Having had to gather licenses for such legal teams, in corporations that never contributed a single comma change to any of the code they take for free, I bet in around 10 years FOSS advocates will start to miss the GPL.
It was a desktop app that was based on top of XULRunner and yes it was for profit and people payed for it. I have no experience with selling extensions but I would imagine it is a very hard market to crack unless it is targeted towards enterprise customers.

Based on my experience, I can only advise not to base your entire business model on browser extensions as you will become dependent on platform moves (again unless enterprise).
You appear to be unaware of the large industry reverse-engineering software of all sorts. You could compare comparable projects and see whether source availability correlates with fewer vulnerabilities, lower severity, etc.

Similarly, the security community has discussed the possibility of intentional vulnerabilities in opensource software for decades. Sure, someone would probably notice if you submitted secret-nsa-exploit.patch but it's unclear that someone would notice if e.g. you submitted a Heartbleed-style bug, not to mention something the NSA's dual curve backdoor.

To be clear, I've been working with open-source software since the mid-90s. I think the model has a lot to offer but it's not magic. Lazy fanboy activism doesn't do anything but lower your credibility and help the companies which are arguing that open-source isn't safe to use (or isn't safe to use without paying them to manage it).

I understand your conviction but sorry you will want to revise your outlook on this. Last attempt to explain -
suppose you can charge a cap with a high voltage source, but stop charging when it reaches a lower voltage. The cap itself is never subjected to a high voltage in this situation (this is certain). It will receive current at the voltage it is at, and the power transferred to it will be the current * its voltage. No fast charging magic present.

You cannot charge a battery or capacitor (directly) at voltages higher than their own voltage.

If source voltage is suitable, resistive current limiting is plausible, but power is dissipated by resistance (within the cap and path to it) proportional to the square of the current. This is why efficient voltage transformation is required if source has a significantly higher potential.

And this is how Mozilla goes out. Their last remaining reason for existence is being destroyed. They've already gotten rid of Thunderbird, Tab Groups, full themes, and more, but left us with the things nobody wanted (Pocket, Hello, etc.). They've also slowly let performance go in many places, seemingly.

A few years ago, I switched to Firefox for precisely the set of features they've axed. It was also much faster than the alternatives for me, used much less RAM, and rarely locked up. Since then, I've seen performance decline, RAM usage ramp up, and watched the browser lock up nearly once every hour. At this point, I'm probably just gonna go to Chrome. What's the point if Firefox is just gonna be a shitty clone?
Didn't even think about the legal aspects :) How do you think tab websites manage it? There are some that have been around for quite some time.

I'm not sure if there's any truth to these anecdotes, quite probably not but I feel they're particularly poignant given the situation:

When the U.S. first decided to send man to the moon, they spent billions of dollars inventing a pen that would write in zero gravity. Meanwhile the Russians used a pencil.

Again with the race for hacking computers in the Russian Embassy to spy on the Russians, instead of spending billions of dollars securing their computers in a cyber arms race, they switched to typewriters.

I find the simplicity in their solutions to these problems remarkably satisfying.

It is this simplicity that calls me to just say fuck it, if you're going to act like that, I'm just not playing any more. I'll go do something else interesting that doesn't involve you.

Didn't follow this whole saga but I know before Nov 8 the Donald's subreddit felt quite harassed by the mods. Allegedly they first kept changing the front page algo's just to keep the_donald off of there, then they disabled voting at times for the_donald. The_Donald was so big they could push any thread they wanted to onto the front page. Reddit has never seen such a thing I think. The thing is, it's no secret that the political views of the_donald don't match the mods.

During the last year and especially the last 6 months, it was widely known that /r/politics was basically a front for CTR. Pro-Trump posts and even Pro-Bernie to some extent were like a dog who speaks, very rare. Personally I think that the mods tried to counter balance the_donald by making sure that /r/politics was as biased in favor of Hillary as they could.

