HN won't let me update this comment for some reason, so I'll just add this here:

The real issue here is that the web is becoming increasingly centralized, which means that we're becoming more dependant on the internal processes of a small handful of venture capital corporations for the web to work. Regardless of Cloudflare's current policy on Tor (they seem to be trying which is good), they could also just arbitrarily change that policy anytime they want, and this is a scary situation for the future of the web. It's a single point of failure for a large chunk of the web, for political manipulation and for advertiser and government spying. Tor (your last chance at a privacy web) users being unable to access major swaths of the web just happens to be the first sign of the implications of this. It's no surprise to me at all that we've seen so much interest in distributed web technologies lately (IPFS, ZeroNet).
@Capira since you're so readily fixing things based on comments (awesome), here's another one.

You write "To prevent your browser from accessing your Device Orientation use NoScript." under the Network Scan section. Looks like copy / pasta.
How outraged will you be when those sensible immigration policies reject your dirty London culture?
IMHO, China is still full of tech copycats.

What they have done so far is applying western technologies/business models to the Chinese market, maybe some modifications here and there for the local culture and marketing schemes, but hardly innovative.

Now, can you name a few things coming out of China in the last twenty years that are relatively innovative and influential? Maybe things like Linux, Java, Netscape, Rails, Jquery, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The definitions for 'innovative' and 'influential' are up to you, I am just genuinely curious.
I believe that this has way more chance to revolutionize human/computer interaction than anything Occulus is doing. Outside of specific areas (like gaming and certain types of video based entertainment), this type of AR/MR is much more useful than Rift style VR.

You can interact with others, your environment, and other systems without the isolation or nausea of VR. On top of that, being able to supplement the real world instead of only temporarily replacing it seems far more valuable to me.

Now we just gotta shrink it down to contact lens size, and we're good to go!

> a browser is almost 100% a commodity wrapped around a search engine

I've seen you post this a few times, but I'm curious why you think this, because I haven't seen you give a good explanation and the connection seems like a total non sequitur to me.

It would be huge for Brave to gain Opera's level of marketshare, for instance, and no one is downloading Opera because of its search engine.
I find it hard that people are going to change their primary browser (a big ask) and post for content, when they can simply continue use their existing browser, and install an extension ublock origin). Maybe brave plans in having extensions as well?
I think there are two fundamental reasons it's "janky":

1. It's version 1.

2. It's an interface that nobody's used before.

Neither of these is a mark against the technology.

Go ask a caveman to use a version 1 iPhone, and see if he falls in love with it or just trash-talks it on an internet forum.

I suppose I should be happy that some Fortran code I wrote back in school wasn't in Github. One of the things I look for in people is their ability to learn, and to do that they have to challenge themselves, to re convince themselves when they do something that it is still the right thing to do, the right path to take, and when they discover new information or new insights they adapt their behavior appropriately.

It makes me wonder if folks growing up in the permanent digital foot print age will be able to escape their early years. There is a reason police records for minors are often sealed, so as adults the things they did as kids don't permanently stain their lives. It is the basis for the right to be forgotten movement in the EU as far as I can tell.
It would seem there's no where on the peninsula can you buy an average 1500sqft house for less than $1million, ~$700/sqft.

> The misuse of the word is a symptom of the real problem...

Agreed.

> I don't really mind cops insisting that they aren't civilians...

I do. ;) Because...

> [Police use as a] standard [situation control mechanism the] escalation of force model, where the officer is taught to control a situation by being one level of force above everybody else - making them aggressors by default.

Military police use de-escalation of force by default when interacting with non-combatants. It is drilled and drilled and drilled into their heads that the very fact that they are armed and/or armored automatically escalates the situation, so they MUST continuously work to de-escalate the situation from the microsecond that they arrive on the scene.

Civilian police would be so much more competent and so much more reasonable if they had the same training that actual military personnel receive.
Latin America is also an option, but you have to go there with the mindset that you're going to be part of the upper class. That's the toughest thing that ex-pats from Europe and America deal with there. It's not very easy to go with a middle class identity and fit in with the existing middle class of those countries.

Locals will expect you to be a retiree, a tourist, slumming it and up to no good, or an entrepreneur who is going to invest and create a business. You can't just go get a normal job domestically and expect to have a better life than you would in a western country. Worst of all, you won't really be accepted as a member of the local culture unless you've married a local and speak the language perfectly. People will see you as an outsider, and they'll take your money, but you will likely never feel at home.

