This marks the moment Google officially decided it didn’t know how to innovate any longer, and that it’s time to grab all they can to increase the bottom line.

Most technology companies follow this same cycle. When they’re in the innovation/disruption phase, there are less rules, they just focus on giving people the best experience. When they start stagnating, suddenly every cent matters.

The irony is that the profile type most likely to have an AdBlocker is the Silicon Valley engineer. They spend so much time online, that it would be really annoying to have ads.

I already found a fix: I use another YouTube client that displays the stream directly without showing the ads. My guess is more people will do that - unless the adblockers get better. If YouTube goes as far as protecting the streaming servers themselves with greater authentication, people will likely go elsewhere… TikTok… Insta… or the many other video platforms that have been popping up as a result of censorship.

But I am skeptical everyday people are willing to wait for ads - or pay for social media.
I loved how the longer you waited, the more wacky the degaussing would be.
Well, how do they look? I've seen some other image generation optimizations, but a lot of them make a significant tradeoff in reduced quality.

I was using Brave on my iPad the other day and got a notice about this. It didn't seem to affect functionality though. Perhaps they will clamp down in the future, and this is just a warning.
Happily, no. USB-C refers to the physical connector, and we’re done with physical connector changes for a few years.

So complicated... the hard part is the first test but that's expected to be part of FSD already. And the second test is a simple state estimation procedure on top of the relatively harder detect-cars function, which also should be part of FSD already. So I'm not sure what you think this suggestion adds in complexity.

One of the most effective sales techniques is to sell the customer's own dream right back to the customer.

To qualify the prospects you need a marketing strategy that builds a pipeline of potential customers likely to possess the type of dream that you can work with.

Here there was no persuasive salesmanship needed to convince "investors", someone else had already done that in advance, or the customers had built interest on their own.

Sam was just there to use their money, and if a certain amount of losses were inevitable that was supposed to be overcome by greater amounts of gains in the long run. Skimming just a little bit off the top to where it's obscured by the noise of the losses is what lots of financial outfits have done for centuries. The higher-integrity firms have decades of experience carefully disclosing their terms for this activity to their customers, which is one of the reasons why more persuasive sales efforts might be a lot more common.

As soon as Sam started skimming without proper disclosure, that's what made it ordinary theft.

The only irregularities I know about in Tower Hamlets were (1) illegal at the time, (2) caught, (3) not of a large enough scale to change the result, and (4) were cited as a reason for the change of law forcing all voters to present photo ID at the booth[0].

Also: What ballot slips? You don't get a ballot slip if you're not on the electoral register, and that only happens at voting age. Waiting for migrant's unborn kids to reach that age will always take longer than waiting for their parents, who, again, don't start off able to vote as soon as they arrive.

[0] this in turn was condemned as a way to suppress votes from various communities (because e.g. some of the ID was allowed if you were a pensioner, but the identical equivalent ID for students wasn't).

It's true though isn't it? But, I guess, there is also no souffle recipe that guarantees that remote or in-person work is better than the other.
Ok but then that is purely additive then, right? Like, "have to find someone with Illumos expertise to fix something that was never intended to be customer-facing" may not be easy, but is still easier than the impossibility of doing the same thing on AWS / Azure / Google Cloud.
Would they be able to enforce this on Firefox or other browsers?
This happens a lot with Japanese translations, mainly because the subject (eg. you, me, him, etc) is frequently omitted from a sentence, and needs to be inferred from context. Machine translations rarely have that context, but need to insert a subject to form a natural sentence in English, so they'll just guess. For example "he's not hungry" can machine-translate into "I'm not hungry", and sometimes this can really mess with a sentence's meaning or create major miscommunication. A human translator would at least warn you when there's ambiguity, but machine translators tend to just go with their best guess.

I agree with all of that, and I sincerely was planning to become a paid subscriber. But I have some irrational resentment around being a statistic validating their increased pressure campaign. I don’t like feeling forced to spend the money! Which is weird because I get significantly more value from it than any streaming service.
Right after we made the browser to fight cross-OS incompatibility, which were made to fight cross-smaller-OS incompatibility, which were made to fight machine code and punching card and hardware incompatibility...

At some point maybe the web dev world will understand that, sometimes, you just have to live with the fact that there is no one true best solution, and instead build tools that are built with cross-platform in mind (like Qt, SDL, etc.).
The ultimate in "this would only apply at Google", was having to establish backup communication side channels that weren't Google dependent. While on call as an SRE for Google on the Internet traffic team, we would naturally default to Google Meet for communications during an indent, but the questions is, what would we do if Google Meet is down? It's a critical-path team, which mean that if I got paged because my team's system is down, it's not improbable that Google Meet (along with Google.com) was down because of it.

