"Burst" reminds me of an Eve Online star chart. Bonus points. To me it represents linked entities, connections, unity, and the Internet more than the others. I dig the colors against dark backgrounds too. But...

While typing this on Firefox mobile (just installed to reevaluate), I must use portrait mode for my keybpard to work, my on-screen nav buttons are not redrawing because my screen lock activated w/FF up causing a bug to manifest, and I'm only here on HN because the sites I intended to browse won't load or perform very poorly, one site linked from an article had a 1 min load time, and video plays at ~3fps on any site.) After I type this I'm returning to mobile Chromium, even though I hate Google. I feel like just throwing this phone at the moment. Some user experience.

Is a logo going to correct this? Same reasons I've evaluated and dismissed FF for years now.

That, and I am attached to the damn Firefox, they're killing my favorite software mascot of all time.

Heck, I'm done typing, I get a half second delay every time I backspace and my on-screen arrows which magically reappeared a second ago are behaving randomly (i.e., jumping right one word and one space when I hit hit left once.) T9 would have been easier. Off to remove блядь FF... Congrats on like half a logo design though Moz, I'm sure it will solve your problems, lol. Maybe try not letting your enemy choose the battles, push for usable and accessible standards that aren't designed to sell us more middleware and Enterprise Edition duct tape.
Could AI be used to simply monitor markets & look for asset bubbles forming? Just to give a warning sign to regulators?
I haven't applied for a job in over a decade but when I have a peruse of job listing websites in the US of A I'm always amazed when the only salary information is "extremely competitive" and "excellent benefits". I've heard people argue that a reputable company will pay market rates and that's all you need to know - but I totally disagree.

If I ever found myself back on the job market (unlikely, so perhaps I'll change my tune if it happened) I wouldn't ever apply for a job that didn't post a salary.

As the previous poster pointed out - in the UK the vast majority of jobs are posted with a salary. All the way up to C-level positions. I don't know about you, but the main reason I work is to get paid! So if a company isn't upfront about this primary benefit, I'm not going to engage with them.
Correlation suggests causation, but does not prove it.
I am running a popular website. In 2008, Firefox made up for over 80% of my users. Then Chrome came along, using all cpus and cores of the computer it runs on. A huge performance advantage. Firefox usage started to decline. Year after year, they added features, branding, etc. Never addressed the performance issue. Now Firefox is used by less then 10% of my users. And even with E10s, Firefox uses only one core for all scripts in all tabs. It even gets completely clogged up if there is one slow script in some tab.

I would love to know how the roadmap is decided on over at Mozilla. Everybody I talk to says "Nah, it's slow. I use Chrome". Yet they did never address it. Why?

The BBC is forbidden from undertaking any commercial activity within the UK in their charter. While obviously quite integral to the way the BBC works and is able to work, this is a weird side-effect of that restriction.

Mozilla's focus and the core of their platform is the open web. The products are tools to get there.

Firefox lost the majority of its market-share (and hence, influence of web standardization) to mobile devices, which necessitated Firefox OS. It was not a side project. They poured almost everything they had into it and still failed.
It seems to me, but the main question is... would it be useful?
The AWS web console is a pain point. I had a particularly frustrating experience once where attempting to restore a Glacier storage class file in S3 silently failed due to permission issues (I had forgotten to assign permissions to the bucket owner in my automated upload script), but the console told me that the file would be "available in 3-5 hours". I wasted days due to this.

Meanwhile other competitors (e.g. Nearline) promise to have your file available within seconds...

In German we have the two adjectives "einsam" (lonely) and "allein" (alone), and I guess the second one goes with solitude. So the concepts are there.
> "F.B.I. agents on the case, advised by N.S.A. technical experts, do not believe Mr. Martin is fully cooperating, the officials say. He has spoken mainly through his lawyers"

As is his right and what every sensible entirely innocent individual in his position should be doing. If the government (at any level from civic to federal to international) arrests you for any crime with serious charges, it is ABSOLUTELY the most prudent thing to communicate solely through your lawyers.

There is too great of a risk of being convicted due to doubt and natural human inconsistency otherwise.

For anyone that doubts how even the most innocent person can be convicted for not heeding this advice, there is a hilarious and content-dense lecture on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGgKLgVNfAo
If it is any consolation: In Germany people are going to prison because they refuse to pay the mandatory "television tax" despite not having a TV (or any interest in watching the garbage that ARD and ZDF produce).

