I think a pretty good benchmark for "appropriate" is behavior that promotes reasonable discourse instead of reactionary backtracking which. That discourse in Lieu's case did not occur when he was accused of supporting genocide.

But to answer your more general question of who gets to decide "appropriate", that is society as a whole. We, as a society and as a civilization, decide what we find acceptable and objectionable. Right now we have drifted into a territory where a one or two sentence soundbite is considered appropriate to encapsulate complex issues that defy easy solutions despite the soundbite pundits, politicians, and activists that spout them as axiomatic truths, shutting down the ability to have a conversation with anyone who slightly disagrees.

Do you have more insight on this, on how it could be handled better? Or are you happy with the status quo where little conversation but much shouting is the norm?
"Targeting" means something entirely different to Brave than it does to Google. Google engages in targeted advertising by collecting your data wherever possible. Brave doesn't do anything remotely like that. Instead, in Brave, the entire Ads component is optional and off by default. If/when you opt-in, your data never leaves your device. Instead, Brave uses on-device machine-learning to determine what types of ads you might be interested in. This machine-learning evaluates a regional catalog which is routinely downloaded to your machine—the entire process happens locally, rather than in the cloud. And, if an ad is shown to you, you get 70% of the associated revenue. I covered this a bit more in a recent 5-minute talk: https://youtu.be/LsrrT502luI
Because CPUs don’t have performance immutably specified in their specifications. You’ve decided that x transistors should yield y performance and so when you get y’ performance you get upset. But you were promised x transistors and you have x transistors.

No one gave you a guarantee that “there will never be any security issues with this product and if there are, mitigations will cause no performance degradation”.

If you want that promise you’re gonna have to pay for it, man. And it’s not gonna be a flat fee. That’s an insurance model.
They're correct. The blockchain just records that the funds were sent to your address. To spend the funds you have to show the public key which hashes to that address, in another transaction signed by the private key.

If the sender wanted to send you a private message, they would need your public key, but that's not what transactions do.
By definition I go on vacation to get a break from my coworkers and spend time with friends and family.

I also generally get to decide the activities on vacation. Many things the company might fund that are fun for some people, like skiing, aren't activities that I'm interested in but would be obligated to participate in.

What you described is a work retreat, not a vacation. I have been on such a trip. It was good for work relationships. It definitely wasn't a vacation.

This is technically true, but the phrasing is potentially misleading. There are some other languages where every statement is an expression, but most make a firm distinction. Including 2/3 of the languages that the article proposes as alternatives to Python.

I don't really have enough information on the specific's of OP's job and what they're doing with their spare time. Reading tech books sounds like learning to me, but otherwise I don't know.

I think that it's really difficult for a lot of people to see the value they're providing outside of the proper business tasks they're assigned, and once there are tasks assigned to fill up all the time, everything breaks down. It doesn't matter if your task is something as irrelevant as "provide documentation regarding this vendor relationship," once it's on the board it can't be dropped and so you're no longer available to try the new tool people are looking for feedback on, or whatever.

The other thing doesn't even have to be high-priority, but if you're at a large enough organization, there are lots of things you'll realize can't be done well because too many people need to be involved, even if it's just a little bit of time. My org can't make any movement on, for example, API clients or API documentation because there are lots of different needs, but by the time you've gotten through the initial conversations it's a six months later, because people weren't available. There are many efforts we can't get done because that effort isn't priority for the team's involved, but requires time from people on those teams.

Ideally, of course, we try to minimize those things. But I've yet to hear of a sizeable org that has none of those kinds of things.

I can grab a cheap vps within minutes from DigitalOcean or OVH, with a public IP included. Both offer images with pre-configured software, and there are ample guides for setting up just about anything. Certbot/Let's Encrypt will literally setup add the generated TLS cert to your nginx config if you ask it to.

Being data nerds as well, we were scratching our own itch with Then.

We tried to add a few things to make it a part of our routine, like push notifications and homescreen widget.

But what worked the best for me personally was seeing the value (i.e insights on my activities): after that it got easier to remember to track.

