With the native iOS app being released in 2012, the timeline would be perfect for that, yeah.

Does the mobile app take away that much usage from the web? I can see how it'll increase overall usage as people will use FB when they otherwise couldn't, but I imagine anyone who could be using it on a computer will still use the web version over a mobile app (web seems more functional, especially so with the recent Facebook/Messenger division).

I wonder why the downvote for my question. It was not the tone, I hope.
If the low budget Chinese vendors don't have repair manuals or authorised repaid centres, they don't need to do anything under this law.

This law is pretty much "give us access to what you already give your techs and let us order from the replacement parts you still have in stock"
The drug dealing world is resourceful. I would be shocked to the point of incredulity if the primary obstacle to implementing basic improvements casually mentioned in HN comments was simply that they didn't have anyone they could consult on the matter.

They're not going to be developing in-house nuclear weaponry, no, but cartels can and do find intelligent, experienced and competent people who can help optimize their supply chains.

I don't think it's a matter of them not realizing there are superior designs; I think it's a matter of superior designs not being worth the extra cost or somehow having an unintended result.
Thanks! It already helped me get over a writer's block.
Kind of. You can enable 'developer mode' on a consumer Xbox One which allows you to run unsigned apps (UWP) but it doesn't give you full access like you would get with the full SDK which gives you a load more diagnostic, debugging and telemetry options.

Reddit ads don't have a conversion tracking solution. Especially when you're running multiple campaigns for the same ad - there's no way to see which campaign a conversion came from.

So basically I'd like a fancier Reddit ad-buying tool.

The Switch looks pretty neat, based on what little I've seen. I can't help but hope that it'll get hacked and that a thriving homebrew community will sprout up. When the PSP was around and kicking that was the main thing that got me engaged in the community, and I still remember those years with fondness.

Assuming there's no glaring problems, I'll probably buy one when their new Mario Kart game is available. I definitely have a soft spot for Nintendo. Since real-life has pushed me to become a casual gamer, I've really started to appreciate their simplicity and predictability. For solo, I've enjoyed every Mario platformer, and I'll probably enjoy whatever they release next. For parties, Mario Kart and Smash Brothers are always a blast with friends.

Even though it appears to be largely considered a failure by the community, I'm actually pretty happy with the Wii U. I bought around five or six games, and thoroughly enjoyed em all. As I wrote this, I decided to look up what other games have been released since I last checked, and I just found out I have a new Paper Mario game waiting to play :).
But this is not a tree, only a list, there is no nesting, they should really do an expert mode of tab center.

How Circadian Clocks Differ from Sleep
I found Scratch Jr. [1] and Alice 3D [2] great tools for teaching programming. I found Alice 3D more appealing for kids that the full Scratch online. Scratch Jr. for a 7 year old kid is a good way to start. A typical 9 year old is more capable of general programming (thinking in a straigthforward syntax like in Python).

For younger kids I only recommend Scratch Jr. since it is natural, has less friction, and doesn't require reading.

> That is utter garbage.

For real. I understand the security argument, but that poster and Mozilla in general seem to be making the argument that "no, you're wrong, you don't know what you want, we're going to tell you what you want, and it's a less feature-rich Firefox."

Well, I use Firefox, and I evangelize Firefox to everyone I know, on the basis, essentially of the extensions, and most of the popular Firefox extensions would have never come into existence with the new extension model. Mozilla is developing APIs to grandfather some of them in, but they're still reducing the possibility space from "anything" to "what we expose through these APIs", so new extensions that change everything will no longer come into being.

And aside from that, they don't even cover everything; I've already been notified by the developers of two extensions I use that they either can't or won't be switching over.

I really do have to agree with the people who are saying Mozilla has totally lost the plot. I've disabled automatic updates until I can figure out what I'm going to do.
Prepackaged and well documented IT setups for small business. We've things like "LegalZoom" which are contracts designed by lawyers that have instructions for adapting them to your needs. A site that keeps a set of IT "best practices" for different types of businesses, restaurant, nail salon, bookshop, coffee shop, etc. Want to provide your customers with free internet but don't want to be a source of spam, do <this>. Want to keep a backup of your critical data on tarsnap do <this>. Need to buy equipment for <x>, here is an annual review of the best equipment for that, and why.

