> the second essential condition that marketing departments act ethically

This seems like a pretty strong assumption, given that both an engrained culture, lived experience, and an analysis of the different parties' incentives stand against this.

Until we have strong (and crucially, really enforced) legislation against this, I'd say technical means (blocking JS mostly) will be the only thing I'd be willing to bet on.
So ETIAS is like ESTA but the other way around? Seems good to me.
Hocam?
i used to have javascript turned off for a long time, but i've given up. you can't even search hacker news without javascript (for some reason).
YARP was not a self motivated product. Engineering groups within Microsoft asked the .NET group to help them with their custom (.NET) reverse proxies. And the .NET group added it to their portfolio.

So you are right, it is a very specialized situation, but the key stakeholders who asked, contributed and collaborated with the .NET group are exactly these engineers who previously did a DIY solution.
> Casting his own daughter when I think, Winona Ryder, dropped out was very nepotistic; and she’s a better director than actress.

While I'll agree Sofia is a much better director than actress (she’s a truly outstanding writer and director) and that Ryder would have been better (Coppola later did work with her on Bram Stoker's Dracula), I’m not going to be mad at him casting his daughter or even blaming it on nepotism. After all, all the previous examples of nepotism, like working with his father, his sister, his brother-in-law, his nephew, etc worked out quite well. Like, the whole Coppola family thing is that they all work together and hire each other. She wasn’t a great actress, but I don’t think she’s want sunk that film. The truth is, any film in a series coming 15 years after two of the greatest films of all time (and the rare sequel that is arguably better than the original, which was already a masterpiece) would have an impossible standard to live up to. Even if Godfather III was a perfect film, I’m not sure it could live up to the hype that the first two carried, especially after 15 years.

And it wasn’t a perfect film. It’s not a piece of garbage but it isn’t in the same league as the other two, which again, are two of the absolute greatest films of all time. But seeing how successful nepotism has been for the Coppola family, I think blaming his teenage daughter is fairly weak.
This is actually the 2nd brain gene therapy research I've seen.

In the Phase I trial below, injecting telomerase and klotho AV vectors into CNS/brain was safe and it improved cognitive scores of 5 dementia patients after 1 yr follow up.

This space will hopefully get very big. Mice lifespans were extended 25-40% (massive!) through similar techniques. See Dr George Church Gene Therapy for more.
It sounds like a tit for tat response to ESTA, to be honest. I’m not really convinced either (as a European).
Is there any way to tell exactly what was actually paid for with these funds?
I mean, Americans haven't realised yet, I doubt that will change.
Does the US border check still want all of your social media accounts and a scan of your phone and laptop contents? I've maintained US on my list of countries that I do not want to visit because they seem to want all of my personal data just to get into the country.
No. Foreign nationals from countries (including most of Europe) that normally have access to the US through the Visa Waiver Program and ESTA lose that access if they visit Iran or a few other countries. They thereafter need to go through the full US visa application process if they want to go to the US.
Couldn't you still recognize the script by its content?
If the standard deployment will be a separate IP in the same range (Google cloud) which is also bound to a subdomain of the site I’m viewing, isn’t that an easily identifiable situation? Couldn’t blockers like unlock just block the subdomain.site.com for every site.com? Or even block all subdomain calls to Google hosts?
I hope we have sense to demand the devices and account passwords at the border. Just to ensure are critical data can be harvested from these potential terrorists.
I think they mean that going to Iran voids their eligibility to travel to America in the future without a visa.
Dune is such a movie and yet Villeneuve basically had to beg and wait for the studio to greenlight Part II. This should have been shot back to back as it's simply an unfinished film in its current form.
There's only been two places so far where I have had to provide my biometric data at the border: Cambodia and the United States.
They are also airport-less, making it ... challenging to visit them without going through those neighboring countries.
Another factor I'd want to add is the impressive destruction of multi-generational households and even relationships. It has cemented loneliness in the old and lack of family values and destructive behavior in the young especially when both parents are working.
I get privacy concerns and hate for ads, but what about "free" internet? Paywalls are a massive annoyance to me personally, and if ads were legislatively blocked, would I have to pay for each website I visit that previously relied on ads for $? Perhaps we could be making micro-transactions for each website visited via crypto (?)
I think you need a visa to go to the US if you've been to Iran.