We needed to have extra layers of backup communications because the first three layers systems were all also Google properties. That is to say, email wouldn't work because Gmail is Google, our work cell phones wouldn't work because they're Google Fi, and my home's ISP was Google Fiber/Webpass.

All of which is to confirm that, yes, Google has a backup IRC server for communication. I won't say where, but it's explicitly totally off Google infrastructure for that very reason.
Ok, thanks. Back to the drawing board.

I think this attitude is actually a big part of the problem. Because research is largely government funded there is big political pressure to show that the research leads to measurable outcomes and that there is zero misuse or waste of funding. This is what has lead to the current system of big administrative bodies just focused on tracking how funding is used (and we can't really blame universities for the situation, reporting requirements on everything they do have increased dramatically).

On the other hand nobody cares about the waste in private industry, we are perfectly fine with paying a certain amount for e.g. a Facebook ad even though they just wasted a huge amount of money on a big VR bet.. Maybe we should just admit that there will be wastage and we can't easily measure scientific outcomes and just say we are happy with the overall benefit we get from science/academia for the price we pay for it (which in the broad picture is quite small).
When ARM released AArch64, it was a completely new instruction set rather than an extension of the existing 32-bit ISA (like x86-64). AArch64 is a much better designed ISA than AArch32 and supporting both in hardware effectively doubles the complexity of the instruction decoder, so it was clear that eventually there would be AArch64-only CPUs (as there are today).

The technology behind Tango started as a research project while I was doing my PhD. After finishing my dissertation in 2016, I looked into opportunities to commercialize it by contacting every company that was building or planning to build an AArch64-only CPU. There are sufficiently few that it is easily doable even for a small company.

Building a production-ready binary translator is technically challenging and requires a lot of work. The difficult parts are achieving high performance (Tango scores within 10% of native 32-bit execution on benchmarks), low latency (using AOT translation to accelerate startup times) and compatibility (Tango was tested against the top 1000 Android apps and works with all of them).

Already by 2017, Tango was capable of translating AArch32 Android applications. At that point it makes more sense for companies to license our technology rather than developing their own implementation from scratch.

We should worry about both. What we shouldn't do is let allies get slaughtered because Russia can make a lot of model airplanes, or bankrupt ourselves killing them with million dollar AA missiles. There must be a better way.

Legally, they need to run a fuel which is approved on the type certificate data sheet for their engine (and the engine-airframe combination).

The recently developed G100UL unleaded fuel requires a change to the type certificate of the airplane (by serial number) and engine(s) (by serial number) to be legal.

Until that supplemental type certificate existed, these airplanes did legally need leaded fuel.

> I'm guessing you're thinking of various 100% proprietary channels, all of which suffer from the problem of being centralized and users and content can get arbitrarily banned or blocked for no reason.

You are looking for an open+federated protocol. Those definitely exist.

For example, an older one that I'm well aware has probably long-ago-peaked is XMPP. One can host their own XMPP domain and talk to other XMPP domains just like email can. It also has the ability to send content, presence, pub-sub notifications, offline messages (much like an email message) ... you name it. Storing contact lists and associations combined with the fact that messages come from authenticated sources by default means that spam is a lot harder to accomplish (or at least a lot easier to squash). All of this and XMPP is a 25 year-old protocol; This protocol can legally drink in the US. Just imagine what else exists today! :)

However, the problem is not what technically exists. The problem is what is popular. Email is still extremely popular and ingrained in so many places. It's easy to extend and put up a quick webpage that submits an email from some user-input. It's easy to send notifications/advertisements to. Attachment protocols have largely been sussed out. It's even used quite commonly as a second form of authentication. You can expect most people to have an email address while a much smaller percentage of people expect to have any other single-form of electronic communication.
I am also a Basher. But I've always suspected it as a sort of perfectionism that ultimately holds you back from getting better. I have a couple of pastimes where I've gone out of my way to try to avoid this. I find it is often easier to 'change your ways' in one context than globally. But it's also a sort of 'end of the beginning' rather than 'beginning of the end' in spending more energy on doing and less on fussing about doing it well. Take that too more and you're trying to do well on your first try.

