I would question the author's casual belief that a so-called "righteous" attitude , where one has decided that they have more wisdom on a particular topic than some other particular group of people, necessarily means they therefore lose all their empathy for that group. This is a huge leap and I personally don't believe there is any such necessity:

> Viewing ourselves as “good,” in fact we become grievously toxic, literally intoxicated. In this poisonous state of mind we are able to write off others — often literally billions of others — without hesitation or remorse, because they are “bad.”

my covid-denying, chain-smoking, cancer-surviving 85 year old aunt in Florida would totally consider know-it-all, liberal (and probably "antifa"!) me to be "righteous" but I sure am worried that she's going to get covid, I worry for her health, what's happened to her mind being fully indoctrinated by FOX news. She's not written off. My other cousin who pushes ivermectin propaganda on FB, OK maybe I'm a little less empathetic there :)
Full page was likely a cost-effective option to get this on someone influential's kitchen table or desk - or maybe on a coffee table in the google offices. A smaller might be cheaper (though not always), but less impactful.

Assuming a slight increase from BayAreaNewsGroup's 2019-20 prices[0], this cost between $6K and $13K as a black-and-white, full-page (6col x 21in) run on a Monday.

A full-page ad lists for $12,205 with opional distribution to Marin for an additional ~$1K and color for a 15% surcharge. There's also an "Early Week - Two Insertions in Three Days, Monday thru Wednesday" offer for $6K which gives an idea how much discount they may have gotten by running on a Monday instead of Thursday or Sunday where the impressions would be higher.

That comes from using "always run" in classic Doom/Quake etc.
Same here. Worst thing that's happened is when it refuses to load a site until I restart it after a background update, which kinda kills my flow for a second, but at least it restores the session immediately. I have noticed something on some of the more sketchy sites in which resource usage spikes, which I am guessing is some new abuse of workers or something. The uneducated conspiracy theorist in me assumes some magic crypto mining background thing that uBlock hasn't identified yet, but I haven't been bothered to investigate since it's rare and brief.

I find it weird that there are two kinds of snobbery for goods. (Harmless snobbery - de gustibus non disputandum est).

Coffee, wine and whisky lovers adore the rarest and most refined, and insist the everyday stuff is vile. But lovers of crime novels, science fiction and anime adore the widest range, and insist that the most obscure trash contains treasure. I've never met a wine lover who would rave about obscure objectively-bad wines, or a sci-fi fan who will only read the most perfect works. I don't know quite what the difference is - consumability? Physical flavour?

I'm all for letting people enjoy what they enjoy. Personally I wouldn't want my palate to become so refined it became a hassle.

This info is not entirely correct: they cite ‘the bulletin’, which links to sources that say Brussels airlines is planning to make 3000 unnecessary flights, as part of 18.000 flights planned by their mother company Lufthansa. Lufthansa published this news themselves, I presume they also hope the rules get changed. Not that one should have sympathy for the airline, but it’s good to keep the facts straight. And note that in this case, pressure on the EU officials could still help prevent (at least a part of) these flights.

I'm sure the irony isn't lost on you, Mr. Anti-Spreader.

One could argue any sort of idea is itself inherently a virus; once your mind understands it, it "clicks" into your head, and now you think about, and use it all the time -- spreading it to others.

It's a function of modern language/living, I believe.

Sigh. Switching from "Strict" to "Standard" in the Firefox security settings "fixes" it. Or disabling Enhanced Protection for the individual website.
This has been happening for god knows how many releases now. Release notes make it seem like it's a minor version update and I'm not sure there were that many changes since they don't and haven't been caring. I will still use Firefox since it's not Chrome, but what people have been saying is true: it's a facade so google does not get sued for antitrust/monopoly.

I don't know how to fix this, but I believe sometime down the road the EU is going to sue Google and also believe Firefox is going to be forked. Can't wait for both of those things to happen.

I've found it that in my social circles, people working in tech are the ones most wary of stuff like crypto and NFTs. Starting from when BTC first started hitting the news many years ago to NFTs and Web3 today.

Granted some big names in tech are also some of the biggest proponents too.
Any simple heuristic has false positives, meaning they'll end up taking down legitimate sites that had repeated content for a good reason.
Say, for example two sites quoting text from the us constitution. The second one to be crawled would be considered to be spam copying the first one and removed from web results. Then you'll get comments on hacker news complaining that Google is censoring it for political reasons.

And any simple heuristic is quickly reverse engineered by SEOs, who will find a way to mask it as legitimate.

tl;dr it's a hard problem.

Re: "don't make cheese with raw milk. You'll regret it." If the only non-homogenized milk I can find is raw, is it safe to home-pasteurize it (63C for 30 mins,) or am I better off using the homogenized stuff?

