As much as I dislike Java, I very much appreciate the Kill Bill authors' approach to features -- via plugins. Unfortunately, the plugins mostly need to be written in Java, although I learned on this HN thread that there maybe a gRPC interface, so I'll take another look!
I know it's not FF, but Bromite has this feature.
The new feature here is just proactively asking the user if they want to block the banners. The actual blocking is a uBO/Brave Shields filter list now part of the Easylist package. You can just enable it in your browser right now.

we have a few krogers near where i live but i didn't even realize albertsons was a big chain until recently since i'd never actually seen one irl. but yeah everybody around here knows kroger is shit and literally any of the other many stores is better. overpriced, bad selection, the worst quality produce and meat, employees aren't very helpful. thankfully there's a ton of other selection.
You need to stop and ask yourself if this kind of comment adds any value to the discussion. It's not even offering a good reason for OP to make a change to their language; it's pure nagging.
You can rescue your profit margin by paying high salaries to executives and have a ton of administrative overhead. That’s how health insurance works. The profit margin says nothing about how efficient the company is.
> since it's the government doing the building shouldn't that not really be a "cost", order the department to waive any fees.

This assumes that the cost is due to fees imposed by the government.

Interruptions don't scale, just as single backbone networks don't scale (CSMA-CD anyone?) and modern networking has shifted to star topologies.
It really doesn't, though. For one, it is recursive. Can I interrupt a counter? What if it is already in a counter? Does it depend on why I'm interrupting?

That is, this all only works if you know what "plays" each side can do, and you agree on when each one can be played. Card games with instants captures this remarkably well. In that you have a finite number of "interrupt" cards, and are often limited to how many times you can play each one.
> What part of making the world a shittier place will actually make people try to save it?

> I think a lot of people have already been living out this hypothetical for at least a decade, both rich and poor.

I’m saying the proposed hypothetical experiment of “making the world a shittier and seeing who wants to save it” is no hypothetical; it’s day to day reality for billions.

> Why else would we be here?

“Here” meaning the here and now of world affairs:
the brink of nuclear war, environmental collapse, economic collapse, wildly disproportionate wealth inequality. The day to day symptoms of a shitty place for billions.

I’m saying that the world is already royally fucked, and I can empathize with the viewpoint of “why should the rich get their fine art while the rest of us choke and starve.”
You are sort of comparing apples to oranges. Like consider a beefy gaming computer, but the mouse is some junk with an input latency of 10ms. Can this computer do 144fps? It most certainly can. Despite the input latency, 144 frames are rendered every second, and 144 frames are displayed on the monitor every second. Movement and animations will be butter smooth. For the player the latency is frustrating but consider the friend looking over his shoulder. He can't tell. All he knows is that there are in fact 144 frames per second.

So you gotta ask yourself, well when does this make sense? Does it make sense in a twitch shooter? It doesn't. Does it make sense in a popular mmorpg that runs with a tickrate of 600ms? Yes. Does it make sense in a RTS? Probably, except at maybe the highest levels. Does it make sense in a train simulator? Yes.
> these types of protests don't really move anyone's opinion

I think they actually damage the cause they're working towards, it gives opponents of taking action against climate change cheep ammunition for ad hominem attacks against anyone working on climate change similar to how small groups of rioters can be used to paint entire protests as violent.
I think they're getting at the fact that you can create statially linked binaries without dependencies beyond posix or LSB (much like go). Compiling said code probably will require some well defined version of the compiler (which is trivial to containerize) as noted by pid-1 and why the linked project exists

The "irrelevant" part is questionable and based on the author's thinking at the time, not gospel.
I still have a 5k pixel square blank white gif on my site for times like that (~4kB) that I sub in for anything that gets requested too often, or from particular places.

I was getting hotlinked from controversial sites a lot at one stage, and the common forum software they used didn't force image sizes. So a 5k pixel wide image pushed most of the content off the screen thanks to a centred element :)
It is potentially more efficient, but that efficiency is dependent on mutual buy-in and understanding.

