Sorry, it's like a way you can write browser extensions, but not have to worry about the limitations of the various browser vendors or their distribution channels, while delivering the "extended browser" by embedding it as a plug-in a web app. In essence, it's just a browser-as-API that you can embed and run inside a regular web app. This is possible because your web app only hosts the client-side interface which connects to a back-end of a headless browser running in the cloud or your server somewhere.

The no-frills, "just the browser" product, is normally called "remote browser isolation"[0] (or, RBI), but ViewFinder lets you build custom browsing extensions on top of this. So you can embed such a remote browser in your web app to encapsulate some off-site 3rd-party functionality that you nevertheless want to include in whatever process is part of that user story or task, for example, submitting a document that you just generated with the embedding web app, useful in the case where the 3rd-party provides no API to do so, making it more fluent than giving someone a list of instructions to then go off-site to follow, or doing it yourself "manually".

You can also use this interface to plug in to some existing headless browser, such as one running an automation job you have set up with puppeteer for observability and intervention if this bot gets stuck--for example, on a CAPTCHA.

One of the browsing extensions I built atop the basic RBI is "co-browsing" so you can have multiple people connect to the same cloud-based browser, from anywhere around the world, and view and interact with it simultaneously. Maybe two friends can watch a podcast at the same time and chat with the built-in chat? But mostly people are interested in this kind of thing for delivering live, real-time customer support to people who are using their app, while they interact with the client over the chat or a telephone. Ditto for training.

From a more meta level, it's a way to craft any programmable experience atop a browser, with somewhat more power that browser extensions (tho offset by the fact that my API is not well documented and can be improved for this purpose).

> I cannot help but think that the cruel punshment did indeed work.

I struggle to understand how you reach that conclusion. Occams Razor would suggest that one only need to assume that a thirteen year old might only need to grow p for this outcome to be plausible.

> If he was given a shorter sentence without solitary, he would probably make friends with other prisoners and continue shooting people after he got out od the prison.

Or, hear me out here, if you put the prisoners in a situation where they are able to learn behaviours that reinforce social norms rather than jamming them together likes rats in a cage guarded by sadistic lab technicians, then you probably would have lower recidivism rates. This is what the data says, when comparing the conservative penal systems in the West (with rates of 50%+ after 2 years) with progressive states (with rates around 20-25% after 2 years).

It turns out not treating people like monsters means you have fewer monsters.
That would be a very special difference if apes really were in their own class of aggressiveness.
DOM operations are always synchronous. When modifying DOM, there is often a full layout+paint cycle before the next line is run.

Much like in TikTok.
> But proving the efficacy of those plexiglass panels and face shields is very easy.

There's no value in that information because almost no place where it's installed have no way to cost-effectively implement proper ventilation.

It's funny how Bloomberg wonders about plexiglas but not about face masks and lockdowns. Plexiglass is one of least problematic measures (not that it shouldn't be optional for private establishments).
Could you elaborate on this for someone with no prior knowledge of what you're referring to?
I do apologize. People, including me, don’t go spend their lives talking to computers because they are great at talking to people. I’m bad at reading social context, probably on the autism spectrum and many of my colleagues over the last 30 years have been like me. There’s a high chance I’ve expressed what’s called a microagression in the post without intending to so. I can’t tell. I often can’t even tell I offended someone completely unintentionally. I’m a difficult person to be around, there many others like me. And I can’t get better although I have learned to keep myself away from people and be very careful about any interaction, I’m not remotely “normal”.

So maybe it just helps talking to people? There appear to be many jerks around, sure. But I’m willing to bet many of these microagressions are simply a result of social ineptitude. If someone told me I stepped on their toes (some have), I can be more careful around them and assure them of no bad intentions.
> The problem I have with YT is the paralysis of choice

This is it. I haven't subscribed to a new YT channel years.

There's always a million+ subscriber channel with good stuff to watch - that I don't have time for.
Can you list the movies that didn't get a simultaneous digital release during the last year or so?

Tenet, and...?

I have a bunch of pre-paid movie tickets still from the pre-pandemic days. Haven't used a single one, since all the movies I wanted to watch I can see at home for around 25€.
Exactly my point - I happen to disagree. We're not going to have AI come and tell us the Truth, at least not from day one. They'll help, but not with _this_ kind of questions. This is why I commented, because they seem specifically chosen to be some of the most complicated questions we face.

