Yes, multiplexing data flows that need flow control on top of protocols that have flow control is a difficult problem.

SSHv1 had multiplexing but no flow control in the SSHv1 protocol so if you did a bulk transfer over a forwarded port your interactive session channel could "freeze" if the bulk transfer got flow controlled on the receiving end or if it took up all available bandwidth.

SSHv2 fixed this by adding flow control at the SSHv2 channel layer protocol, but the price paid for this was that that flow control essentially acts as a brake on each channel's bandwidth, so you just can't use SSHv2 for high-bandwidth bulk transfers unless you have implementations tuned for that (meaning that they set huge channel windows).

Nesting flow control just doesn't work very well.
Nope. Only for those lucky one-in-a-thousand among them who did eventually win.

Nobody respects, or even remembers, those who fought "to the bitter end" but lost anyway.
So that a winning gain would be the 'opposite' of a loss, they are balanced. Your situation is enhanced by some factor if you win, and diminished by the same factor if you lose.

Of course the actual amounts, percentages, proportions look bigger for the win compared to the loss, but that's just maths.

Since you brought up Disney, the newer immersive rides at amusement parks (more Universal Studios, but Disney is following suit) are really cool. Most don’t use headsets yet, but they’ll use a screen maybe with 3D glasses, coupled with some sort of pivoting but stationary car. Sometimes it is rumbling or a bit of environmental feedback, whatever. Even with a 360 imax, the environmental manipulation solidifies the experience as being hyper-real.

I wonder if for consumer VR, we are really missing similar environmental manipulation. Like, maybe a lazy boy seat or something that can move?
If banks require WEI, then maybe it's time to boycott the banks too. Brave should start redirecting people who go to bank websites to a crypto exchange instead. oh wait..
The obvious implementation would warn the caller that there is a fee and tell them how much it is, and then notify the recipient if they had a caller who refused the charge and provide their number.

Robocallers might then refuse the call if there is any fee at all, which is great, and then if you get the one from your doctor's office you see it in the call log and can exempt the number for next time.

I screwed around with trying to compute Bayes factors for models of distributions over set partitions, having been led astray by Bayesian phylogenetic inference methods. It was a waste of time--in practice the epistemology was terrible because the choice of prior distributions had such a huge effect on model comparisons. On top of that, the computations were highly unstable so I had to do a lot of fancy multi-temperature MCMC stuff that never quite worked.

Unless your priors are based on actual observations, stick with model selection approaches that are based on measured predictive power, or at least plausible approximations thereof, e.g. Aki Vehtari et al. LOO-CV (approximate leave-one-out cross-validation):

Passwords aren't a trivial part of this. OpenAI offers login with Google/Apple/MS. Managing their own passwords as well wasn't a mandatory part of the product, but a trade off: they probably got more users, but also more complexity and risks.
Yes! There are so many use cases where a false alternate option is given as part of reasoning why the given solution is ok, often the only option is accept this or stop using it.

This is why users don’t complain about e.g. privacy tracking. It’s not that they like being tracked, it’s that you consent or don’t use the product.

This article did not adequately cover the risks of margin loans.

Even assuming you don't hold anything that gets removed from the marginable securities list and you don't get caught off guard by changes in margin requirements (they probably change at the worst possible time, during high volatility), the Interactive Brokers agreement appears to state that they can just immediately liquidate your margined securities if you fall below their margin requirements -- there might be no margin call or opportunity to add funds.

I'm sure there are other risks that I haven't even considered, but the above are enough to steer me away.
There is a legislatively easy way to solve this. Make "people who have full control over all aspects of their devices" a protected class. Make it illegal to refuse service to those people.

Getting there is a whole different level of difficult, of course.
Yes, because risk has value, there are substantial gains yo be made taking on risk (and it working out), not to mention substantial losses by both avoiding risk or taking the risk on and it not working out.

From a purely business perspective its ideal to make the other guy take the risk, without financial penalty. More often both parties understand risk and can figure out who wants the value/risk and who prefers the less value/less risk.

There the piece suggests that KCl conduction is sufficient to enable the electric- acoustic effect, and brine is sea water, which also conducts.

It’s a very convenient disguise of a series of entertaining forever stories to distract from any kind of secret militech development since that time.

If one compares with the astronomical realities of space and time and that historical “good old Terran” context, things become very clear on the probability front.

It also seems to be a great contender for “top mass distraction news of the summer”. I mean the world is literally burning and we just keep consuming, fuelling our legacy systems like the 80s never ended (unfortunately they did).

In all seriousness, do you want a company that spends its time and money vetting feature announcements, or do you want a company that spends its time and money building the thing that it is supposed to be building?

I would much, MUCH rather do business with, or buy products from a company with poor marketing and a fantastic product than the seemingly thousands of companies out there now that spend more on marketing than actual products [1]

[1] Note: I may have PTSD about this. The Telco I formally worked for commonly spent 10x on marketing a new product a service compared to what it cost to roll out, which was also many times more money than the product was ever forecast to bring in in revenue.

History repeats itself. I'm old enough to remember the IE lawsuit in 2001.

Now I'm reading articles about how Microsoft is abusing its desktop position to push Edge, and Chrome is abusing its stance as the dominant browser to push this nonsense.

