Doesn't seem to be on the roadmap, as of today.
Try searching for "january 6" on bing for some insight in how results are both manipulated as well as censored:

https://www.bing.com/search?q=january+6

Once you get past page 6 of the 96 200 000 results they keep on repeating the same results, page after page, with either a Guardian (January 6 committee postpones Wednesday hearing over …) or (every now and then) Yahoo (Jan. 6 hearings to resume following bombshell revelation about …) article on top of the page. The rest of the page is largely identical, page upon page until it comes to page 32 (307-316 of 96 200 000 results). Whatever you tell it to do beyond that page it will always serve page 32 with that Guardian article on top and the other - similarly slanted - results below it.

I don't know whether this is just another example of typical Microsoft incompetence in that they make their meddling with the results so incredibly obvious or whether they're just telling visitors this is what they should read and nothing else but it does show these search engines are as unreliable when it comes to politically sensitive topics as e.g. Wikipedia is.
I can not still agree to the usefulness to run this in a WebBrowser at 30MB.
But for running in the backend over a wasm runtime, seems that the use case that make sense for the moment.

Willing to relocate: No

Software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and over ten years of experience in several technologies and programming languages. There are two fields where I mainly act: (1) DevOps; from database administration and data modelling to back-end programming or front-end design all the way to orchestrated deployment with latest tech and (2) Standalone software; involves embedded development in restrict environments, blockchain applications mostly related to Parity's Substrate and plain command-line interfaces.

On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where most public collaborations in the last five years were more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.

Over 40 certified courses have been completed and 10 professional certifications that covers a wide range of areas were obtained from different organizations, e.g., Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Training Alliance. Learning is very important to keep up with both old and new technologies, my newest certification is the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) and more certifications will be earned over time.

In my last work experience I refactored, architected and developed many key parts of a Parachain always aiming for security, readability, robustness and maintainability, which contributed to two successful marketing campaigns. In addition to all this and to finish, I also created and deployed a brand new Relay Chain like Kusama or Polkadot for custom usage and testing.
> all new currency is given to 4500 corporations and those corporations choose how to distribute it

This is not true. You're describing the demand-deposit component of M1 [1]. Below that is M0, i.e. reserves and fiscal policy. One created by the Federal Reserve, the other by elected officials. Above it are marketable securities (M2, the most useful measure of money) and money-market fund assets (M3), a broad and de-centralised set of issuers.

Nice portfolio. Any chance it's open source?
Yes, and yes can become big, but you can scope it to certain processes, function calls, modules, pattern matches, etc, etc. So it's fine if you know what you're doing.

Legend has it that a major cell network was briefly taken offline due to a poorly thought out trace on a production system.

> "Also, being more privacy-friendly than Google and being privacy friendly are two different things."

in theory, that's ok, if we have healthy, functioning markets that are free from undue influence of any individual participant. the "invisible hand" of the market would drive it iteratively toward more privacy (assuming this is valued by more than minor segment, greater than ~15% of the market). the market would (and should) be an ongoing conversation between suppliers and consumers to reach all the profitable corners of supply and demand, rather than a couple behemoths with megaphones telling us how great they are, rather than showing it through their products and practices.

p.s. - has anyone else noticed adguard doing port-scans on your gateway from their dns service IPs? i haven't dug into it yet, so i don't know whether it's spoofed or whatnot.
Peeking int the docs, it reminds me a little bit of Vert-X. What do you think qbout such a statement?
If I use an Apple device then I am clearly using an Apple product and I have a relationship with Apple.

If I use an application then I am clearly using their product and I have a relationship with the application developers.

If that application embeds third-party tracking, I am not clearly doing anything with the third party and I don’t have a relationship with that third party. Therefore Apple requires that the application developers ask for my consent first.

Only one of these needs the user’s consent, and it’s clear why. Apple can act fairly and still hold third-party tracking to a different standard.
Russian displomats demanded denazification of Ukraine. When pressed on the details, they didn't know what it meant.

They can't know because they have a paranoid, ramblish (did you see the recent speech?) geneatric emperror and slave-ish, self desteuctive subservience.

