The like and get likes thread

It’s more or less an arms race with new ways constantly propping up…
I’m using

  • AdNauseam as Adblocker (it clicks on tracking ads for me :smiley: )
  • CanvasBlocker to prevent Canvas fingerprinting
  • Clear Flash Cookies and Cookie AutoDelete to take care of cleaning up cookies and persistent objects
  • Decentraleyes to have shared libraries locally served without connecting to CDNs
  • Header Editor to prevent etag tracking
  • Privacy Badger
  • Skip Redirect
  • and uMatrix

Also made browser tweaks along with it.

In general using Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger + an adblocker (uBlock Origin or AdNauseam; I really recommend AdNauseam as it hits the advertiser scum doubly so) should be sufficient for the average person and doesn’t (really) affect the browsing experience… No playing whack-a-mole with what scripts to allow to get it to render in the first place…

Adblock, hosts file, permanent VPN (I have fun logging in from France, Russia, Mexico and Venezuela of all places), hard block on all Microsoft IPs if using Win 10, no mic with whatever explanation works in whatever community, duct tape over the laptop camera and you’re set :smile: Unless you are into serious things, of course :wink:

edit: saw the post above: :+1:

AdNauseam and Privacy Badger merrily installed on my FF, hope they don’t break anything. :grin:

Is decentraleyes important? What’s wrong with using CDNs?

Money is only as important as it’s made out to be.
If the value of money is illegal because those who make it important do it against the law, then,
it’s a liability, not a credit, and it can be trusted to be bad.

They track you all the same… Most websites connect to either Amazons, Google or Facebook cdn’s for the 3rd party javascript libraries and each time your browser connects there to load the resources, Amazon, Google and Facebook can merrily track your browsing.

I can just imagine what hardware and OS and software networks can bring, if they don’t have to be walked through systems using encryption to obligate and limit potential.
I can also understand the military opportunities.
It makes good market sense to detect how those system can interfere against development, and try to justify lack of capital by limiting target customers, while others are informed on the secret data.

It’s a huge apartment building big enough for a huge city and big enough to store Titans in the underground, and over-the-top, garage with side exits.
The only reason it’s underground, is because someone brought a unit of carbon and put it over the garage which serves as valid ground in space.

When you ask women to describe their ideal job, most women—especially highly educated women—say they want to work with people they respect; they want to do a job that’s meaningful, that provides social contact, and that is flexible. Most tech jobs do not satisfy those criteria.

Tech feminists coming in to dispute that finding with emotional arguments purely based on their beliefs in 3… 2… 1…

Just answering Yiole’s question. It likely has not happened but that would be the type of person that needs gadgets (Electronic arms and legs) in a shower. If the Gadgets include those, that is.

Their tracking systems also depends on what is and what is not allowed to track, and how.

The same goes for other entities than businesses, including security.

There is also analysis done on the data gathering they store, or, receive.

Valid concerns are , how secure is the encryption they use, and most importantly, who is the encryption and what is the encryption supposed to protect from.
It’s the same reason why money is not only good to track, but that if it is not, then, it may get lost.

Of course, not everything is legal, and peaceful.

Yes, that is the person who would need that.
However, if the person who need it did make it themselves, for whatever the cause, whether by themselves or external, or if someone else tried to make it seem like if it was their responsibility,they’d be the one.
Somewhat like me, if I need a computer chip which others cannot provide me, or simply don’t want to, so they can make money with it, then I’d have to make my own.

If someone else made the device and installed it, and are supposed to care for it, and no one does, then who would have placed them in that position, in their medical conditions?

It’s something to learn in nursing, about the relationship of help, and about human needs.
Not only is it good to save people’s live in emergency situation, but it’s also the scientific status of conditions in any case.

Feminism haves a serious problem with how men and women are different after all and eelft to their own, naturally gravitate towards certain choices in life that build a society which is more fair towards individuals but is in no way split 50/50. Women like better certain things and men like better others. This is why EVE Online is 97% male, the whole thing is in direct opposition to female choices. Most women literaly have better things to do than play EVE Online.

My fiancée doesn’t play and never played EVE Online .
Quite frankly , she would have better opportunity at art than to play.

It’s like a system of


and

where the value of the system is related to its participants and related entities.

