> then they could have easily hidden the required network-reading functionality behind a flag or "developer mode"

For all intents and purposes, that's basically equivalent to deleting uBlock Origin for 99.9% of the 29M users it currently has.

> only allowed it for a small set of manually-audited extensions like uBlock Origin

That would most definitely lead to accusation of favoritism. That would be just as annoying of a pipeline to maintain.

They delayed the release 3 times, it was first announced in 2020. The whole time, they were taking feedback and making changes. They made a ton of changes that made MV3 adblockers possible.
> Also interesting is that "bullpup" to describe a type of firearm comes from this usage of bulldozer.

It does? Can you point me to more information on this topic? I thought the etymology of "bullpup" was far from settled.
DMCA claims took out huge numbers of public torrent trackers which was how 99% of people accessed contraband media. All the way back in 2008, the loss of TorrentSpy.com probably shifted everybody to private trackers, but it's a whack-a-mole game there too and most people won't bother.

DMCA also led to the development of ContentID and automated copyright strike system on Youtube, but it didn't block you from downloading the stream as a high bitrate MP3, which is possible even now.
One big difference from most of the other companies is that George Church works in this company now.

>In fact it talks about her "tourist visa" (which allows up to 6 months).

No, if you read the article carefully it never stated that she had a tourist visa at all. Only that she was told "she should have applied for a working visa, instead of a tourist visa". That's not the same as her possessing a tourist visa. Moreover a "tourist visa" (of 6 months) isn't something you can apply for at the border. If she just showed up at the border, then by all likelihood she's getting in via the Visa Waiver Program, which has a 90 day limit.

So it sounds like what happened was that she drove across the US border from Canada, tried getting in using the Visa Waiver Program, the border guards grilled her, she cracked under pressure (ie. admitted she was going to do stuff inconsistent with the Visa Waiver Program), and they tried to deport her back to Canada. However, Canada doesn't want to take her back so she's stuck in limbo.
it's easy to see how people might say v3 is an adtech conspiracy. Ads are always served to the user now, expect a noticeable revenue increase by almost every adtech company.
I will expend a great deal of time, money and energy fighting to make sure that people who say things like "If the only way to preserve something is to pirate it, then the ethical and legal action is to let it disappear" with a straight face will never win.
it is true, multiple sources reported that.
Well, there are also countries like Switzerland where there is a substantially higher amount of gun ownership compared to that of the rest of Europe but very few of the same issues of other countries with similar ownership per capita. Though, that’s probably due to the required service training and the screenings that come along with it. And it being a relatively small country.
You're only shifting the problem somewhere else!

This is a trap. Extensions can still block elements in v3. If you use Lite you probably won't notice much of a difference. But in the background, it will no longer be able to modify network calls. That means you are no longer being protected from tracking AND your web browsing experience is once again being slowed down by the loading of ads (even if you don't see those ads)

Separating plans from facts is such a great idea for ticketing. That would also make stories have a clearer separation from tasks. Your ticketing system could be used as a way to document your software from the customer's perspective.
> Unless there’s evidence that he was personally doing or inciting illegal activity ...

I bet any decent prosecutor can make the case that organizing (and defending) a protest that engages in violence is illegal, including when the organizer cannot be proven to directly participate in the violence.

And, frankly, (my personal moral opinion) that is just not OK to do. If this happens, you walk away. If you don't, there may be consequences.

But if you want to shout that there is no direct proof of this person directly committing violence, well, no, there isn't. Al Capone famously also never hurt a fly (or at least, never convicted for that), in the same manner: he organized violence against people, he did not do it himself.

> Can you provide a citation to that law?

Again, this will be subtle, so if you want to shout "so you CAN'T" again, you'll probably be able to. You will not get any response beyond that. Specifically what is not addressed in my response is the conflict between Federal law and States' law. But here you go:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/22/41.122

TLDR: the secretary of state (and thus the president) can request that a visa be revoked, and that's that. He is not limited in that. Here is the secretary of state announcing his intention to do just that:

For a green card holder, apparently a (federal) immigration judge must confirm the decision.
You misinterpret me for someone in support of aggressive immigration policies: I am more in favour of EU-style globally open borders.

But the law should either be applied to everyone equally, or overturned to not be applied at all. "Equally" does not mean you do not account for each individual case's specifics — I was responding to a comment saying there was a "right and wrong way" to apply a law (if it's applied the "wrong way", then law is not applied at all).

I am in favour of abolishing any detention for "illegal immigrants" who agree to voluntary deportation.

Also note that I am not a US citizen, so this is just personal opinion.

Totally agree! The UK will always be part of Europe culturally, no matter what political changes happen. Only Fools and Horses is such a classic - I think every European country has their own version of Del Boy trying to make it big with crazy schemes! Those cultural connections don't just disappear because of politics.
To be clear I’m not doubting you, but how does this square with the fact that these are literal DVS-B tuners? Do they perform some decoding in hardware for this purpose?
One of the most important skills a lawyer can have is being able to comprehend highly complex topics in a very short time with minimal information to a reasonable level of confidence that they can advise genuine subject matter experts (experts the lawyer counts on knowing more about a topic than the lawyer does) about risk issues.

This is, of course, one of the most important skills anybody can have, but most people are terrible at it (whether by lack of talent or lack of practice) so our society pays lawyers to do it for them.

Yes, but Google left that functionality half baked intentionally, letting 3rd party developers fill the void. Even now the Google Files app feels like a toy compared to Fossify Explorer or Solid Explorer.
That's hysterical! (geddit?)

But more seriously, there's a number of words like that, IIUC.
E.g. cretin, barbarian, slave, hysterical, lesbian. Probably other terms as well, I'm guessing.

