An exploit has been discovered that could allow ad blocking filter list maintainers for the Adblock Plus, AdBlock, and uBlocker browser extensions to create filters that inject remote scripts into web sites. So don't forget to add the exploit to the blocked list?
Pretty roundabout (more than usual for one of these "exploits"), but possibly worth noting.

Yeah, I just wish I could put one on my iPad. I get reminded of all the ads out there when I'm trying to find news items using it.

All I have on my iPad is wireless, and everythign goes through my Raspberry Pi DNS servers. No ads. 
My wife has even mentioned it - "I get all kinds of ads on my iPad when I'm not at home. What's different?"
I just smile, and wink...

BTW, my Pi's are running an app called "PiHole".

My only complaint about the Pi's is that they used USB power connectors, which are notoriously easy to accidentallly unplug. It would be much better if they used a barrel plug. Maybe they'll change to that with the Pi 4.
Oh yeah, one other thing - get a 16-32gb USB 3.n thumb drive to boot from. SD cards are really easy to corrupt, and it takes longer to boot from them than from a USB thumb drive.

ever since you mentioned this about a month or so ago. At least the last time that I actually saw it. I have moved all my machines to a custom host file. IT just works wonderfully. and the ad block checking software on websites doesn't even notice this half the time so I can browse everything. Even works in linux at least the flavor I am running on one machine at the moment.
Thank you

Facebook’s leaders seriously discussed selling access to user data — and privacy was an afterthought. With great power comes great abuse of power?

What is a surprise is that despite all, he is still doing what he wants when he wants with noone (beyond CP users) seriosuly asking for responsibilities.

He is probably fairly safe with their terms of service agreement, such as it is. However, that doesn't mean we have to put up with it. I bagged the place several years ago.

Whoa, whoa! Lookie here! A company shares information with its partners but doesn't share it with its competitors!
Yeah. OK.
We all know that fb is a piece of sh1t, but bullsh1t like that only increases the credibility of fb and decreases the credibility of the complaints against it.

Guido van Rossum talked about useful type-annotation features in TypeScript, which have inspired similar features in Python. So... type-checking is useful after all? (Wow, live and learn!)

Did they even try googling this, or searching for videos on youtube?

Since I'm not entirely sure what your comment is whining about:
1) Phys.org is a regurgitater of press releases from university PR depts. The latter generally just copy figures from the papers they're blathering about because they don't come close to understanding them well enough (or at all) to select anything appropriate. PR regurgitators have similar levels of institutional ignorance, but less ability to talk to the authors to try and get any additional details so we get an ugly graphic intended to communicate data to others scientists not a pretty picture.
2) No, they're not the first people to run any BH merger sims, what they're trying to do is to create a much larger library of mergers (varying in input parameters) because the way Ligo/Virgo figure out what they've detected is to compare the signal their instruments record against existing simulations to see what is the closest match.

I could be wrong, but I think the post you are replying to was a sarcastic joke.

Maybe. I tried thumping my Sarcometer 3000 a few times but the needle refuses to move.