What about digital paper[1]?

Basically paper with a patten on it that can be read by a camera in the pen. The pen can then transmit that to your main computer.

It’s not new tech but it is pretty cheap and solves the scanning issue.

Moleskine[2] amongst others sell something like that but ther non-premium paper is available too.

I think UK social services used to use them at one time. Much cheaper and less likely to be stolen than a tablet.

If they want to visit the US with a Iranian stamp on their passport.
Yeah - whatever language they chose it would be "only available for [that] ecosystem." At some point you've got to pick your home, not like you can write a 100% cross-language framework for anything.

2002 was 20 years ago. I would consider Windows 2000 fairly vintage.
The automated version doesn’t have a human in the loop that can spot problems, errors etc either.
Monaco isn't landlocked though.
If Europeans had some power on the immigration decisions of the US it would be stupid to make it worse for others when you could just accept it to be worse only for yourself.

On the other hand, a lot of people that have never experienced something do not even realize that that problem even exists or is real. Maybe experiencing a little bit of difficulty will enrich the vision of those.

Still, I think the point should be that with this pre-approvals you have end up with an easier immigration process and less worries for both sides (less time at immigration and not being turned down in the last moment).
If you have an Iranian passport stamp, I would expect very pointed questions at US immigration. I can't find a specific citation that says you need a visa if you've been to Iran, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
It’s written in C#, probably because they use a bunch of C# internally for this sort of project (who’da thunk it?). That naturally restricts the project to .NET environments.

That line could easily have read “for building fast proxy servers in the JVM” or “for building fast proxy servers in node.js” or whatever else, and it would’ve still been just as restrictive.
I bet %95 of the people who do Ski jumping are THAT GOOD because they are already an elite subset of the population. That is probably true for all the professional athletes.

As a result, athletes mostly compete on the higher end where everyone is very good and all the hard work they put in barely moves the needle due to the law of diminishing returns.

My point is, the percentile is likely to be defined around how hard or easy it is to reach the point where putting in effort starts yielding less and less of returns.
Haha I still remember the first time I pulled out my G2 in a pub to settle an argument. It was ironically in a pub with poor reception (even by those days standards) so by the time the page loaded, which I think was just Wikipedia, the conversation had already moved on.

Despite the lack of success that afternoon, I still remember that feeling of how significant a game changer these new fangled devices could be.
The flip side though is that you are likely to feel more pressure to accumulate enough wealth in order to leave something behind for your children. Personally I have to shake off this instinct that I should take the more stable career choice rather than the interesting one.
I guess aside from those, countries in Europe that are probably not requiring ETIAS, Great Britain of course, Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia - the countries that once comprised Macedonia. So I guess if you can get to those countries without passing through EU you're ok? Just a guess though.

It was renewed within a month of release.

This is a franchise where individual movies cost $150m+ to make. I can see why a studio wouldn't be willing to greenlight all of it at one go, especially given how the previous adaptation attempt at the same franchise was not received well.
Fred Brooks' classic "No Silver Bullet" outlines this fundamental principle of software engineering physics. Written in 1986, the paper has its own wikipedia page:

I think it's the code library. You import stuff and use it right away, without needing to know 99% of the internal details. That has empowered us to do amazing things quickly. But having to deal with 100,000 libraries has become its own problem.
If it takes maintaining blocking scripts for individual websites, I'm pretty sure services will spring up to crowd source it.
I think it either operates as a traditional (heavily customizable) reverse proxy OR you have a app and forwards x% of your API surface to second tier services.

Imho: no in-procees reverse proxying. That should not make sense.
I’ve been around Digital Nomads for a long time and I’ve been working digitally and remotely for periods of time most of my life.

