I think MV3 critics are mostly based on a loss aversion bias, rather than a rational opposition.

If those people truly think it's absolutely essential for the extension system to have the pre-MV3 webrequest API, they should either stop using Safari, or ask Apple to support the same as loudly. But they don't. None of the critics I know does.

I think Google sees this as matching Apple for privacy and security - as there has been so many malicious extensions that caused significant harm. Everyone thinks they won't be affected by malware or bad extension, and they think it's personal responsibility but as is often the case, the best way to improve the security is to eliminate the attack vector whenever possible, instead of trying to control / safeguard it. Given the practical downside is virtually non-existent - I have been using uBlock Light since it came out, and there's been no noticable change in adblocking - I think MV3 made the right trade off, and I would be disappointed if Chrome team cave to the emotional and irrational critics.

Yeah but it is GitHub's fault for banning the user instead of the abusive application. You realize the oauth token is connected to the client_id, right?
Anyone working anywhere from the beginning of time until at least world war 1 (but probably through world war 2) would strongly disagree with you about the all time low in workers rights.
They also aren't really wrong to reduce workers rights, since they are pretty extravagant at the moment. Where they are completely wrong is in not also knee capping the labor market power large companies have now as well. That these large corps have so much labor market power is basically the only justification for unions, for example, and that's more of a two wrongs might make a right justification rather than ascribing any virtue to a union.

Public policy always lags behind science a bit, which seems obvious. And yet at the same time the public seems to be widely confused about the directionality, and there are societal problems which emerge from this confusion, especially because the way humans think. People are scientists, so it seems natural to think some scientists are more scientific than other scientists. That mindset retards scientific advancement. The military is less impacted by this, because they can’t afford to be retarded, scientifically.

Handing out cookies to people demonstrating against a pro-Russian government! Yes, I can totally see how this is morally equivalent to cluster bombing maternity hospitals.
Consider that in a "regular"-style school, there is no reason to expect the situation would be any better, although it might look the way you think it should. Possible differences:

- the kids may not be "just walking around"

- may not be reading a sticker book

- may not be yelling at each other

- may not be finger painting

Why is any of that good? Do you need to see a neat line of kids quietly sitting in desks before you can assume any learning or anything valuable is taking place? Even if the students were being forced to drill their times tables, you can be sure that not all kids are going to figure it out. But probably the kid who might have learned 7th grade math will not actually learn 7th grade math---if anything, they'll likely get bored because things are moving too slow for them and they're forced to spend time doing something that they perceive to be a waste of time. I don't think there's anything inherently better about this situation.

I think you are biased by your notion of what school should look like.

The difference is that every joe blow knows what Gucci looks like but only certain people, if any, can spot a sweater like that. You are signalling to completely different groups. Honestly I'd be surprised if anyone outside diehard fashion "experts" could spot a subdued Brunello sweater at all so the intent there is not to signal at all.

Friend recommendations on Facebook are so creepy. I have an unused, empty Facebook account that recommends connecting with people I know in real life, even if I don't use WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Oculus, or other Facebook products.

Some of these people recommended to me might have given Facebook access to their phone contacts, and that's how Facebook associated me with them. Or that's what I believe happened.

It is worrying that Meta's algorithms have relatively personal data about me when I never engaged with them much. It was pretty uncomfortable to find that out.

SI (in our ceramics) has been a popular construction and pottery material forever, pottery shards are, after all, one of the main ways that we distinguish which ancient cultures were spreading where.

Exactly, that's why a carbon tax is so efficient. It's very simple, and there's a direct link between what is taxed and the desired output.

Everything is gamed, so you try and make your incentives as simple and direct as possible.

If the goal is reducing carbon emissions, you tax carbon emissions. Any other incentive is more indirect, less efficient and more gamable.
“Continuation” is a nasty lie when the original is by no means discontinued or dormant.
I went to a Montessori school during my childhood.

It really was the worst option for a kid like me. They let my ADD run loose and there was no real organization or dicipline at all. I remember i could spend weeks just walking around in the school and do "montissori tasks" every now and then. For regular school work they asked me every other week what i wanted to learn and let me write it down in a schedule and expected me to just learn it on my own and if i needed help i could ask a teacher for help. This led me to do the absolute minimum or pretty much nothing.

