>If you ever have a friend or family member who is trying to get around wetland conservation laws, they are contributing to the shrinking of our river systems.

If you ever read/hear a statement like this you can safely ignore it because nobody with any second or even third hand exposure to the true vastness of the scope of wetland conservation laws would say such a thing.

Somebody's little construction project to replace their 25x30 cabin on a lake in the woods with one that's 24x32 isn't material in this context no matter how hard people may dishonestly try to imply otherwise. Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of cases of "skirting conservation laws" are cases of people who want to do a nearly like for like replacement of some existing thing that didn't need permission when it was done 40-140yr ago and don't want to pay some guy with a license thousands of dollars for the privilege of a stamped drawing.
>"If someone can't tell what the hell you actually look like or get a good feel for your real personality then why are they going to be interested?"

You're absolutely right that most men could stand to improve their profiles. However in the article the writer mentions how the photos she saw seemed designed to fit some template of what is supposed to be attractive, and that she was a little wary of how professional they appeared, so this can go both ways. Overall, though, it seems far better to have higher quality photos even if they appear staged.

One of the biggest challenges, however, is that the nature of these apps means that to 'get a good feel for your real personality' people must somehow get that across in only a few seconds before the person on the other end swipes on to another profile. With margins like that, and so little to work with, it is daunting and seemingly impossible to try and write something compelling enough to capture attention in a consistent way.
Apple has access to all data it blocks from other ad networks by virtue of you owning an iPhone. It uses this data in its DSP. One effect of Apple locking down privacy was to create a unique monopoly on data for itself and its an advantage it intends to capitalize on.

If they were any good I might agree. But in my experience ad targeting just fixates on things you recently looked up, or actually already purchased. I don't recall ever finding a product through a targeted ad that I didn't already know about.
AWS gets many things more right, but I think GCP wins on how they handle Projects and Managed Instance Groups for auto-scaling.

Treatment follows diagnosis, "omnipotent barrier" is a shallow diagnosis. Once the nature of the barrier is known, solution should be fairly obvious.
Seems like there's cash to be made here - find a bullshit blockchain project (not too difficult - finding the opposite is the difficult bit), collect evidence, resign at the first sign of criminal activity, blow the whistle and enjoy a share of the resulting fine.
It's because Germany screwed up.

The US has long enough told the EU, specifically Germany, to ditch Russian gas and direct 2% of their GDP towards their militaries/NATO. Did Merkel listen? No. Only Poland and to some extent Romania listened. France already had the most capable military in the EU.
I really think this is what happened to Christy Giles and Hilda Marcela in LA last year. Who were dropped off unconscious outside of two separate hospitals, by a car with license plates removed, and died.

People that look up to someone are always like "Noooo, my role model wouldn't be doing cocaine to begin with, how dare you suggest that!" and unless you know how common that actually is, you don't see how the rest unfolds. People wanted to believe that this married woman, whose husband was out of town that weekend, was out with her girlfriend and they were both roofied at a party and a predatory man took them to their house and did all these heinous things. Most of that narrative disintegrated over time but there are still issues that the public doesn't understand and justice system don't really reveal. Especially around what you said about the host.

It's more clear that they went to the afterparty to do cocaine (which even w/o fentanyl is often not coke, hence the toxicology reports), it was tainted by the supplier leading to another fentanyl overdose, the hosts panicked. The hosts concocted that ghost car hospital plan, eventually got caught, various women with varying degrees of scorn over their whole life come out of the woodwork solidifying people's disdain, and off to prison they go!

The hosts though had exact the choice you mentioned... they waited 12 hours on this issue with their overdosed popular guests. But they also had to weigh the issue of snitching on their drug dealer! Potentially even worse than taking the full force of being a social pariah and prison time!

All of this occurring because we can't have an honest discussion about what commonly occurs! Because people don't have test strips on the ready, or don't have Narcan and don't know how to use it even if they know to suggest it. Because we don't address drug supply by fixing the supply chain.
One of the things I love most about google cloud is that "projects" are easy to create and easy to link to other projects.

Roles and service accounts can even reference across projects, though I'm not sure I'd recommend doing that.

No more faffing about with special accounts, passwords and difficult to configure shared VPCs, it all becomes so easy.