(On topic: blacks could commit more crime then average. They could do it because of systemic racism, but in this case the _arrests_ are not racist.)
There are a ton of cooking, fitness and home improvement channels that are quite educational actually.
Most countries have a secret ballot. In the UK all ballots are linked to the voter with an intermediate table effectively, which is then destroyed after a certain time.

More generally, for ballots you don't need to hide this, you could just have a number on them.
Take a look at newspeak (smalltalk-ish, it avoids global references enforcing each component to receive dependencies as arguments, i.e. it has DI builtin) and NesC (C with components, which are composed at build time).

Neither is popular but they're pretty interesting!
But yet I still enjoyed the read none the less.

Totally agree though lack of substance.
> Unfortunately fixed price contracts don't work for new cutting edge defense systems.

New defense systems don't actually have to be cutting edge. The cutting edge stuff is more properly deployed as upgrades to existing systems (this tightens the feedback loop that produces learning). By the time the tech is influencing newly designed systems, it shouldn't be cutting edge anymore.

Anyone complaining about how this slows the adoption and deployment of new technology should take a close look at what made the F-16 and F-18 successful platforms for so long. Not only were they regularly upgraded, but in many ways their upgradability was upgraded over time, and new planes coming off the assembly line were far from being frozen in time, but rather reflected an evolution of those platforms.
Absolutely agree! Thanks for those links.
What exactly does "audit" mean to you?

Ballots typically do have unique IDs usually on some part that is removed by the voter. The problem is that isn't linked to anything because we don't want it linked to anything. This form of auditing isn't compatible with ballot secrecy. US elections do undergo rigorous process audits but the electorial process presents challenges to results audits.
You mean on TikTok?

Not sure if I agree totally...

I will say it's a "convenient" for those who don't want to meaningfully educate themselves on subjects through text.
> yes: deficient in quantity or number compared with the demand

If you want to go with that definition, then bitcoin isn't scarce by definition. Something can have a fixed supply and be abundant compared with the demand.
> Who cares "what I said before".

Because it's really hard to talk about whether a product is fraudulent or not if the list of problems keeps changing.

> Claiming "we have a truck that can do all this" and can't is not that far away from claiming "we have a working truck" when you don't.

To an extent, yes. With the huge caveat that production cost is not something a truck 'does'.

> So you don't even know, you're guessing.

I'm going by the best news articles I could find on short notice. If you have better, link it. I don't think it's reasonable to demand I go do physical tours before I can talk about the subject.

"In California, the nation’s leading solar market, there were twelve Tesla roof systems connected to the grid as of May 31"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFWKVraGI1E

"Tesla Solar Roof - 100 Days After Installation"

> They literally installed fake roofs that didn't function on a Hollywood neighbourhood set piece, then bought the company who claimed to be able to make these (a related party) within days. Is that much different than rolling a truck down a hill to raise money?

So with this I was able to find some info. It's true, there was a fake demo of a particular kind of tile.

But the product does exist now. Your claim that it still doesn't exist is just wrong.

It's also important to note that they had different-looking tiles that already worked, and by the time they took preorders it looks like things were working.

So that's bad, but it's not on the same level as nikola.

> Not sure about you, but slapping an inferior product together, years later at a higher price, that isn't what you demonstrated when you took the money, is fraudulent

If you charge more than you promised, yes. That's different from being unable to meet the originally planned production cost on something. If you let people cancel orders, which tesla appears to be doing, it's not fraud.

> the battery swap (earned millions in subsidies from California), which also was not a feasible technology with a faked demonstration

Wow, that's pretty bad! Thanks for the info, I'll bring it up to people in the future.

Still not on par with a fake product though.

> Boy, you were pretty quiet when people were accusing me of trolling and being a shortseller above, eh. Why is that?

I don't respond to every comment that is rude to a third party. Almost none of them, really.

> Interesting how your preconceived biases can lead you to conclusions that are in fact the opposite of reality. Fancy that.

You're making wild assumptions about what I believe and getting them wrong. Fancy that.

And you do/did come off a bit like a troll in some of your comments.
I don't agree with that. If someone says "The AI is biased" we can just look at the data it was trained on or come up with a set of test cases to establish the bias. We can update the training data or method to remove the bias too.

