RxJS author here. I'll make sure that it's more cross platform as I do actually work for Microsoft. This has been a Netflix only training platform, but in order for us to teach more, we have to be better about supporting all browsers.
^ This is the way to go. Don't waste any energy on the "unknown" word, just fill out the one that has been smeared out and fill in bogus for the rest.
If you want to post on 4chan and don't have a Pass, you need to solve a captcha for every single post. It becomes easier with practice, I fail maybe 1 in 10 captchas. And the more captchas you solve correctly, the easier the captchas for your IP get.
If enough people colluded to use the same unknown word, say "foobar", then couldn't they train recaptcha to believe that is the true value of the word? If I understand recaptcha correctly, and assuming they don't detect collusion well, then eventually the known word pool would get poisoned with a surplus of foobars.
>Checking for offensive words is only one of the filters we have. Even without that filter, it’s essentially impossible to get recaptcha to return a false result.
This has happened in google image labeler. Now offline, it was a game where two random people were matched and needed to find new tags for the same image - the scoring was cooperative so points were given when you both chose the same word in the same game. /b/ of course quickly organised the jesusporn metagame... Label the first image as jesus, second as porn, third with jesus, etc. This resulted highest scores for some time.
This is pretty awesome, but I don't know if people often phrase their queries like that, and I'm not sure whether it's worth it to start phrasing it like this. It doesn't seem to support more complex bash queries, so I'm not really sure how often this will be used.
Nooo! Mistake #0 about shell scripting is thinking [ is syntax. It makes it way more weird and inexplicable. [ is a command, just like any other. That's why there needs to be a space between it and the next thing, and why you have to use weird looking flags and such. This is why I prefer the command `test`. It does the same thing as `[`, but is more obviously a command. And when you see it as a command, it's obvious that any command can be used in an if directly; if is just checking the exit code. (Whenever I see someone doing `if [ $? -ne 0 ]`, it makes me cry.)
If you have App Ops you can prevent any app from phoning home, or just gathering sensitive data in the first place (although you can't stop a keyboard from storing your keystrokes).
Glad to see this happen. When people talk about vegetarianism, it's almost always about the moral aspect of killing animals, and rarely about the huge impact the meat industry has on our environment.
People often dismiss vegetarianism because they like meat too much, stating that they can't go without that delicious steak once a week. The fun part about reducing your meat consumption in consideration of the environment is that you don't have to cut it entirely, it's just a matter of adjusting your everyday habits.
On Harry being a Mary Sue: That kind of depends what meaning you use.
If you mean the self-insertion, I think that's not too bad. Yes, Harry's reasoning is similar to Yudkowski's, but that's kind of the whole point of the fic. It's not like Harry is a copy of EY himself.
If you mean being idealized and overpowered, I agree. The only part so far where things went wrong because he didn't think fast enough or consider all the possibilities is in the most recent chapters.
On it not updating often enough:
Totally, but up to chapter 96 will be released over the next few days, so you may want to stick around for a little longer.

FYI, Eliezer has explicitly stated that Harry is sometimes wrong and that he disagrees with him. He hasn't given specifics AFAIK.