It cam also be efficient to non-verbally signal a request for interrupt via hand or face gestures.

The real skill is on the fly protocol identification and adaption.

It wasn't "so much more advanced", it used a heavily power constrained ARM SoC with limited memory running a software stack ported over from desktop and gosh could you ever feel it. They applied UX lessons learned from Newton and competitors and the product required a few iterations before hitting mass market potential, I think people forget how shitty every iPhone was before 3GS. It came out of nowhere only if you weren't paying attention.

Correct that VR isn't coming out of nowhere either, though I didn't really imply otherwise. Virtual Boy isn't VR though as there's no head tracking which is a prerequisite, it's a HMD with stereoscopy. Even 3DOF being VR stretches the definition. The first consumer VR headset that was capable of representing a true virtual environment was a tie between the Rift and Vive.

"Metaverses" stretch back further to MUDs.

It's not like this is a secret or a conspiracy, and it's not done to trick customers into thinking there is fake competition. Customers don't care about competition or antitrust when they shop for cereal or deodorant.

You can go to the parent company's website and see the list of brands. For example: https://www.generalmills.com/food-we-make/brands

This kind of thing generally happens because brands being acquired by a new parent company already have a brand image and some amount of customer loyalty, and targets a particular price bracket or demographic. Rebranding the products would be bad for business.

People bring up the same kind of argument when they talk about Luxottica making many of the famous brands of sunglasses, as if it's a conspiracy or somehow makes the product evil or inauthentic. I don't get it. Products should be evaluated on their own merits, and branding is not evil per se.
At around noon, when the Sun reaches the zenith (at least of you are not in the polar regions), it would be South in the Northern Hemisphere and North in the Southern Hemisphere. At that point, east-west axis is easier to establish. Doing this other than noon is going to get more distortions, based upon time of year and latitude. It’ll probably be reasonably accurate if someone is in the equatorial belt.

The equinoxes are the times when that east-west is going to be east west.

Thinking about this, this is probably how the clock and the sextant lets people navigate on the open ocean during the age of sail.
This seems like way too much effort to find a "natural" non-computable function.

I think this function R x R -> 2 is much simpler but satisfies the requirements:

f(x,y) = 1 if x = y.
f(x,y) = 0 otherwise.

This has an obvious, natural geometric interpretation as the indicator function of the diagonal of the Cartesian plane.
That's a good addition: if the participants do not trust one another, the interrupt-denies and counter-interrupts are not going to work.

As far the actual signaling goes, AFAICT it's pretty built-in (though I can imagine in other countries for instance there are likely enough differences that you'd have to take time to learn specific signals): I can go into this style of conversation immediately with strangers as long as we're at least giving each other a little benefit of the doubt.
Forming a hierarchy of leadership and follower is also fairly common among children. Probably fairly common among people, period. In that, you quickly start to form boundaries on who can interrupt what and why. And, in all cases, you almost always need someone that cannot be interrupted.

The article does cover this. They have moderators that would keep things on track. Most of your interactions on a daily basis don't have moderators.

What's so ridiculous to you about the article? I don't know shit about Ukraine, but when you go to zero there's nowhere to go from there but up, so it doesn't sound insane to me that right now it's going up.

(I agree that something about the framing seems weird, because it talks about "economic success" but then cites things like "a budget deficit of $38bn next year, equivalent to 19% of pre-war GDP," which doesn't really spark joy.)

I could not agree less
This is a great example of why in-person collaboration is irreplaceable for discussions and the like. With people you are familiar with, you can semi-interrupt with facial expressions, movements, grunts, etc. You can use body language and tone of voice to make a side remark or "threaded" discussion. You can interrupt at the exact right time and interleave your words with other people's. You can, simply by looking at the other listeners, confirm whether anyone else has the same concerns that you do. And it's instant. So the acceptable threshold for interruption gets higher and the consequences get lower.

