> What adding this header does is exclude your website from being used when calcualting a user’s cohort. Cohorts are calculated locally from browsing history; sites that send this header will be excluded from this calculation.

That's exactly the point, so where's the misinformation?

Edit: The information from Google seems to be contradictory. From https://web.dev/floc/

> For pages that haven't been excluded, a page visit will be included in the browser's FLoC calculation if document.interestCohort() is used on the page.

This seems to imply that not calling document.interestCohort() (or not having ads on the page during the trial) is the same as opting out. But then on https://github.com/WICG/floc#opting-out-of-computation

> A site should be able to declare that it does not want to be included in the user's list of sites for cohort calculation. This can be accomplished via a new interest-cohort permissions policy. This policy will be default allow.

This makes a lot more sense. Why would Google want to exclude sites from calculations just because they don't make use of the FLoc cohort themselves?
Modern renewable power is like a server farm, whereas nuclear power is like an old mainframe. Server failure is built into the server farm model, whereas mainframes try to avoid failure through expensive redundancy in the mainframe server.
> A README is meant for someone who is first encountering the project to be able to quickly decide if they want to learn more about it.

In the past, by time I got to the readme I had already downloaded the project. It’s kind of weird how places like GitHub rendering the readme have changed the practice.
> because actual grit varies between 0 and +Infinity.

The article itself mentions that we measure it in a scale from 1 to 5.

Also, that’s a whole lot of assertions you got there, and most of them look very wrong. IQ (to quote the most obvious) is pretty much always good to have, and the more the better.

You could do that? Well, you probably could.

But there are some "proactive" DPIs that make a request themselves before letting you through. Would this protect against that? It's easy to set up a regular web server that would serve what everyone would see as an ordinary personal website, except when you make a request to a secret URL.

> I’d like to help others make better free and open source software so I’m making this standing offer: I’ll review your README for free.

On a more global discussion, I feel like a lot of experienced people are willing to help, or teach for free on subjects such as, startups, programming, product management, data science, tech subjects ... (and I assume on other non-tech topics also) but it is always hard to find people to help. I mean you could join a charity, but it is not the same thing as being close to one person and helping him in topics he is not good at.

Does anyone know a community where one can find people to help individually ?
It does say Huawei also knew which numbers were tapped by police and intelligence services.

If that's true it's bad enough. But it sounds like they are just saying Huawei engineers had access to the internal network at certain times for debugging purposes. Which is not surprising at all.
Nano: Most Eco Friendly Cryptocurrency
Many many people have already gotten out, with things ending brilliantly for them. Out of being smarter? No, through pure dumb luck. But this notion that "the average person who holds forever can't win, ergo nobody can win" doesn't make your analysis look particularly insightful.
So, now we know Nassim Taleb missed the crypto boat. As did I and many others. Because if he didn't he wouldn't have posted this.

And what nonsense. "A currency must earn interest" <- this guy is really full of sh*t sometimes. I really do not understand why he has the reputation that he has.

It's perfectly possible to lend your bitcoins to someone and generate a return on it, that's what contracts are for and has nothing to do with the currency itself.

> some crazy trade-conflict or other global unforeseen event

if that event happens, either it doesn't affect you that much, or it affects you so much that bitcoin will not help.

There's no scenario in-between those two, for which i can see bitcoin be the rescuing currency.

Unless you're not in the developed world of course - like in venezuela, or turkey (likely to start to hyperinflate due to mismanagement from their central bank). In that case, bitcoin makes perfect sense to own.
Money works because if you don’t deliver a denomination to the tax office then they take all your stuff off you and throw you in jail.

My pet peeve with READMEs: usage of excessive adjectives to oversell your project. Famous culprits: "blazingly fast" or software that is "beautiful" or creates "beautiful" things.
I don't think it is controllable by the font; the only issue I can see if these lines and corners are not extended all the way to each character cell's bounding box.
To prevent half assed refactoring in the first place where only namespaces and classes get refactored while folders and filenames remain as they were. It would just further confuse new devs on the project.
There are some crucial differences between Facebook and your TV, though. Your TV shows you content from a set list of channels which content providers like Fox have made commercial arrangements to broadcast on. So if you want to watch Fox, you go to their channel.

Facebook has profiles so you can still go to Fox's profile page, but the default way of interacting with it is via a stream that Facebook's algorithm tailors through magic algorithm pixie dust.

