I use these Firefox extensions which provide certain features that are built in on Brave:

- uBlock Origin for general content blocking. Brave's filtering uses EasyList heavily so if those are enabled the results should be similar. Enable a social blocking list to match Brave's social blocking settings.
- CanvasBlocker can get you closer to Brave in anti-fingerprinting at the expense of performance. I don't personally keep it enabled for everyday browsing, but it's there if that's important to you.
- Auto Reader View to automatically enter reader mode like Brave SpeedReader. Difference is you have to enable it per site, which I prefer anyway.
- There are quite a few small Brave QoL features that aren't built in to Firefox, like protecting the ability to copy/paste in text fields and removing URL tracking parameters (Firefox removes some parameters but it's quite limited). For these I like StopTheMadness, which is actively maintained and works on Firefox, Chromium, and Safari. It is paid and Mac-only, however. On other platforms or to get the functionality for free just search the addon store for the stuff you want, for the most part the Firefox addon store has a lot less garbage than Chrome.
- IPFS Companion for IPFS.
- If you use Brave's Tor windows, just get Tor Browser which is Firefox-based and better configured for Tor.
- Firefox's new tab page might seem both barren (no background image or useful widgets) and spammy out of the box...first of all turn off sponsored links and all the Pocket stuff, then if it's too barren try out some extensions that replace the new tab page and see which one you like.
For me, FF has a killer feature: tree-style tabs (extension). Does Brave plan to add such a feature?

(When FF suddenly decides to eat too much CPU, what helps us to open a tab with about:performance. Just the act of doing so seems to kick some misbehaving thread, and the CPU consumption goes down to normal amounts. I hope somebody at Mozilla is working on fixing that.)
This is a positive tax reform. Why should taxpayers cover losses from people doing little due diligence or placing reckless bets with shady companies?
>Scientists and data analysts just want to know how to analyze their data, and this does not help them.

I'm a computational biologist that uses Bayesian and Frequentist approaches depending on what I'm trying to achieve. This article was very helpful for making explicit a distinction I had not recognized before. With most of science (in my field) being done by people with Doctorates of Philosophy, I think it is reasonable to expect them to understand the underlying concepts of the math they are using. But, I'm anachronistic in wanting science to have a bit more natural philosophy rather than just "shut up and calculate" (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Shut_up_and_calculate).
Neither Verizon or T-Mobile's home internet products have data caps. In fact, of the four ISPs my home has access to, Comcast Xfinity is the only one that has a cap.
> If you can’t do something in VR because of a limited range of motion in real life, I think that you have failed as a VR developer.

I have never disagreed with an opinion on VR more. The worst VR experiences are the ones that would be possible without the VR. I thought half life Alyx was bad because of this. I don’t want to treat my headset as just another screen.
> Except billionaires become billionaires because it’s a gift from the government.

I agree that governments have a part to play in creating regulations. But you’ll also notice how Tesla straight left California, because California tax law is just insane and Texas is more competitive.

Government definitely wants a stable economy.

Elon behavior is definitely a problem, although I don’t think it’s one worth worrying about. If he wants to piss on our collective respect for him, that’s his choice to do so.
The biggest problem with Elon's "everything app" concept is AFAIK he has not explained what problem it solves, aside from capturing a lot of value for shareholders.
For many people a web browser and an office suite is all they use a computer for. If anything an office suite should be expected.

Isn't there anything like that already? If so, I was really overestimating our progress in the field of VR (I don't own a VR headset)
I'm confident there is no need for them when Ukraine can't shoot down conventional ones.

Why waste more expensive resources when there is nothing to gain from it?
Yes. But not every industry gets the benefit of a nationally legislated liability limit on their mistakes.
Well, for one, the thieves have to claim it as income.

Neom might just be the best argument against totalitarianism, such stupid ideas wouldn't even be up for consideration in a free(er) country. Just looking at the website makes me so sad, it legitimately feels like some passion project of a megalomaniac who doesn't care for the wellbeing of his people.
> Participation is a confounding variable if you compare the subset of invitation group that participated with the control group instead of the invitation to the control group.