Even managing the different accounts is difficult without browser extensions such as this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aws-extend-switch-...
Interior AI autofills photo of room with CG furniture/art
So if even 99.9999% of pings were <5ms, but one was 40ms, you'd define that link as a 40ms experience?
I've thought about going down that path, and I still might, but at the moment I'm very frustrated by the state of hardware and general support for a lot of the user and privacy respecting options to the point where it's hard to believe it'll actually be worth my time to try to get something like that set up.
I laughed (affectionately) when I saw image maps. That was a real 1997 moment.
Im guessing, it was just short-sightedness and unjustified optimism - "it wasn't a problem until then, so it probably won't be in the future!". The Arabs did the same thing to the US in the 1970ies, US was as unprepared back then.
Huh, I've been using privacy.com and had no idea about this. Thanks! Keeping the blast radius of leaked billing info to privacy.com instead of a myriad of merchants sounds like a good deal.

Ancient woodland has a soil ecosystem that is impossible to replicate. So even if native trees are planted it is not the same.
I think another way to look at it is: value exchange.

What do I get in exchange for what I share. To me, learning about new products and services from companies that I don't already have an existing relationship with is far more valuable than the data shared. I want the inventor of a better mouse trap to reach out to me and let me know of their product.

It's painful how widespread this notion of 'nature steals precious water' is, and how quickly the practical implications of such a mindset leads to further destruction.

The municipality where I live have an annual cycle of doing things like:

* Scraping away every fallen leaf to be burned
* Removing all twigs, branches and dead wood
* Burning or spraying down all weeds
* Cutting the grass, even in places no one walks
* Aggressively cutting down bushes

Every year the soil gets drier, compacts and washes away when rainfall comes in the spring and turns our parks into giant mudslides.

Next year they spend hundreds of thousands trying to replant and reseed, only to lose it again in the words of 'maintenance'.

Meanwhile, our smaller community decided to do the complete opposite:

* Faux-compost everything (grass cuttings, leaves, twigs, weeds) by literally just throwing it into a pile and forgetting about it
* Mulch everything with said compost
* Let (non-invasive) weeds take over areas that were previously barren
* Not trim down bushes before winter

In nearly two seasons now, we've gone from watching a slow depressing death of what used to be a wonderful garden before the droughts started in ~2018, to a garden that is even more impressive and seems to grow stronger every year. We now have more birds than ever, as insects have started to bounce back.

We're doing 1/10th of the work as our neighboring communities, and we're getting as good if not better results.

I wish more people approached gardening/landscaping with this water-harvesting, nature mimicking way. It's cheap, takes extremely little resources and demonstrates how incredibly strong an ecosystem can be if you just work with it rather than against it, even on a small scale.
That's true, but the Iced theme that they're showing in the images looks like it would be very difficult to recreate in GTK and Qt. That's not mentioning the increased amount of time and effort in maintaining those themes. Perhaps this is an area that the community will contribute to though.
It’s Apple, so any critique draws attention.

Long game, a successful Apple ad business creates bad incentives and is likely bad for customers. As evidenced by the AppStore really being a front door for the worst kind of skinner-box gaming, Apple will choose cash over any overriding principle.
Sorry but that's also useless until we know whose lives are in danger and who is an obstacle to their lives being in danger.

Because if the motivation is to save lies, why would you keep that information secret?

Maybe you can ask your friends if they have something more precise and more useful that their ego being hurt?

That could be for example "people who have a tendency to do depression are at a higher risk of suicide because Facebook has been optimizing user engagement like a psychopath".

Now yes I would be interested because that looks like an area where you can have a meaningful positive effect in the real world.
I doubt they'd get along and I think the fault would be more on the monkeys side than the cats.
"frivolous goods"

Sure, if the good or service is actually frivolous, but what about the case where the human is actively searching for some good or service that offer some actual value?
Thank you! It's exactly that: basically you don't need to keep an additional MongoDB instance if you already use and maintain a Postgres server somewhere.

I translate the JSON-based query interface into the corresponding SQL statements, leveraging the excellent JSON support that PostgreSQL offers.
What makes you think Apple isn't doing the same? They were involved in PRISM as well. Honestly, I really doubt Apple could continue to do business without being at least somewhat porous to law enforcement and government snooping (maybe better than others but definitely not stiff-arming them).
Of all the problems you listed, only the "colonel" is ~unique to Brazil. Every single one of the others is something a country of any size has also faced, and solved, without introducing black boxes into the system.