More importantly, this pixie dust could hypothetically decide that one party is spreading misinformation that doesn't belong on their platform while another party speaks only truth. And they'd technically be within their rights to do so as an online community, but since we've let them become the online community, that power in the hands of a single company poses problems for society.

Because media self-censorship (such as on TV) is bound only by the minimal legal requirements rather than the whims of some algorithm concocted by Silicon Valley, the desire of this upcoming bill seems to be to give legacy media special privileges/negotiating power with online media platforms to enforce the legacy media status quo online.
blame musk all you want, he knows doge is a joke and treated it as such. same for doge creator. there's simply so much money looking to be put to work that people throw it around to see what sticks.

i don't believe that anyone trading doge isn't aware this is a ponzi. the only question may be if it's by design or by accident.

or maybe memes have value after all...
It's great that SN works well for you but reading about your workarounds/compromises do not make SN better but you as a user better.

For example, as you detailed, there is a way to recover your password but you have to do all the steps manually (although I still don't know how you are going to delete your account without your password...).

> Same about the UI - it’s perfect.

I am curious as to how no context menu for notes makes for a perfect UI for you.

The point is of course there are workarounds and ways to make things work for you and that's okay for a free app. If you pay for a service, you want that service to do every thing you want because that's the whole point.
In this sense bitcoin is just like any other currency: it works because we all believe it works. The second people stop believing in a currency is when it will implode, there are plenty of historical examples of this.
The title is misleading... my interpretation of the contents is that KPN outsourced the maintenance of their mobile core network to Huawei, and that Huawei personnel as a result had full technical access to the network. There is no evidence given than Huawei actually abused that access, which would indeed be major news.

I assume they had some contract to spell out the legal level of access that Huawei had... the level of technical access would presumably have been exactly the same had they outsourced the maintenance to a western company, the legal protections would presumably just have more weight in that situation.

The worrying part is that the owner of the network apparently lacked audit logs of any such technical level access. That's still just as much of a problem with insider threats if the company manages the network themselves?

Huh. It is possible that I simply didn't understand the spec, as I was (and am...) pretty sure that CONNECT-IP (at least at the HTTP semantics level) just takes a path (and only /)--like GET--without an associated "extra" authority, as it is creating an IP tunnel: there is no remote host (as there would be with an old-school CONNECT); like, what is the "target" here? I am just talking to the server and asking it to give me an IP bridge, right? What does "remote-server" represent to an IP tunnel?

There is no commitment to keeping the platforms in tier 1, 2 or 3 for any length of time or to provide advance warning before platforms are degraded, not to mention that the tier 1 list is vastly insufficient (Arm64, x86, x86_64).

Rustc is clearly meant to compile Rust applications and use for the Linux kernel, which from the point of view of this document would be narrower than tier 1, is highly experimental.

Is this the cost of geoengineering the entire planet or just a localized region? Does this cost include research? Is this guaranteed to work?

There is a lot of atmosphere out there, and there is a lot of CO2 in it. Spraying aerosol sounds a little like trying to stop a hurricane by exploding a nuke inside it. Not only will it do nothing to stop the hurricane, but now you’ve made the hurricane radioactive.

Your resume most probably getting stuck in automation hell where machines are filtering the resume looking for certain phrases and keywords. I will suggest that you review job descriptions for the type of jobs you are interested in, make a list of keywords from JDs. Include those keywords in your resume, and include details, from past jobs, experiences, training, online classes, expanding on those keywords in your resume.

Also, do A/B testing, apply for same job with different resumes, using different email address, phone number, and variation of your name, and see which one results in response back. This way, you will be able to refine your resume to better match for the jobs you are interested in.

Actually, I have been thinking about creating a service to help defeat job filtering automation being used by companies, basically feed the service job descriptions for type of jobs you are interested in, it spits out keywords that appear important, you create statements including those keywords and expanding on those keywords. Service automatically picks the appropriate statements and spits out a resume matching the job description of a particular job of interest.

There is a nominalization here, very typical of US people: Talking about success like it is one thing, and the same thing for everybody.

The fact is that there are as many different definitions of success as different people in the world.

For some people success is being free to travel the world without constraints or having lots of friends or having sex with lots of people. For others is raising a healthy family and spending lots of time with them. For other people is having power over others, other people want to have a second or third house. Other people want to have more money that they could spend. Or being famous. Other people want to get something significant that merits a Nobel Price.

