> Companies have no problem hiring people with degrees even though getting a degree takes more time than an immigrant visa so I don't buy the time explanation

Unless you're suggesting that companies give offer letters to freshmen and then hire them upon graduation 4 years later (which I don't think is very common) this bears no comparison to what we're discussing. Next you'll be telling me companies are happy to wait for employees to be conceived, born, and go through primary and secondary school too, so why can't they wait for an EB green card?

> which takes time too

But far less time - O(months) rather than O(years). If the worker is already in the country working on another visa, then it's even less time. And there are no per-country caps to throw a wrench in the works.

> it's the obvious benefit as they get someone to do the job nobody else can.

That's useless if it'll take 1-20 years (depending on the country of birth of the employee) for them to actually be able to work for you. If they relied solely on the EB system they would have 1) no American to do the work and 2) the person they found not allowed to do the work in a reasonable amount of time (and no, 1+ year is not reasonable for a new hire to start).
There's a difference between the government banning an app from a country entirely, and banning anyone in their military from using an app or even a smart phone or anything with a camera, especially inside a military base!
I am really not breaking new ground when I say that the "modern API" is entirely neutered. It has been discussed here at length. It is so neutered, that literally no one uses it except where it is mandatory.
And here is the real banger: YOU DON'T EVEN USE IT when you try to block ads on youtube.

Let's recap:
You are worse at blocking ads, because you can not block dynamically and the user can not add rules to sites or elements. For example, whenever my favorite news site fixes its ad block blocker, I'd have to wait for you to update the block list instead of just killing the new script. This happens on the reg, and you can't do anything about it.
Or consider websites who hijack right-clicking or scroll bars. Consider people who have to use usability tools to make those sites work for them, like text2speech. Your product doesn't do a single thing there.

Let's recap more:
You have "best in class" ad blocking on youtube? uBlock blocks all ads, period, with 100% success, on any video site. For years now.
Your product? "More or less" perhaps a good description?
And best of all, you have to follow 1Block and inject your own browser addon, literally breaking your privacy promise to the user for EVERY WEBSITE THAT HAS VIDEOS.
This is not even close to being a good option, but you come here and say your ad blocker is more privacy conscious when it just isn't (if it is supposed to block ads). What?

Let's move on:
You can't block trackers because you cannot block fingerprinting. You only have a block list when we now know that's not enough. You can't do things PrivacyBadger does, since the EFF has already determined it doesn't work due to the new and "improved" API.
You are selling snake-oil here.

So. Even without any expert features, your product is simply inferior. You can not even hold the promise of privacy, because you literally need to break it to have any chance of blocking anything on youtube. Well guess what, there are more sites than youtube out there.

None of this is news. We have been through this many times. In every measurable way the "legacy adblockers" are superior.

What IS necessary to discuss is you having the gall to come to this website and market your product with obvious falsities - things like the new API being anything but ineffective, and then going ahead and posting the refutation of exactly that point on your own website [1].

Are you even serious?
I hope not.

I hope this doesn't sound trite, but I'm sorry for your recent losses. I'm sure others in this discussion share that sentiment.
Nobody called for racial discrimination. Vetting needs to be done based on potential risks posed by connections (possible or confirmed) to a hostile foreign power that is both an autocratic regime and capable of using its influence to coerce people into committing espionage.

Those same considerations would not apply to Taiwanese Americans.

All western countries dealing with China need to consider their security policy carefully and comments like yours poison the well of debate by conflating racial discrimination with legitimate security concerns.

What you're asking is a whole other topic, and one I'm not familiar enough with to weigh in on. I don't have any data on how effective such an organization is...only its role, and I'm not aware of any organization filling that role for Facebook pages today...except maybe Facebook, which is obviously a problem for the same reasons you point out about the BBB because the incentives aren't quite there.
I really do not appreciate this article. It exaggerated a Reuters article that itself exaggerated the document without saying anything outright false.

In the exact line where they talk about reducing abortions, they say that access to contraception and evidence based sex ed should be strengthened.

That seems to me to be the exact opposite of trying to have more children - and it's a lot closer to Bill Clinton's "safe accessible and rare" strategy than anything else.
You understood what I meant though. If the point was understood, then the language used has served its purpose.

The term Autopilot seems to be taken from the aviation industry, where "Autopilots do not replace human operators.

Fully agree the piece isn't saying anything. But imho it's justified. There's another link on astro on hn..

What is this "product" exactely? What is actually the use of this thing. I'm not meaning what can it be possibly, in the future, maybe be used for, but really why has it been made? I'm sure getting tons of indoor maps and data points is juicy. This is a luxuous gadget, wasting time for people (to "use" and to build), wasting materials and electricity (i'd be curious about the mean use time). And it adds yet another set of fingers to the data monster.

> Does it share video, house maps, whatever with Amazon?

The most i'd trust it not to share is the continuous navigational image feed. I imagine it has some web dashboard which would be surprising if hosted on the thing and not in amazon's DCs.

