I can't speak for anyone else, but I miss the early Web mainly because I was young, had my life ahead of me, and everything was an unknown frontier to be explored.

Do you remember how f'in hard it was to find stuff online back when a) there was less stuff online and b) you had to use a metasearch engine like Metafind or Dogpile to aggregate the terrible results from multiple engines into something remotely useful? Remember surfing because actively searching fog data was next to impossible? Remember 300ms-per-hop latency and being impressed by 6KB/sec downloads, taking a week to download a Linux distro and rarely upgrading your packages because it took forever? Remember that day in 1998 when the world changed because some Stanford project called 'Google' appeared? I do. I won't go back. I have a few PDP-8s and a PDP-11/03 and various 8-bit micros and some Teletypes and 80s-90s UNIX systems and Winboxen if I want to go back to the old days. They're not dead, they're still here and they still do exactly what little they did in the past. I don't love how dystopian tech has become, but it's a ton more useful to me and most other people than it was 10, 20, 30 years ago.
There's a bit of overlap.

Y'all is usually positive, but can be negative "What on earth did y'all do now?!?", and "you lot" leans negative, but can be used positively "Alright you lot, lets get it done".

Tone of voice is extremely important in both examples.

How about say that first instead of trying to cancel someone from posting?
It will be the 99% of the internet in ignorant bliss roaming the censored walled gardens, and the 1% in a constant arms race with ad tech writing scripts to separate the content from the adware and view with their hardware on their own terms. Who knew The Matrix would be so prophetic?
You're not making a mistake, they just don't give an interesting response to this type of request. The only server I know of that actually uses it for something is Icecast (a music streaming server).
What is there left to say?
> server at eviltracker.com doesn't have any special ability to crossreference traffic between those two domains

Sure it does. It generates the IDs in the first place, so it knows how if they match between the sites. Not perfectly precisely (at least not for now), but with high confidence by the source of traffic and browser fingerprint.

> use hosted first-party tracking, which is less likely to support features like cookie opt-outs or GDPR compliant data handling

On the other hand it doesn't aggregate data between unrelated services. And the first party can access a lot of the same data just from standard logs.
I would disagree about security policies not benefitting from a minimal approach. If they're exhaustive and tedious to read, then they won't be read or understood by the people who's decisions they're supposed to govern. Attempting to exhaustively enumerate the situations to which a policy could apply is a losing strategy. Making it as simple as possible for a person to know "what should I do here?" or "am I allowed to do this?" should be the ultimate goal.
Interesting. I was recently recently reminded about the "Pomodoro" method ("Pomodoro" = 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off, 1 "set" is 4 Pomodoros followed by an additional 30 minute break) - it might be interesting to have a learning platform with a Pomodoro timer baked right into the site.
> Why should that do when you can do better?

Because "better [for advertisers]" is a euphemism for "worse for advertisees".

> Why stop there?

Because it's deeply unethical.
It would be easy to come up with an encoding scheme that evades detection.
Similar situation here, we had our child in our early 20s, mid-university. It was tough for sure, and delayed both our schooling and our careers (mine was impacted more), and finances were tight sometimes, but it increasingly looks like it was monumental luck. We get to focus on careers as our teen naturally wants less to do with us.

Only downside seems to be that I'm a solid 5-7 years older than my equivalently experienced colleagues.

Children's literature is undervalued by second-language learners. It will expose you to common language and vocabulary items that are, in a formal academic context, those you would be the least likely to encounter. (I can read an article in French usually without needing the dictionary on topics as diverse as cryptography and art history, but I don't know the words for some common kitchen utensils.)
Bill Maher made this point, that Republicans have lately tried to appropriate "cancel culture" for being correctly rebuked, while what happens to people with his views is insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmXTUSP9a9M

All good feedback, thanks! An upcoming landing rework will get the first two, and I added "separate sign-up list for new courses" to my queue.

I think this is a better approach than what I described - but how would we make it so the virtualization doesn’t expose fingerprints? With VirtualBox for example it’s possible to figure out you’re in a VM from outside the guest.

