A regional catalog is downloaded routinely. The only "data" going out is your region (e.g. the United States). This returns a protobuf catalog of ads for your region. Your device privately studies this catalog for relevant entries. When an ad is shown, it's presented as a native notification on the OS. This means the user sees a title (text), and a body (text). Screenshots of these notifications are on https://brave.com/rewards. I also covered this model in brief detail recently https://youtu.be/LsrrT502luI (skip to about 3:22 if you like).

By C++98 the language was already a hot mess, only 13 years after the language debuted. It's been 10 years since Rust first appeared, and its featureset shows no signs of cruft, nor does its trajectory indicate that it's going to acquire a lot of cruft in the next 3 years.

I think it's more likely that Rust just benefited from lots of hindsight with respect to C++'s mistakes.

Note also that since C++11, the language has been evolving quite quickly and the features released since have been some of the most thoughtful.
German c't magazine tested all the main browsers in terms of privacy in the latest issue. Brave came out on top by a large margin. They even discovered that Edge sends a list of visited sites while in private browsing mode back to Microsoft!

I've heard some negative things about Brave but i'm willing to give it a try now because it may just be noise. I can imagine the advertising industry being very motivated to keep people away from Brave.
Different groups have different policies. I believe some do actually add you to a whitelist if you pay and grant you at least a year or two before your immunity expires. (Maybe some do permanent whitelists? Not sure.)
Fortunately for you, copyright doesn't work in a way which would allow that, so you are safe.
I think that was bad phrasing on GP's part. Rust only allows breaking changes for edition changes, which are opt-in. Libraries in older (or newer) editions can still be used together in your project, no matter which edition you are using. Rust allows for breaking changes in a way that doesn't actually break anything.
There are multiple ways to do variable ratio. Realistically Tesla is going to go with the cheaper "inconsistent gear pitch" design rather than the use electronics to hold ore move some object in your gear system to change the ratio" design. Look at how the design the rest of their car.
That introduces a scale problem. Even for the US.
I will probably never use Brave exclusively because of the fact that BAT shoots their privacy shtick in the foot. Why is my personal exploitation opt-in now? I don't want my browser to make money, and I certainly don't want to be caught in the crossfire while Adsense and other major providers roll out their circumvention mechanisms. Why is it so hard for people to just pick Firefox or a half-decent Chrome fork?

Except for the USN and RN (which uses US-derived designs), other navies using nuclear propulsion don't use such highly enriched fuel. Russia AFAIK uses somewhere around 30-40%, which is still classified as HEU, so problematic for civilian use, but most likely not directly usable in a bomb.

France runs on 7% enriched UO2 (although using plate-based 'caramel' fuel rather than cylindrical pellets in rods like typical civilian nuclear fuel). This requires them to refuel every 10 years rather than having life-of-ship reactors like the latest generation US submarine reactors, but OTOH French law requires reactors to be defueled and inspected every 10 years anyway.

As for space usage, launch weight restrictions make LWR style reactors impractical. Look at something like the NASA Kilopower as an example of what a (very small) space-based power reactor might look like. For nuclear propulsion like a nuclear thermal rocket, that's again a different kind of reactor pretty different from both LWR's and Kilopower.

Cool jobs vs. Not so cool jobs – put yourself on the hook before you compromise
I think the idea is this:

- Most people won't paypal/patreon/send money directly

- The current system uses ads as a shorthand for attention. If you're able to get attention you get more ad traction and more money.

- Ads suck and are a corrupting influence on everything, if there was a way to directly award attention without ads that would be better.

- Brave replaces ads by tracking attention directly and attempting to reward it directly with BATs. These is done instead of cash because (I'm not really sure why) - I suspect because it's easier to manage and easier to split into tiny amounts.

- Flattr from the late 2000s (2007?) was similar, but with cash (Flattr = Flat Rate) the idea being you'd put in $XX/month and it'd distribute it depending on what pages you viewed. It was created by some of the Pirate Bay founders iirc. It never got much traction.

The issues I have with these services:

- Ads are bad, but the attention economy is the underlying problem. Removing ads is good, but still incentivizing attention for $$ isn't great.