My guess is, this was the last election cycle where Reddit matters at all for Republicans because it's clear the platform doesn't like free-speech for the sake of free-speech.
It's cool project. Well done! OP

This is my first try: I tested to create a "dply" button on https://dply.co/button. I tried not to fill out the form and clicked "CREATE BUTTON". The page replied with errors and their trace. SQL statements and other Ruby keywords were shown.

I think it would be better if there is an error handler, like a warning that form is not filled out completely.

Yes you are free to starve if you choose so and keeping everyone fed is not the prerogative of a small business. That reality may sound harsh and unfair to you but it doesn't make it untrue.

Either way my experience with crappy jobs suggest that it's hard to work more hours because of overtime pay rules. You have to simply work two jobs, which is what many people at places like McDonalds do to make ends meet. All of these rules have unintended side effects.
Do you honestly believe that they didn't have existing tools for this?

Creating a Volumetric Ray Marcher
Were you just saying that for the pun?

Regardless, I wanted to point out that the title, while interesting, is hardly "click bait and switch." These birds DO have four sexes, from the point of view of their chromosomes, which results in behavioral differences between the four sexes, and produces birds that can only mate with a quarter of the entire population.

The biologist that said the "these birds act like..." quote was not the author of the paper being discussed. Also, later on he says "...in a four-sex system, each bird must work that much harder to find a mate — a white female is not just looking for a male, she needs a tan one — so selection will favour a more advantageous two-sex system instead."

So which is it? "A four-sex system" or something that "looks like a four sex system"? I think the article makes it pretty clear that it's the former.

Also, from the article: "Some animals, such as reptiles, have two sexes and no sex chromosomes, whereas the freshwater protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila has seven sexes, each of which can mate with any type except its own. Two sexes with one set of sex chromosomes is the most common arrangement, and has evolved independently many times. But there's no reason a species can't have more sex chromosomes, Wilson Sayres says. “If you've got two genes linked together that can't cross over during meiosis, and one of them plays a role in sex determination, suddenly you can have a new sex chromosome.”"

How is the title incorrect?

ArangoDB is a multi model store, which is to say it lets you store key value pairs, json documents, and graphs. (Edges are just another document with two special fields: "_from" and "_to".

My team just spent 3 weeks investigating document stores and ultimately settled on arangoDB because: 1. Graph functionality, 2. Read after write consistency, 3. Partial updates, 4. Efficient joins across shards, 5. The (limited) text search features, 6. AQL is just pretty sweet. There was a whole spreadsheet matrix but that's what I can remember without pulling it up.

We really liked RethinkDB for its change feeds. We are probably going to use Elastic for search, because we want to expose Lucene to our users, so we'll probably have to write some foxx endpoints to manage the data replication. I like the idea of foxx but really hate that it's JavaScript based. I'm planning on looking into using ScalaJS if possible.
I think there's a fair argument to say that the level of scale possible here makes this is a different situation

The difference is that they actively took steps to block our companies there, like Google, who had a fully working Chinese search engine.

I get the Realism in politics reason they did it, but it doesn't mean that we have to have to treat China with the open hearts, open doors philosophy we've been dealing with other more liberal economies.

While people should be critical, the situation we're dealing with is analogous to megaphones becoming too cheap and a large group of people deciding to troll the rest of the world. Telling everyone to use earplugs in general, and find quiet rooms to have conversations with a small selection of saner people is not the right solution here.

Besides, no problem was ever solved by saying "people should just be better"

I think we too often get caught up with language and ascribing meaning to ideas that sound like they should have meaning.

Perhaps there is no "why" of consciousness. There doesn't need to be a reason for it. If we take evolution as a given, properties of organisms arise either because having that property makes you more likely to survive in some environment, or as a side effect of other properties.

We like to think that consciousness is special, because it "feels" special. But it's likely just some consequence of complexity.