Every business needs IT but not every business knows someone who can do it for them and they don't have a way to hire someone part time.

Pair this service with a set of vetted 'sysadmins' who will work part time to put these systems into a business and update them if needed. Uber for IT help :-)

How about teaching them about health?

We've recently started to teach kids with the use of Aidlab (https://www.aidlab.com/developer) to show them some basics about heart, lungs or motion data. They are able to measure themselves, develop simple apps thanks to Unity engine, and make use of those data (ex. building games that use respiration level to control game character).

However, that’s pretty much the other extreme. It doesn’t support Web Extensions or even Add-on SDK extensions.
This is a perfect example of why using hot button issues as an analogy is always a bad idea.

A browser add-on is not a gun. A limited API is not a sign in a window telling you you can't do something, it's a hard restriction that makes breaking rules impossible.

So can we please, please, not turn this into a conversation about gun control? We don't even need an analogy. Everyone here understands browser add-ons.

Is it still true you can't do extensions for Chrome on Android? If so, they should just do a commercial showing you can use uBlock Origin with it. That could get a good chunk to move on Android and if they use it there they might switch on desktop too.

It was used on an IE-only project I worked on many years ago. It was very difficult for users to manage and was used in addition to individual credentialing with a username/password. The certificate would identify the physical location, so there'd be one per client installed onto all the machines from which the site could be used.

XUL extensions are also vetted by AMO reviewers if they come from that channel, so that's no change, except to the extent they're easier to review.
Sorry, "reverse engineering" is clearly a bad choice of words. What I meant was that one aspect (and maybe a goal) of rewriting TeX in OCaml is to reorganize the code from a procedural approach to a functional one, while trying to clean up any accidental complexity. That requires to take some distance with the actual code, and is not easy. That's why there are not many successful TeX rewrites (I can't cite any, but I am interested in knowing if some of them exist).

> It's undoubtedly true that power users will lose a little of the functionality they like in Firefox, but that normal users will have a more secure browser

Why are these 'normal users' going to use Firefox when their power user friend no longer recommend it, when Google is pushing Chrome as hard as they can on every Google property, and when there are even installers that 'offer' to install Chrome for you? Mozilla can't compete with Google and Microsoft marketing efforts, they can't make anything more than a UI for the most popular mobile browsing platform, and they're alienating power users. Who is going to be pushing Firefox to normal users?
I think in most jurisdictions there is a law that enables a supermajority shareholder to take possession by a forced buy-out of remaining stock, at a "fair price". Thus a separate shareholder agreement is not necessarily required.

I'm a computer science student and have the exact same problem. I was diagnosed with ~150 points in IQ tests when I was in the 8/9th grade (I was forced to do it to get a seat in a special class - I don't think IQ is relevant for anything that constitutes a wonderful life) and I can imagine that this is one of the reasons I never developed serious perseverance (only exception: software eng) - in school and elsewhere, there was no reason to work hard.

Now in university, it's completely different - if you don't work hard, you're gonna lose.
I've learned the hard way that it's not about raw intelligence - which is really nice, because it means that genetic factors can be minimized - but pure diligence. I've met a couple of people who have average intelligence, but hustle like they're betting their lives (which is not so far-fetched, I admit). And I've found it very interesting that they sometimes don't need a real reason to hustle - they don't even know if computer science is what gets them excited, but they do it nevertheless.

Unfortunately I don't have any mechanisms to utilize my potential in academic settings, although I succeed in my narrow software eng scope.

I would like to hear your tips and how you succeeded anyways.
In my (very limited) experience, building text adventures is a great way to teach kids programming:

* You don't need any complicated stuff for it, just printing to stdout and reading from stdin.

* Kids love making up stories and games

* When they understand the basics you can gradually increase the complexity: Add if/then/else conditions (do you wanna go left or right?), functions (e.g. to parse answers to questions), variables and simple arithmetic (treasures found, monsters fought, ...) and libraries (e.g. for adding randomness to the game).

