There is a clear and obvious path to implementing Manifest V3 in a way that best serves users overall and this path involves working with the uBlock Origin team/gorhill and the concerns they've brought up with the change. Until that happens I refuse to believe any train of thought that this is a user focused change and not a ad revenue focused change. To be clear that it has some benefit to users that can be pointed out does not make the change user focused in the same way putting a solar cellphone charger on a cargo ship doesn't make it environmentally friendly.

It'd be a different discussion if this was presented as an ad revenue focused change but it's presented as if it's user focus and the community is driving the direction of how it's implemented. Clearly this is not the case, in a conveniently true way, and it'd be such a simple thing to clear up. Even if the uBlock Origin team ends up saying "hmm, we really all got together and thought about it and there was nothing else to change that couldn't impact user privacy significantly" at least it removes the divide and controversy.

Throwing references from companies with shady practices that exclude Google ads from their blocking does nothing to show a willingness to work with developers on what's best for users, in fact it makes the situation look even more shady.

I don't know if gorhill reads HN but on the off chance he does thank you for your work.
Do cars count as hardware? People spend a lot on those.
Why hasn't evidence for any of this appeared in lawsuits filed by the president's campaign? Why have the many lawsuits they have filed been so easily dismissed by the courts, often with prejudice?

It's a con. And you're the mark.
Or, if the Oculus becomes the most popular VR equipment, think about the advertising can be shown to people in VR Chat rooms, VR films, virtual cinemas..... all bound to a single company.
More obscure phones might not have support, but that doesn't mean they can't be opened with more effort.

When off, you're relying on the strength of the FDE passphrase and whatever key strengthening they implemented, and that the OS didn't leave some key fragments somewhere (accidentally on flash, which would be very bad, or remanent in memory if it has only been off for a short period).

Using a long alphanumeric (>12 random, >20 passphrase), not installing random apps, keeping it patched and keeping it powered down is probably the best you can do. I wouldn't use the baseband comms if I could avoid it, just a huge 4G attack surface.
Again, if it is ever worth knowing about, I'm sure I'll know about it eventually. Meanwhile, good luck in your crusade or whatever.
Here's the Railties diff if anyone needs:

> To anyone willing to invest a few hours of his time, he'll find it's quite obvious this election was rife with fraud.

And yet none of the president's lawyers have actually brought forth even 1 claim of fraud before a judge, despite their rhetoric. Every time when actually in court, they have shied away from claiming accusations of fraud.

So no, not only is it not obvious that the election was rife with fraud, it is in fact extremely obvious that no real amount of fraud has taken place at all (only using "real amount" instead of "any at all" because I'm certain that you'll find 1 or maybe 2 people somewhere who have stolen maybe a dozen votes).
I'm not particularly interested in what the law says. Leave that to the lawyers :)

As a voter/citizen it would be great if we had reasonable expectations about our what these services are and how we should set our own expectations for censorship. The platform/publisher spectrum is an easy jumping off point for a casual discussion.

Where is "Youtube" on this spectrum? What stops Youtube from marking all content associated with a particular religion/political party/national origin "otherwise objectionable"?

Many questions. I can state that as a citizen I view Youtube as a platform that should take a minimal approach to censorship. I view the attempts to control what the "plebians/proles" believe as excessively paternalistic and likely to be unhelpful. If the censorship causes these people to visit more radical sources of information then who is to blame when they get further radicalized? At least Youtube has washed their hands of the situation.
"Note that the control group in this case doesn't have to be a placebo group, because it's too obvious if someone has taken a powerful drug."

It's not, actually. I've heard interviews with researchers in other MDMA studies saying that there were subjects who were absolutely convinced they got MDMA, and acted like they were on it, but when the double-blind study was over it was revealed that they didn't.

Never underestimate the power of placebos or of the human mind.
Rural California north of Sacramento is similar to those places and a lot of no mask wearing also. It is a large portion of the state. Check out a map to get a good feel. Texas is big, but California is not far behind.

Rejecting progressivism or meliorism of course doesn't place someone outside that window of acceptability by itself. It depends on what a person is clinging onto.

And I think it's still fair for a person to claim tolerance of a wide range of viewpoints while rejecting positions that are bigoted or deemed unacceptable.

