Indeed, a "newer" democracy. New and shiny. Please do not pay attention to the Arabs in the Occupied Territories.

Israeli academia is one of the most important mouthpieces of the establishment and is used to enable Israel to present itself abroad as "the only democracy in the Middle East."

That is why there is an academic boycott. Israeli academic institution boycotts are an important component of the BDS movement. The boycott is necessary because there is a moral imperative to end the occupation and only outside pressure, like the pressure that was exerted on the apartheid regime in South Africa, can perhaps achieve this.

You’re right about all of that, and most people really don’t know the extent of corporate and security state capture in US “free press”… but it’s pretty useless as a defense of BTC policy in El Salvador, or as a critique of this article.

Do that twice, running two firefoxes using two profiles, then click a link in a third application. This tends to try to launch a third firefox process which hangs for a while then says "application already running".

Okay, so you run one of them without no-remote. I had some issues with that, but it mostly works. Now how do you change the default profile? You completely stop firefox, update your shortcuts and finally, in my case, give up on using multiple profiles with firefox on a day to day basis.
What situation is the computer going to do objectively better? I don't really care to swap any number of survivable accidents for one situation like that.
We should strive to make reporting so easy and painless it is routine. I believe this together with finding ways to increase trust is the only way to decrease the first type of under-reporting.
> remove ads but would not do that for content on the web

The "pro" app equivalent is existing paywalls, NYT-style.

> micropayment is far move fraud resistant because all the bots pretending to be humans and clicking ads do not work anymore

But different sorts of fraud are imaginable, especially if you don't confirm every single payment. If you do confirm every single payment that's probably unacceptable user friction. Or the copyright problem already seen with NFTs and content farms: copy someone else's pages, charge for access to them.
Would you mention what you don't understand so that someone can help you instead of just talking bad about a very nifty piece of software?
I used to not block ads, but today it's almost impossible to use any site that depends on ad revenue without an ad blocker. The amount of garbage on the page - notifications, badges, banners, popups, whatever else crap marketing people invent - is staggering. Sites are mangled to the point of being unusable. I want to support creators, but it's a two-way street.
I personally feel like there are game mechanics, and then there are game mechanics. The former is about producing fun, worthwhile, interesting experiences. The latter is about engagement and manipulation. I personally feel that clicker games are almost entirely the latter.
That’s a few ex-spies that get to spend retirement in relative luxury in return for occasionally and sternly looking into a camera and making some completely obvious point, but with a lot of authority.

There are more military veterans at McDonald’s, maybe even in relative terms. That doesn’t mean the Marines are infiltrating the McNugget supply.

But, yea, top politicians and “the mainstream media” sometimes have similar world views. That’s as non-scandalous as it is obvious and unavoidable.
I would love it if PAASs such as Heroku and Fly.io had configurable outbound firewalls. Especially when building with un-curated package managers such as NPM and PyPi, it’s virtually impossible to audit all dependencies.

Exploits like this and the now regular news of packages being replaced with backdoored versions makes me very nervous. Being able to whitelist what outbound connections were aloud would help enormously, even though it would not solve all potential exploits.

Is there a recommended way to do this with a Docker app?

Edit: Should note already use inbound waf like CloudFlare. What I want is something like Little Snitch but for a PAAS deployed app.
I have a feeling we will see a future like this, in some places, for some topics. Writing about GPT-3 I mentioned:

> Will the average person be influenced? If advertising and the idea of saying something over and over works, and words are free, and you can GPT-3 your hand-rolled (or state authorized) propaganda every day in every comment thread in every forum to look like an average person is advocating for X, will other average people be more convinced of X?

"In the long run we are all dead." -- also Keynes
"twice as bad"

No, it isn't. This is what you need to get through your head: the brains (really, the souls) are always different and there is a huge amount of subjectivity involved in experiencing a migrane, for example. You are trying to make moral reasoning neat and tidy math, using precise-sounding terms like "twice", but it simply isn't.

Basic utilitarian reasoning leads to obviously incorrect moral positions such as liquidating a small, troublesome and annoying minority being fine so long as it increases "the greater good". This is where the math leads, and it's all built on a foundation of clay, namely that there exists a mathematically precise, comparable measure of general "utility" that can be compared, summed-up, etc. between moral agents.

The whole thing would would be pure comedy, were it not for the fact that intelligent people take it seriously.
Interesting question. Do you mean "Upload a video to one service and it will upload it to Spotify/YouTube/[insert-platform], then automatically transcribe it and create a blog post with the transcript, then summarize that transcription and put in a summary at different places, then detect laughter and automatically make segments and title them based on the topic in the neighborhood of that laughter and upload segments, then post thumbnails to Instagram and similar platforms, and Tweet about it, then send something to a list of feeds and newsletters"?
There is precisely one scenario in which I find a touchscreen useful: If I'm opening a long series of links, I'll hold control and rapidly touch them each in sequence. This is much, much faster than using a mouse, let alone a touchpad.

This however is so useful, it's almost worth it on its own.

