> Does google really have the right to block my control over what is shown or not shown on my computer?

In general? Of course not.

On a webpage they serve to you? Of course they have the right to, to the extent JavaScript makes it possible. What possible legal basis could there be for them not to have that right? With limited exceptions, they have the right to do wherever they want with their webpage code. And there is no legal exception against blocking adblockers.

This isn’t uncommon at all when dealing with development that requires interoperability.

Far from it, actually.

If a part of your user base uses another service, you’ll inevitably have to add workarounds specifically to cater to users for that service. It’s just a fact of life when multiple groups have to implement a spec. If you aren’t willing to add workarounds, users will think your software is broken when they should be blaming someone else.

For example, Firefox maintains a few workarounds for websites that ship in the browser. They aren’t the web developers responsible for the sites but someone has to make it work.

Interoperability is not free.

Is it though? The last time it was "gaining ground" (Brexit) it was mostly and old vs young divide, with young people rather overwhelmingly supporting the EU. I wonder how much of this sentiment is down to politicians wanting to do things that are otherwise forbidden by EU-wide laws and regulations (most of which are rather good, actually).

Building the first analog computer indicates a much more advanced scientific culture than astronomy, mathematics, mechanics etc. as individual areas of study which other cultures certainly had. Your example of the mathematical underpinnings of music is ironic because it is something other cultures arrived at as well.

So have other cultures made important contributions? Of course they have, and in many areas of study they excelled over the Greeks, but unless your definition of advancement is something other than increasing understanding of & power over our environment, then it is the case that there was nothing like this for ~17 centuries. Obviously, happy to be proven wrong via specific examples, etc.

> Researchers use a dimensionless quantity called ZT to describe the strength of the thermoelectric effect in any combination of materials. Two decades ago, combinations such as lead and tellurium yielded ZT values of around 1. After ten years, the search for new, more complex, and more effective materials had yielded ZT values of 2.

These sentences are useless. Going from 1 to 2 probably means doubling the efficiency, if the base value is 0. But even if that's true (which it's not guaranteed to be) is a real-world usable value 3? or 478?

Much later in the article: "Vining predicted in 2009 that a ZT of 4 would be the required threshold for commercialization." There it is. But even with that, the information given tells us very little about the underlying property, or the technology.

> They _say_ they will, but I find often people will want to substitute their own terms (Well, youtube premium is $x, but I think it's only worth $y, so I'm going to just block ads completely).

That just means, by definition, that the prices YouTube are trying to charge are too high, doesn't it? What we're seeing is basically a negotiation tactic: you either reduce the price, or we'll keep using ad blockers.

Not to mention, most creators don't really live off YouTube ads, those pay too little for the vast majority of channels as far as I understand. Creators live off their own sponsorships, Patreon etc.

Note, I'm actually someone who thinks YouTube Premium is good value for my money and am already paying for it.

From the companies not needing this, it does not follow that various governments don't need this.

My first thought is that this is looking like an especially fun (for the rest of us) popcorn session where someone in one government is shocked to discover that other governments pull the same stunts that they think should be reserved for "our people"… but then I looked up Senator Ron Wyden's Wikipedia page and he seems to be genuinely opposed to such shenanigans from everyone including the US.

So, good for him.
If you can force yourself to the end of the second paragraph:

I think the entire premise is cursed. That is to say, if you are finding yourself with a need to store more than maybe one KWh of energy in a residential setting, you might need to reevaluate your overall architecture.

A generator, while not ideal ecologically, is a perfect abstraction in engineering terms. Especially generators connected to pipelines. Those are the real win in safety - the energy is only received on site the exact moment it is required. Some trade offs with resilience but you don't have to go that far. On site diesel and LPG have proven safe and reliable as well.

For me the batteries are just about transferring the load. If you need run time, you should find yourself a generator. For non emergency, non-UPS scenarios, sure you could maybe plan an off grid setup. But I think we'd be mixing use cases a little bit with this angle.

Beyond a certain point, I don't think there exists a safe way to store certain embodiments of energy on site. Sandbags or no.
That's an ironic mistake playing with the idea of negation being additive instead of multiplicative that is enabled by the subtle redundancy encoded in no/any/some.

