Some banks already require you to install and use apps to approve of transactions made outside of the app.

Resisting occupation or engaging in terrorism against a foreign power are completely different scenarios than pushing back against democratically blessed bureaucratic overreach.

The KillDozer is an appropriate example. I cheered for that guy, along with many others. Some of the corrupt town officials got their comeuppance. But what did it really accomplish systematically?
I bought one of the wwe wrestling games for my kid on my xbox account. Few years later there was a new version he wanted. After playing it he wanted to play the old version. The studio had removed it from the Microsoft store because they wanted to force people to new version. Even though I owned it I couldn’t install from Microsoft store. I contacted support and was told I had to copy it from the xbox it was installed on. I never bought anymore games from that studio. That was years ago and now there are more and more examples of not owning what you paid for.
some people just like to throw money at a problem, whereas i personally like to keep my money and use my brains or will power but thats just me.

Before you talk about that Elon tried to keep his jet private above and beyond that:

* the jet is registered to a company with a very SpaceX-y name

* the registered office of that company's street address is "1 Space Drive"

* when you search that address, Google reports, "Businesses associated with this address: SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Company".

A comment my mother made, from her experiences as a child in the UK in the 1920s was that if London hadn't moved to mechanical transport, the city would have drowned in horse-shit if the population rise continued. It was a nightly obligation to deal with the prodigious amounts of horse manure, every day, without fail.

I might add that many fine multi-million pound houses now exist inside the horse stables, the "mews" of London. They're a feature of many films in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

I could be wrong, but I interpreted gp as criticizing those who make the solutions available/easy, not those who use the solutions. The former are "trying to block" which takes time -- the latter simply block which is closer to immediate. And then there's us discussing the whole thing, which shows that sometimes the pleasure is in the journey, not the destination.
URL obscuring gives a URL a shelf life that URL parameters don’t. The URL only ends up functioning as long as the redirect service is functional whereas a URL will work no matter what garbage parameters you throw in after the ? in a URL. If the page can do something with the parameters it will, but if it can’t, it just gets ignored.

tbh for tools like Shazam there's no fundamental difference between a database + hashing algorithm and a self-supervised model; both are great indexing & compression solutions, just for different scales of data.
Does this mean it’s trivial to spoof iMessage from arbitrary phone numbers not already registered with iMessage, or hijack any non-iPhone users SMS messages by tricking the iPhones they communicate with to send replies via iMessage to the spoofer rather than SMS? If this is true, (edit: probably not true,) and I’m just speculating without specific knowledge, it seems Apple would shut this down for legitimate security reasons, and perhaps re-engineer things to prevent this.
I spotted that as well. But the rest of the study doesn’t mix them. They define realists as people who predicted their future finances correctly, optimists as people who missed (so eg said no change where the reality was their finances got worse) and pessimists as people who missed the other way.

Data selection depends the use-case. Two contrasting use-cases I see are:

- Emulation

- Advisor

In case of MTG player emulation for example, I think it makes sense to group data by some rankable criteria like winrate to train rank-specific models that can mimic players of each rank.
I have a similar life story. This field is toxic and hates developers that build useful software. Look at Max Howell and so many others like him.

Reading through the thread it's all about vibe and liking people. Most of the success stories are products that went nowhere and nobody used. But they got paid and had fun.

Bullshit jobs for friendly people.
> with PayPal (founded by Musk)

Sigh. PayPal was not founded by Musk. PayPal was a Confinity product, and had an MVP, and trademarks, before Musk entered the picture, was CEO for four months before the Board fired him on his honeymoon.

Musk's primary "contribution" to PayPal has been collecting dividend checks.
Sorry. I missed on replying to one of your points.

the monotheist believes in the concept of a god ... The atheist doesn't believe in the concept of a god at all.

That's a fallacy. For instance I could believe in the concept of Zeus, the Greek God. But that doesn't mean I do believe in the existence of Zeus himself.

Or in a more modern vein: I do believe in the concept that there are other worlds in the Universe with intelligent life who can travel in spaceships. But I certainly don't believe that UFOs that visit Earth exist. And I never will, unless there is incontrovertible proof that one that visits us exists. That's not a contradiction, I just think that there are uncrossable gulfs of time and distance that keep the rare, few and far between, intelligences apart. After all, it's only a few hundred years since the Atlantic kept the Europeans and the Aztecs apart, such that the Europeans with their white skin were considered to be unknown Gods by the Aztecs when first seen by the Aztecs.
also you commonly get a digital license too that you can register with those same digital services when you buy physical anyways (at least for movies/tv shows).

