Plenty of news sources come up in that Google search so you say "hearsay" and I say "reporting". Either way, the guy has literally thousands of hours of podcasts. I don't think someone needs to have listened to every single minute to have an opinion on the guy.

There is also a difference between someone with "contrarian views" and someone with dangerous views. I got no problem if he has someone on to talk about how we shouldn't introduce gun regulation in the wake of Sandy Hook. I have a problem with him giving a platform to someone who says Sandy Hook was fake, the parents who lost children are actors, and they should be harassed into admitting as much. Nothing good comes from giving a guy like that more attention, power, and money by having him on the show.

Human psychology is a thing. If you point a team at a growing pile of bugs that no one has wrapped their head around, then the team will feel demoralized, overwhelmed, and unmotivated. But if someone does wrangle the bug list and produce a plan and strategy for tackling them, then there is hope and mission and maybe you can even get buyin from management for more resources--maybe not headcount, but even just easing the roadmap for a year in pursuit of Quality.

The difference between "nobody has gone through this entire list" and "somebody has gone through this entire list" is huge.
Several years ago I copied the javascript function reproduced below from a HN comment and turned it into a shortcut in my browser called "Remove floaters":

javascript: (function () {var i,elements=document.querySelectorAll('body *'); for (i=0;i<elements.length;i++) {if (getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position==='fixed' || getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position==='sticky') {elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);}}})();

Some sites get upset but most don't. I'm very grateful to the original programmer who came up with this code.
I find ublock much more granular than umatrix. It can block all js and allow a particular one, block just a segment of inline scripts.

It can block separately a single script, image or any other request. I find it much better than umatrix which can't do many things that ublock does. If someone wantd to they can just install it and forget it also. Much more versatile.
I certainly can't offer any official word, but telemetry doesn't have enough data to spy on anyone, and the privacy policy spells this out pretty clearly. And if something snuck in, it's all open source and I imagine people would raise a big stink pretty quickly (whatever their political leanings were).

I remember that post, and I think you're mischaracterizing it. The point wasn't that "deplatforming is a good start, but we need to go even farther"; it was "deplatforming is not the right solution, we need something better".

As for trying to block harmful content -- Mozilla is already doing that, all the time, so you're certainly not going to get any promise there. Firefox blocks malware, sites with expired/mismatching certificates, things on the (un)safe browsing list, 3rd party cookies in some configurations, etc. Whether any of those constitute censorship is up for you to decide. Right now, it feels fine to me, but I agree that there's reason for concern. All the browsers have all the mechanisms necessary for censorship, and there's no way to crisply define "harmful".
There are many nasty feedback loops caused by severe poverty. Even the most basic things like being able to show up for a job interview in an arbitrary location at an arbitrary time wearing presentable clothing and a relaxed demeanour — try doing that when you can barely afford to use public transport and your daily schedule is rigidly monopolised by whatever terrible job/gig you currently rely upon to literally survive.

For all the criticisms of UBI, I think it would be a net win simply because it eliminates the significant time wasted in maintaining welfare entitlement.

> In the context of a court's ability to deal with them?

From the legal perspective, I think you're right that "at the end of the day" faked evidence is faked evidence and we do have protocols and processes for that kind of thing. Dismissing faked evidence is not new.

However, earlier you said this:

> There's literally nothing different about deepfakes.

I'd argue requiring AI/ML to create or invalidate deep fakes is _literally_ very different from generating fake emails, fake photos, or fake audio. It's also _literally_ different from things like CGI video. The standard of what counts as evidence is _literally_ changing as deep fakes evolve.

Validating video evidence, in the new era of deep fakes is now very different.

Your clarification about the context of the courts ability to deal with them is an example of how you were being disingenuous, in my opinion. You made a blanket statement about deep fakes are literally the same as other faked evidence and then afterwards put a clarifying condition around the statement to narrow it to the court's ability to deal with faked evidence.

If we're just talking about faked evidence and how to deal with it - I think we agree: Determine if evidence is legitimate however you have to, and then toss it out if it's not legitimate.

But we're talking about deep fakes in this context and your statements dismissed all of the things that make deep fakes different in the context of determining legitimate evidence, or how deep fakes will impact the court system. We are transitioning (over decades, already) from a standard of evidence of "This is video evidence of the truth of what happened" to "Some people think this video is probably not real." That's a big difference.
if you don't figure out the origin it's doomed to happen again.