If someone says a person is biased they can just say "No I'm not" and then how do we tell? We can't really make a person do a million judgments and find statistical evidence. We can't dive into how the possibly biased person came to have or not have biases.
It would be nice if they used IPA instead of yet another informal nonstandard system.
I just recently set up one of those printers. They have a lot of dark patterns trying to steer you towards the app (and the "instant ink" junk), but it was still possible to skip over that and do all the setup on the printer itself, at which point it became a normal discoverable network printer.
The main vaccine “innovation” was that the FDA decided to finally approve an mRNA therapy. Moderna’s been trying to get such things approved for about a decade.

So, the “breakthrough” was a brief suspension of questionable bureaucratic barriers. (Temporary suspension of “Dissipation” from the article.)

This is weird. Each item described feels not like something useful or original, but part of a workaround for this specific engine used.
I use one of the free wireframe toolkits (https://speckyboy.com/free-wireframe-templates-mobile-app-we...) with Powerpoint or Keynote.

You can make them interactive by assigning an action to a button and making it go to another slide. Not as good as Figma, Wireflow or Origami, but gets me 90% of the way there.
Lets try a different one then. 400,000 needs 2800 unit of time. If it's quadratic 600,000 would need 2800 * 1.5^2 = 6300. On the plot 600,000 takes about ~6300 unit of time.

I think the line is drawn incorrectly. You can always fit a straight line into a curve if you zoom in enough which is what I think is happening here.

I have not tried it myself but I strongly suspect that if you try to fit a linear and quadratic regression line in that part of dataset - the quadratic line would have better fit(coefficient of determination) compared to linear regression line.
are there any open source one?
Well, if $3 billion is all it costs to send someone to the moon why doesn't he do it himself instead of asking NASA to buy his services? Probably NASA probably has some other hardware, know-how, and people that Blue Origins doesn't. But how much would that cost? Another 10 billion? 30 billion? Bezos has plenty to spare for that too.
Ok. And in what wild world of ethics does this even hint at being justified?

Torture is not punishment. Torture is torture.
I think you’re reading too much into “life expectancy at birth”. Life expectancy at age 20 hasn’t moved nearly as much. The big wins were reductions in deaths during childhood.

Not to sound harsh, but the main economic benefit is that now people need to have fewer children to maintain a stable population.
My favorite part is when the poster jumped on your case for defending him from me, a person you agree with. This is too much.
I think that's how you get to the top of an organization (besides creating it like a founder). You have to be a pretty cold individual, and it's not about making games or Coca Cola. It's about consolidating your power as you rise to the top of a large corporation and build people who are loyal to you. These guys have no vision about what a new game should be like. They want to get bigger, they WANT to make bigger deals and bigger markets. That's why they want to open up into China at all costs.
> 3. huge emphasis on TV series in the last decade, again sucking up all the talent

Some stories are just better when they are told in a serial format with more room to breathe. Even if they need to take a budget cut.

A recent example being Tomorrow War[0]. It had WAY too much shit happening for the 2h 18min runtime. The same content as a, say, 4 hour miniseries? That would've been fucking amazing.

Same budget, same plot, just add more character development (talky bits), a bit slower pacing. Perfect.

> Overwatch - imbalanced. Overwatch 2 with weird changes

As a counterpoint, IMO OW is in the most balanced place it ever has been now. A lot of it has to do with the making of OW2, which has meant no new heroes, but still I do think the OW team has done excellent work with competitive balance recently. This is reflected in the most diverse hero selections ever in Overwatch League (pretty much making hero bans there obsolete).

OW2 PvE and PvP 5v5 from what we know to me seem both to be good plans and can make the game huge again – or not. Depends on the execution.
Well that content benefits a lot by video. As for not being as good as books ok whatever. No need to gatekeep education.
Italodisco is super underrated- it has a lot of the upbeat analog electronic dance music that many of the *waves try to recreate; and did it 40ish years ago. Always felt it was more poppy and fun than the Eurobeat songs that came afterwards like those featured in the anime series Initial D.
With mailed out ballots, if each paper ballot had a unique id. You could audit:

1. That each paper ballot was only counted once by the tabulating machine.

2. No extra ballots were returned with an id that was not generated.

3. Easily spot copied ballots.

You could probably audit more things. If for example the id corresponded to a county, and so on.
The upside is that it doesn't get a consultant calling a functions unaware of its restrict specification and triggering UB, much worse than losing those 5% or 30% improvements.
They have a really nice one in the Berkeley Botoanical garden. It's a very mysterious plant. You can sometimes buy seed too but as you might imagine they will take a long time to grow.
Apple is most certainly a for-profit company yet they are going strong.

