As an extension-developer, I'm wondering about the Aurora strategy. They move forward with nightly and beta, but I did not found anything about what Aurora would do to the user profile, or what would happen to extensions in Aurora.

I guess what I'm trying to say... if they want more people join those channels, fix extensions, or at least push some emails through the mailing list with infos about that.

There is an extension to install extension independent of their version-range, but maybe that extension should be build into Aurora.

A fast release cycle is nice, but unless mozilla takes care of the extensions, it'll fail.
You suffer from a common delusion here: everybody wants to program.

I attend a uni where probably 75% of students are in either science or engineering, yet I still come across a lot of people who don't like coding (example: my current roommate). Just because it's becoming easier for people to learn to program doesn't mean that people want to learn it.
I just switch to Pinboard from delicious. I really like that I'll be able to search and archive the content of my bookmarks. Here's what it took for me to get started:

- Exported bookmarks from delicious

- Signed up and paid $25 for Pinboard (their non-archiving service is cheaper)

- Imported in to Pinboard (took a few hours because they are experiencing a lot of traffic right now)

- Removed my browser plugins for delicious and replaced with Pinboard bookmarklets
This varies a lot by location. I guess you're in India, where there are lots of dangerous snakes. It sounds like SM is in North America, where there are only four poisonous snakes — cottonmouth, rattlesnake, copperhead, and coral snake — and they're all pretty easy to identify, and for the most part, not very aggressive. The vast majority of individual snakes in most parts of the US aren't one of these types, especially in urban areas.
It's posts like yours that make me wish HN would let me save/tag comments. This is applicable in so many different areas of engineering.
I work on the Mono team and we do nothing of the sort. Most of us don't even have a windows machine.
Yes, but what if he used "thIs 1s n0t my p4ssw0rd". Wouldn't that cause the cracking program to burst into flames?

Somebody else can't, short of hacking into their account. In Canada, you are forced to do double opt-in newsletter sign ups.
That worked perfectly! I am hardly able to express how grateful I am :-)

It even worked more smoothly than the Google Toolbar's own importer, which complains about dupes (wrongly), and prefixes all the labels with "Tag:" for no good reason.

Will blog this ASAP.
> The author's whole premise is that dropping out is universally bad and should be discouraged, and that staying in school is universally good.

No, the entire premise is in the title: Don't encourage kids to drop out. If they want to do it, they'll do it, and good on them for it. The last paragraph even argues against "extreme points of view" which would suggest that interpreting the article as "they say drop out, don't do it" is totally wrong.

> Where might we be if some of the 'usual celebrity dropouts' hadn't dropped out?

Worthless speculation. We'd be somewhere different, yes, but no less interesting and no worse off.
Amen to this. I've also been suffering from OSX compilation problems in the last few days and I have years of experience compiling packages from scratch. It's so bad that I'm about to switch back to using Ubuntu as a primary development machine. And macports has never worked properly for me on Snow Leopard. Fink is great for tools and libraries but the large source-based packages I'm interested in always break for some reason. I have failed to compile emacs, xemacs, Python, SDL, Irrlicht, gambit-c, Panda, Ogre and a whole bunch of others I've probably forgotten by now on OSX. All of them worked flawlessly on Ubuntu - ./configure && make && make install. Done. Compiling and installing on OSX - ugh. Yes xcode is lovely if you know how to drive it and are writing Objective C. For the rest of us, it's a wilderness.
Copyright is so far away from the original ideals, that I honestly say "fuck em". If 28 years is not enough to make your money from your creative works, then too bad.
Fair, but I would not call that "ecosystem".
I see a lot of people complaining about not getting what expect out of free Google services. How about choosing a non free provider of those services that has support?
Fundamentally I’d suggest you share this pain with your team, including any product managers and management/business development teams.

Change your thinking and approach.

You can do this by culturally re-prioritising the development teams workload to fundamentally treat the root causes for any outage and regular alerts as urgent to be resolved.

The work needed to fix the root cause gets to kick something out of the current sprint to be attended to immediately.

The dev/product team should fundamentally agree the alerts should be rare, not regular.

Instead of just tweaking alarms, and feeling beaten down at the regular issues, change your thinking to tackle the root causes and fix them, just like any bug or new feature.