One other thing was focusing only on things that mattered. At first I was trying to track every single activity every day, but then realized that things like showering didn’t really give much insight. So now I primarily focus on activities that are energy draining or which I want to be conscious about (focused work, meetings, side projects, walking, sport etc.)

I experimented with copy-move many years ago[1] after being inspired by a John Graham-Cumming blog post[2]. I got a job at Google specifically with the idea that it would be the right place to experiment with internet-wide detection of falsified journalistic images, since it had the infrastructure and access to users that could support such an attempt. My actual job was YouTube ad infrastructure (gag), but I did have the chance to lead a team of 4 other engineers in a week-long hackathon where we created a version of Chrome that could automatically detect certain image alterations. It worked really well! We won an award, and the other engineers all wanted to continue working on the idea as their 20% time project. I imagined changing Google News or image search to offer up a small warning when images might have been modified to be intentionally misleading.

Unfortunately I was terrible at increasing YouTube ad revenue, so my time at Google ended before I could try to implement the ideas on a larger scale.

P.S. I've never seen Error Level Analysis give a useful result, ever. Maybe it can, but every time I've seen it used it gives completely ambiguous results that are spun however the person interpreting them wants.

> Finland also beat the crap out of Russia in WW2.

Finland did very well in the Winter War, but it did not "beat the crap out of Russia" because that would be assuming that they have won. Instead they have lost, but Russia has achieved what's called a Pyrrhic victory and Finland has received favourable terms.

> Russia's strategy in Eastern Europe and more recently in Crimea was not to fight, but send in little green men with rifles and organise elections. That's how the USSR has installed regimes of their choice in its vassal states which later formed the Warsaw Pact.

Are you then claiming that Eastern Ukraine is not dominantly ethnic Russians?

> NATO and thd US has a new bogeyman called China now. Russua has its own version of NATO called the CSTO and is part of the SCO or Shanghai Pact along with China and their satellite states.

No, China is not the bogeyman because China doesn't go for hard-power like USSR did or in fact the USA does. Instead they go for soft-power by investing into countries and getting influence through financial means - look at Australia, Greece, and now increasingly the USA itself. Note how the USA didn't even squeak about the Wuhan lab leak theory until recently - would it be the same if a virus has appeared near a virology lab in Vladivostok?

The state caused the harm to landlords. So it can be argued the state is responsible for the problem.

All the while blaming you as the problem.

> I just want to browse the web

Do you run an ad blocker? If so you mean you want to browse the web ad-free, as many people do. The crypto stuff you don't understand is the killer feature for Brave.

Instead of seeing ads everywhere, you can automatically contribute a small (configurable) amount to sites you spend time on, based on how much time you spend there. Come across an interesting or helpful article on someone's blog? Just click the button on your toolbar and give the owner a tip. Same thing to support a GitHub project you find particularly useful.
DDG is a great search engine, and we are very thankful for the movements they've brought about in the private search space. That said, Brave is developing its own, distinct index. A recent example of what this means is from the "Tank Man" results on Bing recently. When Bing returned no results, DDG also returned no results. Brave Search, on the other hand, continued serving up results. As was stated elsewhere, "we aren't beholden to anybody."

> One potential way to do legislate this is to require that plaintiffs place funds in escrow pending the outcome of the case, to pay for the other sides fees if they lose. Occasionally courts will already order this under current law. I'm not going to generally advocate for that as a good idea though, I think it probably has a lot of side effects and I haven't put enough thought into it to be sure it is a good idea.

That's an interesting direction, but how does the collateral compare to the average lawsuit's costs? What happens if the suit drags on, exceeding the collateral, do the parties just agree to disagree and drop it?

I could also be a small company, on the defending side, which is the frequent case in patent trolling scenarios. I shouldn't be barred from defending myself in court if I don't have the ability to post the collateral up front (if I'm convinced my case is strong, at least).