For someone who rejects meliorism, what moment in human history is the correct frame for evaluating the world? Many social or religious conservatives positions today often overlook that certain perspectives they hold now were unacceptable a century ago. The use of contraceptives being one example.
The website indeed looks amazing! Somehow in my mind this was only for ROS... Is the support for MQTT and ZeroMQ something new?
The fusion with Brown Boveri was like you say a fusion, not an acquisition. The HQ needs to be somewhere, but ABB is apart from that about as much Swedish as Swiss. Asea was one of the companies within the influence of the Wallenberg family and their company Investor were as of 2015 the largest individual shareholder of ABB.

I'd agree with you in theory, but in practice, those API endpoints end up being exploit vectors for data leakage in various ways - either through actual security vulns or through the security vulnerability that exists between the monitor and the chair.

Photo hosting might have been the biggest immediate change back in 2012, but since then there have been a lot of features added to IG that share a lot with FB. You've probably seen things like recommendations of people to follow in IG based on FB Pages that you've liked, etc. And video streaming infrastructure is shared, and that's much more complicated than photos.
Why should YouTube have a megaphone to give in the first place? Last I checked, there are still laws on the books to handle companies with >90% market shares. [0]

Not that we can verify, but his interview states he is and further intends to spend material time in admin. He represented having been heavily involved in GigaBerlin up to this point.
Antitrust could care if other social networks were unfairly disadvantaged because everyone was using the Facebook account that came with their Oculus.

Having an entry in Facebook’s users table is a long way from using Facebook for your social networking to the exclusion of competitors.
And yet not for collusion[0]

>The report was the culmination of two years of investigation by Mr Mueller which saw some of the president's closest former aides prosecuted and, in some cases, imprisoned, although not on charges related to the alleged Russian collusion.

I am glad that we investigated and charged people with crimes that they would have otherwise gotten away with but if the same standard was applied the investigation would have been shutdown as a conspiracy.

I cannot believe you consider sexually abusing children a freedom you need to give up. Same for creating panic in a crowded room. Jesus, at least come up with better examples, like playing your instrument full volume at midnight, running naked in the street or taking a bath in a public fountain (well that is permitted in some places)
It runs about 80% of the internet, as you know it. Not much desktop usage, but almost all servers.
The lawsuit is about Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram effectively roping in users from other platforms into their advertising ecosystem. The monetisation of your data in exchange for adverts can be seen as the cost of the platforms. By aggressively increasing advertising on Instagram and attempting to take steps to monetize WhatsApp, Facebook are raising prices. As far as I understand the question is whether it is their abuse of monopoly power that allows them to do this.

For a time people had few alternatives to Instagram or Facebook, which were effectively in competition with each other. This meant that has Facebook monetised your data more, ie increase prices, users were forced to pay if they wanted to stay on a popular social network.

TikTok is a recent phenomenon. Secondly it is not enough to consider the UX cost of switching to another platform but also the network effect. Is Mewe/Parker/Gab really a substitute for me if I don’t enjoy the network effects I have on Facebook or Instagram?
No, you're misinformed. The (Federal) Supreme Court rejected the Pennsylvania case unanimously.
The POTUS makes claims which have no evidence backing them, which is why he keeps losing over and over again in court.

Why should any random claim be called a "proof"? Should flat earth videos get the same equivalent as NASA programming?

Why should we, as society, give equal weight to people like yourself who have "no interest in doing that research"?
I get the feeling you're European. Language is a massive barrier and simply hand-waving that away by claiming that internationalisation is cheap is silly. Language drives a whole host of things and operating in several languages is far from easy. You are also being very generous with claiming that most folks in Europe are bilingual. They may have basic knowledge of multiple languages but can likely function fully in only one. The generations below 30 are likely to be almost completely bilingual. Look at Belgium for example. How many Flemish people can function in French and vice versa?

The fact that the US operates entirely with the global lingua franca is a gigantic advantage that can crush competition before it even begins.