I'm not sure it's worth getting too worked up about the original usages of those terms, if most people using them aren't making the connection.

Ah. I don't know why men take that so offensively. It's like, okay, men have a testosterone issue, keep an eye on it (we are all a work in progress).
I very strongly doubt this attack was state-sanctioned if it came from Ukraine... but it could very well be a Ukrainian vigilante. As seen by arson of Tesla dealerships in the EU, many are upset about Musk's involvement with the current US regime and his anti-EU and anti-Ukraine rhetoric. I would not be surprised at all if a lot of Ukrainians hated him to the point of irrationality. It could also very well be a false flag perpetrated by Russia trying to drive a wedge (further) between the US and Ukraine.
It isn't just human bias that makes this problematic. Their definition of success is that a prediction of 70% should be right about 70/100 times.

Give a model a big reward for "success" under this criteria and it will have a tendency to converge on the long term average. As long as the long term average stays the same, no one will be able to say the estimate was wrong.

If you've ever seen the YT videos from aspiring data scientists learning sequence prediction, you've inevitably seen a variation from people trying to predict stock prices. "Look how low the loss is!" - Sure, but it gets the direction wrong, and just consistently predicts a close value to the previous day's close. But the model is technically correct, just useless.

A 50-50 model for an election might not be giving up and might not be wrong, but it is often useless.

Embedded video playback with iframes is already restricted somewhat - many videos are flagged to not play when embedded. So it wouldn't surprise me if they clamp down on that further - but DRM is a separate concern and shouldn't have anything to do with iframes.

This isn't just about policy uncertainty. Looking at the hard data (Atlanta Fed GDP forecasts, rising delinquency rates on industrial equipment leases, and major retailers' warnings), there are actual economic indicators flashing red. While sentiment certainly matters in markets, we're seeing legitimate signals of weakening fundamentals beyond just reaction to policy shifts. We live in a world that is way more fragmented than it was 5 years ago. The market isn't just responding emotionally - it's pricing in real economic risks.
The argument I make in the book is that the last 5% of CSS/design should be written by people who can write CSS. Nobody else should even be writing CSS because it turns into a huge mess when everyone jumps in.

Stops in 2000. Historians often say you need time and distance to put some things in perspective, maybe 25 years isn't such a bad back-date to stop at?

Look, I wanted to be neutral, but I gotta say I don't think the state department or any other department is going to put this current administration in their highlights bucket. Maybe I am wrong, and there's a narrative in 25 years time which sells this one.

I feel it would be like trying to sell Woodrow Wilson v Congress at the end of WW1: Hard to push shit up hill.

I went looking and about Allende/Chile - the site is interesting: it affirms there was talk about how to avoid his presidency but says the enquiry found no evidence of active involvement in the coup which led to his death. I think even now I find that remarkably bland. ITT did not need to leave a paper trail. However in the spirit of neutral history, if thats what the enquiry found, then thats what the state department should document.

Just curious, I would think that if this came from a group, they would not use servers in their home country. If it's DDOS then maybe it came from a botnet, which would be widely distributed.

The part I find the most suspicious is how quickly he came to such a simple answer when it would seem like usually this takes tracking back through multiple server farms?

Unless it was a single vigilante, who used his personal computer from Ukraine to do the attack, which seems pretty flimsy.

Hot take: you suck at CSS because you never bothered learning it.

A long time ago, everyone in my team kept making excuses why they hate css. I went to Lynda.com and found a pretty good class. I can't remember the instructor, but it was so good that I still use the same patterns more than a decade later. I tried to get the whole team to take it, but no one wanted to. "It's a waste of time", "It's not even a programming language."

They built all kinds of tooling around css, trying to avoid css. We had dormant css that no one could ever figure out if it was used, we had important and position absolute everywhere. Today, it's not so different. You see divs with 20 or 30 classes in them.

Just learn css. Any class is better than no class.
But then you’d have to carry it back.
Common sense is only an excellent guide if you want to predict specific kinds of things about the world. It breaks down once you leave the realm at which our senses operate (which includes national economies).

Morever, equating logic and common sense is to deny the recency of "logic". Humans reasoning like this, even if you want to take it back to the Sumerians, is a very recent development in human experience (probably).

I agree that the conditions are far from ideal, but if that's how US generally deals with people waiting for their court dates, it's what it is.

This does not mean US should not work to improve those conditions for everyone — I don't see a difference between a Mexican person overstaying or her overstaying from the angle of immigration clerks — it should! US should also certainly adapt laws to avoid any "detention" for people open to "voluntary deportation".

In my non-EU European country, arbitrary application of laws is exactly what's the issue. This leads to rampant corruption and society going crazy (it's not about being a good citizen, it's about not getting caught being a bad one).

HP has always (after the Compaq merger) had unethical people running the company. I stopped buying their printers after LaserJet4. I did however have one of their DDS4 tape drives that I had paid over $1k for, about 25 years ago. I stupidly updated the firmware shortly after the warranty period was over, and then immediately noticed a new loud pinging sound whenever it loaded or ejected the cartridge. It died within a few days of the upgrade, and I always suspected that HP had deliberately killed it. I bought a refurbished unit from them for another big chunk of money, because I was locked into the media platform.

I haven't bought an HP product since.

He has 94 data points. Not nearly enough to average out so many potentially confounding variables, and there is no way to know they would. That will be the case in almost all N=1 experiments. Perhaps he takes the pill at the onset of stress, and stress almost always tends to build afterwards. This would be a probable case for many people trying to use theanine in this way. I could never accept that we should presume it would average out, and thus I consider logging potentially confounding variables essential to a valid experiment of this type of uncontrolled experiment. Your hypothesis would be much more relevant in a larger experiment of course.
