I have no evidence of this but here’s an alternative take based on what you describe.

Perhaps there’s a bug in Bumble’s API or app that is preventing the successful captcha from advancing you through the flow

I think it’s a bit too uncharitable to assume malice here. After all, what’s the incentive for bumble to actively keep a bunch of users who aren’t “legit”? Obviously that degrades the user experience and I assume lead to lower revenue.

But also, who made you the arbiter of what a user can put on their profile?
My parents showed me that movie when I was maybe 9 or 10 and getting that boyish fascination with war (amongst a few other war movies like Das Boot). I didn’t understand the colonial subtext of the movie, which made it that much more impactful. It has absolutely stuck with me, both in terms of the absolute insanity of warfare, but also just how life in general can be a complete tragedy.

This is not politics, the developer Rails was killed yesterday and Linkedin is full of this. I advise you to come to Kyiv and live under Russian-Iranian investments for at least 3 days. Then back to normal world and say just 'politics'. 50+ developers was killed already and they try to kill more. Today is the 238th day of Russian aggression in the center of Europe. You are either young or not in the subject or a russian bot. There is no point in continuing the discussion.

Yeah, starting a new local grocer or even national grocery chain is pretty easy, right? Why don't you lead the charge.
Ah, I see. The global "here". Okay, now I think I can see your perspective.

I still don't agree with the protests, but... the elite do have a way of messing up things and leaving everyone else to bear the consequences, don't they?
This.

Multilevel models relax the assumption of independent observations by specifying that the measures of repeated experimental units are dependent on each other. It's a way of telling your model that it has less information than it would have if all observations came from independent units. Therefore, standard errors of effects are usually larger. Otherwise, they are biased [1].

Since most researches are not aware of multilevel models, they design their experiments and aggregate their data to fit the independence assumption, which is rarely a good idea. Many are not even aware of modeling beyond hypothesis tests, and are unable or unwilling to adjust their analysis for confounding factors or non-sampling errors that arise due to experiment design flaws.

Also, p-values should be deprecated, since a) nil hypothesis are strawmen at best and false by definition at worst [2] and b) they incentivize researchers to not think hard about effect sizes and uncertainty in their problems.

And the angle they point up is (very roughly) the inverse of the latitude. A dish near the equator (0 degrees latitude) points 90 degrees up, a dish near the pole (~80 degrees latitude) points 0 degrees up (tangent line), a dish halfway between there and the equator points about 45 degrees up, and so forth.

Page 122 has a handy table with the more precise+accurate lookups (shifted away from the pole since the satellite's altitude is quite a bit shy of infinity, at 35,800km): https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/Articles/SolerEisemannJSE.pdf

It only talks about separating gas from the atmosphere. You then have to split up the molecules to do useful things with the atoms, and nitrogen in the air is triple bonded diatomic N2.

N2 gas takes 945 kilojoules per mole to split, while CO2 takes 393 kJ/mol. Since the thermodynamics aren't as favorable, the difference in concentration cost needs to be pretty good. Which it probably would be, (LN2 has been produced at scale for a century via cryogenic air separation and costs about a buck a liter) but green NH4 v green CH4 synthesis is not a slam dunk and it's not clear yet which one will be cheaper at the "replacing all transport oil consumption worldwide" megascale.
The one across the street from where I live does quite well, and compared with the QFC up the street, I prefer it. It doesn’t have a meat counter or fresh bakery (stuff is clearly trucked in), but for most stuff, I prefer it and can also return Amazon packages there.

I’m in Central Florida and they’re still going for $10k-$20k over new for something preowned. A local dealer has made a small niche for themselves of outcompeting Carmax as a market maker for them. They used to carry large SUVs and trucks, now they only sell used Teslas.

The EV tax credit coming back next year is likely to stoke demand.
This is a nice simple tool to do exactly what I've needed. Thank you!
It seems to me that an estimation of any computable number would scale with at least but not equal to O(n) of its denominator. Otherwise, it would be non-computable (please correct me, this is just my intuition). For 355/113 to be more than 16x closer to pi than 22/7 would be a matter of course. Furthermore, 1/791 = 1/7 * 1/113, and 355 is the floor of 22 * 7/113, as one might except of a slightly closer approximation. Not to undervalue 355/113. But (personally) intuitively, it's not particularly mysterious.

