Dear Mozilla: stop sending to google a unique ID for my browser on first launch

edit: grammar
This obsession with crypto killed Keybase for many of it's users and honestly this could be a bad news for Signal.
Thinking through the consequences of this type of technology is important, but the narrative of "we can no longer allow technology X to go unregulated" as a vague catch-all for every negative externality is unhelpful. Regulate how? What concrete solutions is the author suggesting?
I’m having trouble telling if this is satire, but I think it’s not.

The arguments are fairly weak, notably:

1. Using a static site generator, you have to keep track of the source code and the build (which the author suggests is more “source code”)

Nope. I could look at the dozen or so static sites sitting on my hard drive — I’ve kept none of the build directories. I simply git push the source and Netlify takes care of managing everything else.

2. > Let's say you want your site to have a specific directory structure, where pages are sorted under various categories. With Jekyll, this is practically impossible

Again, I don’t agree that this is even an issue, but there’s also nothing stopping you from using whatever directory structure you want. I don’t use Jekyll much, but that’s the thing about SSG: you can use the one that’s as simple or as complicated as you’d like!

You could even generate your site with a simple bash script:

for p in in/*.html; do cat common/header.html in/$p common/footer.html > out/$p; done

As you can see there’s very little stopping you from preserving whatever structure you want.

In fact, the author even suggests this! >If you find the previous step too much work, write a shell script that copies the directory and removes the old content for you.

Okay, so if you already have a script that copies content, you basically have a very bad manual SSG that doesn’t keep everything in sync.

I don’t really think any of this is easier than just spending the afternoon figuring out a basic SSG.
> Outrage existed long before internet

I recall the film 'Network' with its "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore" thread.

Among other messages.
YMMV, but I've also found that treating all side projects as potential businesses sort of...takes the intangible quality of magic / fun / joy out of those side projects for me.

For OP: it's OK to not want to monetize everything you do, even if those things might potentially be monetizable (which most things are, as the parent comment mentioned) - past some point, the incremental value of really, truly enjoying more of your time can have way more value than even fairly large amounts of additional money.

Where that point lies exactly is a matter of debate, and probably depends greatly on how you place value on intangible experiences vs. tangible things. From experience, many people in the tech industry are well past this point but don't realize it, largely because we have a cognitive bias towards comparison with those around us. (Also, the above framing suggests strongly that we can learn to change where that point is for ourselves.)
Let’s not forget that many of the politicians are part of the rich as well.
Get a job in government, or government contracting.
I am extremely excited for this feature, especially now that I live in "absolutely no allocations" embedded land.

But also, beyond that, this is pretty much the last major feature that I've wanted in Rust. I've got some long-form writing in my head about this, but previously, I would have cast it as two or 2.5 features:

* const generics

* GATs

* specialization (this is the half)

However, when I've started to think about explaining these sorts of things, GATs (and to some degree specialization) feel much more to me like a removal of a restriction on combinations of features, more than "new features" strictly speaking. I think the line between these two perspectives is fascinating. On some level, you can even cast const generics in this way too: what it's really doing is making arrays a first-class feature of the language. I think that's a bigger stretch than GATs though, so I am not fully sure I'd make that argument. (The minimum feature we're stabilizing now basically does only this, but we do plan on going farther, so it feels true on a technicality now but not later.)

Regardless, it's been nice to see how much we've slowed down in adding major things. November of 2019 was the last time we had a feature this large hit stable. 18 months between huge things feels much more like the cadence of more mature languages that have been around a lot longer than Rust.

There is still a lot of work to do removing restrictions on existing features, especially const fn and const generics. But Rust is really starting to feel "done" to me, personally.
For Russian users this is actually beneficial. You see, they have their own "Google" that serves that market much better: Yandex. The first thing I did when I bought my mom a smartphone there is I installed Yandex launcher and a bunch of other Yandex stuff - out of the box it's unusable to anyone beyond age 30. Not only is their search is better when searching the Russian-speaking segment of the internet, their local news, maps, etc are all better as well. Their maps, for instance, tell you where the speed cameras are on the highway so you could avoid a ticket. They even have their own voice assistant, and it works OK too.
Looking in the sources? Fixing a bug?
Things like cache, paging, virtual memory, and cpu pipelines are not important to "CS" or most software development. Based on your list of priorities, I'd guess you have much to learn about what goes into good software engineering. It's not a bunch of facts about CPU's.