Meanwhile, the top bureaucrats of ARD/ZDF earn salaries in the region of EUR 600000 per year.

I think the empirical evidence is quite clear that people want to have cameras and use them to take photos of their surroundings. They've been doing it for over a hundred years (Kodak founded in 1888), since well before they could add retro filters to those photos. Retro filters may or may not be a fad, but camera phones are not.
What I am about to say is no solution, but: I can't quite understand why don't people don't begin by trying and make a basic YouTube video about this subject.

Don't want the tradition to fade? Spread it as much as possible.
Like, every golf course here in Shenzhen, which the lowest cost deal for a membership is over $100,000 USD for the entry-level membership, and if you want access to the elite courses, you're going to pay more than $350,000 initial fee to join. After meeting this initial fee hurdle, then you get to pay the monthly maintenance fees ~$1000 USD and also additional green fees on the weekends, if you didn't buy in at the highest level. There is definitely a market for real life premium social clubs but I'll be suprised if it translates to an app.
So? Nobody disagrees on the fact that there is a problem. Putting blame on people won't solve the problem. It will piss people off. People you want on your side, enthusiastically solving the problem. Your attitude is actually dangerous and counterproductive to solving the problem.

This toxic culture is a big part why we are in this mess. Who in their right mind would want to try work on OpenSSL to improve it while being called an idiot? Who'd be willing to stand up for the project as a representative? Speak out for the project?

>> Not everyone can be a software engineer, and even if they could, we probably wouldn't need 7 billion of them.

If we all put our backs into it, we can make sure that we need at least that many.

We just have to write really bad documentation and really sloppy code, which lot of people believe we are doing already.

With a bit of effort maintaining the software being written today will become such a monumental task that no Soft Eng will ever be out of work for millenia to come.
Interplanetary Lobbing
I'm not sure, but I think it's the tories' bizarre fixation with making the BBC terrible in order to prove that state funded things are worse than their private sector counterparts.

You see it every now and again when they want to apply even more rules to prevent the BBC making programmes they think might be successful/popular[1]

In the UK high school math is really a preparation for a hard science/engineering degree, and there's a lot more calc than stats in hard science/engineering.

That's why calc is central. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same in the US.

This means most people have no idea what the math they learn is used for, because they never reach a level where they have to use it.

So they leave school with the idea that math is annoying bullshit that they don't understand and can't use.

I think it would be better to stream math by ability much earlier. Make everyday math compulsory for everyone - interest rates and loans, basic stats, currency rates, areas/volumes, simple trig, maybe some slightly more advanced finance, perhaps touch on some calc ideas.

Only teach calc and scientific math to those with the talent and interest for it. Give everyone else a taste so they understand a little, but don't try and get them ready for a career they'll never go into.

Apple are well known for being ridiculously paranoid about products being leaked before their announcement, so much so that at one point they put eye-height frosting (not the cake type) on the glass walls to stop people accidentally looking in to the factory floor.

My bag was checked once in the 5 weeks I worked there - on the way in. The passwords I created for their new servers (containing metrics from the factory's build and test processes) was at one point walking around Cork in their admin's wallet. I used my own laptop (because OSX bleugh) plugged straight into their corporate lan.

But they did have a room which was out of bounds.

Nobody gets security right, however "high security" they think they are.

Oh and let's not get started on what the MoD thinks it's achieving in its immigration office.
It's hard to imagine this as anything other than a quick cash-grab, especially with all of the bad copywriting on the site:

"One-third of your membership is donated to charities helping kids living in poverty to study."

"Everyone can have an account on Instagram, but only really rich can afford their profile here..."

This is especially notable given that there are only about 100 words of content.

And who actually believes that they are going to give 1/3 of their profits with so little transparency about where it is going? It just reads as a cynical and dishonest hedge against all of the criticism that they will inevitably get.

there are a lot of open source projects which do miracles with less than 1% of what Mozilla earns each year

There's none maintaining and improving a complete web engine though.

I mean if you could do this on 1% of Mozilla's funds you'd have more Opera's. That's pre-Blink Opera's, mind you, because even they gave up on it.
I remember reading about the Mozilla rebranding some months ago in a random online forum. Someone there made a better logo as a joke:

In 2003, 15000 Baath Party members were dismissed from their posts in Iraqi government ministries because of their 'evil' political affiliation.

Within two years 9000 of them had been rehired to try to repair the damage that their dismissal had caused.

Sometimes one just has to be pragmatic and put subjective opinion aside. Such tolerance doesn't equate to approval.

