Yes – Optery definitely helps with this, but it’s not a silver bullet yet. If your phone number is already out there circulating, I would recommend:

(a) Start by opting out of as many of the data brokers as you can, in particular the B2B contacts data brokers that are most likely the source of these unwanted phone calls like RocketReach, ContactOut, Clearbit, Hunter.io, LeadIQ, ZoomInfo, etc. Many of these data brokers Optery already covers, but others we are still in the process of adding to coverage.

(b) You can use Optery to opt out of a large chunk of these data brokers (200+ as of today), but you might need to supplement that with your own effort until we can catch up to the rest of them. We’re constantly adding more data brokers to our list of covered every month.

(c) Update your visibility settings on LinkedIn. A lot of information gets leaked out onto the web from LinkedIn, and in particular into the B2B contacts data brokers mentioned above: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a523134/visibi...

(d) Do not include your phone number or title on your email signature – many of the B2B contacts data brokers have data co-ops where all of their millions of customers share contacts and they parse through the email signatures in your email

(e) After you have done all of the above, and have reduced the footprint and presence of your phone number in these different places, change your phone number.

> If the Russians don't know what their government is doing wrong, how can they petition their government for change?

Do you genuinely think they won't know? Honest question. I'm a pretty spoiled first-worlder, so it's hard for me to imagine a scenario where the Russian people don't find out about the internet being blocked, or goods they once had access to to disappearing, or their overall wealth taking a sudden and steep loss. Seeing as how Putin is presenting essentially all of that information to them on government channels, just with a spin, I don't see "them not knowing enough" being an honest risk.
Copernicus' model had the planets orbiting the same in circles at uniform speed. This does not match reality, so Copernicus just chucked in some epicycles to correct the error. Copernicus's model had all the complexity of epicycles, but he hard coded the first epicycle into the system by having the planets orbit the Sun instead of the Earth.

We wouldn't need a Copernicus to solve this problem, we would need a Copernicus, then a Kepler, (ellipses & non-uniform speed) then a Newton, (gravity causes ellipses and non-uniform speed) and then an Einstein. (gravity is warping of space-time)

If quantum field theory is as wrong as Ptolemy's geocentric model was, we're hopeless. Because QFT very well predicts the observations; our observations have no ellipses in them that invalidate circular orbits, our observations have no anomalous Mercury precession that invalidates Newtonian gravity, no speed of light being consistent in all directions to invalidate luminiferous aether. To say that we simply need a smarter theoretical physicist is simply wrong -- our current theories do not contradict the things we are able to observe.

We know that general relativity and quantum mechanics do not play nice at small scales and high local gravity. But we cannot observe this conflict. And that's nothing to go on.

We would need an observation which shows that general relativity or QFT is wrong about something before we could conceivably make foundational progress on making new or different theories. And every few months there's a new article about "Einstein is proven right again" or "LHC experiment shows all readings are nominal".
Wild, a great read. From the article:

> In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted polio, which left him severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to lift himself out of bed. In 1944, he became entangled in the device and died of strangulation.

Just two years after that, Howard Hughes was hospitalized in a test flight of one of his prototypes. He also designed his own bed, which became the prototype for the modern hospital bed. He makes for a pretty great (but much longer) wiki bio to read after this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hughes

This article tackles one small and specific portion (bidding on branded keywords) of what paid search advertising is all about, so I think it’s fair to say that the title overstates the scope of the content.

Paid search advertising has been subject to hit pieces for the past 15 years, often authored by people who are resentful of Google for some reason and happy to cite a bunch of statistics that don’t actually prove their point.

Are there inept advertisers burning money on AdWords? Of course. Does that mean that major brands with entire departments filled with analysts running their paid search efforts can be debunked in a couple thousand words? Obviously not.
Odd that comments complain it was "too easy."

This is science. They're disproving a very narrow, specific hypothesis about a particular algorithm. They're not trying to disprove deepfakes in general. It's just one experiment collecting data on one setup.

Not only the most incendiary topics but the most incendiary people as well! So the crazy angry neighbor who AFK has two friends gets 500 followers on Twitter, and lots of "likes" on various partisan sites. That rush of approval causes the neighbor to invest even more of their time online where they feel important. This wouldn't be possible without network effects, so I agree, the algorithm can't be discounted or disambiguated from the phenomenon as a whole.

share their more extreme moments. Not automatically "better", there is an awful lot of tweeting where people are essentially exposing their mental illness and successfully soliciting support.

One could argue that the Russian leadership is a mistake of the Russian people, but that would be a silly argument, since it implies that Russians choose their leaders.

Russia hasn't had free and fair elections in decades, and possibly ever. The fact that some average Russians do, in fact, support their leadership is likely due to (a) the the complete state control of media and (b) the absence of historical precedent in Russia for legitimate public disagreement with the state.

In the West, we take some semblance of democracy, including free speech, for granted, but in Russia, democracy and free speech has never existed. Speaking out against your president is a foreign idea for any Russia who isn't well-versed in Western liberal ideals. The average Russians have no familiarity with ideas like "I support my country but not my president."

A lot of weird insinuations from weird sources ( especially modern diplomacy, yikes).

You are very critical of right extremists that represent 2% of the population.

Note : I hate extremists left and right. But 2-3% doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

It seems that you are overrepresenting a minor group ( extremists ), that should easily be crushed by the majority you are presenting.

