Perhaps the zooming presentation was, but the mechanical inspiration was a different jam game, Sokosoko.

About half of smartphones sold in the US and Canada are iPhones. The Mexican market is dominated by Android.


Part of the impression that iOS is dominant comes from usage stats. Last I had insight into the stats (maybe three years ago? Four?) iOS users spent way more time using their devices than Android users, it had been that way basically since iOS and Android had existed, and that state showed no signs of changing. Web browsing? Average iOS user does more of it. Time in apps? Ditto. So they have a much larger usage footprint, are more visible in hands as you're out and about, et c.


It came out a couple months ago.

Bleem successfully defended their commercial PlayStation emulator against a lawsuit from Sony, setting a solid precedent in US law even though the legal costs ended the company.

AV vendors have points of contact to report false positives. They don't always respond quickly, but they're not brick walls. Reliable FPs from a specific toolchain seems like something their team would be especially interested in solving. CrowdStrike's reporting point is an email address on their contact page: https://www.crowdstrike.com/contact-us/


Ok I sent an email report explaining the issue with additional info. Let's see what happens.

Edit: Got a reply:

> Thank you for contacting CrowdStrike’s public AV scanner team! If you have not done so yet, please upload a sample of the file in question to Hybrid Analysis at https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/. Furthermore, please make sure that your request contains the SHA256 hash of the file.

I look forward to them no longer flagging one specific Nim binary produced just as an example.


There are a couple arguments against case-insensitive filesystems I think are strong. The first is simply compatibility with existing case-sensitive systems. The second is that case is locale-dependent, so a pair of names could be equivalent or not depending on the device's locale.

I don't think I've seen any good argument against normalization, though.


Let's hear what the father of the web had to say about web 3.0.

> People keep asking what Web 3.0 is. I think maybe when you've got an overlay of scalable vector graphics – everything rippling and folding and looking misty – on Web 2.0 and access to a semantic Web integrated across a huge space of data, you'll have access to an unbelievable data resource… — Tim Berners-Lee, 2006

That's funny, he didn't mention blockchains once.


People bring up this semantic web thing in Web 3.0 discussions all the time. I still don't know what he was talking about. I don't think it happened, though?

Semantic Web 3.0 and blockchain web3 stuff both suffer from at least one shared problem* -- the internet is a living, evolving system. Web 2.0 was labeled in retrospect to describe a general, but clearly visible change in the way websites were build. Much easier to predict something that has already happened and which everyone can see.

The only prediction I think that we can make about the internet is that it will defy any predictions that we make about it.

*Not to say this is the only problem either had -- for example, web3 also suffers from a wide range of credibility issues, IMO.


Not the worst place to start, but considering palm oil has been used in cooking for thousands of years it's not clear what that principle has to do with this story.


Please understand that blanks are live rounds and can be deadly if handled without care. Saying it was a live round does not mean it was a bullet. From the article:

> A source close to the union said Local 44 does not know what projectile was in the gun and clarified that “live” is an industry term that refers to a gun loaded with some material such as a blank ready for filming.


Blanks can be deadly if you put them up to your head like Jon-Erik Hexum. But a wadding cannot go through one person at some distance and then injure another. Something else was inside that gun that turned into a projectile.


Ok, I can see how blanks are called live rounds. Still my understanding is:

1. The person handing off said 'cold gun' which to me implies the weapon was not charged with anything. Please clarify if I misunderstood.

2. The victim was shot at a distance. This makes it probable there was an actual bullet in the weapon. Why assume anything different?

So I still wonder why there would be bullets around on the set.


You're probably thinking of "Personal Blocklist", an official Chrome extension developed by Google. It's no longer available.

Someone should inform https://killedbygoogle.com/ to update their site.


That actually sounds awesome. But the user in control? No wonder Google killed it ...


That’s the one! Thank you.