On high-latency, low-bandwidth channels (Google Voice, I'm looking in your direction...), you choose between long, confusing silent waiting and constant infuriating interruption.
At sunrise or sunset, it's pretty obvious which way east or west is. At least to a first approximation.

For a second approximation you'll want to interpolate between the equinox and solstice and use that to approximate an allowance for the ~24 degree tilt of earths rotation axis.

That second approximation error is there for all times that are not midday, but reduce to zero as you approach midday.

A third approximation might be to allow to the offset between your local timezone and solar midday. Where I am (Sydney) we are fairly close to the middle of the +10 and +11 timezone boundaries, so solar noon is within a few minutes of timezones noon. Perth on the other hand is way out to the west of it's timezone, so solar noon there is almost 25 minutes off from timezone noon. So "watch north" in Perth will be about 7.5 degrees off "true north".

Surely the title of this item "A lot of what is known about pirates is not true" is an oxy-moron?

A lot of what is [thought to be] known about pirates is not true?
A lot of what is [not] known about pirates is not true?

And also "A lot we know about pirates is not true..." also seems 'wrong'

But I can't work out what exactly seems incorrect. I've tried substituting 'pirates' for something else, but nothing works.

Better yet, serve an empty file to the offending user agents
a) you have not specifically made comparisons to the Replit app and your app to point out exactly what was copied, all ive seen so far is just you flaunting your reputation and saying he did without actually proving anything

b) if you did make something you planned on getting investments for, why did you not copyright your ideas and your code? if its not copyrighted or anything you basically did that to yourself.

c) if you did copyright your ideas or code, why are you posting here instead of filing a legal complaint

d) From what I understand there was a dedicated team that made the mobile app and while I can’t personally affirm how much of an influence amjad actually had over the development of the app, it seems to me like the team was mostly independent from amjad

your whole post just seems like its 50% bragging and 50% complaining with zero evidence

if you’re being serious about this you should really edit your post to contain direct comparisons instead of just spewing about “amjad copied my idea” with little to no explination.
As the article itself points out it depends a lot on who is talking and in what environment. The 'let them talk' approach works well for people who can speak concisely and keep on topic.

But if you have someone who is prone to just go on tangents or repeat themselves endlessly interruption isn't a bad thing for a conversation.

For example I don't think I could make it through the same 20 year old Stallman stump speech in person without losing my mind. There's people who exhibit a really bad combo of being repetitive, verbose and allergic to challenge that makes for dreadful conversations.
> whenever I see someone wearing one it just pisses me off

That seems kind of extreme. You don't like it, just don't buy it?

Personally, I like my Apple Watch, it's pretty handy. I couldn't care less about any sort of 'status' it projects (and it doesn't -- everyone around me has one, it's not noteworthy to have one strapped to your wrist).
The fires happened because of the disastrous mismanagement of California's "Wildfire Prevention" efforts. By cutting back significantly on prescribed burns for decades because of perceived emissions, all the growth in the forests has created the perfect conditions for extended and humongous wildfires that we have seen in the past several years.
Exactly. The city should buy the land under ED and then rent out the space preferentially to another grocery store.
Very impressive reaction from the guy in the video, but I don't think he's using this to tell the heading. It looks like he also has a compass on his watch band as you can see at 1:03.
That’s a very good question actually, I didn’t think about it like that, and it changes my mind on the subject a bit. Thanks for that.
> We can, and should, argue things we have not tried or experienced, like heroin and murder. What makes it so that this has to be tried?

It's not that you absolutely have to have experience with something, but you'd be foolish to discount the input of people who do. In debates about drug policy I try to be polite to people with zero first hand experience, but their contributions are rarely of interest. Murder is a bit more abstract insofar as anyone who has fully experienced it by definition didn't survive to testify, but I give a lot more weight to the views of people that have first-hand knowledge of violence and crime.