The expats I have met in Latin America who have made a good life for themselves are either:

A. Working for large multinationals and live in a cloistered expat bubble.

B. Working as teachers in elite schools or as missionaries connected with some sort of religion or charity.

C. Digital Nomads who are basically permanent tourists and not really ex-pats.

D. People who were formally middle class in western countries and are now upper class having started boutique resorts, specialty farming operations, or are doing real estate development. This is the best reason to move to a developing country: You have the mindset of a wealthy person, but can't break through the middle class glass ceiling. Usually these people will leverage home equity or savings in western countries to invest in lifestyle business or those with a high rate of return in developing countries that require a lot of hands on management and political skill. Usually, the capital they invest would have been insufficient to star the same kind of business in a western country.
Does DDG allow building things on top of it? Like API access to search queries, for example. I'm very much into building things for fun and DDG is my choice engine (on mobile and desktop).
Maybe, but keep in mind it's per square foot, and I'd bet the average Orinda residence is 2-3X larger than the average Rockridge residence.
Would your reaction be the same if the passenger requesting a change had been, say, a female rape survivor being triggered by the man sitting next to her? If not, why do you get to be the one to determine which psychological distresses are legitimate to have, and which aren't? If you would say the same to that hypothetical, I suspect you would be called heartless, bigoted, whatever, when a sufficiently vocal and powerful class of people get offended by the application of this kind of opinion.

AFAICT, all we really know is that it's "company policy" to try to accommodate these requests -- which due to things like the above I think is more tenable for the company in public-relations/customer-service terms -- but we don't know that it specifically says the man is to stay in his seat and the woman must move. Maybe that's what this particular flight attendant chose to suggest for this particular scenario. It's impossible to please everybody all the time with this type of situation.

This is definitely true for Caltrain stations in SV, but I'm actually not sure if it applies to BART since it at least seems like most of the more expensive neighborhoods in the city aren't particularly close to a station.
Interesting. They had some changes in party systems in the US over the course of the country's life, but did they change the voting system?

Britain also had some changes (with labour replacing liberal at the beginning of the 20th century).

I hail from Germany, which traditionally has a more proportional system. (It's a weird mix that seems to do reasonably well in practice. They could replace the first-past-the-post of the `Erststimme' with a score voting system, but the Erststimme isn't that important anyway.) They never had less than three parties in the federal parliament after WWII, even with a 5% threshold needed to move in.

The UK had three somewhat relevant parties in the 20th century (though only two relevant parties per county). Why haven't they changed electoral system? (And when they had a referendum about it, why did they suggest the dreadful IRV?..)

I don't think it is necessary to identify the scraper. Something simple should work, like counting how many unique URLs for a particular website got accessed in some period of time and comparing that to similar thing, but counted for known non-bot users (normalized). If one is much bigger than the other one - start requiring CAPTCHAs, but only for those requests, that are not part of known non-bot users set of our probabilistic counter of requests or even a separate bloom filter, depending on what is going to be more efficient and more accurate.

This is very true. Even in locales where it's nominally permitted (eg. In California w/ CA Labor Code 2870), there can be pretty severe cultural issues that deter or prevent side projects -- even at companies that are supposedly friendly to the concept.

(Happened to me. I won't elaborate any further.)
WebRTC folks insist prompts will confuse people and be bad. But ignoring explicit networking settings is good, somehow.
Maybe universities should consider paying more to compete with the tech companies. It's a free market and whatnot. If the price goes up, you gotta pay more. Complaining about the price going up isn't exactly productive.
Maybe they should pay their talent more than the administrators and paper shufflers.
Yeah, it's certainly not a common experience for most places.

+1 for the last paragraph. As long as more people are becoming developers. This convenient feature did save a lot of headaches. At least, it saves time to those who don't want to get deeper into Github.
There are a lot of people living further away from the city commuting in than people that live near BART or caltrain stations.

Anecdotally, half the office (in a small startup) I worked with drove to a BART station, then took BART the rest of the way.

Also, I'd say the sprawl goes pretty far. I grew up in Vacaville, and it was not uncommon to commute into San Francisco. That was 50-something miles away.
My personal opinion is that outside is the quietest when it is snowing, windless, and the trees are holding a few inches of snow. You can hear snowflakes landing on your jacket.

