YouTube does not (currently) send CSP headers from what I can see in the dev tools. Hacker News does, but it specifies "unsafe-inline" which negates most of the protection. Not aware of any sites with more locked down policies off the top of my head; it's not exactly an advertised feature of most sites.
If one's objective were to unmoor the perspective of the speaker from shared truth and their sense of identity, this seems like the tool. I think they used to call it "brainwashing."

I think you missed the point.

When one cartel dies, there isn't immediately a beneficial alternative.

Much like in this case - if Shell leaves, there is nothing that automatically means the new actor who fills that role will offer hydrogen, solar, etc. Least friction means the new actor will just be another petroleum company.

Viable alternatives need to be in place and/or ready to immediately deploy, I think was OP's point.
Yep - just looking at the reception my comment has recieved, you are absolutely correct about "running away or shouting down".

It's not just "China is burning coal", it's "China is burning coal to make all the crap we want/need and buy from them".
Going back to the OP. Is there something in the article that you would claim as untrue? Same advice here.

I own a Steam Controller, Steam Link, and a Valve Index. They're all excellent devices and I really wish I had purchased a second Steam Controller and Steam Link when they were clearing their inventory. Even after discontinuing the hardware, the devices have continued to function as well as they ever have (actually even better thanks to continued updates).

I'm not surprised Valve has trouble continuing to produce hardware with low sales volumes. That said, they have certainly proven themselves to me with the quality of their devices so this one naturally has my attention. I don't buy products until reviews are out, but this one sounds pretty good on paper. The GPD Win 3, Aya Neo, and One Xplayer have all already proved the concept is viable and I'm excited to see Valve's take on it.

Also, to be fair the whole reason they stopped making Steam Links is because there are many other products out there now which can run the Steam Link software. Their hardware offering simply became redundant. There's no shame in discontinuing a product which no longer makes sense for the overwhelming majority of potential buyers.

Discord works perfectly fine as a simple webpage with a basic email/password user account. In that sense it's actually significantly more accessible than IRC, which is not web-native and does require the use of either a client or some web bridge.
Hulu is majority owned by Disney who'll likely want to keep it running as a separate subscription service like ESPN in order to charge multiple content subscriptions.

The major players I expect to be around after the streaming wars ends is: Netflix, Amazon, Disney and Apple. I expect most of the other platforms are going to end up as premium channels that you can subscribe to and watch on the other platforms, which you can do already in AppleTV+ and Amazon Prime.

HBO and Hulu will be around as long as they have exclusive content they can't stream on other platforms. I don't expect HBO's content & licensing strategy of limiting it to higher margin cable services will last. In Australia you can only watch HBO through Foxtel which I'll never do, basically anything that's not accessible from Netflix, Prime, Disney+ or AppleTV+ doesn't exist for us.

If the platforms were banned from producing their own content I expect it would dramatically favor platform owners like AppleTV+ where most iOS users would use to watch their content on as they can do now. Owning the UX would make them like Amazon.com storefront for 3rd party sellers, giving them unilateral power over the discovery of content, e.g. over time they could favor their own content, which is behavior I'd expect from Amazon, for Apple I think they'd be happy to just own the streaming platform as another lock-in & drawcard for iOS users.

Utter bollocks. Babbage never built his analytical engine, so I doubt Fourier, Foote and their contemporaries were using climate modelling software.
Odd. From my perspective, there is no "perfect" PID tuning, so this function is confusing. I fly drones, and I adjust the PID tunings depending on how I'm flying: acrobatics, racing, filming, instruction, etc. Is there a function to tune the tuner? :) What I mean is: changing P impacts responsiveness to the transmitter controls, D affects wind gusts and sudden changes (fast loops anyone?), I is more for racing, its a bit more complex than that but you get the gist. Why pick one set?

EDIT: (a) I didn't actually use the Webapp, after using it, there's more to it than my oversimplification. (b) I'm referring to the rates, not the PIDs. Thanks to the folks below ('pdituner' and 'somehnguy').

Why is it expensive for studios if streaming companies don’t care about bandwidth? What are they paying for then?

> Also, it sounds unreasonable to tell a company whose principal product produces CO2 to stop making it.

It's not saying that. The primary thing the court order does is move up the timeline from Shell's own stated goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 45% by 2035. It moves the deadline to 2030 and makes it legally binding instead of pinky-swear.

The author got their point across - I understand the author is frustrated with Stripes business practices. However, the author fails to get me to agree with their view, in part because of the poor taste comparison of Stripe to record industry executives. The author tries to keep the record exec comparison to the record industry's fiscal stranglehold over artists, but as a reader all I think about are the stories that have come out from the girls that were physically taken advantage of by those execs. It feels like a dog whistle, and in my opinion discredits the rest of the argument.

Exactly. For personal protection you use n95 or better and know it’s not perfect. If you don’t care about personal protection but want to reduce spread in a community then getting large groups to wear any face covering will help, but not nearly as much as social distancing which renders masks meaningless. For community spread, again not personal safety, it’s best to just stay home altogether. Masks are like pulling out during sex, a very imperfect way to compensate for bad behavior (not social distancing).
I collect payments on my website with PayPal and Stripe, and am satisfied with neither. So what alternatives do I have?

