Castle Bravo was a ground burst and produced a crater about 2Km across. The debris from the crater ended up as fallout.

Tsar Bomba was detonated at an altitude of 4Km, the shock wave prevented the fireball from reaching the ground and producing a crater, so it produced less fallout.

They used to offer that functionality but removed it years ago.

I've been using this userscript since then. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/1682-google-hit-hider-by-d...

It might be called Google Hit Hider by Domain but the author has expanded it to cover most major search engines over the years.

The Firefox version has the ability to block third party scripts masked as first party ones through the use of CNAMEs. Chrome doesn't expose APIs to let extensions do it.

I've been using this userscript since Google dropped the ability to block results years ago. It works across a bunch of search engines.

Ignore it. They got the password from a data breach somewhere.

Change the password on any other site that you use that password for.

Using a password manager makes it much easier to use unique, complex passwords for each site you have a login for.

Their submission got flagged so it vanished from the new links page. They think HN is doing it automatically for certain sites.

I've had problems with pretty much every in-ear bud I've had up until I bought the AirPod Pro's. Not had a single time when I've felt they have even started to come loose.

I wear them with the stalks pointing forward at around 45 degrees.

Many of the streamers I watch on Twitch use Streamlabs for multiple things including donations. Can't vouch for them personally but they are certainly the most common on that platform.

uBlock Origin blocked 15 items on the page for me (20%) when I bypassed their geoblock. Not great, not terrible.

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary in what was filtered so it's probably just knee-jerk.

ZFC was created to avoid the paradoxes inherent in Cantor's set theory work.

I've been using a userscript called Googles Hit Hider by Domain from Jefferson Scher that allows you to blacklist sites since Google removed the ability to do it natively (it works with all the major search engines, not just Google as the name implies) : http://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/google-hit-hider/

I currently have 135k network rules active in uBlock Origin without having all of their lists active. Your 150k proposal is nowhere near enough.

Nokinside linked a couple upthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21427367

The first one works for me.

A new who's hiring has in fact just been posted and will probably be on the front page shortly. You might want to post to it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21419536

DNA isn't mentioned anywhere in the linked story. It only says blue dye and there is nothing new or technological about that.

It's a political story and is thus likely to be flagged as off-topic by a large number of people.

Unless a political story has a strong tech slant, expect it to disappear off the front page quickly no mater how many upvotes it gets.

You're holding it wrong. (Sorry)

My thoughts exactly. A bot doesn't care if it takes 2 seconds to fade the images out and in for another challenge round, but a human viewing it perceives it as a frustrating delay.

I've become accustomed to just closing any page that presents me with a v2 reCAPTCHA.

I elected them when I turned on EasyList in my ad blocker. I certainly never elected Mr. Kratky-Katz to balance publisher monetization for me.

You can turn off loading images by default on the web-based Gmail client under the general tab in settings.

It's not possible to disable loading of images on the iOS Gmail client.

I use a user script called Google Hit Hider by Domain that adds this functionality to pretty much every major search engine. Can't imagine searching without it these days.

I followed the link logged in to Google, in a private window and through a VPN in another browser. The results were the same and in the same order in each case: Firefox addon, uBlock.org, Gorhill's Github, Wikipedia, MS store, Reddit, Twitter and the Opera addon. The Chrome addon doesn't show up until the top of the 3rd results page.

The suggested searches were for adding every major browser apart from Chrome to the search.

If you add Chrome to the query then uBlock for Chrome appears as the top result.

Seems kind of a strange failing that Google search needs such a specific query to get a result for a chrome addon that their own store page claims has over 10 million installs.

I use a Firefox addon called Session Boss. It might be what you're looking for.

Vega is pointed out because in relation to the galaxy in the picture it allows the author to locate where Polaris should be (above the frame). Polaris being above the frame is a problem because it is never above the horizon where the photograph is supposed to have been taken.

Is there something special that needs to be done to configure it? Every time I go over 50,000 I get a red warning at the bottom of the AdGuard filters setting screen telling me that I'm over the limit.

The problem is with the limit on the number of filters. On desktop Firefox I have ~120,000 network filters active on uBlock. Safari on iOS limits the number of filters an adblocker can have active to 50,000 and Google are proposing limiting it to 30,000 on Chrome.

You're probably correct, but I also have know idea how much of a difference it would make.

One other advantage would also be the lack of atmospheric scattering, but they have made huge strides with adaptive optics so it might not be worth the extra cost of getting all the components to the Moon and assembling them.

You would also be limited by how close you could point the telescope to the Sun when it's in the sky. I think Hubble isn't allowed to point closer than 50 degrees for fear of damaging its optics/sensors.

The far side of the moon isn't dark. It has the same day/night cycle that causes the phases of the moon visible from Earth.

On the other hand, it is shielded from radio emissions from Earth and might be a good place for a radio-telescope.

AdGuard Pro with facebook.com and facebook.net added to its DNS blacklist.

When the app attempts to connect to graph.facebook.com it gets NXDOMAIN.
