I mean, yeah. Physical replicas of art are imperfect, and their existence doesn’t devalue the original. Even two copies of the same piece by the same painter aren’t identical.

This is amazing! I have very fond memories of dominating my fellow middle schoolers in this game years ago; I wonder how I’d do in this version. :) What kind of tricks did you employ to account for things like latency, etc. when calculating

Surveillance doesn’t physically harm anyone, either, but does that also reduce conscious suffering in the long run? Sibling comments are right: physical harm != harm.

If I recall correctly, the checkm8 exploit they use is a bootrom exploit, meaning it occurs at a low-enough level exploit that it can only be patched with new hardware. Every iOS version on vulnerable hardware will forever be exploitable.

Excellent point, way less tinfoil-y.

As the parent commenter mentioned, this technique comes from RTS games, so you could start here: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131503/1500_archers_o...

Which includes your full name and address, right? I’m sure at that point it’s pretty trivial to link it to the data hoard dedicated trackers have on you.

by just-ok 6y ago
Yep, this is exactly where I'm at. Opening up the AppStore is a slippery slope to having 3rd party stores rife with apps that abuse private APIs and go well beyond the gated access to the iOS sandbox that the SDK provides.

To be fair it's perfectly possible to be against a free market in one scenario and for one in another.

I would argue that this is because there's far less to gain on Android vs. iOS in terms of data collection and privacy by leaving the Play Store. It's pretty apparent just by perusing the two SDKs how much less information you can

You can use !s for StartPage for the “Google can’t see my queries” layer.

Ah, didn’t see that bit, but at least we know the tech exists beyond Oculus’ labs.

Well, both Linux and Windows let you have offline accounts (though the latter heavily discourages it, and I can’t speak for macOS), so there’s precedent in the desktop world for that functionality. Of course, why would Facebook bother to su

In our case they definitely do. We finally had an opportunity to ditch AT&T’s pathetic 3Mbps DSL offering in our area (which was their best plan...) recently in favor of Comcast’s 200Mbps which was cable-based (so obviously differen

At the very least, you could use !s (for StartPage) to get Google’s results without the tracking.

Combining technologies would absolutely be a great way to pivot, as the article shows. Maybe it’s a dumb question, but why don’t we have sails on modern ships as a supplement? I just lament that we basically completely abandoned such a gr

I’m no expert, but it’s possible that advances in material science, our understanding of wind & ocean currents, GPS, etc. over the last, what, 150 years? all could massively improve efficiency. As far as I know, humanity was still impro

It’s honestly a shame that we didn’t keep pursuing sail technology. It’s great that we’re finally getting somewhere environmentally-friendly with ship tech nowadays as in the OP, but if we’d put the same amount of effort to innovate and adv

So there's going to be a model that controls the output of other models? I guess it really is turtles all the way down...

That’s definitely true, re: inline citations getting in the way. When I typeset, I typically have citations use the ^[1] form I described above (like on Wikipedia) to alleviate this, and typically also use a lighter font color to make them

by just-ok 6y ago
Footnotes are great when done right. If you're using footnotes to cite things, you're doing it wrong: inline citations exist. If that's not enough for you, use a different syntax (say, ^[1] instead of ^1). If you're usin

Wow, I should find a job I’d be happy staying at for a few decades so that I don’t have to deal with this nonsense come hiring time. Is this really what we want recruiting to become?

Wow; I don’t think I’ve ever watched a hour-plus lecture recommended by an Internet stranger before today. Thank you for sharing this. I was compelled by zomglings’ review and the value (heh) was apparent by minute ~15 as promised. Reframin
