> "blocking ads and trackers" on the phone means that there's basically only one choice which is firefox, no? not saying firefox is not good but it's at least not for everyone.

I'm blocking a good percentage of ads in Safari on my iPhone via third-party apps Hush[0] and Magic Lasso[1]. I typically read articles in Reader mode. Because of this, I can't give a great accounting of how many ads actually get through. Certainly, the number is small enough that I don't think about it.

It seems to me that everyone has a different idea of what it means to be cancelled and what the culture is around that. I can be rebuked (an expression of sharp disapproval or criticism), I can be censured (the expression of formal disapproval) I can be given a fine, put in jail, fired from my job, kicked off social media, or any number of things that could be called "cancelled." The people who have recently exhibited a zeal for cancelling people form a group of some sort. I'm not sure who these people are. It's different for different types of cancelling. I'm confused by the whole issue.

Given Twitter's intense proclivity for banning political dissent, there is a 100% likelihood they got the nod from the FBI to leave this up as a honeypot for idiots to flock to like flies to shit. Didn't Twitter just update their hacked materials policy? Why the exception here? How are these people dodging indictments using no opsec?
"It doesn't guarantee mutual annihilation at all. We've already used nuclear weapons"

That's a weird thing to say.

When was the last time we used them, during a war?

Back before any other power had them. Literally the US was the only country with those bombs. That's obviously not mutually assured anything.

Now, almost everyone has at least one, and the US and Russia have many more.
This is pretty interesting. He should also consider pitching this to Canadian Tire. They buy a lot of unique products that are specific to Canada and made by Canadians. I purposely go to CT specifically for those kinds of products, as do many of their shoppers.

I think they'd do amazingly well there, and they'd get a huge distribution network.

The title is a little misleading. Whether or not these people are "free software advocates", they appear to be more defined by their social justice cause, and seem to feel that this is more important than actually talking about free software.

That is what I disagree with most, many of these causes are important, but none of them are the one true cause that we need to drop everything and attend to. If you're interested in equality issues, join such a cause, don't try to pretend you're interested in free software so you can co-opt that cause for your own purposes.

Ironically, this kind of behavior actually does the most harm to the people involved in it. There are lots of examples of e.g. gay rights organizations being commandeered by other groups to try and champion their "more important" cause.
Pretty obviously what happened is they've had incidents in the past where a blogger would publish an article on one of their employees and then redditors would start spamming that article on reddit to dox them -- in a coordinated action so the blog article was written for the purpose of doxxing the employee.

So they have a bot which bans links to article which mention reddit employees by name which hands out auto-bans to prevent that behavior.

What went wrong was that the code didn't have any allowance for newspaper articles, or somehow incorrectly classified that article.

That problem being made more difficult because the definition of what is a "news site" or "journalist" these days is vague.

This sounds like its the same category of problem that Memphis was with twitter.

And its a bit odd that this technology-oriented site is getting caught up in the political outrage and entirely missing the fact that a bot did the bans and that reddit acted to revert those actions. Do we now think that programming and algorithmic bugs never happen and that the outcomes of algorithms are always deliberately premeditated actions and never unintended consequences?

I also wouldn't word it that way, but it is technically correct. The four "successful" attempts all involve Mussolini in situations where slightly worse luck would have killed him, missed shots or bombs thrown and a sniper arrested just before he reached a balcony. Meanwhile there were many other plots against his life that didn't ever put him in danger.
I don't think so. I think it is our society.

If you gave everyone in Japan a gun, I don't think people would just start committing more crimes.

If you took away guns from everyone in a place like South Africa, I don't think it would decrease violence.

Faster load times is really only part of the AMP story. If you do a diff of whats possible between an AMP page and a plain HTML5 page load, you will quickly realize there is a large functional difference. Especially in the early days of AMP. It wasn't trying to steer the user towards Google tracking. A huge effort was put into bootstrapping the AMP ecosystem with 3rd party ad trackers, from day 1. There were some issues with cross-domain user tracking, but that wasn't something Google desired, it was a reality of how the web worked. There was no easy workaround, without turning the AMP cache off completely.
That's practically guaranteed.

