Yes super educational and informative like all those mukbang videos and unique content created by those famous live-streaming factories. [1]

Chinese users are interested in junk just as much as westerners, if not more, so they will be fed exactly what keeps them glued to their phones.

I don’t believe for a second that every Chinese kid is on Douyin watching science videos for hours.

You’re describing a bad API to begin with. Those are too many steps to test at once too.


I mean, no, that's hardly a website. It's as much a website as example.com/demoscene.exe. Nobody ever stopped making art and video games, it's just that they don't run in the browser.

If you call it a website, then Unity is a web authoring tool.


It actually is a pretty decent website. If you look at the main page [1] instead, it's a gallery to navigate to the subpages. Conceptually not too different than browsing a traditional 2d webpage.

As a virtual 3D space it is much more of a web "site" than a collection of "pages" is a "site".


one reason I love CSS. literally design swapping properties until it looks decent.


Hey, where did my div go?!


Straight into the soup


Float positioning was too responsive.


fair enough, not a comment with substance, but point was anything that doesn't lock you into components is a good thing. plain css is great. off the shelf ui components are boring.


You can replace it now.


Officially? Would be surprised as its soldered to the motherboard!


Well, you can still replace it. You just have to replace the parts attached to it as well.


Which is the logic board aka the computer itself... that's not very sustainable for sure.


Indeed. I was being facetious


> seem to get a pass.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong in being able to identify certain groups. The issue is when the identification is followed by a different behavior.

I can identify different breeds of cats but it doesn’t mean I will mistreat bengals.


You’re not wrong, but that refers to the general idea that you emigrate to improve your status; The caste system should not be exported.


“Happily obese” people like to point out how wrong BMI is. Little did they know they were right for the wrong reason.


Is there anybody (obese and non obese) in the health community that assumes BMI isn‘t wrong ?

I’m not sure what your point is.


I’m surprised this needs to be explained, but the joke is that every time BMI comes up in online discussions, people rally to annonuce that it’s too conservative because it classifies some dedicated bodybuilders as obese, while this study shows that it’s aggregate bias seems to be in precisely the opposite direction.

Which, of course, better fits everyday intuition about how unhealthy most people with high BMI seem to be.

In reality, the failure of BMI to accurately capture the body fat and healthfulness of most individuals is not usually because they’re just too damned ripped. It’s because people eat more and sit more than they ever have.


> people rally to annonuce that it’s too conservative

That’s a bit of a surprise to me. The most common conplaint I heard was “it’s wrong, but we need to keep it around otherwise there’s no way to compare cross-studies”.

We have decades and decades of BMI based classification, and publishing a paper today that needs results from past studies will automatically bind it to BMI. Same on public policies, defining obesity threshold a completely different way would require more politics than most groups are able to tackle.

It’s like coming up today with a different way to count nutrients from calories, technical merit won’t make it prevail over the whole world that has been built around calories.


Yep just below this thread there's a [dead] comment about how a bodybuilder had high BMI despite not being fat. It's always the same cliche.


Pointing out that Earth is round no matter how often it is repeated does not become any less true.

BMI and bodybuilder example may be less obvious unless you know that muscles are more dense than fat but it is true nonetheless.


Chrome has a hard wall around some features like chrome.scripting and promised APIs (MV3-only) but Firefox doesn’t.

It seems that Firefox is keeping around the same MV2 APIs so Firefox extensions will eventually be able to update the MV number with no effort.


That wasn’t the intention obviously. You may call it shortsighted, but they certainly wanted to kill the old platform and start fresh. Only now we know that wasn’t as easy.

In reality we should be thankful that it hasn’t happened (yet) rather than bashing the choice to keep MV2 around longer. They could very easily pull the trigger, I don’t think many will actually switch to Firefox just for that. Most won’t even know.

As a product manager, I don’t know what they’re waiting for exactly.
