Well not caring about prices for one. I don't look at price tags for every day things, I just buy them. Healthcare is much easier as you get more access and can just pay for better doctors. For example, my psychiatrist is 700/hr compared to a shitty insurance accepting psych. Mental health on insurance in general is terrible.

Just in general, life is easy when you have money. Its not the case in other countries because they are more equal, so in that respect America is exceptional. Really sucks for everyone else though

This tracking method (WebGL) disregards VPNs, user agent changes and incognito mode.

Browser fingerprinting is the ability of the website you are accessing to differentiate between you and other people because of a "fingerprint": A hash string that uniquely identifies your current browser, and since its using WebGL, your computer, because of its configuration and graphical capabilities.
Or for that matter I’m looking forward to learning more about nix which promises sort of the holy grail in these matters
Just noticed, why isn't there a site setting for WebGL in Chrome?
It really is hard to make the case for pluralism, and ideas related to it, like the free market and natural selection, over centralization/homogeneity and its corollaries, like planned economies and intelligent design.

The latter are more compelling in a shallow analysis. The former are based on a lot of extrapolation, so I think the immediate impression many have is that they're based on wishful thinking / ideological fundamentalism.
#2 is using a DisplayLink device to run multiple monitors. I presume the other videos do too.

There's no trick or way around this on an M1-equipped Mac. Something else will be handling the graphics.

DisplayLink generally works excellent for running most apps. It does not work well where you’re pushing a bunch of bits at the screen rapidly, eg. First person shooters or high definition video.

That said, one of my DisplayLink monitors is used for IP camera feeds, and while the little traffic light on the USB dongle is blinking incredibly fast, I don’t notice any stutters.

Everyone already knows about this and the author mentions this in their post.

Isn't outsourcing essentially a tax avoidance? Companies look for cheap labour overseas because they don't want to pay local rates, which typically include higher tax and cost of adhering to any regulations. If a person tried to do this - for example outsourced their bank account to tax haven and asked their salary to be paid there, the authorities would be all over it.
So now the fact that companies are not only not hiding the fact they are trying to bypass the system, they also are lobbying governments to make it easier! I for a second don't believe that there is no money under the table involved. Why otherwise politicians would choose to funk up the local population to appease a big corporation?

Bottom line is that outsourcing should only be possible if it was not possible to create a product locally or companies should pay any difference in tax locally, so that people who got put out of jobs because of this can at least get benefits.

And finally I don't understand why even discussing doing any deals with China does not amount to farting in a room.

Browser fingerprinting allows you to identify uniquely a browser and thus the user. This usually means that VPN and incognito mode will not help you to "change you identity".

One example I know well is AudioContext fingerprinting with a demo available here: https://audiofingerprint.openwpm.com/

There are also worse fingerprinting methods that work cross-browsers.
Snowden was an IT contractor, how does he know what the “US intelligence community” would and wouldn’t do?

Not that he’s necessarily wrong, but it seems like a leap to go from Snowden saying something he believes, to a certainty that “the US military can and will assassinate US citizens in the middle of manhattan”.
It looks like they've made the minimum amount of code that will execute (but not pass the tests). By using a variable instead of just hardcoding 0 into the return they give you a specific thing to assign to and as long as you leave that return t bit alone at the end your code will work.

Though, in that case, the solution is so trivial that t is completely unnecessary.

That's a really good point.

Yeah it was statically hosted in the end (initially it wasn't quite static). When it was at its most popular, the total site size including JavaScript was around 70kb as far as I can remember, so it didn't come anywhere near as high as 70TB.
IMO a valid, human readable README file is will always also generate readable rendered output.
I presume it is to prevent a NameError if you run the template without adding any code.

Tether mediates a lot of the BTC/USD-exchanges. At the same time there are rumours that tether has insufficient USD backing, so if there is ever a bank run, exchanges will be unable to pay. At that point it will be too late for a tether alternative. And after the "big tether crash", regulation will be a lot harsher on exchanges and possibly all crypto currencies, which will continue to depress courses. And I really don't know if the alternatives are any better.

Go was perfectly usable without an IDE, before gocode broke. And I'd still rather program C without any help than Java.
Even easier (from the user's perspective) solution:

1. Make a photo of her own radio.

2. Put that photo on a tablet device.

3. Allow her to click on the photo where the buttons are.

4. Adjust stations/volume accordingly.

Next step: physically operate her own radio remotely :)

Or: let her bring her own radio, and use internet and an FM transmitter to relay the signals.
I always figured it had more to do with the kind of systems were using back in the days of old - flat and dull sounding by default. Most cars I remember being in, in the 80's and 90's maybe had quad 4" speakers with no tweeters, and a portable radio or walkman was pretty lo-fi sounding as well. So the bass and the highs would be hyped up to make it sound better for the average listener?