The claim is that solar can't work in cold climates. That's demonstrably untrue.

(The original upthread post also said renewables, not just solar, so the objections are doubly silly.)
Let's skip any further unproductive back-and-forth's.

Is it your opinion that we should ensure Russia loses in Ukraine, up to and including a direct nuclear exchange?

If your answer is "no" then you are tacitly accepting a possible scenario where Ukraine loses territory and we let it happen.

If your response is something along the lines of "it won't come to that":

It turns out you can't surely achieve the outcome of your rhetoric by adhering to the constraints of your policy. So which one gives first? What outcome are you willing to live with in reality, stripped of the rhetoric and cheerleading? Ukraine losing some territory or a direct engagement with Russia with a significant likelihood of nuclear war?

If you're unwilling to do a worst-case analysis of your proposed policy, then it is clear you're an unserious interlocutor and only engaged in propaganda and cheerleading.
I believe it’s more like 90%.

You've misunderstood the problem we're trying to solve.

Right now, N companies have N partial records of my identity, with varying ages and accuracy levels. Company A has my name and phone number, company B has my email and name and my previous phone number, company C has a copy of my driver's license from two years ago, etc. N partially accurate versions of my identity, floating around, getting bought and sold and merged together with buggy perl scripts, forever. Notaries do nothing to solve this.

Whence comes this fear? How would the government having an accurate list of the citizenry, and storing a key for you so you can attest your identity, intrude on your life? Doesn't having to scan a copy of your ID and send it to your [bank/insurer/crypto account/hosting company/employer/etc] intrude on your life more?

I admire the nerdly way you've framed this question, but nightclub dancing doesn't work that way. Performers on stage or in videos have choreographed dance sequences, but people dancing in clubs just move to the beat, any old way they feel like.

When I started going to clubs, I fell back on the ballroom dance steps I'd learned in my teens. That was sort of overkill, but it gave me something to think about until I conquered my anxiety. Just move your feet to the beat, keep your upper body relaxed, and don't think about it too much - nobody else is!

If you keep dancing you will develop more of a vocabulary over time. Watch what other people do, maybe add a little of that flavor to your own motion. Then shut your eyes and see what feels good. Don't take it too seriously.
It was restricted to that for the time being yes. But still a big step in the wrong direction. I don't want my own phone spying on me. It's a bridge too far. Scanning on a cloud service is a very big difference.

Does it matter in practice? No. But it makes me feel very different about it. That's important too.
when I am on a kiteboarding forum I prefer to see ads that are relevant to kiteboarding and not ads for hand mixers just because I looked at or bought one last week.

I also think targeted ads are really bad for society in general. They have incentivized the building of companies that have created massive surveillance and manipulation systems on a scale nobody would have dreamt of some decades ago. Think about Stalin or Hitler having the datasets Google or Facebook have built up and how they could have used them. I can't see anything good about targeted advertising unless you buy into the vision that people's only purpose in life is to buy things.

There was a redirect issue... removed it. Now its working
It could have access, but so far all of these articles calling Apple out haven't cited a single shred of evidence that Apple has replaced the previous invasive fingerprinting by third parties with their own. If nothing else, the quality of the ads you see from Apple would indicate they gather less, not more, than most advertisers. I mean, I see ads for Apple products I already own, or services I already subscribe to.
Is there any way to block Apple's own ads today?

I wonder if Apple will also try to prevent that or will just figure it's a small enough number that allowing it will help them with the nerds. Informally, when I see something on someone else's device, ad blocking doesn't appear to be popular. I can't imagine using the web without it.
> an embeddable Linux VM with Postgres installed, which runs inside a browser.

Wow! I feel like this is the lede. How much work was done supporting the VM and OS privatives (eg networking) vs PG specific work? I feel like a minimal Linux in the browser opens up a LOT more opportunities than just a database.

When figma got bought out, a lot of articles were written about “where’s the wasm applications”, and I feel like throwing Linux into a browser really shows potential. One commenter already wondered if it could be used to compile microcontrollers (so creative, i now want that too), I wonder if it can be used similar to Repl.it, with packaging test environments.

To be very, very clear, I would LOVE a write up about just the linux portion of this interesting project.
