Elaborate? I have dnt turned on and am using incognito tabs? Still not good enough?
I’ve been using PopOS recently. There’s a tiling window manager built in that seems to have a bunch of functionality (resizing, moving to diff frame etc).

They’re already mapped to certain hot keys but i imagine you can configure it to your liking.
this is great. to block this shit it's now just necessary to disable the "tag container" instead of tracking hundreds of javascript / URLs.
It is. Election Day is codified in the Constitution, and has been for centuries. Tax Day, in order to give people enough time, has to be a few months after the new year. No conspiracy. Having Tax Day in, say, October doesn’t make sense.

History is full of sentiments like that, from power structures that were never able to stop subversion. The game itself is perpetual, so there's always another turn coming.
Ask HN: Messed up visas – work a notice period?
Using a throwaway account. I just realized I’m unable to work remotely in the US on my visa without getting EAD first. I’ve been working for 6 months for a company remotely with pay going into a foreign account and taxes paid in my home country. I wish to find work in the US soon so wanted to get my EAD and then realized the mistake. Therefore, I will need to quit my job. My question is should I risk my visa by working a 1 month notice period or risk my reputation by explaining the situation with a 1 day notice period? What would you do?
>"Hey, let's run an ad admitting the world sucks, in part due to companies like us, but you can escape that reality if you put our headset on."

Indeed and this seems to be consistent with their past messaging that "the answer to Facebook problems is more Facebook."
> Except none of my peers did it

That's a good point. I still remember how excited I was writing my first app in BASIC at school:

What is your name?
> John
Hello John!

I was so excited I tried to copy the program on a floppy disk to play with at home but I could not figure out why it didn't work. I now realize the school used Apple II's and my parents had a PC at home.

I've always thought because today's generation grew up with smart phones, tablets, and ultra realistic games no one would be interested in getting started with coding. But reading your comment I realize the whole school was exposed to the same class and very few of my classmates would go on to major in CS.
I think that's true, but the interview process for a SWE is (I think) unusually rigorous. I'm often surprised when I talk to my friends in other fields who get hired after 1-2 hours of get-to-know-you interviews. Meanwhile, almost every SWE job has 4-6 hours of technical evaluation proctored by the incumbents. It's true that if someone has done 12+ years of college, med school, and residency, you can trust a little more on their resume, but I've also turned down SWE candidates with impressive sounding pedigrees after seeing them bomb simple exercises.

Maybe we've figured out how to haze our way to exclusivity without centralized gatekeepers?
The server-side "analytics" of 20 years ago was for aggregate reports on popular pages, number of users, their browsers and OSs and maybe their geo-location; solely for the use of the site owners to optimize and whatnot.

This abomination Google is proposing is unblockable cross-site tracking of people's activities. That site owners get to see some of that data too is insignificant, their value comes from being able to track people across the web. I'd bet Google would even offer this proxy service "for free" depending on how much data they can hoover from the site.
Not so sure about post-production rendering, if anything movies are moving to real-time rendered CGI environments [1]. Unreal/Epic have been a big player in this space.

I agree with your point about not blaming teachers for factors beyond their control, but let's not forget that when students spend most of their lives at school, teachers can play a big role in fostering a positive learning culture.

A child raised by American parents who attends a school in Japan (where students are expected to, for example, clean their own classrooms) will have a dramatically different experience than if they attend an American school.
This framing of "cheapening out" or "The US and other wealthy countries" is a little bit behind the curve. Tech talent physically moves frong HK to the mainland nowadays, The salaries in some Eastern European countries are higher than in Portugal or Spain.

It's not cheapening out as much as it is diversification at this point, and give it another generation and it'll simply be people having the choice to work anywhere in the world.

Companies don't just 'outsource' any more but primary want a presence and access to incredibly large markets with domestic talent.
> Just calling every genetic screening designed to prevent actual suffering eugenics is pretty nonsensical.

It’s also not wrong, if we’re being totally honest.

Things are either eu (beneficial) or dys (harmful) genic.

