That's an excellent point. It does seem to have been a component of the overall exaggeration of the cost of nuclear power.
Material Design for Chrome in OS X
Saw this on Designer News (https://www.designernews.co/stories/70188-material-design-for-chrome-on-osx). Guy there saw it on Reddit.

if you have the latest version of Chrome (51+), you can go to chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md and set it to Material. If you want transparency like Safari, set it to Material Hybrid.

Another comment adds more:
For full material, there's also chrome://flags/#secondary-ui-md, chrome://flags/#enable-md-history, chrome://flags/#enable-md-extensions, and others for various other parts of the UI

How else could he use the service anyway? What is non personal use of your own money?! Serious question, I don't understand.
Geological and political stability are concerns for both marked and un-marked sites, I don't see how marking would solve any of these.
I just tried - the "Firefox Web Content" process was automatically killed quickly after the "Firefox" process was killed. No surprise there, it would be weird if they hadn't considered that scenario.

If the "Web Content" process is killed while the main Firefox process is running, Firefox asks if you want to restore the tabs - which is half the point of e10s.

"killall firefox" would be easy to do anyway.
Notably, it'll remain disabled by default if you're using extensions (pretty much everybody here who is running Firefox?): The groups that will have to wait a bit for E10S account for about half of our release users and include Windows XP users, users with screen readers, RTL users, and the largest group, extension users.

You can manually enable it, though[0]: However, if you want to permanently opt-in, you can do so with a simple pref change. Just go to about:config and toggle browser.tabs.remote.autostart to true. On your next restart, e10s should be active. To verify that it is active, go to about:support and look for a number higher than 0 in "Multiprocess Windows".

I didn't realize they had this kind of fine-grained control over A/B-testing in their Firefox beta population, as Asa puts it: We have all the knobs. I understand where they are coming from, but it feels a bit weird to have a piece of software running on my computer checking in with a remote server to enable/disable functionality.

I switched from Atom a few weeks ago, and haven't back. I do miss Atom's regex support in Find All, but I use it rarely enough that I can just fire up Atom when I need it.

Enough of the keyboard commands are borrowed from Atom that it makes the switch pretty painless.

I know, but users without touchpad had zoom functionality (like ctrl+wheel or ctrl+scroll) for years. Don't get me wrong I like the zoomability of a calendar, it is an excellent way to visualise information.
Isn't Chrome multi-process per-tab? Unless I'm misunderstanding, Firefox's e10s will create just 2 processes: UI / content.
They don't want you using it for your business accounts.
Because it is more convenient and allows for regenerative braking. One advantage of electric cars is that the motor can act as a very powerful Dynamo and get a lot of energy back into the battery when braking and going downhill. With two paddles, this would be close to impossible or id imagine it would just feel weird.

Furthermore, your argument that it has always worked and doesn't need changing is also very weak. Why drive automatic when manual has always worked just fine? With manual driving, there is no disadvantage, the majority of people still use it in some European countries and new cars are commonly soled as manuals on purpose.

And yet many Americans drive automatic simply because it is more convenient. One paddle driving doesn't really make driving more or less secure. It is just different and people need to get used to it. Accidents like this are not something news – they have happened a lot in the past and will happen in the future (although manual cars might have an advantage here because you can't drive into a wall very fast when you are almost parked because you have to switch gears to get to a proper speed).

The zoom and touch gestures are there on mobile. Ideally the same would be available for laptops that have the same gestures on their touchpad. Presumably this would require something like Pointer Events:

For a traditional PC interface, there isn't such a natural way of handling this interface.
There is nothing magical in 'feel the pain' (also love,hate etc).

What about hunger and others? Your body and brain evolved to a current state which releases chemical substances to signal to other parts of body what's going on. Here cut arm is signaling with pain it's hurt and this will/may (after many layers of reduction) hamper your survival chances, thats why you have such signaling in place.

In essence, your pain feeling (and others 'high feelings like love/child etc') is no different than automatic closing your eyes because your eyelashes touched something or you moving out of warm environment because it's not comfort anymore to you or you drinking some water because you're thirsty (BTW try to trink about how that 'I'm thirsty' thought just appeared in your brain - who did it? ;) ).
Any reason why it won't be enabled for people using extensions? This makes me worry that there's some significant incompatibility with extensions, and that when they do enable it for everyone, it'll break some of the extensions I use. I suspect that splitting the UI and content into multiple processes would make certain things very difficult.

Of course there's no observable difference, that's the definition of a pzombie, and the whole point of the concept. Just because we can't observe a lack of consciousness doesn't mean it's not meaningful difference.

As always, it depends ...

If you just want to learn the maths relevant to your specific interests then you can simply pick a page on wikipedia, build a tree of topics you need to cover, then start to knock them off one by one, building a web of knowledge as you go. Then ask questions on http://math.stackexchange.com/ making sure you take the advice about how to ask questions the smart way[0][1].

