Stocks in the modern context are little more than speculative instruments - the equivalent of buying a blind bag of chips from a casino and betting they'll increase in value by the time you attempt to redeem them. They rarely correlate to long-term company health anymore, and often correlate to little more than the psychological state of the market at the moment of any given transaction. Remember that prices are a product of trades, not actual valuation, and that those making trades have a vested interest in getting the best possible price by any means necessary - and that since very few people hold a disproportionate amount of total securities, they have outsized influence on those valuations.

It's why I've always been wary of this forced participation in the securities markets the US seems to have. It's forcing folks to gamble at a casino for the chance to retire or grow their earnings, using historical models to support arguments in lieu of actual regulations or guarantees of returns (like dividends, bonds, or interest rates on savings).
Sure! AdBlock Pro blocks video ads for me, but it shows non-video ads that you gotta skip.

On iPad I just use Brave and haven't seen an ad yet.
Instead, they create a Terms of Use giving them rights to your data and remove the promise not to sell personal data. I love Firefox, but Mozilla either does not understand their users or just loves shooting themselves in the foot. Every time I think they have learned their lesson, they make another stupid decision.

OK.

> The only way to sway general support away from this self-destructive administration is to offer another path towards alleviating the problems that voters face in their lives. The time when you could run on promises of competent administration alone has passed.

Disagree. Another three years of this and "temporary hardship" will be exposed as wishful thinking. People will want actual competence.

So this actually is two sites in one:
* Neptune's Chart a fairly boring natal chart interpreting site, put in your birthday and get an astrology reading (free and paid versions, no signup)

* Neptune's Heart it's ridiculous counterpart site where you put in a birthday and a "cosmic whisper" you want to secretly appear in your targets astrology reading on the chart site.

Inflation was totally self-inflicted. Both the Trump 2020 and Biden admins went crazy over stimulus when the worst of Covid had already been behind us.

Pumping that much free energy into the economy cannot be undone with the simple wave of the austerity wand.
uBO Lite exists and I can't see any visible difference in how well it works. So, it's not a price you need to pay at all.
You can still install uBlock Origin in Brave, assuming you don't mind the crypto stuff and how they pay it out (or, rather don't) to site owners. Even Firefox feels a little weird now with the advent of Mozilla Advertising.

Very much a lesser of all evils situation.
Smaller companies would be more nimble and efficient. Also, Google’s main dominant product (e.g. search & ads) would be forced to compete & innovate vs leveraging Chrome & Android to keep themselves dominant.
It absolutely does not. Dead reckoning has error that accumulates over time, and even "high-quality" dead reckoning will be beaten by a crappy GPS fix very quickly.
Surely you jest?!? Its about 10 days since the Orange One rug-pulled NATO - you think MI6 has had time to plan and auth a false-flag op on a US-flagged ship - never mind decide it would be a profitable course of action?

Quite possibly - anchors get dragged for 60 miles and snagged on undersea cables, people fall out of windows or are poisoned with nerve agents while living quiet lives in foreign countries...

Who’s to say how much the stock price “should” be based on individual company performance, but I think the idea is that individual company performance may be affected by uncertainty in the broader economy. You could also see movement out of stocks in general and into safer investments if the stock market is seen as getting more volatile
I've been operating on the theory since the election, before Trump took office, that Musk and his cabal of billionaires are trying to force a recession so they can buy it all up for pennies on the dollar. Elon Musk directly said "prepare for hardship." Everything that has happened since then has just given me more confidence in my prediction.

It's funny people try to avoid Brave because of the crypto stuff init - like you can totally ignore that (it's not even enabled by default). So in daily usage, it behaves as if uBlock was a browser (rather than a Browser extension). It's great.
It's funny how this behavior resembles the Chinese Party.
Back paddling on the tariffs without any concessions is more damaging the tariffs themselves. It shows the leadership is uninformed and the economy is very weak. Way to flash your weak hand in the first round.
The current administration has stated that the deficit spending will increase by this year.

You may have the alternate opinion due to a few million being saved in chainsaw cuts by DOGE but the proposed tax cuts are orders of magnitude higher.
Yup.

I understand that nerfing adblocking is definitely a big draw for Google, but Apple went the ManifestV3 route many years before, specifically to increase extension performance and privacy.

Back then there was a big uproar too, but mostly because Safari extension developers charged for a new version because they had to rewrite the entire thing.
I grew up listening to some ethnic 78 singles that my father had purchased. I managed to hold onto a couple of them (others were broken) but haven't owned a turntable I could play them on (good luck finding one, or the needles) for decades.

None of the singles had been released on vinyl ... it was clearly not in the interests of the industry's monopolists to do so. Because they showed up on IA (before the Great 78 project even started) I could finally listen to them again. To my knowledge none of them have ever been re-released.
Anyone with a mildly popular extension that has read/write * would be offered lots of money to sell it to, usually, scammers or hackers.

Maybe you're willing to pay the price, but that doesn't mean it was what's best for the ecosystem.

