> gorhill's comments here indicate many issues remain with MV3 and that it still fails to meet his own requirements.

How do you figure? Gorhill actually states that there are many improvements only possible because of V3. What's also said is that for some features in the future there's further investigation required. And the last thing said in that comment is:

> Many users of uBO will dislike the limitations of uBOL when compared to uBO. There is no point complaining about it, it's just not for you, it's meant for another kind of users -- you do not have to use it.[..] but I want to offer an option for those who use uBO as an install-and-forget blocker without ever interacting with it.

I think you're kind of mischaracterizing the comment.
> It has a block of text, whose purpose isn't clear at the beginning [1], and requires you to read the entire comment

Nah. It makes you think, I personally like to practice the art of thinking, of making connections between seemingly unconnected things, like Socrates and push buttons. Try to guess the point of a big comment by a first few sentences. And here I guessed right, that it would be about dangers of writing. But it was easy here, because letters are mentioned in a third sentence with emphasis: "and, most important of all, letters."

> its thick prose
> Can you elaborate on what you think we gain from making everyone read 6x as much with no indication of what the actual point is?

I force myself to read thick prose sometimes, it is a way to practice attention and an ability to understand others. Maybe it was the reason why it was easy to me to guess the point of the comment?

But no one is forced to read it. For example, it seems to me you didn't read it through. I didn't read it. I read first few sentences, and skimmed to the end, to ensure that my guess is right.

> Advantages:

You are silently assume that a clarity and the ease of consumption is among of the top priorities. But it may not be so. Didn't you think that a comment about letters can be composed in a thick and hard to comprehend prose on a purpose to make some point about letters (that are supposed to be easy)? And about buttons too (that are supposed to be easy too)? I do not see what this point may be, but it could be because I'm too stupid to see it.

If anyone has Lexis I’d love to know if there’s any caselaw on the intersection of the right to make backups vs the anti-circumvention provisions. One could certainly argue that making a lawful backup isn’t a circumvention.

I love my Boox so much. And the Remarkable has a lot of potential and is a beautifully designed device. But if anyone is going to be able to make this category more mainstream, it is Amazon. Also looking forward to the hacks that will come to it if there are enough users.
I really tried to give Firefox a go last week because of the threat of losing UBlock Origin.

I almost committed, but there is a many-years-old bug in Firefox that they haven't fixed which won't let you use alternate audio devices for webrtc, which made it so I couldn't use google meet with my headphones.
In a past year I've switched to firefox and only use chrome for work-related stuff. It's quickly becoming a new IE
But if you're not experiencing a problem with it..?

Fair enough if you have a compatibility bug it might fix maybe it's worth a shot, but until/unless that happens it's not that compelling is it?
Why aren't you saying something like this to the comment I responded to? They posted inflammatory nonsense, and I responded with a factual refutation.

> The apps are actually mostly identical from experience.

What's bizarre is that the YouTube app on a Google Android TV is markedly worse than YouTube on the Apple TV. For example, switching Google accounts doesn't work properly and takes more clicks even when it works!

Similarly, subtitles in several apps in Google Android TV have eye-searing maximum HDR white brightness, and this cannot be altered. The NetFlix app for example has this issue. On Apple TV the NetFlix app subtitles use a normal level of brightness.

The Google TV UI is 1080p upscaled to 4K so it is blurry. It's also so dark that it is difficult to see during the daytime. This cannot be adjusted. The Apple TV interface in comparison is gorgeous.

My impression is that Google doesn't have a single employee in their entire organisation that cares about product quality or consumer needs in any sense. They just want to control televisions to shove their ads down your throat. They have no business interest in anything else. The second they achieved control and could start selling ads, the mission was accomplished. The rest doesn't matter.

Expecting anything else at this point is a lot like a battered wife saying "deep down he loves me".
But that's the part that I'm not getting - it's either AWS or building storage shelters and tape robots.

There are hosting providers like Hetzner that will rent you bare metal machines so you don't have to deal with actual hardware, their networking is basically unmetered (last I checked), they will also sell you spot VMs, blob storage service, etc. The pricing difference is in integer multiples and much less "gotchas" or lock-in (they are usually dumbed down).

They won't sell you fancy SAAS - but the ammount of fiddling required to get most of AWS services working in practice and debugging it - you're not very far off from using the OSS solution they are reselling - chances are your devops/sysadmin team can do that as well.

And there's plenty cloud agnostic SAAS as well.

I mean if you're a big corp that can accept the inefficiency for the sake of having one bill to pay at the end of the month, SLA you can use to cover your ass to higher ups and have the "nobody got fired for picking AWS" mentality I get it. But for startups and small companies ? All this "magical simplicity" that AWS/Azure/GCP is supposedly brining to the table - I'm not seeing it. Real redundancy (across AZ) is still really hard and requires extensive planning - no magic there. Dynamic scaling "savings" is often offset by being multiples more expensive to begin with and I have to deal with warmup issues, and the pricing is sneaky/unpredictable, easy to fuck up. Lambda architecture is pushing towards distributed microservices by default - the hardest thing to debug in practice.

