It works to varying degrees of success depending on the site. Some sites become unreadable with it.

What I personally do is I have this flag enabled in my primary browser on my main computer, Brave on a MacBook Pro. And for any site that is severely broken I either skip that site, or if the site is important then I open the page in question in my secondary browser, Safari, and read it with its normal default style.
That's another dodge. His direct manager is acting on behalf of the company, and in the interest of the company. The company should have behaved better. His direct manager also isn't paying the writer's salary out of a personal bank account.

The point is that companies ought to treat their employees with empathy even when it costs them. There are reasonable limits to that, yes, but $300k for Amazon is well within that bounds in my view.

Side topic: how to create a virtual video device?

I want to process camera input, e.g. cartoonizing human, embed virtual objects, overlaying myself over presentation, etc during virtual meeting.

There are project like pyvirtualcam [1] that allows you create video frame, then write it to obs. But how does obs do it in the first place? What are the steps to do it from scratch? Can someone point me to some keywords/reference?

I just returned from Zurich[1] which involved, of course, two pair of International entry/exit.

While I was there, I availed myself of rapid antigen testing and my proof of vaccination with the canton of Zurich to attend several jazz shows and concerts (!) unmasked and with no covid restrictions.

I used QR codes throughout.

QR codes printed on paper, QR codes on a website that I pulled up in my phones browser, and once I even used a picture of a QR code in my photoreel that I pinch-zoomed into and properly scanned.[2]

It appears that there is no use for, nor appetite for, covid vaccine passport apps.

This makes me very happy because I have envisioned, through the entire pandemic, some perfect storm of pairing a smartphone to yourself, as an individual, and tying identification to it and being forced to register the phone and the app and yourself and the SIM card ... and what a mess that would end up being.

Instead, it appears we are all just going to produce QR codes in whatever way works best for us and if the scanner beeps and turns green, nobody cares what else is going on.

[2] ... and just to be clear, the photograph showed an entire printout with my name, etc., on it - so it still was a proof of identitiy. Once that was cleared up, she zoomed in on the QR code and scanned. Easy.
The problems GP listed have nothing to do with the size of JS or any other loaded resources, except for maybe adding a handful of bytes to the 2KB of CSS.

I don't understand how a company who has been paying someone 300,000/year (not a fortune for a FAANG, in the slightest) does not understand that by acting this way, they guarantee they will lose an employee when the situation is over, vs gaining loyalty from them.
There’s lots to support his claim. You can’t use Homepods without an iCloud account, you can’t get an iCloud account without an Apple ID, and you can’t get an Apple ID without providing a phone number and email address.
There is a very large amount of evidence that the CCP can and does exert its influence to "encourage" vendors to support its policies, such as the censorship of terms like "Free Tibet", "Long live Taiwan independence", and "democracy movement" on consumer-grade hardware[1].

If Xiaomi's consumer-facing devices are subject to this, that suggests that Huawei's enterprise-facing products are subject to the same.

Moreover, they're not doing something like forbidding Chinese-made devices to be sold in the US - instead, they're providing a program to reimburse telecoms for replacing Chinese-made networking hardware - and for national security reasons, which (as other commentators have correctly pointed out) does not require proof (or even accusations) of a backdoor in order to be valid - you can merely be concerned about your supply chain for critical infrastructure.

Furthermore, if the government had discovered a backdoor, there's a strong incentive for it to keep that knowledge hidden, as revealing the nature of the backdoor (or which one they found, if there are several) would give an advantage to those who placed it there.

> but there's nothing inherently immoral about advertising.

That's debatable or at least strongly depends on your definition of advertising.

moral advertisment could in my opinion only tell a person about something when they actually need that thing.

For example telling the person what kind of options are available if a person needs to travel from x to y.

Any other form eventually ends right where we are right now, with with scientists and psychologists trying to figure out how to manipulate people into doing things they wouldn't otherwise.

I suspect that even if we could we would wind up with a disturbing "reverse Turing test". The dark suggestion that there isn't any difference between us and other malfunctioning machine learning arrangements trained by huge data sets. They may be objectively homo sapiens with honest identities devoted to something which makes them act indistinguishable from a bot.

Roblox is working on a "moderation" system that can ban a user within 100ms after saying a bad word in voice. But their average user is 13 years old.