DMCA takedown notice by an attorney. Could lead to all host's clients being excluded from US availability...in theory. Alternatively, namme & shame using git commit logs or similar to verify seniority of your code.
Can I just pay for Terabytes of storage? No offense, but I like the job I have.
When I read "because USA is democratic", "large infrastructure" (yeah, that does not function anymore) I wanted to weep.
This article seems to be very, very biased.
Yes, perhaps you do need Chinese high speed rail,
it does not mean that you do not need medium speed city/county light rails like NY has. If you look at congested I-5, I-95 or any other major interstate you'll see why - hundreds of cars moving 20m/h, burning enormous of fuel, producing tons of co2. Even riding a bus, a diesel thingy without regenerative braking gives you fuel efficiency ~100 mpg per person (if it has only 15 passengers). To have parity with a car (25 mpg) it is enough to have _only 4_ passenger on board.
If you make a good working electric light rail system, it will be way, way more efficient than cars.

Airplanes can be efficient in fact, but in case of full load, but there is a MAJOR problem with planes - it is hassle, intrusive TSA and generally horrible service.

Also oil prices keep going up...
More functionality is exposed via the dropdown menu that was showed in the demo. Not a whole lot however - extras include: time duration, time unit and a couple of fundamental statistical operations (average, frequency, aggregate for time unit vs cumulative).

I should mention that the HTTP server that receives all the client data (scripted in node.js) has also been built.
The only reason my situation is the same as yours is because the plans are a tad too pricey for me. If I could indeed afford over 20-30GB of space, I would include all my family photos and music to be uploaded to Dropbox as well. The latter could perhaps be rectified by a (hopefully upcoming) cloud music service (with a decent music catalogue), but the photos are really a problem.

That is, it's almost Saturday for me in GMT+9.

And interestingly it's starting from 00:01, not from 00:00.
Thank you. Did not know about it before. Finally something open is going to replace Facebook & Co. Good ui/ux is also guaranteed as this will be the new space for browsers to compete on.
Perfect answer.

"You can take a horse to water, But cannot make it drink"
Haha exactly what I thought when I read this.

Also with lines like this:

>We hear this unhappiness expressed in phrases like "no sense of place" and "the loss of community."

People are ALWAYS complaining about something, and usually talking about how much better something or other was (while quietly forgetting/ignoring all the problems with the previous state).

Personally I think it's a pretty rad time to be alive. Something for everyone.
I was really hoping for something like "It would take N years to crack your password ... but now I know it, so why bother?"
eventually someone picked up on customer service that didn't care and just verified it without asking any questions.. others though wouldn't do it.
He's being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. In case anyone had doubts who had the moral high ground (Manning or the US Government) this proves it was not the US Government.

In general, prisoners should not be treated inhumanely. It's well known that many in prison are beaten and/or raped by other inmates (which itself is inexcusable) but this mistreatment is directly at the hands of those in charge of the prison. Manning has not been violent or dangerous and so there is no need for him to be treated this way.
And Guantanamo didn't?
Doesn't do anything but ask you to install Chrome beta (did that twice). A little too beta for my taste!
The 1% of 1% is so damaging..it can effect lives, and those around those lives. The problem, to me, is the "blue line" of protectionist policies of departments, which, camera's would never be an issue if this was not the case.
It also told me it would take "About 3 quadrillion years" to crack my password of 11111111111111111111111111.

Yeah.
People keep thinking that Digg lost to Reddit because of v4. This is flat out wrong. Reddit had passed Digg in most metrics months before the redesign. It had been steadily gaining users for years, whereas Digg had been steadily losing them since at least January.

Personally, I think the subreddit system did its job. It was put in place so the site could scale without losing its community feel, and I think it's done that admirably. I've long since removed most of the major subreddits from my frontpage, added a bunch that interest me, and now it feels like a fairly small site that's perfectly tailored to my interests and sensibilities.
Similar to .com? Not really.

.co is the TLD for Columbia.

I think designers will play a bigger role in founding teams in the future as products need to be designed for various platforms such as touch tablets, browser based web apps, mobile devices, etc. Each will require a unique set of interactions and design elements.
"Make money off it" is rather vague. If you're just talking about reselling the software, the GPL3 might work. It's legal to copy GPL software and resell it, but since you have to provide the source (and GPL3 removes the Tivoisation loopholes), as a practical matter it doesn't happen.
I've found the ratio to be much higher in VC than other professions. I can email CEOs cold and they usually respond... VCs with warm intros are 50-50...
I wish the best for Groupon as watching Facebook snip at Google and vice versa doesn't sound very fun.
Same here... I've been using this screen name for over 10 years.