It's hard to tell from eBay's limited comment whether this is because eBay is super upset about the content of the books, or because they're worried these books will lead to fraudulent activity in the short term because of the hoopla surrounding them. It seems weird for it to be the former, considering eBay allows sale of much more offensive books.
Good idea. What are your ideas for how to handle other social network link sites? For example, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn?

There has been various research about Earth's carrying capacity. The numbers are controversial but it shouldn't be controversial that there is _some_ limit.

I think we are going to have to adapt to a post-growth world. Or maybe things will grow in other ways. I am not worried about declining birth rates. It's not like we are heading for a "Children of Men" scenario. The population will stabilize before it goes to zero. Or maybe we will just grow people in vats.
Seems polished, mate. There are quite a few options in this space. So prepare for serious competition (e.g. Linktree).

> And yes: it should all still compile, but none of that prohibits the compiler from issuing flashing red/yellow warning messages to your terminal for using footgun functions, preferably with uncomfortable audible notifications too.

As long as it is done like in recent versions of Visual C++ where i can disable that useless compiler output pollution with a #define, usually with a snide remark about Visual C++ right above it.

Pros: helps team uncover and jump over costly roadblocks
Cons: overhead

OK, sure, but you can make versions of those exact same arguments for salary as well. The point is that the Oxide team has made a point of not making them, or even making the counterarguments.

However, amount of and terms around equity are part of the overall compensation package, and if the principles espoused in the document are relevant to salary, then they should also be relevant to the equity component of compensation as well, no?
Unfortunately, you're communicating with other people. Unless you find a way to magically stop people getting triggered, it's best to avoid certain trigger words and be careful when expressing certain points.
Then nightly releases or AB versions of pages that change the image file name, it's place in the Dom, the structure of the t tracking links, so user scripts are difficult to maintain. Or the tracking company could just develop a browser and convince 90 of internet users to use it, infiltrate the web standards committee to gain control of web features, release new features that are not standard but get widely adopted, make many websites check for user agents of browser to ensure they are using the tracking companies browser, so most other viable browsers fail, then implement their own tracking in the that browser that cannot be blocked by user Javascript, and release a whole new OS that has browsers without extensions, or the basic ability to manage the flow of your information .....
Totally! I used to use pi-hole, and I genuinely much prefer AGH.
I don't think it's obvious at this point whether or not a Martian colony would be profitable. A lot depends on technology and costs. Transportation costs are the biggest hurdle at the moment.

Any potential Mars colony is likely to be populated by an early group of scientists and tourists, but there are a lot of other reasons people might want to visit Mars or stay there. Mining of high-value minerals. Filming TV shows and movies. Sports. Claiming the best real estate before someone else does. Establishing a refueling station between Earth and the asteroid belt. Manufacturing heavy space equipment that we don't want to lift out of Earth's gravity well. Some people with mobility issues might rather live in low gravity on Mars than be bound to a wheelchair on Earth. And so on.
The obvious response is to not take the right of speech from anybody, regardless of how democratically the decision to do so is arrived at.

More broadly, just because some power can be exercised by somebody, doesn't mean that it has to be exercised by anybody. To the extent that it may be necessary for a functioning society, it's generally best to decentralize power to the extent possible - think council democracy and similar arrangements, where decisions are made at the lowest applicable levels, and delegation of power flows upwards, not downwards. Some real-world approximations of these can be seen with the Zapatistas, and more recently in Rojava. In both cases, there are local governments that can democratically ban certain things as you've described - but, being local, their power is inherently limited in scope. Thus, it's tyranny of the local majority, and dissenters are free to move away and organize their own communities that do not implement such bans (but still federate with others that do).
In case you haven't studied evolutionary biology ...

Women have ingrained neuroticism to protect themselves and their children. You can read about hypergamy and also shaming.

Men have ingrained traits of provisioning and protection. Yes, that leads to murderous tendencies, especially against other tribes. That's part of nature in general.

As a society, the US doesn't face any existential threats like war or famine, so we've turned inward against biology and against the nuclear family. Ironically, this is because the US has dominated the globe for 75 years, preventing large conflicts, and allowing the rise of coordinated Marxism.

Most of the SJW drama would stop if somebody launched several ICBM's at us, then US women would be asking US men for a murderous, toxic solution - "do something, please!" But it will take an external threat to unite our society again.

