And yet according to these sources[0][1], Firefox is back this year in Pwn2own. A quote from [1]:

> "Mozilla improved their security enough for us to warrant their re-inclusion in the contest," Gorenc said.

Firefox is fine. Like in every other browser, when security problems are found, they are fixed. There's a lot of work going into making Firefox a great and secure browser, and to call for abandoning it en masse is unwarranted IMO.

Edit: Heck, isn't it your own link[2] that claims that one of the security problems with Tor is their homogeny, that they all use the same browser and version? By that logic, abandoning Firefox is a bad move for overall security.

Indeed, I second that the time is now. There are several imaging modalities/organs that provide diagnostic information about a variety of human functions or diseases. For example, retina is a unique organ that is amenable to imaging of central nervous system, cardio-vascular system, and microvasculature without any incision. This allows us to detect, screen, monitor, and predict risk for diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and even cardio-vascular risk, Alzheimer's, and stroke.

If this interests you and you have developed the expertise, there is another startup opportunity to explore -- please email me at solanki@eyenuk.com. We are bunch of machine learning PhDs, developing/publishing and commercializing deep learning algorithms for disease/risk identification from retinal photography. We play with millions of retinal images, and it's a lot of fun!
This is a good point. If it was known to be a popular vote from the beginning, the strategy of the campaigns would have been different, so it's difficult to tell what would have happened. It seems common sense, but thanks for this input because it pulled my brain out of a bubble for a moment.

It's not about discarding what every scientist says. It's discarding the scientists that say things incompatible with his political opinions.

If a scientist pursues a line of work that might end up contradicting the GOP party line, they're immediately disqualified as a scientist. To him, that proves the scientist is motivated purely by political or financial gain.

Slavery was added to the Articles and Constitution because South Carolina's support was deemed as critical to the rebellion against Britain.

The other colonies begrudgingly added this, opting for changes to the wording of the clause to enshrine slavery into the constitution, and did everything they could to violate their constitution until South Carolina wrote them back saying it is best if South Carolina exited.

Why not show a statement like they do with copyright removal requests and indicate to the user that there are flagged results in the search query, but give the option to view the results anyway? At least in that respect, they don't re-enforce the notion that news is being censored at the request of some third party or that Google is taking the vigilante route to culling fake news.
Can't these things be learned by reading?
> They also backed EME,

No they didn't. They argued and fought against EME until it was clear that there was no way they would win. At that point they implemented it so that they could stay relevant, without it their market share would be even lower and they'd have zero chance of getting market share again.

And market share isn't a "corporate" concern, it is vital to their non-profit mission.

All that being said, that doesn't mean I'm happy with everything they do. Just arguing on that one point.

Food logging is a main entrance for household "ERP". If being implemented right, there are so many potential use cases. But I guess it's easier to extend from those chained things behind the entrance to the entrance instead of extending from the entrance. Anyway, it's good to see there are someone working on the hard part of food logging.

Not this. ACE inhibitors tend to cause a cough. You tend to get this side effect pretty quickly. It doesn't just occur randomly months or years after starting the drugs unless of course something else changes in your health.

I don't think we'll create anything radically different enough to not be beautiful.

Modifying what already exists is usually easier than creating something from nothing, and I would expect that to apply for engineering new organisms.

If you mean will the ecosystems be beautiful to us, as in, will a forest in a space station really be a forest, or more of a gaudy tourist attraction and/or a sterile research environment, I'm hopeful that we'll choose to include some allowance for beauty in our planning.

Kim Stanley Robertson's Mars trilogy touches on these themes a lot, and I'm also drawing to some degree from the Culture series' vision of orbitals. We're clearly centuries (at least) from being able to build orbitals, but I think far smaller ring structures - and even more likely mere two-body tether set ups - may be just decades ahead.

The main problem with Q is the users. Most users are math grads first, programmers second. They don't use version control. They don't comment their code.

Yes Q is dense but it can be annotated with comments.

Interesting that you call it new. In industrial textile manufacturing, vacuum tables have been around for a long, long time. It doesn't matter if your leather is perforated or your upholstery is somewhat porous, or even if your foam is open-cell: A differential of just a few PSI, multiplied by width, multiplied by height, results in a lot of holding power.
I don't know - if you're at all in a profession that requires problem solving, it can be quite jarring to work with a doctor.

For any given complaint, most will just tell you that your test results are in the normal range (don't get me started on this "normal range") and tell you there's nothing they can do.

I live in the bay area and have had a few GPs over the years, some from well known institutions.

Doctor's seem to put in the minimal amount of effort to get you out of their office in the allotted 20 minutes so that they can move on to the next patient.

