I don't use Brave, but software updates install new stuff all the time. I don't see why this is news.

Now if they start routing all of your traffic through their VPN, that would be news.

I don't think every new feature an application depends on needs user consent to install.
Diametrically opposed except for on the issue of free speech. Which they define directly in the declaration based on the international definition.

I highly doubt there would be any disagreement between signatories about the legality of CSAM in a free speech regime, to say that this is the issue to be focused on in the light of the loss of rights within the last century is misguided IMO.

I have been put into atrial fibrillation by the aggravation caused by spicy food from a popular indian restaurant in north Seattle. I had to get cardioverted. Was it due to stress? Was it due to the sustained rise in blood pressure? Was it caused by GI? It doesn't matter. I have to avoid it now, for safety.

Well.. common style bread making uses yeast, and no bacteria are involved, for the most part. And yeast also likes sugar and flour. The salt doesn't make any difference at all in my experience, as far as growth is concerned, it's purely to get the exact right taste you want. To actually impact growth I believe it would make the bread too salty to eat.

Sourdough bread making is different in that you're feeding a kind of symbiotic relationship of lactic acid bacteria and natural (non-industrial yeast), and you try to get the balance of your sourdough starter right (too much bacteria - it gets sour. You don't actually want sourdough bread to be sour, except for maybe a slight hint of it. Too little - you don't get a nice bread). And there's also a risk that other unwanted bacteria start growing and destroys the taste you're looking for. So yes, for sourdough you'll have to take care of your sourdough starter. It's not that it's terribly tricky. And you can e.g. flatten it and dry it completely and keep it that way, and re-start it later. Nice if you're flying to elsewhere, for example (something I did). But even here I don't know anyone who adds salt to the starter, you add salt when you make bread, and that's purely for taste (in my household salt was forgotten several times.. everything works out exactly the same, you don't notice until you try tasting the bread..!)
Smart invert on iOS can do the job for you (can be enabled as an option for the accessibility shortcut from settings).
It may not me the most slick and elegant, but it had a very nice, minimalist design, and I deeply enjoyed the gameplay.

Continuity was a small platformer, in which you needed to rearrange the levels in the form of a sliding puzzle. It was programmed by some Swedish students and published as a Flash game on Kongreate. In 2010, the same year, in which Steve Jobs published Thoughts on Flash.

Thankfully the guys programmed a sequel for iOS, Continuity 2: The Continuation. It was even better than the original, using the iPhones rotation sensor for additional gameplay options. With iOS 11 Apple removed support for 32-Bit-Apps, book burning a huge part of iOS's early legacy of creative games, including Continuity 2.

Lesson: Never trust Apple with games or with history.

California's ban starts January 1st, 2024. A handful of US communities (~150 as of this comment) have also instituted bans. This will drive a shift to electric blowers, and the existing combustion population will eventually age out. You don't have to ban existing units, you target the supply chain. There are no antique gas lawn blowers that will be tenderly loved and cared for as they age, they'll be thrown out and replaced with electric.

The "it's not open source" gate keepers really are bringing everybody down. I don't know why people care so much about the OSI and their arbitrary and narrow definition of such a generic term? It seems like owning a premium domain name (opensource.org) is all that matters for having credibility on the internet.

Maybe I'm being unfair, and that org actually does something useful? Can someone enlighten me if that's the case?
> php scripts are meant to be run once per request memory leaks are not an issue

Yes, and that’s exactly why I said that PHP is awful for background processing, because there the process ideally runs continuously, or at least as long as there’s data to process. With PHP, I have to continuously re-spawn the processes to keep the memory leaks in check.

If your application is so simple that it doesn’t need to process data outside of the request/response cycle, I’m sure PHP is fine.

And sure, you can compensate for PHPs lack of async processing by spawning more processes, but that makes the RAM bloat problem even worse.
Care to share the best options? I'm interested.

I don't know, it feels like your thinking could be used to justify absolutely any conspiracy theory no matter how nuts.

