Be the top player of the world and you too can enjoy a trial period of free health care.

Not from Taiwan, but the way it works is that there's a unique ID on each of the receipts. The ID is there anyways, so no additional things to be done at this point. What's different is that a lucky ID is announced e.g. every month, and the person with the receipt can collect a small amount of money.

This is perfectly captured in the recent Civil War movie, the Jesse Plemons' scene, "What kind of American are you?".

Thanks for the source!

Haven't heard about any riot in central London. Is there a chance you are referring to the Liverpool Street (a place in London), rather than Liverpool (a city)?

Comments on toilets of France, England, and Germany by Slavoj Zizek: https://youtube.com/watch?v=8mtZmBvat4k

Another good bit (not in the video) is that Zizek thinks that's why Germans can endure great pain and sacrifices for an ideal…if you are strong enough to observe your shit for health reasons, there's nothing you can't do!

For true immutability, burn something like tails on a read-only CD.

Figma is the complete opposite of free software. It's a cloud-only proprietary software.

From my understanding, MV3 kills vital features of ad-blockers in that

1. Some filtering rules do rely on the ability to read the content of the webpage, which can't be migrated, per the FAQ linked in the article
2. The declarative API means an update to the rules requires an update to the plugin itself, which might get delayed by the reviewing process, causing the blocker to lag behind the tracker. It might not be able to recover as quickly as uBO in the recent YouTube catch-up round.

They git gud…at suing!

How to poison AI models for fun and (at the cost of other people's) profit

Wikimedia Foundation (the org behind the Wikipedia and similar projects) does get more donations than their operational cost, but that's expected. The idea is that they'll invest the extra fund^1 and some day the return alone will be able to sustain Wikipedia forever.

Although, some have criticized that the actual situation is not clearly conveyed in their asking for donation message. It gives people an impression that Wikipedia is going under if you don't donate.

Others also criticized that the feature development is slow compared to the funding, or that not enough portion is allocated to the feature development. See how many years it takes to get dark mode! I don't know how it's decided or what's their target, so I can't really comment on this.

They publish their annual financial auditions^2 and you can have a read if you're interested. There are some interesting things. For example, in 2022-2023, processing donations actually costs twice as much as internet hosting, which one would expect to be the major expense.

Thank you dark souls.

They are already invented: 😱 and 😱😱😱

Show me sand the floor.

"No one is above the law" seems a bit of circular with the fact that the law is what the Supreme Court says it is. Similarly, who would decide whether a Supreme Court judge violates the purported Code of Conduct?

I guess it would all come to the legislation branch, but even if the reform goes through, I'm afraid that the political division in the Congress would limit its effectiveness.

Conceptually yes, but you can achieve better efficiency by putting multiple adders together with e.g. a Wallace tree.

There are more efficient ways to expand adders than simply chaining them as well.

The link to the study is just a "Paid Search Ad" page. Ouch for the professionalism of Forbes.

Well, that already happened for Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
