The continual attention loss dealing with ads is certainly more than the once-per-install job of turning on an adblocker. I'm surprised it isn't mandated in corporate environments to recover attention loss of employees.

He makes an interesting argument:

For years now, Russia has been training the United States like Pavlov's dog, delicately preparing the Americans for their most important capitulation - the refusal to fulfill their allied obligations under Article 5 of the NATO Charter.

I agree there is a risk Putin thinks he has achieved this.

Traditionally, during the Cold War, the US would station US troops in pretty-much indefensible forward locations (eg West Berlin).

The theory was that these troops would be killed by any attack, and US allies could be confident that the loss of US lives would be enough to make sure the US responded.

Interestingly, NATO has prominently been pointing out the existence of "four multinational battalion-size battlegroups in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland... led by the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and the United States respectively"

https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_136388.htm

And repeating their commitment to article 5:

"Putin’s war affects us all and NATO Allies will always stand together to defend and protect each other," he said. The Secretary General also noted that NATO is deploying elements of the NATO Response Force for the first time in its history. "Today, French troops are arriving in Romania as the lead element of this force. Our commitment to Article 5, our collective defence clause, is iron-clad,"

https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_192548.htm

The reluctance of Trump to back article 5[1] will cost lots of lives.

> A good rule to live by is to ask "what would happen if everyone did X?" In this case, Nintendo would cease to exist. Maybe you'd be happy about this. Plenty of people wouldn't. Switches are generally available and not that expensive. If you want to play Switch games, buy one. If you don't, don't

Sorry, but what is "X"? Emulation? If everyone emulated Nintendo games, we don't really know that Nintendo would cease to exist, but they probably would not cease to exist because plenty of folks who emulate Nintendo games still buy Nintendo products, because they are, you know, Nintendo fans. :)

> And failing that if you want to just steal, then just steal. But what really rubs me the wrong way is when people who have chosen to steal start moralizing their position like they're standing up for some vague rights or principles.

What really rubs me the wrong way is when commenters on HN paint people who use emulators as thieves, and emulator developers as enablers of theft, and nothing more. The irony here is that you're doing moral posturing yourself in this comment. The commenter you responded to never mentioned piracy. The article in question never mentioned piracy. So if by "X" you meant "piracy", well, nice strawman, otherwise you're equivocating emulation with piracy, which is wrong.

EDIT: By the way, a great reason to emulate Switch games is to experience them at higher resolutions and higher framerates. Thought you should know, not everyone does it to save a few bucks.
That's not the point. People don't really seem to get that Russia is basically a terrorist state right now. The goal is not only to cut power but to terrorize - striking a nuclear plant and preventing firefighters from intervening is, as you currently see, scary as fuck. They're sending a message.

If you want an actual explanation for the extension of NATO into the former communist countries, look no further. East Europeans have a collective memory about how the Russian military operates.
For those that don’t know about it, you can find a fairly complete commercial iPhone emulator at Corellium: https://www.corellium.com/

You can even emulate it being attached directly to your Mac and use it as a cloud device from Xcode
You're mixing up the concept of censorship with the 1A.

The 1A guarantees the right that our government won't censor us.

It only pertains to the government, not these two instances involving social media behemoths and Russia.

Just because something doesn't violate the 1A doesn't mean it's not censorship.

Are you saying Putin isn't censoring information since it's legal for him to do so in Russia?
Airplane accidents existed before 9/11 and it was never a motivation to identify who is flying, so that's not it.

Remember that before 9/11 a flight ticket was just a physical ticket like any other. You'd buy it and could sell it forward or give it away to whoever and they could use it by just showing it. Nobody cared who it was, just that everyone boarding had a ticket.
Neither were the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka.

“hyper-directional” is relative. It’s physically impossible to create a truly collimated RF beam, physics ensures that even if you do, it’ll still spread out over distance.

Normal dishes and antenna all spill RF power in many directions. Directional just means the antenna dumps the majority of its power in one direction, but certainly not all of it.

With a sensitive radio, and some signal analysis to identify Starlinks “wire”-protocol, you should be able to detect the spilled RF signal coming off a Starlink antenna, regardless of where is pointing. Get enough radios and you can start doing some trilateration to pin-point a terminal, then aim a missile in the general direction of the terminal, and equip it with a RF tracking system that can bring it home once it’s in roughly the right area, and the Starlink signal becomes strong enough to detect with simpler equipment, and bam, you’ve got yourself a Starlink killer.

Of course working out all the details of such a system is non-trivial. But don’t think for a moment having a directional antenna is going to save you. Might buy you more time, but you’re far from invisible.

You may remember the Lytro camera (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytro), that company's founder was the author of this paper. The camera works in a unique way, with a special lens construct. The full 4D light field is captured by the camera (vs a conventional 2d image), which allows you to view the resulting image with any arbitrary focus.