And the strangest thing is that I feel like I keep seeing you everywhere on the internet. I know I see you on reddit all the time, and I'm vaguely positive I knew you on a Gamefaqs board years ago... TO?
I find it amusing that sexual content is so horrific that it must be categorized and filtered. I don't see a TLD intended to 'classify-out' all of the violent racist hate websites.

It's a matter of time before corrupt MPAA style bureaucracies start to force the labeling and filtering of every piece of content out there. And god help you if your website has more than one type of content on it.
What complexity? The client pretty much only has one button, "send BitCoins".
No it won't because there is already so much adult content on other TLDs that won't go away.
On the one hand, the spirit of inquiry and promotion of learning that higher education (should be) driven by is an excellent thing for both "productivity" and society as a whole.

On the other hand, the idea that colleges exist merely as a credentialing system, and the intellectual complacency that pervades much of academia since it can extract such high rents as a gatekeeper, result in a vast misallocation of resources.

Untangling the two (education vs. credentialing) will take time, but with the enormous debt-loads of graduating students these days, I find it hard to believe that today's college students will accept sending their own children through an educational/credentialing system that resembles today's status quo.
This will be much ado about nothing.

Despite being an industry-sponsored TLD, the industry does not want it. It doesn't help in blocking content for young children. It doesn't help adults find content they want. It accomplishes nothing but take money.

I expect it will have far less than 1/10 the registrations .co had in the first year.

AFAICT r7rs will have two parts; a small core one (based on r5rs, with the additional features mentioned in the post), and a larger one building up something like a standard library (possibly including r6rs).
Thanks - I think it's important to note that the citations you mentioned don't treat the discharge as "Pollution", per se, but instead discuss what the impacts of the discharge is. That is, there's no limit on what you can discharge (as there is with pollution), but instead a limitation on the damage you can do to the local ecosystem.

I'd be interested in knowing if any country has adapted statutes with regards to treating thermal discharges as pollutants that need to be regulated. I'm guessing, based mostly on the pre-existing scale of heat loading from the sun, that thermal discharges are not considered to be a pollutant by any country, and you are free to discharge as much of it as you want, just as long as you don't damage the fish/shellfish/wildlife in the area. This also suggests if there are no fish/shellfish/wildlife in your discharge area, you are free to discharge as much as you want.
Is the Laptop also available with a AMD ryzen CPU?
You can't scale without delegating. And in a crunch is not the time to work out procedures. You do that between. Yeah, it's not a bad model, and you can stretch it pretty far until it breaks.
They could make different models and operating systems for every niche I guess, but people who need lots of ports and a UNIX-like experience on a laptop are pretty far out in the tail of the distribution I think.

I dunno. I've never owned a macbook because Linux has been good enough for most of the time I've seriously been using computers for work stuff. Even if you aren't a Linux enthusiast, the time to switch for developers was more than a decade ago, IMO.
I'm glad to hear it! Feel free to open an issue if you'd like anything added
But also no hyperlinks, no mixing text with images, and no unicode support in the menus.
Yes, it's a long-lived TCP connection. It's not mandatory but the whole point of the protocol is to make one connection and send/receive all your assets over it instead of making more connections (which take time to setup and slow down page rendering).
I am of the opinion that user tracking should be illegal unless the user opts-in to it. And sites should not be able to require an opt-in in order to provide a service or site.
How does Prime game S&H?
Can Cortex deploy to other cloud providers besides AWS?
I think that Google very plausibly has statistical tools already built that will help quite a bit in this arena. Combatting fake news is essentially the same problem as combatting SEO.
She can just return those items to Amazon for her money back... as well as the ones she's been refunded for (as per the article, she's refunded via PayPal)
Economics continues to try and reinvent itself. I’m curious how the example of an RCT in deworming schedules for children counts as Economics. This seems like a field in its death throes. Nobels for ‘credibility research’?
I really believe that "end-to-end AI platforms" of the future should be built on top of open-source tools like these two. I cannot wait to see when other parts of AI platforms will be integrated with the existing ones: model performance monitoring, data catalogs and etc..

While I appreciate the emotional sentiment here, it doesn't absolve Apple of their duty to ship a reliable product. To care about bugs. For what else are we spending upwards $1,000 on a phone for if the manufacturer can't provide us with a reliable operating system for it?
There are good faith arguments for applying smarter sorting / filtering to the stream.

For example, if someone follows two people and one person simply tweets at 1000x the rate of the other, I would argue that it would be better UX if the rare tweet from the other person gets more weight.