Nimby strike again, the problem is the only people who can really fix this would end up losing money. Homeowners need to start voting to allow more housing to being built, but imagine if tomorrow getting a building permit took 30 minutes, and you could build whatever residential structure wherever you want it to.

Home values would stop appreciating at such a rapid pace, I'm seeing this all over the United States. States. It's as if we forgot how to build homes, so what happens is an old rundown apartment building gets a few coats of paint, and turns into a luxury condo complex.

This has the effect of displacing the previous residents, while pushing other landlords to also convert to condos.

Few cities are doing housing well, my beloved Chicago is a good example. Since enough people are leaving, and there's enough stock to begin with, rent is still very affordable. I can still get a metro accessible two bedroom for around $1,100. Split that with a friend, and your rent only $550 a month.

Hypothetically, if you have two job offers, one required you to be on site in Seattle but pays 200k a year, and the other allows you to live wherever you want in the United States but only pays 120k, you might come out ahead with the 120k a year job.

It's been widely reported that iCloud is exploitable (by setting your phone's name to something that includes the "${jndi:ldap://...}" incantation), so if you're using an iPhone, cloud services you use may have been compromised. Haven't seen an assessment yet of exactly what's at risk from that. Also haven't seen much about Android apps using log4j -- depending on how (and whether) Android's nonstandard library handles JNDI, this may be mitigated, but stay tuned.

As to home PCs -- if you're running anything written in Java which logs strings under somebody else's control (email subject lines, to cite one potentially plausible example), well... they might be able to run code on your box.
> My view is leadership is the least important part of a successful business

Leadership is the part of the company that decides what the company will pursue. Tesla started making electric cars because Tesla leadership decided to. When they started making the Model 3 or PowerWalls or rolled out the SuperCharger network, it’s because leadership decided to.

> and "management" is the least important part of leadership.

This part could very well be true.
I used to work in game development before I did all this serious business banking shit. Some of the best people I ever worked with were in that area.

Doesn't exactly cover it. Strings, uh, find a way.
Hopefully everyone hesitates and reads legal contracts. Why is "hesitation" a bad thing here? Even if you fully agree with the sentiments of the goal, it's still obligatory to read the legalese in the damn thing and understand what it means for your life. I find all sorts of things in contracts I don't agree with, and they require careful reading and sometimes outside legal opinion. Had I not, I would have been barred from the niche industry I work in for 5 years after completing a contract job.

Your post ought to be ample proof that subjective opinions (like the one you display here) are not solid grounds for hiring decisions.

When looking at this person's Github page, I -unlike you- see a vast number of trivial projects that can best be described as regurgitations of other people's work. Even worse, if you actually look at his first pinned project (https://github.com/kevinburke/nacl), you'll see that it is nothing but a wrapper with trivial changes/updates... an anti-project.

In the end, I see code that provides the illusion of competence but, when actually inspected, is actually telling me not to hire this person. The fact that pretty much anyone can declare oneself "a software engineer" today and easily present a veneer of competence together with powerful financial incentives, makes it absolutely necessary for any serious engineering team to have objective measures in place in order to evaluate candidates.

There are so many terrible engineers out there (and some even slip through the cracks and land at places like FAANG) that doing anything less is irresponsible.

*Off-topic:* I've experimented with a new layout in Firefox, and now I can't think of going back.

I first installed Tree Style Tab. I then removed the tabs at the top of the window and added a permanent status bar to the bottom of the window using userChrome.css: https://i.imgur.com/PIONywj.png (edited to add, my userChrome.css: https://gist.github.com/anthonyclarka2/155c038de96e91894cbd4... ) (EDIT: I added some extra css to this to set the titlebar and system UI buttons - use the first revision if you don't want that)

The tree style tabs are wonderful. I can see a grouping of tabs, see which tab is the "parent" of a bunch of pages. I often have a root tab with Jira current sprint, then a ticket sub item, then branching from that I have various documentation and github pages open. All of those pages together form one mental "unit" of related information and work.

I'm sorry to post this in a somewhat unrelated thread, but I'm geeked out by how well this works! Firefox is better for my needs anyway, because I can tag bookmarks. Much easier to find saved pages through searching tags for "emacs, babel, python" for instance. Or "firefox, tabs, css"

*On-topic:* This move by Google is going to lose them a ton of browser users, I think. People love blocking ads! Especially tech-minded folk, who are often asked to recommend software or repair things for less knowledgeable or comfortable people.

I'd also like to see a Chromium fork that continues to allow the Manifest V2 API.
It has already been used in the wild as a cryptominer delivery vehicle.
Yeah... what happens when Google decides something important can't work without one of the disabled features?

Look, Google controls Chromium and they have the resources (and incentive?) to keep these smaller browsers running in order to keep up with them.

You can't compare ELO ratings from different populations. They are like different units.

It used to be the case that human+computer combo was better than a computer alone but it's most likely not the case anymore. Even if it is the difference is miniscule. It seems you're a bit behind recent developments in computer chess. It's worth catching up, modern engines have way superior understanding (in collapsing to human GMs) of positional chess and traditionally hard openings like King's Indian.