Until then, our society will resemble the fall of Rome.

Interesting take. So does that also apply to automotive manufacturer bailouts, bank bailouts, corn subsidies, oil subsidies, etc?
The major flaw here, as pointed out in the article, is that third-party websites can tie authenticated users to their FLoC ids. This is much worse for privacy than the status quo.

On the flip side, if opting out of FLoC is a single switch that turns off all third party tracking, then it makes opting out a breeze (compared with ad blockers now).
Unequivocally, NO. Please don't tell me I'm doing it wrong.

The cons are it's a huge waste of my time.

I much prefer a system where someone just tells me what they want/expect, and leaves me alone while I do it.

I have no idea how tracking should be done.
That was the norm until suddenly people started prioritizing money over procreation. Seems to be cultural and connected to the "abnormal" prosperity of the past and even more abnormal prosperity expectations set by the media.
I love Cypher too. And PostgreSQL! I wonder how this project compares to Neo4j.
And it's not like we haven't seen the same pattern before with the Weather Underground. (I do feel obligated to acknowledge that I was one of those people on the "just in the universities" train 5 years ago, so I'm not accusing anyone of a mistake I haven't made myself.)
I don't know yet if I agree with this. I suspect I won't when I make my mind up. Throat cleared.

The parent makes a point that needs to be heard and considered. It is reasonable part of this discussion.
Ahh, fair. I didn't realise that's what he was talking about specifically. I thought he was referring to the (real) monetary losses that come from people shifting priorities away from career and towards family.

Maybe you want to take a look at stealth [1] as you've seem to understood the real strength of a browser with a decentralized (and delegateable) request system.

Personally I don't think the strength of p2p is only trust, it's delegation. If you have peer to peer encryption running, the possibilities are endless.

Add a statistical "proof of authenticity" and you have an unbeatable anti censorship mechanism that can also identify in-page modifications and weed out malicious MITMs in between.

An A1B generates 125 MW electricity, but also 260 MW of additional thermal power used to power the propellers. If you convert the latter one to electricity at a 45% efficiency (typical efficiency for a generation IV nuclear power plant steam turbine), you get 117 MW, for a total of 242 MW. Two reactors could produce then about 0.5 GW. At a $1 BN cost, that's $2 BN / GW.

Palo Verde was brought online more than 30 years ago. If you look at Vogtle 3-4 (to be brought online in the next 2 years... if we are lucky) or Hinkley Point C, you'll see projected costs of respectively $25 BN for 2.5 GW and $32 BN for 3.2 GW. In both cases that comes at $10 BN/ GW. That is 5 times more expensive than the naval reactor.

Now, as you said, the cost of a naval reactor is very likely inflated by the exacting demands of its military usage. It needs to be compact, to work on a rocking ship, presumably it needs to be able to survive a certain amount of abuse that's to be expected if a ship/boat actually participates in combat, and I'm sure there are 100 other things that I'm missing here. All these factors make military devices absurdly expensive compared to the same devices intended for civilian use.

The logical conclusion is that if DoE wants to repurpose naval reactors for civilian use, then it can achieve significant cost savings. What I'm saying is that even not factoring these savings in, you still end up 5 times cheaper than the civilian reactors that are currently being built.

Edit: The lifespan of a Gerald Ford-class carrier is expected to be 50 years. The Nimitz aircraft carrier was launched 49 years ago. They do not replace their reactors. So, a naval reactor is designed to work for at least 50 years.

in the future, given sufficient CPU resources on the clients, another method could be browser page-rendering engines that use advanced machine learning image recognition to categorize and blank out ads, no matter where they come from.
Really they should have fertility checks included in basic insurance for women over 30. I'm at an age where I see many women struggling to conceive because they waited to long. Knowing where you are at fertility wise at 30 gives people the chance to decide what they want to do in life
Anyone in this thread will tell you that what you consider is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I can tell you some things from the times and how I got out of my major depression.

Talking to a therapist will help as other tell you. But if you don't have access or resist to going to one:

-Find the cheapest private room with private bathroom apartment nearby. If you are in a big city in the U.S., they cost anywhere from $600 to $1200.

-Organize your room, organize your daily habits. Easy to say but keeping your room clean and laundry folded makes a huge difference.

