I think that her incorrect diagnosis will lead us

This method is used to count the number that the function hit by this counting method. This can be used inside a loop to check how many times a particular value has been executed.
In my family, we’re gathering at my mother’s house. Turkey on the porch doesn’t seem very plausible, as temperatures dip into the 40s. So the most logical plan is that each of my sisters and their families will occupy a different room — one group in the dining room, one in the living room, one at the kitchen island. Or… maybe not. We may end up just doing a Zoom meal and bringing the risk to zero. The jury is still out.
Belief in conspiracy is a raging fire that has done real damage and poses real danger to our planet and species, from epidemics kicked off by vaccine denial to genocides kicked off by racist conspiracies to planetary meltdown caused by denial-inspired climate inaction. Our world is on fire, and so we have to put the fires out — to figure out how to help people see the truth of the world through the conspiracies they’ve been confused by.
If it’s trauma and not contagion — material conditions and not ideology — that is making the difference today and enabling a rise of repulsive misinformation in the face of easily observed facts, that doesn’t mean our computer networks are blameless. They’re still doing the heavy work of locating vulnerable people and guiding them through a series of ever-more-extreme ideas and communities.

Actually, when our Ego is exchanged for vulnerability, we can become more present in the relationship. And yeah, being more present means being more aware that issues will arise. But, when we toss out our Ego and trade it in for taking an authentic chance at getting to know the other person underneath the social masks, and away from the social pressures, that’s where you’ll find solutions.
The console object is very much useful for the developers to debug the code. We as developers often use only the log function. Let’s start using the console object to its fullest potential so that it’s easier to debug and to view the browser logs vividly. I hope this article was helpful.
But firefighting is reactive. We need fire prevention. We need to strike at the traumatic material conditions that make people vulnerable to the contagion of conspiracy. Here, too, tech has a role to play.
We’re all looking for guidance on how to handle this moment. Do we gather? Do we mask? How do we give thanks — for each other, for life, for the Turducken — as the Covid-19 numbers skyrocket?
On the Road is a tale of two Americans who are fed up with their lives, and decide to embark on a road trip across Northern America. It’s based on the real travels of the author himself and the experiences he had. It was one of the first novels of its kind, featuring openly the use of drugs and alcohol dependency.The fall work surge hit my own inbox right after Labor Day, when it seemed the whole country decided they needed to actually do some work this year, releasing a flurry of goals and Zooms and pivot, pivot, pivot.

You can also add Styling to the console logs in order to make logs look fancy. It is very simple. You just need to add CSS styling as a second parameter to the log() function, while starting the first parameter with %c. The styles will replace the %c in the logs.There’s a critical piece missing from the debate, though. All these solutions assume that tech companies are a fixture, that their dominance over the internet is a permanent fact. Proposals to replace Big Tech with a more diffused, pluralistic internet are nowhere to be found. Worse: The “solutions” on the table today require Big Tech to stay big because only the very largest companies can afford to implement the systems these laws demand.
There’s no shortage of proposals to address this. From the EU’s Terrorist Content Regulation, which requires platforms to police and remove “extremist” content, to the U.S. proposals to force tech companies to spy on their users and hold them liable for their users’ bad speech, there’s a lot of energy to force tech companies to solve the problems they created.
These methods group() and groupEnd() allows us to group contents in a separate block, which will be indented. Just like the time() and the timeEnd() they also accept a label, of the same value. You can expand and collapse the group.
The latest version of this critique comes in the form of “surveillance capitalism,” a term coined by business professor Shoshana Zuboff in her long and influential 2019 book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power. Zuboff argues that “surveillance capitalism” is a unique creature of the tech industry and that it is unlike any other abusive commercial practice in history, one that is “constituted by unexpected and often illegible mechanisms of extraction, commodification, and control that effectively exile persons from their own behavior while producing new markets of behavioral prediction and modification. Surveillance capitalism challenges democratic norms and departs in key ways from the centuries-long evolution of market capitalism.” It is a new and deadly form of capitalism, a “rogue capitalism,” and our lack of understanding of its unique capabilities and dangers represents an existential, species-wide threat. She’s right that capitalism today threatens our species, and she’s right that tech poses unique challenges to our species and civilization, but she’s really wrong about how tech is different and why it threatens our species.
Either way, one thing is for sure: It’s time for Thanksgiving Week. Just as Election Day became Election Week in America, Thanksgiving Week is in order. This year has given us no other choice. So let’s make the most of this seasonal pause: We all need a week of rest, a week of gratitude, and a week to recover from the fall work surge, the trauma of the election, and the nightmare of this interminable pandemic.
Every Zoom meeting has ended the same way this week: “So, what are your Thanksgiving plans?” In years past, a question like this at the end of a business chat might’ve seemed like a polite platitude, a simple way to show a colleague you’re aware they have a life outside of the office. This year, though, the question is weighed down with real urgency: “What are you doing? I seriously need to know.”
Digital rights activism is more than 30 years old now. The Electronic Frontier Foundation turned 30 this year; the Free Software Foundation launched in 1985. For most of the history of the movement, the most prominent criticism leveled against it was that it was irrelevant: The real activist causes were real-world causes (think of the skepticism when Finland declared broadband a human right in 2010), and real-world activism was shoe-leather activism (think of Malcolm Gladwell’s contempt for “clicktivism”). But as tech has grown more central to our daily lives, these accusations of irrelevance have given way first to accusations of insincerity (“You only care about tech because you’re shilling for tech companies”) to accusations of negligence (“Why didn’t you foresee that tech could be such a destructive force?”). But digital rights activism is right where it’s always been: looking out for the humans in a world where tech is inexorably taking over.
Figuring out what we want our tech to look like is crucial if we’re going to get out of this mess. Today, we’re at a crossroads where we’re trying to figure out if we want to fix the Big Tech companies that dominate our internet or if we want to fix the internet itself by unshackling it from Big Tech’s stranglehold. We can’t do both, so we have to choose.