Firstly, I don't think that your web data would be particularly predictive for insurance...

No? They use a multitude of sources (Facebook for example) and factors such as "Do you buy premium beer" to judge how much of a sucker you are and adjust their price according. There have been cases in the US with rates varying significantly among individuals who live in the same neighborhood with similar size houses and coverages.

Again, the rate they initially offer and any subsequent increases depends on how much of a sucker they think you are.

Cool. Also nice to see a well written ARCHITECTURE.md. I like this bit about dealing with memory:

> Almost all memory allocations in space-shooter.c are static, with dynamic allocations only used to load image and sound assets when the game initializes. This leads to a nice "programmer peace of mind" benefit that once the game initializes, I no longer have to worry about errors related to allocating or freeing memory.

It's something I also do myself in C projects - in fact in small programs I hardly ever find myself doing dynamic allocations at all. Functions that generate data don't allocate the memory themselves but receive a reference to an output location. That principle extends to larger programs. (It's not novel either, most system level libraries do this)
I've never seen this to be true in any of the mature, publicly traded companies that I have worked at. It also seems like poor corporate governance to let someone spend millions without proper review. Consider the opportunities for fraud, waste, embezzlement, scams, etc.

> That's sort of true in the abstract, but misses the point. Autonomy isn't about "defining conditions", it's about solving real problems. Cars that are L3 only in traffic jams on the Autobahn aren't very autonomous, nor useful. If it's stop go and the system gets above 60kph, it cuts out. If the stoppage is due to construction, it won't work.

> I mean, sure, it's an advantage for people who actually need to drive in exactly those conditions.

> But it's not a engineering advantage of the system. Fast forward a year and look at where Daimler will be and where Tesla will be. Who's going to get to a L3 system on general roads first? Who's going to be running L4 driverless vehicles first?

> Which is to repeat: it's just a stunt. It's a way to "sound like" they're "ahead" in this area of technology, when clearly they aren't. In fact this car is doing more or less exactly what Teslas were doing in the first version of Autopilot more than six years ago. And note that in all that time, those Teslas haven't been hitting anyone in slow traffic jams on well-maintained limited access highways either.

If it's a race to see which company can develop fully self-driving cars that work in all conditions in the next 5 years than maybe Tesla could be "ahead" of Mercedes-Benz (although it seems to be way behind other companies like Waymo).

However, if we are actually decades away from fully self-driving cars that work in all conditions it is much more useful to have cars that can be trusted to operate without human supervision in limited but well defined conditions, because it is much more useful to be able to have a car that allows you to do something else other than focus on driving SOME of the time than a car that assists you more in some ways but requires supervision ALL of the time.

If Tesla's approach precludes them from making self driving technology work reliably under limited conditions like this, it doesn't matter whether their self driving technology works better (but not reliably) in other conditions, because in practice it won't be as useful as more limited but reliable self driving systems.

Some countries are already requiring the approach Mercedes-Benz is taking here for regulatory approval and based on the number of accidents Tesla vehicles have been involved in its possible that the US could adopt the same approach.

If this happens it will not be useful at all to have a more advanced but incomplete and unreliable self-driving technology in the short term (but perhaps it will be possible to keep developing it without shipping it in cars until it reaches a sufficient level of reliability).

This may work for smaller payments <$10, like when I had to split a restaurant bill with a foreign friend and paid him using the lightning network. (I wasn't carrying cash, and she no longer had a bank account in El Salvador, and other options would have been more expensive).

What I've seen is that Salvadorans in the U.S., that have bought or sent bitcoin using their U.S. credit/cards with the Chivo Wallet App based in El Salvador, is that have been hit by 1%-3% foreign transaction fees or cash advance fees from their U.S. banks.

So for some larger amounts it may end up being more expensive than a normal remittance.
The secret to these is to not play the game. If you send me to a website like coderpad I'll just say thanks but no thanks.

Well, even if you encoded the music digitally into the card, then it is still dependent on layers of complex software and hardware to decode and play it, so it's still ephemeral. If you wanted true physicality, then you'd etch the analog waveform onto the card. /s

Sarcasm aside, I am pretty sure "restore some kind of physicality" refers to how it allows one to physically browse through a stack of music choices with printed art instead of scrolling through Spotify. That sounds fun and meaningful in itself!

For folks who care about the literal digital or analog physicality of the music, there are always CDs and vinyl, respectively. I'm sure the author is quite aware of this.
I suspect in this case he was quoting the other person directly, rather than trying to diminish the title as it applies to asset artists. This is an increasingly common way to use quotes in textual conversations, as a way to clarify which noun is being discussed. I'm not sure if its "correct" but it's increasingly common.

Rephrased (accurately for intent) I thought it would be:

> Just to clarify, when you say "I am an artist and I love playing the games I've made with friends and strangers", do you mean artist as in the game-asset creator type of artist, or artist as in a romanticized version of a software engineer?
