I am not arguing they dont work, quite the contrary, what i am focused on here is how they work.

And that is always through changing the behavior of market participants. There is no other angle or lever to pull, that is all the economy is, peoples behavior. The distinction between tricking people with a fake currency and real policies like a balanced budget is meaningless in this context because they work the exact same way. Both give reasons for a reduction in Inflation expectation. You can argue that its justified (or real) in one case and not in the other but i dont see the point.

The general concept is, IMO, deceiving.

Making ads optional is often suggested, sometimes tried, and there aren't many success stories. Most successful combinations of ad/payment commercial strategies aren't customer choice scenarios.

Most subscription papers made more on ads than subscriptions, but subscribership made ads sell at a premium. The stable revenue is nice too. Ryanair clones use advertising as within their get-an-extra-penny ethos. Buses and such do the same.

A lot of people seem to like the theory of paid opt-out... but that doesn't seem to be a thing.

SpaceX and Blue Origin were nowhere near where they are today in terms of launch capacity, reliability, or reuse.

The fact you're referencing "did they fix the defect from Challenger in 1986" tells me what I need to know.
hard to tell with the link to the preprint missing.
There's an interesting (and in my view very poorly grounded in factual basis) common law (caselaw) doctrine called Rule of Capture which applies in at least some jurisdictions concerning various "wild and migratory" resources, including both wild animals and mineral resources, with notable case history involving both groundwater (see Pecos County Water District #1 vs Clayton Williams et al (1954), concerning Stockton, TX) and petroleum and natural gas.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_capture>

I'd written up the Stockton, TX, case at Reddit: <https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/5w1zw3/rule_of...>

I'd submitted an article some years back that's one of the few I've found even discussing the principle:

<https://www.texasobserver.org/playing-by-the-rule/>

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18005310>

What's fascinating to me are a few elements of this rule:

- It's effectively an argument from ignorance, with a key element being that the behaviours of these resources is not and cannot be known. Increasingly, both premises are now false, but significant case law still stands. One specific being a Texas Supreme Court ruling, Houston & Texas Central Railroad Co. v. East (1904). I've been unable to acquire a copy of this and would very much like to do so.

- The principle has exceedingly interesting implications over just what "property" is, and where property rights emerge. Given the centrality of this principle to virtually our entire present economic system and technological civilisation, this seems ... important.

- There's been some movement against Rule of Capture, and in particular, the concepts of unitised production (concerning oil and gas in Texas) and "certificates of clearance" (instituted by the US Department of Interior under Harold Ikes), both in or around 1931. National producers (notably Saudi Arabia) have instituted their own novel solution through a family-owned / nationalised oil industry But so far as I'm aware, the principle still stands as valid caselaw.

And, incidentally, you're correct on the airspace issue, see US v. Causby (1946) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Causby>. I was interested in the other elements discussed above.
For the last one, make sure it's not on your end. I've seen order tracking HTTP requests be blocked by uBlock Origin simply because the URL contains `/tracking` or something.

How is preventing a person from transferring out their domain + setting it to expire quickly effectively any different from outright cancelling a persons domain immediately? The end result is the same. Sure there is a technical distinction in the WHOIS but I can see how a court could find it to be the same thing in spirit(and thus, a violation of the ICANN-registrar agreement)

Ask HN: Is there a developer laptop that does not suck and is not a Mac in 2022?
Background: I am sick of Apple's terrible customer support in my country. The most recent case was that of my friend who upgraded to a 14 inch Macbook Pro that stopped booting in 7 days. Since there is no return option in 30 days like in other geographies, he took it to Apple's authorised service centre (there are no Apple owned service centres in my country), and they put a big scratch right across the Apple logo. To add to this, Apple's customer support final response after more than a week of wasting his time was they would not be able to replace the display even when my friend sent clear voice recordings of the service centre employees accepting their mistake. He had to take the help of the local police who went with him to the shop to get a written statement that they would be replacing the display too along with the mainboard to fix the primary issue of dead laptop.

I have had my own horror stories in the past 10 years and I do not want to pay another dime to Apple for such pathetic treatment even under warranty.

