It's usually less so things breaking and rather just being slow. For example, if you use NoScript, it often takes really long to load up a page, because that's when NoScript becomes active, and because NoScript isn't yet properly e10s-compatible, it just forces Firefox to do things in a single-process way. But that actually makes things slower than when Firefox is running without e10s.

Yeah, it's kind of crazy.

When gas prices started to retreat from the $4/gallon peak around 2008, there was talk of increasing gas taxes to compensate. Not just for climate change, but also because efficiency is hitting gas tax revenue and that money is needed to build and maintain roads. But it's a tough sell when half of the electorate thinks climate change is a conspiracy and government always wastes its money, so nothing happened.
Is this the Hunter Thompson quote you're referring to?

“We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.”
I already said majority was too strong.

Regarding poor solution, here's a list of some of the side effects:

http://www.webmd.com/depression/features/antidepressants?pag...

These are some of the reasons people quit taking them, which can result in all sorts of tragic consequences if they don't stop taking them under guidance of a medical professional. Along with people who quit taking them because they "feel better". Cutting off these medications often results in a relapse (similar for anxiety medications). EDIT: And a lifelong dependence on a medication is a difficult thing for many people to deal with. When missing even one or two doses of these medications can result in a massive emotional shift, this is a fragile solution.

CBT (which is much more than just the "lifestyle" changes, my wording was, again, not the greatest) offers better handling of emotions and reduced risk (or mitigated effects) of relapse. Largely by developing coping skills and other mental/emotional tools in these lines.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2748674/

What also can work well is a combination of both. But a serious risk with medication only is masking of the underlying problems. The individual can feel good, or at least not depressed or anxious, but the stressors and causes are still present. So when going off the medication (self-decided or medically guided) and re-encountering those stressors, they lack the skillset to handle it any better than they did the first time (without some amount of either self-directed or therapy-aided development of coping skills).

There's also a good New Yorker article that made a lot of the same points, but in the form of a longform article, if you prefer that: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/02/07/crush-point. The bottom line is that past a certain "person density", crowds are actually governed by a lot of the same laws as fluid dynamics. When you introduce a "wall" in front of the flow, the people at the back don't even know it because they're too far away to notice. They can't know to "stop" any more than water at the back of a pipe can suddenly stop if the water ahead of it encounters an obstacle.

I agree. I got the message, and hung up the phone.

My friend is also have difficulty leaving the path. A couple of months ago my buddy & I got some urgent texts from him-- he had taken a really large dose of LSD and ended up spending the next 12 hours in a emergency room's psych ward.

I think that part of the reason that we have this B.S. propaganda around psychedelics (i.e. "They're the key to enlightenment!") is that it can be pretty hard to encourage people to try drugs. And while they aren't the key to enlightenment, they are just such a _different_ experience that it can be... interesting, or help personal growth, in some lesser but still substantial ways. But that's not a great soundbite.

Marketing is much harder than we give it credit for.

//edit although on further googling, I think the quote is from Alan Watts and it's about sober meditation after a trip.

> "Psychedelic experience is only a glimpse of genuine mystical insight, but a glimpse which can be matured and deepened by the various ways of meditation in which drugs are no longer necessary or useful. If you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen..."
In my limited experience working on teams that were flat what happened every time is a sort of unofficial structure formed. Experts, and senior staff, just sort of became the go-to people. As new folks were hired they'd see that certain people simply had more institutional knowledge or were already friendly with other parts of the org and would drift towards following their lead without being told to. Obviously there are exceptions but I've noticed this on a few teams now.

I don't understand why Toyota is not the leader in plugin hybrids. They had such a big lead in hybrid tech and the next natural step was plugin hybrid. Imagine a RAV4 or Highlander plugin hybrid with 50 mile range. The demand would be incredible. The marketing would be so easy, "Drive your SUV to get groceries with zero gas! Save money, help the environment, and drive a big car! win-win-win for everyone!" A SUV like this would fit so well with the suburban lifestyle in the US. Instead they are wasting time and money on the hydrogen fuel-cell nonsense. How can their management have enough vision to create the Prius and hybrid tech and yet so ignorant of this next obvious step?
My personal experience has been that many of the engineers most in favor of flatland management are in fact most in need of good managers themselves.

One of the biggest challenges for flatland-style organizations is getting technical people to focus on business objectives which tend to be non-fun. For software that includes fixing a lot of hard bugs and really delivering on features like complete documentation, monitoring, and good upgrades.

> The type of customer who would have bought a Prius in 2002, has moved on to EV's and PHEV's, and Toyota doesn't appear to be selling those yet

Toyota has been selling a PHEV model in the Prius line for sometime, and is replacing that model in the 2017 model year with the new Prius Prime, which is also a PHEV.

> Cheap Gasoline hasn't stopped Tesla from racking up multi-year-long waiting lists for the Model 3.

Having fairly small production numbers per year helps with racking up a multi-year-long waiting list -- the Model 3 waiting list is less than a year and half of combined sales of the Prius models in the US.