I have multiple anecdotes similar to OP's - times where if it weren't for my insisting or my own inkling to visit a specialist I just would never have been helped.

Are there goood GP's? I'm sure there are - but to casually dismiss OP's statement is a bit ironic - since casually dismissing is part of the biggest problems as far as my own experience with doctors.

Cognitive elite or financial elite. The rich get to send their kids to private schools. Smart poor kids get locked into mediocre public schools with reducing standards. Rich parents pass on their wealth at a lower tax rate.

While the album is based off the Postman novel I think Waters deserves a lot of credit for expanding on the theme and conveying the idea in a remarkable piece of work.

Whenever fellow Pink Floyd fans ask me what my favorite Pink Floyd album is I always tell them Amused to Death. I understand it's not technically Pink Floyd but it is Roger Waters at the height of his Jedi Powers and Jeff Beck's performance is amazing.

> 2) One process per tab. Even with e10s, all javascript in all tabs runs on a single core. So at the moment, using Firefox on an 8 core computer is like using Chromium on a single core machine.

This is how you get the Roman/Parisian mobs that were the downfall of the Roman and French Republics. All you have to do is promise the mob everything and they'll give you the support to suppress the provinces. The Founders had the Roman example to draw on, as well as Venice's devolution into an urban oligarchy.
Sure. And most of us would be super keen to use that. In fact, ED doctors in particular use heaps of things like that. Maybe instead of rule systems we will eventually use deep learning algorithms.
Most of problems pointed by the article are related to javascript and the DOM model, JQuery just provides a very useful function set and interoperability between browsers.
Look at the prize money for Firefox, lowest of them all.
I think this proves my original point.

TBB is routinely attacked by nation states and other government groups. In that context, homogeneity is an important factor since they only have one target to focus on and considerable resources to use. By the way this is also another point against someone using Firefox. By choosing Firefox, you are choosing a browser that __you know__ is actively targeted by nation states and government groups, because it's used in TBB. You can safely assume said groups have multiple Firefox 0days.

My original point however is not that Firefox is insecure vs nation-grade attackers. __Every browser is__

There are plenty of criminal groups (ever increasing) and actors with limited resources that will focus on Firefox because it's easy to exploit. The fricking FBI was owning people with a Firefox 0day. The same groups would find Chrome or Edge too hard. This is of course a personal evaluation, given what I know from conversations with people in the security domain.

Let me leave you with this piece of (anecdotal) information: In my last job, we used to have new hires for exploit development pick a browser to work on for the first few months. Expectation being remote exploits, lots of them.

Most of them picked Firefox.
You just gave details on how and why they flipped their stance on EME. And you're essentially saying they traded market share for their principles about free internet. You're basically agreeing with me.

> At that point they implemented it so that they could stay relevant,

...instead of fighting it without giving up.

> And market share isn't a "corporate" concern

This literally makes 0 sense to me. Do you actually believe this?
Market share share is vital to Mozilla Corporation's business, which they have been using to cut million dollar deals with Yahoo, Google, etc. I don't wanna go all the want and say "you're the product", but they basically monetize their collective user base. So regardless of how they/you spin it, I don't buy that it's not a corporate concern.

Same as always: take a complicated, expensive product, strip it down to an MVP, put it online for free with a SaaS price tag for premium features, and market it like hell.
> Just two minor points - be careful not to treat "agricultural goods" and "food" as the same. As one example, the US is a major (THE major) producer and exporter of corn...but a dizzying amount of that corn is NOT for direct human consumption. It's largely animal feed, and a few industrial uses.

Oh, totally. Corn, specifically, has a really interesting history in grading, purpose, and politics in America. A lot of corn growing is meant to keep supply of other good down, that is, if the farm is not just paid to _not grow_ at all.

> The US is great (climate-wise) for producing corn, soybean, etc, but there are some OTHER foods that we are less good at producing than other countries, be it climate or infrastructure.

That's somewhat true, but becomes more true in time with repeat yield of nitrogen-fed corn production. That's mostly infrastructure though (with some time to rotate and repair soil).

> Basic trade principles show that it's better all around if everyone focuses on their specialties and trades rather than each trying to be fully self-sufficient.

Better "all around" for market efficiency in international-driven trade. The market in New York State could be optimized for specialized production that would well-exceed its own demand (with a couple areas of Long Island converting from specialty/rare goods to more general production).

> So it's a bit simplistic to say our grocery prices will rise only to the point where it makes sense to switch to domestic production...that switch implies a lot of inefficiencies, which means that there is an upper cap on how much prices can rise, but not that we want to get to that point.

You said it -- there is a huge amount of waste and risk in going international with product, so producers will go domestic at the earliest point possible. Foodtech (why I've done research into this topic) is really fascinating because of the complexity and fuzzy political costs.
The parties may of run entirely different candidates if it was a popular vote as well. They would likely hold entirely different policy positions as a party.