I have no idea how a for-profit company can exist that solely produces a browser.

There's only one model that can work long-term here: collective ownership. The closest model is probably the Wikimedia Foundation. Firefox and the Mozilla Foundation are here, obviously, but they've tried to act like a corporation with rising costs and lower earnings going over years. The money Google pays them is basically poison.

Linux has survived and thrived with something analagous to this but it's also dependent to an unsettling degree on one person (Linus Torvalds). I realize his power has decentralized over the years (intentionally, by Linus) but there's still the constnat risk of a schism.

Google and Chrome is just one small part of the problem. Apple's Safari monopoly on iOS is also a problem. Browsers really need to be a common good.

I suspect none of this will happen. Even though these efforts began in the Biden administration, I suspect this will now become a shakedown. This administration will look to Google to fall in line and kiss the ring. That is now the cost of doing business.
GP Post:
> My company uses gmail so I'm forced to use it.

Your post:
> Everyone dealing with gmail is doing so because they chose to.

No, it's clear that not everyone dealing with Gmail is doing so because they chose to. Repeating your incorrect statement does not make it correct.

Further, everyone has to deal with its impacts on the email ecosystem as it's practically impossible for somebody who works a 9-5 to run their own mail server that Gmail will deign to not only accept mail from but also successfully deliver it to its intended recipient.

So even if I never use Gmail I still have to deal with replies going to / coming from it.
I strongly suspect that free trade is good for the economy as a whole in the short to medium term, though has a negative effect on distribution (disproportionately benefitting those whose jobs can’t be easily outsourced). But in the long term it may destroy a country’s competitiveness by vitiating any comparative advantage.
Stocks values are predictions about the future. Past performance is just one factor among many.

There is no "should".

You have hundreds of millions of people predicting the future using different models and heuristics. The future is a moving Target which also depends on what people think about it.
BYD is also better positioned than Toyota for an upcoming EV world, so there has to be something else going on.
I used to take theanine in college, and this was my experience even over a decade ago.

Suntheanine was consistently effective and most of the other brands were seemingly inactive or unnoticable. I've always had to order online as all of the brands I've bought in store seem to be bunk.

Even still I found tolerance to rise quickly with daily theanine use.
>The rhetoric around Firefox is so exhausting. They change some wording while having made no actual technical changes to the browser and the internet is on fire for days calling them the devil incarnate

Having worked there, it's concerning, since if you saw the discussions that go on with regard to user data, you'd know they are trying to make sure they word things correctly, not... insert weasel words to grab your data.

time spent is not the only question. how much thought it takes, however impossible that may be to measure, is another one. If an LLM assisted programmer is able to solve the problem without deep focus, while responding to emails and attending meetings, vs the programmer who can't, is time really the only metric we can have here?

I noticed this with Tesla, at a glance it looks like it is in freefall, but it's actually just returned to the relatively stable level it was at before the election. It seems like investors were hoping Elon would be able to leverage his position for some kind of large-scale corruption in Tesla's favor, and are now deciding that isn't going to happen.
It's also only true until it isn't.
Yeah but it's also not great when Amazon can undercut their way into every market because AWS is a crazy cash cow, which hurt other US companies. Do you really need Amazon to be a "second government" who can decide what "you" buy, see and to some degree think.

It "works" in China where the government just stomps their feet if companies misbehave too much and everyone complies instantly or get replaced.

We have megacorps in EU too, Airbus and Lidl comes to mind, though I don't think Lidl operates anything but their main business outside of Germany, in Sweden we have Lidl grocery stores however.
It's funny that this line of defense is sincerely attempted here, as it's so absurd that it's actually the punchline of an SMBC comic. And honestly, one of my favorite ones that I find genuinely very funny.

Tariff may be worse for the economy, but threatening tariffs as a "negotiating tactic" with Canada and Mexico is just plain stupid. Unless if they have insider information, businesses simply have no idea how to operate. For example, it would take years to build a factory, and they don't want to sink hundreds of millions in a factory in the US if tariffs don't actually go through or vice versa.
Proton and Kagi have most of the services I've personally needed to de-Google. GCP is nicer than AWS, so will probably keep that around as a paying customer. Only thing I haven't found a great replacement yet for Google Docs (MS office is abysmal, but also lack of testing of alternatives so far :) ).
if we are not going to export dollars, and we are going to make countries spend more of thier own money, then thier cost of borrowing will go up, they will need to rotate out of dollar assets and then traders who use the carry trade will need to unwind them as the source of borrowing (other countries very low interest rates) are no longer very low, as we now see in UK, Germany, and Japan—each hitting very fast highs for interest rates for their govt debt.

It's much more straightforward math then reading of political or vibes tea leaves.

Correct. The AF sensor continually takes more samples even while the motor is moving. You can tell because sometimes the motor overshoots and then you can see it come back.
> Russia has been jamming GPS over Finland, Estonia, and Poland on and off for a couple years, and it's been at its peak now for several months. Sometimes flights have to be canceled.