The bottom 75% of the IQ curve has been poisoned against the word “eugenics” to the point that they can’t even have a basic conversation about things as sane as “genetic screening for debilitating illness” without completely breaking down.
I think the point about most people not choosing anonymity at all is a bit misleading. It assumes that these people are making a reason, informed choice, and going ahead and living the way they do. I don't think that's the case.

Most "normal" people, and even many tech people, don't know what companies like Google and Facebook are capable of. If you showed someone exactly what information of theirs was collected, for how long, the predictions they could make with it,and god knows what else is being done with it, I think many people would change their behavior. But they don't know, and this is not an accident.

Most people do not even know what the business model of Facebook and Google are. If you ask, they'd probably say something like "oh they're an email company" or "they help me share photos of my grand kids" or god-forbid, they're "helping connect people connect". Both are surveillance-based, personal information-driven ad companies. That's it. No amount of Google X or Android or Gmail or Libra or FB Live or any other program will change what their business is. And they will never, ever admit to this.
> Additionally, YARP is cross-platform capable, so you can run the same proxy on Linux, macOS, and Windows. NGINX doesn’t even provide that, for example

nginx runs on all three of those platforms. If you mean the binary, this is surely misleading as you just move the burden from getting your platform specific binary to your platform specific .net runtime.
I've been hearing op topics, exact things more or less, in differen shapes or forms for over 3 decades. And yet here we are.
That really depends on where you went to school. The "in" crowd at my school were some of the smartest kids. My best friend from college was scolded by his peers for "acting white" when he tried hard growing up.

Pop culture stereotypes kids who try hard as "nerds", but I don't really think it is a terribly accurate reflection of reality; post-secondary education attainment is as high as ever, so unless you are determined to do unskilled labor or run in a gang, you are more likely to try than not.
I use syncthing to sync many (probably too many) files. I use a shared directory structure between my desktop and laptop and then use my phone as a middleman since I never have my desktop and laptop on at the same time so I need a third device to sync with. It works REALLY well and I rarely have to ever think about it.
Perhaps "delayed password authorization" is better than "passwordless" here since the magic code the user is getting via e-mail just becomes their (auto-rotating) password.
California just opened up, and its like a vacation...butI'm sure its not all over yet.
Ooooh. I'd love to see photos of your shelves! Could you share them.
They’re not using mRNA. They are using a viral vector that contains DNA.
Slight nit, real time systems are designed for a maximum worst case latency within some spec, not minimum latency. You can make a system that has a lower best case latency but that doesn't matter if the worst case causes a missed deadline.

And in the context of real time systems, a missed deadline is either equivalent to a catastrophic error (hard real time) or really terrible but non catastrophic error (soft real time). Soft real time applications like audio (no one dies because of a buffer underrun) can sacrifice the maximum worst case for better average case, because the worst case depends on load and can be worked around. Hard real time cares a lot more about the maximum worst case, like say a CNC machine where missing a deadline can cause a mechanical failure and break the part.
> As to the crashing: the app _might_ do all kinds of shenanigans to make it through the app store approval process. Things I can think of are that it may work fine with tracking disabled until a given date, or when used within Apple’s IP address range, or when in Cupertino, or if a remote call it makes tells it so, or when some server or DNS entry exists or does not exist.

Just like Volkswagen did. Short of providing Apple your code and then perusing through it each time (which isn’t feasible), they can’t catch everything.

Now, a featured app? They really messed up here.
> 3BR houses in the exurbs with pools

People with kids who move from the city to the suburbs/exurbs are doing their kids a disservice (all else equal; obviously there are some compensating advantages in moving from say a 1-bedroom apartment to a 3-bedroom house on a large lot). The kids generally end up dependent, immobile, and isolated.

Land is certainly much cheaper though, and a lot of the material waste involved is subsidized by the federal government or borrowed from future local taxpayers, and there is no price put on a wide range of negative externalities. Sustainably and accurately pricing the full range of costs and harms from suburbia would render it unaffordable for most.

