Thank you, Yes Yes!

The web was much better when it was annotated text: You took a primarily text document, maybe decorated with a few formatting hints, and let the User-Agent take care of the rest. Over the years, browsers have handed way too much fine-grained control over to web developers, and the result is thousands of developers treating my HyperText browser as some kind of interactive graphic design canvas. This has really been a step backwards in web usability, even though it enabled nice fancily-designed blogs and "web apps" of dubious value.
I happen to have purchased a large 1 gallon jug of sanitizer produced by ArtNaturals, the brand with the highest concentration detected, from Costco in October.

I’ve been using it daily ever since, and have even used it to refill the bottle of sanitizer in my car.

Later today I am shipping it off to Valisure to be tested.

They noted high variability in concentrations from batch to batch that they tested, so I’m hoping I got “lucky”.

Edit: by "lucky", I mean I hope my sanitizer was not contaminated or the contamination was minimal, obviously! Odd I even need to state this.
Whitey on Mars: Musk and the rise of the Valley’s strange trickle-down science
"Musk’s plan to colonise Mars is a sign of an older and recurring social problem. What happens when the rich and powerful isolate themselves from everyday concerns? Musk wants to innovate and leave Earth, rather than to take care of it, or fix it, and stay. Like so many of his peers in the innovating and disrupting classes, Musk prefers to dwell in fantasy and science fiction, safely removed from the world of here and now. Musk is a utopian, in the original Greek meaning: ‘no place’. Repulsed by the world we all share, he dreams of a place that does not exist."
Just what I was looking for, thanks
When doing REPL dev with clojure, I usually never type directly in the REPL, it's connected my editor and there are shortcuts for evaluating forms already typed in there (e.g. form under cursor, form before cursor, outer most form, entire file) and it outputs the results right after the form (as a temporary display or can even be output the text into the file).

There's also the handy "comment" function that lets you do something like (comment (+ 1 1)) in your code file that won't get compiled but keeps all the editing benefits (syntax highlight, structural editing) that you wouldn't get if an expression was commented out using comment syntax.
The triangle says Confidentiality, Availability, Integrity.

While your concerns are 100% valid, we need to remember too that setting up access in restricted ways and inviting users to understand the protection and remove the correct barriers, or implement the concerns necessary to interact with those for themselves, always runs the risk that some users will find your protections cumbersome and instead find a (totally incorrect) way to baffle them, or otherwise even route around them entirely mooting any efforts to secure a platform.

And every time I hear this played out in conversation, the answer is "that's on them!" But it's clearly a balancing act, it's a trade off; tautologically, when you make the service less accessible then... it is, well, ... made less accessible.

Besides facilitation of the secure access also sales conversion ratios will depend on that accessibility. The crux of your argument stands, the defaults are too open, and we need to do more to ensure that naive users aren't handed a loaded gun to aim at their own feet.
I would welcome some links to what you've read on this topic if you're willing. I briefly Googled Patrick Galbraith, and he does not appear to have the relevant education in psychology necessary to conduct such research, so I would strongly prefer medically-authoritative sources of information.

Based on what I've read, I have absolutely no reason to believe that people who are sexually excited by the concept of children are limited to drawings of them, or that sexualized content featuring children is consumed by people who do not fantasize about raping children.

As far as the blame, I'm comfortable blaming the publisher, too. There's a lot to abhor about someone who would choose to make money by sexualizing children for the entertainment of others.
> But saying that someone deserves a thing implies that someone else is required to provide it. Your rights can't place a burden on me so that can't be a right.

That's correct - maybe it's more accurate to say that I don't believe anyone else has the right to deprive others of a pleasant life. It goes with my general philosophy to strive to ensure that people I interact with in life find that interaction either neutral or pleasant and don't suffer from my existence.
What boggles my mind are the inconsitencies.

When was the last time a robot took an employer to court for a slip and fall. Most (warehouse) employers would rather have one FT employee doing robot repairs, than a warehouse filled with humans.

Yes, of course robots aren't indestructible or immortal. But they're still easier to manage than the majority of humans.
Then it is actually far worse than what I guessed. You know next to nothing about Clojure, but somehow feel that you are qualified to have an opinion about it. That doesn't look good, does it?
> It's similar to when Apple defended it's 30% store cut by claiming it's an "industry standard"... specifically, an industry standard that Apple established.

Apple established a standard for the Apple app store. There was a lot of complaint about "Apple Tax" and Apple merely pointed out that it wasn't a "Apple Tax". Sure, Apple started it but others which are not even connected to the Apple ecosystem simply followed. They could have not decided to but they did (Re:Table 1) [0]. Microsoft, Samsung, Google and Amazon all have the same 30% tax. Heck, even commission rates for Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo have the same rate (Re : Table 2). I am sure Apple is not forcing them to have those rates.

