Just because the floodgates haven't opened with all of the insight you may want doesn't mean it's not valid - re: "bullshit meter".

Google has an army of the best in legal and part of their play is limiting this information from ever being seen. I'm curious, what would be enough validation to pass your sniff test? And are you saying you think this is being overblown?

Well, it kind of was. It was the only player with the click wheel interface, and the only one that supported Firewire. This gave it the advantage of being generally easy to use and was very fast and convenient to load music. It also looked pretty good (I wanted one the minute I saw it).

With the downsides being that 1. it was pretty expensive and 2. that it had an in built hard-drive that didn't really enjoy being bumped about too much (my 3rd gen died with the HDD) so you had to treat it carefully.

However they iterated pretty quickly after that, adding Windows support, USB, colour hi-res screens and massively reducing the size whilst also reducing the price. All of this allowed them to outstrip the competition so much that they were pretty soon one of the very few players left in that market.
>I think it also had defenders because it forced sites like news organizations to re-think their 20MB+ ad and tracker laden story pages. So it wasn't all bad.

This was mainly it. Modern basically-just-text-content sites are hilariously bloated and slow, and this seemed like a genuine attempt to fix it. I remember I defended it for those reasons. It didn't pan out that way, though.

Also, I definitely remember AMP critics, or at least skeptics, getting plenty of upvotes from the very beginning, I'm not sure it was that hard to criticize.
I'm not a gamer, but from what I've read, the whole industry has been transformed by the incredible lengths people go to, to cheat.

There is an exception to this - G sites routinely run slower on FF, but this is very likely how Google wants it to be.
I mean, it's not amnesty international, but a UN Special Rapporteur on Torture claimed:

"Mr. Assange has been deliberately exposed, for a period of several years, to progressively severe forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, the cumulative effects of which can only be described as psychological torture."

There is literally zero implication of a conspiracy in any of my prior posts?

Rather no one dumps everything in a deposition. If there is something that could help opposing counsel, then it will be avoided as best as possible. This is basic law 101.

Just because you, and some others, know exactly what is there (presumably) doesn’t mean everyone else does! And I’ve seen first hand how opposing counsels can screw themselves over by not spending time and effort to figure out how the technology actually works, and many times plaintiffs don’t either, so they just don’t know where to poke.

And that is avoiding that knowledge of a previously hidden area (such as if something is recoverable that seems like it should not be because they have the wrong assumptions or don’t know how it actually works internally!) can radically change the actual strategy and applicable law.

You seem to keep asserting that everyone already knows everything and all optimal strategies are already known because of this, which does not apply to the real world at all.

So they reinvented a variation of the kibbutz? There are many communities like that in Israel with different variations of communality and with different variations of success. I would say the success rate is a bit like startups but the ones that survived and prospered can be a very nice place to live for the people who like that kind of life. It is certainly not for everyone and some places are struggling to convince the younger generations to stay.

A friend had a professor at uni who'd been recruited to join a deep-sea scientific mission which was an absolutely incredible opportunity: a phenomenally well-appointed ship, newly constructed, a large scientific crew, and funding was completely assured.

He went on the project, returned home, and read much later in the paper that he'd been part of the cover mission for the recovery of the sunken Soviet submarine K-129, aboard the Glomar Explorer. According to the professor, he'd had absolutely no inkling of that mission.

That's one method.

The one used by Saddam Hussein as he executed (so to speak) his 1979 coup was rather more direct, and is explained here by Christopher Hitchens:

During WWII, numerous individuals turned on their own countrymen, comrades, and fellow Jews, as Quislings, collaborators, and capos, through a mix of threats and rewards.

And of course, various paths toward corruption are seen all the time in gangs, business, government, institutions, and other contexts.

That said, I'd have a very hard time working with anyone who is still working for a Facebook, Google, Amazon, Oracle, Palantir, AT&T, Verizon, or numerous other firms in the surveillance capitalism space today.

Ludicrously bad article.

Claims with no evidence whatsoever that foreclosure in China will somehow drag down the rest of the world.

Claims that a real estate crash in China will impair China's ability to manufacture and export. The linkage is not obvious.

Also drags in the power crisis in China, which is unrelated to its real estate market and only tangentially related to manufacture and export.
While I find what Google and Facebook do personally distasteful, it would be foolish and short-sighted to assume everyone who had worked there was complicit. It’s one thing to be an employee at a giant company that does a multitude of things, one of which when misused can present a threat, and an entirely different thing to sign up to work at a place who’s product’s _intended use_ is to support tyranny.
And as far as I understand, disabling AMFI disables code signing support and enforcement completely.