There is this delusion that you could have it all, you could make yourself rich without working or risking anything, have all the time on the world, travel and be famous.

There is no such a thing. I have met elite sport people that are the best in the world, rich and famous, but they really hate being famous. They have very little time or freedom, and if they want to travel anywhere, specially in South America, Asia or Africa everybody knows they are rich and they can be kidnapped or blackmailed at any time. They can not trust the people around them, unless is family or old friends(or people as rich as them).

I have met very rich business people that don't have free time at all. The money they earn, the wife or children waste. Children getting addictions like drugs or alcohol because their parents send them to internship and demand from them only work and more hard work.

I have met travelers that have traveled dozens of countries, but were incapable of raising a family and always short of money because they stop working as soon as they have enough for discovering a new place.

For me personally success is learning, traveling the world and having free time. I sacrificed money in order to get what I wanted.

I got what I wanted, but had to sacrifice other things for it. Over time I got back most of the things I sacrificed, like money, probably thanks to the people I met along the way, but I did lose it first.

If success is only "economical success", most people from the US are way richer than 90% of the people in the world. They have non economic wealth like rule of law and legal security that in countries like China, most of Africa or in some countries in South America does not exist.

What a mountain of buzzwords! I miss Java Applets, which did many things better than the nonsense pushed today.

Java integration with the DOM was actually very nice. Thread support in Java was (and is) light years ahead of Python.

When writing a Java Applet, you had the feeling that you understood the entire app. No one knows what is going on in these new frameworks, which may explain the increase in data leaks.
Evolution I would imagine.

If a variable is useless it will mostly disappear; dominate for a time if particularly beneficial.

We do know with reasonable certainty that life is adaptable and likely to survive any man made catastrophe: as humans go extinct if they don't do much to prevent their effects on the ecosystem, Earth and life will likely find a new equillibrium for the mid-term future (millions of years).

But we are worried about short term future that directly affects the human species, and even knowing what environment we'd be living in for that short term (thousands of years).

If humans want to go past those thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years, it seems some change of behaviour is needed, and a better understanding of the inter-relations between species.
I have to say that I use Python a great deal and I just never run into these issues. Nor have I ever even used Anaconda, I just use virtualenvs and pip and it all works.

It's my guess that you are using a lot of Python libraries that are wrappers around C or C++ libraries which have dodgy cross-platform support, because I can't see another way this is happening. If so, it's hardly fair to blame Python for that...
In terms of accuracy, the authors mention it as a limitation, so probably it could be a problem.

In terms of runtime, it should not matter. Generally speaking though, the overhead of optical flow is often overlooked. For video DL applications, optical flow calculation often takes more time than inference itself. For academic purposes, datasets are often already preprocessed and the optical flow runtime is not mentioned. Doing real time video analysis with optical flow is quite impractical though.

By elite schools, I mean universities where a substantial part of the value to the students is the brand value and networking with people who can be expected to be particularly successful in the future. The UK has that at Oxbridge and to a lesser degree at other top universities. In France that means some grandes écoles. Germany traditionally didn't have elite schools, with the assumption that all universities are equivalent, but things may be changing. I'm not familiar enough with the Swiss system.
I don't see colonizing Mars as an alternative to fixing the major problems on Earth. We definitely need to do something about climate change whether we go to Mars or not. I see going to Mars as just something we're going to end up doing eventually anyways, as long as technology keeps advancing as it has. It used to be almost impossibly difficult to send people to Mars. Right now it's still hard, but becoming easier, mostly due to recent progress with respect to high-efficiency reusable rockets. In a hundred years it may be almost trivial. (Or not, if we don't address our climate and political and economic problems.)

Having access to space along with manufacturing and mining capabilities may give us some surprisingly large benefits in the long run. Right now the idea may seem a little silly because we don't even know for sure if we can do it, much less construct a plausible business plan to make a profit at the same time.
It would make more sense to colonize the bottom of the ocean than it would be to colonize Mars, even in disaster scenarios.

Inflammation can be good or bad.

You really don't want a section of a nerve to be inflamed because the body is attacking the coating, for example. You do, however, want the skin surrounding the scratch on your leg to have some inflammation to help close the cut.

None of this means you should regularly take an anti-inflammatory drug nor does it mean that an "anti-inflammatory" diet or other preventative measures will help, either. I view some of this as the latest pseudo-science, at least in the hands of most folks.