Profit is what keeps the company going. No company lasts long without some focus on profit.
> There's another way to frame that argument. The spike in window repairs and glass demand will incentivize glass factories to invest in technological advancements to make cheaper and better glass.

This is so, but that cheaper and better glass is unlikely to be tougher and less prone to breaking.
> now that we have streaming its not bound to time limits or irrelevant commercial pacing

The Mandalorian is a perfect example of this. The episodes varied from 25 minutes(!) to 47 minutes. Just take the time the plot needs, no more.
Blizzard writing and storytelling has always been crap. I think expectations were just lower back then.
> To my understanding there is no data sent from my Brave client to any Brave servers.

That would be wrong. By Brave's own confession, there are 70 requests it sends "home" on startup [1]. Regardless of request payload, each of them contains your PII (IP address at the very least). There is plenty of opportunity for your data to be stored and used (not saying that it is).

If and how is that data actually used, we do not know, because this part is closed-source. When companies that are running advertising-based business models like Brave and Google are in question, this is the most important part users should be concerned with. Only way to settle this would be if the browser actually sent no requests anywhere, like you initially believed to be true. Indeed, a web browser has no business making requests anywhere without my explicit approval!

> It’s possible to know that by looking at the code for Chrome. Brave doesn’t do this and it’s possible to know that by looking at the code for Brave.

Do not want to be harsh but I assume you didn't actually look into the Brave's source code. You could have, but in reality very few actually do. Open-source "tag" on software can give this false sense of security because you rely on someone else to do the hard work and actually look through millions of lines of code.

The only way to actually trust a browser from a privacy standpoint is to check if it is indeed not transmitting any data. Instead of relying on source code, a much easier and foolproof way to check this is to use a network proxy, many are commonly available for all platforms. Then you can believe your own eyes vs marketing.

Disclaimer: I am in the business of creating a privacy respecting, zero-telemetry, browser. This topic is near and dear to my heart. More on this here [2] and here [3]

Then you might be in an (possible, but unlikely) edge case scenario and should applaude the complexity of reality surrounding us.

The truth is, you can never be sure if your opinion is minority or majority within any online forum just by looking at up/downvotes of one post in isulation.
Just like any lottery. The more tickets you buy the higher the probability of winning a lottery. In the bitcoin lottery the tickets are cpu power.
There is no inbuild async nature. It just did not have a stdlib whatsoever, so node could come along and offer a completely async one. There were async server frameworks in python before, like twisted and tornado.

For a long, long time, the language itself lacked almost all of the niceties that make async programming bearable. Node code quickly devolved into a giant mess of callbacks nested twenty levels deep.
from the article it says "Today, 6 media giants control a whopping 90% of what we read, watch, or listen to.". there is a heavy handed content moderation policy on all major social media platforms. it is a rare day when I don't see or hear of blocked suspended or banned content on social media.

No that's not how it works in the real world. You're never going to get something like a 5th generation fighter by making incremental improvements to 4th generation systems. At some point you run out of headroom and have to start over from scratch in order to maintain a qualitative advantage over potential adversaries. This is high risk and doesn't always work but there is no alternative.
Maybe you read "designed in Japan" on the box, similar to how Apple likes to print their neat "designed in Cupertino" line on the package.

I read somewhere that 40% of all (consumer) electronic devices worldwide go through Foxconn. Pretty much everyone uses them. Don't see a proud "made in USA" or something like that on the website? Foxconn, most likely.
Yup, Python async functions need to be explicitly awaited / scheduled pretty much exactly the same way as JS... article might be confusing this with the fact that most of the stdlib is just plain synchronous, even for web requests etc.
That statistic sounds totally wrong and after looking at your source it is highly misleading. It’s just if the parents were married at birth.

Of the people I know with kids like 50% of them were not married when they started having kids. They either got married latter or never married because there was no advantage to do so and they didn’t care.

Yet none of them are what you would call “single mothers”. They are all still together with the fathers of their children.

So basically it says more about marriage than it does about parenting.