This, by John von Neumann, is also the current computer systems inventor.
A newer system is in development and may soon by marketed for sale.

They refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brouwer_fixed-point_theorem
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré–Bendixson_theorem .

“zero-sum games” definitely have more than one interpretation, the one above being to win at the depends of others, otherwise, the win is not worth it.
It’s rather pathetic in limitation, and can cause aggravation.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how this would lead to war and stupidity.

Another approach is to calculate value, hence a “valuation” system, where, once it reaches zero, the system worth is of little value.
It needs updates, upgrades, and , not too much change as to make it too unstable to be viable, but rather , enough improvement, without too much change, or even, improvement without change, while keeping the same system, but improving some parameters, to increase motivation or value.

John von Neumann (/vɒn ˈnɔɪmən/; Hungarian: Neumann János Lajos, pronounced [ˈnɒjmɒn ˈjaːnoʃ ˈlɒjoʃ]; December 28, 1903 – February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, and polymath. He made major contributions to a number of fields, including mathematics (foundations of mathematics, functional analysis, ergodic theory, representation theory, operator algebras, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis), physics (quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics, and quantum statistical mechanics), economics (game theory), computing (Von Neumann architecture, linear programming, self-replicating machines, stochastic computing), and statistics.

Von Neumann was generally regarded as the foremost mathematician of his time[2] and said to be “the last representative of the great mathematicians”.[3] He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics in the development of functional analysis, and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer. He published over 150 papers in his life: about 60 in pure mathematics, 20 in physics, and 60 in applied mathematics, the remainder being on special mathematical subjects or non-mathematical ones.[4] His last work, an unfinished manuscript written while in the hospital, was later published in book form as The Computer and the Brain.

Now,
“the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers”
is related to models of conflicts, like armed conflicts.
and study of cooperation between parties, including intelligent administrative decision-makers, using artificial intelligence tools to do their work and produce.

Game theory is mainly used in economics, which is used in business, with tools such as International Business Machines, psychology, for decision-making, as to how the brain functions, and intelligence, as well as mathematical logic and computer science, to design computer system models named after him and after this system design for computer systems, and operational computer systems, which not only functions, but that people liked and supported enough to make them operational.

I did not link linear programming which is related to a system designed to implement processes of data processing to transfer the data into a more meaningful information and information system so to make it more useful for human, from data which is harder to interpret by human.
This can be seen in systems , such as , does the unknown exist?
Or does something that we don’t understand be made easier to deal with or understand better?
What if the problem is that it can be understood too easily so that the info can be used against the one who makes it too easily, as a form of weapon or to take financial advantage, or use as target?
Would it be better to make the info into a data, so that it can be processed into information?

So, the linear programming deals with both system to process data into information, from the central processing unit, and other processing systems, and the other way around, to deal with info, and transfer it into data.

lin·e·ar pro·gram·ming
noun
a mathematical technique for maximizing or minimizing a linear function of several variables, such as output or cost.

Linear programming (LP, also called linear optimization) is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a mathematical model whose requirements are represented by linear relationships. Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming (mathematical optimization).

This is referred as Return On Investment (ROI), and is used to compared yearly business profits, to use as statistical reference to improve business or to detect problems to be solved in business .

When I thought of the question I thought more of Adam Jenson, Deus ex, the future (augments). Nowadays they would definitely have a nurse, or family, or appointed personal aid.

Got it, then I have no idea.

Oh, and the girls playing Eve online thing, I actually told my girlfriend about Eve, and to never play it, I showed her some of the news about it (the tyrant, the threats, etc.). It would easier to recommend the game if it weren’t known for “making an [internet] tyrant”.

Back in dust it was actually common to meet a girl, and they seemed a lot smarter than the guys. Like MiMi, who figured out you could use two controllers on one character, so one could talk and move while the other aimed and fired.

I just got a letter from amazon a few seconds ago, about, get this…

We are sending you this letter because you are an amazon prime member who has not yet used any of the video benefits you’ve already paid for.

So, they used my personal address just to point out that they tracked my video watching habits, to tell me I have not watched anything… On a different account, while the mail has a name I have not linked to that account that is personally identifying… How, Why, and What???
