That's an interesting interpretation. They also said that "they were damaging cars" and "they became aggressive".
Undetectable sometimes means less than 200 or less than 50 viral copies per ml (depending on device sensitivity). In contrast the peak in the acute phase is 10^7 copies per ml (and settles to around 10^5 in the chronic phase), the probability of transmission is infinitesimal. There are many studies following very high risk cohorts (sex workers, intravenous drug users, etc) that have been able to empirically confirm this.
You weren't goofing off, you were applying the scientific method while at the same time engaging in team building.

I'm not even kidding. That incidental silliness is valuable. A year later, you run across a problem where a customer explains a problem you don't understand, and then you have a flashback to that time when you did a blind taste test. You look at your colleague and whisper "Hey, remember that blind taste test we did that time?" and their eyes light up.

Your main hurdle is the driveline surviving the initial torque shock, so even with that 20sec power drop you still have the initial torque from a full battery as a risk.

Not at all unsolvable, you just want to consider it before you break your axles!
> How’s this different than piracy? The unspoken agreement...

Because movie and game studios don't rely on "unspoken agreements".

In most cases publishers don't even ask me to serve ads. They try to go behind my back by asking my browser. When my browser tells them "no", they still have the option to ask me. Some sites do, and I will either turn ads on or walk away without reading anything.

When the agreement becomes spoken it becomes an agreement. There's no agreement when there's no communication.
True.

Batteries, inverters etc are expensive.

Comparing a gas tank to EV batteries, the cost swings the other way unfortunately.
Never got an invite, lost interest. Apple's product seems just as good to me.
I wish them luck. As being one of a handful of people who have designed a scalable naming system that made it into production I can tell you that there are a lot of dragons there. A good start would be to look at the work done by the IETF on DNSSEC.

That said, as systems problems go, it is a really juicy one and brings a lot of understanding to all those who undertake it!
The title is slightly misleading. It would be more accurate to change "its own archives" to "its reruns of the old shows".

That's bad enough though. They are making "woke cuts" [1] to old shows, lest their viewers question the universality of cultural norms by being exposed to an unfiltered version of the past.

Sure, the unaltered versions are probably accessible somewhere, but that doesn't make what they doing "not censorship" and ok. It would be like saying that the Hogwarts Library wasn't censored because you could find the banned books in the Restricted Section or elsewhere. At least Hogwarts had the defence of being something of a high school.

We already have such a system. If you kill someone and it was an accident it is manslaughter. If you planned it ahead of time it is murder.

To the most part, intent is illegal not actions. Provable intent with the assumption that you are innocent until reasonably proven otherwise.
Yeah I think people overstate the IP of Actiblizz. I get it though, their old games were absolutely amazing and I basically spent my childhood playing those games to death, but modern gaming is so much bigger that the people who look at those old ips fondly are a small minority now, so there isn't really any nostalgia to cash in on. I remember on the news when they did a story on the merger, they called Actiblizz the studio that made Candy Crush. Candy Crush is their most salient IP. Similarly Gen z growing up on games like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft, even Actiblizz's Call of Duty, this demographic isn't going to go crazy for the next Starcraft or Warcraft, probably not even Diablo.

It is sort of like if Valve actually made Half Life 3 now, most gamers don't even know what Half Life is, let alone why Half Life 3 would be such a big deal outside of being a meme.
JerryRigEverything is converting an older US military Humvee to electric: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0vZL9uwyfOFezIOiBjkd...

tl;dw: It's much more involved than simply swapping the motor. You need to create a custom mounting bracket for the electric motor, you need batteries (used long-range 75 KwH Tesla batteries go for about $10k), you need a charging system, an electronic management system, and you need to find a way to power peripherals like A/C which are typically powered via a serpentine belt from an ICE.
No business is entitled to survive eternally on its existing business model. Businesses must adapt to changing market conditions if they want to succeed in the long term. And every business owner goes in with the understanding that success is not guaranteed.

Hopefully, your friend is keeping track of the increasing popularity of ad blocking and developing alternative sources of revenue to supplement their display ads. Affiliate links, sponsored articles, subscriptions for premium content, merchandise, and donations are common monetization pathways for websites.

Reading a website without loading or viewing the ads is not "stealing" or "theft", since the site owner voluntarily provided the content free of charge. If the site owner doesn't want people to read their content for free, they should charge for it. No viewer is obligated to load or consume all of the content provided in any medium, and a site owner has no inherent right to compel a visitor to spend time or attention on any part of the site.
Driven many cars with these “click” type shifters, including recent Volvos, thought I would hate it before trying but after one drive it’s actually very convenient and never saw it as a hazard.