Indeed. And the problem isn't actually the work load - but the lack of appreciation and meaning, the former being connected to the latter.

In this context: "The boss, not the workload, causes workplace depression" (http://sciencenordic.com/boss-not-workload-causes-workplace-...) - EDIT: focus is on "not the workload", I believe bosses are incidental and themselves a variable very dependent on existence meaning

But even the best bosses can only do so much to make jobs that require convincing people to buy stuff you know they don't need seem meaningful.

I bet after WWII when in the war countries the part of the population that remained at home had to work their asses off to produce until then unimaginable quantities of stuff nobody was depressed. The work had meaning. After it was over it helped that they had good job and income prospects - and reasonable long-term job security too. "Flexibility" is nice for those who can afford it.

The point of defense in depth is that you should not rely solely in practice on a single defense element, but you still should strive the hardest when you design it to be sufficient if it was bug free (at least on points where it is possible given the security model, and what the technical item can address).

So splitting everything in sandboxed processes can play a big part in the security in a defense in depth approach. Of course you are not going to call it a day with just that, but still, it's extremely significant.
>How this currently works with public betas, I know not.

Not sure about iOS, but for OS X public beta user are on the beta update channel even after release. If user happen to apply for OS X 10.11 Public Beta, then user will continue to receive beta for 10.11.1, 10.11.2, and so on, but not 10.12 Public Beta. To go back to release channel, user will need to switch off the beta update channel in System Preferences.

iOS Public Beta, on the other hand, seems to go directly from beta to release, per FAQ (Developer Beta seems to be different story, though):

I think we approach this from different ends. What one can achieve (your approach here) and into which boxes of science and mathematics are relevant to the said work. Yes, one can do lot of things by fumbling in the dark, so to speak, but that does not mean it's not isomorphic to the existing theory, rather, the experimenter lacks a map from the problem she is solving to the established theory. I'm all for experimentation! It's often better to first fumble a bit and then see what others have done. But it's often hard to map the relevant problem to existing theory without examples of application. Here comes the academic training part - it's a ridiculously well established training path to a set of tools forged by the greatest minds of humans.

A programmer equipped with a bit of calculus is so much more powerfull than a programmer without. It's like one is climbing from a canyon. Both the guy with the training and the utilities and the rookie with bare hands will probably reach the top, but it takes a shorter time for the better equipped person to reach the top, and he is already tackling other interesting problems when the other finally reaches the top.

Humans have a limited time on this planet. Really, learning calculus formallly is one of the most efficient and painless boosters for productivity when creating new bicycles of the mind. It's not the only one, and it's not necessary like you pointed out, but compared to the utility it's so cheap to aquire I can't really see no reason not to force it on people. This is still my opinion, I don't have sufficient practical didactic chops to even anecdotally prove this.

Exactly. I don't drive, because I don't have to, but the vast majority of people I know live so far from their sources of income (and in some cases, grocery stores etc.) that even taking public transit, if there are routes to get them from A to B, would be laughable (i.e., 3 hours on five buses versus an hour and 10 minutes in a car on one highway to go one direction).

I'm sorry you are experiencing problems on your device/browser but I don't think it's fair to say Quill does not take mobile browsers into account.

I personally have a Nexus 7 running Android 5.1, which I use to test Chrome and Firefox. I also have an iPad and iPhone that I use to test Safari. Quill works great in all of these platforms. Quill also uses SauceLabs to automate testing of every push. I have filed browser bugs in the past on mobile Firefox, but have been told sometimes the issue is from the keyboard driver itself, which is two layers from the browser. With the distribution of Android versions and the differences between devices, it is cost prohibitive for an open source project to test and catch all Android issues.

Of course none of this explanation helps your particular situation. What you can do to help your particular situation is:

1. File a bug report so others can reproduce, identify, and fix the issue: https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/new

2. Encourage SauceLabs to support Firefox on Android as a testing platform.

It's satire. It's a way of cranking up the Sharpen filter all the way to 100, to make things more obvious. Clearly the contradiction right now is not as bad as that - but it could be, there are future timelines that could be conceived in ways similar to that.

Distain for public transport is effectively the default position for some politicians (and therefore their supporters) in some parts of the country regardless of the inefficiencies obvious during every commute. Having travelled to countries with good transit, it's so obvious that it makes more sense for urban areas. Somehow the Danes make it work out to smaller seaside towns (Helsingor to Hornbaek) but I'd settle for a few transit lines in my local urban area (3.3M).

I've often day dreamed about building a bot that sends a screenshot of traffic in Google Maps to my local representatives at 0830 and 1700 every day. Perhaps with the words "PLEASE fix my bloody commute" overlayed... the thought usually comes to me as I cross the 10 lane Wakota Bridge over the Mississippi that was recently replaced. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars, traffic still grinds to a halt at the same spot every damn day.
The thing is HD caching is extremely elastic. Memory consumption by a browser, less so (maybe even nearly not at all elastic).