- In the case of 'privacy' Brave has now inserted themselves as the tracker of all attention, this is very high risk and not a lot better than the ad companies. Sure you don't see ads but a lot of the bad slot machine incentives around content remain.

- I don't want to necessarily pay everyone based on what I view, what if what captures my attention is crap? What if I'm reading something for context, but don't support it?

---

I get what they're trying to do, reward people without ads and without making users pay - but I'd rather the ad model just die and if some businesses can't survive without it we probably don't need them. I recognize this isn't super realistic because companies compete on a global stage.

A business truly operating in the interest of users would make a browser that had ad blocking built in without tracking - and worked on subverting ads full time (what users actually want). This includes real privacy by not being a new middle man tracking attention. Apple is the closest to doing stuff like this with their new onion router VPN, making it easy to block tracking from apps in the store, etc.

Brave pretends its interest is privacy and browser users, but it feels like a rationalization to me. Brave's core business is attention tracking and taking a cut of that, if not now - when they have more power. Its user's attention is what they monetize - those incentives don't lead some place good.
> I'll be honest, your reply is kind of all over the place, so I don't know what you're trying to get at.

I'll put it in a very simple TikTok format for you: TikTok is just the same as any other social media platform which is fundamentally in the interests of the investors (they want to IPO with a massive return on investment); Not you or the users. Why do you think I quoted 'used' here? [0]

> How are you expecting TikTok to "screw" its users?

They already did [1][2], which is my point. Therefore, I do not have any confidence that they will change or how they are any different to other social media platforms. Yet you continue to deny such basic things like 'censorship' [3] even when another user pointed out a source [4] that included leaked information about TikTok's own suppression actions; completely debunking your vacuous claim.

> And what's the big deal with users just leaving the platform if this does happen?

That's not my problem. Another platform will just take its place and screw over their users over the interest of the investors (If they take capital).

So far with all your responses, you have provided ZERO evidence to your claims. I will ask one more time: 'How long until the users get screwed (once again)?'

The first time I saw this (using female pronouns for an unidentified person instead of "him/her" or "they") was in RMS's writings. So instead of using the indefinite/singular they, RMS would just say she/her. I thought it was an interesting way to hack language to break assumptions we have about gender, especially in technology.
"threat group" is odd phrasing, is it really the same actual group?
> Genetic claims play a role in that you can see in which direction certain genes flowed, and how old they are, and how they’re distributed.

I am not very familiar with Genetic theories to be honest and only work I have read on this topic is from Manu Joseph's not very scientific summary of research on this topic but it is barely conclusive in any direction.

> There’s plenty of non-white scientists

That is besides the point, they will let in those who tow their lines and keep out those who disagree claiming them to be either "they haven't published anything in journals reviewed by us". Afterall british controlled India not through white soldiers but brown soliders handpicked from Indians.

It basically is a citation cartel to begin with very little concern for actual research or truth. Also this is not specific to Indology either. In this day and age it matters very little though as better quality research by such as likes of Talegari or Elst or Danino et al. stands on its own even after decades.

The "don't negotiate with terrorists" is itself a negotiation tactic meant to lower the attack surface of any entity.

These points had been true at some point though... Also, brave is constantly astroturfing, so you should always take whatever you read online with a grain of salt.

I used brave's android browser a long time ago as well (at that time these claims were true - but they didn't replace the ads on all pages). I cannot speak about whats the current situation however, as I'm not up to date on the topic.

Literally every government says this publicly, and then negotiates privately.
If the ISP is checking for DNS lookup of speed test websites, then allocating higher bandwidth to the connection for a brief period of time?

Or, somehow more cynically, the ISP makes money from selling the data collected from DNS, so punishes people who use a different DNS provider. (DNS is plaintext-by-default, so I don't quite see how this would work, but it's possible.)

Or perhaps the system uses DNS lookups as a proxy for “is a human browsing the web”; if there aren't enough, it's clearly some kind of automated computer program that doesn't deserve internet access.
The responsibility lies at the nation-state level, and the clear decision is for Governments to ban the formal exchange of cryptocurrencies.

That seems like a just-so story to me. It's not like all the smaller fusion research programs stopped existing, the US for example still had the NIF running in parallel, with substantial funding. It's just that it appears that a very large scale project is needed to get above unity fusion with the tocamac approach.