Three-sided cards.

This is a simple installation I have upstairs

HTTPS://GEN5.INFO/$/S1WRY:GO2099AW5ZB/

Those three cards each have a back side with a QR code and metadata that you can see by clicking on the individual cards in that constellation. Next to the constellation there is a QR code printed on a small paper square. As of last night I have printed 198 different cards including fine art, anime fan art, and photos I take myself.

It is "simple" in that no database is involved and the hosting system is just Amazon S3. The images and metadata are packed up by a Python script and the process is highly streamlined, I've gone from snapping the shutter on my Sony α7ii to card with a web presence in 15 minutes of wallclock time. I've discovered the cards as much as I created them and there are numerous details such as positioning the QR code on the back so it doesn't get damaged when you attach the card to the wall, etc.
The really sad thing is that they actually had this.

Hangouts on a Google Fi phone used to let you consolidate everything to hangouts - SMS, Chats, Calls, etc. It was a pain it was limited to Fi, but it worked just fine. You could also pop open Hangouts in Gmail in your browser and there all your sms messages were, nicely grouped and tracked.

Then apparently hangouts stopped being cool enough - so Google decided to shutter it in favor of "Google Messages". Technically - "Messages for web" also supports the same feature set as the integrated hangouts, but it FUCKING SUCKS.

The phone/browser syncing is bad, the UI is a complete regression. Just the process of enabling it required me to actually contact support at google fi (you have to open settings, disable previous sms settings for fi, stop hangouts, update your google account, and then opt into a beta).

Basically - Hangouts did exactly this, but Google continues to act like Google, and shutter any product that might actually be a good foundation to build/maintain, since Google has shown AGAIN AND AGAIN that it can't actually maintain any product.

Google can innovate just fine - it's the follow through that they lack.
The fact fission is classified as green /might/ impact fusion's future classification, but who knows. I was listening to a podcast and a disillusioned engineer said "environmentalists favorite nuclear power plant is always one that doesn't exist, as soon as it's ready to be built it's ready to be protested".

Probably an instance of many groups under one label acting disparately, but I get the sentiment :/
The only reason we cannot have a single browser engine that everyone uses is governance and ownership.

That's the key problem with Chromium, it is largely under Google's thumb. If control of Chromium could be fairly split between Apple/Google/Microsoft/Mozilla/et al within a nonprofit, with no one party having ownership or override, Firefox could be Chromium based.

The thing a lot of people ignore is that having one OSS engine that everyone uses is the most efficient way for all parties. You just have to solve governance and ownership, which aren't technical problems (they're about power).

And, yes, standards would largely be dictated via this one monopoly-engine but again if governance and ownership were healthy that too wouldn't be problematic within itself (you could even include standards orgs/committees within the structure).

User choice would largely be the add-ins, unique settings, niche features, and UI (see Chrome Vs. Edge Vs. Brave, for example).
This is call a subsidy and will really mess up the internal labour market. Not sure it would be legal WTO rules.
Maven isn't random - it is described at https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to...

> Dependency mediation - this determines what version of an artifact will be chosen when multiple versions are encountered as dependencies. Maven picks the "nearest definition". That is, it uses the version of the closest dependency to your project in the tree of dependencies. You can always guarantee a version by declaring it explicitly in your project's POM. Note that if two dependency versions are at the same depth in the dependency tree, the first declaration wins.
I switched to Waterfox a few months ago after infamous Proton redesign. I love Firefox in principle but hate UI redesigns for the sake of "fresh" look without improvements in usability.

Waterfox based on Firefox but with an old school compact UI and privacy features turned on by default.
That's also a feedback loop though, that exists in part specifically because of how easy and common patent trolling has been. They have to have patents over stupid trivial things because if they don't register these someone else will, and then suddenly it's an even bigger waste of time and money for everyone involved.

There's a reason orgs like the Alliance for Open Media -- a Google-led initiative -- use licensing that explicitly grants you use of the patents owned by member orgs, but also explicitly revoke those if you sue any of them over a patent claim.
ITER will generate no power. No liquid-metal neutron-absorber "blanket", no steam piping, no turbines.

DEMO / PROTO will, if not cancelled, be absolutely monstrous, but generate no more power than a wee fission plant. Until they destroy themselves with their own neutron flux. (They should build them underground, so they will already be buried when it is time to abandon them.)

It is inconceivable that any such project will ever produce enough value to pay for the absurd level of capital investment and operational costs just to make them operate at all. Cost would radically exceed the same-capacity fission plant, and fission plants are already not competitive. All the while before ground is even broken to start building any, power generation cost is in free fall, with no bottom in sight.

