DNS based blocking isn't even close to as effective as request level blocking, most Google based tracking is all first party.
I used to play Bluff as a kid, and we did not have the rule that only the next player can challenge. I agree that such a rule makes it better - and is necessary if you have more than 4 players. When we'd have, say, 6 players, almost every move would get challenged, and the winner usually was the one who never bluffs, which makes it a lot less fun.
Or just use the browser because not everyone wants to muck with DNS or proxies or any of that.

> Trump was not impeached, the vote for it failed.

Trump was impeached twice, the vote exceeding the required majority of the House of Representatives in each case. Impeachment is similar to indictment in the normal criminal process: a formal laying of charges.

Trump was not convicted in the trial resulting from either impeachment by the required 2/3 of the Senate, however.
I do that, but it is certainly not anywhere near as easy as using Brave.

I am skeptical of Brave, because their business model seems hand-wavy and their crypto shit seems skeezy. But right now, I can't think of anything offering better ROI for ad/tracker blocking.

If you are going to tell your parents "just set up pi-hole on a cheap raspi, or spin up an LXC or Docker container to run it on your LAN, then use it for DNS" then you definitely have different parents than I do.

But pretty much anybody who uses a computer can install and run Brave.
:thumbsup: No worries.. I just get tired of the arguement that "well you get these things for free if you put yourself through a subscription" (That same arguement exists on the PSN and their "free games")

I think what you're missing is that

1) you still need to install and maintain it and there are many trends even professionally that want to avoid that

2) just cause you could get it many may not want it. I could easily see people settle for a nice M1 MBA or M1 iMac and just stream the games if their internet is fine. Heck, wouldn't it be nicer to play some PC games in the living room like you can do with SteamLink?

3) another comment brings a big point that this unlocks a new "type" of game which can be designed in ways that take advantage of more than a single computer's power to do games with massively shared state that couldn't be reliably done before.

I think to counter my own points: 1) I certainly have a beefy desktop anyways 2) streaming graphics are not even close to local graphics (a huge point) 3) there is absolutely zero way they're gonna steam VR games from a DC to an average residential home within 5 years IMHO.
SECAM had somewhat better colour accuracy, but was difficult and expensive to work with (at least until digital editing showed up, but it was a bit late by then...)

Well, I don't still have my copy of the Skeptical Environmentalist (moving cross country does that) but I bought the hard-cover when it came out because the ideologically-tainted glasses I was wearing were those of a young libertarian who loved the idea of the experts being wrong but hadn't yet learned to be just as skeptical of the knowledgeable-sounding people who were saying that.

One of the big things to look at is track record: the reports by real scientists from the 1980s and 1990s have predictions which include the present and those numbers have been pretty accurate. For example, this is fully a decade old:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2012/12/ipccs-climate-projec...

The people saying “no big deal, don't worry about it” have not had the same track record. More importantly, however, is being small-c conservative: if we get rid of high pollution fuel sources it'll definitely mean less profit for the people who fund those authors’ work but for most of us the effects will be better health and living conditions with manageably higher costs in a few areas and savings in others (buying an EV instead of a big ICE SUV is a TCO savings, for example, and ditching my natural gas for a modern heat-pump saved more summer AC than it costs in the winter).

In contrast, the approach of doing as little as as the fossil fuel industry wants is guaranteed to produce much greater costs and in many cases the random nature of those makes it much harder to mitigate, especially since a lot of people who primarily hear from deniers will resist any changes until it's their personal basement flooding.
> Zero and nonzero mantissas always mean different things, no matter what the exponent is.

They don't normally mean different types of value. 4.0000000 and 4.0000001 are just different adjacent numbers.

> I guess I am not sure how this could be described as an optimization... an optimization relative to what? Some hypothetical floating-point format which has extra bits?

Using the exponent to distinguish, like the format uses for normal/subnormal/nonfinite. Or using extra bits, sure.

They took a bit pattern that would have been a NaN if not for Infinity, and used it to store Infinity.