Sure, technically they're Chromium, not Chrome, and probably you don't share your data with Google (though who can say for sure). But whichever you choose, you're still allowing Google to control the Web ecosystem, from web standards to ad blocking.
I mean, it's a bit difficult to compare and contrast various bullets without talking about stopping power and wound channels.

In case anyone else is curious about this:

>The research, published August 18 in Nature, focused on the effect of a high-fructose diet on villi, the thin, hairlike structures that line the inside of the small intestine. Villi expand the surface area of the gut and help the body to absorb nutrients, including dietary fats, from food as it passes through the digestive tract. The study found that mice that were fed diets that included fructose had villi that were 25 percent to 40 percent longer than those of mice that were not fed fructose. Additionally, the increase in villus length was associated with increased nutrient absorption, weight gain and fat accumulation in the animals.[0]

We're doing exactly this to teleoperate humanoid robots on high-latency networks!

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.01281

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3u4ot3aIyQ

"We introduce a system in which a humanoid robot executes commands before it actually receives them, so that the visual feedback appears to be synchronized to the operator, whereas the robot executed the commands in the past. To do so, the robot continuously predicts future commands by querying a machine learning model that is trained on past trajectories and conditioned on the last received commands. In our experiments, an operator was able to successfully control a humanoid robot (32 degrees of freedom) with stochastic delays up to 2 seconds in several whole-body manipulation tasks, including reaching different targets, picking up, and placing a box at distinct locations."

Java sucks, and should stop being taught as the defacto language in computer science curriculums. It's extremely busy and verbose. There are better OO languages out there, if the point is to teach OO.

Same here (as a kid growing up in the 80s) - it was always a drink for when you were ill. Lucozade also had a reputation as being even more sugary than other fizzy drinks. I'm sure it was even marketed back then as an 'energy' drink.

I see that nowdays even the sugar-free lucozade is advertised as an energy drink, I'm not sure quite how that works, though!
That used to be true. But clearly Windows is going in the same direction as Android and macOS.

Also they ignore when race actually is an issue, like the totally disproportionate amount of crime and rape committed by black people. They have no problem stereotyping and being racist against Asian and Indian men though.

Same where I live, and now we have 1 empty bike lane and traffic jam in the remaining with sirens all the time because emergency vehicles can't pass anymore. It seems completely useless, convert a fully functional lane of a road, to an empty lane that's not used, why? And that reasoning is also really strange, just remove roads to force people to drive less? Well you also just removed mobility? Remove busses, subways, remove everything so nobody ever travels anymore, best solution?
Many Germans went along with Hitler’s policies, convinced that they would ultimately be advantageous for the country. Reasonable public health measures don’t require censorship of public discourse.
But then we'd have to get into other messy things like the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley bypassing the president's constitutional executive authorities ability to launch a nuclear attack. Of course it's framed as him saving humanity, but at it's core you had a treasonous act.

> Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley took steps to prevent then-President Donald Trump from misusing the country's nuclear arsenal during the last month of his presidency, according to a new book by The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Robert Costa obtained by NBC News.

> The book, set to be released Sept. 21, also recounted a phone conversation Milley had with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after the Jan. 6 violence at the Capitol, which Pelosi blamed on an "unhinged" Trump. Pelosi said in January that she spoke to Milley about "preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike."

> "I can guarantee you, you can take it to the bank, that there'll be, that the nuclear triggers are secure and we're not going to do — we're not going to allow anything crazy, illegal, immoral or unethical to happen," Milley told her, according to a transcript of the call obtained by the authors.

> "The president alone can order the use of nuclear weapons. But he doesn't make the decision alone. One person can order it, several people have to launch it," he said later in the conversation.

> After the call, Milley summoned senior officers from the National Military Command Center to go over the procedures for launching nuclear weapons, the book said. He told the officers that if they got a call, "you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure," he said — making sure he was in the loop on any planned military actions, the book said.

In China, they actively discourage (to put it mildly) drug abuse. They may be housing the addicted but they are certainly not permitting them to remain addicts. On the other hand, there is no agreement in US society that we should stop addicts from getting their fix -- if anything, the current progressive regime believes in housing addicts and facilitating continued access to drugs.

How does this allow for header bidding? Anything needed could be done in page or with a connection that delays the response until some condition is met.

The browser adding an artificial delay seems like it's just a way for the browser to control the process, and when the browser is controlled by an ad network, that makes me very suspicious as to the motives for an artificial delay.
