> After that, it would be UB to peek at the bytes of the object via the array because of aliasing issues

Do you have a source for this? IIRC char and std::byte have a specific aliasing exception. I.e. char* and std::byte are allowed to alias anything.

You obviously aren't allowed to modify the char or std::byte array (because that would violate the struct/class's aliasing rule).
Depends what you can spend it on. DNA tests, like 23andme will help figure out what problems you might be having in the future, but you can also figure that out from having a detailed history of your relatives and then focus on those problems. A detailed full body physical, blood work, would be useful too.

I tried both (along with a few others I don't remember the names of) and preferred Primephonic a bit, but I guess I'm an Idagio customer now.

For Android, I'm using fennec with ublock origin and it's great. Also YouTube Vanced is very useful. And Infinity for a tolerable reddit experience on mobile.
Seriously, this.

There may be an argument that Chrome is marginally faster than Firefox on desktop, and while this may also technically be true on mobile, it's completely dwarfed by the fact that Chrome is being asked render 5x as much crap (with animations and sound and video and nagbars and ...) compared to Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin.

I think many civilizations independently invented it.

The innovation that law is written down by lawmakers is not that hard to duplicate. If anything, the opposite happened and high frequency of common law in the world is purely because the British Empire was the largest empire to have ever existed and all states that utilize common law descend from the British Empire.

Until the British Empire, common law existed only on the British Isles and the rest of the world had civil law.

Nice, my instinct reading the above was: The (future) target of this could be WASM instead of JS.

It's a very promising technology IMO. Not necessarily because it is faster (which is only 0.3x-2x according to my findings) but because it is a nice, simple compilation target.
Android offers Private DNS, just point that at nextdns.io and block things even within apps that aren't browsers.

The biggest benefit is definitely the sheer speed at which news websites load on my phone now, even when I'm on a crap connection.

Another benefit: This isn't a VPN, so you can still use a VPN whilst using Private DNS.

Edit: Also... lol, I can't access TFA as plausible.io is also blocked on my network and phone. I'm going to assume that the article is actually an analytics competitor whose pitch is "GA is blocked, use us instead!".

Edit 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=plausible.io Yes, assumption was correct.

Edit 3: NextDNS stats from my home network: 11.45% of DNS requests blocked, but from my phone 23.7% of DNS requests blocked. You need this more on your mobile than in a web browser!
I surf in private mode. A super simple solution for all your tracking protection needs people. It boggles my mind how this comes up again and again yet we have private browsing since when? The 90s? Don’t be lazy - that’s the real reason, isn’t it? Having to login again..

I don't know when it started, but it seems to be a recent trend to add dependencies for anything and to package everything on demand. It's probably for security or something. But I do miss the days when people would link a static binary that "just works" even without internet and that'll keep working a week later, because it includes all of its dependencies as opposed to downloading and updating 500 packages on-demand.
There is a German movie about the system that is used to gather TV ratings. It's a special box that some users get which reports what they are watching. Small sample size goes into a big statistic (not sure how accurate the portrayal of the system in the movie is). These boxes are given to the people who pay the German public TV fee, which excludes i.e. students (they don't have to pay) and some other groups. This group of critical people figured that out and started to hack into these machines to fake ratings. They faked the ratings away from stupid trash TV towards some higher quality stuff, documentaries, culture, ...
Obviously in the movie then the country saw a renaissance, everyone got smarter, yadda yadda, you get it.

I feel like this is similar.
All tech savvy people block ads and analytics and at least the known tricks they use against us. So the internet only tracks the defenseless people and is then built to serve them (and or exploit them).

Maybe we should engage in large scale AdWords fraud. Send come fake traffic away from Facebook and over to Wikipedia.

lol ... yes simulations and models are completely useless (wake up: ALL models are wrong, but some are useful).
If you cannot come up with a better explanation why masks should not work, you are just somebody who's not accepting the current scientific consensus.

So where's your experiment showing the contrary? (With real humans and covid particles?) Where is your evidence?

So we have simulations, evidence that it controls community spread, etc. Every expert that I hear speak out says that masks work. Can you find any virologist working in a lab on COVID who claims masks don't work?