So end of the day, I'm forced to work around arbitrary pricing models rather then technical limitations, debugging opaque black box services, not being "big enough" to get actual support, overly generic/complex systems built as "one size fits all" solutions, or get sold in to practically abandoned "service" because it's available etc.

And it's not like being first party service is any indication of quality - as soon as you move off of the most used stuff you get to see some really shit services in my experience.

You make this sound easy. It isn't.
Yes. You have to be searching the area where the plane crashed though. So far they have only searched the area where the plane did not crash. Uncertainty in the final minutes of flight have contributed to making the job of locating any wreckage very difficult. The ocean is large and deep and finding something as small as a passenger jet is hard unless you can narrow the search area.
I guess you feel that you're speaking for some imagined group who demands digestible, workmanlike prose at all times. I guess I'll speak up for the others?

Frankly, fully rewriting someone's comment and including a 9-item list of what you think are advantages comes across as more than a little intense.
Unrelated anecdote.

A couple years ago, a discussion over the cyberdeck trend and how people intentionally make them anti-ergonomic, led me to I run 'sed s/deck/plug/g' on the text of the Sprawl Trilogy as a joke.
> they believe sex work is fundamentally risky and leads to abuse

More like they believe sex work is inherently immoral and therefore sex workers deserve abuse.
While the orders of magnitude here are evocative, it's worth noting that Apple has a pervasive culture of "we deserve our cut of any transaction that goes through any of our platforms, and we will (mis)use our power to enforce that" stemming from when Jobs had to bring the company back from the brink of bankruptcy. See current battles on allowing alternative payment processors in iOS apps (to the point that even when ordered by courts to allow them, they added a 27% commission on alternate payment processors)

Apple is rapidly running out of growth room in new physical people to sell phones to, and is starting to significantly switch focus to new ways of extracting rent from existing customers through "services" and similar.

It's really nice to see all these people and hardware in photos, great website which I will show to friends and family.

My only gripe: Why include fiction, like Asimov's laws of robotics, or Robby the Robot? There are plenty of real life milestones to cover.
I think it's pretty absurd that this is the level of discourse on this subject. "pure evil" and "just a cash grab" aren't substantive criticisms, nothing in your post is actually informational.

The reality is that ad blockers will continue to work to a significant extent that they do today. Engage with that, put some information with merit into your posts.
I can't think of a single high-profile launch in the last 5 years that wasn't riddled with bugs.
Interesting thought piece. Hard to really agree that things are problems without any idea of solutions.

It really just reads like the author discovered what Marshall McLuhan was onto.

TL;DR the content isn't important, the medium is.

I still personally think books are the highest quality material you can have in your information diet given how long they take on average to create AND consume.
Y'know that's really funny.I often refer to the way lambdas only capture final variables as an example of the absolute brilliance of Java's language design. Rather than a poor consideration I think it's a hallmark of how the obvious choice would be the worse choice in language design.

It a) preserves a principled confinement that the local scope provides, and b) removes all ambiguity around variables across lambdas, assignments inside or outside a closure before or after a stack frame collapses.
The key takeaway is that what you are currently evaluating as a neutral, logical, science-based way of looking at the world is actually based on very specific philosophical and epistemological ideas that are ironically not themselves based on any kind of scientific approach per se. There's only a small portion of our lives that is actually lived on the basis of the scientific method and rigorous experiments, and this is not due to lacking as-of-yet-undiscovered material, so rejecting anything that does not employ the method as a source of knowledge or claiming that it's all relative is already a very curious position.

The STEM-bro/SWE/HN/LessWrong/Sam Harris mindset is hyperspecific in its cultural conclusions and it doesn't come to those through experiments but by making prescriptive claims just like any philosopher. This isn't just an academic problem, but something that has real practical consequences when it comes to living in a society dominated by FAANGs and other such structures.
The Hierarchy Is Bullshit
As one of the chairs of the Open Metaverse Interoperability Group and a member of the Metaverse Standards Forum, "metaverse" is a term with a ton of baggage and not one we really like to use internally at Matrix. However, it's also the one people know the most right now :( Multi-user interoperable virtual worlds doesn't quite flow off the tongue and immersive-web or wider-web haven't really caught on outside a developer audience. Maybe cyberspace will make a comeback?

Also, more importantly we don't believe in "a metaverse" in the same way we don't say "an internet". There's only one "metaverse". Open and interoperable should be baked into the definition. Matrix can play one part of it.
How to decide is the question.

If you're a CTO, do you trust your person A or B? If you're not technical what do you base it on? What are you judging?

Are you judging based on their personality? The number of brownbag talks? The feedback from peers?

What you want is for someone to know how things work. And if they don't know, know what to ask. You want someone who's done it before. They have to be technical.

You want your chief of plumbing to know how to plumb. You don't want them to just be familiar with plumbing. If so, the next thing you know a good salesperson will talk them into replacing all the pipes with new wonder-pipes with space-age wonder-clamps.
Well, the name certainly fits.

