I used to host my blog on my own server years ago and some popular site "hotlinked" to an image I had posted. My traffic - which back then I paid for by the Gb - spiked like crazy. I decided to put in Apache referrer checks for images and started serving some porn when it didn't match my domain. That solved the problem pretty quickly.

Easylist should do something similar - requests from India should include a list with all the popular sites like Google, YouTube, aajtak.in, etc. When their browsers suddenly stop working the problem will be solved.

Well, right. Some of that spending is technically not necessary (we could choose to live in a worse school district, of course—clearly many people do, or there wouldn't be schools there) but you're also probably gonna feel like (and, maybe, be) a terrible person if you don't spend more to get your kids into better schools if you can. Like, obviously couples whose income doesn't amount to at least a million dollars over 18 years aren't spending half a million on raising their kids, but many of them nevertheless do have kids.

But, the result of all this psychology and zero-sum competition (as housing/schools are) is that kids tend to eat all available income up to a point—and, indeed, if you cross a certain income threshold and can afford top-tier private school, there's another entire tier of potential and hard-to-convince-yourself-not-to-do spending above that.

Is there a fundamental answer to this question? Start with low-hanging fruit and then build up? Or begin with the most challenging bits before gliding forward? The risk with the former is you end up in a dead end. The risk with the latter, finding the hard problems intractable without the experience of solving the easier ones.

- There are many studies posited but no one ever talks about the 'n' or the replicability. The studies are almost always asking you to do something uncomfortable or be scared (amnio may cause a miscarriage; the best brain developing breastmilk is the feed btwn midnight and 6am; blah blah blah)

- There are so many people happy to tell women they should just stay home or if they dont they'll miss crucial moments or not develop their children's potential or even ability to love correctly. Oddly this is crucial for society and yet the US society provides near 0 support to make this happen

>Near me, the QFC is tiny compared to the Fred Meyer stores.

QFCs are essentially just the "Grocery" department from Fred Meyer. Remove Home Goods, Apparel and Electronics from FM and you've got yourself a QFC.

Edit: Someone step in here and correct me if I'm wrong, but that's Kroger's basic MO. Even Ralph's and their Kroger-branded stores just feel like the exact same grocery store as QFC and FM's grocery department.

And (sorry to rant, lol), yeah, a dude named Fred Meyer in Portland really did found the store in the 1920's, but do y'all have to put his picture and a big spiel about him and "local community" up at the front of your store when we all know that the present-day reality of FM is bullshit?

I'm not having difficulty understanding the coding problem. I'm talking about how the comments would actually be misleading to a person who was.
They shouldn't have to foot the bill for this. This is some bad developers releasing a bad fork of a bad browser.

At a minimum, they should have either reduced the requests to something like a monthly download (not great, but far better than requesting a file every startup), or ideally, hosted and updated the file themselves, on their infrastructure. At least that would force them to look at their own hosting bills, instead of crippling a prominent and important contributor to ad-blocking software.
Wages have increased, but they've also been distributed to places like China, India, Vietnam, as business owners naturally seek low wage costs (and demanding 4-day work weeks will only accelerate the exportation of labor).

Although many first-world countries' median wage hasn't increased much (despite wage growth all around in warehousing, fast-food, etc), the number of high-paying jobs in tech, finance, law, healthcare, media and more has certainly increased. How many software engineers were making $150-250k annually in 1997?

> Do you not think that there's a case to be made that white supremacy has found a voice in certain parts of the internet?

> If you do agree, how would someone go about discussing how to tackle it without being dismissed as woke?

I find it hard to address these questions, because I do not know what the person who uses the phrase "white supremacist" means. To me, it's hardly more than a slur, like the word fascist or, to some people, communist; so imagine my confusion if you asked me whether I thought fascists have found a voice in certain parts of the internet. Merriam-Webster's dictionary offers two definitions of white supremacy, of which the second — if the Internet Archive is to be trusted — was added only in 2020. The first, traditional, definition, which I share, says that it is "the belief that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races". The second, recently added, definition says (and you can clearly hear the political background in which it was added), "the social, economic, and political systems that collectively enable white people to maintain power over people of other races".

I have not, personally, seen or corresponded with a person who would profess to be a white supremacist in the first sense; so to me, they are as exotic as flat earthers. It is hard for me to believe that they need any more significant tackling than the Jihadis, or any other violent whackos (and only when they are violent, mind) — and you do not hear the media and the twittersphere constantly taking the names of those other groups of whackos in vain. So, to answer your question, if there arises a terrorist group of militant white supremacists, then yes, it would need tackling; but I am sure that in that case both the danger will be seen as clear and present, and the language will be not of shaming and moral outrage, but of concrete measures of law enforcement.

I was actually testing Photoshop's new colorizing filter this week, so this is timely. My first impression of Palette in comparison is that it does a comparably good job of colorizing. Sometimes Photoshop does better, sometimes Palette -- usually the skin tones is the hardest part, and one does a noticeably better job than the other.

The natural language modifications available in Palette ("his shirt is light blue") are super useful. Well done.

It's not even close to practically the same. What is the actual rate at which the government subpoenas smartwatch location history and the probability it will happen to you? This is like saying the fact the government has the capability to imprison or shoot you at any time and you would not be able to stop them is exactly the same as actually being imprisoned or executed.

