I would like to have kids, so I understand your intention here...

But no amount of hugs from your 4yo would replace the 3-week 3000/4000-mile 38-state(USA) road trip my close friends and I took traveling the state and national parks. We hiked, cave dove (dived??), camped, and lived out a rented mini-van. Not to mention all the little road trip memories and folks we met along the way.

Things are not always comparable, pretending they are really misses the mark. Someone might meet the love of their life at a bar. Someone might see a documentary about their homeland that inspires them to find their roots. We have no idea what the lasting effects of a single event might be.
What does sus mean?
The post office scandal wasn't the programers fault, the fault was on the post for prosecution of individuals for something that was the result of a known bug that they chose to try and cover up instead of getting it fixed. Its also the fault of the law makers for passing law that assumes the computer is always right unless the accused can show otherwise but not letting the accused have access to the program needed.
Nonsense. The Morse code world record is 75.6wpm. People with chording keyboards (even one-handed) do double or triple that easily.
yeah, this was expected when they nerfed uBlock (and various other extensions) with the manifest v3. Using another alternatives is the way now for me too, like other comments, using Firefox.
suspect, but susceptible on this case
I don't "invest" in cryptocurrency and never have. I just use it regularly (a couple times per month) to pay for things. For my use case it really doesn't matter what the silly speculators do in their completely off-chain fiat speculation markets.
Makes me think of the apocryphal story that the genius behind Sears Roebuck & co, the thing that enabled them to change from being "just another mail order company" to "The mail order company" was to invert the fulfillment process. this changed the cost of assembling an order from n to log(n)

I don't think it was Mr Sears or Mr Roebuck that came up with the idea, One of their warehouse managers I expect. I always sort of wonder why Sears did not become what amazon is, They already had the infrastructure for it. my best guess, unable to shift mediums fast enough?

While looking for sources to this story(I could not find any, sorry) I did find a claim that bezos was pivotal for a 1992 ruling that no sales tax was due for orders that originated outside the state. and this was critical for amazons early success. I worked for a mail-order company when that ruling was overturned. And it was a mess, I was not in accounting so I have no idea what it did financially, but all of a sudden all the software went from having to handle (in state collect tax, out of state no tax) to (every state, county, city and their dog charges a different tax and now you have to try to figure out what this is and collect it).

I've always wanted a recreation of 80s Saturday morning cartoons, you can choose one channel to watch and if you switch away to another channel, it's gone, just like this. You have three primary channels and two secondary or "local" channels (and maybe a PBS) to choose from. It's a 5½ hour block, to simulate starting at like 6am and going until 11:30am. You get a bunch of half-hour kid and pre-teen shows for a few hours, and then you get some more older teen-oriented shows (like Saved By the Bell), and a 1½ hour block of the cartoon variety-hour shows like The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show. CBS would always have some kind of wild-animal showcase. Throw in some toy commercials, School House Rock, the Time for Timer PSA ("A hanker for a hunk of cheese!"), and those bumpers that showed you how to make the "come back can" and how to whistle with an acorn top.

It's the delivery and the format that I'm nostalgic for, it doesn't need to be the vintage material. It would be cool to have some modern School House Rock and PSA and mini-craft projects.

Grab a big bowl, a box of cereal, and a carton of milk and just veg out in your pajamas on the couch on a weekend morning.
I’ve had to move around my airpods to get them to charge but often times when i close the case they stop charging. I will never again Apple headphones.
When that day comes, I'll drop Firefox like a bad habit as well.

Whoever keeps full-strength ad blocking working is going to be my browser provider. I don't mind paying. Heck, maybe we can just crowdfund someone to operate a minimal fork of Chromium that just keeps Manifest V2 running.

I can't emphasize enough how little brand loyalty I have for any browser that breaks ad blocking. They may as well be removing the back button, it's that boneheaded of a feature removal.
It’s common enough that there are posts about this issue if you do a search for it.
It's probably the HN character limit cutting off the title.

