So the attack goes: 1) compromise some site to serve arbitrary JS 2) have it serve simple JS that requests other JS that contains the real malicious payload.

And the reason for this two-step architecture is to make it convenient to change the real payload.

And the problem is where to host the real payload. The first idea was Cloudflare, but Cloudflare keeps taking that sort of thing down. So now they host it "on the blockchain" which means it "can’t be blocked".

What I don't understand is who is actually serving the HTTP call that effectively proxies the data from the blockchain. It seems like they (like Cloudflare, or a regular hosting service) are opening themselves up to all sorts of risks by serving arbitrary content.

The thing being discussed is attempting to access deeply nested values, so short-circuiting here is a win-win. I.e., you wouldn't want to unnecessarily traverse tons of empty dictionaries using the `.get() or {}` trick.

TCR is just a small generalization of what the game industry has been doing for awhile. So in that sense, we are not at all the first.

But I'm honestly not sure why it's not been done on the web yet. To me, it's a really elegant approach. It is harder to implement in a general way (like as a library) because you need to run code on the server. And as others have pointed out, it's harder to make fast.

Perhaps multiplayer is just new enough to the web that there hasn't been time for these approaches to evolve.

I mean, React was also inspired by game techniques that at that time were decades old.

>> that most people (who do not have such instinct) will choose a different, more logical and beneficial, behavior.

> Do you have evidence for any part of this statement?

I do not understand which evidence you need. You yourself explained that your choice is the result of an instinct. I said that people who have no such instinct will behave differently. It's true by definition. Ok, the "most" part of my sentence is controversial. Maybe I'm wrong, but I definitely can't see a lot of volunteers in the world that behave counter to their own egoistic, logical goals.

> And I feel that the benefits provided to me and my life, as I've previously described, make it rational for me to behave this way on an individual level.

There are no benefits to you and your life. Prove otherwise.

> there can never be evidence for their existence

I never said this.

You do not understand what all of this has to do with the meaning of Universe, because you fail to understand that, without it, there are no reasons to think long-term for each logical individual. You should explain where you find such reasons and I don't see that you could.

That doesn't help because inflation needs to be in tune with the economy, so somebody has to be able to adjust the amount. If the tail emission is too small then it's still deflationary. If it's too big, then there's too much inflation.

To adjust properly there has to be somebody who decides what "in tune" is. We're either back to centralization, or it's some sort of popularity vote which is unlikely to produce the right result.

As one example, Nespresso hired George Clooney as the face of its advertisements after years of him being featured in women’s media as one of the sexiest men around. As sex drives so much of human behavior, do you really think that Clooney’s presence on this brand’s advertisements had no effect on at least some consumers?

If quacks like a duck, it is a duck. Starfleet is a navy, one that has a way to high share of officers, nowhere near enough NCOs and enlisted men and a worrying tendency of carrying dependents and civilians into combat, but a navy still.

Regarding diplomacy:

- Kithomer Accords, re-established between Cpt. Sisko and Chancellor Gowron, the first accords were Picard's job (could be wrong about that)

- everything Bajor related, despite the planet being the most strategic important one in the Alpha Quadrant there was never an official embassy mentioned, everything was run by Sisko

- the Alliance with the Romulans during the Dominion war, again by Sisko and this Admiral

- the ultimate peace treaty between the Dominion and the Federation

- every first contact mission (understandable, Starfleet is the exploration arm of the Federation with a clear charter here) but also every follow-up mission (see Lower Decks)

Just from top of my head, all major diplomatic treaties have been negotiated by Starfleet personell. In a sensey Starfleet is a state-within-a-state, running crucial functions of the larger state with little to no oversight.

> As it turns out, getting to the Moon was the least risky part of the mission. The more dangerous — not least because it was unknown — was getting off the Moon. Collins was orbiting the command module, and it was hugely difficult to dock. Then there was the possibility of a computer malfunction or a broken ascent engine. There was the fear that the astronaut’s spacesuits could just combust because of the lunar dust interacting with oxygen in the module.

Was this whole mission way riskier than we even imagined? It seems like we got very lucky with these things succeding.
Somewhat related question, how do people find good web games anymore? In the old days you would peruse the highest-rated stuff on websites with Flash game collections (Miniclip, I think EbaumsWorld?) These days I'm aware of itch.io, but most of the games are... small and not very good? I would love to have a curated list of good ones instead of sifting through piles of hobby projects.

My ability to find "good" games on Steam, as opposed to just... games, is really bad also. I don't know if it's Steam's fault or my fault. But I just want to play good games and I just want to be able to find games that are good in the same way another game is..