I was so behind on everything in school that i had to repeat school years several times and then before finishing cram everything i was behind on during the last year in a separate summer school.

For the kids with natural dicipline and organization it was really benefitial. But for a kid like me that needed to learn dicipline and organization it was truly the worst.

My parents insisted on keeping me there because they really beleived in the montissori way and thought i would do worse in a traditional school.
> Sanctions only affects the people, not the governments,

Western sanctions have demonstrably prevented the Russians from obtaining equipment vital for their military-industrial complex. Right now there were supposed to be hundreds of Armatas and SU-57s, but all the Russians have are a dozen prototypes of each.
Yes.

The disruption has to come from bypassing credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard.

In India, almost every merchant is using UPI which saves them fees of credit card processing.

The world banking is getting more advanced and technical and I am sure payment gateways can bypass the credit card and currency conversion fees with direct bank to bank transfer.

For larger Amount, we are asking our customers to use Wise instead of stripe or PayPal as the saving for us is significant.
It's complicated by the fact that the relationship between wind speed and power isn't linear - it's cubic - double wind speed - 8 times the power!

This only happens in the designed operating window ( too light you get nothing, too strong you need to shut down ).

So one question is what window have your tuned your farm for?

Air density matters as well - the denser the more power - ie the colder the more power.....
FYI: Walmart doesn't treat their workers nearly as harshly as Amazon does. They don't pay as well but no one who works for Walmart is incessantly being told they need to work harder than their peers or they'll be fired. Not like Amazon anyway.

Furthermore, if you work for one Walmart and get fired you can always go work for a different Walmart at a later date as long as the reason why you were fired wasn't for something like theft. They're not too picky about such things.

Anecdote: I knew a guy (neighbor) who worked at a Walmart in a different town that got fired for missing too many work days (don't know why). He had no trouble at all going to work for a new Walmart that had recently opened up nearby. From what I've heard, this is the type of thing that would get you blacklisted from Amazon (because they're just that ridiculous about punishing people who don't put in extra hours or "just do their job").
I will SSH into amazon and check right now.
I'm dead serious, we have to embrace the gig economy and everything it has to change in our lives for the better.

Why would I be paying for bathroom breaks and idle time? I wish there was software to count how much time is lost when users minimize all windows or switch to desktop, so I could deduct it from their pay. I know some of this idle time is spent thinking about problems to solve related to the job, but it's something that can be done in your free time, or while commuting.

I wouldn’t assume they will no longer be able to show good ads. Ads don’t require tracking to work and there’s plenty of ad-targetable signal that Facebook users give the platform while using the service.

For example, if you join a cycling-in-Berlin group, they can still use that information to show you ads for protein bars and lederhosen.
Who is the "we" you envisage will be invading? They're unlikely to get far. Luxembourg is in NATO. Jersey is defended by the UK. France and Spain protect Andora.
That's precisely what I'm saying. I am an adult, and if I want to pay for a service with MY data, I should be able to consent to that. I can't, so this regulation doesn't respect me and my rights.
> If they can't show good ads in Europe, I assume that they will lose money and eventually have to close down here.

They can't do it based on external browsing activity.

In-Facebook likes, comments, group memberships, clicks, etc. sound like they'd still be applicable, and give pretty good targeting info for a lot of folks.

Leveraging language models for building a startup
Are you referring to [1]? Cause to me it seems like Russia has been given every chance to establish peace. Peace for an act of aggression Russia initiated because they didn’t like that Ukraine was pro-US and considering joining NATO (which would have put a critical naval port under US control).

Is the “baiting” aspect the US courting Ukraine to be in NATO? That seems rather mild considering that’s a sane strategy given how Russia under Putin has unprovoked invaded neighbors in the past (see Georgia). Putin has also robbed the Russian people through his oligarchs and rampant corruption and acted like a despot reinstalling a dictatorship in effect within Russia, killing or imprisoning anyone who didn’t bow the knee or threatened to expose him. He’s also struck out at the US by trying to sow discord and confusion by having the US elections hacked. Not sure why you’re painting Russia here as the poor innocent victim here, but this line that the US is the cause of the war in Ukraine is kind of laughable when you look at the totality of Putin’s career.