A few years ago, I tried to help out a locally owned gym do an experiment with Google Ad-Words. The place small storefront in a run-down strip mall straight out of the 1960s, but it had very good equipment for people that were in the know and it was 24 hours.

The owner was a nice guy but he relied entirely on word-of-mouth and his technical skills extended to making expletive laced, 128-point-font signs reminding people to put equipment away in Word. I got the sense the business was not going well after a protracted battle with a former business partner, where the business partner just wanted to liquidate the assets and call it a day. He managed to buy the business partner out and continued to operate the place---sans a few treadmills. I decided to try and help him out by volunteering my time and some money to see if a small, targeted ad buy from Google could help him out. It sure beat finding another place like this.

The dashboard made it look very targeted geographically. But, when I investigated where they were all coming from it was 95% international and from affiliates listings from very low quality sites with no information on them. A month and $300 later, I discontinued this experiment because the traffic was entirely bot driven.

From that experience, I've come to the conclusion that online Ad Tech is 99% a scam.
Could it be "eden" was a subtle indicator, as a gendered name?
Strikingly absent from the piece, and in my experience from similar memoirs generally, is an explicit attempt at constructing general or specific theories of mind. Much may be relieved by turning one's conceptual skill to the task of modeling another's experience. This is best done with empathy's aid, which is most difficult to find when fixated on one's own emotions. ("Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.")
That "telemetry" (which is misleading in the current context) was about checking for malware. I'm talking the specific case of launching apps on macOS.
It does once you get to the 4,001st page of the results (which is actually 100k items): "Sorry! We can't process this request. This request exceeds the maximum search results depth." The error page even includes a link to "LC for Robots" (https://labs.loc.gov/lc-for-robots/), a list of APIs, since few humans are going get that far on their own.

The number here also seems less misleading because all 324,782 results do seem to exist. It doesn't want to generate a pagination for the entire set, but you could get to them by choosing different formats, date ranges, collections etc. The number Google repors, as far as I can tell, needs to be taken on faith.
Do you think the Russian armed forces can redeploy from Ukraine (while holding onto their invasion gains there) and launch a successful attack against NATO members?
The energy costs are passed on—a devalued currency doesn’t help here—and same with raw materials imported from elsewhere.
Kagi has been working very well for me as an alternative
> Okay, in that case though, that's purely a Mexico failing to regulate problem.

The point was more of a pointing out the prevalence and the realism of the danger, many Americans do medical tourism, alongside the issue with the street drug issue in the USA.

If you're relying on a "it can't happen here" approach to that specific issue, I think that is also naive.

It is the number one killer 18-45 in US right now. All aspects need to be addressed simultaneously. The accuracy of your observation I think is a football punted in the wrong direction.
yup this is exactly what i remember. 2009 though. guess i am unreliable.

Treating advertisements like tobacco would mean giving the FDA control over what people and read. Definitely a First Amendment problem.
Turbotax sure (includes Canada), but Quickbooks is used globally.
> Or did that just make advertising more inefficient which then led to just more irrelevant ads.

Why should I care about the "efficiency" of the ads I'm being served? It's not my job to help them exploit me.
`details`/`summary` and `progress` have decent default styles in picocss. I was under the impression that these elements were used much more often in "modern" HTML than, for example, `map`/`area` or `object` (yuck!).
But then you know what the knobs were set to?
Conversions should be tracked differently to (and weighted higher than) impressions, though?
Yes - the answer from "Glorfindel" is the important one.

Another way to think about it: when you're inside a web browser, you're using "code".

When you're inside an airplane, or driving a car over a bridge, or at the top of any modern building, you're benefiting from someone having used "codes" to numerically simulate the material properties and dynamic responses of those systems, to increase your safety.
I think that's the model everyone (eg: your average consumer) likes and is most familiar with.

Advertisements on TV are tolerated because it's not targeted and just a random broadcast to everyone who might be interested.

Anxiety that certain things may be used against you in the form of advertising is a very real problem people face. A teenager who is researching transgender topics would be potentially frightened if the TV station the family usually watches that never shows any ads about transgender health suddenly started pushing those kinds of ads and the parents disapproved.

