Do you work 9-5?

It’s actually not about time but about energy levels.

To be able to accomplish this, you setup your life to have maximal energy level balance throughout the day.

For me that meant to unfortunately leave my girlfriend at home almost every evening the past year to get a few hours in almost everyday until I was done.

This also included eating the same food (ready made from Lidl) everyday and just saying no to everything and everyone all the time.

I also recommend that you try to take as little responsibility you can at work and perhaps working from home if possible, where you then use half the day for your own stuff.

One of the few benefits of this lifestyle/endeavour is that you have an income while trying your startup idea.
Meh, from the article, they didnt actually veto any specific privacy proposal, just a change to who can veto something on privacy grounds. I feel like that is pretty different from what the title implied.
!false

It's funny because it's true.
I'd switch to firefox but it is noticeably slower loading facebook and twitter, the sites I go to most often, and I trust it only like 25% more than chrome. :/
It was unclear to me if that meant that Google somehow had special powers. Seems like it’s just how that org functions.
This is precisely why I'm so disappointed in Microsoft for choosing Chromium for Edge. This only gives Google more power to run roughshod over user privacy. I would've much rather seen them adapt WebKit or Gecko for Edge. Chromium doesn't need to be any more powerful.

At least will still have Firefox and WebKit to prevent Google from having total reign over user piracy on the web.
Yeah I really feel like I need at least 1.5 hours to get in the deep critical thinking zone, where I can start really doing meaningful work. However, it's hard to find the time to do that
“country” and “sovereignty” are indeed terms of political gamesmanship with no clear definition.

The difference between a country, an alliance, a confœderation, and a fœderation is as meaningless as the difference between a language family, and a language.
Genuinely curious, how is Brave "more privacy-focused and less politics-focused" than Mozilla Firefox?
I'm not sure. To me it implies a special power other members don't have.
Your sister grew up with you and went through the same schooling as you.

Doesn't she deserve to be heard? By labeling her a antivaxer and ignoring her based on that label you effectively are closing your mind to her.
^ that.
Actually, the major driver of pushback against these diagnoses in foster care in my experience is former foster children, who object to having been diagnosed with these conditions for what they feel was perfectly reasonable behavior. But yes, let's jump to a conspiracy theory about bad social workers instead.

It seems that you are attempting to argue something completely different to your original claims, and I'm not interested in trying to follow you and your goalposts.
In the early 90s, games were a more offline social experience. You would buy some games and your friends would buy others and then play together or pass them around so everyone could have a wider variety of games to play.
However, you must keep in mind that BAT is brave’s profit motive. Google only rejected the proposal because of money, you can’t expect brave to stay angelic in behavior forever.
I realize a ton of the taste of food comes from context, which really does matter and can lead to more enjoyable food, but I'd still like to see a blind taste test in such a situation.
That occurred a few years later
I see the distinction you are making, but there are many people (here especially) whose definition of "compromised" is not limited to malware (or whose definition of "malware" is not limited to what is happening with TGS).
Can someone elaborate on what was actually vetoed? Article mentions `charter change for the Privacy Interest Group (PING)` not clear for me what it means
The title seems a bit misleading. If I read this right, Google didn't veto a privacy proposal- it veto'd giving an interest group within the WC3 "the ability to block any new technical specification that it felt would have negative implications for web privacy."

It's still probably bad, I'm quite prepared to believe the spirit of the headline (that google is anti-privacy), but it doesn't seem like this is a case of google directly hurting privacy in web standards.
"Inertial. Magnetic will be more inefficient at higher power levels, because a particle you haven't discovered yet will dampen the reaction if you use magnetic confinement. Ultimately it's because the string coupling parameters for the 3rd-dimension/8th-dimension interaction are stronger than for the 5th-dimension/7th-dimension interaction". It's an explanation that looks like probable made-up baloney, but can you be sure? Can you (or anyone) disprove it?
Per the article, this wasn't about a standard. Afaict it was a proposal to change who has veto power at w3c.
I do find it rather fitting that Google, of all companies, would take issue with ethical oversignt standing in the way of technical "progress", which was their specious argument for their veto. That essentially describes their entire corporate MO.