The unified marketplace is one problem but look at what has already been done - EU labour is free to move. Degrees are almost always mutually recognised. What stops further integration? It ultimately boils down to language. This is why a Greek doctor can't just move to Germany. Also why a Spanish lawyer can't easily move to Sweden. Language is a much bigger problem than people here seem to think.
Most of there APIs are for preferred partners only, see for example their ecommerce, whatsapp or events apis, almost nothing can be accessed by a programmer working on his own.
I hope others will chime in with followup sources, but if you want a book for historical background The Idea Factory covers the creation of the transistor and touches upon Shockley, the Traitorous Eight, and Fairchild Semiconductor which is sort of the inception of the US semiconductor industry. It's not exactly the focus of the book, but everything it covers is tied together.
That limit is just a red herring, they will bump it up at some point as a gesture of good will to drown out voices of valid opposition against the removal of blocking webRequest API. Its the classic Magicians look at my right hand move, while the left one is crushing little bird and pocketing its remains.
Google doesn't enjoy any sort of monopoly in any kind of video content. I don't think your argument is very coherent.
I've read your links but somehow it feels you haven't read mine as they offer later rebuttals to your sources.

You may insist that Rubio said something about the report is an official source but his words are contradicted by the report itself.

But ok I'll concede your following point that relies on "collusion" and "government" : the report didn't find "evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election."

You are not addressing the central point of the SIC volume 5 report: Trump and his campaign engaged in criminal and unethical activity with Russian ex-spies, agents run by Russia and oligarchs.
The other more difficult issue (and was my personal one) is when you lean on drugs (opiates in my case) to try and solve unsolvable issues.

That’s a recipe for addiction, more so than anything else.
That was not my experience when I lived in rural Washington State. Nor did I get that sense in New Hampshire.
The two-party political dynamic depends upon hegemonizing more than 50% of the electorate by providing the least offensive political narrative and ideological pretext.

T's effectiveness has been through manipulating that ideological pretext beyond campaign politics and beyond the requirement of even narrative cohesion with reality. He wields his populism to coerce even the interests of power themselves, with little regard for the overall homeostasis of Republican party's ideological pretext[0].

If he continues his ideological schism off-the-rails from an oval room at Mar-A-Lago, he has the precisely the same leverage in 2022 elections which he is wielding today.

Thankfully you're not owed an explanation of what someone deems to be a significantly better option to another.
"The idea that half the population has lost its mind while you have retained a perfect grasp of reality is unlikely."
> Second, the US has a lower incidence of homeless people than many countries with much more generous social programs

US have 17/100k of population, Italy has 8.

We are not famous for being big on personal responsibility.

> Japanese homeless are very very homeless

They are 0.3/100k of population though or roughly 56 times less than US.

At that level the problem is solved, not completely, but at least the number the country has to deal with is manageable.

If US had the same share of homeless people of Italy (and they could do muuuuuuch better than us) they would have half of the homeless population.

Which is a radical improvement if you ask me.

> Third, the homeless rate in the US has been on the decline for decades.

Is it?

According to the stats it increased from 2018 onwards from previous years

Related to the article: I noticed a lot of style like nits that ESLint didn't cover, but also weren't necessarily worth pausing and writing an entire ESLint rule for.

So I wrote checkr: https://github.com/ELanning/checkr which lets people plugin simple ad-hoc regex check lints (and underlines them in VS Code + git pre-commit check).

Hopefully to help break the endless cycle of code review nits that may be specific to your project.
> MAGA amirite?

No, you're not. When was TPP going to involve China, or the UAA? In fact, TPP could just as well be used to avoid other types of punitive tariff. foei also opposed TPP [0], does that mean they are oppose labour-law improvements too?

And why are you so confident TPP would help with labour laws anyway? What said, and what's done across international borders often differs a lot. Blaming Trump as if something was lost is pretending there where ever guarantees of success.

Claiming some complex legislation would "have helped with" poor foreign labour laws while actively benefitting them anyway is pretty weak.

1. No, I would expect people filling out a mail-in ballot for the first time to get it wrong (and thus have the ballot rejected) more often than people who have done it before. This would track with previous elections, where first-time mail-in voters are more likely to have their ballots invalidated.

Protections on mail-in ballots have unambiguously been reduced this election - many states skipped signature validation, for instance. This may be acceptable, but IMO should not have been implemented due to being easy fodder for conspiracy theorists. Yes, the mere appearance of illegitimacy is reason enough to not do something when it comes to potentially contested elections.
Just because you and they repeat it doesn't make it true. If he had findings, that is the news, and if no outlet is publishing them, they must not warrant attention.
It can be very tricky. In my case I got a rescue puppy, 5 months old. Didn't have any shots. And wasn't spayed - and we couldn't due to her state - got to us full of all kinds of parasites and malnourished, not to mention the previous "owner" left the poor thing locked up in a dark garage ALL DAY, plus punishments whenever the dog would poop.