Here's my issue with this kind of "magic" API design:

It's not clear when or how serialization happens.

Supposedly at some point the message I am sending to the worker is serialized, but this is not made clear to the user and it's not made clear when this happens.

A well-designed library would synchronously serialize the given object the moment it is passed in or let the user explicitly handle serialization. But I don't think that's what is happening here.

It appears messages are serialized only eventually and when they are finally sent off to a worker.

If you accidentally pass mutable state in here, you're in for a really confusing and fun debugging session. Likely it'll be a production-only bug too, because during development and testing you're unlikely to have the kind of message volume required to run into some modified-before-sent condition.

CTRL-F "mutable" and CTRL-F "serialize" gives no results, so I don't think the designers thought of this or thought to warn users.

Unrestricted access to toothbrushes doesn’t result in amazing dental hygiene across the country. Mass shootings are a mental health issue. If we were to go to the extreme and outlaw all guns, people with severe mental illness who wanted to kill a bunch of people could either buy a gun illegally, or use a knife, a homemade pipe bomb, a vehicle, or a myriad of other ways to kill a lot of people.
I don't get the appeal of vim over vim emulators. I've always used essentially stock vim with no plugins so I find myself using JetBrains emulated vim. A language server has become necessary for me. If vim LSP competes with JetBrains LSP, I'd make the switch. I have never tried but if I was taking bets I'd bet on JetBrains for what I assume are obvious reasons.

I think that a part of the reason is China's hyper-competitiveness, because the country has simply too many people. But then I guess that the more or less same thing would happen in India too? That country has also too many people, and from what I've seen their job market is pretty competitive. I'd be curious to see if these two country appear similarly in the academic landscape.

I agree with most of this. However, (3) has issues:

a) NASDAQ in 2000 had a ton of companies selling to other VC backed companies. When the flow slowed, even profitable companies failed because they sold to unprofitable ones. They fell like dominos. And this was in the public markets!

b) Any investor in a YC B2B company should ask the percentage of customers that are YC backed. It’s good for a cold start in sales, but ultimately see #1.

c) I hope hundreds of companies don’t want to talk to the SAME person at Apple. Otherwise, I agree.

The link provides (pretty convoluted) details on how to opt out of one very specific type of tracking that Chrome does.

There are other options in Chrome's settings that may allow you to further opt out of other types of tracking, if you can discover them.

These settings aren't documented simply or centrally by Google and can change with each release (releases are extremely frequent).

Then there are types of tracking that can't be disabled as Google classifies them as "legitimate interest" or required for certain functions of the browser (one particular example here that comes up often is the collection of wifi ssid data for geo apis).

Anything that's on by default will always be unmanageable even by most technical users. We need a browser that doesn't track by default. Otherwise, you must typically assume you are being tracked (this goes for Firefox as well, though I think we can at least assume less data is tracked in firefox and is slightly easier to opt out)
The only way I would buy this stock would be for a pump and dump...
Complaining that it's very difficult for all 130 million books to get public attention is missing the whole point. Of course it's hard. It will always be hard.

Moreover, the idea that there is a handful of gatekeepers is completely unremarkable to anyone who knows what a "gatekeeper" is. Yet we want gatekeepers because they make it easier, not harder for people to find books. It would not be any easier for anyone in a world without gatekeepers and a big pile of 130 million books sitting in front of everyone.

None of this is interesting or subtle, and all but a handful of people are aware of these issues and find them banal, which you have mistakenly interpreted as meaning that people are unaware of these issues.

We are aware and don't care. What we do care about is whether there are more barriers today than say, thirty years ago, and I think the answer is "there are fewer barriers" even though of course we still have gatekeepers and of course it is extremely difficult for almost all books to be well known. These are just basic applications of the pigeon-hole principle and are not worthy of any outrage or even any further commentary.