But it also works as a joke (short for suspicious or suspect) and a reference to memes from the game Among Us.
Only about 30–50% of people use ad blockers. The average person is a lot less technically savvy than you realise.
Fedicache: Handling the Mastodon Stampede
“Improved version…capabilities are relatively limited”. Who writes this stuff? The Lite version is only “improved” in the sense that it works with Manifest v3. It’s certainly not a replacement for the original, and the original isn’t going anywhere.
Similarly I find I sometimes enjoy listening to the radio more than Spotify because I don't feel forced to min/max my enjoyment. I have to listen to whatever is on.
The word "improved" seems to be misused here.
Pro tip, don't overuse the word "creator". We are just normal people. And literally no one cares if you are on Patreon or not.

Then, chill. No one is telling anyone what to do. But there are good reasons Patreon may choose to not offer you that feature. Like standing it's original idea and not wanting to compete with a bazillion alternatives like Twitch/Bandcamp/Etsy in each niche. Like not turning creativity into a service business. Some hustlers or professional artists may want it, but most don't want it (even if they don't realize it because they didn't think about the implications)
I have spent my youth in rural Peloponnese and the boredom before the internet came along was insufferable; doing stupid stuff with the car was pretty much how you get some sort of excitement.

For those that, for whatever your reason, haven't already migrated over to something else by now it might save you a bit of effort to flip the flag described here https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/2110644495733... and see what the best options look like in 2025 after forks and the like have had a chance to prove out their stances a bit and the Firefox's funding situation after the Google search deal ruling looks clearer.

That's setting a registry value and having Chrome settings pages telling you that "Your browser is managed" for another six months of V2 uBlock Origin.

If the plug has already been pulled then this works, I've had this set in my registry for a while and uBO is still chugging along as per normal.
Normally “suspicious” or “suspect”. If you click through though you’ll see that here it means SUS as in Single UNIX Specification.

I kinda hate the focus on (well-deserved) uBo but not the whole Manifest V3 bullshit itself.

It affects extensions like uBos most, for sure, and for some of its core features it cannot even be worked around.

But it also hurts the "long tail" of the extension scene badly.

I have dozens of mature, not-really-need-to-frequently-update extensions that require (perhaps trivial) changes to fit Manifest V3. But god knows if the author is still around or bothered to update them. I'm sure some of them are not because I had to download the source code and install them manually.

It's basically python 2 to 3 transition but for Chrome WebExt, even if you ignore the new API restriction part.

---------------

On a broader note, I'm increasingly frustrated by the constant pressure on users to adapt their habits to software changes.

This isn't just about Chrome or browsers in general.

Every year, I find myself spending countless hours battling changes in Chrome, Firefox, Office, Windows, MacOS, not to mention various websites, just to restore functionalities or user experiences that were already there but have been altered or removed. This often involves tweaking hidden settings, using command line switches, or relying on third-party or self-made extensions and scripts. And it affects so-called 'power users' the most because they're typically the ones who use the software or service to its fullest.

I consider myself someone who is open to change. For example, when they move the search button for the umpteenth time (I'm looking at you, Google Play Store), it's annoying, but I can adapt.

However, the removal of a feature is something you can't simply "adapt" to. It leads to a tangible loss of productivity, and it's even more frustrating when a feature that was previously available is suddenly gone.
It will probably be Opera. The only reason I don't use their browsers is because I don't like running non-free software and really don't like using it heavily or for anything important but losing ad block would push me into it.
Decathlon has RFID tags.
I don't understand why you are so aggressive to a layperson asking a question like this. They simply want to better understand what implications the existence of neutrinos has on our understanding of the world, what they actually do, etc. I doubt they were wanting some sort of philosophical understanding of a greater Purpose for neutrinos.
We need a browser with the ad blocker native, never to be pulled out. Bake the damn thing in.
There is zero possibility that 30-50% of people use ad blockers.

3-5% perhaps.
That it may be but there’s no excuse.

Declare an incident first, investigate later.

