fascinating! clicking through to the page on synonymy is interesting too:

"Unlike synonyms in other contexts, in taxonomy a synonym is not interchangeable with the name of which it is a synonym. In taxonomy, synonyms are not equals, but have a different status. For any taxon with a particular circumscription, position, and rank, only one scientific name is considered to be the correct one at any given time (this correct name is to be determined by applying the relevant code of nomenclature). A synonym cannot exist in isolation: it is always an alternative to a different scientific name. Given that the correct name of a taxon depends on the taxonomic viewpoint used (resulting in a particular circumscription, position and rank) a name that is one taxonomist's synonym may be another taxonomist's correct name (and vice versa)."

If I'm the CIA I have dozens of highly placed agents or at least informants at Intel. Not necessarily placing backdoors, but finding and not fixing exploits and sending them back to the CIA for later use. It would be extremely cheap, hell if I'm China, Russia, the UK, or Israel I'm doing the same thing.
We are currently running out of atmosphere to dump the CO2 from burning the oil into.
If someone in a position of power looks honest, it's either because they have such a huge competitive edge that they truly don't care, or because they are incredible bullshit artists. In the case of Musk it's a mix of both, and so far he manages to turn some hype into reality. He is the epitome of plausible deniability.

If I were a three-letter agency, I'd bribe/blackmail somebody into inserting intentionally vulnerable code. After all, sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from incompetence.

We've often seen that the code inside firmware, secure environments like trustzone, etc tend to lack many of the mitigations for the classic vulnerabilities. Just rewrite one of the ASN.1 parsers in the ME (I'm sure there's at least one), "forget" a bounds check in some particularly obscure bit, and you'd have a textbook stack smash.

The actual article title is "How Would the Publishing World Respond to Lolita Today?" The title here is a small bit from the article. Unless the submitter here is the author I don't think it's appropriate to link this article under this title.

The article consists of the story of how Lolita was published in the US mixed with background on the political setting of the era it was published in.

The overall claim of the article seems to be that Lolita is still politically interesting and sparks debate.

I disagree with this conclusion. The world is all too fond of sexuality, and especially with controversial sexuality.

I am actually the author of a somewhat popular website involving written erotica, and what I've found is that controversial erotica is wildly popular regardless of the specific content. You could publish all manner of twisted crap today and it would mostly be met with praise.

There are, of course, puritanical haters that will go out of their way to whine and cry about it, but the world has reached a point where it is broadly understood that written erotica is freedom of speech and trying to ban it or make it stop is pointless.

So could you use this to implement always-up-to-date materialized views in Postgres? It says it uses relational data for inputs and outputs. It says it operates in-memory but also that it starts up from a set of known facts (which sounds like it could just read the current matview at startup). This would be a really cool extension for someone to build!

But surely we can devise a way to minimise abuse and still let people who wants the features have them? This defeatist attitude is pretty sad, we have to be careful when designing new features, but we shouldn't let bad users just make it worse for everyone and give up.

For instance, you could forbid websites from requesting the notification permission, but the user could manually go and allow it. It would probably cut 99% of the spam while allowing people that really want notifications to have them. As for the 1% left, we're not talking life and death scenario here, at that point the good outweighs the bad I would say.

Apple sell phones globally, so really you should be using global statistics to determine what Safari needs to implement.
Yes, this is correct, and it would have several effects.

One, banks would be unwilling to lend vast sums of money for education, and universities would have to cut back and offer education at a more reasonable price.

Two, income sharing agreements would become commonplace for economically productive degrees.

Three, pursuing economically useless degrees would go back to being the preserve of those of independent means.

Four, fewer high school graduates would go to college, and a lot of marginal colleges would close.

All of these are good things.

I don't believe this to be true.

This statement doesn't even make sense. These aren't KYC regulations or building permits we're talking about here. They just make it illegal to charge for preferential treatment. We've had common carrier laws since forever. The fact that ISPs are exempt is an aberration.
I don't find that very convincing at all. 99% of apps I've ever used add no value beyond what a web interface could do, and most of those send me spammy notifications trying to draw me back into the app. App notification spam is a much greater problem for me and everyone I know than web notification spam, and apps pose a greater privacy and security threat.

Why can't the university take back the degree?

Employers don't care that your "has_degree" field is set to true in the college's database. They care that you demonstrated a sufficient level of IQ+conscientiousness by showing up and passing tests for several years, and in some cases they may care that you acquired relevant knowledge. Universities can't revoke either of those things because they're historical facts.

Not at all. Extending the benefit of the doubt is essential to society functioning well. Assuming the worst without clear cause just escalates things needlessly and poisons relationships.

That doesn't mean you have to be a sucker though. It's quite clear in context that ISPs would love to abuse a lack of net neutrality if they could get away with it. There's literally a video from years ago of an AT&T executive talking about it.
Again though you're making assumptions that the data can't back up. If a site asks to send me notifications and I say no that doesn't make the notifications spam. That just means I don't want to see them for some reason.

And besides, for something to be spam you need to actually see it. In the case of notifications if you deny the permission on a site you don't see the notifications. That's the perfect spam filter. Imagine a world where people could only send you email if you explicitly said you accepted it from them. Or if robocallers could only call you if you agreed first. Spam would be over. There would be no spam. That sounds fantastic.
Yes but it doesn’t really matter. If you’re using edge chromium , you’re probably using it on the platform it runs best on anyway, that already would probably do it all anyway.
Any sufficiently large data analyzer is going to handle that already. Even if you have reliable delivery of the "session created" event into the analyzer, you'll still occasionally get wonky data from bit flips.

Why not? Web browsers are not just for reading text based articles. Most use a calendar, email, perhaps some kind of chat app through their browser. Aren't these and other similar use cases good reasons for notifications to exist?

On one hand you have people complaining Chrome kills their batteries and on the other you want to have a browser that does push notifications, Bluetooth and usb. I want my browser to be fast and light. These complaints seem to come more from companies wanting to save money and developers too lazy to develop native apps. I don’t want to load a 200Mb progressive web app that goes through 20 layers of abstraction to show a list of news items just because developers are lazy and companies want to make more money. This is not for the users, at least let’s be honest about that.

I hope that there are positive effects. I wonder how to measure them.
At least let me pick a country or something and give me a ballpark.

With a lot of US-only retailers the only way to find out they won’t ship outside the US is to try and checkout and look for a country drop down.

And the ones that will ship, shipping for a small parcel can range from inconsequential (free/$10) through punishing ($80) to absurd ($300).

I don’t need an exact amount, but there can be a couple order of magnitude difference between stores when trying to ship to Canada and often no way to determine they even will at all without going through the checkout flow.

2. Do something else
3. Sleep on it

I do it so often, I just say to colleagues that “It’s stewing in the back of my head for a bit” or “Need to sleep on it”.

Before I was fully aware of it, I’d get super disheartened, sleep on it, then come in the next day and nail it by 10.

That’s another thing: if something becomes comical, there’s usually a pattern. If it’s the positive kind of comical, repeat the pattern. If negative, consciously avoid (but that appears comically harder).

What a weird argument. We're not talking about suspicious blogospam sites asking for notification access here. By the same token, most email sent is spam. Should we stop using email?

Spammy notification requests should be mitigated with better browser guards for requesting them. The fact that there is spam does not somehow invalidate that there are legitimate use cases people want them for.