FWIW; in the current software you have to opt into "fleet learning". So the car will not participate in data gathering unless you actively turn it on.

>I tend to think carefully..

What about a team? If you are leading a team of programmers, would you rather use Rust (where finding if the code is doing anything unsafe using a simple grep) or C++ where finding dangerous code is a lot harder?

I think the point of using langauges like Rust and Haskell only comes into play when the development is done by a team. It is one thing to hope that every one in your team is as disciplined as yourself (including yourself on a bad day), and knowing for certain that the language won't allow bad stuff to happen...
Yes, Really, and I am sure there are some people who have had no problems. That doesn't invalidate the countless hours I spent making this dreadful system work. Did you put it on your build server without installing Visual Studio on it?
Well, there is just one way to find out...
Agree on that. Would however love to read about some confirmed info whether AI/NeuronalNets/BigData really plays a significant role for any of the current automatized drive developments. And how this fits together with safety regulations (ISO26262, ASIL) and the required deterministic behavior.

I'd advise others on this thread, who tend to dismiss the difficulty of vision, to realize that techniques in ML and Deep-learning are very problem specific and not the holy grail of AGI they're made out to be.
I'm sad I spent any time learning the project.json format. I wish I could dotnet migrate those brain cells back and free up some memory.
It's not just change. It's difficult to make it work for a single version. It was difficult back when the build tools were a handful of powershell scripts. It was difficult when they moved to the dotnet tooling.

Microsoft shouldn't push out an RTM product and call the broken bits "Preview" to absolve themselves of the responsibility to deliver a reliable product.

I was evangelical about .NET Core. I stuck with it for years. I stuck with it when Damian admitted that he "doesn't build web apps". I stuck with it during the Release Candidates. It's only when they pushed this out the door and called it RTM that the penny dropped and I accepted the project had been mismanaged.

Is a logo going to correct this?

No. You should file bugs in Bugzilla, in this case with the phone model and which keyboard (3rd party or not), so we can investigate and fix. It obviously isn't supposed to behave that way.

I think the comparison to google translate is interesting. How much confidence do you have that a translation by google translate is correct? How would you compare the complexity of translating documents between various languages to the complexity of driving a car in arbitrary environments and situations. And the most interesting think: Would you trust your life on google translate? At least in the sense that it does not corrupt the meaning of a translated text (small errors ok)?
Not sure I follow that ontology as that doesn't necessarily make something a cloud. API's to interact with the ecosystem make it more like a cloud.
Whilst I understand DO have API's, just saying the machine can be dynamically resized doesn't justify the cloud tag. Cloud doesn't need to be virtual, either.

For that matter, I would be very surprised if a non-functioning Apple Watch could be repaired easily 50 years from now.

Mechanical watches are easily "debuggable" and repairable since they are very... physical in nature. A set of small hand tools and a good magnifier usually suffice; and even parts no longer available can be relatively easily fabricated --- maybe even more easily with future technologies.
The Failure of the Euro
Which is also what the standard bodies, mainly 3GPP, that produces all the technical documents for these systems (architecture, protocol specs., functional behavior, frequencies, coding schemes, security algorithms and so on) calls their technology.

We can only go by what you write, and you are making a more thoughtful point now. I do not think, however, that you can exclude "precisely defined textbook words" when the issue is whether natural language is necessarily imprecise (not that my textbook example is only about word definitions, FWIW.)
This invites a kind of trolling. Imagine a bunch of people down-vote a comment quickly (justified or not), making it hard to read. Later readers who may have different opinions are discouraged from expressing them (up-voting) because the comment has become so hard to read it may not get read.
And even with E10s, Firefox uses only one core for all scripts in all tabs.

This is "dom.ipc.processCount". My understanding is that it'll be defaulted to >1 in Nightly soonish. For most people it "just works".

Judgement of parenting from a single event is arbitrary at best and criminal at worst. Child Protection Services investigated my mother and accused her of burning me with a cigarette (it was a mosquito bite, I'm allergic to their anticoagulant) but years later turned me in to her custody, told me 'back in my day' stories and treated me as a trouble making 'runaway' after witnesses described her physically attacking me with punches, threatening me with a handgun, and swinging a stoneware coffee mug at my head. My great grandmother however was kind, had 14 kids, 7 survived. That was farm life then... I wonder how she'd have been judged today? Investigated for abuse, neglect, or murder? My mother's A-OK though apparently. We don't speak.