I think you're misinterpreting the meaning of the wave equation. Batteries self-discharge due to chemical reactions not quantum tunneling.
I think all that fundamentally rests on the foundation of the raw military capacity of that "international community". Which, like most low-level implementation details, is something we only notice when it breaks.
Author here, let me nuance a little bit what I mean with "cross-platform world".

It's 2021 and there are 3 major desktop and 2 major mobile platforms, plus some smaller ones on each side. And then there is the Web, which is both mobile and desktop focused.

If you're going to write a new library that you want to use on all of these platforms, you need a programming language that works on all of these. For iOS Java is a non starter because as far as I know there is no proper JVM that can be used in App Store apps. C can target all these platforms (including the web using WebAssembly) but it is a major pain to setup the tooling for every platform, especially if your library needs complex dependencies for things like SSL.

I am not a Rust zealot that advocates rewriting everything in Rust. I only mentioned Rust once in the whole article so your "obviously" comment doesn't really hold. The reason I mentioned Rust as a language for my project is because it is one of the modern languages that have cross-platform building and dependency management builtin from the start. It is a lot less work to write an SSL-enabled library in Rust that can be used on all these platforms than it is to write one in C.

No, we really did not have private browsing since the nineties. It's a new thing, for sure.

What we had in the nineties was that we could configure our browsers to ask for every single cookie that a site wanted to place on our computers. That got old really fast when internet advertising became a thing, and tracking cookies were all over the place.
It works well with reasonable people, but it has some flaws:

- unreasonable people will not doubt themself, but reasonable people will. So this discussion has a tendency to turn in favor of the unreasonable.

- unreasonable persons will make you pay for not being on their side. Coming to them gives them a heads up for doing that.

- you usually have less problems with reasonable people, so if you do have a problem, there is more chance the opposite party is not reasonable, and hence risking point 1 or 2.

So I'd say, "test if the opposite side is reasonable with a smaller grievance first".
This article clearly suggests that you should use their own solution, Plausible Analytics.

They are also JavaScript based, so how long before ad-blockers start blocking them too?

While it unfortunately didn't work in the consumer market, there's a space for video recognition in the business space:

- Scene finding for directors/news channels. AP and other sources have a lot of material but you pretty much literally have to watch the entire video in order to find a good scene.

- Scene finding for the XXX crowd. Very underserved market.

- Scene finding for police/lawyers. While it may seem like the opposite of 'privacy preserving', defense attorneys are literally just swamped with video evidence in an attempt to make them give up. Similarly if you're suing a big company for something as simple as an on the job injury or harassment, and need to prove there's a pattern of harm... they'll give you everything and let you do the work of finding out that there was a pattern of bad behavior.

It's the kind of thing that'd be useful as an open source solution... or failing that having a company which is 100% neutral in operation is also good.

I'm currently using Microsoft for something like this because they're absolution massive and apart from their OpenAI division, they only care that what you process is legal.

As a developer of an ad blocker[1] our stats would seem to back up what Plausible has found:

- Despite having equivalent desktop (macOS) and mobile (iOS) apps, most of our users (> 75%) use the app primarily on desktop

- Most users say the key reason for use is for privacy protection; even with Safari providing some inbuilt privacy tracking protection

- Our app is focused on providing a simple 'set and forget' ad blocking approach; so you would think the key audience would be less tech savvy users. However a large proportion of users are tech-inclined and knowledgeable users.

- A lot of tech heavy websites are some of the worst offenders in terms of tracker usage and advertising. For example, The Verge can load 3.5x faster simply by using an ad blocker that blocks the on-page trackers and ads[2]

Worth noting that if you're already willing to setup a first-party proxy like Plausible does in this comparison, you can do the same thing with Google Analytics using either the NYPL project [1] or send whatever you want to the Google Measurement Protocol API [2]. You can usually send whatever you want through a first-party proxy in basically any competent analytics product. Analytics is not ads.

I find it this comparison a little misleading because Plausible admits that their own script/endpoint are blocked by adblockers, just to a lesser extent than Google Analytics [3].