Another thing Twitter does is show you popular things that have been liked by the people you follow. It might be way too much to show you every thing that every person you follow has liked every time. But it can introduce some interesting content to your stream to see such second-tier content.

I don't see how promoted content plays into it since you can interpolate it anywhere.
I love the typed API svd2rust generates as well. Generally you can just let autocomplete do the driving, the only things needing a brain are the abbreviated register names manufacturers use and the order of operations needed.

I wonder if Rust would be better suited for Arduino/embedded beginners. Rust is quite painless when you just want to glue a few crates together. I'm sure everyone would rather debug a compiler error than some invalid memory issue happening on the microcontroller.
Because only the first part of the sentence looks bad.
Why is this down voted? I've been locked out of my google account because of misbehaving AI and I seriously regret not downloading my photos and emails.
The local government can lose money on this deal even if it leads to more jobs.
I believe that is also tricky. In most companies, there are all kinds of incomplete and unreliable financial indicators mid-quarter. It's only when the accountants add it up and the end of the quarter and the auditors check it is it suitable for release to the public.

The incomplete information is considered "material non public info" which stops the execs buying shares, but it isn't considered reliable enough info for the company to publish without risk of execs being sent to prison for publishing false info.
Buying back shares knowing they're massively overvalued would be destroying shareholder value. Buying them back when you believe they're undervalued creates shareholder value.

If that's all true, selling shares when the market is over-valuing them seems like it's creating shareholder value to me. (It's unethical perhaps; perhaps it's illegal. Either of those would be reasons to think it's harming shareholder value, but the sale itself is creating value.)
The author mentions in passing "Virtual Synchrony" . It turns out it is used in some highly critical systems via ISIS/VSync framework from Cornel:

The "CORBA Fault Tolerant Objects standard" is based on the virtual synchrony model. Virtual synchrony was also used in developing the New York Stock Exchange fault-tolerance architecture, the French Air Traffic Control System, the US Navy AEGIS system, IBM's Business Process replication architecture for WebSphere and Microsoft's Windows Clustering architecture for Windows Longhorn enterprise servers.

Exactly the reason why Hertz did not proceed to do the same when their price irrationally rose during the pandemic. They wanted to do it, but the SEC sent them a letter asking for clarification, and that was enough for Hertz to get the message.
Don't forget about the Intel assembly & packaging plant in Costa Rica! Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Rica#Economy

To quote Wiki: "An Intel microprocessor facility in Costa Rica that was, at one time, responsible for 20% of Costa Rican exports and 5% of the country's GDP."

As I understand, for a long time, assembly and packaging was labour-intensive, so ICs were packaged in places with low labour costs. However, with the advances made in automation, I wonder if this still holds true. Maybe assembly and packaging will move back to high income countries in the next generation.
These are all good points and I agree for the most part.

However, I have found that a lot of the benefits of virtualization are often lost because of the flexibility of having a full blown Linux OS. People stick too many services on the host and/or don't know how to properly allocate resources.

I think there is something to a simplified model where you no longer have access to any host environment and can only "fill slots". In practical terms, it makes it easier to implement features, like firmware-style upgrade and rollback of the host, for the masses.

Yes, you can do this with a full blown Linux OS on the host but it requires an operational discipline that most environments don't seem to possess.

I'm not sure I buy the whole "run multiple containers on top of an EC2 instance" thing though. I understand why they're using LXC vs traditional virtualization but it seems to me like it's a case of solving all problems by adding another layer of abstraction.

There are too many different kinds of virtualization so we'll just add another layer of virtualization.
I am not sure if this is really an apple to apple comparison because from the article it seems that the data schema in Cassandra was carefully designed while it's not obvious whether it's the case for the MongoDB one("it was supposed to be a temporary one").

MongoDB has many many limitations. Data schemas have to be carefully designed taking them into consideration, otherwise they are going to have a huge impact to the performance.
The tech industry ruined SF in the late 90s. Live/work spaces and the attraction of the Mission to .commers ruined SF. I don't think anything happening now is making it any worse.
Actually wordpress core has very few vulnerabilities. Most of them are in custom plugins.
Wait, haven't they proven that you can make magnetic monopoles and that wormholes are still a possibility?
Median HHI in San Francisco is only 37% above the national median, so you're not getting away with charging 4x as much for bread (though your rent may easily be that much higher).

Also, a $100k oven and "highly-educated" bakers sounds more industrial than artisan... Manhattan has far more and far richer rich people than San Francisco, and I can't think of anyone there who would say that the best bread in the city is at some high-end place that can afford expensive equipment. And New Yorkers love to overpay for things!