But yes, clearly the best way forward is individual data sovereignty. The reason intelligent personal digital assistants that knew you intimately didn't seem dystopian when they were in Star Trek is because nobody then envisioned that the software and data would be running on corporate servers. We envisioned these things being more along the lines of trusted friends in their own right, with a clear data boundary at the physical limit of the sensing devices they used, not that they would be perpetually networked and owned by third parties like Amazon. They weren't supposed to share information with anyone but you.
> What should you do instead of process gates?

The first idea the article suggests is... use a process gate.

Yes, a narrower or short-lived one, but it's quite a mixed message.

I also don't think the death spiral described is inherent to process gates.

If you're going to claim quality gates generally cause worse quality I think you better be prepared to back that up. I don't see it.

I spent some time in 02016 digging through different sorts of academic lineages. It turns out, for example, that you can also trace Leibniz back to Copernicus: https://dercuano.github.io/notes/academic-lineage.html

Thrun's page seems to have an error about Leibniz: "Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz 1966, 1967, 1976"

It would be nice to be able to trace figures like al-Tusi back to Plato and Imhotep, to know if there really was an unbroken line of personal mentorship the way there is in the Buddhist lineages, or if at some point the oral line was severed. Perhaps during the Roman rampages through Greece, the line of transmission of philosophy only survived in Alexandria, or less plausibly, somewhere in India, only to resurface in Arabia while Europe was sunken into its Dark Ages. Or perhaps it had to be recovered from the few manuscripts the Christians hadn't yet recycled into hymnals, like the Archimedes Palimpsest.

We know that somewhere between Eudoxus and Galileo the idea of freely postulated axiom systems was lost, and it was not really fully rediscovered until the 19th century.
Another definition of a "true believer": a person who doesn't value his time, is eager to give it away for free for his boss, and who doesn't know of or have anything better. But typically (and hopefully) after 10 years of such pointless sacrifice, and/or getting a family, such person gets to his senses, i.e., becomes a "mercenary", instead of turning into grumpy and cynical old fart.

The corporate bullshitters meanwhile do everything to provide a reason ("family", "mission"), so they could squeeze all the juice of the young and naive.
This is all kind of theoretical. Low income people rent from landlords that will not install EV charging infrastructure unless the Federal Government pays for it.

I completely agree. And autonomous vehicles solve none of the issues of regular cars, except maybe injury rate. The rest is the same -- emissions, inefficiency, expense, noise, traffic congestion, unwalkable cities, and so on.
This is a necessary part of creating more sophisticated systems. Abstracting the lower ends of complexity to focus on the higher ends. The problem is, of course, when the abstractions leak and you need to debug a level lower than you're used to dealing. Still, I think that this is the best discussion on the matter [law of leaky abstractions](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/11/11/the-law-of-leaky-a...). In the end, yes, it's best to understand everything all the way down to the thermodynamic processes that enable something to be produced, but you cut your losses at some point in order to get started. A leaky abstraction is when you are forced to learn, and how you discover that some of your assumptions are mistaken.

Agreed. Sensationalization about important things like this are not only falsy, it tends to make people feel helpless about climate change. This sense of helplessness only serves those that gain by continuing to destroy our planet.
Also, Hardware isn't as hard as people make out, you install it once and it runs; if it fails there's a special out-of-band manager built in so you can remotely debug it, datacenters have remote-hands personel.

If you're constantly installing stuff then you're scaling up a lot, and that's the level where it would make sense to have someone hired dedicated for it.

You can also rent hardware.

the thing is: cloud ops are also quite complex but it's a different kind of complexity. I don't know how many people are required.

The largest teams I've been on have been cloud deployments, and some of the smallest teams were bare-metal; but that's just an anecdote.

>But are those really the majority?

Short answer: yeah, pretty much.

Or at least a large enough percentage to affect most companies’ retention.

I love remote working, but I also agree with you to some extent. Working in the office is awesome when you are working with genuinely smart and passionate people. It can be fun, very stimulating, and some extremely high quality work can get done.

Unfortunately, the benefits of WFH are just massive and they outweigh that in-person magic for most people.
Personally a mixture of the two suits me best. I appreciate the time by myself, but every now and then I want to go into the office to reconnect with other people. It can also make rubber-ducking more efficient if said duck is sitting next to you.

> Kids adore doing whatever their parents are doing

Sometimes I worry that many parents focus in "teaching" or "instilling" a desired behavior at the expense of "role-modeling" it through personal lived demonstration. The latter can be far more powerful because of how kids are hardwired to mimic adults... at least up until a certain age where they go the opposite way. :P

I like going to the office and talk with people but there are a few problems that make me hate it and chose WFH almost 100% of the time:

- the office is almost always in the middle of a larger city, no nature nearby

- the office is almost always an open office space that is depressing as hell

- the office is hard or expensive to go to due to it's central location

- I am not allowed to bring my dog to the office

- the screens at the office has low resolutions and my desk is most likely located in a depressing part of the office and not by a window with a view

- the commute sucks and I have to go up 1,5 hours earlier because that I need to look nice and fresh and I get no reward other than perhaps some colleagues to speak to during my 30 minute lunch break

That's why I chose remote every day and hate going to the modern office.
