The thing is, in this playing field of Israel consistently breaking international law, and committing war crimes, and as of now genocide, and the USA consistently blocking any attempts to stop and punish Israel’s crimes. That in this playing field I don’t consider Israel any more legitimate then the Houthies. Personally I wouldn’t mind if both pay for their crimes against humanity, but as of current US international policy it looks like Houthies are the only ones that will pay for their crimes. And what is worse, the Palestinian people will keep dying and nothing can stop it.

This is why I think the only thing that will work are disruptions, these disruptions may include boycotts, blocking of highways, shipping, etc. divestments, etc.

I keep in perspective the urgency of stopping the genocide. And the scale of the disruptions I find justified are proportional to that urgency.

EDIT: Just to prevent this from being read wrong. I still support South Africa’s case for the ICJ. Including because the off chance their rulings will be enforced, but also because I think it will persuade more actors to pursue more disruptions, e.g. for the EU to ignore the USA and issue sanctions against Israel, for broadcasters across Europe to kick Israel out of Eurovision, etc.

I don’t care what you say, it’s still the most comfortable browser due to QoL improvements that the decaying old chrome/firefox could never dream of adding. Like the more convenient file chooser screen for example. Plus it just looks and feels more futuristic looking not stuck in 2011 like chrome/firefox(neither which are truly customizable.

Targeted advertising is handled by Google's ad platform. Loading YT loads Google's ad scripts. This is actually a good argument for why YT and Google Ads should not be under the same roof.

Patreon is sending data to Meta by loading the Meta marketing pixel on their site when you're logged in to Patreon.com.

This is false. They most certainly were under the "decree of atheism."

What does that have to do with water conservation? It's not water conservation it's water usage that's going down.

If you fill your car tank and don't drive, you're not conserving it because it's still going to drain just as fast when you do drive. The car has already got the water in there. You won't take it back out.

Honestly I think the whole "we are a startup search engine company who decided to spend the time to set up a production chain for t-shirts" is a worse use of resources than the actual money spent.
I've been using free fillable forms for years. Luckily my state also uses them. One year they didn't and I filed paper (by filling out PDFs, as well), and wrote a letter to the department of revenue promising to file paper returns every year they didn't have a free efile option.

And the next year they brought it back. Because of me, I'm sure. ;)

But until the IRS has full service online, I'm not paying a third party out of principle. The only time I shell out is if it gets too complex, and then I pay an accountant.
I suppose it wouldn't! Perhaps it might develop brand awareness. (I am thinking about Nike's swoosh or Vercel's triangle)

Studies of modern hunter-gathers show both behaviours in parallel, both plant cultivation (not modern agricultural market gardening) at seasonal sites, and seasonal hunting.

Movement isn't random, it's a progression around a larger territory that may take a decade to fully revisit all parts.

Plants, roots, leaves, fruits, etc are gathered around sites where people stay for three months or more, competing unwanted plants are pulled up, weeded out, desired seeds are spread, ground tubers are only partially used with the remainder left to regrow.

Animals are hunted about the area, attention is paid to breeding numbers - often plants are used to hunt animals (particular types of young saplings for spears, particular ground up leaves to stun fish in pools).

And then they move on to both hunt and gather elsewhere .. with a great deal of the food being gathered.

Doing this for 70,000 odd years sees patterns of midden mounds (discarded shells from tidal and river molluscs), bone piles, ock art, etc develop across the landscape .. and living custodians have been pretty good on telling the oral stories of songlines - the movements with yearly and decadal seasons.
What was Marx's "wrong reason"?

I had the impression his point was that religion distracts people from improving this world, not that he had a substitute.

> we live in a time, perhaps unprecedented in history, when the world is generally rotten

It has been argued - I forget by who - that this was the normal view of history across cultures for thousands of years, that there was a golden age before writing now fallen into decay, until Western progressivism became a prominent ideology.

It seems to me there is a lot of religious scripture in support of the idea that history is a cycle of decline, corruption, false prophets, and indiscriminate punishment from God.

> Flash did things "web technologies" didn't.

This is true. Especially before HTML5's canvas, video, and audio elements were standardized. Things have gotten so much better now with the advent of the Web Animation API also.

As powerful as Flash was though, sometimes that power was misused. I remember websites with slow intro animations that you had to wait to load before using the website. Flash also powered some of the most annoying advertisements I've ever had the displeasure of viewing.

The first thought that comes to mind is that this would be a big problem in situations that arguably warrant speeding, such as accelerating out of a dangerous traffic situation, evading pursuers, or transporting a passenger in a life or death emergency.

I am not very knowledgable on the history of the Peruvian Andes, or even South-America in general, but I do know that the "agricultural revolution" was not a singular event after which all of humanity on the planet switched to agriculture. Usually the "10,000 years" figure refers to the cultures in Eurasia, which had exactly zero contact with the cultures in South-America.