It's not that you shouldn't weigh in on a topic without first hand experience, but that it's a good idea to specify the scope of your understanding, or frame uncertainties as open questions rather than assumptions.
That reminds me of a throwaway line in a YouTube video with Sir Roger Penrose. He insinuated that Lord Kelvin had been pushing an idea of vortices as an explanation for early evidence of atoms [1]. However, this had suffered a few blows including Rutherford's shell model of the atom alongside the lack of evidence for a suitable fluid-like substance (aether).

Now that we are more-or-less entrenched in the mathematical model of fields, I wonder if anyone is considering vortices within those fields as a possible explanation for observed behavior.

There's also that hilarious Windows Phone error that prompts users to insert their Windows installation disc and restart their "computer".
The rules (although I'll argue none are needed, see below) really are quite simple: yes, what I described above works recursively: there is no difference between a counter-interrupt and a counter-counter-interrupt.

All of this hinges on and ends up being managed by each person giving the other a certain amount of benefit of the doubt, that any of these interrupt-related actions are being done out of a genuine desire to communicate effectively (vs someone trying to make some kind of power play). With that trust in place you don't need to know any "rules", this all emerges quite naturally.
> With the same logic

Ah, because vandalism is fair game?

> maybe your mothers grave should be destroyed?

Makes sense to me. Maybe we could dig up the dead and use them for fertilizer to plant trees. The crazy thing about the dead is they’re a bunch of a freeloaders. in terms utility experienced by the buried per unit of land occupied to do so, they’re still at zero.
Aristotle was wrong then and he's still wrong now.
Meh. If you know the trick exists, you can derive it from first principles, which for some people (me included) is a much easier "trick" than accurately remembering the exact steps/process for something like this.

Maybe there's a important semantic difference between derive and deduce? But I totally agree with the grandparent poster.
It’s pretty clear if you’re familiar with anything available from the NKVD archives that industrial espionage was one of their key functions. There’s good documentation of this we’ll into the 1970s when it was the KGB of course.

It’s also well documented that tons of intellectuals and engineers(broadly speaking) got wrapped up in the Stalinist purges. Writing the charge of “wrecking” into law was a real thing. The deaths of untold numbers of wreckers on the White Sea Canal is no exaggeration. The tyrant of the quota system was very real.

The RBMK being based on Chicago-Pile-1 is well known. The way in which the USSR acquired the atomic bomb is also well documented.

I’d go on to say that any time this topic comes up, a number of Soviet apologists show up. There are actually some fairly prominent members of the community that are unapologetically Stalinists, not many but surprisingly some. It’s still worth rebutting IMHO.

Here’s a fun one - import duties. If we ignore sales taxes for a minute, the real problem with duties isn’t calculating a number, it’s knowing which classification applies. You often have a giant table or spreadsheet of product codes and duties, but the hard part can be figuring out which products have which duties applied. Companies often pick the lowest duty or tax rating they can get away with, but in ambiguous cases, governments can use courts or regulations to insist on a particular interpretation for a particular time period and sometimes the rules even differ based on who is doing the importing for various legal reasons.

Now, the obvious answer then is that for most online stores, somebody picks a product classification at random or relies on a third-party service that matches a product description to a classification. Most of the time, getting it wrong has few consequences unless you’ve been informed of the problematic item and the same government sees a misclassification more than once, or wants to make a point with your shipment vs others. After all, saying others get away with it doesn’t absolve your need to try and get declarations and duties correct.

Now, I’m not going to say that there isn’t room for open source here, I could totally see how making, for example, an AI that can look at product description and product appearance and try to classify it for duties would be amazing work if done in open source. I’m just pointing out that the topic is complicated, especially when considering that the same item might have different duties if manufactured in different locations or sold under different circumstances.

Governments are unbelievably complicated even as their systems still don’t mirror or match the real world correctly.
Another one is to generate a globally unique id for that failure. In a web application the user can share the id with you and you can look in the log and see the associated error.