Their veto being interpreted as anti-privacy is one thing, but their reasoning for the veto is, in my view, even worse. In attempting to steer the conversation away from their anti-privacy stance, they drove straight into a wall of "any kind of ethics in software should be an afterthought". Not good.
I mean, econ 101 says rent control (along with blocking new construction) will hinder people who can produce more (economic) value from moving in and replacing their less productive counterparts. Econ 101 is often naive and wrong, but it should be the default prior you work from unless you have a compelling case to the contrary. That is, you shouldn't be looking for resources that make the case for an unregulated rent market, the burden of proof should be on the people who want to regulate rent, and I have never seen a compelling refutation of the naive econ 101 view for rent control (in the case of SF and other tech hubs that I presume HN is most interested in).
You should change text Color on that title and subtitle (at least on mobile). Contrast is too low.
Brave puts advertising on new blank tabs, by default.
It also makes for inefficient infrastructure expenditures or poor quality of service.
It seems to be unwritten law of all societies that they will eventually splinter into factions and self destruct. This is perhaps the greatest threat that humans have ever faced, and possibly one that we will never solve.

Humans just seem fundamentally incapable of living without conflict, even to the extent of creating vast conspiracy theories like QAnon to have something to be enraged about.

Recent months have been a wake up call for me that the United States could go the way of Rome or countless other historical superpowers, and it might even be inevitable. I just hope it doesn’t happen during my lifetime.
First of all, I've never heard of PING.

Second:

> Concerned that web privacy issues were being routinely ignored by many working groups of the W3C, the Privacy Interest Group sought to expand its charter, such that it would have the ability to block any new technical specification that it felt would have negative implications for web privacy.

This wasn't just that Google "vetoed" a new privacy standard, they actually just vetoed the group's ability to "veto" future standards.

Everyone voted for it, except Google. And that was enough to block it.

Yeah, doing things like neglecting my girlfriend for my side project isn't something that I want to do, I personally think that isn't healthy for our relationship. Of course, everyone has a different kind of relationship so it can work for some people.

Was it worth it in the end for you?
Oh and this is what I worked on: https://Loodio.com
There are exceptions but I think that’s true in the same way people tell their doctor they eat well, exercise daily, and go to sleep on time every night — aspirational, almost certainly discounting the times it doesn’t happen as exceptions and ignoring the actual frequency. The most I’ve seen people consistently do is delay a little in case an update is pulled, and statistically nobody does the kind of analysis that you’d need to catch an unadvertised change.
But we always fill it up to maximum we can. Higher throughput means more ads and larger images, for example.

The more that can be fit in that 250ms or whatever it is, the more that will be fit into it.
I think this comment chain from yesterday presents both sides pretty well:

Lets not conflate voting no to something with hating democracy. If you aren't allowed to vote no, then you dont have a democracy
Are you asking me or ABeeSea?
Looks like they veto'd giving PING (an interest group within the W3C) veto power.

"Google was the only member of the W3C to vote “No” to a proposed charter change for the Privacy Interest Group (PING), a working group of the W3C dedicated to web privacy matters. Concerned that web privacy issues were being routinely ignored by many working groups of the W3C, the Privacy Interest Group sought to expand its charter, such that it would have the ability to block any new technical specification that it felt would have negative implications for web privacy. "
In reality what you call "filter bubbles" is how human existence was for our entire history before social media, even on the internet

IRC, Internet Forums, BBS' etc where all often topic centrist and heavily moderated by the community members of those communities. The "platforms" of those days where the underlying software and protocals not a for-profit company.

phpBB, vBullitien, freenode, etc etc etc

That was IMO the golden age of the internet. Modern Social Media "platforms" have brought about the Poo Age of the internet.

HN is somewhat of a throw back to that golden age as well

before the internet you had social clubs that were every topic driven, a Community Sports League, a car club, a motorcycle club, LAN parties for gaming, even In Person physical Linux Users groups....
I like the feigned dismay that somebody on HN would be pedantic.