-Organize your budget. Even if you are in debt, seeing what can be fixed will help. It is not entirely about your income. You can make $1000 working part time and still survive in the U.S. if you lower your expectations. Cut all the bullshit expense (hulu, netflix, spotify, starbucks etc.) and save every single dollar.

-Learn to calm your brain. Something like this can get you started. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOJTbWC-ULc
I also listened to binaural beats for many months while meditating.

-Wake up early. Have organized sleep. Brain chemistry will be affected by your sleep dramatically.

-Do not interact with your negative friends.

-Eliminate loud noises around you. Human or non-human. Quiet environment means a calmer state of mind.

-Stop eating sugar. It is a drug.

-If you are smoking weed or another substance, they are not helping and cause you to think on overdrive with an altered state of mind.

-Finding a hobby helps. If you have a few dollars buy a drone, a 3d printer, a computerized telescope or whatever makes you entertain. Do it more organized than before. Even write about it on a blog or start a youtube channel about it.

-Cook your own food. When you shop, do not buy things because they will make you healthy etc. Buy only the things you eat and improve your eating habits gradually. I had so many lettuce and cabbages in the fridge with molds on them.

-Do no read the news for a while. News are for clicks and attention. World goes on without your news knowledge anyway. It will just frustrate and give you negative thoughts.

-Listen to music, preferably EDM. Don't listen to depressing emo stuff. They don't help your mind.

-Buy comfortable clothing. I am always wearing soft non-restrictive stuff (jogging pants, comfy shoes, tshirt + hoodie is a good style IMHO).

There are many more but I just looked around me to remember the things helped me and still helping.
Why gripe about how difficult it is to do concurrency in Go? It is difficult to do concurrency correctly in ANY mainstream language. Go offers more support for concurrency than most: goroutines, channels, non-blocking I/O, great networking and HTTP support, ... There is a book specifically about this ("Concurrency in Go" by Katherine Cox-Buday) that carefully explains how to do concurrency correctly in Go.

Go has become the language of cloud infrastructure:

https://hackernoon.com/go-has-indeed-become-the-language-of-...

And there are lots of developers who want to use it:

https://zoolatech.com/blog/why-use-golang-for-your-project-a...

Are there things we would want added to the language? Sure. Generics. Check out the progress:

https://thenewstack.io/this-week-in-programming-go-approves-...

If there are other things you want added, it's open source, and you can join the team working on it.

Don't lose sight of the fact that Go has done alot of things right, and is GREAT the way it is right now.
The uptake in the developer community proves it's worth.
> Why ask these questions only as they relate to women and motherhood? Why haven't men being presented a false promise that value and purpose is derived from work?

Men aren't presented with this false promise. Men are influenced to work through negative reinforcement. A man who doesn't have a career is judged harshly, much more so than women, by society and has a difficult time dating and finding a partner.

Men also have a higher economic need to work. Women have much higher social mobility, so women are less economically motivated to work. A low income man will stay poor unless he works himself out of his social class. A low income woman can much more easily marry a man with higher income than her to propel her social class and household income up.

Women are more often presented with the positive reinforcement of value and purpose from work because women deal with less negative reinforcement when not working.
Having almost 20 years of experience with Java... but are not following recent garbage collector developments.

There is a bunch of misconceptions about Java. Java is actually very performant and memory allocation is generally cheaper than in C (except for inability to have good use of stack in Java). What's slow about Java is all the shit that has been implemented on top of it, but that's another story for another time.

For example, allocation in Java is basically incrementing the pointer. And deallocation for most objects is basically forgetting the object exists.

No, you don't want to "limit the use of new", that's wrong approach.

What you want is to have objects that are either permanent or last very short amount of time.

The worst types of objects are ones that have kind of intermediate lifetime ie if they are allowed to mature from eden. These cost a lot to collect.

The objects that have very short lifetime are extremely cheap to collect.

So if your function takes arguments, creates couple of intermediate objects and then never returns them (for example they were just necessary for inner working of the function) and your function does not call a lot of other heavy stuff, then it is very likely the cost of those temporary objects will be very low. Also, they tend to be allocated very close to each other and so pretty well cached.