Chris, are you familiar with Soviet books? If not: I urge you to consider taking a look at these (library, maybe) to get a taste.

Side note: the first few pages of Landau & Lifschitz (vol I) made me cry and feel weak in the knees so much that I had to sit down. I'm being literal in my description: tears in my eyes, and unable to stand.

mirtitles.org offers a collection of such books. You could also look on archive.org. "MIR Publishers" is the name you're looking for.

I also bought a steam controller too and i stopped using it because the mouse joystick is pretty bad for fps games (IMO).

The mouse joystick is not very sensitive to slight movements of my thumbs. Thus, its basically impossible for sniping. It is possible to configure the joystick like a normal gamepad joystick but then I require really low sensitivity to aim well.

I figure it would work better on other kinds of games. Probably my favorite feature of the controller is that u can make the controller aim the camera with movement. Thus moving the controller up moves the camera up :D.
What this probably leads to is scientists losing their jobs or their willingness to work in the US. Under the current president their only option seems to be to move to another country where they can do their work and discuss their findings in public. Science with a political filter is no longer science but only politics with the illusion of factual justification...
Fair. Are there any other examples? Firefox pushed Fetch and SW. Also grid, I think, though ICBW there.
True. Can you apply that to this example?
The test results list the 95% confidence interval range for the population the sample they used to calibrate the test is theoretically representative of. That's not the same thing as normal.
I don't think that is fair. I think Doctors would love to use a technology to help them with diagnosis, particularly if it can corroborate an uncertain diagnosis. But I think there are a lot of liability problems with systems that try to provide a definitive diagnosis, as well as issues of patient trust.
> the median doctor is pretty worthless

This seems fairly disrespectful. I suppose you mean that the median doctor isn't perfect, but do you have any idea how many hours residents put in? You might think carefully before calling the median one worthless, and ask whether they're really, truly wasting their lives in the service of others.

Less emotionally, I find it hard to believe that half of doctors proved essentially no benefit.

> it's a side effect that's been widely known since the 1970's

Guess how many side effects have been widely known since the 1970's?

For clarity: I am 100% in favor of thinking critically about a doctor's advice, having received contradictory diagnoses before.

Your problem with doctors sounds like it's their time constraint. Why don't you pay a bit more to get a longer consult? You want them to work magic in 20 minutes?

I responded to OP's statement. Dismissing is quite different.
> It can build stuff using a range of tools with a precision of less than five millimeters

So a precision of 10 millimeters, or worse than that? Obvious lexical ambiguity aside, I wonder what they're doing to drop the precision of that ABB arm so far. It looks like it's built around an off-the-shelf IRB2400 to me, which comes from the factory with a repeatability of 0.06mm. 5mm might be an approachable number to a civil engineer, framing carpenter, or bricklayer, but it's not impressive at all in robotics.

Also, the Thinkpad T430 and W540 made me smile. So much more appropriate for this bot than the Macbooks or iPads you see in so many videos.
Not so. Until the early 1900's, the interpretation of the Bill of Rights was strictly on the behavior of the federal government.
Yeah, I have the feeling that people view from Wyoming to West Virginia as one giant smoking pit crawling with Uruk Hai Trump voters.

This is related to an observation I've made before.

Name any country that's been as functional as the United States has been, given our size, and especially given the enormous amount of diversity we have?

We've been doing the grinding, painful and hard work of real national diversity, at scale, for hundreds of years.

We've gotten it wrong a lot; we're still getting a lot of it wrong.

But here we are, perhaps the most vibrant, large population in the world. We have a lot of problems...more problems now than we had 10 or 15 years ago.

But damn it, looking back, it's really an amazing thing we've accomplished.

Trump seems to be, more than anything, an agent of chaos. I suspect his presidency will harm us. But we've handling a lot worse in the past, from within and from without.

Indeed, I like to think that the beautiful and painful results of our centuries long diversity have made us exceptionally strong.
Although I admit I couldnt be bothered to look at their methodology, it could be the case this is marketing type sites and not web applications. Doesn't make it any less valid, just less valid for SPAs perhaps.
Spiral rebar layouts are very common in circular columns, especially in area of high seismic activity. It's a bit more difficult to manufacture than the alternative (evenly-spaced "hoops"), but it gives the column higher ductility during a failure event so that the affected people inside/on the structure have more time to escape.

Edit: I have to admit, I didn't look too closely at the photo until just now. That is a weird thing they're doing, but I could see it possibly being useful for fancy architectural columns, even decorative ones. (I suppose that sort of application is where they're likely to find early adopters.)