Basically how do I find more lovingly-crafted top-down RPGs where you get stats and level up and stuff? I literally don't know?

Lol, we are dependent on banks like a heroin addict is addicted to his fix, their cheap, easy free money. Banks are a sickness.

MG4 EV is £30k new (for the "SE Long Range). Let's compare it to a Ford Focus which is probably roughly equivalent? That's £28.5k for the base model.

So you don't need to save a lot. Even at today's prices you will save that in a few years depending on how much you drive.

They seem to be purely on the growth-by-acquisition trend, hell almost all of their products are acquisitions that have been more-or-less shoddily "integrated"... just a week ago they bought Loom for a billion $ - money that would have been better invested in bringing their code and service quality up to speed.

Greatest idea ever
I'm very interested in what infrastructure needs to be put in place to make EV fleet vehicles a reality.

Imagine you have a fleet of EV emergency vehicles. How do make sure they're operable in the event of a far too common electrical outtage?

You'd need EV lots, outfitted with chargers, and serious battery backup to make that happen.

We're pretty far away from that infrastructure existing. As much as I'd like to see ev fleet vehicles on the road, a too rapid, forced transition to ev's for fleet vehicles scares me.
What is the resolution of the speed detection? When was the map last updated?

Or to put this another way:

We have a system for perfectly knowing what the drivers speed is.
We also perfectly know what the legal street speed is.

Instead of limiting the drivers maximum speed to the legal street speed, we instead just tell their boss?

Looks to me like Amazon wants their drivers to violate the speed limit but then also want to have a record of when they do so they can fire them for cause.
I also regret giving them my data. At work, we bought one of their first kits. We were doing genetics research and my boss got some for Christmas and gifted them to everyone in the group.

Technically, 23andme is also pretty bad, which is hard to understand given that they employ very competent people and they are well funded. Seems like a space ripe for disruption. Their biggest competitor, DecodeME, never really aimed at B2C and just used customers to harvest data, then sold to a pharma.

23andme genetic risk scores are mediocre at best. Promethease makes better predictions. For example, in my case I have a high risk MHC allele, which is both trivial to predict and well understood since the 1980s. Never popped up on their reports, yet it is the first item you see if you feed your 23andme raw data to Promethease, or if you analyze the data yourself.
There's less pressure on banks to pay a decent % on deposits than you think.

Many banks have hundreds of billions of $$$ sat in accounts paying close to zero interest.

A very small % of people seek out good rates on their cash.

Also, when rates rise, people tend to use their savings to pay down any debt (mortgage overpayments for instance)

Isn't the name misleading? When hearing "microfrontend" one might think that it is a technology to make frontend code smaller. But it is the opposite: there are more static resources (because you build a multi-megabyte file for every page or section of the site), and a proper name would be "megafrontend", where "mega" reflects the order of JS/CSS file size.
At that point they can just say "Top law firm Davis Polk" and then might decide that they prefer the shorter headline of "Top law firm".

I bought a house two months ago and have about a quater of an acre of mowable grass. I bought an 80v Greenworks Pro push mower for the job and can litteraly mow the whole lawn in one of the two batteries I have. The biggest thing for battery push mowers is that not only is it less finicky and quieter..but the VIBRATION. My hands thank me compared to gas. I really think that for push mowers (riding is a little different) short of the bottom of the market, there is no reason to buy a gas push mower anymore. That market is dead.

Not really any magic, just a lot of careful engineering.
Considering most people that encounter USB cables these days is for the purposes of charging some device, and a smaller minority will actually care about optimizing the charging speed, the universal connector solves a lot of the important usability problems even if it creates other kind of problems. Engineering is about trade offs and while separate connectors might make you personally happy, it would probably result in more expensive devices and cables that have even worse interop (the more generic the hw can be, the cheaper it is at scale).

I think the logos would be helpful but I doubt anything will happen in that direction because the benefit is likely marginal.

Personally, as my garden equipment has needed replacement, I have been switching over to Ego battery-electric. Awesome equipment, very happy with it (I now have a mower, weedwacker, blower, chainsaw and hedge trimmer).

The only real issue is that the blower doesn't last long on a battery, which is no problem for cleanup after mowing, but not so good for leaf cleanup in the fall. Since I now have multiple pieces of equipment, I do have a battery (and charger) for each including a large one for the mower that I can swap out as I'm working. By the time the last one is drained, I have been able to charge a couple of fresh ones.