You and several comments below point out how you like the old doom games and not anything new. I would agree that the old games (including Quake) were masterpieces, but I still like Doom 2016, Eternal, Ancient Gods Part 1, and Ancient Gods Part 2. It isn't supposed to be serious and the gameplay took me awhile to master. I enjoy having to think about which weapon and which of the 2 upgrades I need for each scenario and how I need to constantly use the flamethrower, gory kills, and chainsaw kills as much as possible to keep armor, health, and ammo high enough. I haven't even scratched the surface to be honest as good players will even use a trick of rapidly switching weapons to deal out maximum damage while not having to wait so long to reload. I'm almost forgot that double jump, double dashing, and the double barreled shotgun's meathook all give you crazy movement abilities. Then there is trying to remember the weakness of every monster. So the setting isn't as good (and the story is whacky), but the mechanics switch it from an FPS to some kind of art form. The only thing missing IMO is Mass Effect style character specializations. I'm not as big of a fan of the platforming, but it's an interesting challenge.

Also, from the Oxford English Dictonary:

Pome: "Botany. The type of fruit that is characteristic of the apple (Malus domestica), the pear (Pyrus communis), and related members of the family Rosaceae, which consists of a fleshy, enlarged receptacle enclosing a tough central core (the true fruit), formed from several united carpels and containing the seeds." Outside of botany, that usage is obsolete.

The definition of pomology is broader, however: "The branch of horticulture concerned with the cultivation of fruit."

It is an extremely effective tactic in the long run.
The 3rd parent was suggesting hollow core fiber, which I _think_ is supposed to reduce the distance travelled to near fiber length through band gap effects i.e eliminating the extra distance travelled in regular fiber core due to total internal reflection, hence the lower latency. Light still travels about 2/3 the speed in silica core compared to in a vacuum, so it would make the fastest possible speed 2*10^8 m/s (per meter of actual fiber)

So in order for LEO satellites to compete, the total distance from A to B must be less than 1.5 times the equivalent of hollow core fiber on the ground.

Oh god I have to do trig! So finding the ratio of the the horizontal (ground) to vertical (altitude) when the hypotenuse is 1.5 * the horizontal =

(1.5**2-1)**0.5 = 1.118033988749895.

i.e 1:1.11 half-ground:altitude

550 / 1.118033988749895 * 2 = 984km

i.e A single hop Satellite at 550km altitude would beat a straight line (ignoring curvature, bored through the ground) hollow core fiber at 984km (I _think_ :P). Realistically you can probably lower the distance since we don't actually get straight line A-B fiber, but that's still quite a long minimum distance.

Disclaimer: there are too many assumptions and approximations in here, it's just for fun.

[edit]

whoops, hollow core is supposed to be almost speed of light, so actually it's not much of a competition any more in the idealised case.
I know a number of people with B.A. or M.A. degrees in Music who cannot play the piano or any instrument with proficiency, and when they do it's the musical equivalent of watching a person type with 2 fingers.

They can tell you the structure of a composition but not play one, or discuss what makes music beautiful to humans but do not make music themselves.

This isn't a dig on them. It takes all kinds to make the world go round.

If the App Store becomes full of “checkbox ports” it’s going to be even more difficult to navigate than it already is.

Part of that is on Apple for not investing more in discovery, but copious numbers of low effort ports isn’t a good thing to have anyway. In the game world, bad ports of console games to PC and bad ports of games from any other platform to the Switch are one of the most consistent gripes — quite often the sentiment surrounding them is that they’d be better off not existing.
Hah! I only just watched that again a couple of weeks ago. With every re-watch I'm reminded of how terrible that movie is, and with all the passing of time between re-watches my memory of it continues to improve it until it seems worthy of another re-watch, and then I'm disappointed again.

Could you do this 20 times as a custom services consultant and then identify the most important and valuable ask from your clients and then productize that as software?

Take on 4 clients in parallel with 3 month contracts and you’ll have 16 done in a year.

>Those are not just my words, they're words from the bible of doing good business,

Yeah, that's kind of the problem with your whole argument: it reads like your entire understanding of the field is from an undergrad business textbook.

For one, you keep equating a job having a customer service component with the specific job of customer support as you have it in the tech field.

>An employee that thinks ignoring customers is a good practice likely ends up working in customer service at Comcast as the pinnacle of their career.

Waitstaff to Call Center is not a career path I've ever seen anyone take. Too orthogonal to be a desired career change (if not downright worse if you're in a good market for service industry), doesn't build upon the skillset you've already built, and doesn't have the allure of long downtime that draws people into Security and Reception work.

Eh, I'm one of those people sometimes. If it's a word I don't know that I want a definition for, sure I'll look it up.