It's obviously totally fair to be skeptical about any statement anybody makes. Anything could be a lie. But this isn't the OP being skeptical about a claim YouTube made. It's the OP making an assumption about what was being done based just on a misleading headline, and then you posting that it's a legitimate concern because YouTube could be lying about the totally different thing they're doing.
Capitalism describes only who gets the money from a factory according to a pice of paper with no other relation with the work performed in said factory.
Everyone’s definition of a successful project varies, but 5k GitHub stars (at time of writing before people started gaming the metric) qualifies to me.

Modesty aside, the general principle reminds me of Alex Graveley, the eng lead on GitHub Copilot, saying his compensation for creating Copilot was only a $20k bonus and a title bump.

They’re both good illustrations that “make something people want” is a necessary step to turning code into wealth, but not a sufficient step.

I've made one myself. Securing the Thermos is a challenge, but it is possible. I bought two from some small online store in Canada a year ago. There was also someone selling them in India, IIRC, and a vendor in New York. Decals you can buy on eBay - there's apparently a seller that specializes in selling vinyl decals from Star Trek and other franchises. The recipe is simple:

- Get rid of the Thermos logo (surprisingly, the weird Internet advice to rub it off with sugar turns out to be 100% correct);

- Apply the decals

- Enjoy

swap-able battery is probably the answer here. You don't need the structural rigidity of a car and you have a truck/garage to store the other battery in.
Same with Hatchards (close to Waterstones' Picadilly shoppe).
Okay, and if you choose to live there and want to drive a monstrosity then the DMV should require you to prove that you can do so safely, much like they do with Starbucks Downtown Coastal Elites that have to get a motorcycle license before they can paint the road with their brains in what would otherwise be a minor traffic accident in a car.
Availability (or lack thereof) of source code is not a business model. "Open source" doesn't magically make money, and neither does closed source. I agree that too many people out there think that they can publish something to Github and the cash will start rolling in. Regardless of how useful your product is, you still need to build a business around it.
Take an informed guess at the stack they want and use that example to make the general case.

Interviewer: What method do you use to bake an apple pie?

Chef: For a traditional pie, I'll go with Granny Smith apples and cut ice cold shortening into the flour for a light flaky crust. That said, some of my customers like the fuller flavor of Macintosh apples, which need a bit less cooking time and more lemon to balance the sweetness. One of my regulars orders their pies parbaked on graham cracker crust, which required X Y and Z changes from the traditional method.
One of the implications of the Gulf Stream weakening is that Northern Europe will get cold and Northern Northern Europe will get hella cold (eg. Norway):

"If it collapses, it could lower temperatures by up to 10 or 15 degrees in Europe and lead to rising sea levels in the eastern US. It would also disrupt rain that billions rely on for agriculture."
The laws and regulations around genetic information seem to be (intentionally?) easy to misread.

Health and Human Services has a FAQ page[1] which states:

> genetic information is health information protected by the Privacy Rule. Like other health information, to be protected it must meet the definition of protected health information: it must be individually identifiable and maintained by a covered health care provider, health plan, or health care clearinghouse.

However, according to many other sources[2][3], the interpretation of these rules DOES NOT apply to companies like 23&Me. I assume the company is not considered "a covered health care provider, health plan, or health care clearinghouse", but (again) the HHS definitions are (intentionally?) vague/misleading[4].

I suppose you need to be very familiar with regulatory law to actually make sense of this junk. (I don't know the history of these regulations and carve-outs, but the tin-foil-hat part of me wants to blame lobbyists/legal-corruption for the lack of common-sense and simply worded regulations.)

They don't need to sell if they hold to maturity, at which point they'll get their investment paid back in full. Their only "loss" is the opportunity cost of not having been able to hold better-yielding bonds, but that's not a loss in an accounting or practical sense.
The main footman in C for novices is memory handling.

-Separate all memory creation and destruction(anything that has a malloc and free on it) and handling of it into independent modules(files).

-Automate the above memory creation and destruction with a language like CLisp or Clojure so everything that access memory uses the same code that is well tested and minimal. Creating primitive equivalents to C++ vectors or node handling is extremely useful.

Wit automation you can warrantee that everything allocated is freed, but if you are not used to meta programming you can start doing it manually.