I believe that's what I said. That's certainly what was used. You can't compare the group subset that didn't participate, so it's a confounding variable.

> Lifelong correlational data is not the gold standard for questions about mortality.

AFAIK it is and has been over the last century. If you aren't tracking lifelong data, your mortality data is always skewed against hidden results because you didn't want to wait. When making a paper that isn't qualified (decade long effects vs effects), it's not expected to have short time-boxed data.
Someday. No evidence they ever built one. Still, pretty cool idea.

I was offered a (non-tech) job at Netflix for a position 2 levels below my current title for 3x my current salary. When I expressed surprise, the HR rep said that Netflix was "top of the market" because they expect employees to work hard.

By the time I finished going through the interview process, the person who was supposed to be my boss had already left due to burnout. The person who was supposed to report to me had become my boss by the time I received an offer, but left by what would have been my start date. I would have ended up in charge of the department if I had taken the job.

Netflix, at least, is a grinder, and they pay correspondingly.
I had about 20 mulitlands in the deck (all in sleeves) as well as a whole second set of pristine multilands.

And yes, mostly Beta (black border), a few Alphas, and a lot of Unlimited, Arabian Nights, and Legends still in sleeves. I stopped collecting after that.

> Would love to see some photos of your deck :)

Would love to be able to find them and take those photos!!

I actually ran a business selling Magic cards back in '95. I'd go buy cases at wholesale and then sell them out of my trunk at retail with my buddy. Instead of taking profit, we'd open one pack for every one we sold, so I got all my money back and a shitload of rare cards. It was my most successful business in my career!
I tend to power down when I’m not using it, if I don’t I feel like I always have too many windows and tabs open after a while.
If the entire company fully utilizes their unlimited PTO, then open ended policies will become less open ended... Unlimited PTO and sick days become tracked PTO and sick days. Which brings us to the original point of employers tracking their employees more.
One could argue that the New Deal was an attempt to stave off revolution from a desperate working class, at a time when revolution was the main trend in the world. The long-term effects certainly benefited the capitalist class far more than the workers; I think the current environment speaks for itself.
Show HN: Next HYVE – I made a newsletter to fight doomerism
next HYVE curates content for you to wake up inspired.

The pre-MVP product is a free daily newsletter with high-quality art, films, articles, and more, focused on our shared future and proposals to make it better. I'm looking for feedback on the content and concept as we work on a more robust, community engagement app.

My background is in product management (work) & psychology (school). For all the money pouring into the 'mental health' space, it's becoming increasingly clear tech isn't touch a major part of our collective unless. That's because mental wellness isn't just in our head, it is also collective.

next HYVE bridges this gap, nourishing collective imagination, optimism, and positive action.

If you're tired of negative news, overwhelmed by the problems of the world, or wish the Solarpunk future was a reality, come try the 5 day trial concept and be part of the initial feedback team.

The next phase (in early production) is an app to enable community engagement, daily updates of exclusive content from the content creators who are also part-owners, and mobilization on future-forward projects near you.

Thanks in advance for any and all thoughts.

> I aimed to elicit the response from Japanese people about their own culture

This is overly optimistic in my opinion. When I wrote my original comment I didn't see any indication that any of the other commenters had any connection to or expertise regarding Japan, they were speculating based on their own cultures and their own knowledge. In my experience expert opinions are very likely to get buried in a forum like this unless they agree with the mainstream, non-expert view.

> I think this is overcautious--and actually too dismissive of the views of non-japanese people

I never said you should ignore or dismiss people's views completely, just that you should be cautious. There's a lot of speculation going on that you should avoid putting too much faith into.

> so the opinions of other cultures and their experiences of Japan is vitally important

I'll concede that I hadn't considered that point. But on the other hand, do you really trust people getting little information from a insular country to make well-informed opinions. It's part of the story, but stay skeptical of anything you hear.

I brought things up because of my own frustrations with social networks, particularly Reddit (see my username). Lots of Redditors repeating stuff they saw on Reddit with little critical thinking was part of the reason I strayed away and moved here (also the more technical focus here) Any time Redditors discuss topics or cultures that I'm familiar with, I can tell a lot of people are talking out of their ass.

