Censorship need not be targeted at the consumer/buyer, it can be targeted at the merchant/seller too. Even though you can obtain such cards anonymously, the fact that they still utilize those corporate payment networks means those corporations can block all transactions being sent to targeted merchants without needing to know the identity of the customers.
Simple solution: enforce IAP as an option whilst allowing alternatives.

There are a number of situations I'm personally aware of where users had usernames revoked for channels they were actively using.

One common case where this occurred is when users used a channel as a "bio" or "blog", and posted to the channel infrequently to update it.

Why Is Jasmine Building Its Climate Market on a Public Blockchain?
Agreed. The argument seems to be that the targeted pieces are "oil" paintings. But surely they know that the oil in these masterworks is derived from renewable sources and that therefore makes no sense, oil in oil paint is not petroleum based. So it seems the argument is disingenuous and there is a conspiracy. On the other hand I have realized that very few things people do are rational so the assumption common in economics theories that people are making rational choices I am not convinced by. Personally I think these people are all just crazy. However I can not rule out conspiracy to discredit. Like UFOs, this movement is an enigma.

I'm assuming the overlay works by GPS location of the copter, and camera feedback to say what direction it's pointed and the zoom level. Combine that with a topo map of the area and OpenStreetMaps, and it's straightfoward to map the camera output image to what part of the ground that represents, and generate the overlays.
Sometimes remakes can actually improve accessibility to an older game with a dated engine/mechanics and make it more enjoyable for newcomers to experience the earlier entries. See: Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 (remade using the excellent Yakuza 0 engine/mechanics).

I do own Witcher 1/Witcher 2 (bought no-doubt during some Steam sale for like $5-$15, tops), and I vaguely recall playing W1 for like a half hour, then put it down and never touched it again. But somehow I then put 90+ hours into Witcher 3.

So yes, the idea of Witcher 1's story remade into a modern engine sounds great. Heck, I would've settled for just Witcher 3's engine. I don't think I'd plop $60 for it--especially considering I waited until I could grab W3 GOTY Edition for like $20 before buying--but it's definitely something I'd eventually want to check out.

Wasn't that meme only due to one third-party docking station putting 12V on the data lines? I never heard any stories about regular USB-chargers or USB-C cables frying the Switch.
Were the Tienanmen people climate activists? I am trying to figure out the parallel between the situations.
So how well are the USB C cables going to work that follow the minimum “mandate” that doesn’t require cables to support data at all? How well are they going to work when people pick up a “USB C” cable and wonder why they aren’t seeing video when they connect their phone to their TV?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect

"""The inner-platform effect is the tendency of software architects to create a system so customizable as to become a replica, and often a poor replica, of the software development platform they are using. This is generally inefficient and such systems are often considered to be examples of an anti-pattern."""

Like I said elsewhere, I'm not completely opposed to the idea of the browser as a complete and fully functional application container for an inner platform. And I want to encourage creative people to try new technologies, especially WASM to explore the idea of "how much can we move to the browser". However, I see the container as the mediator of the network, not the application.

It doesn't need to. That's up to the individual to be more discerning (a long-term good thing as it re-establishes reputation as an asset and focus on community). On an international scale, services could easily be created (think BBB) that act as a reputation scoring system for buyers who want extra assurance (or even insurance which could be offered as a service to skeptical buyers).

While bodycams are generally a good and necessary thing, a general pattern that's now widespread is officers selectively covering up and turning off their cameras or putting up their car hoods during stops to avoid accountability and create selective narratives.

Conveniently ignoring the extreme cost of nuclear power. The power companies simply do not want to invest billions and then wait 7+ years, assuming there are no project delays or cost overruns (which there always are). Renewables and natural gas are much cheaper.
I feel the exact opposite. If you actually think global warming is an existential threat to our society, these are entirely logical actions. I respect them for having the strength of their convictions.
My on-the-sidelines take is:

Bun seems most promising to me, because it's chasing amazing performance _and_ widespread adoption.

Like Just-JS has amazing performance [1], but the author is "just" (a very amazing/talented) benchmark hacker and not necessarily trying/wanting to put in the effort to have "a node replacement" and/or extend his Techempower-specific optimizations into APIs/libraries that would affect the performance day-to-day business apps (which I don't blame him for).