Are there any other options for someone like me?
AI Creating 'Art' Is an Ethical and Copyright Nightmare
Yeah I tried that. People at the counter laughed "you can't do this here" (we were all right there and delayed by the same amount, why not just hand us the cash? Wire it to the accounts from which we paid the ticket? Sign us up automatically and send us the forms?). Okay, I said, where can I do this then? "On our website probably." Okay I open the website, after navigating a horrible attempt at a mobile site for fifteen minutes I found the form and filled it out. Never heard from them again. Guess I should take them to court now?

Railways (NL, DE) pull the same sort of crap. In NL there is a centralized billing system, they know exactly what path you took and when, so also that you were in the delay. Credit it to your transport card automatically? Nah. You need to fill out paperwork and then get a few euros for missing half of your evening. Germany is even better: whenever there's delays, you see long queues at the service center because (according to my colleague with whom I was there) you need to get something stamped IRL as proof that you were really there during the delay. And the amount you get back is still peanuts.

Incentives like these to be on time don't work. I can't imagine more than a handful of people per trainload/planeload go through the hassle. At least for planes iirc it was a reasonable amount, at least for short delays where you don't have to book an entire holiday around. If you'd get it without a legal battle.
TikTok is no more spyware than any other major internet ad platform, it just happens to use the knowledge it gains to provide you with content you actually want to watch (even if you don't know you do).

Google and Facebook collect the same sorts of information, they just don't use it as much to curate your experience.

Edit: to the downvoters, do you really think that Google and Facebook don't scan images you upload to them, and save drafts of things you type into their views: email or chat window or what have you? Do you really think they're not creating a complex profile of who you are as a person? That's how ads work. "Show this ad to 20-35 year olds in [Area] with [political affiliation] and a hobby of [thing]. You gain that knowledge by reading and tracking _everything_

> On Linux it is as good as it can possibly be for a generic catch all lock

A futex is a 32-bit aligned value, thus it needs 4 bytes. But std::mutex on Linux is 40 bytes, ten times larger. Now, maybe where you come from "ten times larger than it needs to be" is "as good as it can possibly be" but where I come from that's not very good.
It's hard to believe anything of real value can be communicated in such a constrained format, but would you care to share any tiktoks that are actually worth risking a hugely time-wasting addiction for?

Misleading title; more accurate would be “Surcharge intended for automated scrapers is accidentally applied to customers who use ad blockers”

Still stupid, but a different kind.
What's interesting is when I booked the tickets, half way through the purchase journey I got a popup saying "Are you human?" with a reCAPTCHA to verify that I was human. They still tried to charge me £10 at the end for a "System Surcharge".

Your comment reminds me how asinine some Designs orgs have become at companies. Basically chasing fashion statements and demanding Engineers “just do it” with little consideration to the development, maintenance, and testing costs.

Modern development, at some companies, can truly feel regressive at times.
I used to work for an airfare marketing company. We would get our 3rd party scripts onto an airlines booking engine to be able to run our own analytics and gather data for ads. We'd mainly collect things like prices, number of available seats, etc, because it turns out airlines can't really give you those answers through an API without it costing too much, so we piggybacked on real customer searches.

Almost no one in the office ran adblockers, which was weird to me. When our analytics traffic dropped by like 50% one day, I was the only one to notice that our domain made it onto EasyList.

I created a GH issue about it, had a productive chat with a maintainer about what data we collected, and which data they thought was PII. If we wanted our domain unblocked we could remove the PII data from the requests, or create a secondary domain that only received the non-PII data.

We were gathering data that was not legally considered PII by something like GDPR, but I understand why an adblocker would be even more strict than the legal minimums. I brought this up with the executives and instead they tried to threaten the maintainers of the block list and tried to educate them on how "technically this isn't personally identifiable data according to this legal spec".

The maintainers stopped responding (rightfully so) and our data collection was forever halved.
> The ontological problem of "does the knife cut the cucumber" or "does the cucumber get cut with the knife" seems serious.

Kinda both! The knife (aka: the "Cutter") can perform a "Cut" action on any object (aka: the "Cutable"), but the Cutable objects have to receive the Cut action and determine if the Cutter has enough "Cutter.Strength" to Cut the Cutable.