Interestingly, Second Life, the virtual world built of user-created content, does not have this problem. Second Life has real estate with strong property rights. Property owners can eject or ban people from their own property. So moderation, such as it is, is the responsibility of landowners. Operators of clubs ban people regularly, and some share ban lists. Linden Lab generally takes the position that what you and your guests do on your own land is your own business, provided that it isn't visible or audible beyond the parcel boundary. This works well in practice.

There are more and less restrictive areas. There's the "adult continent", which allows adult content in public view. But there's not that much in public view. Activity is mostly in private homes or clubs. At the other extreme, there's a giant planned unit development (60,000 houses and growing) which mostly looks like upper-middle class American suburbia. It has more rules and a HOA covenant. Users can choose to live or visit either, or both.

Because it's a big 3D world, about the size of Greater London, most problems are local. There's a certain amount of griefing, but the world is so big that the impact is limited. Spam in Second Life consists of putting up large billboards along roads.

Second Life has a governance group. It's about six people, for a system that averages 30,000 to 50,000 concurrent connected users. They deal mostly with reported incidents that fall into narrow categories. Things like someone putting a tree on their property that has a branch sticking out into a road and interferes with traffic.

There's getting to be an assumption that the Internet must be heavily censored. That is not correct. There are other approaches. It helps that Second Life is not indexed by Google and doesn't have "sharing".
I am not blaming him as I don't think he knew. He is not at fault for not knowing. Just that for those who have heard what Amazon is like, that this end result was predictable and it is unfortunate that he didn't have that.
I'm not sure how it's done at Amazon - they are, after all, notorious for driving employees hard - but my understanding is that poor performance over a year or so is usually about the point at which firing begins to be discussed at large companies.

And the problem wasn't that he didn't want to perform or was intrinsically a bad employee; the problem was that he literally couldn't due to circumstance. It's not generous to say "well, find a way to work through your wife's brain cancer and we'll keep you on."
I can confirm. See my comment upthread about recent trip to Switzerland.

I did all of these things (printed, screenshot, pulled up a webpage) and also had a successful scan of a picture of a QR code that I had in my photoreel (which showed the entire printout, of course, with my name, etc. on it).
Yeah, had a coworker die and they didn't allow anyone to attend the funeral. Like, you'd get written up if you skipped the day. No one gave a fuck, so that's good. Too many people are garbage.
My utterly uninformed views:

The "markets" where robotics could have orders of magnitude effects are what I call field to factory. The most obvious item is construction. A pre-fabricated house is cheaper and waaaay faster to build because the factory has robots and assembly lines etc to help. But even on-site construction can be assisted - that is turning the field into a temporary factory.

My sneaking suspicion is that just as we call any AI that works ML because while it does a specific job, we expect it to think like us instead of bringing what it is.

And for robotics we will have many amazing advances and social changes, but we will expect it to move like us so won't call it robotics.

This also leads to a second problem I think adoption will hit - robots will find an uncanny valley and it is easier and simpler to just build something that is in no way organic-like just to avoid human "yuck" factor. I can imagine some giant spider like contraption that washes up really well, and simply never selling because it looks like a giant freaking spider.
Loyalty is a farce, there is none. And the vast majority of FAANG employees are replaceable.
I think the hardest part is the rigour. Math and science build on concepts over time, and mastery is easier with more hands-on experience. Just presenting it to someone in a feed might be waaay too passive for absorption.

> I really don't like how Element Android has you separately pick which space to view (in the sidebar), and whether to look at DMs or rooms (in the bottom bar). Now I often end up picking the KDE space, but only showing DMs, which results in an empty view (because I've only joined KDE-related chats, not KDE-related DMs).

Yes, switching between a DM in one space and a room in another takes at least one tap too many. Hopefully this paragraph in the article expresses the intention to work on this:

I remember an old mailing list discussion on sourcehut, because sourcehut provides a build service that you can use for automation.

The decision from sircmpwn was, at the end, to charge money for the service. Charging money and KnowYourCustomer will kill most exploits dead.

In this sense, this is turning the frustration level to 11. You can use the service to a certain extent, without frustration, but if you want to get serious then you're going to have to jump through some hoops.

Dedicated people will still find a way through, but you've cut off 95% of the flow and killed the low-effort attempts. Now, you can focus on the serious shit.
> If I was a plumber, and my wife was dying, and as a result I was unable to repair plumbing, I would not expect anyone to give me money to repair their plumbing, not even if I told them my wife is dying and they should be sympathetic.