Deno is kinda :shrug: b/c its original "great security" pitch doesn't really matter to anyone who runs in containers.

Let's try a different reason for the free burgers: the lettuce company makes money by selling information that's (somehow magically) sent to them from inside my mouth while I am eating the lettuce about how I chew, maybe using certain aspects of my mouth and stomach which allows them to isolate me as an individual.

Given all that, they put effort into requiring that their lettuce makes its way to my mouth with a free burger.
Fine, I'll pay for the burger: Big Lettuce is still adamant about getting their tracking lettuce in my body.
One has to go to great lengths to find a burger place that doesn't have a deal with such a lettuce-provider.
Whatever, I'll just take the stupid lettuce off.

(I agree, it's a weird analogy.)

Anyway, the stakes are different with free food vs. free content, so to the point that one is selfishly undermining the ability for others to get content for free: that decision is not what makes the world worse.
If the content is truly worth seeing, it's likely that someone will be inspired to make it as accessible as possible[0], regardless of the lack of potential profit, and other content will become less available.

In the early Halo books there's a bit about the development of the mjonlir armor: they put a marine in who didn't have augmented bones/muscles like the Spartan IIs. He moves his arm, the suit accelerates it and dislocates the limb. Then it accelerates all the reactions he has from the pain and more or less turns all his joints to a pulp.

Just thought I'd share.
No. Probes are easy to launch; all strategically important companies, people, and even local authorities have a list of associated ”probes” either active & simmering (like Tesla) or pending with the probable cause for launching a probe in a database somewhere.

Usually, it will result in some sort of cost-of-doing-business fine or not be prioritized at all.

Then, occasionally, someone gets uppity and the simmering pot gets the gas turned up.
That's not entirely true - both the queen's chamber as well as the descending passage are indeed mapped (though the very upper part of the descending passage is blocked). There's a note when entering the descending passage: "This is normally blocked off to visitors, but we can visit in our tour!"

If you didn't get to them by clicking through the photos, you can click the lower left "Dollhouse mode" icon to get a 3d viewer, in which these things are visible. They are both included on the "guided tour" mode, however, if you just load the page and click through the prompts in the middle.

I was hoping that the OP might reply to provide more insight on what specific restrictions there might have been, considering some special permissions appear to have been granted.

I'm using Edge on Windows. If I start playback, then switch to another application window, the player soon starts repeating the last fraction of a second of audio that it played. Then it resumes when I switch back to the Edge window. Presumably this is Edge putting the renderer process to sleep to save power and deal with sites that hog the CPU. The only exception is if I switch to a command prompt (console) window; in that case, the playback keeps going. Anyone know what's going on there?

> We also are not huge believers in operationalizing the data warehouse, i.e. the trend to use the data warehouse as a processing tool out of which data is extracted and pushed to other systems. Since data warehouses are built on an OLAP frame of mind, we think using it as a computation source for automated workflows is not the best idea. At MovingLake we propose using rather realtime connectors with a transformation pipeline which is specifically designed to do these things.

Absolutely, I think this area is under tapped currently. Good luck, fantastic area to work on.

I’m a bit curious how this confers a security advantage. Isn’t the kernel clearing free pages before handing them out? Or does it not bother when it’s a kernel allocation?

If the latter, wouldn’t that be an obvious risk mitigation without even needing to segment by type (ie only hand out zeroed pages for allocations)?

If they’re being zeroed out, then I’m not sure I understand how grouping by type improves UAF security since the attacker couldn’t control the contents.

I’m sure I’m just ignorant here since there’s so much research into this type of hardening. Genuinely curious.

That's a contradiction. Either profit ideology is good or it isn't, but you're trying to say it's situational, uncaring markets don't work that way. Facebook/any private company goal should never be anything egalitarian, and if it is, that's arbitrage and will eventually be stripped away.

I was hoping that the author would address the environmental concerns. But instead, they are mentioned and then dismissed without argument. The enumerations are many that are mentioned:

They are blamed for displacing populations, disrupting the flow of sediments and the migration of fish, destroying natural habitat and biodiversity, degrading water quality, and for the decay of submerged vegetation and the consequent release of methane, a greenhouse gas.