Give it 10 more years, it will die down. Then 10 years after that we'll be discussing the same thing again.
OK, we'll have twenty browsers, all different skins on Chromium and all controlled by Google, and see if the EU legislators can understand the concept, and, if they can, whether the banks will allow them to continue to understand said concept.
I doubt they will since it is the bank using a feature, not Google that force them.

If the reason "only chrome" works is that the others refuse to ship signed binaries, I think google is going to be in court with a reasonable case. They make the signing barrier low. It's as low as store entry. The refusal to sign code isn't an "only google can do it" thing its "only signed browsers can do it, but there can be many signed browsers"

of course the case is more complex: the reasons they won't sign will be material.
Isn't it also the city/towns responsibility when someone files for a building permit to verify such things such as ownership?

Memories are short. Everyone who got on the early web knew the problems that would come with one browser dominating the market. We had that with IE and it took a lot of work and trouble to dismantle that. It was quite obvious from day 1 that Chrome was going to do, or atleast try to do, the same thing. Yet, people fell in line. That's the problem and I'm not sure resistance or anything else is going to solve that.
Or you could take the Singapore approach and execute all drug traffickers.

Whether this is moral is arguable, but it certainly has been effective - drug deaths per capita in Singapore are about 100 times lower than in the US.

And if you include the executed drug traffickers in the count, the total is still 80 times lower.
A lot of older people use VR for fitness (or younger kids just to play beat saber) and belong to none of those groups. They got what they wanted, and are excited to get more of it.

As a side note, as of today Firefox has something like 2.79% of the browser market, coming in fifth, behind Opera, Edge, Safari and (of course) Chrome. Firefox only comes slightly ahead of Samsung Internet which I have only just heard of today. It's really sad to see how far Firefox has fallen.

Phone calls to mobile phones are much more expensive in other countries.

In the US, mobile phones share their area codes with landlines, and it's the person with the mobile phone who pays for the "airtime" of their incoming (these days it's basically free so you can't tell, but historically it was much more expensive)

In the rest of the world, mobile phones have their own special area codes that are charged to a higher rate to the person who is making the call, and incoming calls are free for the mobile subscriber.

If you look at the pricing plans for VoIP providers, calling a mobile phone can be up to 10x more expensive than a landline (e.g. I'm seeing for France a landline is 4c/min, a mobile is 17c/min on RingCentral). But calling a US phone of any kind is often even completely free.

No one finds any of these reverse engineering the OS?
Sure. And impose a fine of 3-5 billion Euros. Which Google will fight in the courts for a few years, then eventually pay. Without actually changing their practices. For which they will again be fined a few years later.

I wouldn't be surprised if the people who are ultimately behind WEI are already anticipating those fines, and have concluded that they will be well worth the gain in control that this feature gives to Google.
Being wrong in such a complicated field is always possible. Your personal experience and expertise can only go so far.
Weird. I'd find changing browsers a bigger pain than changing banks. I have like six accounts already, if one refuses to work with Brave, I'll just move the funds and cancel it...

In my opinion this is different. As I see it, in your example, this would be suing an app maker for the closed down app store.

In OPs example Google is providing a feature, that you can use or not freely, then the bank dicided to use it. The problem is of course Google providing it but it is the bank that close down their site for non-chrome users, not Google.

"Press 1 to pay $0.10 and connect the call" is an elaborate game?

It doesn't happen to anyone who regularly calls you because you've exempted them but it handles the case of someone you know calling from an unusual number with something important, because they just pay the pittance. But spammers can't afford to do that at scale, and if they can you can raise it to $0.25.

I'm pretty good at budgeting and estimating because I've been at it a long time. The 15-20% are just things that go sideways -- usually on the client's side and I typically make a snap judgment not to get into a scope/billing dispute because being easy to work with is part of my brand.

And I find I can often avoid detailed budgeting and scope, controlling the latter via project management once the engagement starts. (I have a pretty sophisticated spreadsheet if I need to get deep in the weeds on estimating, but it's a relic of when I did time-and-materials work.)

Example: If past experience says a project is going to take about X thousand dollars per month worth of effort spread across Y number of months before we're likely to see results, then my whole budgeting and project definition processes come down to understanding the business metrics success will be judged on and building scope around that. We can manage task backlog and progress reporting with weekly check-ins.

I don’t expect the EU to allow Google to treat fines as just a part of doing business.

If a fine doesn’t lead in a change of behaviour, more rigorous measures will probably be implemented. EU lawmakers are itching for a reason to split up big tech giants; Google may very well give them one. And representing a sizable part of the global economy, the EU is something you ignore at your peril.

As an anecdote, I once sent a vulnerability report to Microsoft that it was possible to get a certificate in Azure for a domain you didn’t control and have it validated with a third domain that was attacker controlled.

The downgrades seems accurate to me. With how unstable the world is, I don't think any entity should have AAA rating. The US I agree also has severe "deterioration of governance" in my opinion.

What I find despicable is that Yellen ignores all of this and calls the downgrade "arbitrary". This is a slap in the face to the credibility of independence of the credit agency when the residing US Treasury Secretary tries to impose her opinion to deflate the agencies move.

Standard & Poor's downgrades its rating of the US credit rating from AAA to AA+ 10 years ago. And it's still at that.