> Toxicity: A rude, disrespectful, or unreasonable comment that is likely to
make people leave a discussion

Rude and disrespectful are subjective. As a layperson learning biology for fun (e.g. Bob Sapolsky lectures) I often chuckle at how rude or shocking nature can be! I grimace at how nature videos (e.g. a pride of lions hunting a baby elephant) will garner comments like "you're sick for filming this!" or "do something to help!".

Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that microscopic particles (what we now know as bacteria) on the hands and body were causing women and babies to become infected during birth. He was considered a misinformation-spreading pariah for a quarter century until links were made between germs and diseases.

But for the 25 years it took the ideas to mature and reach mainstream, he was "toxic".

> and many will likely just endure it

And many will change the channel and watch something else in the meantime. Youtube checks that you have clicked away and just waits for you, basically FORCING you to watch the ad. TV and radio don't do that, neither do magazines.

If Youtube was TV, in this analogy every channel has an ad as soon as you open it. Oh, and when you go back to a channel you switched from due to an ad, that very same ad is waiting for you to watch it dutifully.
We suspect they don't really want the society wide rule change though.
Seriously! It was clever in the beginning but it's wearing on me seeing it everywhere now.

The space of what's possible on the advertising attribution side doesn't change my moral obligations as a member of the audience. If that were the case, anything disrupting any kind of advertising attribution, even if not entirely intentional, could be said to be theft. For example, if I buy land and build a building in between a billboard and the road the billboard's pointed at, am I in some way liable to the billboard company? What about if I pay someone to follow me around with large cardboard panels and block large advertisements out in the world from my line of sight? What if I build a very fancy automated hat with arms which blocks ads in my real life vision (or even on every screen I look at)? I'm not seeing the ads, have I broken some rule?

This whole thing is happening because content makers have become VERY entitled to the system of advertising which pays them; rather than innovate in the space, they're trying to moralize and legalize their way into forcing the audience not to look away. Don't let it happen folks.

To be clear, I'm not saying YT should give things away; I'm saying the mask should come off and they should outright charge money.
Name names and I bet with a simple google search I can find a charter public school with an alternative curriculum available.
That's all fair, I definitely see the appeal (especially regarding the controllers, which is something third-party companies have struggled to get right for decades). They're a good way to play the games. But for me at least (and I've heard similar sentiments from others), a big part of the "retro experience" comes from playing on a real console and a CRT TV. Something about the built-in firmware and knowing it's basically just a raspberry pi under the hood puts me off the whole thing and I would rather just emulate on a PC because it's less hassle. But ultimately of course if you enjoy it then keep doing so!
The competition they are blocking are all the competitors they drove out of business by running youtube at a loss for ages. They're only now putting ads in videos, charging for not-doing-that, blocking ad blockers, and so on, now that they've driven all the competitors after business. Predatory pricing of this nature is a well know old anti-competitive tactic. The only slightly new wrinkle is that they're letting users pay with their time and attention instead of requiring them to pay with dollars.

They should not be allowed to profit from their anti-competitively acquired monopoly, even in ways that their competitors would have if they had not been driven out of business.
So on desktop, if I spin up a VM with networking disabled I feel pretty confident I can run anything safely, even malware is not going to escape.

What's the current state of the art for Android virtualization? Let's assume we're talking about the newest Pixel and newest Android version. Is there any way to safely run malware or the Facebook app in some sort of air-gapped container and throw it away when you're done?
yes, that’s us. glad to see you remember our previous iteration :)

Criticality is a result of geometry. If you modify the geometry (by placing the rods in a reactor, by removing control rods, etc), you can vary the system from subcritical, to critical, to super-critical. No external neutron source necessary.

Not to burst your bubble but there’s a near 100% chance you’re wrong about this.

Remember that the goal of hiring isn’t to hire the best person who applies.

The goal is to hire somebody who can do the job at the wage that’s offered. The best person might reject an offer or not even get one in the first place.
Ever since the first time I spotted this I've been removing it manually. Any browser addons to help with this, anyone?

The fact that Google has to resort to this is amusing. To me it means they can't do it any other way and are now leaving themselves wide open for us the techies to strip that tracking ID; which we absolutely will do.

Things must be getting desperate somewhere in HQ.

How is blocking adblockers "socially unacceptable behavior"?

It might frustrate you personally -- the same way it might frustrate you to have to pay money to see a movie at a movie theater -- but I don't see what isn't acceptable about it socially.

