It's a mix. Some patches are just getting rebased and landed. For others, the Firefox and Tor Browser teams are working together to re-implement the feature in a way that makes more sense in the broader Firefox architecture.

For example, for First Party Isolation, we took the "origin attributes" feature that we built to support containers (user-specified tracking limitations) and reused it for isolation. In the containers case, origins get tagged with a user-specified label; with First Party Isolation, they get tagged with the top-level origin.

And to be clear, there's no "neutering" going on here. We're adding the full features that Tor Browser has, since the whole point of this exercise is to let Tor Browser user preference changes instead of patches. That means that the full capability of the Tor Browser features are in Firefox if users want to enable them.
Melbourne to Singapore recently was 7+h with no included food, only dubious snacks Easyjet-style. And in contradiction to another comment here, the email confirming my booking explicitly stated that no outside food and drink was allowed on-board. It's anyone's guess how,well that's enforced, but on first evaluation, if that's not extortion, I don't know what is.
Awesome... any plans to let others contribute ambient/other effects? If you allow monetization, you could take a cut as well per sale.

Long term, as others have asked, would like to see a "timeline effects" editor. Given an audio clip, allow for the insertion/removal/overlay of effects at various time points. Make the export/import of these "timeline effects" possible via some format. Once rendered, it is no longer needed, but the timeline definition file would be nice to have for sharing during the creation phase, and for subsequent regeneration.

You aren't calculating patent terms correctly. For patents filed before June 8, 1995, the patent is valid for the longer of 20 years from filing or 17 years from granting.

Patents filed after June 8, 1995, it's 20 years from filing dating.

All of this is shortened if the patent claims priority to an earlier patent.

And it's possible to get an extension under § 156 of the Patent Act.

Ask HN: Constant Captcha with Tor?
Good Day Hacker News,

I was wondering if any other Tor users had noticed the prevalence of Captcha checks when using the Tor Browser?

I recently began using it more heavily, and I find that nearly every website I go to stops me with a Captcha request before showing me the page.

Any thoughts on this? Suggestion on how to reduce the number of times Captcha asks me fore "Click the Squares with Road signs"?

Any time I hear about a health related app, I have to reread "The Anorexic Startup" [0]. It's cautionary and it pokes (gentle) fun at our industry. If you're in the mood for a bit of humor today, it's a fun read.

i had mine taken out with local+nitrous (as opposed to going completely under) because the anesthesiologist wasn't in that day (apparently an oral surgeon can do the gas, but not the knockout drugs). i remember the whole thing. it was surprising how much force they used but other than that it was fine. i remember i had my ipod with me and tripped out to music while getting my face drilled.

as an adult it's probably better because there's no recovery time, they just take the nitrous away and you're good to drive yourself home (or to the pharmacy, to pick up your pain meds that you're definitely going to need) 2 minutes later.

the 2-3 weeks following extraction are 1000x worse than the actual procedure, which isn't bad at all.

It's pocket money and according to the article it decreases the other benefits you get, so I'm not really sure how much people actually gain in terms of their available assets. I guess it's mostly about getting that money without having to fight bureacracy that normally occurs with some gig based jobs etc.
I hope that's sarcasm. There have been problems with macOS (OS X at the time) all the way back to public beta including sluggishness pre-Intel transition.

It was (and still is) a great OS to use - but to pretend that pre 2007 existed a time where everything was perfect and no problems existed is absurd.
Are you replying only to the comment, or to the article as well? Because the article makes the point that these basic fares are simply a way to increase prices.

As for your reaction to the comment: you make really great points while maybe neglecting to acknowledge that many services are cheaper at scale. So by providing them to everyone as part of a bundle, the overall cost is way lower for everyone.

The iPhone might be a great example of this.

> money "saved" is usually invested, and that too stimulates an economy -- and probably more meaningfully long-term.

Money gets very tricky at scale. If "money" means "paper bills" and "saved" means "sitting in a warehouse", then no, saving enormous amounts of money will not make you richer or improve your future. You can't eat bills—or bitcoins. And indeed, if enough people decide to hold onto large amounts of cash, it makes it harder to trade.

Can this really happen? Sure. When the market looked like it was about to crash in 2008, I moved my investments out of index funds and into cash equivalents. Now, this might have been a dumb move—but I'm not the only one who panicked and invested very conservatively. As a result of this, it became much harder for even solvent businesses to get short-term loans to pay for inventory, etc.

Or we could use a really simple model to visualize this: Imagine that the entire economy consists of (vertically integrated) restaurants. When the economy goes to hell in a hand-basket, people will do two things: (1) eat out less, and (2) try to get more hours at work. Obviously if nobody eats out, the restaurant will not be offering anybody very many hours!

What's happening here is that a sudden change in risk tolerance drops the total demand for goods and services below what the economy is capable of producing, while increasing the number of people who want jobs. When demand is lower than production capacity, we'll produce less than we can, and fewer jobs will be available. Apparently, you need a reasonable balance between the number of people who want to work, and the quantity of goods we want to consume.