For example, my 40 seconds of in-depth research revealed this map of the state of agriculture in 2,000 BC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_in_2000_BC.svg

I have my own criticism of this article, as I posted in my top-level comment, but your criticism just makes no sense and profoundly misunderstands how these things work. It actually makes the same mistake as the authors by over-generalizing the situation from one region to the entire human population in all regions.
Paying for a search engine makes no sense to me. Startpage is just as appealing and free. There is also Yandex, which is identical to Google's old search engine. By the end of 2023, the search quality of Duckduckgo and Bing have dropped. DuckDuckGo is also now directing me to scroll through rubbish on the front page "Explore our features", so I moved to Startpage completely.
All of these sort of things are just based on hours used. It's like looking at your hot water heater warranty and replacing it when it's over (I live an an area where the PPM of the water is rather high and hot water heater warranties are basically calibrated for water like mine, so we do have to replace them on warranty expiration, most places you at least get a few years or double)
Thanks. Currently working on making a similar thing for Sony memory stick. :)
Another Kagi user here, yes, the customization of results is way better than any other search engine I've used. Eg, personalization can be manually set to lower or raise weight of results from specific domains. This has become extremely useful to not only filter out bad sites, but increase relevant results when you regularly get information from sites like GitHub etc.

Stats are released about these as well so you can easily copy heavy used fiters [0].

We are only humans, and we have a mountain to climb. Setting a base camp to pause and reflect on what we already achieved makes climbing that mountain more, not less, likely. Besides, there is no rush. We might as well enjoy the journey.

Yeah, and semi was only mentioned once. Tesla is a weird company. They have a lot of little side projects that seem to have potential, but only a few projects that get enough focus to really make it to market.

They've been able to get by with that so far, as the focus was in the right place (3/Y for example).

But their lack of focus on new vehicle models for the past couple of years seems to be really coming back to bite them now.

Their plan looks like muddled nonsense, tbh.
I am a happy customer, and recently discovered their URL rewrite rules: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/redirects.html.

The last couple of years in tech tells me there is no "market" that doesn't involve not shuttling your data to the worst companies in the world.
With exceptions for the special people, ya' know.
It’s likely to lead to more real world discussions of the product, someone is bound to ask what the shirt is about, or you might feel more motivated to talk about it while wearing it.
Some people don't want the best solution. It doesn't work as well for a writeup either.
The saudis are not going to like this.
I wouldn't consider anything with that kind of dinner etiquette to be friendly if scaled up -- humans included.
Suggestion for Kagi: If you haven't made the t-shirts yet, offer users to request/reserve one first. That way you won't ship to those who don't want it (though you won't ship to some who do, so maybe save some t-shirts on the side for those willing to contact you to ask if there's any left after the deadline)
If you look at the kagi logo, the g is much more attention-getting and memorable than the k.
It's opposite. Eat-in is considered to be a restaurant, so it's not eligible for reduced tax rate. 8% vs 10% reduced tax rate is stupid.
This is making the news since it's another Boeing issue, but it seems like any issue with a 757 at this point would be from improper maintenance, right?
You noticed that those quotes are almost all about metrics for rewarding or punishing developers, right?
I strongly disagree, and think this statement is basically completely wrong. I am part of the public and I'm benefitting tremendously from the product openAI has built. I would be very unhappy if my access to chatgpt or copilot was suddenly restricted. I extract tons of value (perceieved) from their product, and they receive some value in return from my subscription. Its a win-win.
Is kagi’s financial status that dire? Call me stupid, but I’m excited to get the shirt and feel warmly about the fact that the leadership at Kagi might actually be thinking about their early users the way described in the blog post. The $200k probably will not pay itself back from the shirts themselves, but I’m definitely going to shill kagi much harder now.
Thanks for clarifying. I hope that one day there is a way to securely make those kinds of requests in the client side. Until then I'll be using a proxy to strip the cors headers.
True, but it might still be worth the tradeoff. I would need to see some estimates of the numbers here
Yep, honestly their black shirt with the dog on the back is kind of cool, but the corny “Humanize the web!” on the sternum ruined it for me.
I live in Boston and my car’s HUD displays this information (speed limit and such). Sometimes it gets it wrong despite living in a major city center. Once my car even alerted me when I was going the wrong way on a one-way — except that I wasn’t. I can only imagine in deep suburbs / rural it is even less reliable.
Those happen in movies, but only very, very rarely in real life. Ambulances have flashing lights, sirens, and trained drivers and they still usually stay below the speed limit; Joe Soccer Dad is going to get t-boned trying the same thing on the way to the ER.