You’ll become excited that you’re solving the issues.

By having this shared understanding in the dev team to always be resolving root cause of outages, including architecture restructures and rebuilds of components that take weeks or months, you’ll reduce these incidents dramatically.

Finally, by doing this, you share the pain with everyone else - product managers and business leads don’t get their features or other improvements as fast, they now see what you deal with, they’ll ask why things appear to have slowed down, and you can now say you need more resources.
The best description of this I've seen is "chain of custody": Like with evidence in criminal proceedings. Docker and Git's use of content-addressable hashes helps in this regard, but there is still considerable work to be done when tracking third-party dependencies.
> a privacy case in not letting any and every extension have access to all requests.

People keep making that argument, and I keep having to correct this.

Their webRequest is not blocking but it does support _observing_ all network requests[1], just as is planned with ManifestV3.

The privacy argument can't and shouldn't be used to justify the removal of the blocking capability from the webRequest API.

You probably have a term "Effective interest rate" which takes into account various fees and interest rate. It was designed to counter this type of practices by banks where they would offer lower interest rate but higher fees which were less visible to the consumer.
Don't give them ideas!
Also, I haven't seen a lot of political stuff related to Iran on Github.
It is not Tim Cook who is using this as rhetorical cudgel.

It is the Washington Post's rhetoric and the WP's readership, and by proxy HN, that are subjects of that rhetoric.
Previous discussion of the same article from 2 hrs prior that was flag killed (not sure why): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9287287
But he says that's it's the consensus in the business community, who are you to deny that?
> The US was founded on principles of freedom of expression and association. The freedom to associate is also the freedom to not associate, only Tim skips over all that.

So freedom for a business to not associate with anybody who is not white is ok?
Do you mean poorly thought out or just different opinions? If the latter, perhaps you can show why you disagree?
Apparently freedom of association is just dumb now. Thanks HN!
I agree. Sometimes certain articles really bring out the worst in people that use this site.
Right. People will spend 50K on a truck because it's a major part of their livelihood and then the gas will be a big burden. This could help a lot in those cases.
It doesn't have a 7'x4' chrome grill. That's a major change from other pickups.
I'm glad this happened; I've been waiting for more than 5 years for this.
Durability? reaction to other biological substances? I'm thinking of artificial heart valves and the necessity of preventing anything sticking for upwards of 50 years of continuous use.
Their 'submarket' is Enterprise.

Their s-1 stated that they have 48% of all Fortune 500 companies as clients and ~44k paying clients total. No idea the seat count or per company revenue.
Launched for one month, 50k "users" and 250k page views in the first month. Users is in quotes because we only required a username to sign up, so it was pretty close to measuring active unique visitors.

But most importantly we had a really compelling story and go to market strategy in a really big market. Over 50% off the investors we talked to invested, which is absurd, so don't feel like that's the minimum either.
The NYT[1] has some important context missing in the WSJ summary:

> At that price, the company will still be valued at $1.7 billion, but it is well below the $2.4 billion valuation sold to investors in a financing round last summer.

The float looks small though, so there's hope for last round's muppets.

A significant chunk of US airline flights are operated by a company other than the one whose logo is on the airliner. It mostly applies to the smaller regional "feeder" names, like United Express (actually operated by Cape Air, CommutAir, ExpressJet, and a bunch of others), and American Eagle (operated by AVAir, Chaparral Airlines, Command Airways, and more).

I have no idea if Gotham plans to actually operate that way, but I'd be shocked if there were actually a legal problem if they did.
I've taken UberX vehicles that had a logo card taped to the windshield.
Yes, and, just a guess: Were I on Team Zuck, I'd have every competing messaging app installed, just to see what everyone's doing. eg I'm certain everyone touching Instagram also uses Snap.

Further: LAN Manager era Microsoft had a Novell Netware group, Microsoft also continued to use (Windows port) of sendmail while selling Exchange, had an entire Macintosh enthused business group.