Somehow, this conversation turns into an "Apple" vs rest conversation. There's no conversation had upon the charges on a digital distribution store. I'd say - let's have that conversation and come up with a number. Currently, the number is decided in a "free market". I would be open to come up to an alternate number. Most arguments against the 30% is that it is too high. Well, every penny that goes out from the developer's pocket is too high. The cost of an iPhone might be too high. Something, being too high is not an argument to not have that rate.

> which is the difference, and only difference, vs using rem or pt or px or pc or any other absolute sizing reference

It's a difference for anyone who changes the default text size in Firefox. The "Zoom Text Only" option works the same way as Firefox's default text sizing. This is a difference that does matter for anyone who adjusts either the default or minimum font size in their browser, it's not theoretical.

> I like defining the root font size in px and using rem everywhere else

This is better than using pixels everywhere. I would not define a root font size in pixels, I would leave it as 1rem. BUT, what you're doing is much, much better than what the article is proposing, so I'm not going to be too critical.

I'm working in embedded, admittedly I'm not a hardcore hardware guy. But everyone's using rpis for being the basic driver for our little gizmo during development. It's simply a good, cheap board to use for R&D and connecting stuff to.
I have zero references, just that I've encountered that bit of "common knowledge" enough times among IR professors and military-connected people to take it as basically true. As any such hearsay/common-knowledge, it could be wrong. I've heard a lot of stuff like "headlines say French advisors arrived in Afghanistan, guess they needed some help with interrogations (ahem, torture)." I should have been more up-front about the quality of that statement (middling, I'd judge). The way those things are presented sometimes in e.g. Foreign Affairs sure seem to support that subtext. Strikes me as somewhat less "well it's denied officially, but nonetheless everyone knows..." than Israeli nuclear capabilities. Attempts to find any recent documentation of this are frustrated by modern search engines being terrible, and French torture in the Algerian conflict being so well-documented and infamous that results for that overwhelm everything else no matter how one tries to search past it (and Algeria would likely be mentioned in any long treatment of the topic, making it even harder to narrow in on more-recent examples). There's a definite sentiment of "the last Western government you want to come after you with black ops is France, because they'll be ripping out all your fingernails before they start asking questions, then they'll get really nasty"—sometimes stated almost exactly in those terms—that I've picked up, though. It's entirely possible this is a widespread but inaccurate notion, or even a deliberately-cultivated whisper campaign on France's part.
I heard this sound so many times that eventually I could tell if it wasn't going to negotiate properly, or negotiate at a lower speed, just by listening to it. If that was happening I could kill the attempt early and try again.

Ah-hah, you made a joke by making up something I never said. Funny, but could be improved. Next time try working in something I actually said.
The 30% cut was considered very good at the time.

No, it wasn't. I'm not going to dig up links, but one could pop a web site storefront and Fastspring for payment processing (as one example of a company I used) for less than 10% (Fastspring would take something like 6-7%, IIRC). Discovery has always sucked on Apple's store, so no value-add there. In fact, I'd argue that the only value-add one gets out of Apple's store is access to their closed garden.

And "50-90%"? Is that in reference to putting software in physical boxes and on CompUSA shelves? Because no mobile publisher charged 90% before Apple's store came along.
The Raspberry Pi is also more solder-friendly, with GPIO and similar. The Compute Stick makes sense if you're going to connect to well-defined ports.

With my 5 year old Mikrotik hAP AC I am able to get up to 500 Mbit/s on lan.

I can't be the only person looking at the top of the article, thinking "but if you just add the descender and ascender values together (the total height of the character, not the block space that it occupies), you get almost 32."

I'm guessing if you even slightly tweak the way the measurements are being taken, you'll get 32. even if you just assume "always round up", you get 32.

This is one of the strongest cases of manipulating data by providing a bunch of data points to obscure the one point, enabling belief in "well, they provide all this data and none of it is 32, so they must have a solid point here!"

This misleading opening really just makes me want to avoid reading the rest of the article. I hope there wasn't any real information hiding behind that facade. :x

> The point of a currency is to trade it. If you disallow that then you might as well ask about food that I'm not allowed to eat, art I can't look at, or a language I'm not allowed to speak.

Yes! You get it. Currencies normally don't and shouldn't have intrinsic value. The gold coins of the distant past had some intrinsic value since they could be melted down and used for jewelry or corrosion resistant coatings etc, but all modern currencies have near-zero intrinsic value and there is nothing wrong with that.

I’m willing to see what Ubiquiti will do to make it right before I switch away, because I have a local-only setup of EdgeRouter and UniFi APs that’s been absolutely great in the years I’ve had it, but this is really last chance saloon stuff now.

