bureaucracy.

One recent example I saw was prioritizing the re-evaluation of a system that is low impact and limited access over the remediation of issues on a widely accessible system, only because the low impact evaluation was going to be out of tolerance sooner and therefore look bad on report cards.
> The worst case is that content creators turn into traffic farms with click bait titles and shallow content.

That's basically the case now. Most content by volume on the web is click bait farms littered with Ads.

At least Brave and BAT make it more of a transaction between you and the advertiser. The advertiser now pays you for your attention to their ad, rather than paying a third party to do their best to trick you into viewing the Ad.

I dislike Ads as much as the next person, I block ads, and when I tried brave I opted out of any Ads. But BAT does seem like a viable answer to the constant complain from "publishers" about how ad block is ruining their businesses.
This is very compelling. I humbly recommend that you spend 80% of your efforts in finding ways to market this. What's nice is, it is "viral" in that as people start sharing their music in this way, probably with others in the music scene, they will also get exposed to the product.\

Your tiers could use some work. Your basic aim is to discriminate between dirt poor student musician, professional or hobbyist individual freelancer, small businesses, and enterprise:

- The first free tier is good, but for the second one, I wouldn't give unlimited songboxes (I understand you're limiting by track de facto); as that feature should be saved for enterprise.

- You can charge a lot more as you go up, as you increase number of songbox, and bands supported (i.e. a set of songboxes).

- I wouldn't limit the # tracks much after the first paid tier, because it helps drive engagement and exposes your product further.

Also as a growth aim buy more domain names with an ultimate aim of songbox.com :)
Oh, hi! It's interesting to see clusters running on different operating systems.

Seeing Ubuntu on the scene is nice. From what can we see, our users can run their ML/DL loads relatively effortlessly on CentOS for some time.

Moreover, with GPU support on Docker, we guess that people will migrate to containers to run their loads so distribution will become irrelevant in the future.

Do you use IB on your nodes? If yes, is it easy to deploy the kernel modules?
I think it depends on art direction. A game with a solid artstyle designed for low resolution can be fine even if it doesn't really look the best, like alot of Nintendo games. But if the art style is riding on super high definition textures and eye candy then it can be really bad and jarring when it doesn't actually achieve that.
"Just like Facebook, etc, people who support/work for it are not without blame."

I'd hate to hear what you think of people who work in the energy sector, or textiles, or agriculture, or any of the other dozen industries that cause farm more social and environmental harm than AirBnB could ever hope to.
Those aren't mutually exclusive are they?

Eg lets say we have 100% privacy tomorrow. Some magical browser, 100% anonymous. That doesn't mean no one is going to try and have an ROI for published content on the internet.. producers still want to get paid for content and/or products, and consumers still want to avoid paying.

So yay we got privacy, but what is the next step? You said it, finding new ways to value attention - or more specifically adjusting monetization to this new anonymous reality.

Not that i'm defending BAT here at all - just that the idea of both respecting privacy and paying content creators are not mutually exclusive.

The internet doesn't exist without cash flow, simply put. And no one wants to pay.. so....

(note: i do want to pay, but i'm the minority - imo. "Free to Play Internet" reigns supreme)