The problem lies in the tracking technology. In order to make informed decisions about what people might potentially be looking to buy includes learning that individual's preferences and the rather unfortunate part of everything being online is that includes everything you could possibly imagine. Everything from the type of job you have right down to your porn preferences and other proclivities are potentially up for grabs and I'm sure the vast majority of people would feel greatly unnerved if Google, Facebook or whoever showed them just what kind of person the algorithms have determined them to be just by the data they've already collected.
>>Gas prices now are around the same levels seen in Q3 2021.

For whom? I'm on a flex tariff for gas, in Q3 2021 was paying about 3p/kWh, now I'm paying 10p/kWh, the price of gas has literally tripled for me and millions of people compared to the same time last year.

So yeah, how are they at the same levels?
Project Loom is in preview, and far from available. As far as I can see, Javalin doesn't make use of virtual threads yet.
It had better. The UK was, for a few years, an oil and gas exporter. Look at it now. The North Sea fields have run down.[1] Fracking bought another decade or so, then the downtrend resumed.

Also, targeted ads can be very useful for small businesses trying to reach their target market.

Untargetted ads tend to be big companies promoting their brand.
First of all, yes I rather get irrelevant ads than being targeted. If you worked in certain industries you know that some advertisers are extremely cynical, and I simply don't want to be in a constant state of mental warfare against these people. This has a real effect on stress and in my opinion is worse than seeing an irrelevant ad. At least I know this ad isn't tracking and profiling me.

There is also the concept of identity, and specifically, who owns your identity. If you are the owner of your own identity, including interests, wants and needs, then no company should be allowed to create a profile of your identity ("shadow profile") without your permission. However, the big ad corporations like Google and Facebook (and recently TikTok) all create shadow profiles for you, like it or not, with or without your consent. Why are they allowed to do this? Should I not be paid if my unique identity is being used and monetized?
But it isn't even a problem that experts don't know how to solve it. We know how to solve this issue. The problem is that at basically every large company someone's bonus is tied to keeping the current status quo. There are all these measures and statistics around ad revenue and spending, but the problem is that a lot of it is naïve and outdated, but nonetheless John's quarterly bonus is tied to a program that is defunct and wasteful, and often these are business people, they are not going to blatantly work against their own interests.

It is like with Google. They have a huge issue with the company spinning up new projects and then abandoning them at the drop of a pin, and it is crystal clear why this happens (people take on impactful[i.e. visible] projects for their promotion packet, but the incentives are for heading a project, not for maintaining it). It isn't a matter of figuring out a solution, the problem is that the problem will persist as long as important stakeholders are financially incentivized to resist change.

Do you think that all "old growth" forest is huge, healthy, high quality trees? In 30-40 years the planted trees will be large enough to harvest again. The cut block is not as large as you assume , that ecosystem will be fine.

Can also highly recommend the translated version!
<object> is supposed to be for exposing modules from hosted runtimes into the host execution-context as, well, objects (in the OOP sense. Or the COM sense, I suppose.)

The original use-case would have been something like: imagine you code a game physics engine in Java, and deploy it as a Java applet. You can embed that physics engine into a page as an <object> — and then consume it as a local API using JavaScript embedded on the same page.

(And yes, this is almost certainly the real reason JavaScript is called "JavaScript." When it was created, it was precisely positioned as a glue language for consuming/driving Java-applet APIs!)

Java-applet-based APIs (and their Windows-proprietary ActiveX cousins) are dead, so there's no real reason to care about <object> any more. As long as the browser knows how to render the media if you navigate directly to its URL, you can just use an <iframe>.

It can get very difficult, especially if it undermines the "trust" in the government.

Could the US government cancel outstanding bonds? Sure. Would it harm sales of future bonds? Yep.

It's much better and easier to just buy them back if the will is there.

Besides the canary-in-a-coal-mine signs of a PLA buildup and other mobilization steps, another issue brought up in the essay was the prospect of a U.S. port blockade. The author did not explain how this would work. Would ships be required, or could it be done with aircraft, land-based missiles, and warnings to potential trade partners and shipping firms?
Wouldn't it be more the opposite? Someone's elsewhere in these comments noting that a screen reader can navigate through the structure of paragraphs much better than blobs of alt text.