> question has been flagged--for some reason?

This is unfortunate. I do think there is some interesting discussion to be had. As long as you do your due diligence on any discussions here.

Ok, so you call your congressman and tell them you don't like SA and that we should... do what? Have our ambassador file a protest? That's going to be effective how?

Yes, using less oil is harder than calling your congressperson because you actually have to change behavior and perhaps live with some inconvenience. But it's hard to see how it's less effective at this point.

Go ahead and to both. The call is easy. But the underlying reason that the US has been overly accommodating to SA (including selling them military equipment) is because we are heavily dependent on oil and oil is a global market so we need SA to keep production up.

Oh, well, that's different.
The article's argument, and mine, is this is actually a very limited view of VR. Some people want to do these active things, but most people just want to hang out. Even in the much tamer example from the article, playing cards at a table, the game forces you to mimic the in game setup in real life. If the player has any a11y needs or just doesn't want to sit that way, then there aren't any good alternatives.
It could be cleaner. My understanding is that you need different extension(s) to manipulate files requiring elevated access (e.g. sudo).
Whilst successful in my career and user of probability, statistics, and inference on a regular basis, I simply cannot understand what's being discussed here.

I don't even want to understand it. Just like quantum, half the argument seems to be the a mismatch between mental models and actual reality.
This is good for Jakt but why another language?
Any medical professionals or researchers who can comment on ways to speed up the elimination of oxaliplatin?

44 years (stated as 535 months in the article) for the second half-life, in the body, with the platinum in a reactive form. It sounds like a large reduction in harm could be achieved if elimination could be made to be more rapid especially with oxaliplatin being used to treat the increasingly common GI cancers for people still in early middle age.

The article mentions the oxaliplatin getting bound up in tissues slowing its elimination. Perhaps extreme prolonged fasting to help free some of the platinum up?

The article also mentions sodium thiosulfate to help eliminate cisplatin. Might it also help with oxaliplatin too?

And, there have been many articles about life extension from frequent plasma donation cleaning out accumulated crud from the blood.

I'm wondering if a combination of the above three might help eliminate the oxaliplatin/platinum more quickly. Or, if there is something else that is known to work / that you would hypothesize might work?

Some quotes from the article:

"The first elimination half-life (t1/2) for cisplatin was 5.02 months and the second 37.0 months. For oxaliplatin, these half-lifes were 1.37 and 535 months."

"...it was shown that Pt species in pUF were still present in a reactive form."

Letting Meta take the helm is a strong disincentive for the "virtual reality gaming revolution". They're trying to reach feature parity at a lower price point and I get it but it's misguided.

They shouldn't be trying to take the lead here. It's not their wheelhouse. They should be focusing on AR, not VR. That's their wheelhouse.

Let Vive and Valve and HTC and whoever work on the VR side of things.

What is up with the 'custom coffee brands' that seem to be pushed nonstop the last 6 months?

Conservative platforms are always troubled with incompetence and corruption, but we should be thankful for that because oligarchs like Peter Thiel pretty much want to lead us back to feudalism. He has some sick, totalitarian ideas for humanity, thankfully he is just another rich boy that got lucky with the internet, which keeps him busy pretending to be smart while everyone is rolling their eyes. I'm pretty sure he would be a serial killer if he wouldn't be able to play a villain like this.

> The Ubuntu Pro desktop also supports Advanced Active Directory (AD) Policies. This includes full Group Policy Object support, remote script execution, and privilege management. Or, if you prefer, you can use Landscape to manage for free up to ten Ubuntu desktops.

> Users can obtain a free personal Ubuntu Pro subscription at ubuntu.com/pro for up to five machines. This free tier is for personal and small-scale commercial use. Paid plans start at $25 per year per workstation. The standard Ubuntu Pro subscription covers the full set of security updates for all Ubuntu packages.

That's huge.

Active Directory is the major reason many business adopt Microsoft.

In my opinion, the lack of a good Linux alternative is the #1 thing preventing Linux use in business.