From my perspective, the advantage of PayPal is that users worldwide can pay in weird currencies and it just works. Stripe is much better designed but I'm not keen on their plans for world domination. I just want a payment system that works and does not take exorbitant fees for routine transactions.
Netflix is terrible if you have good taste in movies.

I'm with you on the old black/white movies.

I actually think Amazon got a great deal buying MGM.

If TCM was available, Nefflix should look into buying it. They have a great library of old movies.
It’s worth noting that pure PPI isn’t a good predictor of being able to render pre-digital designs well. Hermann Zapf’s Optima is the classic example of this. It was one of the first Type 1 fonts released from Adobe/Linotype back in the 80s and was an immediate disappointment at anything less than 1200ppi because the subtle aspects of the design were lost in the digitization process. A renewed digital recut of the typeface might resolve some of the issues, but the consensus at the time was that 300ppi was nowhere near enough to properly render Optima’s design.
The absolute hardest sci-fi I've ever seen is probably near-term cyberpunk or stuff like The Martian. That stuff is pretty rare. Even most "hard" sci-fi requires some suspension of disbelief. The difference between hard and soft is whether one must go entirely into the realm of fantasy to suspend that disbelief, or whether it just requires the assumption of non-linear advances in technology or superhuman intellect.
Another example of capitalism's relentless pursuit of value extraction from anything and everything with no consideration given to the side effects, because money is the only way to measure success and importance in our society. We should be building a society for the benefit of everyone, instead of building a society optimized for value extraction for the benefit of a small few.

It doesn't really have to be any such fancy configuration dialect, even though I think they are much better than YAML with Jinja abominations you can find in Ansible or K8s Helm.

All that is needed are functions that can either directly contact the remote or build data model with which the tool will later do its magic.

See e.g. how you define infrastructure with Pulumi. It's just an example. I'm not advocating it. In fact, I have zero experience with it. But the point is, that it looks like imperative programming, but you're actually just building some model. You can employ language that's more functional. It doesn't matter.

Everytime someones mentions idempotence as a selling point of YAML abominations, they're mistaken. :-)
Hopefully we can force similar rulings in other countries and on the EU level. This ruling may be a precedent since it is partially based on the European law.

That's why Biden while being a relief to north-americans(and i completely agree) its worse for the rest of the world at least from the perspective of enforcing north-american policies and legislation worldwide (read big-co, intelligence agencies).

Given Trump focus on the internal affairs of the US, while the political climate was toxic at home, at least it let all others breath a little.

Now with Biden it will star all over again.. North-american companies, intelligence agencies, basically the status-quo interests being enforced all over..

At least now the government is caring about the environment and as while at home the policies are more left-leaning, i bet the will not be the same for foreign countries, and i expect things like copyright enforcement to gain more strength (basically all the traditional corporate and government bullies)

From the perspective of international political affairs its the resurgence of the good'ol "United Corporations of America" policy enforcement.

Surprisingly, that requires only minor changes to render it into E-prime, because old Will carefully chose his words to say what he meant clearly instead of falling back on the vague and fuzzy "be". This version suffers metrically, I think:

To exist, or not to exist: that question burns:

Whether a nobler mind would suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or would take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh inherits, the best devoutly wish for

This consummation. To die, to sleep;

To sleep: perchance to dream: but that prospect brings terror,

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause: the respect

That makes calamity of so long life;

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscover'd country from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;

And thus the native hue of resolution

Yields its place to the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents turn awry,

And lose the name of action.—Soft you now!

The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons

They will remember all my sins.

Going by the dates on Wikipedia, the 2015 Chromebook Pixel had 6 years and 3 months of updates. The Pixelbook will have 6 years and 6 months, the Pixel Slate 7 years and 9 months, and the Pixelbook Go 6 years and 9 months.

1st gen Chromecast stopped getting feature updates after 6 years, but as far as I can tell is still in scope for security fixes. 2nd gen Chromecast seems to still be fully supported 5.5 years after release with no EOL announced yet.

These all seem like very reasonable amounts of time. How long do you think support should actually last?

Is the 5G Race Worth Winning? Amazon Laughs
Amazon's continuous expansion is resulting in powerful monopsonies - if you want to for example create your own book, soon there is going to be no option but to sell it to Amazon so it will be in kindles and on audible. Amazon will have complete power over what cut of the profits to give you.
Why bother making that new product you thought of when the only way to sell it is by listing it on Amazon and eventually having Amazon copy it and sell under "Amazons Choice".

So while Amazon is great for consumers, it is terrible for producers. And you have to remember - if you have a job you are a producer too. For now you are getting cheaper and more convenient service, but soon you will be struggling to find a job if this continues.

That is true, that is why there is a slider in the tool that allows you to trade-off performance for robustness. The bode plot is also an indication on how the closed loop performs in frequency domain, so you would normally choose different tunings according to specific use cases (e.g. some frequency response for tracking and a different one for just regulating)
So if you are a judge when you decide if there is a law breaking you also first check who is the criminal and let him free is is someone important?

In this case I think the judges did the right thing, people can demand the government to create a new law where some special companies can get exceptions for the damages they cause.