ITER is an end even more dead than the AGR.
It's definitely a regional thing, but its been my experience not really. But there is undeniably growing resentment and possibility that transaction you used as an example could be less pleasant then it used to be. It's probably safe to say on average yes, by a lot? No. People aren't throwing hands in the street over normal discourse.
Are we really arguing over the validity of a brand new activist word coined to describe a culture where some reasonable percentage of said culture find it bothersome/offensive, and is likely never going to used by 97% of the culture because the predominant language they use is grammatically gendered?

This to me smacks of elitism and making the intention more important than the effect.

At the risk of being downvoted and called out for my potential biases, I don't really buy the 'last bastion of hope' argument re: FF. I spend most my day trying to create a competitive alternative to chrome.

Heres my main reasoning: I trust open source and the governance and operations around it. Chromium the engine is open-source licensed permissively, way more hackable than Firefox, and has a ton of organizations work on it actively (even more if you include derivative projects like CEF and Electron)

The web standards are still driven via committee, theres now just a much more reliable and stable reference implementation. The economic incentives are still largely there to be a relatively good open source custodian (forking is easy and probably a better place to start anyway). If anything it feels more Linux-like in that sense too (common compatible core with lots of room for forking/creating distros).

The anti-competitive practices are IMO things like Widevine and Google properties blocking non-whitelisted browsers, which we should be talking about. The chromium convergence doesn't quite feel the same to me.
I usually expect some relatively insignificant but highly maligned UI adjustment, like adding an extra pixel or two of padding or bouncing back and forth between rounded and square cornered tabs. After one of the more egregious changes awhile back I modified some thing (I don't even remember what it was anymore) and it's been fine since, but I still expect something to change every time.
Succinct and accurate.

Expecting moral courage from a big corporation is probably an exercise in inevitable disappointment though.
Are you using some operating system that doesn't have multi-user support by any chance? Otherwise, most modern operating systems allows you to have multiple users per machine, where their files are separated, so you could have one "normal" user you use for day-to-day, and one "streaming" user where you only do streaming from. That's how I make sure everything is separated for me when working VS streaming work (on Windows and Arch Linux, I'm 100% confident macOS has multi-user support as well)
Thanks for posting. The article and it the one it references don't even mention the patents themselves, which is... not exactly great journalism.

Yes. Letting your car warm up or idling unattended with the keys inside even if you lock the doors is specifically illegal in Minneapolis. It was made illegal specifically to curb car theft opportunities.
> Reluctance in gaining even a basic level of mastery in language skills goes to show you don't respect / value other people's time.

I am not sure how using 'comprises' instead of 'is comprised of' can be considered as reluctance in gaining a basic level of English.

> You want your readers to put in the extra effort required to make sense out of your half-baked messages.

How is the message half-baked just because one word in that whole paragraph was wrong?

> Asking people to use coherent English on an English language forum is a reasonable expectation. I wasn't making a value judgement on the thread OP. I hope this is clear (this is why reading comprehension is important too).

I perfectly understood what 'blocked_again' said despite English not being my first language. I am pretty sure normal humans can process these sentences without any problems. Now if we are talking about 'reading comprehension' for machines, it may be a different issue.

I ran your comment in Word's grammar checker. It suggested a couple of changes.

1. Change 'required' to 'needed' in "required to make sense".

Reason: Clarity. A simpler word would be clearer for your reader.

2. Change 'master' to 'proficiency' in "mastery in language skills".

Reason: Inclusiveness. A gender-neutral term here would be more inclusive.

3. Change 'wasn't' to 'was not' in "I wasn't making a".

Reason: Formality. In formal writing, try spelling out the word.

These are not "more complex details", it's using more words to say the same thing. It has nothing to do with implementation at all- just a group of speakers playing the same sound source can have their volume adjusted as a group. Given that, I wonder why the court decided that playing a sound on a group of speakers (the first part of your quote) is allowed, but changing the volume across the group is not. It seems quite arbitrary.

That is loaded question based on implicit assumption about what wages are 'fair' and what are 'exploitative'. But it is hard to claim that market rate accepted without coercion is not 'fair'.
That's the kind of thing you don't want to be "in-housed" because then you end up being stuck with in-house politics. Install your choice of ad-blocking extension and be thankful you have a choice.

Where did that quote come from?
In practice there's no fragmentation problem: you use tokio, and never think about async-std again (despite the name, async-std is not standard/official in any way). Everyone supports tokio, and there isn't anything unique to async-std that doesn't have a tokio alternative.

This state totally sucks for the authors of async-std who have an uphill battle getting traction in the tokio-dominated ecosystem, but from user perspective you can pretend the problem doesn't exist. Treat tokio as the standard library, as if it was hardcoded and you had no choice on the matter.