As one commenter said last year, "This is HN. Pedantry is our job."

Brave is still Chromium if that is the argument.
> They’re saying (regardless of whether they’re correct) that the actual conception of the new work doesn’t seem like it required significant creative effort.

It's amusing how well this correlates with having little experience or background (this doesn't apply only to art). Not perfectly, but extremely highly correlated.

It's also often the case that people make these sorts of comments not after seeing the art itself, but after seeing a decription or low fidelity reproduction of it.
Ah, I was confused because it sounded like this was on a proposed privacy standard. Are the votes private, or is there a public webpage about the vote outcome?

The money quote:

Research by David H. Price, an anthropologist at Saint Martin’s University, shows that Woody and his colleagues also received money from the Society for the Investigation of Human Ecology, a CIA front that provided grants to scientists whose work might improve the agency’s interrogation techniques or act as camouflage for that work.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to give a group optimizing for one dimension veto power over my n-dimensional effort either. Single-issue voters can really gum up the works in a lot of different ways.
Is there news from a tech-familiar source?

Never mind. I was able to get the info from comments here. It makes sense to No this. Creation of these But First We Must Stamp things on proposals always stalls technical proposals. I'm on Google's side here.
Executing user-provided code isn't possible. f-strings must be literals, so there's no user-defined strings involved.

You could of course eval something the user provided, but there's no more of a risk with f-strings than there is with regular code.

This is addressed in PEP 498.
I thought Apple barred iMessages from being sent/retrieved outside of the specific iMessage app? How did you dodge that?
It is a genetics term of art that means "white people".

This is particularly important for Vitamin D, since the colour of your skin has a meaningful influence on Vitamin D production.

The research article says "Our results also cannot be used to comment on the relationship between vitamin D and COVID-19 in non-Europeans." - they take no stance for non-Europeans.

This reflects the common point that most medical/genetic data is sourced from Europe and North America: there often isn't enough data for People of Colour to accurately comment on points of racial difference, whether white people have been sourced deliberately or inadvertently.
They vetoed an otherwise-popular proposal to grant teeth to the privacy working group. That is worse than vetoing a single proposal. It comes off as Google preserving their ability to do whatever they want in the W3C.
Considering that Ubuntu is a superset of Debian, then yes you do see lots of debian production workloads

Personally, I used to support a $25m/yr business on a cluster of Debian servers, which itself supported about 1000 remote field installations, also running Debian.

Let me tell you, Debian was the least of my troubles in that job. It really did just work
Incredibly low power draw in the low end, which allows for more mobility and diverse sources of energy. Like if you could wear meaningful compute that is powered with body kinetic energy or some flexible solar thing, I think that unlocks computing to happen in many places with many physical and virtual things working in concert. ESP-32 on BLE sleep can sip tiny amounts of energy, but cannot do any meaningful compute, and a low top end speed. I want a chip that can burst to 5GHZ and rest at 0.05mha. That can make generating or streaming a massive bitrate from a wearable. Then you can do sick-ass offline-first edge compute and be able to drive one of these haptics devices, projectors, VR, whatever with a tiny machine or local cluster. Wearable k3s if you will. If you could drive any display from your person, with local and remote indexes and objects of everything you want or need, interfaces to people and things, replay of everything, totally offline as you want or need.

If it was fast enough, and didn’t require a whole backpack to drive and power it, then I think a computer like that would feel like a superpower.

Sadly, browser engines have become complicated enough, that an unfunded open source project is unsustainable after some time. In my opinion, Brave offers a new attempt to solve this (and other) problems with the modern web. I understand that not everybody likes this business model, but I think everybody has to decide on its own, which browser they want to use. After all, browser diversity is important.
This is roughly true for the difficulty of having an analytical community -

If long term stability is important to you, you should consider buying a condo. In my research, a condo is almost always positive NPV (relative to renting an apartment) after 24 months. That would solve your issue with getting priced out after a couple renewal cycles. The payment would be steady (sans any special assessments).
Ridicule is one of the more extreme tools scientists use in that social process to reach consensus about which hypotheses are plausible.