Good point. Personally, I've avoided autotools for a long time since many projects use CMake and because of its reputation as a painful thing to learn. Lately, however, I've started learning more about autotools, so was just curious as to what it's really good at.

Even still those are selling to consumers. How do you expect an HP or a Dell to figure out how to sell a user on an i5-11500 instead of the slower & more expensive i5-11600T?

Why isn't the i5 lineup just 11600 = the 125w part, 11500 = 65w part, and 11400 = 35w part? Is there really enough gap in product stacks to justify a different 11400T vs. 11500T at a $10 difference?
I would posit that if rendering differences in font display are affecting A/B testing a workflow, the A/B testing apparatus has failed to control for confounding factors and was probably invalid anyway. If OSX is known to render differently than Windows (and it's not just fonts), why are you comparing cohort A from Windows to cohort B from OSX? That is an analysis error.

Because people's threat levels are different. There is nothing you can do to escape from the NSA, for example.

But there are things you can do to prevent advertisers, or other adversaries from just getting your data.

And for most people, that's what they're looking for. I can't imagine I'm very interesting to the NSA, for example. But I'm probably very interesting to a large number of corporations and organizations competing for my attention.
> because "em" are still defined in terms of "px" at the root element

No they're not, they're tied to the resolved font size of the current element they're in.

That matters if someone overrides part of the CSS, so even from a pure engineering perspective this makes a real difference. It also matters if the user changes the font size of their browser.

`em` units define font size in relation to the current font size. That font size might be set elsewhere in CSS using pixels, it might be set by the browser. It might be set using viewport width, it might be set using percentages. It might be set in pixels and overridden by the user using the browser's minimum font size feature.

In all of those cases, as a designer you will be glad that you used `em` units for container width and child text rather than pixels.

> Nobody does that anymore. That was how browsers zoomed two decades ago.

This is how Firefox's default font sizing works today. I listed that zoom option so it would be easier for you to play with it, that's the only reason. But if you go into your settings and change the default font size of the browser (which is absolutely something that people who have bad vision still do today), then you will see the same result in the JSFiddle I linked.
The chart shows a trend over the last few centuries towards earlier blossoming, but it definitely precedes Co2 levels and actual temperature changes. Which is interesting.

So from a pure tech perspective, would a service that simply generates UUIDS and hashes and signs them into a NFTs be equivalent?
The article you linked clearly shows lines labeled "baseline", "descender", "Latin x-height" and "ascender".

And yes, it says do not use the term "cap height" but I already stated that a more inclusive term would be better. It's still obvious what's being referred to.

In current practice (e.g. put roman and Arabic fonts next to each other on the same line in your browser), the Latin "baseline" and "cap height" lines clearly are conceptually equivalent to the Arabic "descender" and "ascender" lines.

Do you see it now?

I don't understand how anyone's trying to argue that there are languages that don't have obvious logical top/bottom boundaries (or right/left for vertical scripts) for basing font metrics on.
My point is, there is no size fits all. Maybe you only have Some(data)/Nothing. Maybe you have a Some(data)/NoData/MissingData/Error(err)/CthuluLivesHere.

It's better you develop one for you and that suits you, rather than just a set of null-likes that are similar in meaning, but different in semantics.
I think people here are being quite short sighted.

Yes, the impermanence of many (most) NFTs right now is a big problem, but that is a problem that many are working on and I expect to largely be solved within a year.

A few things of note:

https://artblocks.io/learn

ArtBlock allows generative artists to create a script, which a user can then mint an artwork whereby a unique hash passed to that script creates an output. This leads to the creation of a cohesive set of visual works, but with each piece having a unique feel that still feels part of the set. See Archetypes or Ringers for two well known collections on ArtBlocks. The script and hash is all stored on chain.

https://www.deafbeef.com/

This artist has created C-code that lives on chain which can re-create the audio and visual components of the media you are buying. So you can always re-create the media with what is stored on chain.

There are numerous other projects that are storing the media "on chain".

Other projects store a hash of the file you are purchasing in the NFT, and then point the URL to an IPFS gateway. As long as someone on the IPFS network is hosting the media, the hash will find it. Their are platforms being created to assist with this (e.g https://infinft.com/#about)

See also Arweave and Filecoin, which are decentralized networks that can be used to incentivize others to store the media (in Arweave's case, potentially "forever").

This space will continue to evolve and new standards will be developed to address these issues.

In the meantime though, it is definitively caveat emptor and I would urge diligence as to how any NFT you might purchase handles these types of issues.

Since the Wii Nintendo has been successful occupying a different niche than Microsoft/Sony. The Xbox and the Playstation both sell based on top-of-the-line (console) performance; the Switch sells for other reasons.

I doubt either Microsoft or Sony are going to change tack and try to fight Nintendo (and probably lose) on Nintendo's home turf.
