uBlock Origin offers two element-picker modes. The lightning-bolt tool deletes whatever you click on, adding a rule blocking that element for future visits. The eyedropper tool does the same, with a preview option and more control over the selector you filter out; this is useful with modal overlays, where the prompt itself may be nested in a screen-filling div, blocking the underlying content.

> It sounds like Meta wants to change the definition of time for everyone just to make their programming a little easier. I find the very premise just out right ridiculous. ... Meta is just trying to make their problem someone else's problem.

Meta's argument is: we should get rid of leap seconds because even though they're helpful for astronomers, they're bad for everyone else.

Your counterpoint was: Actually leap seconds are _also_ bad for astronomers.

Which implies then that Meta is even more right to suggest that we get rid of leap seconds, because it seems like they help nobody.

You seem to be arguing under the assumption that every truck in existence is "working" 100% of the time, and that no one buys trucks unless they need them for work. This is not the case. If a job requires a truck, so be it. I'm not that naive. But what I, as well as the rest of the people you're responding to, are arguing is that there are a lot of people who buy trucks just because they're "masculine", and that it doesn't make economic sense.

Ammunition is easy to make when all components are readily available. Each round of modern ammo requires a bullet, a case, a load of gunpowder, and a primer. Bullets are relatively easy to cast. Gunpowder can be manufactured, but making smokeless from scratch is not easy, while the traditional black gunpowder gums up semi-auto action very fast. Cases and especially primers are very hard to make right.

How does RDOF test that? Speedtest.net? Fast.com? Rarely have I received 100Mbps via http transfer mechanisms, and that's the majority of what people do all day. Websites, streaming video, etc are all small discrete downloads via lots of multiple requests. They don't have time to get "up to speed". What that 100Mbps is allow ~10 people to use ~10Mbps at the same time. That's the testing I'd be interested in seeing proof of their service being met.

This is me. They tend to lead me to good abstractions (after merciless refactoring), and I'd like to think that I'm sucking less at this over time. But my overall process is very slow (good thing I'm self employed). Understood that it'd be better to stop and think instead of diving into new-abstraction boilerplate work.

Worse though is to be under heavy pressure to ship and move on — with the bad abstractions getting hopelessly calcified / buried.
I think your response is valid. Pedantic, but valid. I read into Carmack's post and interpreted it as him meaning "advertising", and then used the same nomenclature he used. You are right to say that this is imprecise.

Honestly now I'm not sure what he meant by Marketing. I still think he meant "getting the word out" Which would fall on advertising in all it's lovely forms.
As far as I know, only MAGA morons were killed in the protests, and largely got what they deserved. There was some fake news about a police officer getting killed with a fire extinguisher, but it turned out that it was a death from natural causes and there was no fire extinguisher attack at all. Most of the people arrested for entering the capital had been waved in by police holding the doors open, and the ones who didn't plead guilty are largely getting acquitted of trespassing charges. As far as I know, almost nobody arrested for Jan 6 had an assault or battery charge, despite how zealous the prosecution of those people has been.

I mean, that's the thing, I heard a lot of PR about people interacting with celebrities, VCs etc. And people saying the _format_ was great as it attracted all these people. But the reality was the novelty attracted these people, and a VC that spends all day chatting with randomers won't be managing their investments very well so they would need to dial back, and the celebs who were enjoying the novelty were going to realise that any venue to interact with fans is capable of consuming "all their time", and want to go back to putting it back in its time limited box, so that aspect of the appeal was never going to last.

Then for the randoms talking to randoms type groups, voice chat is a big increase in commitment over Reddit/HN/whatever. You could argue that encourages better contributions, but it also discourages frequent contributions, which in turn helped the "fizzling out" effect

I watched a security video recently of 3 random people in a convenience store. The store clerk has some kind of medical issue, passes out and falls down.

The 3 random people decide that now they can rob the store with impunity, take a bunch of stuff, and then leave the clerk on the floor. Eventually someone else came in and helped the clerk, but it wasn't like those 3 people were part of some psychopath convention. They just independently decided that getting about $20 worth of free stuff was a better option than calling 911 or checking on the man.
"They did this mostly by using better paints and making sure cars and car parts are painted more thoroughly."

Their cars last longer because they put more emphasis on durability and longevity than bleeding edge performance, for parts that matter in extending overall operating life of a vehicle.

Germans may use their dollars differently, designs that require tighter tolerance for higher performance. They may also skimp out on actual durability testing, serviceability of parts, etc. Again, prioritizing performance over other attributes.
https://stellwerke.info/ has a good overview, and I think by now it's also quite comprehensive.

Say what? People should be allowed to disagree with you and even ignore you, that's what freedom of speech is about, be it in academia or wherever.

That's kindergarten, not academia.

Are there any reputable sources for that interpretation? At face value, it seems like a flimsy attempt at sweeping the unfortunate implications of the words "impure blood" under the rug.

But since nationalism was widespread and encouraged in that zeitgeist, and considering the context of a foreign invasion in which the lyrics were written, I am way more inclined to assume that the "impure blood" is that of the "ferocious soldiers" coming for the French.

Agreed.

This, however, is very consistent with NVC. Not just with NVC but with most communications books - especially those involving difficult issues. These books focus more on figuring out what's inside of you than in the actual verbal communication. If you're upset/angry, the goal is to understand what is causing you to be angry and how you got there - why would you get angry and someone else wouldn't?