But once you DeDRM in Calibre, it’s literally one click to convert it to ePub. My workflow for removing DRM from all my Kindle books is literally to just use Calibre, the plugins and then convert. It takes the exact amount of time it would take for using a Kobo device.

Side-loading ePub on Kindle is now a thing btw with the personal document system. So you can literally just email files to your Kindle address.
I think the assumption that literature complexity must have been incremental is flawed. Complex oral tradition could have led directly to complex story-telling literature. All it would take is someone writing it down.

Unfortunate. The title led me to believe I'd be reading an interesting discussion regarding this fairly unprecedented occurrence.

Instead, a cess pool of conspiracy laden incels using phrases like "genital frostbite" to describe what it's like in Germany and the rest of Europe after the Russian invasion.

What particular hardware are you talking about? What good is AOSP when most of the firmware is closed sourced.
"...take apart things to put them together but it doesn't surprise me why lots of people have all the creativity and curiosity purged from them from an early age."

You're right, encouraging kids to explore the world at an early age is all important for their development. As a kid I was a past master at pulling all sorts of things apart and somewhat less successful at putting them back together again. And from that I learned a great amount about how stuff worked ('hands-on' at a very young age I reckon is essential to get the feel and measure of stuff).

My parents never discouraged me from playing with all sorts of rather strange things—except perhaps in my preschool years when I started rummaging around amongst the inner workings of our large console radio set in the lounge room. At the age of about four or five my mother took exception after I discovered that touching the top cap [aka grid-1] of one of its valves (tubes) caused a very loud humming noise (she came bounding into the room somewhat alarmed to find No.-1 son arm-deep amongst the electrics).

By that age I'd already become an inveterate collector of junk—everything from screws, nuts and bolts to discarded power pole wire and insulators.

Once I found an old transformer out of a radio set that had green silk-like insulation on its windings (which I found fascinating) and in the evening when my parents told me to stop playing with it I disobeyed the order and hid it in my bed (I know, a very strange kid). Now, you can imagine the furore and trouble I was in when this large metal object came crashing to the floor in the early hours of the morning waking up the whole household.

I cannot envisage how horrible my childhood would have been had my parents forbidden me from following my natural instincts (as strange and as odd as they may have seemed).

I'm sure many other parents would have been much less tolerant of my strange predilections. In hindsight, I reckon my only saving grace was that my father was an engineer.
Isnt there IMAP IDLE?

Not entirely sure of the details. Why is that not usable?
More interesting is genetic connections between people at the tip end of South America and Australians.

This is usually explained as their common ancestor being the first to enter and populate the Americas. Then, subsequent waves displaced and diluted them except at the extremum of their range.

That probably means the first wave crossed not long after people got to Australia, and maybe via a similar route, i.e. island hopping, at least 50,000 years ago.

They count four major waves of migration into the Americas, not counting any that left no mark.

It seems Google (or maybe just some of the employees?) derive pleasure from taking things that were working just fine and then breaking them so my life is harder.

It's almost a yearly occurrence at this point -- some thing that, once upon a time in the past I spent effort on configuring so that I could have a happy experience with my computer, will now be announced deprecated forcing me to comply with some new edict from on high with absolutely no benefit for me.

Please stop doing this. Stop "fixing" things. I'm an engineer too, I know building new things is fun, but there is also honor in maintaining well functioning things and not making other people's lives unnecessarily hard.

I bet that, now that I finally have mutt working again with Google's newest incarnation of authentication, there's a team within Google excited about breaking it in 2 years.
Well they found a MechE not an EE.

They also made them do it standing up with an awkwardly shaped bulb, and only a single wire, so the task was basically impossible, without a cutter and/or some tape.

Still, people should know why they are failing.

Of course, they are being caught out of context and are guessing the "rules" of the "game".

> I see a future where you cannot cook your own food unless you've become a professional specialist of cooking (for food safety).

This has already happening to some degree in the US, in the sense that one has to follow a lot of food safety practices in order to keep from getting violently ill eating food sold in a grocery store. The best example being the poultry industry.

Instead of our government requiring chicken farms control salmonella (which is required of European farmers), the poultry industry has convinced both the government and the consumer that it's totally cool to shift things to "you didn't cook your chicken properly so it's your fault that you got salmonella." Processed chicken in the US is washed in chlorine because there's so much salmonella and it would spoil the chicken between the packing plant and consumer's fridge.

Similarly, eggs sold in the US can't be stored outside the refrigerator because they've been washed to attempt to control salmonella; the washing destroys the egg's natural protective barrier.

We can't eat vegetables bought in a grocery store without washing them; otherwise we might get e.coli, because corporate megafarms refuse to provide proper sanitation for field workers and use enormous field sizes in order to eek out as much profit as they possibly can. Yet again: it's your fault you got e.coli because you didn't wash your vegetables well enough, not the fault of the farms and distributors and grocery stores for selling you unsafe food.