Finding a Good Domain Name
Yeah, the trade here is lower tail latency for increased median latency (ideally the mean is the same but mightn’t be the case).

For many systems this is desirable. It’s also the reason that incremental and concurrent gc were invented even though you could just have a gc where the mutator runs until it can’t allocate anymore, then you do a big mark and sweep, then you resume the mutator.

Decreasing tail latency can generally improve downstream systems. Let’s say latency for requests is iid and I have some intermediate system which receives a request, needs to send 20 requests to your server, wait for them all to complete, then responds. Then the median latency of my system will look like the 95th %ile latency of your system that it gets data from. If your system were a web server and immune a web browser then you could pay yourself on the back for having low median latency while your users actually experience your 95th %ile latency waiting for all the resources to load.
It's a bit extreme to make that leap. Multi-cellular life only emerged on Earth ~600 million years ago, after the supposed habitable period of Venus.

It's unclear for how much of the 4.6 billion year history of the earth multicellular life could have emerged and just how improbable the evolution of multicellular life is.

There are certainly events such as the symbiosis of mitochondria which appear to have occurred only once in the history of life on earth.

Growing up I absorbed all the space stuff I could find.

But it wasn't until recently that I realized that the solar system didn't just form into some static natural state where it largely didn't change until say the sun was finished with it's lifespan.

Rather it evolves, changes, planets are habitable, then not, moons are formed and break up, even frozen planets are geologically active and are changing, Saturn's rings are relatively recent and etc.

Not sure how I didn't pick up on that.
The Philippines has more mass shootings, and way more crime in general.

And how do you define a mass shooting? The media equates a gangland battle between two groups of crack dealers to be the same thing as the Columbine shooting.

A country can still have nightmarish levels of crime while having strict gun control, like Brazil. A country can have nightmarish levels of crime with very little gun restrictions, like South Africa and The Philippines. A country can be very safe and have little gun control, like Switzerland, The Czech Republic and Israel. A country can have strict gun control and very little crime, like Japan.

You need to take a more holistic approach to understand what is really going on. And certainly to inform policy.

The change doesn’t affect routers (which I think most people don’t know how to log into these days) as there is no https default for URIs outside of the scope of normal PKI (ip addresses and single-level names). Are we disagreeing about the actual change or an imagined future one?
VRR makes that kind of stutter essentially irrelevant, as the penalty for missing the refresh interval is basically zero. They don’t really drop frames, it’ll be displayed as soon as it’s done, so the frame will only delay for however late it actually is, instead of waiting a whole 1/60th of a second for the next refresh

Of course, we’re generally talking about much higher refresh rates, at least 120 if not more.

My display runs at 165hx and you’d be surprised how many games could hit that a lot of the time... even on my old 1080 (and certainly on the 3080 I have now).

Only if the events of the plot, or unrevealed information are critical to the story. Some stories tell you what's going to happen early on. You know Oedipus is going to kill his father and marry his mother, the story is about how events conspire to fulfill the prophecy despite him trying avoid it.

J. Michael Straczinski (Babylon 5) said he likes to tell people what's going to happen, but he doesn't tell you the context. This lets him put in prophecy as a story element.

Other times the story is really about discovery. You can guess that Harry Potter will bring about Voldemort's demise in book one, but the series is about the process of Harry becoming Harry, so it's not really possible to give away any spoilers because you have to explain too much.

Well, tax avoidance implies that you are taking actions or modifying your behavior for the express purpose of avoiding taxes. If you increase your ira contribution amount at the end of year to more than you normally would have in order to decrease your taxable income, then that is an example of tax avoidance. If you schedule a corporate team building retreat in the Bahamas instead of taking a personal vacation there, that is tax avoidance. Moving from California to Texas right before you sign a $100m contract is another example of tax avoidance. Denouncing your US citizenship before cashing in billions in stock is another example of tax avoidance.
