  • I’m surprised by these results tbh. And it seems for most people there is no big difference. But I do think for power users the catch is still there.

    Lazaros Papadopoulos, research assistant at Goethe University, told The Register in an email that the study used the default filter sets for the respective ad blocking extensions in order to mimic the behavior of the typical user and to ensure rule consistency.

    They used the default rule sets. One of the major limitations of mv3 iirc is the number of block list urls you can have. Like I’ve added a number of additional items to block via additional lists which I believe is mostly not possible in mv3.






  • "This hotel is independently owned and operated, and these actions were not reflective of Hilton values,” Hilton told The Independent in an email statement. “We have been in direct contact with the hotel, and they have apologized for the actions of their team, which was not in keeping with their policies. They have taken immediate action to resolve this matter and are contacting impacted guests to ensure they are accommodated.”

    Probably not, their ownership seem to have changed course. Pathetic







  • I’m also noticing the owners said they are bleeding cash. But they bought 7 units (in 4 buildings) for 295,000. Assuming 0 down and 5% apr that just north of 1700 a month. So this one renter paying 727 is nearly half of their mtg.

    Even if we say expenses and upkeep adds 50% to their monthly outlay, their costs are covered at 4 units rented…

    I’m not exactly anti landlord but this screams rent seeking crocodile tears.







  • The argument in the article reference is you can’t do that because all of the future tech has peaked. But that just seems like a lack of imagination. The article had the feeling of existing for quotas sake. It didn’t really make any points worth making considering it acknowledged that there is a whole lot of time between the 24th and. 32nd centuries even if there is no creativity left to improve the future tech.
