I've not worked through a large book of problems like this before. At risk of sounding silly, are there solutions to the sample problems? I've given a few a go but can't find the answers anywhere to check my work.

> Even 6 K is enough to hold your secret codes, your credit cards numbers, your driver license, other wallet contents, and even some electronic cash.

What was electronic cash referring to in 1998?

Based on the main demographic that normally jumps to Firefox, it would at least be a good idea for them to make the features opt in rather than opt out. Most of this stuff is on by default.

I'm curious about what you think AI would do for those features? I've never had issues with ads after just installing stock uBlock Origin, and local translation is already available and works great for me across the web. I'm not sure what AI would do for tab grouping. Are you envisioning having 100+ tabs and then telling an AI assistant to sort it all out for you?

Yeah it would be nice to break away from the google ecosystem and install GrapheneOS on whatever device I like-

GrapheneOS has official production support for the following devices:

    Pixel 9a (tegu)
    Pixel 9 Pro Fold (comet)
    Pixel 9 Pro XL (komodo)
    Pixel 9 Pro (caiman)
    Pixel 9 (tokay)
    Pixel 8a (akita)
    Pixel 8 Pro (husky)
    Pixel 8 (shiba)
    Pixel Fold (felix)
    Pixel Tablet (tangorpro)
    Pixel 7a (lynx)
    Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah)
    Pixel 7 (panther)
    Pixel 6a (bluejay)
    Pixel 6 Pro (raven)
    Pixel 6 (oriole)

Techy people enjoy stats and metrics you can review. It's fun to pull up my sleep data and compare averages between last 7 days/31 days/12 months. It's interesting to see my heart rate at different points during exercise or other activities. Sometimes I can recall what I was doing on a particular day just looking at the amount of steps.

I'd like a manual "sync now" option. Sometimes I put stuff in google drive using windows explorer and it's not immediately obvious if it is syncing, why it is or isn't, or what I need to do to make it.

A lot of consent banner implementations have a clear accept all and then an intentionally obtuse alternative where you have to manually untick every "partner" you don't want to give data to. Presumably this is more profitable, as a lot of people will just click accept all instead of wasting their time.

A lot of people in the thread are speculating that this approach is illegal, but it seems to have widespread use across the web. Why doesn't DataGrail do this? Was it something requested by advertisers/management that your team pushed back on?

Have you got a source for the national flags claim? I'm not sure that is a feature on Reddit. Most subreddits have custom flairs and some will let you choose a flair for your country, but afaik Reddit mods can't autodetect a poster's country of origin.

An easily searchable platform with curated high quality guides would be a good place to start when trying to do anything. Guides aren't something I'd want to stumble on, like YC posts, but something I would be seeking out. Probably a top feature would be a robust tagging system/search engine rather than the social Reddit elements like karma, hot page, trending subs, etc. Would be cool!

Interesting read about the topic: https://www.oed.com/discover/a-brief-history-of-singular-the...

I've mostly seen the problem manifest when information is spread across a multitude of spreadsheets all stored in different places. The people involved don't know which spreadsheets contain what information and which are supposed to. Sometimes they end up having conflicting data purely because they don't realise that someone else thinks the primary source is spreadsheet A while they're only making changes to spreadsheet B.

Any flaws with Excel haven't been due to the actual program or data, but just how the files are managed within projects. Labyrinthian sharepoints, files being forgotten about on network storage, etc.

Yes. The paper explains the basic model as so:

"We consider the basic model with IID rewards, called stochastic bandits. An algorithm has K possible actions to choose from, a.k.a. arms, and there are T rounds, for some known K and T . In each round, the algorithm chooses an arm and collects a reward for this arm. The algorithm’s goal is to maximize its total reward over the T rounds."

What is the UI from in the twitter screenshot? I'd like to read the positions of the Supporting/Undecided countries.
