The new system encrypts one's secrets with a function of one's Firefox account password and stores it on Mozilla's servers. That has two effects: one, an insecure Firefox account password (i.e., a password it is possible to remember) can compromise one's entire synced data; two, anywhere one enters one's Firefox account password is a potential danger.

As it turns out, Mozilla serves JavaScript files which are used to handle Firefox account passwords. Any government Mozilla is beholden to could compel them to serve malicious versions of those files and steal one's Firefox account password (and then decrypt all of one's synced data, including passwords). Likewise, a malicious Mozilla employee could do the same.

As a result Mozilla Sync may no longer be used by anyone who cares about the privacy of his browsing history and/or passwords.
> Government is accountable

that is funny right there....

>With private services, you're more or less out of luck,

In a way, but last I checked google nor facebook are legally empowered to Arrest, Put me in a Cage, Raid my Home at 3am, Shoot my dog, Detonate Explosives in my children face or even Kill Me.

So yes google violates your privacy, to sell you shit, the government violates your privacy to put you in a cage or kill you. I am more concerned with the latter...
Especially for software so mission critical as a RDBMS. If your web framework has a bug users get errors or things act wonky, if your database has a bug you can get data corruption and other horrible, horrible things.
Search engines are free. Whether you own or hire a self-driving car, you're going to have to pay for it, but all you really care about is whether it gets you from point A to point B. It's quite binary--either it works or it doesn't. There is objective and subjective factors the determine preferences towards search engines and phone. But if all driverless car tech works the same, then you're not going to care which one you use as long as it's the cheapest.
Your phone is probably in your pocket.
>Get it now in the App Store in English in the U.S.

What a shame. I know plenty of people here in Poland who have their phone languages set to English for convenience. Let alone the English speakers in other English-speaking lands - I guess I can understand local English variants presenting a few minor issues, at least.
That's a rather narrow definition of comparability. If nothing else said, one would understand the term with regards to the relation of any partially ordered set – not only the one implicitly defined on that page.
So have I, but even then, I expanded my search radius in discrete steps:

- 0-30 minute commute and remote for stable companies
- 30-60 minute commute and remote for promising start-ups
- less than 2 hour commute and remote for anybody
- moving to a previously white-listed US metropolitan area
- moving anywhere at all within the continental US
- freelancing gigs
- live on the government dole
- emigrate to a Commonwealth country
- emigrate to another Anglophone country
- emigrate to a completely foreign culture
- turn to a life of white-collar crime
- "out, damned spot"
- wage bloody revolution against the corporation whores
- sell humanity out to the lizard people

So far, I haven't ever had to progress past step 5. I'd be a little worried about folks stuck on step 7, as that's just before the slippery slope starts.
I didn't mean issue with it in a bad way.

Just that a lot operational people noticed it was trend occurring and adapted to it. They didn't avoid it.

As a DevOps can you develop code to automate things, like deployment, builds, ci, server setup? Can you setup servers, networks, monitoring? If you can do all of these things your cross functional.

Originally before devops, operational teams and developer teams were completely separate. Often separate rooms.

At the company I'm at devops and developers are actually on the same team. Same room and attend the same stand up meetings. We have devops people that have helped create code, and we have developers that are on call for making sure that they are on duty in case their new code falls over. Skills gradually start to overlap. We also have people have switched their focus, developers who moved to more ops skills and vice versa.

We aren't different groups of people. That' what I mean by not separate silos.
Is it in Facebook's best interest to find and delete fake accounts? Fake accounts clicking on ads makes Facebook money (maybe not in the long run).
It sounds to me like the issue is really your employer and not the job itself.

If you have any, you should use your vacation time. Take time to clear your head and do things you enjoy. Then if you can afford to be unemployed for a while (depends on the job market in your area) quit your job and start looking for another one; otherwise start looking for a job while you are at your current one.

Write down the things you done like about your job (i.e. lack of repository, servicing multiple teams, projects with inconsistent workflows, etc.). When you go on interviews keep those things in mind. Remember you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. You can ask things like "Would I be on multiple projects", or "How do you handle bug reporting?" (possibly follow up with how are bug fixes scheduled) so you can get a feel for how the organization works.

For the vast majority of people, starting companies will only be a money-losing effort. Don't criticize people for choosing not to take this risk. Not everyone can (or wants to) afford it.

For the vast majority of people, joining a startup in Silicon Valley costs more than it's worth. Salaries are not pegged to the cost of living in SF. Some startups have a work culture that demands long hours, little time with family, and accepting illusory equity instead of cash. Don't criticize people for choosing not to live their lives that way.

See my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11684378.

The short version is that Mozilla now uses one's Firefox account password to secure one's synced data — but there are places one enters one's Firefox account password which load JavaScript from Mozilla servers, which means that Mozilla, an employee or a government (or anyone else who can act as mozilla.com …) can serve malicious JavaScript and steal one's Firefox password and all synced data, including browsing history and passwords.