If, on the other hand, you want to get into studying maths generally and build your maths study skills, then I would recommend starting with a really good maths text book and work through it, doing all the exercises, reviewing earlier material, and taking it seriously. Two options are Spivak[2][3] which claims to be about calculus, but is really about analysis, or "Sets and Groups" by Green[4]. The latter is great to create the underlying basic knowledge you need for cryptography, but more, it teaches you how to do maths properly.

You could also just pick something you think is interesting on Khan Academy[5] and go for it.

But having said all that, it's tough to get back into maths, and you need to make sure you really understand your motivation. Most people don't want to write a book, they want to have written a book. Most people don't want to study maths, they want to have studied maths. If you're not serious, you won't succeed, especially with no one to track your progress, answer questions, and generally encourage, coax, support, and inspire you, it will be tough.

How well motivated are you?

Can't wait until they port it to a native language and don't have to include chrome and node.js.
That's the point of beta software. They're making it public, but it's still a release whose purpose is to investigate problems with the code before an official release.

I wonder if they're isolating E10S to stock-Firefox as means to avoid too many interactions while debugging or some other reason. I don't even wanna ask why they're still supporting Windows XP...
"We've successfully extracted free energy from the quantum foam!"

"But what'll we do with it? What shall we power first?"

"Hmm.."

"I've got it, MOBILE PHONES!"

"My God Jenkins, that's genius"
I'm using nightly builds since about two years and can't remember when exactly I enabled E10S. When I enabled it, I noticed around 20mb more memory usage. So imho this is a good thing, not that much memory for a lot more safety and if Firefox crashes for some reasons, all I have to do is clicking the "reload tabs" button.
"""uBeam CEO Meredith Perry tricked co-founder Nora Dweck into an 80/20 split of the company instead of a 50/50 split, according to court documents. Dweck sued Perry, who “settled out of court with Dweck rumored to get 20% of the company"""

I'm assuming this means an additional 20%? If not that's a pretty great settlement for the sued party :P
Zika Virus Continues to Plague the Western Hemisphere
I thought the plan was for Firefox to use the same process-per-tab model as Chrome, but this post does seem to imply that it's just 2 - "we’re using project Electrolysis to split Firefox into a UI process and a content process."

They also go on to say that "After that, we’ll be working on support for multiple content processes.", so I assume the plan is to have one perocess-per-tab eventually. I'm surprised they aren't there already though, considering this has been in the works for a few years now.
> both archetypes of an "attractive" woman (blonde, light-skinned)

Says who? light-skinned women appear in american fashion magazines a lot because most of the population are white. Tanned, or light brown skin is still considered attractive though. Blonde women are stereotyped as ditzy/bubbly/fun, not necessarily "attractive".
Flagged due to 404
I find that lately the term "consciousness" is being overloaded to mean something that I don't think it originally meant. Because of that, I like to distinguish between neurobiological consciousness (which can be studied, probed, and predicted) and experiential consciousness (subjective experience).
Sure. I should have been clearer in what I wrote. From your earlier post, "put it in the tunnels inside a mountain then blow all entrances up".

With the geology, you want a place where you can firmly reason about what's going to happen over a long period of time. Maybe there would be sites where you can do the thing of putting it into mountains. But mountain geology is not necessarily stable. Consider how mountains are formed.

Your limited choice of sites is more likely to be flat country. (And it'll be desert, in order for the politics to work.)
Another recommendation, it's quite a lovely film.
The way I understood it he was talking about the release channel population, not just beta.

Here’s what that looks like. When we launch Firefox 48, approximately 1% of eligible Firefox users will get updated to E10S immediately. The 1% of release users should get us up to a population similar to what we have in Beta so we’ll be able compare the two. About ten days after launch, we’ll get another round of feedback and analysis related to the release users with and without E10S. Assuming all is well, we’ll turn the knobs so that the rest of the eligible Firefox users get updated to E10S over the following weeks. If we run into issues, we can slow the roll-out, pause it, or even disable E10sS for those who got it. We have all the knobs.

I know I think strangely but when I see this, after getting over being so very impressed, I cannot help but then think of how it is being funded via millions of dollars extracted from vastly underpaid Chinese workers and then vastly overpriced products sold to gullible 1st world consumers.

I haven't seen anything to indicate where any of these incidents happened but given the number of accusations it seems you have to assume it happened in both Germany and the US.

Sam Altman, the Bilderberger
The goal must be a single controller ("UI") process and multiple content processes for each tab, otherwise they'll be missing out on the advantages of a multiprocess model, namely, stability and isolation.