Looks like rockets were invented before a global war broke out with peaceful intentions, then the military used that invention for violence, as a global war broke out.

Just because an invention is used for war doesn’t mean it required one to be invented.

Thanks for taking the time and putting all those points together. I see the con's and I am sure, that's nothing what we're especially looking forward to. But especially the pro's got totally eroded over here. At least from my point of view. There is hardly any reasonable equality, the social divide is IMO mostly based on that. Low crime and violence ... once was. We live in one of the "better" parts of Berlin, nevertheless I fear the day, we have to send our son to a public school. Education was good, became worse but is not catastrophic yet. Getting a university degree is (nearly) free and that's fine. Still, the level of real education in public schools beforehand is getting worse and worse. Social safety net does not exist for me being self employed but the "last resort" Hartz4. I still agree on sensible regulations and the med system.

I might paint a too dark picture, but that's what I've experienced in the last 20 years, and those things are the drivers behind our plans to leave the country. However, your points are a great source of information for everyone who might consider leaving the country. Thanks a lot.

> I can definitely imagine a lot of the families that have a crossover / smaller SUV now deciding to go with a sedan like the model 3. It has all the cargo storage they need and has the power / AWD they are used to.

I think you are right that some people on the margins may step down instead of staying flat or going up given features like frunk space (although model Y sales are beating 3 sales despite the reduced range and increased price), but AWD models of the 3 still weigh more than many AWD crossovers. Stepping down means a huge hit to total cargo volume and cargo height moving to a passthrough trunk vs a cargo area, and you also lose ground clearance that people think they will need for their yearly camping trip.

American car purchases have been trending bigger and bigger and I don't think a frunk and fast 0-60s is enough to buck that trend.

Hahaha... Reminded me an old, Soviet-era Russian that joke goes like this:

A bunch of farmers gather around the village club for what previously was announced as "a big shot professor comes all the way from the city to present a lecture titled 'what is love...'"

The professor goes on the stage and sets up the equipment; there's a projector beam; people are excited; he starts talking: "There are different types of love..."

The audience: "Slides... show us some slides!"

Professor keeps talking. "There's love between a man and a woman..."

The audience: "Any slides there?..."

Professor: "And sometimes, there's love between two women..."

The audience: "What about slides?..."

Professor: "Sometimes, there's love between men..."

Someone shouts: "Slides, please..."

Professor: "And of course, sometimes we feel this deep, profound love for our motherland. And now, I'll show you some slides..."
So just to clarify your mind hack is turning it back on itself?

Since you can't finish easy tasks, that becomes the challenge, therefore you make yourself finish it and it becomes interesting again because suddenly what was 'easy' in your mind you made yourself realise that it only counts if you finish it and you usually don't so the challenge is to be someone that finishes that stuff?

> The notion of hate speech is not unique for Western culture.

Of course not. But you are using it as a weapon agains Western culture, trying to trigger it into self-harm. Not because you care about Western values and not promoting hate, but because you see a vulnerability that you could exploit - tell somebody "it's hate speech" and they'd run in panic. Except the trick is now obvious, so it won't work.

> Article 282 in Russian Criminal Codex

Oh the lovely 282, how we all adore it. Of course totalitarian dictatorship that rules Russia now will suppress speech, and 282 is where it started (now there are more, of course, it never stops). Only then it was "extremist" speech. I don't need to read TASS (blergh! these guys actually kept SS in their name - all you need to know about them, really) to know about 282, thank you very much. But nobody here cares about 282. You can not deploy 282 here to suppress speech you don't like. So you call it "hate speech" instead, hoping to solicit culture war reaction that you know exists in the West and thus avoid discussing the real issues.

> firing missiles into population centers, but they are. Their reasons for doing so appear more complicated than mere evil.

From what I heard, they do this because their whole way of fighting was designed around land wars with neighbors which is where huge quantities of artillary and "dumb" rockets are cheap enough to transport by land but have to flatten large areas to be effective. In contrast, the US fights mostly overseas so they want more mobile weapons which also means more efficiently targetted. And now we have a convenient "moral" idea that precision weapons are good and broad-desctruction weapons are "bad". That moral just happens to favor the west, today. It wasn't like that back in WWI and WWII so back then, westeners didn't care about such morality - they wouldn't be able to place themselves on top.

Whenever people start making moral judgements based on ideas like war crimes, human rights, or terrorism, I feel they're blinded by the fact that these concepts conveniently favor western countries and their capabilities so it suits us to think they're what makes a country "good".

The lesson missing is;

community building requires curation tools

Clubhouse added many features to encourage growth & adoption, but not one easy UX for curation

When I would visit the apps there was no quick and easy way to “mute” the algorithm where content was being surfaced that I didn’t want

Consequently my notifications were useless & I turned them off

Which intrigues me greatly, because no-one in my immediate family knows their blood type.

Our middle child had Covid in March (infected at his school) and promptly gave it to my wife. He spent 10 days at home as he kept testing positive, she spent almost as long. Despite the rest of us taking no precautions whatsoever within our home, the other three of us were not infected.

Then our eldest child had Covid in May (over half his school class were positive around that time), and he promptly gave it to me.

The (ex-)scientist in me would now like to have our blood types checked!

No. If you're in such an organization, anybody on any team should be able to read the code and discover how the bookkeeping is done and locate bugs therein.