I've also experienced extreme quiet deep within a cave when by myself. Turn off your light and it doesn't take long to start picking what you think are your companions out of the silence but it really turns out to be nothing.
You make a good point about bisecting. (Although I guess if you're too overzealous with rebasing you'll arrive at the commit you're looking for and it will be huge. Balance in everything yadda yadda yadda.)
i seem to find that most people use their browsers to connect to google. many people use google as a web interface. almost everyone in english speaking countries use either microsoft edge/ie to connect to bing or use chrome to go to google or somewhere in between, although chrome has close to 60% of global browser marketshare. don't get me wrong, chrome is a great browser, but i argue that the integration with search & ancilliary services are why it is gaining share.

so onbvious consolidation risk aside, and allowing one org to control how the world receives info (using pagerank/clone pf pagerank) a browser is a wrapper through which we receive info and typically that is through a search portal.

i think brave is awesome and totally great. great product. great team. good vision. however, i think it is unlikely to 10x. it cant 10x my integration with search/info gathering(browsers browse literally synonym of search) and it likely cant 10x my(generic me) experience if i use adblock/ublock.

browsers help you browse. search engines help you find. you can't browse if you don't know where to look. also, there are only ~3 browser engines that have serios market share. most browsers render the web the same way because of standards so they are just varying degrees of ui, convenience/ux and exterior service integration.

does this make sense? that is how i have been thinking about it.
I'm gonna' need you to retype this comment from the beginning as there's a typo and thus, I can't read it.
Yes. And WebGL, and WebRTC.
I will setup, maintain and automate your integration test suite
I am a software engineer with 16 years of experience in web technologies. I have been working on a side project that brings automated integration test to the age of micro-services. In the past few month as a Senior Software engineer for a YC company I've been tuning that side project to make setting up integration testing a breeze.
My next step before releasing the tool is to use it with another 10 projects in order to make it more holistic that it currently is.

What will I do for you:

- Setup your CI environment to run integration tests upon developers commits/PR. That includes setting it up if you don't have one.
- Write tests for to up to 10 user flows.
- Provide a 5 hours mentoring session to your engineers so they can start adding test scenarios in minutes. If you need me to be your "test guru", maintain and improve your integration test suite over time. I might be able to do it for one or two company (if I like your product and team).

How much will it cost:

I first thought that I would offer this service for free. But after giving it some thoughts, I think that I only want to offer this service to companies that recognize the necessity of a solid test suite and that are willing to pay for it. You could still wait for the tool to be ready for prime time.

Who am I:
build my first website in 2000 using Microsoft front page and since have probably used most of the web technologies that have made that decade and a half. I currently work for a YC company as the Director of Software engineering.

What's next?

If you are interested or are just curious, I would be happy to hop on a call with you.
"In Homage, Orwell said he felt that if the revolution had been allowed to continue, Republican Spain could have won the war. But by five years later, he took a different view, writing in an essay that “the outcome of the Spanish War was settled in London, Paris, Rome, Berlin.” ... All too few writers about contentious political issues are willing to go public when they change their opinion."

It seems that the author is missing something crucial. Orwell was consistent in his later remarks. The resources marshaled to suppress the revolution were controlled and financed by the world powers he mentioned later.

Destroying the Anarchist revolution took the combined might of the most powerful forces in the world and clearly demonstrates their justified fear of a collective society.

Seems like it's trying to connect to Facebook's regular presence servers at their edge POPs.

Not pleasant, but so far we aren't sure they are transmitting any information of note.

In other words, this is no worse than, say, Facebook Messenger's permissions or behaviors, at least from what we know at this point. Worth further study.

Travel times from Fremont to the 1st SF stop is about 45 - 50 minutes. Assuming no police activity, medical emergency or BART equipment problem ( you might have heard they have no clue wtf is wrong ? ) .

BART parking is full pretty early ( 7:30 am ) and trains are usually standing room only by the 2nd stop and by the 4th or so its crammed standing.

I am leaving in Oct. I dont plan on paying 3k+ a month ( 1100 sq ft 3BR/2BTH ) with a patch of grass for a yard and having to plan my times to move around commuting hours ( forget heading anywhere nice on the weekend as everyone else is too ). I am 5 minutes away from a BART station by car ( 15 - 20 by bike )

i think the best part of wolf of wall street is that it continues the fine american tradition of glorifying disgusting behavior implicitly by displaying it in entertaining form. the audience is guilty for enjoying it and unknowingly being subsumed into this glorification.

to a limited extent the big short does this as well, but in a very different way with a different tone. but it does it, why? because the protagonists get rich, despite the narrator's self effacing disclosures of not being 'a good guy'.
So last night I met an interesting fellow who grew up in Germany but is native Chinese. He is an electrical engineer. I said great, I am looking for an electrical engineer to partner with on a project, I handle the software. Bang, we get talking. Meeting later today.