I've seen it on older apps and ones I've tried to make myself. The app where it's caused me the most grief is in AndFTP where rotating the screen will kill any in-progress file transfers. I've learned to just lock the screen rotation when I'm using that one, which definitely shouldn't be necessary but also isn't the end of the world.

In case anyone is curious, there are multiple different kinds of California ballot propositions. Some are constitutional amendments; some are statutes; some (like the subject[s] of this particular comment thread) are a combination of both. There are also bond measures and veto referendums, which for the purposes of this classification are probably more like statutes than amendments. (Furthermore, the ballot propositions can be citizen-initiated, legislatively-referred, or mandatory.)

On the ballot for 2022 in California is 1 constitutional amendment, 2 combined amendments/statutes, 3 statutes, and 1 veto referendum.
Similarly, other countries might just use science funded by the US - is that also an unfair free rider situation?
vBulletin 3.x/4.x and IPB 2.x/3.x had threaded view as an option alongside flat.

Forum software of old actually gave users the power to choose the interface they want. We've really gone backwards with software interfaces.

Also, themes. These days all we get are "Dark Mode" and "Light Mode". Boring.
That's always been true on MacOS, especially if you care about performance, are doing something weird, or both.

I worked on OS-Bypass HPC drivers for a pre-infiniband/ROCE NIC in the early/mid 2000s. About 90% of my time doing the driver was spent reading the kernel and IOKit sources, trying to figure out how I could use the highest performance interfaces possible in a stable way. For example, Apple really wanted you to use IOKit primitives (which used Mach IPC) to call functionality in your driver, but microbenchmarks showed it was about 50% higher latency than simple BSD ioctls from the BSD side of the kernel. That fit nicely with our driver model (which was split into OS-agnostic and OS specific code, and which used ioctls on every other *nix, and even on Windows), and got us slightly better performance.
Equity doesn't really work once companies get past the 10-20 size. At that point you're at most getting back 5-10% of the increase in profit. So not much incentive to work your ass off to get an extra 100k in profit when you're only seeing 5-10k of that. Realistically your equity is less than 1% since investors and founders will have much of the equity. So now we're working our ass off for 500-1000.

IMHO bonuses are generally worse for everyone involved. They tend to quickly become expected compensation so lose their incentive value. Also can end up doing the opposite. If someone doesn't get an expected bonus their morale can go down. They might end up working less. And then there's the whole "wait to quit until my bonus pays out" problem.

> Most of 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

Yes. Similarly, Pakistani intelligence knew where Bin Laden was. Oh wait, SOME Pakistani intelligence knew. The issue we're seeing is internecine conflict and a lack of effective governance. Saying the hijackers were Saudis so therefore the entire House of Saud is liable is reductive at best.

I'm not defending said House, but OTOH blaming the most public power base for everything associated with the country ignores the fact that they don't have control over their own power bases (much like Pakistan, a total s-hole that I can't wait until we're disengaged from).
>Therefore, no one is going to pitch a legit arbitrage opportunity to you.

I'm feeling parallels to "How to get rich quick" or "Make $5000 a week from your home" pay-per-click sites from 20 years ago.

I think the lesson here is always be wary of easy money. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
I've been here for 40 basically, and while his comments were slightly exaggerated, they all basically ring true. The most exaggerated one is the smoke being THAT bad. Other than the 2020 smoke Armageddon I've never even noticed fire season. But I assume he just means that in general our public lands are mismanaged.

I've been offroading and riding dirt bikes for 20+ years. Without a doubt, fire roads in the mountains are falling into disrepair. When they do clear them, they do so so lazily that it for sure will alter their response time if they ever need to use them. And that's just one tiny example.

I think OPs list was pretty accurate, just a little exaggerated but I think you know what he means.
In general polyphonic pitch detection is a much harder problem to solve than monophonic. I guess focussing on guitar tuning only rather than trying to transcribe a whole song makes the problem a bit simpler but still is probably a lot more challenging than handling one note a time. Cool feature though, I had never thought of a polyphonic tuner!
You can do that, but you won't learn anything, because the populations within each cell are not comparable to each other.