When I filed for paternity leave, I was paid quite a few weeks for not working at all, because the country where I live understands that workers are people who have lives and struggle with major life events.

It saddens me that some of us are so driven by self-contempt that don't realize they are far more than mindless organisms in a big Borg collective, ready and willing to be discarded whenever their productivity shows a drop.

That snopes article is one of the worst ones I've ever read. Snopes does some good work, but they also do some really terrible work, and this is a good example. The writer, Kim LaCapria, is clearly way out of her depth on technical topics.

Notice that the article doesn't provide one single piece of evidence of its own. Kim offers only a contorted narrative about FDA regulations and manufacturer denials, and complains about being unable to find "alternative sources". But the widespread use of lead pigments in ceramic glazes and paints is so well known, and so easily verified, that this is a bit like complaining about alternative sources for the color of the sky.

Tamara's XRF results can be easily verified by anyone with access to an XRF machine. You can take your dishes to any county health department and have them tested by XRF, and you'll see similar numbers. This is what I did with my old Lenox dishes, and the XRF revealed over 5000 ppm lead in the surface glaze. I've had dozens of pieces tested this way, including pyrex, corningware, radom kids cups, etc, and the numbers I get match Tamara's. And of course they do. It would be stupid for anyone to fabrinate this data, because it's so easy to verify.

Anyone can buy a LeadCheck swab for a buck or two and test for mobile lead at the surface. This is mostly how I test the stuff in my house, and it's how I know that my contaminated dishes were an actual poisoning hazard. If the lead comes off on a swab, then it will come off on your hands, in your food, and in your baby's mouth.

It's a similar story with cords and brass plumbing fittings. The facts of lead-based heat stabilizers used in PVC cable jackets, and the high lead content of traditional water works brass, are as incontrovertable as the sky is blue.

Kim LaCapria at Snopes doesn't seem to understand any of this. There's no indication that she even knows what XRF is, or how widely available these devices are.

As someone else pointed out, Chicago has made some changes here - and they plan to eventually remove all service lines. That said - this is Chicago.

"What did you expect from Amazon" is a fair point, but in no way excuses Amazon whatsoever. They always have the opportunity to be better.
This is the right answer. Your safety net is your responsibility, not your company’s or the government’s (like it or not, this is the reality we live in today, in the USA). Making the high income that he does, it should have been trivial to save a few years worth of emergency fund for exactly this situation. If he had made different choices he would be able to take a year off and properly take care of his family, not blame Amazon for his life choices.

Your idea becomes useless for deterrence from the "automatically deleting" point. The only benefits for having users who are "real person with an honest identity" accrue when people either can't make many accounts (so banning an user actually bans them instead of simply makes them get a new account) or when you can identify them in case of fraud or child sexual abuse material or some such.

So at the very least the "identity provider" absolutely needs to keep a list of all real identities offered to a particular service; otherwise the bad actors will just re-verify some identity as many times as needed.

But if you give up the "hard privacy" requirement, then technically it's possible. It would also mean that the identity provider would sometimes get subpoenas to reveal these identities.
I do not know what a normal business is, but this is a luxury that a business with large margins and redundancies might have. A 7 eleven franchisee is not going to be able to afford that type of policy.

Two years ago, I tried video editing for the first time. It was a small project, a 15 second video with multiple video and audio tracks, some basic white balance and color correction, and minor animations. I tried the 3 major FOSS video editors at the time, OpenShot, ShotCut, and KdenLive, in order to figure out which one was more appropriate for me. I also watched some tutorial videos on each of the video editors. My conclusion was that OpenShot was too basic for even such a small project, KdenLive was usable but lacked some tools which made editing somewhat burdensome, and ShotCut was the winner with its toolset and UI, although it crashed the most out of the three.

However, even with such a simple project, none of the three FOSS tools were easy to use, and all were barriers to my efficiency and creativity. I then searched for commercial offerings, and have been using Davinci Resolve, where even the free basic version was light years beyond the FOSS choices in terms of speed, ease of use, and features. As someone who uses FOSS tools (GIMP, Inkscape) for ideological reasons, I was a bit disappointed by how large of a gap there was between FOSS and commercial video editors. I haven't looked at the FOSS versions since then, perhaps they have improved.