The sense of eradication Nomads are looking for can bite you back quite bad. This is something seldom discussed in DN circles, especially by hyper-positive (or toxic positive) digital Bromads of the “I dropship therefore I’m an Internet Entrepreneur” variety.
Digital Nomadism is also very often a form of postcolonial and Western privilege. A lot of DN-targeted content focuses on the individual radical choice of going against the
typical societal expectations (settle down, get a house, own stuff). What they mostly miss is how this choice is made possible by the inequalities between the West and the rest of the world.

That said, I still regard Digital Nomadism as a positive movement that could benefit from a bit more self-criticism.

I used to love these PDAs. I had an Acer N30, but at the time, these devices couldn't do that much.

I guess the relative unpopularity was given the fact that wifi or 4G wasn't ubiquitous, like it is nowadays. But oh boy did I love searching random little games for that thing and playing around with it.

> From what I remember Bill Gates is on track to spend almost all of it.

Is he? He's wealthier than he has ever been.

> I've always found the idea that billionaire wealth isnt "real" because liquidating it all simultaneously is impractical to be unconvincing in the extreme, verging on dishonest.

Of course it's real. My point is that it isn't really as much wealth as people make it out to me. Much of it is simply a consequence of the mega-rich already having everything they want. Therefore, it requires a lot of goods and services to "buy" the wealth of the mega-rich.

> Politicians are not actually restrained by taxation as decades of persistent deficits prove.

Of course they're restrained. They're just choosing to stretch these restraints as much as they can. If they raise more in taxes, they can delay the eventual problems that arise from our deficit.

> I think it's clear that inflationary pressures in housing and asset markets is off the scale.

I'd agree that we can use a land value tax and higher capital gains tax, but that's not what the Democrats seem to want. Instead, they'd rather punish the productive upper-middle class with higher income taxes (admittedly, this where I am). Meanwhile Prop 18 is going strong in California, and NYC's most expensive apartments have the lowest property taxes as well.
How to Win Arguments with Stupid, Stubborn People
Marketing is almost by definition not going to act ethically: their whole goal is to create a need where there isn't an organic one, and the KPIs by which marketing departments are run are proof positive of that. Nobody starts off with 'what would be the natural limit of our product sales', instead they start off with 'what is the total addressable market and how do we maximize our fraction of that' implying that if you are counted in their market that you are fair game whether you like it or not.
I'll see your bikeshed and raise you a yak shave. Sometimes I just need to be "good enough" at something because it's not my ultimate goal (aka the thing I want to accomplish or be good at).
Part of the job of lawmakers is, intriguingly enough, deciding what’s good for voters. This would be among those things. Would voters vote for this specific law? Probably not. But they probably wouldn’t vote out the representatives who wrote it either. And arguably privacy needs to be protected for the good of society.
I always wondered why they didn't just do this in the first place. Despite having that much power Google always seemed oddly tolerant towards content blockers even when they were directly a slap on the face of their main offerings. Spoofing ads to act as first-party content through proxies was something I thought they were perfectly capable of making websites do with their existing behemoth network infrastructure. Surprising it actually took so long.
> GTM is still GTM and can be trivially blocked; the container itself isn't moving server-side.

Not when the script sending data to the server side GTM is a first party one.
Because it would be fewer hundreds, and therefore you would need more and it might even be more power overall.
Ok, so, The Great Race 2023 a sporting program where competitors try to get into as many of these non-schengen countries in Europe without requiring ETIAS to do so.

Can one balloon across a country without requiring a passport?
is the purpose of the post = agreeing with you?
Hm, well none of any of that would be additionally required for this new program, and I'd be willing to wager EU law prohibits the collection of social media account information.
The client won't be able to distinguish between ads and actual content on the website if both come from the same source.

One of the cases where at least in Germany you can get a second passport without problems. Another example would be travel to Israel and Arabian countries.
What part of Fortnite doesn't fit that definition? It's definitely focused on Social Connection - It's multiplayer only, and while you can drop solo, all of the features are around interacting with your friends or bragging to your opponents. It is not just one 3d world, there are many game modes that are accessible through a virtual lobby.