-Always use limited arrays for accessing things and structures, use single digits globals in your entire program. The complex pointers' arithmetic should be limited to the memory isolated modules and only should be done if you really know what you are doing.

-Never be too "smart", write simple code. Do not use more that "pointers to pointers" complexity(forbidding things like pointers to pointers to pointers). Create multiple simple lines instead of long sophisticated ones.

-Use Valgrind, specially in the isolated modules and always make it to have 0 warnings.

-If you use Xcode, learn to use the debugger(lldb) for sophisticated debugging(learn about breakpoints, watchdogs and printing variables). If you learn the text commands you will be able to use it anywhere(command line, vim or emacs), in any OS(windows, linux, Mac, WebAssembly).
That's as disingenuous as me saying the modern liberal agenda is to literally allow (and encourage) people to commit crimes.

My dad actually worked at a startup (two programmers if I recall) in 1990 onward that wrote very similar software to MS Visual Basic and even has a BASIC derived language. It was called Realizer. They started working on this before MS announced VB, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was already similar software around. If I recall correctly, my dad was at a trade show and their booth was right next to Microsoft (whom he turned down an offer from the year prior to work at this startup instead).

Needless to say, we're watching the video of a VB demo, not a Realizer one :)

I can't find much online about the original Realizer, but there is a Wikipedia article for CA-Realizer, which was the version released after CA bought their company. CA-Realizer didn't really go anywhere and my dad eventually left CA as well. Very cool story though, and a large reason I chose to work at small companies fresh out of college too.

>our suggestion is kind of like "well you should miss out on those gems"

No, I'm the same way. Sometimes an album only has 1 good song; other times an album is great but I can't stand 1 or 2 songs. The important thing is that I listened to the whole album! I'm judging the songs in the context of their creators. I'm experiencing them together and in order, and that's a very different experience than interleaving songs. Interleaving is fine and can be an artform in itself (we used to call it a "mix tape") but I believe you owe it to the artist to listen to the thing they made in its entirety. It would be like reading a book collection interleaving the chapters. It's not fair to you or the authors.

That's how I feel about it. You ARE missing something.

>Physical media doesn't support the artist much better either, that's been a topic of conversation since I was a kid.

I have many musician friends, and they would ALL disagree with you quite strenuously. The money they make on streaming is ~0. The money they make selling CDs is almost all profit - and it's also the thing they made instead of sliced and diced and mixed with other things other people made.
Visual Pinball X [1] is a free modern pinball simulator. It also supports VR, and comes pretty close to feeling like the real thing (sans realistic bumping).

There are hundreds of VPX format tables available online including original works, replicas of physical tables and replicas of existing digital tables. I've played dozens of hours of Stern's Tron Legacy both on a physical table and in Visual Pinball X, and I prefer VPX over the real thing.

There's also a high quality remake of 3D Space Cadet [2] available. Playing that one in VR feels like stepping into a PC in the 90s.

Cost basis is not so cut and dry. In fact, the IRS (federal law?) allows you to use almost any reasonable method for determining it as long as you are consistent.

An example of where the brokerage wouldn't know:

You buy 5 shares of stock at $X and then a few months later buy 6 more shares at $Y. Later on you sell 3 shares for $Z. What is your cost basis? It could be $3X or it could be $3Y. Or maybe a blend of the two $(2X + Y)! The IRS thinks that you should be the one to decide, not the brokerage.

Loss of smell is a well-studied disorder long before COVID-19 ever came around:
"However, some reports (Mattes et al., 1990; Mattes, 1993, 1995) are contrary to the earlier suggestions that anosmics do not experience problems related to their food intake. These authors report that ~14% of anosmic patients experienced a body weight gain exceeding 10% while ~6.5% experienced a loss of at least that amount." (https://academic.oup.com/chemse/article/24/6/705/320339)

Some people might with diminished (but not completely eliminated) senses of smell might compensate by eating more of certain flavors that they CAN taste. Also worth noting that there are tons downsides, ignoring the obvious lack of sensory pleasure most people get from food. They are less likely to smell rotten and spoiled food, smell smoke from a nearby fire, etc.