If it's a concept, an event, or something more broad then I'll just ask because I find I often get more context from individual conversations than from consulting the hive mind. It can often open up avenues for conversation and learning that would have not otherwise happened.

I do the same for in-person in conversation. If I don't know what something is, I'm not going to whip out my phone and look it up, I just ask "what does that word mean?" or "toilet paper...what's that?"

I was against the war in Iraq 20 years ago. I am still ashamed of it, and as an American I bear some shared culpability for it. I would have understood bans and boycotts and would have been at peace even if I were personally impacted. It would have been immeasurably less than what the hundreds of thousands of innocent, dead Iraqis suffered. I think Tyler Cowen is more concerned about this than Grischuk. I wonder why.

I don't use Brave yet, but I suspect I will have to make a decision between Brave and Firefox next January. Chrome Manifest v3 is going to be strictly enforced, which will neuter uBlock Origin, which will significantly increase the number of ads I interact with while browsing.

Firefox is the nobler choice, to be sure, but I enjoy working within the Chromium ecosystem. Brave is built on top of Chromium and will still be affected, but Brave Shields is a native implementation, not an extension, and will be unaffected. They will also work to support v2 as best as possible. This gives them a certain allure!
I have been reading non-US sources that have observed that Putin has superficially declined in health and there are rumors that he is in poor health.

I agree the Putin is "not Russia", but he is a strongman, and Russia has a history of very strong autocrats. I really hope you are right about the Russian military and those officers in charge of the nuclear armament.

We'll see, this will be a fascinating chapter of post-Cold-War history.

That's how I've always played too. If only the next player can challenge I can imagine table position would play a huge role in the outcome.

If you're able to pay in front of the most risk-averse player you probably won't be called on as many bluffs. If you play behind the most risk-averse player you probably won't have to risk challenging much either.
It's cheaper when you reduce resource requirements.

If you're loading a bunch of code in memory you don't end up using, you're wasting memory. Depending on how modular your code is, you may end up loading other external dependencies that don't get used (like initializing database connections). Likewise, for containers, you can usually make the container image smaller reducing data transfer, reducing Docker pull time, reducing host IOPs to unpack the image.

A lot of those problems can be optimized around, but sometimes it's quite a bit of work if you're already on a platform or framework that makes assumptions

If you're not deploying or scaling often and you have other mitigations like lazy loading to reduce memory, there may be no advantage.
Writes are much slower than reads, but modern CPUs have a write-buffer for each core so they don't need to wait for the write to propagate back down the caches and into main memory before continuing execution.
That would be an astonishing feat, just logistically. Do you have evidence of fraud on that scale?
Leak: EU drafts plan to ditch Russian gas
In practice, I feel you're right. It will simply devolve into a superficial display of maturity being used as the right metric while real, deeper signals are buried or ignored in the face of superficial counter-signal.

Worked as something of a TA in several high school computer courses (MS Business Applications, Programming (Basic), Programming (Java)) with many students of varying levels and competencies. Was quite a fond memory in quite a lot of ways. Schools should encourage more of that sort of thing and less batshit test prep. Unfortunately, true well-rounded human beings don't solicit eyeballs and award shows and budget dollars.
If you like the way Chromium looks and feels then yes it's very worth it. Personally I switched from Firefox to Brave due to their different approaches to fingerprinting protection which I consider a huge privacy issue. Firefox seems to take the approach of making everyone look the same all the time, but not enough people use the locked down version for it to be effective and they still leak enough Javascript-level information that that even within the "all look the same" crowd you will stand out, for example they spoof the request user agent but not the javascript-level user agent string (maybe that was a bug and has been fixed?). Brave on the other hand takes my preferred approach which is to muddy the water as much as possible, they spoof as many data points to make you look as unique as possible, between every user and between ever session (which is especially important imho). With Brave if you want a fingerprinting website to think you're someone new you just need to open a new session.

There isn't much to say about it beyond the buffs to privacy, as that's really it's purpose, to be Chrome but more privacy focused.

Because whether or not they “love open source” has no bearing on rationally deciding whether or not they should release one of their products as open source.

The only function of that statement as far as I can tell is to ingratiate themselves to the reader, i.e. “we’re on your team!” That type of desperate signaling communicates a lack of confidence in their rationalization, which in turn makes it seem disingenuous.