Cheating SLAs by delaying the incident is a good way to erode trust within and without.
Opera is chromium is it not?
That stat would still leave ~ 1 billion Chrome users which use ad blockers but aren't using big names like uBlock or Adblock. Seems off by an order of magnitude.

It's the main thing I take away a non-engineer doing any sort of presentation at work. Wtf is that banner at the bottom third of the page and why are you putting up with it and happy thrusting it on us.

I'm sure anybody would find it just as weird after they experienced an ad blocker for a short while, they just lack that initial impulse or idea that it's possible.
if you're sus, you might be the imposter.
Chrome is faster for me, and I like tab grouping. uBlock Origin Lite is still supported. It theoretically has less features but I haven't noticed what they are.
I’ve been using Brave since Google announced they were going to do this. Blocking is built in and they support ublock origin with manifest v2 “for now” https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/
Your domain isn't `null.example.com` or something, is it?
But you've heard of YC :P
uBO's competitors do better App Store Optimization.

I used AdBlock Plus for a while because it looked like the more popular ad-blocker.

I only uninstalled AdBlock Plus because it keeps displaying a "upgrade to premium" popup.

uBO has been such an improvement that now I worry I lost some geek gred for ever using ABP.
Or auditors from ticking that box.
I will avoid google Pixel.
Two of it's souvenirs are in my closet currently. The hardware vendor they partner with screws customers and maligns brand google.
I have zero sympathy for any users affected by this, especially the Google apologists that haunt Hacker News. Everyone knows Google is first and foremost an ad company whose business model is based on building intrusive profiles of individual users that can be aggregated, sliced and diced, and sold to Google’s customers, aka advertisers. Go pull Google’s 10K and see how they make their money.
Firefox has multiple tab grouping extensions. And Mozilla independently checks the code of its top 3rd-party add-ons for safety.
What a great read. I love how much info about it is revealed and all of the advice. Makes me feel a bit better about my unreleased software that I think people would find useful
I can't believe how awesome this is. I've spent hours watching.

I'm not sure what's going on. Why is this so great?

The lack of toxic labeling, which is everywhere now?

Thank you.
Every source I’ve found puts it in that range. Are you basing your percentage on something concrete?
They can't interact with the top tab bar after Mozilla switched to Webextension, so you're usually left with an awkward, secondary panel.
> Why do you lower risk by using proven designs?

That’s not necessarily the risk being avoided. The customer may be better off, but project management’s risk vs reward looks very different than the customer’s risks and rewards. Get enough stakeholders together and …

So no, people really do regularly reject the cheapest design that fulfills the spec.
It's bad for developers too, not just end-users.

In particular, I recently ran into a very long-running issue where Chrom[ium] attempts to auto-fill inappropriate shit (like names from saved credit cards) into utterly unrelated form fields.

This has been going on for many years now [0], because maintainers insist their browser must ignore standards like autocomplete="off" [1] and use some "crowdsourced" remote-server fuzzy-recognition bullshit, and when their AI system is terribly wrong there's way for pages to opt-out.

This is especially aggravating for any developers who cannot meet WCAG accessibility guidelines that might be required of them by contract or law, and people have submitted a litany of other problematic examples [2] to no effect.

Radio waves became "useful" because people continued studying them. Neutrinos becoming "useful" would require us continue to study them, not waiting an arbitrary amount of time to study them.

The study of neutrinos is important to our fundamental understanding of how the universe functions. By themselves they might not have some earth shattering ramifications for our day to day life (or they might!), but there's a lot of unanswered questions about how things work at a really fundamental level and neutrinos are among the things we have questions about. Answering these questions would have significant impact on basically every other more "macro" field of study.

Depending on the protocol you can probably do reflection attacks over tcp with TFO.
Now everyone just needs to send their email addresses to HIBP, i.e., email HIBP, so he can connect these identities with IP addresses and working email accounts. For peoples' protection of course.

After everyone "has been pwned" then there is no need for HIBP. The answer is always "yes". Yet I am certain sites like "HIBP" will never go away. Something about email marketing.