I'm surprised Apple hasn't cut them off yet. They must not be able to for some legacy reason. I suspect the only way to cut them off would be to cut off all the older phones like iPhone 3GS as well.

>the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher. Leveraging this research, Beeper Mini implements the iMessage protocol locally within the app. All messages are sent and received by Beeper Mini Android app directly to Apple’s servers. The encryption keys needed to encrypt these messages never leave your phone. Neither Beeper, Apple, nor anyone except the intended recipients can read your messages or attachments. Beeper does not have access to your Apple credentials.

>We built Beeper Mini by analyzing the traffic sent between the native iMessage app and Apple’s servers, and rebuilding our own app that sends the same requests and understands the same responses.

Sumptuary laws limited expenditure, these laws are intended to limit waste with the pressure applied to the producer and not the consumer.

Fast fashion put waste into overdrive, easily by a factor of two thirds as it specifically encouraged online ordering with free returns so that consumers ordered their size, a size above, a size below and returned two out of three purchases .. rather than sell "worn goods" returns went to land fill.

The mountain of excess production (consuming energy, resources, producing excess CO2, etc) that comes with the past decade of fast fashion brought little of real value and is a practice worth discouraging.

Let the consumer spend by all means, but at least reduce the litter that comes with every purchase.
Is it common? I only know of the ironic removal of 1984, and that was in 2009. I've got 500+ books in my kindle library and am not aware of it ever happening to me.

And to be clear, I wouldn't be surprised if it has happened again since, but I've never heard of any, so I agree with the GP comment's assertion that it isn't common.
I don't think that's the point. If the industry is going to regularly make me go through incessant cycles of purchasing, getting refunded, rebuying (for the same price?) then I'm going to pirate the content. What an absolutely absurd expectation.
It's O(n) if the array is already sorted, which is better than other n*log(n) CS101 algorithms (merge/heap/quicksort)
Pretty sure Android already uses Linux containers/namespaces for app isolation.
I beg to differ. If I start with a summary that was produced by a model that has an excellent broad understanding of all prior work, it can help to fill in gaps so that when I do read the paper later, I parse it better. I have ADHD and a learning disability. I guess your mileage may vary.
> Well within their rights, I guess, but it still seems like they are throwing a tantrum to me.

I still don't see how it has anything to do with a tantrum. A tantrum is someone yelling and screaming because they aren't getting what they want. This is Google getting exactly what it wants, and I don't see any yelling and screaming.

It's just quietly asserting its rights to block adblockers.
Taking the example in this comment thread, even if the model takes an arbitrary nonparametric distribution of input temperatures and perfectly returns the posterior distribution of freezing events there is still a difference in model error and forward UQ error.

The model itself can perfectly describe the physics, but it only knows what you can give it. This may be limited by measurement uncertainty of your equipment, etc, but it is separate from the model itself.

In this area, "the model" is typically considered as the input parameter to quantity of interest map itself. It's not the full problem from gathering data to prediction.

Model error would be things like failing to capture the physics (due to approximations, compute limits, etc), intrinsic aleatoric uncertainty in the freezing process itself, etc.

Making this distinction helps talk about where the uncertainty comes from, how it can be mitigated, and how to use higher level models and resampling to understand its impact across the full problem.
Bubble sorts are useful in broad-phase collision detection. Each object has an axis-aligned bounding box, and you want to sort those by X, Y, and Z values, then check for overlap in all dimensions. Only if the bounding boxes overlap in all three dimensions do you have to check the object pair's detailed geometry.

Most objects aren't moving that much. The lists are thus almost in order.
So running a bubble sort on each axis to check the ordering is not much worse than O(N).

Startup has a transient. The very first sort will be O(N^2). If the number of objects is large enough it may be worthwhile to do something different at startup.
Don't most places have rules barring IP protection for the names of places? Like the US federal government can't sue "USA Super Nail Salon".
How many services can you self-host on a Raspberry Pi?
That's definitely a lot of distinctions I missed, thank you. To clarify, Mozilla has been under investigation for 21 years? Or was that a typo, I thought her complaint was more recent.
Giving your money to the government doesn't magically help the poor either. With rampant waste and managerial arrogance in the public sector, we should be calling for sweeping reform that spends what tax is there for more efficiently and disincentivises waste and unnecessary spending.

Judging a message by the messenger has its downsides. Personally I try to learn can even from people I generally feel negative towards (Thiel, Hilton). It is especially egregious when the topic is science: accepting disagreement is one fundament of scientific thinking.