As far as I'm aware, in 2014 people in some eastern regions were 54% in favor of Russia ( not a clear majority either) and because of the gray zone invasion in 2014 that declined to 14% later on.

Considering that 17,3% in entire Ukraine identify as ethic Russians and not Ukrainians, I'm actually suprised by the weak support later on.

Unfortunately we still do not understand the mechanism of action nor the underlying cellular consequences. (Subclinical cases obviously are not measurable, and clinical resolutions may not mean no permanent damage.) Here is a study where autopsies were done on teenagers who appear to have died from the vaccine induced myocarditis.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35157759/

It could go either way imo: we may find only a small number of people were harmed, or we may find that thousands of young men now have subclinical heart damage that they need to monitor and make lifestyle choices to address. I suspect we will know more in the next year, but in any case this radically alters the bioethics of mandates.

Though with carbon fuels there's an extra layer of trying to avert global catastrophe where some of those affects are good.

I would love if we could use this crisis to get investment in renewables and EVs/batteries.

I could see Congress passing an emergency subsidy before the election if gas stays above $4 especially if it rises above $5. I would hope we can spend an equal amount or more for longer term 'green' investment, regardless of what happens.

IMHO we do need those high prices to discourage driving. It is after all probably closer to the true cost with externalities of global warming. Could spur more investment in renewables too if done right.

BUT would need to help lower earners during transition or will just get pummeled in the election and Republicans will do the opposite of what's needed on climate.

I personally think most equitable solution would probably be raise corporate rate back up a bit + on very high earners/get rid of some wealthy deductions.

Then do something akin to the child tax credit mailed out each month for maybe <50k households. An energy credit. Scale up slightly if have a bunch of kids.

"if it relies on 32 bit libraries"

the last 32bit only Mac system shipped a decade prior to Catalina. 32bit was dropped a decade after support for the last 32bit only Macs. Apple Silicon in both iOS and Mac is 64bit only, on iOS it has been for years.

Despite that, macOS supports everything required for proton - the mechanisms that allow wine to run 32bit x86 apps on both intel and under rosetta exist pretty much purely for the purpose of things like wine (and so proton).

So I'm not sure where you get "apple cut off the proton devs" from that work
The quotes from scientists at the end of the article nicely summarize my opinion on this article:

Having everything in one unit sharing the same pool of memory is quite common. PCs (and older) Macs didn’t do it because the CPU and GPU evolved as physically separate parts and sharing memory was too slow.

I believe some Intel/AMD low power chips (non-performance laptops) have use this unified memory model as well.

But it became extremely common on phones where there was no historical baggage and it was thought out from day one. I believe all the consoles use a unified memory layout now, but I’m not 100% sure.

The usual limitation is you’re stuck with the on-die GPU, which can pale in comparison to a top of the line AMD or nVidia board.
It reminds me of that time I was somewhat viciously verbally assaulted and accused of "self-censorship" for saying strawperson instead of strawman. I just like it better and have always said it that way, but that person was so deep in a culture war mindset that they couldn't imagine I'd chosen that phrasing without any political thought given to it. Sometimes a spade is just a spade and not a leftist mind control plot.

The myocarditis from COVID and vaccines plausibly have separate prognoses (we don’t even know much about either) but in any case for this population some studies have shown the risk is higher of this specific symptom for both mRNA vaccines.

It's incredible how rapid and sticky the narrative shift has been. Literally from 24/7 covid to 24/7 ukraine in a matter of days.

And we've now come full circle back to the PowerPC days.
You fantasize about something, claim to be able to read minds then extrapolate from there into another fantasy and present the final outcome as some kind of insightful fact though you are clearly not 'in the loop'. The degree to which you have qualified your statement to ensure we all understand you are making stuff up makes it utterly meaningless, it is simply noise.
I think another major consideration is that Iraq was an unvarnished dictatorship, is far away, and wasn't very industralized. Mostly nobody inside or outside of Iraq had any problem with the US or anyone else killing Saddam Hussein and toppling that government. International law aside, he seemed like a total asshole, a fact corroborated by my many Iraqi friends in Michigan who fled his government in the 80s and 90s.

The story is quite a bit different for a fully industrialized democratic country with nominal rule of law and a fairly elected head of state, directly adjacent to our political and military allies in Europe.

The fact that Ukraine is industrialized and proximate in Europe probably counts for a lot more than the fact that Ukranians are ~100% white and christian.

I think the racism narrative is more than slightly overblown (but not entirely without merit).

based on my observations over the last two weeks, it's unironically something along the lines of "zoomers throwing molotovs at the police over being deprived of fortnite", because the people who come up with these fantasies project their character traits upon a radically different population. something akin to expecting the Afghani to take up arms against the Taliban over that one McDonald's shutting down in Kabul.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. What you're saying is, in my experience, true. AMD is the multi core king. Intel is the single core king.

Multi core CPU performance benchmarks push your CPU and all its cores to the limit, but that doesn't reflect the typical real-world use case because the typical real-world use case involves programs that aren't able to effectively utilize all CPU cores. On top of that, gaming is the only typical use case where you are going to be pushing your CPU to the limit (i.e. the place where you actually need your CPU to be fast) and games don't CPU-parallelize well, meaning higher single core performance is generally best in the case of gaming.

Macs aren't made for gaming. They're made for productivity, multitasking, and creative work (the one major area where a multi core CPU can be fully utilized) so it makes complete sense for Apple to go the multi core route, but I can't say the same for AMD and their 8+ core gaming CPUs.