Harbor Freight is going through a variation of this now. They used to be famous for their coupons that were so easy to obtain that the shelf price might as well have been the coupon price. Changing over to just having the shelf price be the true price has been poorly received by a good chunk of regular shoppers there, even though what they really did was get rid of the ceremonial dead chicken waiving of using coupons. Haven't checked recently but I think they've started reintroducing coupons because people loved feeling like they were getting a special deal even if they weren't.

What proportion of its capability is derived from the labor of people who don't like it?

But there's an implication here of being in a critical majority, which I am not convinced is the case.

Brave's ad blocking and advertising are separate things - the adblocker is basically pretty much like uBO, but written in Rust and integrated as part of the browser.

Brave Rewards is a separate module that lets users watch ads that get delivered as toaster popups. Brave uses a part of the revenue to buy BAT from the open market and gives it to users who viewed the toaster popups. The company also operates a tipping service that lets users give those crypto tokens to content creators they like. (Since Brave buys the tokens, the tokens will have a buyer who pays with real money from the real, normal advertising business).

> 3. Brave happily collected those tokens on behalf of creators who didn't want to be a part of the scheme (e.g. Tom Scott). They stripped the creators of revenue from the original ads and just kept the tokens/revenue from their ads.

As far as I know, this was a Brave-held extra pool of BAT they had to kickstart the whole tipping system. If a creator wasn't onboard, they held the BAT for 90 days and if the creator hadn't signed up by then, returned it to the pool to be directed by the users again. I don't know if it happened to the users' own BAT, but in any case Brave didn't hold onto the coins.

The original UI back when the whole thing happened was pretty bad at distinguishing whether a creator was or wasn't a part of the program, if old screenshots are anything to go by. They fixed the UI to be clearer.
> We can actively manage our forests.

Most of the fires in CA are not forest fires. Most of the atmospheric CO2 contributions are from what most refer to as "brush" fires. Take several mountains and valleys covered with dry vegetation of all types (yes, trees included) and burn them. That's what we have here.

Yes, forest management is important. Difficult, and maybe even practically impossible, yet important. However, this will not have the effect most commenters on this thread seem to think it will. Brush fires are nearly impossible to control. The best we can do is protect property and let them have their way with the hills an valleys they consume.

I live in this area. My neighborhood has been affected by and even surrounded by brush fires multiple times. I know how they fight them. You can't control them. If the winds are blowing in the wrong direction there's almost nothing you can do to prevent a catastrophe.

I have seen half a dozen air-dropping helicopters, a couple of Canadian fire fighting aircraft and a couple of DC-10's (or whatever they are) mount a combined attack on a massive brush fire north of my town multiple times in the decades I have lived here. All they can hope to do is protect property when the conditions allow. Nothing more.

Forest management is a very small part of the problem (or solution, depending on your take on the matter).

Don't ask what I think the solution might be. I don't think anyone knows. It's like asking how to plug a volcano or stop a hurricane. Sometimes you have to accept that things are the way they are and we just don't have the power to control any of it.
I hate this stuff, but I also understand it. The human race has continuously proven itself too immature to deal rationally with the true nature of human biological diversity. Give us any axis on which we can sort ourselves and pretty soon we're using it to play ape status games or worse.

We are not truly intelligent beings yet, just a clever neocortex grafted clumsily onto an animal. That animal happens to have a lot of instincts around tribal in-group/out-group behavior that immediately kick in when differences are discussed.

My personal opinion is that things like genetic differences in ability or gender developmental stuff should be studied but it should be discussed in the most obtuse and utterly alien academic jargon possible for an effect bordering on encryption. It should be impossible to quote such research in any way that would be comprehensible to someone outside the field, making it impossible to cite it directly in support of popular political arguments.

Or maybe gate it off entirely. Maybe we should not publish openly about human genetic or gender differences for the same reason we do not publish precise schematics for atomic weapons or detailed how-to documents on how to create a doomsday plague with a mail order CRISPR kit. That reason being: some of us will use such knowledge to kill each other.

What I really hate is that humanity can't handle understanding itself.
I was a heavy ida pro user from 2008-2012. I have probably been responsible for or directly approved giving them 35-40k at different places over the years.

I wanted to do some pic disassembly a while back and out of curiosity asked if they had a low cost personal license for non commercial use and basically got told to pound sand. They said the price for the full version was what it was, no discounts. Then they came out with their ‘home’ edition which is an insult at $365 per architecture and not all architectures are available.

I don’t care how much better it is than open source stuff, until they have a full featured personal version and lower their price, they won’t be getting a dime of my (or my companies) money. It isn’t 2008 anymore.