I feel like we had airports before we had GPS. If this is a regular thing, shouldn't we have ways of using the airport without hoping that the jamming is having an off day?
You jest, but that's absolutely how the MAGA folks talk about it in their echo chamber. It's an alternate reality.
If possible, get the batteries removed from the motherboards - the leaks cause immense damage.

Rechargeable AA batteries in a battery holder are a sensible replacement.

It's shocking. You do everything possible to alienate your core buying demographic, and they stop buying your product. And maybe doing so particularly in markets that provided badly needed and nearly 100% margin carbon credits to sell to other automakers was a particularly bad idea.

I'm sure self-driving cars and humanoid robots will be here any day now, though, just like the semi, or the previous self-driving cars.

I'm only surprised TSLA has held up as well as it has.
That's deceptive marketing. Most of the fuel (by mass) isn't hydrogen/oxygen; it's the solid propellant in the booster rockets. That's very, very not-green: it's a chlorine-rich mixture that destroys stratospheric ozone.
On Firefox, I use a uBlock Origin script to block Twitch ads. (Normal filters don't work on Twitch.) Is it possible to block Twitch ads with uBO-Lite as well?

Agree, and that's kind of obvious.

Not sure. Even less sure how instantaneous and very tariffs can help with that. Also it's not clear how that less of the financealisation.
Glass-Steagal was repealed by a GOP Congress. And the 2009 bailouts were Obama’s implementation of a plan devised by the Bush administration.

That said in economic and trade policy there’s not much difference between Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama. All support free movement of goods and labor. The only difference was in how big of a welfare state to have to mitigate the negative effects.
It goes back waaaaaaay further than 20 years.

The most recent case before this was nearly 40 years ago under Reagan, and he certainly wasn't the first president guilty of it.

Made a tool for generating diagrams of your codebase
After seeing some really cool tools that build high-level overview diagrams of a repo, we wanted to see if we could create a tool for building any diagrams from a codebase (for the diagrams we support, which are architecture, ERD / schema, flow charts, and sequence diagrams).

Try it out on any public Github repo! A few notes:
1) Works best if you are pretty explicit with the prompt. We're only offering 2 free runs right now because of the expense involved. We have some examples built in and I've left a couple links below.
2) Works best on repos of a few hundred files or low thousands. More than that and it really helps if you can provide some explicit instructions on where to look.
3) The feature that links to specific code files is pretty fun.

Here a some examples:

Supabas real time updates: https://eraser.io/git-diagrammer?diagramId=2XXiOvPfJjtfMbWdM...
Subase realtime architecture: https://eraser.io/git-diagrammer?diagramId=nIvgs2dMvarCYJ8zV...

Many Chromium-based browsers will keep Manifest v2 support for a while. But eventually the upstream Chromium codebase will diverge enough that it becomes too much work to keep it and they will be forced to drop it as well.
I'm slightly confused, how would games of that era benefit from a dual CPU setup?

Old games were decidedly single-threaded and built for a single-core world. It was only in the mid-to-late 2000s that games started to be more optimized for multi-core CPUs. And multi-CPU is even more difficult because there isn't any cache sharing.
I think I played Tribes 2 for more time than the time I've spent on every other game combined. Years!
This post is about UBlock being blocked on CHROME. Naturally, the folks interested in this development are likely interested in a chromium based browser that does allow blocking ads. Brave is a solid solution here.

I really like your writing style and effort to critique both sides of a debate, do you happen to have a blog or anything?
The question is: what price does the stock have to reach for shareholders to kick out the board and nominate a board that will fire Musk?
Think bigger in 3 distinct ways:

1. Lower learning curve, for new or revived skills (weaving - gather and summarize)

2. Lower incremental cost: almost always faster at choosing the next step (scouting)

3. Faster time-to-maturity: when building test suites, faster both at first-pass coverage and at gap-filling (zoo-keeping)

But the huge, gaping pitfall -- now coming down the tracks even faster -- is the same as without AI: once you build a complex system, committing to its invariants, you quickly find it difficult to change in the direction you want, because each choice triggers a tangle of incommensurable choices. Sometimes heroic re-factorings (beyond AI now) can extend life a bit, but usually the only people who can avoid abrupt stasis are those with deep experience and the insight into how to change things (incrementally). I'd guess with AI such pitfalls become more common and more difficult to escape.

So: yes, think bigger for projects with relatively definitive and complete requirements, but take care with foundational code you expect to grow.

Yeah, I have a lot of CDs as well, I rip them to FLAC because, even though I doubt I can actually hear a diff between 320kbps and FLAC, it makes me feel like it sounds better.

I find it highly doubtful that legislation will save us with this. It seems like congress, at least in the US, has worked hard to make copyrights longer and longer and worse and terrible. I would love it if they prove me wrong, and made copyright in the US much better, but I think corporations are too intermingled with politics to make that likely.