Is it lacking VR integration? It's already playable on many VR headsets as a cinema experience, but that is truthfully no the primary experience. It seems only a matter of time, though, as Epic has already teased and announced a number of VR projects and tooling for their engine.
Palm Springs on November 9th. You won't be disappointed.
Nothing that I would attribute to the dream itself. I usually have very vivid dreams with internal consistency and story lines (which I’ve learned over the years is very unusual). So that kind of dream is very unusual for me. I turn my dreams into short stories under a pen name. I’ve published a couple on my blog.

Seems like clear case of "crossing the river to collect water" (as the Swedish saying says)? This is what I use uBlock Origin (with the right blocklists) for and it happens automagically. I did use uMatrix for quite a awhile, but eventually ended up ditching it because uBlock Origin worked so well.
I guess the difference between Europe and the EU is too subtle for many.
Usually people get a second passport if they have to visit Iran and the US. This is legal in the EU and a somewhat standard workaround.
I found the conversation between you two interesting (as well as Scott Aaronson's post), so I figured I could contribute with a potentially relevant piece of reading: "Hard Criteria for Empirical Theories of Consciousness" (24-page PDF) at https://digitalcommons.chapman.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?artic...

In the same ballpark as IIT, I've seen many mentions of GWT/GNT (global neuronal workspace theory). But the PDF covers that and many others. I don't have any particular "conclusion" myself, but it's just a fascinating discussion to be swimming in even when utterly clueless.

EDIT:
And I forgot the most obvious link that I actually had read in the past, Stanford's page on conciousness talks about theories: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/consciousness/#SpeTheCon
Who is the author please?
Coppola is a big name but in no way a safe bet. His output is inconsistent and his biggest hits are 40 years ago. And based on the interview, it seems he has a hard time explaining what the movie is even about, which is no-go for Hollywood. If you cant pitch a movie in a sentence you can't market it.
Of course, I agree. I sit on both sides of this, personally.
Isn't the solution then to recognize the GTM proxy and block anything that tries to talk to it?
Fun fact - in Poland you can get a second passport for such situations.

You use one passport to visit Iran (etc), and the other to visit US, Israel and so on.

I never needed this, but it’s good to have such an option.
Maybe I already did this and maybe I didn’t. Maybe it’s all armchair theorizing. Then again…

To not share how you secure anonymity is to rely on security by obscurity. Now I think it’s better to lay out the playbook using Kerchkoff’s principle so k will become far larger than 150. Remember… to improve anonymity, at some point you have to publish your private keys. And where better than Hacker News?

The playbook is yours. Improve it!

Step 1: try to break it. Post how you’d defeat the anonymization scheme. The threat model is that you’re all state level actors combined. I’d love to see what you come up with.
Dru,

I'm gonna take an adversarial point of view here. Wrong is wrong, and the magnitudes aren't really comparable at the resolution of the individual. At the maximum, according to Statista, there were about 4mn slaves. There are about 5bn people online, out of what is projected to be 8bn. While there are certainly cultural boundaries, that 5bn almost certainly interfaces with Google. So taking a step back and looking at the magnitude implied by the scale, and the outsized power of Google in virtually every facet of society, I wonder if it really is stepping out of line. Keyword dragnets, indefensible tracking... What's next?
> Maybe there's a small human inside the human's brain, not understanding the rules the human is following, and it's only the innermost human that is really conscious?

That would be the materialist idea of there being no soul, consciousess etc — just complex biochemical processes happening in matter. This is however not a satisfying answer usually because it fails to explain the consistent experience of ourselves, the worlds we can imagine, remember or think about, the feelings that haunt us etc.

If there is only material, where is our consciousness? Apparently our consciousness somehow emerges from that material, but how would a conscious computer then look? Would there be a difference between a computer that simulates conscious behaviour and one that shows the same behaviour but actually "has" conscious in it somewhere?

I shared it in a sibling comment.
When academic philosophers say that subatomic particles are 'slightly conscious' and we (normal, everyday people) commonly say that a person who is alseep is unconscious, then it's obvious that we're using two completely different meanings for the concept of 'consciousness'. Academics (scientists in particular) should stop making 'WHOAH!'-sounding statements to try to make it onto '/r/IFuckingLoveScience’. It exacerbates the trust problem.