You can’t press too hard to accidentally go the wrong direction. Up is R and down is D. Distinguishing up from down is very easy. Changing direction can only be done at standstill. Pressing too many times does nothing, except toggle D and B, that have same behavior from intent at parking point of view.

What might happen though is you thought you were in N but are actually in gear, as you accidentally clicked twice instead of once. But if you want to go N you should really just press P instead.
Same. I only found out through the app that I was in.
It is very valuable to be able to spot differences in definitions, so you can address them before moving on. If you feel like you are talking past eachother, that might be the issue causing it.

> If this is decentralized, what is its solution to Zooko's Trilemma?

I was going to say: Gnunet pet names aren't globally unique, therefore Gnunet gives up on having the human-meaningful addresses be globally unique. However, from your link it appears that there is no requirement in Zooko's Triangle for those human-meaningful addresses to be globally unique. So it doesn't actually give up anything:

1. Pet names are human meaningful (though not globally unique). Check.

2. Public keys are secure (and in the typical cases globally unique, btw). Check.

3. Gnunet zones are decentralized. Check.

There you go. Triangle drawn.

AFAICT Gnunet punts the names down to the user in a similar way to how Convergence punted CA choice down to the user. In both cases the user chooses which entity or entities to trust, being more or less strict in what to do if those entities disagree based on some predetermined criteria.

In reality, however, I remember that Google balked at adopting Convergence because it seemed likely that most would have eventually just standardized on delegating their own choice of "decentralized" CA to Google. Then you'd end up with an ostensible decentralized set of authorities where that set is simply { Google } for the vast majority of users.

I don't see any mechanism in Gnunet that would avoid a similar fate. Especially given that the examples given in the current docs are so goddamned confusing and convoluted that a tempting workaround would be "Step 1. Just set Google as your thingy." I offer into evidence exhibit one: Gmail.

"Still - can't figure out what the project does and what would be the practical application for it."

It is a computer network, like the internet. As a computer network, the practical application for it is similar to practical application for the internet.^1 One of its advantages over the internet is that users control their own IP addresses, not ISPs, and peer-to-peer connectivity is made easier. There is also no need for the use of TLS and all the third parties that profit as email/web gatekeepers. A peer-to-peer network offers an escape from an internet and web full of self-appointed third party middlemen, e.g., RIRs, ICANN, "tech" companies, certificate authorities, etc., who exploit their position for profit.

He’s certainly welcome to bar adblock-users from his site. That’s technically possible, if his CPU time is so valuable. Same as a drive-in theater keeps out people who don’t pay.

But he’s not requiring ads. He’s requesting that people choose to watch them. Those ads are insultingly intrusive and obnoxious, and we are saying “no”, per our right to use our computers as we see fit. Huffing about how terrible it is that people are refusing to subject themselves to that garbage won’t accomplish anything. I’d say a better solution would be to identify monetization approaches that aren’t repellent.

Disincentivizing bad ideas is how progress is made. That’s just how a free market works. If treating his users badly is turning out to be unprofitable for him, I would classify that as a feature, not a bug.

I don't know about the GP, but if I interviewed you I would see that as a strong point in favour of you. It sounds like you proof read your emails and edit the things that aren't well composed. It's hard to find people who do that.

Then again, maybe I'm biased because I write the same sentence multiple times in quick succession. And I go back and re-write previous sentences if they don't flow well with what's coming next. But when people have watched me do it, they have only expressed wonder and admiration over it, never negative feelings.

What doesn't work is when someone starts verbally editing my first draft the instant I've typed it out. Yes, I know it's bad -- it's the first draft. I just needed to get something on the page to see where I should go next.

> content providers are free to stop providing content at any time

There's a fundamental lack of morality in a philosophy that does not recognize and respect property. You know that you are interfering with the ability of a site owner and their employees earing money for their product. You know this well. This is what ad blockers do. And yet, as a result of the principles you purport to uphold, rather than choosing NOT to consume their product as a demonstration of your commitment, you take it and interfere with their business.

You can jump around as many hoops as you wish in trying to justify this. The bottom line is that you claim to have principles and yet behave exactly as if you had none. People work to provide you with valuable content and services and you take it for nothing.

This isn't an argument about Netflix or some other streaming service. This is about taking from others while actually promoting a complete negation of revenue. If your ad-blocking utopia comes to pass, none of these sites will have income. So, you'll take and take and take, until you kill them.

The only people who say things like what you and many have said on this thread are those who have never started, run and managed a non-trivial business. Being responsible for payroll makes you learn things you can learn in no other way.

When I see a business, a site, I see the people behind it. After all, we are likely not talking about junk sites and content farms here.