Unfortunately national, state, and local policy in the USA is substantially organized around entrenching and extending car dependency. The places where people can easily live without cars tend to have high housing prices and generally higher cost of living. In other parts of the world, there is not such a steep price premium for housing density and walkable neighborhoods.
> that proponents of equality are going to have to deal with

We both know that will never happen. They’ll never “deal with” the flaws in their religion, they’ll just ignore it like all the others do.
Google tag manager in my experience is a script executed by the browser. Then it installs itself in the page and performs the inner payload of user script insertions. It’s a Trojan horse, really. You can block Google tag manager’s embed scripts. I wasn’t aware of a backend integration but it’s certainly possible.

Regardless, I use a DNS based ad blocker (pihole) and it takes care of all this stuff. I occasionally need to turn it off or whitelist domains (like Google tag manager) for client work, but normally I have it blocked.
Don't forget about ad-served malware
In 2007 Google achieved carbon neutrality. I think that's the carbon offsets you mention.

In 2017 Google matched 100% of power usage with renewable energy. So that's not buying carbon offsets, that's buying renewable energy, although AIUI, due to temporal and spatial limitations, it can't be used 100% of the time and in certain situations gets resold as non-clean while the actual datacenter uses non-clean energy.

Google has committed to use actually clean power 100% of the time by 2030.

Full disclosure I work at Google.

It's fun! I'd love to see some sort of more obvious feedback when you're wrong.

Also, why aren't more people sharing photos? Bookshelfporn is a thing.
> Google tag manager in my experience is a script executed by the browser.

Isn't the whole point of this new change that it runs server-side, using a proxy that you install on the website so it uses the same domain?

> Regardless, I use a DNS based ad blocker

But it's the same domain name isn't it?

Regardless of whatever trends exist now, every programmer must spare a thought about their future. Ageism is common in this industry. No matter how great a programmer you are, you will be eventually discriminated. And this area of work is notoriously famous for giving people age related diseases.

If you have a gravy train going for you. Ensure you plan your retirement well, take care of your diet, exercise and relationships.

Nothing really lasts forever, even if does for a community, individuals always run out of luck. Instead of thinking of yourself as a superman, imagining yourself as a mortal with limited resources, time and luck will have you better placed for the future.

YMMV.

I think Searle's Chinese room argument is absolutely nonsensical, a bit like arguing about philosophical zombies. It's an argument that only makes any sense if you already are committed to mysticism or dualism.
It's a fine suggestion. If it breaks the site, then I'd call that a broken website and move on. Maybe next time someone points me there, they'll have fixed their critical issue for users who block tracking proxies.

I'm okay with not being in the target audience of sites that really want to do this. I've got enough other things to do at less hostile places that my FOMO isn't triggered in the least.
> By default, I don't run JavaScript. I don't see blocking JS as a problem - in fact, it's a blessing as the web is blinding fast without it - and also most of the ads just simply disappear if JS is not running.

Years ago I was on the "people who block JavaScript are crazy" bandwagon, until just loading a single news article online meant waiting for a dozen ads and autoplaying videos to load. I spent more time waiting for things to finish loading than I spent browsing the actual sites, which killed my battery life. I'd get a couple of hours of battery life with JS on, and with it off, I could work all day on a single charge. It was nice.

Ever since then, I've been using NoScript without a problem. I've spent all of maybe 5 minutes, cumulative over the course of several years, clicking a single button to add domains to the whitelist. If whitelisting isn't something you want to do, you can use NoScript's blacklist mode, too.

> I'm now so spoilt by the advantages of the non-JS world that I don't think I could ever return. I'm always acutely reminded of the fact whenever I use someone else's machine.

I relate with this 100%.
Pyright – Static type checker for Python
Discussion from this paper:

"Although BA.2 is considered as an Omicron variant, its genomic sequence is heavily different from BA.1, which suggests that the virological characteristics of BA.2 is different from that of BA.1. Here, we elucidated the virological characteristics of BA.2, such as its higher effective reproduction number, higher fusogenicity, higher pathogenicity when compared to BA.1. Moreover, we demonstrated that BA.2 is resistant to the BA.1-induced humoral immunity. Our data indicate that BA.2 is virologically different from BA.1 and raise a proposal that BA.2 should be given a letter of the Greek alphabet and be distinguished from BA.1, a commonly recognized Omicron variant."
Well it sounds like they're plugging the RCE hole in how ads operate which is even better. That's the real elephant in the room which no one seems to be talking about. With all these zero click exploits I don't want an entire industry to exist that's dedicated to people bidding to run code on my computer. If all that bloat is running somewhere else in the cloud and this tag manager is filtering the information they access so that it's actually just boring marketing analytics then I'd imagine it does a lot to help improve the sovereignty of personal spaces.
Adding Schnorr's Blind Signatures to GNU Taler
This was my middle school experience. Teachers gossiped like crazy, and if one took a dislike to you, you became branded. I had my own issues at the time, but man I hated that school.

Fast forward to high school, and life totally turned around. Motivation, attainment and having a teacher believe in you are all closely tied together.
This. I use the no script addon by default, and it’s amazing how many different domains sites try to bring in. Then I hit Twitter, imgurl, quora, etc and I am left with nothing but a blank page with plain text telling me that I need JavaScript to view the site. It makes me wonder what kind of tracking they are pushing.
Just block the GTM js from loading, it'll stop it easily.
Surely in your own life you've had teachers that really stood out? Ones that made learning especially fun or effortless? Who are good at showing you how the knowledge can be useful in the real world?

A lot of people seem to have this idea that there's no such thing as a bad teacher (especially when that teacher has a PhD), but to accept that you must also accept that there's no such thing as a good teacher either. All that matters is showing up to class, no matter how the teacher chooses to present the material?
18 is awfully old to start learning something for the first time. Imagine saying the same thing about math, reading, or history. It's harder to pick things up when you're older, and it leaves fewer people capable of it. See also: learning human languages.
> there are 2 of them

Do you have a phone (doesn't have to be one you're using)? At least on android, you can install syncthing and use it as a middleman. I use emacs org mode for many of my notes and this system works well. My computers are NEVER online at the same time but the phone is always on so it will always be up-to-date with the latest files. It also serves as another backup location. Works wonders.

For a sealed product that the end user didn’t even have a tool to open.
Time is rarely the limiting factor in achieving goals. The vast majority of us kill time with time sinks like playing on our phone or watching TV series - none of which are likely to be life goals.

Instead optimizing for putting productive energy towards real goals and avoiding menial tasks that at best save some time seems like a more optimal strategy.
How do you identify tracking proxies though? When everything is going through the same domain you don't even know if data is being sent to Google, it's all a server-side black box.
> Being even 50%-ile among professionals for either would certainly be extremely impressive.

I think you'd be surprised at how low the bar is. And how people either 1) don't care about actively improving or 2) don't effectively learn from their mistakes. For a lot of people their career is just a way to get paid. As long as they don't get fired that's enough for them. And for other people they never developed a growth mindset and a habit of introspection, or they treat mistakes/failure as a painful memory to be avoided rather than something to be learned from.

I had the exact same thought! More was also re-licensed as the music video for the song "Hell bent" by Kenna, to (in my opinion) greater emotional effect: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5mmgow

It was played a fair bit on MTV2 late at night in the early aughts. It's entirely possible this Super Bowl commercial was made by someone who saw that video 20 years ago. A deeply depressing dystopian vision.
well not sure is it good or bad.
True. The problem is that when ratios are 1:30 (teacher:student) or sometimes even higher, it is hard for teachers to influence individual kids rather than spending all their time playing fire-fighter to a handful of problem students (often with pre-existing issues from home).

Does it really matter that it's resistant to BA.1 induced humoral immunity?

From the BA.1 variant we learned that cell mediated immunity is more important to end the pandemic.

The media got very loud that the 4th vaccine doesn't help to stop people from getting sick, but it required a month more data to see that it is worth to be injected to decrease the probability of serious illness / death.
If the kid's time were a limitless, free resource, and they also weren't subject to any stigma from repeating a grade, or any negative effect from being taken away from their age cohort a.k.a. "friends," then sure why not?
“DNT” is a bad joke, always was, just so you know. It just adds a header to your requests asking nicely not to be tracked.

If anything it probably acts as a datapoint on fingerprinting and actually helps to track you.
