Instead of directly clicking the short to play it, open the menu at the bottom right and click add to playlist. This will play out in the classic player without having to configure ublock rules. And if the rest of the playlist is playing at more than 1x, this will also apply to the short.

Inception 2.0

What flag does using a Casio watch raise? I have a G Shock that i love though i don't wear it as often nowadays.

Similarly, many of humans' capabilities are pretrained with massive computing through evolution.

Hmm .. my intuition is that humans' capabilities are gained during early childhood (walking, running, speaking .. etc) ... what are examples of capabilities pretrained by evolution, and how does this work?

A solo maintainer getting hit by a bus can be mitigated by forking the repo by other interested contributors. A more malicious scenario raised by OP is a solo maintainer with little to no funding getting enticed by a nation state actor to add a backdoor, a supply chain attack proven to be very feasible by the recent XZ library incidence.

Except they are not his "customers", they are his product :)

My 10 years old son asked me a few days ago "Dad, is there any way I can get rid of these ads I keep seeing all the time on YouTube?".

I answered that he could use Firefox instead of chrome (I've already configured Firefox on his laptop account with ublock origin).

He was reluctant at first to use Firefox rather than chrome but it seems getting rid of ads was a compelling enough advantage that he did use it eventually.

In some places of the world, hiding from drones could be a matter of life and death. But if someone uses techniques for evading drones, and other people around are not, couldn't he be alerting the drone that he might be a potential target?

The comment period is closing in 3 days. The page links to a 4MB text archive of comments so far[1]. I think this one quoted below explains the issues with this proposed amendment:

  Dear Madam, or Sir,
  I am concerned about this amendment to the Registry Agreement because it
  will affect, not just me, buy any individual who would like their own
  domain name.  I am 100% sure that no corporation will object to the 28%
  cost increase every six years as they earn money off their domain name and
  paying almost any amount would be acceptible to them.  However, there are a
  great deal of small businesses that would see this as a burden as well as
  individual users out there that have purchased their own domain name and
  are using it for personal use, not commercial use.  Several of us have
  multiple domain names, if for no other reason than to protect our own names
  from being used to run a website.  I personally have about 6 that I use to
  protect myself and my family while also allowing my children to be able to
  have a domain name that is exclusively theirs.

  20 year Cost analysis:
  $ 7.85 / year 2018
  $10.29 / year 2023 (31% increase over 2018)
  $13.49 / year 2029 (72% increase over 2018)
  $17.68 / year 2035 (125% increase over 2018)
  $23.17 / year 2041 (195% increase over 2018)

  I am aware that the 7% is a maximum per year for each of the four years
  and, theoretically, there could be no increase or a sub 7% increase some
  years, however, I have little faith on this being the norm and, most
  certainly, CANNOT plan on it being any less than the full 7% in any fiscal
  plans made.

  I understand it would be extremely difficult for you to create a
  regulation that would charge businesses more and individuals less, however,
  that may be what is required at this time.  This would leave a loophole for
  businesses to have an individual register their domain name, however, no
  corporation of any size will be willing to leave their domain names in
  private hands.  This would also allow fledgling businesses (aka startups)
  to keep their costs low at first.  Remember, many businesses have been
  started in individual's garages.

  You may also assume that all ".com" domain names are used for, or are
  supposed to be used for commercial purposes, however, this is not the case
  today.  If this had been defined and enforced from the beginning of the
  internet, this would be a non-issue, however, to start enforcing it today
  would cause many many individuals to lose their domains.  Yes, there are
  other top level domains they can move to, however, that doesn't alleviate
  the fact that they would be losing an asset they had invested much time,
  money, and resources acquiring.

  Please keep the annual fee very low or consider a more flexible charging
  system for the .COM top level domain that will keep it accessible to
  individuals and small businesses.

  Thank you,

  Andrew Farnsworth