I doubt anyone has been fined the full value just from killing one wasp from some random fine. It is regularly enforced against people who try to burn down or otherwise remove nests on their property (without engaging a professional to try to remove it safely for both parties).

I would say mainly it's not enforced because b) has been effective - Germans (or Berliners at least) don't kill wasps! If doing so became common, it would probably be enforced more consistently.

The way it "used to work" was that Brave gave users BAT for using the Browser and Brave Payments (now Brave Rewards). The user could then visit a site/channel, and Brave would communicate if the property was verified or not (e.g. a verified property had a check-mark, and an unverified property did not). If you tipped a verified property, the BAT (as gift from Brave) would go to the creator's associated wallet. If the property was not verified, the BAT would go into a settlement wallet, awaiting the creator's registration. Again, this was Brave's BAT effectively being earmarked for a creator who had not yet verified. The feedback at the time from the community was that the UI/UX was confusing; indeed it was. We quickly modified the model, and today it is substantially better as a result. Unverified properties are now as explicitly identified as verified ones, and tips to the former are held on-device for up to 90 days.
There was a story awhile ago that TikTok's curation selected for relatively wealthy people, and I mean 'wealthy' the scale of rich countries. For example, they didn't want something shot in a home that looked impoverished, presumably because it wasn't the experience they wanted for their audience.

I don't use TikTok, but a few times I've seen compilations of TikTok on YouTube, and the above description certainly matched what I saw. Also, the compilations show people who are overwhelmingly white. Is what I saw representative? Are they representative in the US, and maybe people in other places see something different? (Edit: And I see the appeal of TikTok, nice dopamine hits without any cost.)

Those policies, if they exist, seem unhealthy for kids and for society: Lots of kids in the world have cell phones, but nly a small portion of the world would qualify for success on TikTok, and they are qualified by their money (and possibly ethnicity). It says to the vast majority who are poorer that you aren't part of society and no matter how good your video is, you can't qualify. It also would hide from the rich kids the vast reality of life, and that there is nothing threatening about poverty and poor people, and people who don't look like you.

At what point does it become easier to formally verify the software than the hardware? Certainly it's easier to change the software than the hardware, so there is already incentive to not move things into hardware that need not be there.
Please stop making these insulting comments calling me apologist, this is rude and unhelpful; you're a better person than this. I've respected your kernel expertise for a long time and it's disappointing to be treated this way. This is the kind of behavior that pushes people away from open source. I'm only here to help explain how this works and to help get the issue fixed, I would do the same if you were making such statements about KDE.

>We don't do that in the kernel, unless we are sure there are no users. And if we are wrong, and people complain, we'll put the feature or architecture support back.

GNOME unfortunately does not have enough maintainers to do this. If you'd like to help out, please contribute, or help direct some others to do so. That might mean helping to maintain some extensions that you're using. If you don't want to help, and you want to use KDE, that's understandable too -- but please understand what the real issue is.

>Device drivers should live in the kernel. Period.

It would be great if it was technically possible to do this with GNOME, if this is your goal, I would encourage you attempt to merge all the hundreds of extensions together into one big tree, resolve all the conflicts, and then maintain that. It's probably going to be a lot of work, and will break a huge number of things, and if you don't want to do it... well now you understand why GNOME maintainers don't either. Until that happens, people have to stick to another approach: extension maintainers just have to use CI to check their extensions against master and keep it updated.

Correct. Tips and contributions to unverified properties remain [on the user's device] for up to 90 days. The browser will make routine attempts to send the tip through; if it fails to do so after 90 days those rewards are unlocked and can be given to another creator.

In my experience wiktionary is a pretty great+reliable source for word etymology. I've corrected a few things, but generally it gets it right faar more often than wrong, is good about citing sources, and it has an active + helpful community. It is pretty reliable in my experience for English/German/Latin/Chinese (in order of quantity of experience).

Growing up in my dictionaries etymology always stopped at Greek/Latin/Old English, which is a shame in some ways. Having easy access to wiktionary to plumb the depths further back to older reconstructed languages is a treat :)

Also many etymological resources are open/free - http://pielexicon.hum.helsinki.fi/ for instance.