My one of the main goals is protect the database structure as it is, because in big data age we should get data as fast as possible. I see your point to see this algorithm as a basically some sort of look-up table but actually it is not.

For example, we can think a well-developed city carries all data related to the city and the people to a big database. Then this city uses a TBCA that specialized for only the this big database's needs like a framework or engine method. However, this specific TBCA is not totally different than other TBCAs used in other types of databases like a game database since they have common propertries like people's names and surnames, the structure of a name database is generally same but TBCA plays huge rol in here, you can configure your algorithm with your needs like an optimizing. Today I am not sure how it should be done, maybe with an ML algorithm.

I wrote too much I know but my point is TBCA is not an specific algorithm like gzip or LZW it is a sub branch of compression like an universal set.

In the future, There may communities share their specificated algorithms for some structures and their datasets( frequency analysis). It will becomes a pool that you can choose best engine(structural method) and best dataset(freq. analysis) from there.
That the difference in canceling between the Western vs non-Western world is only in the cultural/norms dimension, is intellectually dishonest in my humble opinion.

A professor being canceled for saying e.g. that male and female brains are anatomically different, or worse, that non-binary genders is not a thing, has more to do with something else than culture/norms.

That something else is an interesting subject which has actually been discussed on JRE. :)

Assuming 60% of the population is employed (roughly more than the US average), that's just under a tenth of the workforce of 16k. Assuming 50% of the workforce is employed by small businesses (slightly more than national average), that makes them a fifth of all people employed by companies large enough to afford to really push local politics around. It's enough numbers to swing most controversial issues

It's not company town level of influence, though. A defining feature of which IIRC is that the company owned most or all other businesses in the town and often extracted most of the workers wage through extortionate pricing of basic goods and services.
about:performance is a little limited, especially if you have a single window, because switching to it makes it the foreground tab and all the other tabs background tabs. Background tabs can be throttled, and generally behave very differently.

That is such a straw man.

Kind of sad to see my point downvoted. How something is disproved is very important. It tells us our theory is wrong. When we see a theory is wrong we reject it - this is the crux of the scientific method. An experiment by its nature pushes a theory to its limits. Going back to the example of Michaelson Morley, the experiment confirms that ether does not exist. Yes, the outcome of the experiment is that the ether theory doesn't hold. Yes, special relativity explains the micelson morley experiment but the converse is not nessecarily true. Now it is possible that the standard model and general relativity are the absolute truth, buth it would be unscientific not to try to find better explanations.

Going back to your point about "do you care about how they disproved it?" Yes, I do, and you should too. The michaelson morley experiment was a properly performed scientific experiment with every step documented so someone could replucate it. It is a source of truth which I can trust. On the otherhand if a tom dick and harry claimed that they had a vision and that this vision told them relativity is not true, I would definitely not trust such a claim.

Your point about the result being important is valid. Yes, as an engineer or as a business man results are far more important than process. But a scientist, must care about the process more than the result. If they didnt we would not be able to trust their conclusions.

Wait the article doesn’t mention Adobe XD which is Adobe’s UI design tool that competes with Figma and Sketch. XD is great for my needs and with frequent updates it is always improving.

I’m also in the camp where Adobe shortcuts are burned into my muscle memory. I’ve tried the others but am more productive using the tools I know.

Photoshop and Illustrator alone are worth it also. Some amazing power that other tools just don’t have.
I think this title is a bit misleading. I'm guessing that NASA has a checklist along the lines of this for using open source software:

1. Verify that the license is compatible with how they're using the library (e.g. avoid GPL and viral licenses)

2. Verify that if the library is being modified, it's being done in a compliant way

3. Verify that the library isn't from an embargoed country and doesn't violate any sort of import/export regulations
On the ublock origin UI you can click a little icon in the toolbar pull up the settings for that page. There is a little icon you that shows you whether it is enabled or disabled both in the toolbar and in this settings page. Clicking it in the settings page toggles the state for that page which is retained next time you visit.

When you change the state a little refresh icon appears right behind the status icon indicating that the state of the page as shown doesn't match your setting. Clicking it reloads the page.