I think the failure of OOP is applying it to things that aren't appropriate or creating a Factory pattern that causes over-abstraction. OOP in itself isn't bad, much like PHP or Windows has their place even though they get shit on all the time, but the lack of care applying OOP (or any other pattern or architecture) is the bad part.

Might be valuable if you can monetize the information that this person is looking to travel to certain location at certain time.

While it’s tempting to upvote this in hopes of reducing crowding, I’ve lived in Denver a decade and it’s a highly livable city. There’s neighborhoods that are outsider-popular but actually miserable places to be, like the central business district on weekends, but it’s otherwise an incredibly walkable small city with good nature access, a vastly improved restaurant scene (good luck finding anywhere open past 9pm ten years back), and a general pace of life that prioritizes living over careerism.

The cost of living is certainly high; it’s not a huge discount over most places, though still cheaper than NYC, SF, Boston. And the public schools aren’t consistently great, so you have to search around.

Overall, though, it’s a pretty great place. I wish it were in a country with less terrifying politics, but that’s neither Denver’s fault nor unique worldwide.

Have you checked out AngelScript?

First, perhaps not. In that case, the budget airline mindset kicks in: if some people are willing to pay for something, charge differentially.

However, I wouldn't be so sure that £10 per user isn't the actual value of the ad impressions and data. Users who would pay to opt out of ads aren't a random sample. They're adblock using airline ticket buyers who paid for some sort of premium experience. Could easily be a premium segment.

Advertising is valuable, and that value isn't evenly distributed at all.

I tend to see the reverse. People fume over social networks allowing people in, say, Myanmar to write about alleged events they have no way of verifying with political implications they don't understand in a language they don't understand because people are dying [mostly at the hands of a military that really doesn't care what social media thinks]. Then they get very unhappy if the same social network decides to block obviously mendacious nonsense posted by fellow Americans

Sometimes it's different people making the complaints, but weirdly, sometimes I'm not sure it is...

Correct. Your comment is qualitative handwaving, an armchair speculation that sounds plausible. Is that enough justification to pend off eventual discrimination lawsuits? I personally doubt it.

Very few companies have the analytics maturity to use A/B testing in production to prove your hand-waving assertion without the effect failing sensitivity checks. And by very few, I point to the ones that hire economists and eocnonetricians en masse as having an inkling and trying to work this out in the ad tech space.

> It is common — affecting anywhere from 5% to 50% of people who contract COVID-19

Studies that claim these prevalences either suffer from massive selection bias (e.g. only use COVID cases that were severe enough to end up in health records [0]) or consider even minor symptoms lasting more than a few weeks (like a persistent cough) as “long COVID.”

Upwards of 80% of the US had been infected with COVID as of June 2022 [1]. If serious long-COVID symptoms indeed occurred in 5-50% of COVID cases, that would mean 4-40% of Americans are currently suffering from debilitating long-term illness, which would be obvious on a societal level. We simply do not see this [2].

Do severe long term COVID cases exist? Absolutely, as is the case with other infections, like influenza [3]. But they are nowhere near as prevalent as otherwise reputable publications claim.

Haha, you know what, that's pretty fair.
I seem to remember in the early, halcyon days of Twitter they had quite an open set of APIs (not the same as a protocol, granted.) A rich ecosystem of all kinds of interesting tools and products grew around Twitter, enriching and contributing greatly to Twitter's success.

Then, once they well and truly had critical mass, they closed it off and pulled the ladder up behind them. Very idealistic.
What GPU do you have? The Upscayl README says in big letters:

"NOTE: Upscayl does not work without a GPU, sorry. You'll need a Vulkan compatible GPU to upscale images. CPU or iGPU won't work."

Sure, perhaps a previous version may have worked without a GPU, but this seems surprising given that it uses a GPU-only library for all the heavy lifting.

See for example the Prolog implementation in PAIP:

I just don’t understand that point of view.

Yes, that would be possible, but that would require effort on the counterfeiter's part. Any additional hardware in the drive controller is going to reduce the counterfeiter's profits.