Makes me wonder if it might be a linguistic eddy echoing from the clash of Germanic and Latin-based French, where negation contracted with the word is also very common (no idea if n'est and friends had been a thing in French at the time that clash happened)

With VSCode, you can use "// @ts-check", which essentially turns on a linter that assumes JS is strongly typed and respects any provided TS definitions and jsdoc comments.

> Of course that I'm extending that to any unelected government/political entity whose decisions happen to affect people's lives on a national level

So that's (almost?) every government? For example, in the Netherlands, we do elect the members of parliament, but they then choose the government (hence the government being unelected).

And of course, that government then nominates a Commissioner, forming the European Commission together with other EU governments (hence it being similarly unelected).

And then of course, our government also gets a say about EU laws, together with other governments.

Just like the European Parliament, which does happen to be directly elected.

> If we take this to an extreme, doesn't content just not get made?

I can't speak for anybody else but my content will still get made.

> Do you think Google is going to go to a model where things are freely accessible without ads?

Maybe, maybe not, whose to say what Google will do. Maybe they will value the influence or the goodwill more than the lack of income. Maybe some of the content will be free and other bits will be walled off (effectively this is already the case with youtube music). Maybe there will be less MFY content and that's perfectly ok with me, 99.99% of it is crap anyway. Youtuber isn't a profession I recognize.

> Feels like even when a company provides a way to get rid of ads, many people still won't pay.

And that's ok.

Yes, or you pay and you still get ads...
I've had the need for things like this very often. But we had multiple metrics to store and visualize, we went with InfluxDB and Grafana for that purpose. Maybe one could create an integration with at least InfluxDB, because it is great for time series.
Software engineers know that implementing resiliency patterns in individual services/API level is not enough for reliability. Inevitably additional measures must be taken at the service call chain level, such as tuning timeout values for API calls across the service call chain or measuring & managing complexity.

This article contains conducted thought experiments and hypotheses for improving service call chain reliability by thinking in systems. I hope that sharing them can inspire new ideas and with your feedback we can prove whether these hypotheses are right or wrong.

Some of key ideas;
* Measuring complexity is crucial for holistic reliability.
* Incremental risk calculation and budgeting methods contribute to reliability.
* Service chain governance is key to sustaining reliability in the long run.

Java remains an excellent choice for concurrent systems, with a commonly accepted static type system, and all "java.util.concurrent" and the rest of JVM are native and the language and tools do scale to even monstrous sized "teams".

> And how do you convert a country that has never had freedom and democracy to a free and democratic place?

The ex-Soviet Baltic EU states are largely doing okay. Ukraine's making surprisingly rapid progress on its EU accession checklist. Elsewhere, other good models would be Spain, Portugal, Taiwan (none really had any serious history of democracy before the late 20th century). It is absolutely possible for a country which has basically always been totalitarian to become a functioning democracy, though it tends to go faster with outside help.

The EU accession model (essentially "we'll give you stuff if you reduce the corruption to a dull roar") seems to be pretty effective, though it's not foolproof (in particular, there's not _that_ much stopping a member state turning around and going "haha, only joking" once it's in; see Hungary).

> No one is sanctioning Israel for ethnic cleansing, textbook settler colonialism and apartheid going on since 1948.

Bad example since Jews are generally the ones who were getting cleansed. They were evicted by extreme Christians, then murdered by Nazi Germans (remember when US and Canada did not accept a shipful of Jews fleeing gas chambers so they had to go back and die?) and 1948 is when Arab League attacked the new country the next day after it was created.

Meanwhile Muslim people in Israel lead far better lives than in many surrounding countries with access to good healthcare, education etc. There is certainly no cleansing and people choose different schools because they speak different languages. There were certain moves like demoting Arabic from its previous role as official language 5 years ago but then how many countries in Middle East even recognize Hebrew? I've visited it once, you should perhaps visit the country yourself some time and see if you find all that terrible cleansing and apartheid. Maybe compare to all the Muslim countries around while you're at it, too.

A better example would be Qatar with its exit visas, not only not sanctioned but football world cup was held there