Yes, these all happen and are bad for the environment. Why should we still consider it to be green?
What about this is counterproductive? People get angry, emotional involved. After a few minutes they realize that the glass in front of the painting is not that expensive and all is well. Or is it? That's when they have time to think about destruction and maybe what these people just said about climate change.

What picture exactly is of course not important. Any popular picture with a glass plate in front of it could have done the job. I don't they have any ax to grind about Vermeer, nor will the controversy have any connections to him or his art.

In every way that matters to the world: Besides Meta, their core business is not ad-peddling. I spent close to a decade at Google, the dysfunction that was already present back then (~10 years ago) is now magnified to excess, end result being a corporation employing some of the smartest people in the world being effectively paralyzed and incapable of large-scale world-altering innovation even in the domain that they still have an iron grip on.

Google search is so ripe for disruption that I can't wait to see it dismantled by the first serious contender.
Batteries can get up to 95%+ efficiency, pumped hydro up to 85% efficiency so batteries win out in pure energy efficiency. However, when you take into account the economic efficiency then pumped hydro usually comes out very favorable. Battery prices have been falling rapidly over the last few decades, but simply damming up a mid-sized valley can store such a ginormous amount of water that is it hard to compete.

Perhaps. But convincing the military to replace napalm with a variety of other weapons - also designed to hellishly maim and kill people - is not exactly a huge moral victory, nor a big defeat for them.

Vs. the big oil companies, culture-war conservatives, etc. might be considerably more invested in giving little ground on climate change.
I’m entirely willing to believe that there’s reason to research electrical+chemical+biological effects coming from skin contact with the ground. That there might be measurable biological effects is plausible enough, although the much simpler explanation is that feeling nice walking around on bare feet has small positive effects on health.

Flowers, for example, specially use electric charge to attract and interact with bees.

The people writing this paper however, write like they don’t even have freshman physics levels of understanding of electricity.

Controversial, sure, but the other part is only half right.

The “Alien and Sedition Acts” consisted of four separate acts passed in 1798, by their popular names:

1. The “Alien Friends Act” had a two year term and expired.

2. The “Sedition Act” had a two year term and expired.

3. The “Naturalization Act” had no fixed term but was repealed and replaced in 1802.

4. The “Alien Enemies Act” had no fixed term, and remains in force with some amendments.
I agree the law could have been written better.

It could have just enforced that vendors must use an agreed upon standard by X% of industry participants or similar. Thus if you want a competing connector, you have to propose a new standard and get buy in from others.

But the end result is the same regardless. When the need for a new standard comes, the spec will be updated or abandoned in favor of a new one.

As to Apple’s reasoning for not using USB-C, who’s to say? I would think cable revenue is minuscule at the end of the day, yet here they are still using lightning almost a decade after the rest of the industry standardized on USB-C

At their scale they need to operate in a somewhat sensible way or regulators will target them, that’s life. Society is not going to be beholden to Apple’s design choices if it negatively affects enough people
Witcher 1 wound up being an unexpected hit for me. But I have a thing for the game play style of that game, being a WoW player for a long time. I totally get how it doesn't appeal to a lot of people and I hope this increases the reach of a game with a good story with otherwise dated gameplay.

Please, continue to add past the 14,200 new temperature reading stations in mostly the exclusively US urban/metro areas since 1973.

It is important to stack the average by the virtue of its urban heat (over the cooler but carbon-tax-infused countrysides) and be able to note its mostly upward climate-change trend.

And we won't bother with illusive matrix math in smoothing out the newer stations because we got the eLusive hockey stick trend going now (which started in 1973).

Let's not ignore these 14,200+ new temp. stations because all data are valid.

If you consider policy that favors the economy over more perceived "noble" goals like more welfare, public housing, healthcare, more parks, etc., I'm not here to tell you that you're wrong. Everybody wants those things. If they could, the government would give them to people. The reason they don't is because they literally can't. So, the free market is what we are left with to get them. Policy that makes use of proper incentives is more successful, because like it or not the free market is what works, and the government has to work within that system.