This is flat-out unacceptable.
Long term, your customer still doesn't give a shit that your product is built on a bleeding edge javascript framework (except if it has more bugs as a result). And salespeople are perfectly capable of grasping "if we don't fix this technical debt, it'll be really difficult to do anything very much with the product in future". They're just immune to "look, open source, new architecture, shiny!"

The salesperson is the one that says "you're not going replace horses with automobiles, unless they're faster or more reliable than a horse".

As well as the one that says "don't make a faster aeroplane, make one with lower fuel burn instead"
That's not my logic, it's the logic of the comment I replied to. What I'm trying to say is they specifically designed and built a collision detection system with the goal of preventing the car from hitting things parked in front of it. That collision detection system did not detect the collision that took place in this case, and failed in its design goal, it's raison d'etre.
I admire your desire to solve problems, but you can’t just write off macroeconomic trends. Debt cycles are a real thing and they do happen. Deleveraging is a real phenomenon. All the money printing the fed did is unprecedented in history and has real effects. Who is going to stay in silicon valley when people are not throwing around funding? Not everybody has 250k to spend on a domain name.

On top of these macroeconomic facts — why would you want to live in a big suburban sprawl with bad traffic? Sounds pretty crappy to me.
Oration tends to sway audiences more than plain speech, but I think it's a little dishonest. Hopefully, such tactics will fall out of favor as more people notice them.
@mr_stud the functionality you are asking about is addressed by IPFS. I worked on the project briefly about a year ago -- exciting stuff. IPFS's content distribution is similar to that of a torrent. So the content gets stored across the network, with certain concentrations where people can pin it. It leaves room for giving an economic incentive for pinning it. Cost of storage shifts over to the people who care about the content rather than the people who care about it's distribution.

There still would be a case where a friend's content is unavailable because it is offline. If the friend is offline too much, one way is to have an intermediary willing to pin the content when that friend comes briefly online. It may be possible if the friend is within a large enough group, there will always be some sort of coverage.

Check out the IPFS website sometime. There is a white paper and demo videos.

Indeed, all the "tribarrels" (equivalent to the M2 Browning used in Vietnam (or, rather, back from 1933 to today, it's a keeper)) could be/were slaved to the anti-artillery and air network, and could be automatically taken away from their operators to stop an incoming barrage.

They had proximity fuzed Claymore style anti-"buzz bomb" defenses, but arming those was problematical for a zillion reasons, the best defenses were as they are today, sharp eyes and trigger fingers. Later killing a buzz bomb team that killed a super expensive tank and its crew was not considered an acceptable exchange.

Right, but the idea is that there seems to be a large preference towards high density cities going forward, so it seems like self-driving cars improve a lifestyle that is to some degree actively being abandoned.

I think OP's point is (to paraphrase) "why all this when the population is moving into high density cities where this complex infrastructure already exists and presents a superior choice to cars, self-driving or otherwise".

Or from a more global perspective "why all this when the US is the only major market that is likely to continue having a mass suburban population in the long term, and the rest of the world has already urbanized and will continue to do so, already has highly robust mass transit infrastructure, is actively building even more of said infrastructure, and that is rapidly attracting even more population?"

There is a particularly common dream among American urbanists that suburban America will somehow rapidly urbanize - I don't think that's particularly true, but it's certainly true the rest of the world has urbanized, and will continue urbanizing rapidly. So the question is if self-driving personal cars (as opposed to say, commercial cargo vehicles) will largely be an American phenomenon, and if so, doesn't that present fairly modest total addressable market for a company the scale of Apple.
iOS has unique sandboxing restrictions that make third-party keyboards much less useful than they could be on, say, Android.

> History of philosophy is a major part of all philosophy programs

Right or wrong, modern philosophers at top universities would claim that they teach history of philosophy for the same modest reason that physicists learn about Newton: so they can get some context about how various ideas developed and the reason for conventions. Analytical philosophers generally resist about having to teach history of philosophy.

> the list of topics that are discussed in the non-history topics are those that were discussed by the old European philosophers.

What topics discussed by non-European philosophers do you think are neglected?

Yes it's hard to imagine there isn't bias in topic selection, but then this needs to be addressed by convincing modern researchers that whatever non-European ideas are better on their merits, not by studying modern non-European philosophy as a separate topic.

I don't know if it's possible to build a robot like that. Or if will take a hundred years for the technology to evolve to get to the point that will make it possible. I know currently it's not even really possible to get a robot to do a simple task like folding a towel. It'll undoubtably be extremely difficult to make something that's useful and functional. But I think Apple needs to look to something that big if it wants to grow at a fast pace again.

Operations are implemented in a class with a method for each data type. Data is created via factories. Adding data types is done by adding new factory methods, possibly by extending another factory. Adding new operations is done by adding operation methods, possibly by extending existing operation classes.

The paper is quite accessible and the patterns are simple and familiar. The paper goes into type safety and composing algebras.