You could reload it automatically at state change but this might break whatever the user is in the middle of doing.

You don't have to have this feature but it is handy that the reminder that the page is out of sync is a button to fix this and that it is half an inch from your current mouse position.

How to Become a Quantum Software Engineer
Given that many people didn't bother washing their hands after using the toilet, didn't wash their fruits and vegetables and considering how e.g. restaurant tables are "cleaned", such overzealous cleaning was long overdue. Once the Coronavirus danger's over we'll be back to being our filthy old selves, if such articles don't already accelerate the transition :-)

That being said, I looked at the resources [#] which the CDC brief is using to make its 1 in 10000 claim and the evidence is pretty thin. One source which claimed a similar number (less than 5 in 10000) swabbed "high-touch surfaces" between March and June 2020 in Massachusets and then correlated that to community infections.
Another source was looking at how to reduce risk to 1 in 1.000.000 by using biocidals.

Finally, the Pitol and Julian study uses a model to estimate the risk. This is probably the source of the stat - "The overwhelming majority of interactions with fomites modeled (sic) were associated with risks less than 10^–4". Here are some details:

* the probability of infection was estimated based on a model built on SARS and MHV-1 infections in mice.

* the SARS-CoV-2 concentration on surfaces was taken from a study in Brazil and the already mentioned Massachusets study.

* "Contamination of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces in public spaces (e.g., traffic light buttons, train buttons) was modeled as a function of disease prevalence in the community and frequency of contact with the surface"

I really wish that the people writing these articles would make an effort, look at the studies and highlight the main assertions and conditions of the experiments instead of being so smug. Based on what I've ready myself, the 1 on 10.000 number is dubious.

@jeduehr No one established there was a consensus, nor should a consensus necessarily be respected out of hand even if there was one. (Recall that it was not long ago that there was ‘consensus’ that sc2 couldn’t pass human-to-human, or that non-healthcare workers shouldn’t wear masks to name a few examples). A lot of lab leak researchers _are_ scientists (microbiologists, genomics researchers & bioinformaticians). The profile you describe of an anti-GOF scientist is met by Marc Lipsitch of The Cambridge Working Group, and he is far from taking any position that states a wholly zoonotic origin for sc2:

> Average spending isn't very meaningful here because it's just a few people spending a lot - mostly elderly people, which of course has the effect of nobody inheriting anything anymore because it went to hospital bills.

That’s the same everywhere though. If you want to record the most expensive year of healthcare in someone’s lifetime, it’s a safe bet that the last year is going to be at, or near the top. Like has been compared with like.

> Plus we have working clothes dryers.

I’m missing something, and I suspect it’s obvious. What’s this about sorry?
I'm in the same boat. My main objection to uBO is the cryptic UI. I have no idea what the two columns to the right of a domain are as there's no column headings, or the two nested buttons in each column, one of which is grey (where I'd assume there'd be green to counter the red?), or the "+"/"++" that sometimes appear over said buttons... Or the green bars that creep in from the far left over the domain names, at staggering lengths.

The uMatrix UI on the other hand was incredibly intuitive, and more granular. Then again, maybe that comes down to me not understanding what the hell is going on with uBO's UI.
He has spoken about this on a number of different occasions. The one clip you happened to find at the top of your google search does not constitute everything he ever said on the topic.

This is where he's talking about MMA. There were other occasions where he mentioned disclosing it. I don't remember the exact episode and timestamp.

But like I said above (sorry, edited as I thought more). What does any of this have to do with promoting hate or violence? Does thinking people should compete in this or that competition somehow mean you hate them?
It would be if it was interpreted as an actual Roman number. But in this case it's treated as M x M.

The actual Roman version of a million is an M with a bar over it, where the bar means x1000. But that's not an ordinary character, so wouldn't work for this purpose.

It's not my project in the sense that I didn't start it, or do most of the work; I just enjoy contributing some fixes here and there and its my first experience working on a bootloader. There's a ton of great documentation (from the community, and ARM) at https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Main_Page as well as existing code to reference from others in the community. So I'm still in awe of how marcan goes about finding out how the hardware works without documentation from Apple (which IIUC he has done before with the Wii and BootMii).