In the vast majority of cases, the delays on those trips are caused by the other vehicles on the road. Driving aggressively will make that worse because it will cause cascades of other people doing unusual moves which increase the unpredictability and danger of the situation.
I like to drive 5 under the speed limit, in the right lane of course. I don't have to worry about swerving through traffic, slamming on my brakes, and generally jockying for position just to shave 30 seconds off of my 20 minute drive.
That could be and that analysis really is quite long. I’ll have to take your word on that as I don’t have the experience you do. I do know that most JITs don’t have to even worry about this as they don’t need to worry about running untrusted code (not sure about the real world deployments for GraalJS). It’s also true that v8 has a lot more usage and vulnerabilities in it like this are a lot more valuable. So it can be hard to compare and contrast how different approaches impact vulnerabilities (+ comparing vulnerabilities is really difficult). But generally it is true that higher level abstractions can reduce certain classes of defects (not sure if this one falls into that but certainly others).

All that being said, the changes you suggest sound more like a design choice than something specific to a language. V8 has a complex build process and an object graph that should let you get the necessary compile time and runtime reflection capabilities.

Anyway, I think we can both agree that compiler research generally assumes trusted inputs but there’s not much research in building robust compilers and JITs that are secure against malicious input. We know generic techniques like fuzzing but no really robust designs (in terms of the level of protection we know related to memory safety)
>We would not be here without our early adopters (you!) and we deemed it important to pause, reflect and show gratitude.

Why would any customer care about a T-Shirt though? Probably best to put that money into the product, which the early adopters would appreciate more than some generic, likely ill-fitting T-Shirt.
I don't think it matters because all of this was very recent under the same ownership. But if you think it does matter then enter a few of those names in your favourite search engine and find out.
Finally. There really hasn’t been enough developer interest around unlocking car PCMs and open-sourcing engine management software. A bill like this would take car tuning from a niche closet industry to a ubiquitous hacking community.

Most cars come tuned from the factory for use with 87 octane gas. Pumping premium (91+ octane) gas doesn’t typically confer any performance advantage due to the factory-locked PCM software. By unlocking and tweaking this software you can tune the hardware to benefit from higher-grade fuels, enabling better performance _and_ fuel efficiency/emissions. Disabling the speed limiter would become table stakes.

Passing this bill would backfire majorly and open a Pandoras Box of hacking advancement. What is niche now would become common practice for everyone who drives.
Ten bucks says that these cars are going to get rear-ended like crazy. And then the owners will get slapped with higher insurance premiums.
Sounds a lot like the NYT got a hold of the anon Boeing employee commenter from last week, and verified their employment and story.

I'm not interested in the effort to get that particular change in, I'm asking for you to elaborate in this broad effort you're implying beyond that. If I misread you, and you're not implying something broader and that's the only change they fought for, then yes it is quite small.

To be extra direct there: I didn't say the effort was small, I said that change was small. You can have a big effort for a small change. So you definitely misread me there.

But when you talked about "hammering" it into a more OOP language, I thought you were talking about big changes or many changes.

> what you're calling "awkwardness with classes" is incorrect. they were _functions_ that you could attach state to, some of that state could, itself, be callable functions. That's a large part of _why_ javascript has prototype inheritance.

Does it matter if the "class" itself is a function or an object or something else entirely? It makes thingies that have the prototype applied and you can do .foo on.

But classes you make with the keyword are still functions, aren't they? So what's the big betrayal?

> I wouldn't call myself a power user of Kagi, but even then I'm getting far better results than other search engines, definitely worth the price per month.

This only works as long as Kagi is a niche. The moment any search engine becomes commonplace I think they will inevitably succumb to SEO. Otherwise, they would have to change their methodologies every once in a while to completely flip the ecosystem.

There was a hilarious blog post on here a few months ago from some guy who collects database company T shirts. A lot of them are quite bad but a few are really good. IIRC his favorite was from Snowflake.

Edit: apparently his favorite was from mongo: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/2016/07/my-favorite-datab... which I have to agree with, that is a good shirt.

I think I might still like the Snowflake one (3) the best though. Although rereading the article he says there is writing on the back of the Snowflake one which makes me not like it as much. There are very few stylish shirts I enjoy that have writing on the back of them.
Its wrong all the time on my Tesla. Its always fun when the autopilot brakes to drop to 55 mph on the freeway when the speed limit is 65.
I'm sure it depends on the situation, but I doubt for example that you could legally copy 50 pages of problems out of one book and sell them in another book verbatim.
It won’t be their premiums going up: if you rear-end someone, you’re at fault.
Given that GPS gets confused and thinks you're on surface roads when you're on the highway and vice versa, I don't see how this will always work. In dense urban areas there are often multiple layers of roadways going the same direction with very different speed limits. Also basic issues like GPS errors because of tall buildings or foliage cover can easily confuse systems such that you look like you're 100's of feet away from your actual position.

The shirts probably won't fit people that well. It just seems like a waste of time/money that nobody will really see value in (I'm a paying customer btw). But if it's more for "you" than the customer then that is a better way to frame it.