Some HN commenter(s) will inevitably try to defend HIBP. But this comment also refers to sites "like HIBP" that use data breach dumps opportunistically to generate web traffic, collect IP and email addresses. Some folks just do not see what is wrong with the idea.

Personally, Hobby Lobby's poor inventory management is a major frustration for me as a customer. Unlike other stores, they don't have any way for me to check online whether the product that I want is at their store. Granted, I avoid shopping at Hobby Lobby in general due to their owners regressive views; but at those times when I couldn't find something at a competitor it would have been helpful to be able to see if I could get it from them.
What are you talking about? The “wrong” above is factual i.e. positive, not normative.

Please be a little bit more charitable with how you read comments. The core observation here is that “Rust is completely novel” is not actually something that Rust practitioners, including junior engineers, actually say. Nobody has said it in this thread, and nobody has even provided a single example of somebody saying it.

Sonos sound systems are fantastic and ushered in some awesome technology that we didn't have when they really started to get off the ground in around 2013.

I have had the full home theatre from them for around 5 years now and it sounds excellent. You could go from playing music in one part of the house, playing TV on the home theater, to playing music from Spotify across the entire house all through one app.

The problem, is that their app lets them down. It was on the front foot when it was first released because it combined TV audio, with 100s of other streaming services linked together in the one app. But it has now become slow and difficult.

Sonos hardware is excellent and the features are still excellent, it's just the execution of those features in the app which have become degraded.
There’s Brave with built-in adblocker…

But they have built-in crypto ads too that so far you can disable.
I understand. For me this raises the question of who is the most secure and reliable registrar for a US citizen. The security of a self-hosted approach appears to be determined by the security of the
MX records, the self-hosted server security, and the IP security of the server.

With the increasing authoritarian tendencies of governments it seems worth considering since they can clearly pressure the big tech companies to access or hijack your email address.
Could you say a bit about how the poker AI works? I know it's not modern, but just curious. Thanks.
I’ve seen demos of people using the Vision Pro while cooking. It seems better. Timers could be places in space about the pots on the stove, the user can interact with recipes or whatever when their hands are dirty, and they probably wouldn’t tear up while cutting onions.

Firefox Containers by far is the best feature I’ve seen in a browser. For that alone, it’s worth trying it out in parallel.

I moved from Chrome to Firefox 4 years ago over months; give it a shot - maybe move your social media browsing there.
It’s normally short for “suspicious”. It gained popularity from being used by players of Among Us when it shot to popularity during the pandemic.

I had never seen it before that.

It’s used wrong in the title, but that’s because it’s an accident. The headline was cut off:

“…over 30 million Chrome users sus_ceptible to intrusive ads”

Underscore to make the cut obvious.
Git without github is pretty much the same as with it. It's just PRs that are different.
It’s what I tell my kids. Two things will put you ahead of most people doing most things: 1) show up and 2) try.
Psst, Brave is adware

I’d love an iMac M4, just the new M4 chip in the G4 body, with an updated display.

I don’t think a robot would add much to the package. It was perfect as it was.

You've gained the convenience of not round-tripping through your email client every time you want to login/authenticate with the service!

The same is true of passwords, of course; if there's an email-based password-reset mechanism, then your email is your real proof of identity; the password is a shortcut.

Passkeys are a shortcut too; they just pick a different set of tradeoffs (less portable, less user-visible, more secure, harder to get phished, less stuff to remember). IMHO, these tradeoffs turn out to better-match the threat model of the modern web.
Google's advertising revenue has been improved by this Lite version of uBlock Origin.

According to Google's lens, the Internet has been improved by Manifest V3.

User Hostility has been strongly improved.

I'm far from an expert in this area, but as I understand it, neutrino and anti-neutrino detectors have some application in nuclear non-proliferation, as you can use them to identify the whereabouts of nuclear reactors, and maybe even fissile materials if your detector is close enough.

I wonder if this new neutrino detector has similar potential applications?
It is for now. I'm sure they'd fork it if they had to.
Opera was the first "not IE or Netscape" browser I used. It would be poetic to go back to it now.