I had a chance to play with one once. While it's a fascinating toy, the bizarre form factor, and proprietary data format, seem to have effectively doomed the product.
I don't know anything about his personal circumstances, but it is not inconceivable that he, or his spouse, or both have relatives in Ukraine who are potentially being shelled at this very moment or hiding it out, and that Grischuk and his relatives are in a great distress right now.
Yes, You can do this with Requestly desktop app. You can use Modify Response feature to just specify a URL then specify the status code you need like 400 or 500 and then you can also specify what content do you want to return.

Requestly also lets you write a simple JS script to change something in the existing content. Here are some references for you - About Modify Response (https://requestly.io/feature/modify-response/), Change Status Code (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50923170/simulate-fake-4...).

And yes, Requestly is available on Windows too.
It's interesting how similar these complaints are to the ones about the original iPhone. Many are literally the same.

The Mac became more open than the iPhone ever did - then started getting closed down more and more again - but they were both basically perfect MVP/proof of concept launches for a basic form factor and interface that got extended over the years to do so much more.
One of the most prestigious private all boys schools in the country asked my cousin to leave because he was causing too many discipline problems. His classmates were bullying him because he's gay.
This only work if the parents are skilled in teaching young children. But we don't have that much people with those skills. So if they are capable of doing this, they should be teaching at schools instead!

Unless you want to say that this isn't skilled work and it can be done by anyone with no training. In this case: why do you think that?
The tech pessimism in this community really is getting out of hand. Nothing but burns, seeking only negatives, bad faith assumptions and not giving any idea any chance.

When you install Brave, it's going to ask you about that Brave rewards thing. It's opt-in. Nothing will happen if you have some sweeping rage against crypto. And the thing asking you for it, it takes one click to hide it.

Congrats. Now you have an incredibly snappy browser. It's Chrome without all the Google-specific crap. Whereas using uBlock is a massive performance improvement, Brave is a similarly large EXTRA performance improvement. Click around some heavy content websites, performance is near-instant. I'm on a very high-end desktop and even then the difference between ordinary Chrome and Brave is extreme.

Although privacy comparisons between browsers are complex, Brave scores high if not highest. Unlike Mozilla, they don't need to make exceptions for Google. Brave has made a few mistakes in this area, all quite inconsequential, but they were quick to correct it. They're not like Mozilla that sits 7 years on a ticket.

So it's extremely fast and top-notch in terms of privacy. It has a built-in ad blocker, is has the option of using Tor for private windows, directly built-in. How cool is that?

Wayback integration for 404s? Thoughtful and clever.

They dare to innovate. For example, they support IPFS directly inside the browser. You may not need it, but it's an interesting technology to explore if you care about tech at all. And if not IPFS, just the idea in itself of a browser going a bit bleeding edge should be celebrated. And I extend that thought to their add-on products. Like chat or video calls, alternatives to the big tech versions of those. Why not? They may never become successful but why shut the door before you tried it? These are attempts at the alternative internet done the right way, the work that Mozilla would be doing, if they weren't so dysfunctional.

Why stamp all of that into the ground before even seriously looking at it?

And about that crypto-based rewards program, before you make up your mind, you know what else one can do? Try it. Wire 10$ into a wallet. Send BAT tokens to websites that you appreciate.

Congrats, you now used crypto. You're not a criminal, nobody will arrest you, you didn't burn the planet and didn't get kicked out of the political party. You send small money to people you like. The shock, the horror.
I'd be interested to know how it does with Breath of the Wild as well. Animal Crossing, too. We own both games, but the Switch's long load times hamper my fun. It's especially a problem in Animal Crossing.

Telling young men to ignore women and focus on physical fitness and their careers is great advice. Then women that ignore you at 24 will be all over you at 34. But by then you'll realize how the game works and not be such a sucker. Casting MGTOW or red pilled ideas as "pro-incel" is the lie used to make you reject the truth outright.
I'll reply to you instead of the parent.

The parent has always worked remotely and has chosen that.

Everyone the past two years worked remotely and a majority NOT choose it and did not prepare either. Sure, some people turn out to prefer it. But my point is that it's unnatural and unhealthy to force any large cohort into a particular system. So we are in agreement.
One can build a camera that captures the angle of incoming light as well as its brightness at each pixel. This is called "4D" photography, or now more commonly called Light Field photography (like the Lytro camera). This captures light at "all" depths of focus. They present a method to use the fourier transform to evalute and quantify the quality of this light field by mapping the angle resolution to the quality of digital focus that can be produced from the light field.
The cameras work by capturing a narrow slice of angles at many pixels, which determines how accurately they know each light ray making up the scene.
Light computes a Fourier transform as it propogates - 1 focal distance past where an image is focused, you will find the light representing the spatial frequency of the image (i.e, its Fourier transform). By capturing many angles, you hope to capture and unmix the Fourier transformed representations of an image at many focal distances.