They're first going to do two processes, probably for debugging without too many moving parts, then multiprocess. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Schedule_and_Status and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Multiple_content_proce....
PyCon 2016 Recap: Refactoring, binary machetes, and eating lunch with strangers
Freedom of speech is in retreat
Most people still claim Firefox is a memory hog, but from my observations Chrome uses a lot more from it's one process-per-tab model compared to Firefox's single process for many tabs. It might not be significant for a small number of tabs, but as someone who frequently has 50 tabs open (I know, I have a problem), I'm concerned at how much this could increase things.

That said, memory usage isn't my biggest concern, I generally have no shortage of memory, and don't particularly care if my browser is using 1GB of RAM. If this improves stability and performance (which seems to have gotten much worse recently on OS X in particular), then it's a fair trade off.
How to Write a Compiler in JavaScript and HyperDev
Let me preface the following by saying that a text editor is a use case where an Electron-based desktop app can make good sense.

I recently put some time into experimenting with Electron, writing a simple media gallery app for viewing all the images and videos in a directory (https://gitlab.com/steve-perkins/MediaGallery-electron).

Certain things were easy, due to the fact that it's largely a web app under the covers. Certain things were frustratingly impossible, such as detecting whether a video is supported without adding it to the DOM and attempting to render it. Other things fell somewhere in between. HTML/CSS/JavaScript is a secondary skillset for me, so it felt like I swimming upstream to make a web app format and behave like a desktop app.

My primary skillset is Java, and I haven't yet had a chance to tinker with JavaFX (i.e. Java's answer to Microsoft's WPF and XAML). So I decided to write a JavaFX version of the app for experience (https://gitlab.com/steve-perkins/MediaGallery-javafx).

It was still a pain in the ass to learn a completely new GUI framework. But it was a relief to work with layout managers that actual want to function in a desktop paradigm. It was also nice to have unfettered access to local API's beyond the web-server-focused ones available to Node.js, and to have cleaner integration with the main process and the renderer thread. Interestingly, Java supports far more media types than the Electron browser engine.

Here's the kicker. Not many people know about it, but modern JDK's ship with a "javapackager" tool that bundles up your app into a native executable with a stripped down embedded Java runtime (and even a platform-specific installer). Believe it or not, the standalone installer for my JavaFX-based app is about 25% SMALLER than the installer for my Electron-based version.

Now, I'm not necessarily saying that JavaFX is a panacea for cross-platform desktop development. There really IS no ideal solution for that space, because so few people still care about it these days. However, I will say that Electron seems to make sense only for distributing apps that are basically just web apps, or perhaps have very limited native interaction outside the DOM (i.e. loading and saving plain text files, or spawning external processes). If you need to write a cross-platform desktop app that really IS a desktop app... then I think you're stuck with a C++ framework like Qt or xwWidgets, or perhaps JavaFX.
This looks great. Loved reading the writeup!
Even if you can get one flying car to work that does not mean that flying cars as a concept will ever work.

Just like uBeam, you might be able to make it work under controlled conditions but in the wild it would not work.
I'm sure if you wait long enough we will come full circle again.
It is exactly that. Some extensions (it used to be "many extensions" before E10S was enabled on the Nightly and Aurora channels) assume that they can call back and forth between page content and browser chrome, which is easy when they're all JS objects in the same memory space, but which doesn't work nearly as well between processes.

It might be worth downloading Firefox Developer Edition (which uses a separate profile) and installing your usual suite of extensions to check they all still work.

The only extension I personally know is weird under E10S is "It's All Text", where the edit button doesn't appear on textareas until you switch to a different tab and back. Other extensions like uBlock Origin, Tree Style Tabs, Open In Browser, HTTPS Everywhere, Document Font Toggle all work fine.
I've been a vi person for over two decades, and switched to VS Code a few months ago. It's really fantastic for a lot of modern development especially web stuff (and golang.) As they add features, I hope they continue to drive the UI latency down and keep it snappy.
I think that would be a stastical question. Theranos recalled 10's of thousands of potentially inaccurate blood tests. Some of these were presumably the deciding factor in a treatment decision. Wild guess : 10% of the time a single test result may change the treatment decision. So that is order of 1000's of patients getting different treatment than their doctors would have chosen. Wild guess : 10% of unnesessary treatments have undesirable side-effects, 1% of missed treatments have an avoidable bad outcome. So my wild math is order of magnitude of 1000s of patients with unnessary expense, 100s of patients with unnesessary side effects, 10s of patients with avoidable bad outcomes.

Well, i found people to be reluctant to download programs these days, so it's necessary to put them into the browser to be able to show them off efficiently.

As far as i can remember, i figured from the nearby code that the opcodes are read from flash (0x50) and write to flash (0x51), and they read to or store from REG_ACC to the flash at address of word at register 0x105:0x104. But there seems to be something more to it, since that's not enough to boot the thing.

In any case, good luck!