I am sure you are not using an ad blocker just so you can visit that wonderful content farm you love to frequent. No, you are using ad blockers on sites that actually deliver valuable content and services to you. Content and services that, precisely because they are valuable, time, money and take effort to create, support and maintain. You know they use ads to finance the operation, and you block them. That is a morally putrid position to take and even worse to work so hard to justify.

Neural Approximation of Extended Persistent Homology on Graphs
Your statement about the toxicology of methanol is correct, but as the article alludes too, and the referenced paper goes into detail on, the dosage is below the point where it harms people. (I don't recall off hand if they considered an infant being fed an entire can of soda in the paper so I'm not going to say that as a blanket statement)

As for the toxicology limit. If the maximum amount of methanol has been created by all of the aspartame "unzipping" even if you consumed the whole can your does will be lower than the amount needed to create harmful effects. Additionally, sodas in this state taste like crap, so unless you have no taste sensors at all you won't drink more than a gulp which lowers the dosage still further.

But that there can be methanol in an out of date soda has been the go to reason a friend of mine never drinks sugar free soda. And frankly I can respect that choice.
I learned exactly thanks to this that the concept of "fairness" doesn't exist when discussing salaries, and it's all up to the market which is moral-less:

If two people are doing the same job and giving the company $X profit, it's only fair that they are being paid the same regardless of where they live. Think optimizing a marketing campaign that changes monthly revenue from $10M to $30M, both people should be compensated similarly since they are bringing the same profit to the company.

But also if two people are doing the same job, it's fair they are compensated the same amount of $, regardless of whether one produces $X and another $Y depending on the company situation or their cost of living. Think optimizing the same program to run in 0.1s instead of 1s, assuming everything is the same, for Google that's worth millions but for your neighbor it's worth hundreds of $, but both are gonna pay you 10h * your hourly rate.

Those two examples are vastly incompatible; companies will of course insist that they pay you based on your expenses, while workers based on how they help the company, but in the end there's a contradiction, and since they cannot both be right they must both be wrong. The "right" solution is that they'll pay you based on the market, how much they think you are worth, your experience, your negotiating abilities, etc.
So many things are monitored on a Tesla, it would be interesting to see if there would be any consequences from a black box style recording where you could see that someone crashed 1s after pressing the screen struggling to find the demister.

This story highlights the value of putting yourself in the mindset and perspective of the "other" that you disagree with, to see things their way, for your own benefit.

The entire Tim Ferris podcast episode (from which the quoted story was told - https://tim.blog/2021/09/09/sheila-heen/ ) is good, and brought to mind an EconTalk podcast episode that explores how seeing and doing things in the interest of others is many times in one's own best interest in the long run:

Taiwan wafer company takeover collapses after Germany withholds approval
I have used such service for some 20 years. It's called sneakemail.com (paid service) It's great. I have several hundreds of addresses, and only a dozen or so I had to close because they started to produce spam. Interesting enough most of them pretty renowned businesses from the days when privacy policies did not exist.

The nasty thing is that an increasing number of businesses block such onetime addresses (there are lists on github). Linux Foundation a prominent offender. They send me their marketing BS, but I cannot unsubscribe because "my address is invalid". My bank is a recent addition. They still send me email, but several functions in my online banking don't work because I have to "confirm" my email first and the one they have on file and works is not accepted.

I hope such services would be widely used that no serious business can afford to block them.
If I knew my boss was going to push me for details, it would just eat up more of my time during the week coming up with some believable horseshit to get me through the meeting. 1:1 meetings work when there is a point to them, like when you're in an environment where you need assistance from your manager to get help or resources from your org.
I am a great skim reader. I can bluff my way through a meeting with a glance at the slides and agenda. Right up until my stunning knowledge, evidenced by my wise nodding and "yes, yes" responses is actually tested in a fact: Did I actually read? No. Did I comprehend? No.

Some people can handle it. Some people don't notice it. Several of my peers are bringing me up short on it, and "did you actually read what I said" is one of the blunt, but useful things which can be asked sometimes.

Skim reading is death to comprehension. The other side of the coin is that I can re-read fiction for decades, multiple decades, and enjoy it afresh every time. Oh my god, she was HIS MOTHER. Next year: WHAT? SHE DIED? Next year: WAIT, ITS SATIRE.. Next year: ... rinse and repeat.

Paul Vixie buried a "give me your firstborn" in an IETF draft and surprised all the "I have read this draft" microphone queue people with an aha moment pointing out what they'd missed. It hasn't changed behaviour at IETF that I can see.

As far as I can tell I've always been this way. I want to blame lack of attention on digital media but TBH as a 60yo I've been aware of this tendency for a long time, probably most of my conscious life.

Reading carefully can be tedious. Oddly, listening might be better. Audio books might actually have a role, for ingestion of the facts. Mind you, not at 2x speed. I've done that for AI transcription correction and its a brainfuck.