As for when it occurs, i think there's a bit too much black and white thinking going on there. For one, most people probably wrongly assume that humans are fully self aware. If you spend a minute thinking about it, you'll realise how little we're actually aware of in ourselves.
Therefore we're on some spectrum of self awareness. "Less conscious" beings would feel a little less self aware, and "more conscious" beings would be more self aware.
It's unlikely there's a defined point where you "become" self aware.

To illustrate the point. When would you say you are "drunk"?
What's the right definition of drunk?
Is it when you start to feel any effect at all?
Is it when you have the first sip?
Or is it when you can no longer walk?
Most people usually think of such words as "tipsy", which would come some time before drunk. Or maybe even "blackout" which is associated with drunk but is usually somehow more so.

What this makes clear is that there's less a problem with working out "what is consciousness and when does it happen", and more a problem of how we have evolved to discuss concepts.

This is why we're only just coming to terms with the non-binary nature of many concepts. It's not innate in us to recognise gradations. It's innate to draw lines between things and categorise them. But that doesn't mean that such classification applies so well to the universe.

The lack of type checking makes it much harder to coordinate right inputs and outputs. Doable, but makes the overhead much harder than when you do have it.
Well then maybe reddit should stop lying about what it stands for?

If it doesn't care about the principles of free speech (principles, not the amendment) then it should stop giving fake lip service to it.

Also, what you say isn't really true. 4chan does a good job of not censoring anything that isn't obviously illegal.

Any chat system built on top of the blockchain for that matter would actually be impossible to censor.

Or even just a simple email list, is in some sense an uncensored chat room.

Or text messages. Or phone calls.

All of these are in some sense, technology assisted chat services, run by private parties. And I'd describe them all as "bastions of free speech".

What if, to prevent harassment, your phone company listened to all of its customers phone calls and selective moderated them whenever you said a bad word? That is the equivalent.

Hi, I'm Alan from the ArangoDB JavaScript team.

It should be possible to use ScalaJS with Foxx as long as it is transpiled in advance and produces node-compatible modules (i.e. something that can be consumed by and can consume other node modules using `require`). I've heard of other people successfully using Babel, TypeScript and even ClojureScript with Foxx.

How to Evaluate an Initial Cryptocurrency Offering (ICO)
That's true, but though related, a separate issue.

For example. I compute a arithmetic mean of two data sets A,B yielding means a, b.

I can tell you what the difference |a-b| is without any other information, but I simply can't tell you if it is significant or not.

This has nothing to do with distribution. Given the variances, I can tell you something about the significance (at least in some senses). But without knowing the distribution I can't tell you at all how to interpret the variance.

The point is, as soon as you compute that mean, you are doing statistics. If you do it carefully, you will be able to define what the numbers mean, and what they do not. The fact that many people don't do it well does not change this.

There is no possibility of improving the situation by ignoring how the numbers were arrived at and what that actually means. Sometimes the best thing to come out of it is that you are simply calculating the wrong thing for what you want to learn.
Oh, professional courtesy, that's what we call it now. A heads up is one thing, running the details of the narrative and making sure the two line up is another. It's the journalists job to determine what stories need to be told, not the campaign directors.
I have not used Arango in production although I evaluated it and exchanged a few emails with Claudius.

I see a number of reasons why ArangoDB might be more interesting than Rethink:

1) Arango is a multi model database with graph, noSQL, and key-value pairs. Even if Rethink has joins and complex queries, it will never be as flexible for general data modelling.

2) Foxx is a logical layer on top of the database. While it's limited compared to a classic server side application it offers way more flexibility than Rethink could ever.

3) Arango (or Foxx) don't offer realtime data like Rethink or Firebase, but quite frankly there are few cases where such feature is needed.

On our project we are probably going to use DreamFactory instead of Arango because we are more comfortable with SQL dbs and it has a number of other valuable features over Arango.
Is there a reason a both approach wasn't pursued with the current method being marked unsafe but still available for use? A la Rust mixing code but having to explicitly mark unsafe bits.