TLDR: Of course Zuck has a Signal account.
took over a project that calculates the inbreeding-coefficient[1] on a platform for animal breeders. The product is used by breeding organization of endangered livestock (an Alpaca club in Ireland, a horse breeder in Belgium etc etc). My first reaction was WTF who decided on this technology. It was developed with some university professors focusing in veterinary geneology and so weren't aware that this isn't the right choice. When I asked them they were dead set on using this because apparently in their domain it is considered the go-to language for number-crunching. Idk if this is anecdotal or if there is a pattern but the feeling / takeaway I got was that some older academics would bring these things back because it's what they think is the right tool for the job. It was odd because most younger people I know who develop but don't consider themselves "developers" by trade would almost always resort to Python.

> The "1%" became a slogan around the time of the Occupy movement

This is correct. Since then it's become more of a slogan like "power to the people" than a useful statistic.

In some countries, 1% would include a couple who are both mid level engineers -- that's well off, but not "ultra rich" by any rational standard. The main reason is that the 1% figure often refers to households, rather than single individuals.

It's more a short hand for "ultra rich", rather than an actual measurement of what portion is actually "ultra rich".

This is how pretty much the entire internet learned basic orbital mechanics from KSP.

Years of physics, and yet I had no intuitive understanding of what was going on till I'd sunk about 40 hours into KSP - sure, I couldn't plan a real solar transfer trajectory, but I certainly have a much deeper appreciation for why things are the way they are, why rockets have launch windows and the like. There's a difference between sort of seeing an explanation written down, and realizing why you're time accelerating on the launch pad to get the Mun into the right position...
I agree but i this is still playing the same game, and it's the rules that need changing

There is a system set up which incentivizes your employees to screw over their own company, by taking more risk than they should, frontrunning their own clients, etc. And it necessitates setting up your own internal police (compliance, risk) just to make sure they don't get too out of hand.

There are personal incentives there for the IB people to try to outsmart and get something past risk, or avoid getting caught by compliance, not to try to do what's best for the company or their client
> At least at the Supreme Court level, whether a justice professes textualism, purposivism, intentionalism, or pastafarianism as a method of statutory interpretation is likely to play less of a role in his or her decisions than ideological druthers. None of these approaches or any other is close to fully determinate, giving a good deal of room for a judge's values to play a major role. Moreover, even when a methodology appears to point reasonably clearly towards a result, judges sometimes disregard their methodological commitments in favor of their ideological ones.

http://www.dorfonlaw.org/2016/06/does-textualism-have-bias.h...

Here's Richard Posner on Scalia:

> Does an ordinance that says that “no person may bring a vehicle into the park” apply to an ambulance that enters the park to save a person’s life? For Scalia and Garner, the answer is yes. After all, an ambulance is a vehicle—any dictionary will tell you that. If the authors of the ordinance wanted to make an exception for ambulances, they should have said so. And perverse results are a small price to pay for the objectivity that textual originalism offers (new dictionaries for new texts, old dictionaries for old ones). But Scalia and Garner later retreat in the ambulance case, and their retreat is consistent with a pattern of equivocation exhibited throughout their book.

> One senses a certain defensiveness in Justice Scalia’s advocacy of a textualism so rigid as to make the ambulance driver a lawbreaker. He is one of the most politically conservative Supreme Court justices of the modern era and the intellectual leader of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court. Yet the book claims that his judicial votes are generated by an “objective” interpretive methodology, and that, since it is objective, ideology plays no role. It is true, as Scalia and Garner say, that statutory text is not inherently liberal or inherently conservative; it can be either, depending on who wrote it. Their premise is correct, but their conclusion does not follow: text as such may be politically neutral, but textualism is conservative.

For the record, Amazon has admitted the peeing in bottles story was true: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/04/amazon-admits-it...
Probably true.

The challenge (for me, at least) is discerning bad faith from other, more correctable issues in a conversation.
> we should all mark these individuals and there emails and other info, so they are banned for ever.

This seems a bit over the line. So the elancer has no way to right this wrong? OP should just message the person. If he doesn't fix it then contact the site admins, etc. But hosting code with MIT license as others have already mentioned is permissive. I'm not a big fan of the online witch-hunt when someone messes up. If they learn from it and move on they're still a target and have already been banned forever but what should be an evolving community.
Oh thank you, found this - https://www.brunner-innovation.swiss/product/cls-e-joystick/ which is just about exactly what I was hoping for, and is even allowing interchangeable grips including TMs.