I'm surprised, since the dictionary has some apple music and icloud music library functionality. I expected it to expose "up next" as another type of playlist. I'm not sure if the same on desktop, but the iOS version of music allows you to control whats up next using Shortcuts. On the mac, you can control shortcuts with applescript using "Shortcuts Events", and shortcuts can run applescript.

I would probably twist it into something in the "no-code" space. That's a very busy space, but it's interesting to think about things from that angle.
> A good rule to live by is to ask "what would happen if everyone did X?"

For example: "What would happen if all companies blocked individuals from doing what they want with the hardware they bought?" You get a hacking community and people imprisoned for the unlocked hardware they paid for. Not to mention a whole lot of ewaste that could otherwise work for years.

No, that's not a good example. How about this one: "What would happen if all companies opened up their hardware and stopped forcing people to upgrade for no reason?" Eutopia, that's what! Less ewaste. Less consumerism. People can actually use the hardware they paid for the way they want to use it.

This argument has been (ab)used since piracy has been a thing. I'm not aware of any company going under directly because of piracy, especially not just because of emulators. If there is one, I'd love to know, but even so, the numbers is negligible. Also, emulation is not the same piracy. While emulation can be used for piracy, it is not the main use case.

Corporations like Nintendo are not your friend.

If they were to spring a leak then it would be impossible to hide their activity from the population at home, so my guess is that's something they would try to avoid.

There are orders of magnitude more games available for emulation than are playable on the Switch. Nintendo has really dropped the ball on making their back catalog available legitimately.
> I really don't understand the Russian military strategy.

I'm the opposite, I really don't understand what people aren't seeing regarding the Russian strategy. People seem to think the Ukraine invasion should look exactly like the Iraq invasion and be over within 2 weeks with Putin in front of a "Mission Accomplished" sign.

We all know that wouldn't accomplish anything. The Ukrainian population would still resist Russian government whether or not Kyiv falls quickly and Zelenskyy is ousted. The Euromaidan forces that ousted the last Russian puppet will still be there. While you could argue Iraq was a boondoogle because removing Saddam left a giant power vacuum, arguably the removal of Zelenskyy wouldn't change anything about Ukraine.

This isn't the Iraq playbook. This is the Chechnya playbook. And that playbook is much more horrifying.
I wonder if this system might ameliorate that negative correlation, if junior teachers are assigned the worst students (not schools). I would think the enthusiasm and engagement dissipate after years of fruitless struggling with bad pupils. If you give the low achieving students exclusively to the young teachers, their wide-eyed passion for the youth of tomorrow or whatever can carry them through the first few years - offering the best to students who won't be able to make much with it (and offering the best to the late bloomers who were miscategorized who will). From there they slowly matriculate up the ranks, teaching students who are more and more capable of and receptive to learning. I bet their enthusiasm weathers the years better overall as they always have the next step of better students to look forward to, and their job becomes easier in a sense as time goes on.

There is one strong argument for emulating current Nintendo (specifically Nintendo) hardware: Game and console preservation.

Nintendo has a long habit of stopping console support and games become harder or impossible to buy; waiting for a Nintendo console to reach end of life before emulating and dumping the games means that some games are going to be missed. Also, emulating currently supported consoles allows for things like archival records of system OSes to study how they changed over time. (Because in 100 years, some graduate student will study how 20th and 21st century video gaming companies handled security updates).

> If you want to play Switch games, buy one

And when I've done my duty and bought one, and bought the games, am I allowed to tinker then?

I see what you're driving at, but there are a great number of advantages to emulation and system hacks even for those of us that buy our games.

My PSP, when properly hacked, didn't need disks as I could store all the games I owned on a memory card or two. They loaded faster, used less battery and I didn't have to carry the damn things around. Similarly I had a PS2 with a hard drive so I could have all the games available on a menu system, and with faster load times. Same story on the Wii.

The other way around, I would play my Wii games that I had bought on Dolphin, which generally could render them at a higher resolution to target the 1080p tv I had at the time, where the Wii itself was limited to 576p. I routinely emulate the megadrive/genesis on all sorts of platforms including those hacked consoles, so I can play Sonic, which I bought many years ago.

I don't think these actions are wrong, nor do I think they hurt Sony, Sega or Nintendo, unless we're getting into the territory of "you denied them money they could have had if you re-bought everything multiple times". Sure, and I could give them 100 bucks a month direct from my paycheck, but I'm not doing that either.
That's a very good question. Manifest V3 changes heavily impact Requestly because we use webRequest API to intercept the network requests. We have already started evaluating what works and what not.

A couple of things which I see right away not being supported directly in Manifest V3 are like adding a random parameter to URL to avoid caching, Inserting a script before page load etc.

Apart from this, from a couple of folks whom I know have migrated to Manifest V3 their users have faced some issues So I'd be most likely wait for another 4-5 months before doing the migration. Do you have any pointers for v2 to v3 migration?