Needless to say, there were issues. Still, we were lucky that family members had pets (all sorts of pets), so we could socialize in a controlled environment.

Now we got a well-adjusted pet (minus some separation anxiety issues we have managed to control, but not eliminate). That is, well-adjusted, provided there's enough exercising :)
"It's weird to me that we still have people that still cling to the idea that censorship and curation of content is always evil and every site on the Internet should allow completely unmoderated speech, when we've seen over and over and over that such sites always devolve into festering echo-chambers of hatred and racism. Always. Every time."

I'd find your comment much more interesting if you actually argued against the OP's point rather than this strawman.
Oh yeah, estimated time for pickups are usually way too conservative. Most of the time, I will show up 5-10 minutes after ordering (basically I hop in my car as soon as I order) and I can almost always walk away with my food right away or within a few mins.

Companies record their employees all the time, in order to have evidence for when they raise an issue with them.

I understand why they feel threatened when this sort of thing is turned around on them, though.
This case seems like a really stupid way to try to do some consumer protection versus writing laws that do it directly.

I’m still confused as to which “market” is harmed: advertisers? Facebook users? other social networks?

If the market is Facebook users, what’s the precedent in asserting this level of harm to a market that consists substantially of non-paying users of an inessential service?
Facebook has been preparing for this for years:

- cross-app communication between Messenger and Instagram

- Messenger API enabling business communication on Instagram

- ad management for Instagram and Facebook through a centralized platform

- WhatsApp business accounts linking to Facebook accounts

- Facebook shopping in-app in WhatsApp

These are all small and there are many more examples, but an overarching theme is to integrate FB's products as much as possible. It's not only to increase adoption and revenue, but also to make them appear inseparable.
Wow, everyone doesn't like doordash here.

> the UK has been against any kind of concerted efforts by the EU which might go further than the single market for as long as they were a member.

yes, you make your industry stronger by protecting it from competition by providing it with taxpayer subsidy... right?
It's not difficult, exactly, but there are only so many ways to do it well.

You can, of course, just start writing different notes, which sounds jarring. There is a whole theory of "voice leading"[1] which provides a toolbox of nice-sounding ways to get from key to key, with various emotional and textural elements attached to each.

(Some if it, I note, is called "Neo-Riemannian theory"[1], which does in fact relate to geometry but is wholly unrelated to Bernhard Riemann.)

You don't actually need any of that theory. You can just compose by ear. And some of that theory has been known since the Middle Ages. But the "classical" era composers worked very hard on pushing the state of that art -- some of which can now be autosuggested by composing software. Which is especially nice when you're doing it for an entire 100+ piece orchestra.

Hyundai is a South Korean chaebol (sort of like a conglomerate). While it was ostensibly restructured into "independent" groups a while back, let's just say that, in practice, they're not really independent in the western sense.

In addition to building cars and trucks, Hyundai does the following:

* building construction (everything from homes to office and factories)

* civil engineering (bridges, dams, shipyards, etc.)

* trains of various kinds

* military vehicles, including tanks

* construction equipment (cranes, etc.)

* manufacturing equipment (furnaces, presses, etc)

* shipbuilding (both civilian and military)

* shipping

* offshore oil rigs

* powerplants and electrical grid equipment

* has a large retail department store chain

* insurance

* chemicals and plastics

* lighting

and, of course...

robots (currently just industrial and medical)

They would've had competition.

Whatsapp has other competitors currently. Telegram and Viber come readily to mind, and I am certain there are other services that I'm not aware of, the old fart that I am.

Whatsapp was incredibly popular in most of the underdeveloped world, where it became the de facto messaging app because of the low data requirements and ubiquitousness (and probable subsidies via the ISP provider). This was prior to FB buying them. Out of my group of contacts, the Telegram app notified me over the past year that roughly 2 dozen have signed up for it, e.g. That's another (albeit anecdotal) sign.

I understand the antagonism toward FB/Whatsapp/Instagram, given the consolidation of social networks within the purview of one entity, but not a single one of those services is a monopoly.

Could very well be I don't understand the intricacies of the law, and such consolidation is perhaps illegal for the betterment of society, but I'm not convinced that's the case still. Microsoft, for example, was accused of monopolistic behavior because they had enough power to pressure manufacturers to bundle IE with the OS. No such thing is happening in this situation. IANAL, but that's my simplistic take on it.

I stand to be corrected.