Not every job position is intended to be a long term prospect. Especially something like an Amazon warehouse where the demand for workers is highly seasonal. Advertising that there's no interview required is actually very attractive to a lot of people who struggle to hold down a steady job.

Can't stand it, myself. Of the various Neovim macOS UIs, this is the one that is perhaps closest to MacVim, but the UI choices about having the drawers present all the time and other pieces make it both less reliable and less usable than MacVim itself.

That's the main problem with most of the neovim GUIs—they get opinionated about what a Vim GUI should be. First, foremost, and always, it must be vim in a GUI window. Second, it must have native OS keybindings and integration (clipboard, menu, etc.). Finally, it should be able to have possible extensions that work well with existing plug-ins. (I use Fern for my file tree. I don’t need a built-in file tree that is always visible.) They must, at the core, always be vim. This is why I think that Oni2 was a mistake and why it’s one of the few software packages I regret paying. I don’t want vim motion keys with VSCode extensions. I want a Vim GUI.
Oof, I remember how terrifying it was to mount one of those Athlon coolers, having heard so many stories about chipping the CPU or cracking a corner off.

Nitpicking (or maybe educating?) but WYSIWYG is specifically editors that allow you to create things like GUIs by dragging and dropping elements rather than writing code. Most text editors allow you to change the font one way or another, but that doesn't mean they are WYSIWYG editors ("What You See Is What You Get").

There's a joke that reality has a well-known liberal bias.

At least, it used to be a joke. As with Poe's Law, it has become increasingly difficult to tell.

As one Republican political commentator put it this year, "Democrats have lost their way, but Republicans have lost their minds." There are many Republican policies that are simply delusional. Not merely differences of opinion, but clearly at odds with reality. And not merely crank extremists, but leadership at the very highest levels.

Furthermore, these policies often manifest in very hostile ways. The only way to support them is to believe the Democrats are actively engaged in attempting to destroy the United States. As you can see on HN and elsewhere, they express this in uncivil ways.

Because of this, it's not surprising that companies would tend to hire people who don't reject basic science and basic human rights. And further, that they won't hire people who disrespect the rest of their staff.

This is difficult, because we want to believe that the parties simply represent different value systems. There may even have been a time that it was true. But today, that assumption leads to false equivalences. Well-educated, more-intelligent-than-average techies will not be evenly distributed among political parties when one party is explicitly rejecting the intellectual tools that smart people use to distinguish truth from falsehood.

I believe Musk's tweet is an exaggeration -- another example of his party's willingness to reject reality and substitute their own when it suits them. But I don't doubt that Democrats are massively overrepresented. And that's not a bad thing if smart people prefer their policies.
Neovide is fast, but does not have any macOS-level integration. While it’s nice that it’s not electron like so many other neovim GUIs, it does not work well on macOS.
Facebook will still be around in 5 years. The question is whether it will be relevant.

People make the comparison to MySpace, because it's the most comparable service - Facebook de-throned it as the king of social media.

And incidentally, MySpace is still around. They survived the de-throning by pivoting, which is inevitably what Facebook will do. I think we've seen the groundwork for it already.
I wonder if this includes anything from Sci-Hub or are they unrelated.

I would assume that most Wikipedia articles are biased by whatever interests have skin in that game (and deep pockets). For example, I'm sure the sugar industry has their hand correcting "misinformation" on Wikipedia pages related to the benefits of sugar.

Political articles on Wikipedia? I assume they're all biased. Some by groups I agree with, others by groups I don't.
I see systems like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion as "tools" that would aid us in our jobs.

Software Engineers or artists' jobs aren't going to "vanish" instantaneously because of AI; instead, it would make our lives easier.

Low-level menial, entry-level tasks like writing basic, repetitive code or basic design tasks would vanish or slowly phase away. Higher-level functions which require a lot of creativity and critical thinking won't be replaced with AI, at least for a VERY long time.

As it is currently, ChatGPT behaves more like a programmer who is just learning how to code. Just like Photoshop or Figma is a tool for designers, Software Engineers will soon start using ChatGPT to automate certain mundane tasks.

We are already doing that on sites like StackOverflow, where we find Regexes or stuff like that.
The real problem for Amazon is that people who used to work there never want to go back. Either you're OK with the stack ranking system that favors psychopaths or you're glad to be rid of it after you're gone.