Now, is any of this true? Who knows. The Keynesians certainly think so, and their model does explain some things. (Krugman, who's a Keynesian when he's not a political commentator, gives his own personal favorite introduction here: http://www.pkarchive.org/theory/baby.html) Other economists disagree. And of course, it's also possible that the Keynesians were correct about the exceptional events of 1929 and 2008, but that their theory is irrelevant in ordinary economic times. But the key takeaway is that money is weird at scale—because it's basically an illusion, among other things—and that you shouldn't expect personal intuitions from your day-to-day life to always apply in obvious ways.

The algorithm to rotate images can be illustrated by running

/usr/lib/xscreensaver/blitspin

blitspin - rotate a bitmap in an interesting way

The blitspin program repeatedly rotates a bitmap by 90 degrees by using logical operations: the bitmap is divided into quadrants, and the quad‐ rants are shifted clockwise. Then the same thing is done again with progressively smaller quadrants, except that all sub-quadrants of a given size are rotated in parallel. So this takes O(16×log2(N)) blits of size NxN, with the limitation that the image must be square, and the size must be a power of 2.

Movie here, for those without XScreenSaver installed:

Sweet project. The equalizer is going to make it seem a little repetitive, but I'm sure you've got other equalizers planned.

A lyrics-based music video generator would be a cool thing to tackle, although that'd require timestamping.
Actually this is right, so the information in the article is somewhat incorrect. Thanks for spotting this!
There is however an issue with the ActiveMQ implementation: once a user is assigned to a consumer, it is hard to make ActiveMQ rebalance it. At least by default the load-balancing does not take place until a consumer is dead. In case of a chat bot, some users may be returning, while others may quickly go away, leading to drastic imbalances. Apollo does the balancing perfectly out-of-the-box.
The problem I'm finding with graphics work is that I'm more and more relying on scripted tasks to complete things efficiently or get around deficits in Adobe's software. I'd move to Windows, but I can't imagine giving up how easy a Unix-like environment makes things.
No one is complaining about not getting food on a 1-2 hour flight.

Many of us routinely take plane flights that are longer than two hours. A cross country flight is 5-6 hours plus 2 hours at the airport before and often a half hour after to get checked baggage. That's an 8-hour day.

Sitting on a cramped airplane for 5-6 hours is pretty unpleasant already. Doing it hungry doesn't improve the experience.
I spend most of the time in terminals and text editors and, quite frankly, the only things favoring the Mac are the high-dpi built-in screen and the touchpad gestures. The only thing favoring Linux is the select-middle-click thing. Everything else is more or less the same.
Of course, every one knows, sky marshals and enforced cockpit doors keep bombs out of the plane...

Of course you can always do better. But compared to Europe, I've found the TSA to be very quick working and quite friendly. I worried a bit after reading so many bad articles, but then wondered that most of them kept smiling and being polite despite their intense work.

A more subtle bug: go to page broke. Before the update, going to page 100 in a textbook would consistently get you to the page labeled 100. Now it takes you to the hundredth physical page, which thanks to the cover, toc, etc. is probably not where you wanted to go.

Not a huge deal, but just another thing it used to do better than the competition and now doesn't.

Mercurial and bzr have those sequential numbers. They really aren't the awful apocalyptic problem that git users seem to think they are. bzr tries harder to make them sequential and meaningful, but even hg's more lax approach to revision numbers is still useful: they are still approximately semantic, much more than node hashes.

Considering the Ankara Assassination Photos as History Painting (2016)
I think America should look into the point to point system that Istanbul developed (and likely other places) called the dolmuş. These are 10 seat cars where people split the price to move along one line. (People will usually go end to end, but can get out along the ride as desired.) The route never deviates as to provide predictability.

That said, most people take cabs because they don't want to be around other people -- else, they would take the subway, no?

Same experience here: Lots of confusing mails after my submission, needed to re-submit a few times, and never received a notification about my extension going live. I wouldn't have noticed the Safari Extensions menu item without watching WWDC videos, anyway.

On the Mac App Store, besides copy-pasting some Swift/Objective-C, you also need to come up with a UI for your app. It'll probably be a storyboard with a single window that lets users know how to activate your extension, but getting the details right without prior experience in Cocoa development will eat some of your precious dev time.

It's public domain, see also:

http://patents.stackexchange.com/questions/5766/is-an-expire...

The idea of a patent is that for a given number of years your invention is protected, even if public, you cannot re-patent it "as is" (as it would not be anymore new or non-obvious) but you can sometimes patent a derivative (like an improvement of the same base idea).

The generic issue may be that often behind something there can be a number of patents, often interlinked, so it is far from easy to determine whether you can "use" that expired patent.

Ah good old mIRC bots. Same here man. Except mine were mIRC "mud" games.

Very quickly i wrote a very large game from scratch teaching myself all sorts of concepts. It wasn't impressive at all, but oddly i'm quite impressed that i was able to "learn as you go" a semi-advanced project with such a simple language.

I'm not likely to ever be considered a virtuoso or anything, quite ordinary infact, which then means that mIRC's scripting language and documentation must have been very friendly for a complete beginner to program a virtual environment with state, rooms, "ai" traveling between rooms, and etc. It was far more than a hello world, and all thanks to mIRC it seems.

Ah, the good ol' days.