Sometimes complaining makes things worse
You keep refusing to elaborate, and you keep saying you have examples which you wont provide, and frankly the situation in Ukraine isn’t a free pass for you to be making such boldly stupid claims without supporting them in any way, you provide zero proof for anything and just keep spouting about being a “pioneer”. Obviously I understand that the situation in Ukraine is terrible right now, and I wish you all the best in that regard, but using the situation for sympathy and to support your baseless allegations is frankly ridiculous by any standard.

That seems right. For popular consumption it'd probably be nice to have a black-filled version or something, whatever is least visually off-putting, but for science that seems much, much worse.
This reminds me of programming on a TI-84 calculator. You selected from a list of keywords (as opposed to having to type them out), and the language being TI-BASIC meant variable names were usually just one letter.

I had an experience somewhat opposite to the article. I somehow ended up with a friend group and family that tended to avoid interrupting. I guess the idea was that it was rude. People who were interrupted would complain and call you out for interrupting, and I would feel guilt if I did it.

Once I entered the professional world, I found that people (especially managers) would interrupt me all the time. I was a bit shocked - it felt animalistic, as though people were just not interested in having a "real" conversation.

Instead of becoming bitter about it, I just tried to adapt. I figured "ok, I need to express my thought in about 3 seconds or else I'll get interrupted". This seems to have worked quite well. It's forced me to think hard about what the crux of my argument is and then get it out as fast as possible. I never really thought about it much until seeing this article, but I think being interrupted has made me a better communicator.

I guess the other side effects might be different right?

E.g. we talk about relativistic mass. But when they did experiments it was found that no other attributes that come with increased mass was found. So the answer is right but there is something off with our understanding.
You're not having an honest discussion here, trying to spin this as if Brave gives the user more choice. What we're talking about Braves built in ad blocker and ad scheme. Users like myself in this thread have a right to call out what we feel is not an honest system.
Correct. He's written a great opening argument, as long as you're the sort of person who likes speeches. To me it was full of tricks to prime the reader into accepting his premises as axiomatic, from nuanced rhetoric to pull quotes with attractive color gradients. In my view his actual motivation is the typical 30% cut of any class action settlement that goes to the lawyers, and he sees a lucrative opportunity to combine two skillsets.
Same goes with classical piano, and Kung Fu.

I wish them well, they have a hard road ahead of them. Breaking free from the walled gardens comes at a high cost to user retention. After all, those dark patterns that companies use to capture eyeballs actually do work. I have no doubt that Fandom will scrap together their own Zelda Wiki to compete with the newly-independent site.

Then again, this is part of the eternal dance between walled gardens and the distributed internet. We went from self-hosted platforms like wikis and forums, to centralized hosts like Facebook Groups and Fandom. Centralization is appealing at first, because all of that Venture Capital money leads to slick modern UIs, tons of traffic, and ad revenue. But eventually the platform starts to become greedy, wasteful, and starts putting dark patterns ahead of the user's interest. Then it's time to leave.
As a an engineer, I find it hard to justify creating a product without a "zero to one" or "order of magnitude better than competition" justification.

The fact that Qasim basically just re-packaged the GPT3 API into a web interface and some Stripe billing, and was able to make money is surprising to me, and is basically something I would never consider doing.

It's the kind of project I would almost be embarrassed of telling other people about. But that's the wrong attitude, because, he made money and exited, right?

I suppose the value add Qasim truly offered was in the user acquisition and marketing.

I'm curious how much the acquisition was for. Would companies really pay > $5m for a GPT3 API frontend? Maybe? I've seen dumber decisions made.
What bearing does that have here? We all make judgement calls on incomplete information. Doesn't mean we should overlook this situation when considering this app.

"The concept of a VRF was introduced by Micali, Rabin, and Vadhan in 1999" [1] now the article says that is was pioneered by the DFinity Blockchain launched in 2021 while Algorand was launched in 2019 and coincidentally uses VRF and was also created by Micali.

Hopefully this will encourage other Fandom sites to do the same. It's absolutely mind-boggling that the current Fandom pages auto-load a Twitch stream by default, and replace the background with pointless high-res assets. Mix in the weird social media aspects and shitty business model... it's not a good working relationship.

If these Wiki sites want to redeem themselves, they should lean into the "clickhole" effect that Wikipedia tends to foster. A link-map (like Obsidian or Logseq) would be an actually useful UI addition. Maybe a sidebar would also be nice for navigating grouped articles.