basically no two systems are the same, and if the website can gather enough information about your system, it can identify you, even through a VPN or in incognito mode.
Popular information for fingerprinting include: your browser, the country you are in, your language(s), your graphic card (through webgl), the fonts installed on your computer, the size of your screen (or your browser window), ...
Re: use cases for quantum computing:
- I spent 4 years at D-Wave and now 2 years at QCI working on apps/tools for quantum computers, mostly focused on constrained optimization. I know a fair amount about how to use D-Wave's annealing QPU and a smidgen about how to use gate-model QPUs but am not a quantum physicist.
- Yes, the QPUs available via AWS' Braket are real QPUs that run real quantum problems, and cost real money. :) IBM, Honeywell, and others have QPUs available directly from the vendor.
- To my knowledge there are no real-world problems that today deliver better performance quantumly than classically. (In my view, Google's quantum-supremacy demo of October 2019 was a major milestone but not a real-world problem.)
- The use cases that have a chance to be useful before 2030 need to exploit noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers, which for gate-model QPUs means foregoing most of the digital nature of the gate model and using it like an analog computer. Or D-Wave's annealing-based QPU, which is inherently analog.
- To my way of thinking, ~all near-term use cases will actually be hybrid classical/quantum, in part because today's QPUs are smaller than ~all real-world problems, and hence the attention must be on the overall algorithm and not just the QPU.
- In my view, the 2 leading use cases are simulation of quantum effects and constrained optimization (and I count AI/ML as a close cousin of constrained optimization), which both can derive value from near-term QPUs. For simulation of quantum effects I'd point to the work of Andrew King et al. from D-Wave [1]. For constrained optimization I'd point to the work of Hadfield et al. [2] and Harrigan et al. [3] as well as the host of problems that have been targeted at D-Wave systems over the last few years [4]. Traveling salesperson is a good canonical problem; the constraints are to visit every city and wind up where you started and the objective function is (say) fewest miles traveled.
- Here at Quantum Computing Inc., we are focused on a) constrained optimization as the most likely generally useful near-term capability, b) exposing APIs that enable subject-matter experts (in something other than QC) to use QPUs to solve real-world problems, and c) delivering strong classical performance as a building block for earliest quantum advantage, e.g. our paper on graph partitioning [5]. <shamelessCommerce> Our Qatalyst quantum-acceleration platform delivers these capabilities today, along with access to QPUs; see documentation at [6]. </shamelessCommerce>

Hope that helps.

He was against the concept of street.
Light was more important than people.

In fact, many of the proponents of this school of thought are going as far as considering that the constraint of having people living in their space is a hindrance preventing them to fully express their ideas.

Came here to make much the same comment. I cannot tell you how many videos of his I have watched regarding complex mathematical subjects which are well beyond me, yet still he allowed me to walk away with a reasonable understanding. His clear explanations coupled with impressive visualizations make for a powerful learning experience.

Well, it's set in the degeneration era of latter-day Numenor, with proud long lived mortals struggling against "divine" (at least the Ainur) ban on sailing west and their immortal favored children. That society should look a lot like Game of Thrones' Rhllorism at the end I'd say. Complete with human sacrifices, dark magics, etc. Should be fun.
Slightly off-topic, but as much as I like all these low-tech websites (and I really do!) - I think I need some sort of extension that does this:

}

Because trying to read full width text on modern resolutions is way too wide, and I don't even run my browser full screen - I have no idea how people that do, can read it.

Yeah I'd say "1 to 5" is a "log, discretized scale". :-)

Anyway, I don't mean all my assertions to be correct, the scale was tongue in cheek for example. I hope to promote interesting debate.

IQ, BTW, is a fundamentally flawed characteristic. It exists in public consciousness as some universal measure of intelligence. It isn't. Intelligence is multidimensional, not a line. And second, the tests are culturally specific, and somewhat arbitrary in retrospect. Buuut, anyway, that's a debate for another time :)
A lot of work has been put into accessibility on the web, and the "semantic HTML" document model that works so poorly for apps helped too. There's no reason accessibility needs to be bad for anything non-HTML, at least not with supporting screen readers.

I also think text not being selectable by default is an OK default for apps (actual desktop-grade apps, not websites with interactive elements).

Right now, in 2021, it's probably a bad idea to create a web app with Flutter or any other non-DOM-based toolkit, but I don't think that will be the case forever. The native apps I use are all as good as or even better than browsers at being fast and battery-friendly. They might achieve that by being more limited and not supporting all the features and usecases of HTML5, and that's perfectly fine. It's not impossible that we'll see similar high-quality GUI frameworks inside browser runtimes.
As a non-native speaker of English, I really dislike this idea.

I indeed make this very error, but I prefer to rely on tools such as Grammarly to help me improve my abilities, than to other people to start accepting my mistakes as basically the natural mutation of the language.