On the flip side, a small IP owner should still be able to sue a giant company that is violating their patents/copyrights/etc. Even if the said company has a lot of money and is liable to create huge attorney bills. But I suppose if the escrow for plaintiffs becomes more common, it's a small price to pay for the benefit of the whole ecosystem.

> You see this mechanism actually function in pharmaceuticals for instance, because patents are so valuable there are companies that pour resources into inventing new drugs that they can patent. (I have other issues with patents in this industry, I wrote about them elsewhere in this comment thread, but the reward mechanism really does motivate useful work here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27587034)

Good points on the pharma industry.

But okay, let's agree that there are pharma companies (research laboratories, etc) that don't ever do the end production themselves. Perhaps that's even a good state of affairs (of which I'm less certain).

Still, those companies are "real", and they have financing and budgets for stuff other than the patent lawsuits. They have to do the said research and put quite a lot of money in it (which is what makes those patents valuable and arguably a benefit to society as a whole), and that distinguishes them from an average patent troll.

Phytochemicals literally just means "chemicals from a plant", which include the infamous antioxidants as well as toxins, hormone disruptors, GABA agonists and other poisons in general.

Clickbait titles did not generate more curiosity than non-clickbait
Yeah, your first comment made it sound to me like the country shuts down (grocery stores, home improvement stores, furnite stores, banks, offices, government agencies, taxis, ...) ;-)

I found one Austrian source ( https://www.vol.at/wo-die-produktion-urlaub-macht/3314076 ) mentioning the issue and I can see how it would make sense for some industries to need some maintenance time each year.
A defender of a flawed tool always blames the user. (Steve Jobs's "you're holding it wrong".)
To others, "the issue" is that the rules of investment include commoditizing homes while militarizing police responses to vagrancy and loitering. IMHO, bailing out all landlords with the budget surplus makes sense for a different reason: to ensure that the next time the government needs to do something like this, given the ever escalating financial and fiscal emergency in which a majority of us find ourselves, they know that the government will figure out a make good on the other end.
Does this come down to the unit costs?

Your typical tech unicorn can at least tell a story of tens or hundreds of millions of potential customers (either paying or eyeball-monetized) with a unit cost of pennies per customers.

Boston Dynamics story is still "each robot costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars" and "almost no one has a use for one".

Honestly I'm not sure there's a story for a profitable market for humanoid robots until your robots are sophisticated enough to build themselves.

Even when we collectively manage to reduce our energy usage they'll likely divert the extra energy to another power substation for storage and redundancy.

So don't think that me and others are defeatist. It's just that the entire grid is well planned for so that any difference we can make, even as 100_000 people, is still not as big. So this whole thing will take a while, likely decades.

In the meantime I was very happy when I replaced a fridge with 43kW monthly expense with a 19kW one, about two years ago.
Since they're nearly indistinguishable from real organic search results, people click on them assuming the search engine found them the best result. This leads to two major problems:

1. Search ads are the primary source of malware and fraud on the Internet today. (Phishing emails are second.) Sites pretend to be other sites all the time, and to allow tracking and landing page behaviors, every major search ad provider allows ads to "lie" about the destination domain. So you may see an Amazon ad, it says it goes to Amazon.com, but actually directs through to realamazonlinkipromise.biz instead. Fraud's really profitable, so fraudsters win ad slots easily, and are adtech companies' best customers, so there's really little incentive to crack down on this.

2. Search ads use this placement as a form of extortion. If you run, say, Best Buy, you shouldn't have to buy search ads for "best buy", because obviously you're the best result. However, they have to, because if they don't, the search engine will sell ads to their competitors using their keyword, so people searching "best buy" get "Circuit City" as the top result instead. (Yes, I chose that reference in part because I don't want to shame any real current companies in this example for sleezy practices.) And since users click the top result (the ad), not the first organic result, Best Buy ends up paying for every click for every user who goes through Google/Bing/etc. to get to Best Buy.

The second reason is why browsers are so obsessed with combining the search and address bars: They want you to search "best buy" or "bestbuy" or etc. because that's ad revenue, whereas actually typing bestbuy.com nets Google nothing.