It is also a very sinister and discrediting tool. As an example the CRU employed this tactic and set an entire area of scientific research back due to the optics of scientific politics. It can cause the tainted smell of agenda, and that is never good for enlightening people.
He is wrong. 20 Mb/s is barely adequate. Pai's opinion may be informed by requirements that telcos and others provide "high speed internet" and they can only provide 3 Mb/s without making a considerable investment.

Raw speed is not the only issue. When I was living in "semi-rural" Montana, the constraint on performance had to do with the number of sessions. When the DSLAM ran out of session slots, a session was simply dropped in favor of the most recent one. Movie night became a nightmare of disjointed video fragments and irritating reconnects for everyone.
See standing rules 42 through 46 but in particular 44 (2) which reads

If any Member be suspended under paragraph (1) of this order, his suspension on the first occasion shall continue for five sitting days, and on the second occasion for twenty sitting days, including in either case the day on which he was suspended, but, on any subsequent occasion, until the House shall resolve that the suspension of such Member do terminate.

I believe this can only be done in response to a motion and vote. The authority to unilaterally order a member to withdraw is only for one day see 43. So you are correct.

I think zoning is against anarchy, but it seems to be supportive of a functioning market.

No one wants to build a house next to what could become an aluminum smelting operation or a pig farm. Zoning supports functioning real estate markets.
f-strings are so much faster that I've seen an increase in speed over %-formatting for logging. If there's even a 10% chance that a string will be actually logged (and therefore %-formatting will take place), I'll replace it with an f-string and not care about the deferred formatting.
Yes they are using sponsored images on their new tab page, but at least these are privacy focused, and you can easily disable them. After all, even open source projects need sponsoring.

I'd much rather have some sponsored images than have my data being sold or turned into advertisements.
It seems that this is more of an issue of how the W3C chooses to operate, rather than Google taking a certain position.

The built-in Windows Defender is absolutely painful on low end machines. Yours should be absolutely fine, but on a 2010 macbook with an ancient core2duo and 2gb ram, it's very noticeable.
Ohh Please, W3C was taken over years ago by Google, this is clear showing of that

The fact that it requires unanimous consent to get anything moved forward shows the problem with the organization, and it is something that Google Enjoys

They have their market dominance, if w3c does what they want great, if not Google will do it anyway and if w3c takes up something Google dislikes they will block if even if every other members wants it done.

I am still shocked by the number of Google Defenders there are ... 2021 Google's mantra may as well be "Always do evil"
The danger from a dearth of independent implementations revolves mostly around programming errors; i.e. if everyone uses Chromium code, and it has a bug with some particular CSS property, it will inevitably become web standard behavior anyway since content will be written to rely upon the bug. (See also: Adobe Flash)

It does not foreclose downstream Chromium users' ability to strip out or restrict features they believe to be harmful to user privacy; as all the code is provided under a variety of Free licenses that are specifically designed to allow removing unwanted functionality.
I agree that's the worst part about Brave. Browser engine diversity is as important as browser diversity in general, but the modern web seems to be too complicated to achieve this.
We are talking about health because I started this thread with a discussion about the healthiness of the situation. Bringing up jailbreaking is an extremely strong argument because many of the same people are involved, rather than whatever vague "competition the real world" example you have shows. And I know that the currently situation has already turned off some very capable people from contributing to either "side" when they were perfectly willing to do so before, or waste their time on arguing who is in the right here.
I'm not saying rent control is an unalloyed good and yes it probably does put a cap on growth rate (though not cause economies to "stagnate", evidenced by many economically strong locales with pervasive rent control). Just pointing out that it's a trade-off.

Mostly the sheer volume of open source that’s out there. I think FOSS makes a lot of sense for stuff that’s too much work for a small team and needed by a lot of people: operating system kernels, compilers, browsers, etc. That was the stuff to work on in 1987. Today most of that layer is “done”.