Yes, a language mutates, and a simple language may be more welcome, but we don't need to force it. Let it happen naturally.
What specific workloads? If you bought a 16GB machine to keep 32GB of data in RAM then clearly you bought the wrong machine. But I am able to run WAY more applications in 8GB than the 16GB intel Mac I had previously.
Regardless of how you define bare-metal, OP has a point here. Besides from bespoke web applications (which should be fully packages and signed, btw.), execution of turing-complete code inside the browser is pointless. At best, it helps to workaround certain limitations (bandwidth, browser quirks), or proves the UX of a page. But mostly it is just getting in the way or outright used against the user.
I'm excited to learn Rust actually so we might support it soon!

It's not trivial to add support new languages since the engine app that runs user-submitted code needs to be able to run arbitrary code in your chosen language and needs a way to communicate with Python (either directly or through JSON passing).

So far we've just been adding support for languages we know and use.

But indeed there are hundreds of languages out there that would be nice to support in some way. I'm gonna think about how we can add a new "submission mode" where you're given a couple of test cases that you run manually with any language then submit your solution.
Where is the line between "hardware state machines" and firmware? Flashability? Existence of programmable storage on the device? Other?

An attack directed at your own govt is potentially a nightmare for the average individual. If the wrong information is stolen it could be used much farther down the road. Your govt may find itself at a disadvantage at a critical moment.

You can represent them, but that's about it.

Most of the ideas behind the "YouTuber" phenomenon were present in Wayne's World, the Saturday Night Live skit/movie series about two metalheads shooting a public-access show from their basement. Doubtless Wayne's World inspired this kid, and many others like him, to do his own public-access show for real.

It also appears he's using a Video Toaster to do the titling, transitions, chroma keying, and artwork. The Video Toaster was the first device within consumer/prosumer reach to be able to do that kind of graphical effects in real time on analog video.

The early 90s were an exciting time. The seeds of "user generated" video content were being planted, and amateur video was making the jump from "home movies" to actual productions.

SS7 is dead except in legacy switches. IMS started rolling out in 2004(ish), and replaced most voice switching with SIP, which gradually flowed out towards customers.

Most voice installed for the last 10 years is already over IP. If it doesn't start in the CPE, then it starts at the curbside or lot where a DSLAM or equivalent generate dial tones, pack it onto IP packets and send it over a fiber connection.
> Does that mean that all systems are compromised? No, because there are risks associated with tapping in to these systems. Partly it depends on if they have access to the systems, but mostly on the possible blow-back if they get caught.

Isn’t it common knowledge that the US and China is spying on everyone? The main difference is that China is not a military ally, and its government spying, which is unfettered, supports its private enterprise that is government financed and owned.
US govt spying is unfettered. US corporate spying far more restricted because US businesses are bound by Federal and State laws, and it’s not centrally coordinated, instead US businesses are autonomous entities. And though US corporate spying on customers is rampant, it is also transparently written into usage contracts. US corporate spying is obviously for profit, and since the US and Europe are strategically tied through NATO, it’s not on the same threat level. China and its axis ally Russia, clearly bump up against the West because our political systems are fundamentally opposite, democratic vs autocratic.

What this translates to is Chinese investors are agressively running around buying into key strategic businesses, advised by data gathering in coordination with its government, with a view to maintaining control, which reflects how the country is managed itself.

American investors are running around buying/competing against business in coordination with data rich parent company entities, with a view to making money. But because it’s a democratic country where laws preserve autonomy even against the government, it’s a free for all and anyone can play, even Chinese owned American companies. Which is a reflection of how the US is managed itself.

This is also how Europe is managed, so I do believe Chinese control of telcos is a bigger threat to Europe’s way of life.
Some of these are probably fingerprinting but the Twitch one isn't (I worked on the video system at Twitch for a number of years).

"player-core-variant-....js" is the Javascript video player and it uses WebGL as a way to guess what video format the browser can handle. A lot of the times mobile android devices will say "I can play video X, Y, Z" but when sent a bitstream of Y it fails to decode it. WebGL allows you to get a good indication of the supported hardware features which you can use to guess what the actual underlying hardware decoder is.

This is sadly the state of a lot of "lower end" mobile SoCs. They will pretend to do anything but in reality it just... doesn't.
It's definitely an interesting question -- the "death of the author." Personally, as a reader, I draw the line at disagreeing with explicitly stated intentions of authors if I find those intentions are well-evidenced in their texts. In the case of LotR, I would be inclined to say that they are -- but an element of subjective judgment will always trouble these discussions.
I don't vape. My knowledge of oil chemistry is on shaky ground and I've already deleted one comment because I blurted something out half remembered and was like "Wait. That's not actually correct."

What I'm telling you is that glycerin is not a lipid, though it appears to be a building block of lipids. So glycerin being a basis for vaped products is irrelevant.

My general understanding is any amount of oils going into the lungs is a bad idea. This is not about medicinal dosage. This is about mechanically blocking lung function.

ANGLE is not a virtual machine but a translation layer from OpenGL ES (on which WebGL is based) to Direct3D. Inappropriate translation would result in a direct exploit unlike VM, since AFAIK there is no practical means to sandbox shaders. In some sense it is akin to JIT in a kernel which has the roughly same security ramification.
