Stop using their user-hostile service? They need my eyeballs in order to sell me to advertisers. If they are creating features that turn users away, their bottom line may be impacted enough that they reevaluate their user-hostile business practices.
And given that drum and barrel (when referring to containers) are usually synonyms in English, it's not unreasonable to imagine a non-english speaker confusing the two, remembering that 'barrel' is a term related to guns, and saying '100 round barrel'.
>A barrel is not a unit of measure for rounds. Learn something about what you want to discuss if you want to have any valid point, being clueless and talking is not a good idea.
Actually my whole point is that people should not care about, and not be allowed to own those things...
That said, I've been in the army myself back in the day, I just don't care for guns to keep reading about them 20 years afterwards, or to go read about the different variations on the market.
Nor is english my first language, I read that the shooter used a 100 round barrel, I guessed they mean an attached mechanism (round), or some magazine or something. I know that revolvers have barrels, and those bizarro mob guns in the 20s (tommy guns?).
Still, apparently there's a 20-bullet barrel, how about it?
They were joking, and you're being needlessly hostile. Plus you're wrong on multiple counts. Most of the counter examples are historic, but still.
Yes, barrel is not a unit of rounds, but there are situations where it would be appropriate. Superimposed loading is where multiple rounds are loaded in the same barrel and are fired sequentially. This is a very old idea, but for a modern take on it look up (the now defunct) Metal Storm. Terrifying stuff.
There have been guns with many more barrels than 7 or 8. Volley guns have been made with anywhere from just a few to nearly a hundred barrels. They weren't always big platform mounted monstrosities either. A famous example would be the nock gun: a 7 barrel, shoulder-fired flintlock.
Eh. I'm talking about things we intend to keep in their current structure. Getting all negative about trash is kinda boring, really.
Given a reasonable extension of existing technology, we could eliminate that trash eventually. Imagine, say, machines designed to find plastic trash in the ocean, powered by ocean currents/thermals, that decompose the trash into basic releasable organics like CO2 and water. Just takes the will to do it. And hopefully someday, that will will exist.
And cleaning up the wreckage of the Industrial Revolution for the sake of future generations would be a legacy we could be proud of.
I don't think this is quite true. And if I were to accept it as a hypothetical, what you are saying is that if too many people need to see a specialist, many of them should outright not be able to because they do not have enough resources. Which is ethically horrific.
No I'm saying the supply is artificially constrained by the price of "free" so there is less incentive to go into medicine, hence shortages at the price demanded.
No, but they aren't compensated nearly as well due to the market prices being "set" lower than what they can command in another market. i.e. practicing medicine in the U.S. commands a higher wage than in Canada so doctors leave the Canadian system after completing their residency. Hence, the shortage of supply caused by a market distorted by socialism.
This started a long time ago, I remember during the Bush/Gore election the media using "some people say" as a intro to a topic, as if those words validated the entire thing and had to be responded to. Might have started earlier as well but I didn't watch much US news before that.
Are you using chrome and also have either uBO-Extra or Nano Defender installed? If not it's most likely the ads are being served by Instart Logic. [1] [2]
> What is the trade-off for not being included by default in the main extension, CPU?
gorhill's (developer of uBO) explanation from[1] below:
> uBO-Extra is needed to deal with IL stuff because the IL inline script appears at the top of the served HTML page -- before any other secondary resource-pulling tag.
uBO-Extra injects its content script declaratively, i.e. on every page, hence it will always run before IL stuff.
The root cause of why it is needed is because of a bug with web socket implementation in chrome.[2]
Additional info on why both are needed (& why for chrome but not firefox) in some reddit threads.[3][4][5]
> NYTimes is the main reason I've been on the search for some kind of feature for HN (addon? greasemonkey script? ANYTHING) to auto-hide articles based on domain or title matches. Does anyone have a solution?
You'll leave an orphaned article info table row with this approach but you can hide the article row itself with uBlock Origin procedural filters[1].