If you ever played board games with someone who operates this way, it's exhausting. The fact that it's meant to be fun probably amplifies that experience, but I do wonder sometimes how people experience me and whether they think the same sorts of things I think about a perfectionist gamer.

I restored a first gen ipod last year that I originally purchased new. New OEM battery and drive, some polish and shine. Same old Sony drivers. Damn. Forget streaming. No one in streaming gives a shit about audio.
Puns aside, is there a next generation speculative standard being designed already? A la 6G, HTTP/3, etc.
It depends.

To make up an example that doesn't depend on any of those things: imagine that I've added a new feature to Hacker News that allows users to display profile pictures next to their comments. Of course, we have built everything around microservices, so this is implemented by the frontend page generator making a call to the profile service, which does a lookup and responds with the image location. As part of the launch plan, I document the "big red button" procedure to follow if my new component is overloading the profile service or image repository: run this command to rate-limit my service's outgoing requests at the network layer (probably to 0 in an emergency). It will fail its lookups and the page generator is designed to gracefully degrade by continuing to render the comment text, sans profile photo.

(Before anyone hits send on that "what a stupid way to do X" reply, please note that this is not an actual design doc, I'm not giving advice on how to build anything, it's just a crayon drawing to illustrate a point)

PHEV's are like the best of both worlds. You have a light battery, 20% of the size of an EV battery but big enough to cover most peoples day to day driving. Then you have a traditional internal combustion engine for the occasional longer trip.

On my Desktop, Brave is counting down the last 3 videos I'm allowed to watch with ads blocked.

I hope Brave can give me the option to make Google think I'm watching the ad by downloading the ad but somehow not showing it to me.

Or, failing that, show it but auto-mute the audio during the ad (I spent lots of time on Youtube listening to my playlist).
I've posted this a few times recently, but I used to pay for youtube premium, but it started showing me ads while using chromecast. The third time it happened I cancelled and went back to using ublock. I don't use the chromecast much because the ads are unbearable but I see exactly 0 ads ever on my pc. In short, I block ads because not only is it free, it also actually works. My guess is as soon as(if?) they manage to totally stop ad blockers, they will pull a cable company move and start showing ads to paying users as well. They'll say it's to help creators or something or course.
The businesses are legal fictions which are owned by humans and run by humans. In practice, it's just a group of humans. So any time you assume you are putting the rights of citizens ahead of businesses, you are putting the rights of one set of humans over another set.

It's never simple. It's really hard (/impossible) to come up with good legislation. Much of it creates weird incentives or high costs to enforce or high costs to doing business which are passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices and citizens in the form of lower dividend checks in retirement.

Saying "it's not my problem" amounts to "i have no idea how to solve this".
What degree of criticism crosses the threshold of "hostile"? For some on the conservative side any criticism or comparison of the US by Americans or worse yet by foreigners unacceptable; the "love it or leave it" crowd. There have been repeated incidents of various politicians, journalists and authors being denied entry for little more (and sometimes less) than saying that the US "kinda sucks".

Obviously there's little good reason to admit someone who wants to overthrow the government (there are already enough of those locally) but literally anyone who says that the US is less than perfect?

I certainly don't want this decision to be in the hands of an unaccountable and capricious ICE officers. I've personally experienced just a taste of how petty they can be and have little reason to doubt that they are routinely spiteful assholes.
No. Power either is there or it isn't.
Right, so if your product is the default offering, and you're already the most popular, the competition has its legs cut out from under them.

Granted, the power of the defaults is usually strongest in the context of random settings in a product that end users don't know anything about. Search engines are something most people know at least something about by now.

Her book Breaking Through [1] also goes into more detail about this. Basically academia is now ruled by the same rotten economic lenses as the rest of the economy. Everything is about profits, labs are evaluated in "grant $/sqft." and people are evaluated on a "resume" or dumb metrics like papers published. It's really hopeless how this economic virus infects every little corner of our world and turns it to shit.

This isn't just one story, there are countless other researchers and even life-saving drugs that are not developed purely because of this mindset. For a brief moment in time during the COVID pandemic we saw that it is possible to have a better system but it's been forgotten just as quickly.

The problem is they have to use Microsoft Teams.
It was arguably clear at least five years ago (in 2018, when the iPad Pro got it) that they would switch iPhones to USB-C eventually. And since it was clear that they would switch anyway, they should have switched immediately. I assume it was unnecessarily delayed in order to not hurt the ego of the managers who pushed Lightning in the first place. It would have looked like an admission that Lightning had been a mistake and that they should have waited for USB type C.