Price levels compare with DD wheel base.
When subdividing a lot costs 50k just for paperwork (well there's more than that, but cmon) and takes months... When all imported building materials are spec'd by one company... When there's no competition from foreign labourers and locals doing coke off their fishing boat by 3PM... Yes there's some distortion in market.

you nailed it. It is virtue signaling. A theater to display to everyone that you are on the right side of the debate and that you are taking covid seriously.

I would even bet that most people issuing the cleaning guidance know that it is almost useless, but we live in a world in which it is more important for your actions to make you perceived the way you want rather than being effective.
Ah, maybe in 10 years they'll use the native file pickers.
What's the standard compile time for a short iteration in Unity's C#?

I use C++ in UE4 as much as possible and even the iterative compile time with LiveLink breaks my iteration flow. BP is great for iteration but I keep as much in C++ as possible and this has made things much easier to maintain. At the moment I'm trying to prototype in BP then move completed stuff to C++.
Incredible how many teams and companies let X, Y, and Z make things incredibly complex without there being a real need or delivered value.
Yep. They'll say "it's $80" and to which you need to ask "where does it say that on the meter?".

At that point it's an intimidation game as the Taxi driver will blatantly demand money for the ride they didn't have the meter on for. It's not fun. It's also happened almost every time i've taken a Taxi in the past 5 years. I think the people who still take Taxis are the vulnerable who don't have phones so they get scammed badly :(
What frustrate me about these interviews is one need to talk on phone and code at the same time. Who the fuck do that in real life.I am so fucked up with this thinking out loud shit.
From what you have said, your friend would rather it not be patented, but he wouldn't be all that upset if it did. The major problem he is having is that some Professors who didn't contribute anything to the project are now claiming part ownership. I think your first line of approach is to talk to the university directly and tell them you don't appreciate this and you want it change to just you alone. After this and they don't comply you can follow other HNers advice about going to the media and the like.
Updating an entry in a database table (which is what a memcache entry is, in practice) is not usually as simple as just "change the value from X to Y". Locking is likely necessary no matter what.

I actually have this book but haven't read it yet. As someone who joined the web startup world when I was 14 and never went back to school, I need to work on my math skills. I believe strongly in building knowledge by layers (start with a simple overview, work you way towards the core of the subject) rather than going in for the detail right away.

Would you say this book does the former well and just doesn't cover the details very well, or is the book somehow flawed?
In my area, they use goats in town along heavily traveled bike and foot paths to control noxious weeds such as knapweed and leafy spurge. Goats are reported to be more effective than chemical herbicides and don't harm beneficial bugs, fungi, and bacteria. Children love to stop and watch the goats, too.
I've found it's a nice little ritual to start and end the day-- get into work, turn on the keyboard; go home, turn it off. My one complaint is that the black paint on the home keys started to wear off about five months after I got it; now, a little over a year later, the S/D/K/L keys are very smudged. I wrote to ask about it and their response was basically "Yeah, that happens." They offered to replace them (within the first year), but I figured they'd just wear through again. (Maybe I have unusually corrosive fingertips?)
Well then, hopefully some pharma company will create their own patented blend called ONGARTA (TM) that they'll shepard through FDA trials so doctors can prescribe it.

Why the obsession of economic growth?

One alternate question might be, "At what point in time do you consider the economy to have become 'big enough' that you don't care about growth?" Today? 2000? 1990? 1970?

The people who might think today is "big enough" might also have thought that say 1990 was big enough, and yet very few people would want to be limited to 1990's tech / culture. It seems reasonable to imagine that people in say 2050 will look back on benighted 2015 and marvel at the shit we had to put up with. What gets us from today to 2050? Economic growth, which is likely tied into lots of other things (like science, production, entrepreneurship, etc.).
Too bad Manning's not a writer -- he might have insisted on being addressed as "Bradley Womaning".

All kidding aside, this is one of the most tragic stories of misguided youth I've ever heard. Maybe in the future there will be an unambiguous neuroscientific test for prospective military recruits, something that doesn't involve simply asking the subject stupid psychological questions, but that can determine whether he is completely out of touch with reality.

Q: "Can you describe your plans for the immediate future?"

A: "Join the military, betray my country, get sentenced to 35 years for treason, then come out as a trangender person just prior to being incarcerated with a bunch of notorious rapists. In a nutshell."