Even if our products were manufactured here, rather than China, we might still have this problem. We can’t regulate without increasing costs.
I'm not making China out to be an omniscient bogeyman. The U.S. has used companies to gain access to secure systems in other countries. It's just a reality that ANY country can do this. To deny that is to either be a shill, or woefully ignorant.
Thanks for posting. I'll be straight up, I get emails from blog readers linking me to posts like this. I have sinned. Many, many times.

But here are five reasons why I don't feel like I can ever apply the advice:

1. In my measured testing, I discovered that if I blog for myself I enjoy the process & outcomes more. I also write more, the less I think about my audience. And when I blog for myself, I don't feel like a headline is relevant unless it helps me remember what's in the post.

1. I already made money with a blog in the past, and personally I think there are easier ways to make money. Personally I think I could do better over the next year by buying $DOGE today with a month's paycheck than by hitting publish on 100 good headlines with a month's effort. But maybe that's just me.

1. When people read my blog I don't really feel like I get anything authentically energizing out of it, unless I feel that they are reading thoughts from my authentic self. And my authentic self is a bit tired of marketing optimization, unfortunately.

1. Every time I try to write to my audience, I make a friend who's in a different audience, and I think, "maybe I like that audience also" and it just turns into a big mess. Maybe the audience model is not the right writing model for me at all.

1. A good way to be provocative is to piss off your readers, and giving them rambling, vague, highly subjective headlines is a great way to do that. (OK this one is a reach, I admit)

(Sorry for those concerned, I couldn't resist a little markdown humor)

Still, I thank you for the article as the points will eventually make it through.
And then still render it in 3D, right? That's a really cool idea.

Hmm, not sure how that would work if some-merchant.com is sending logs of your browsing to FB or GOOG? You likely don't want to block the shop you're browsing (though maybe you'd leave abd shop on a different site if you knew...). I don't see how ublock, hostfile adblocking/filtering or DNS adblocking/filtering could help, really.
"App Engine nginx load balancer provides an off-the-shelf SSL certificate managed by Google."

You're welcome. I started the support request for this feature and fought for it for... if I recall, over 5 years. I think over 7. It was a running joke in the thread. You could use Let's Encrypt and generate the certificates in Google Compute using an off the shelf script, then copy & paste the results into App Engine settings. There was no excuse they couldn't automate this. I gave them all my scripts, showed where the buttons should go in their interface and explained the simple things they should do. Eventually they listened. Pretty soon after launching (6 months?) they switched to signing the certs themselves rather than using Let's Encrypt directly, but the feature remained.

Schools of thought are pronounced throughout engineering. Just look at metric vs imperial systems for a quick example. The difference is often that there are more objective measures for "correctness". But even still, context, history, and situational awareness matter immensely. A 2" screw might be just what you need.

This of course all starts to break down at the language level itself. Complexity simply refuses to be wrangled.
I think the relationship between the forms is a good thing to point out, but I also feel that simply calling them "verbs" and "nouns" goes a bit too far and is potentially confusing.

For example, nouns can be the subject of a sentence, but na-adjectives cannot.
「先生が読みました。」◯
「元気が読みました。」(incorrect)
「元気で読みました。」◯

As for verb conjugations, 扱い can function as a noun, despite being formed from the verb 扱う.

> but I'm of the view that 'if I don't someone else will', and so in a way I'd rather learn more about it, maybe be the inside voice to say No this is way too far etc.

I can't remember where I saw it, but I once read a rather convincing article that made the case that's the exact attitude the allows immoral things to happen, especially at scale. Basically "participate, but try to change it from the inside" pretty much simplifies into just "participate." You give them your talent, and either your attempts at change fail or are so small to be pointless (e.g. winning the fight to not pack Jews in so tightly in the boxcars that are still going to the concentration camp).

I misspoke a bit here. For an orbital vehicle, yes absolutely. Since this vehicle has a relatively shallow suborbital trajectory, I assumed the vehicle has a 1st burn to reach an apogee of ~100km. Upon reaching apogee it orientates itself towards it's earth-bound target, and then executes a second burn. Thus accelerating under thrust towards it's target. Ergo it's maximum speed would occur somewhere between it's apogee and when it re-enters the atmosphere. At least that was my interpretation of the text in the article.

I would like to call this man’s bluff: he was not fired or censured by the university. He found it uncomfy and left. His crusade to publish 20 fake papers to prove a point about what journals will accept shows a pre-existing contempt. His prominent media tour, and subsequent complaints about lack of coverage by ‘liberal media’ continues that provocateur ethos. Let him make his points, but I refuse to believe in the stereotype that ideological homogeneity is some kind of crisis in academia. I’ll pay attention when they start purging the Keynesian economics professors and disallowing Christians from matriculation without denouncing their faith. I’ll fight back when those professors who disagree with Inclusion culture are fired for their beliefs. Until then this feels much like the rest of the conservative persecution tropes and I’m just not biting.