And if they're hungry for even more afterwards, you can add some graphics programming into the mix. By then they should be motivated enough by their story that they actually want to learn something more complex and challenging.

I'd recommend a scripting language to get started, as it removes the need to compile code, which (IMHO) just adds unnecessary complexity.

Not sure if this is the best approach, I tried it once and it worked great though!
Thanks. I missed that. I'm still not sure it conveys everything. I think work on demonstrating the product and the value is well worth the effort, IMO. I'm actually interested in the service and so might try the free trial to see how it delivers.
> Web extensions are vetted by amo reviewers [...]

But so is every other type of add-on. You even need to upload source code for binary components. (A XUL extension can include DLLs or their cross-platform equivalents.)
Discovering Great Talent with Path Forward
Resourceful only gets you so far... at some point you need a team of engineers with stable jobs over a long period of time. I'd say the line is roughly between the junky subs we see now, and researching, developing and fielding a stealthy modern sub. It's not impossible, but it's not like finding a chemist who can teach a whole bunch of people who to follow a recipe. You're talking about specialized skills, and people who have those skills and have put them into practice tend to be watched.

I am looking for a "Daily Operations Management Software". Let me explain.

Problem I am facing:

We have a lot tasks that need to be done on a daily, biweekly, monthly or whatever Basis. For example: checking new profile images, curating user data, checking error messages, etc.

My current solution

I setup cronjobs manually that send reminder emails to certain employees in my company, that remind them to do this Task. I also have an Excel sheet with a list of all these tasks all. In an irregular basis I control if these tasks are done properly.

Proposed Software solution

I can create a task with a description and assign it to a user / email. I can also assign how often this task needs to be done and wich superviser should be informed, if the task got forgotten and how often the supervisor should control the results. The assigned user gets reminded about this task and has to check whether or not he completed it or whether something went wrong.
This situation is identical to the one in Israel.
I have used all of the Chrome based variants of Vimperator. I like Cvim too.

However there is one killer feature for me in Firefox, that is the fact that I can:

nmap <C-j> 10j

nmap <C-k> 10k

Chrome has these keys already bound and there is no way to unbind them.

I am adamant about using this configuration because it matches my .vimrc - so I use the exact same navigation in my browser and my (arguably) IDE.
sounds like you are working an assembly line. you should certainly switch jobs, but for different reasons.
the rng in js is not good enough for crypto. but if you send the cert including key to the browser most browsers know what to do and will auto use it. there are different formats for different browsers though. and the server also needs to have a cert

Not losing control of your phone. Losing control of your phone _number_.

Hmm -- the american religion is the ballot box, public school and TV. Without commenting on their effectiveness, these things legitimize our social order. Compare this to the ceremony identifying a pharaoh with the egyptian pantheon -- that's what legitimized them.

If somebody watches 4 hours of TV a week and thinks without any critical examination that public school works, that person isn't an atheist.

What these researchers are modeling in 1700 isn't the emergence of modern ideas, it's the liberation of european academia from control of the church as printing proliferates. Anti-authority isn't a 'modern' idea, it's just an idea that is easy to suppress when the forces of authority control the media.
Losing control of your actual phone is not the same as losing control of your phone number.

Like how it is generally illegal to record phone calls without notifying everyone that a recording will be made.

Actually, that's not true.

Federal law only requires "one-party consent" - that is, it's legal to record a phone call as long as one person on the call knows it's being recorded.

Only 12 states have laws requiring that everyone on the call must know it's being recorded.

Rocket scientists are well educated. There are lots of smart people who aren't. Generally speaking most people are smart. What one believes about other people's intelligence says more about the believer's intelligence than the believee's.
There are a bunch of projects we want to complete. Doing so requires me to inform a couple of other teams so that they can solve more fundamental problems so that we can finish our projects. Sometimes things change and I have to find and notify the right people, and tell them that there are now more of the fundamental problems or that there are now different ones.

I keep track of this dependency graph manually, and sometimes I make a mistake. Something that would prevent me from making a mistake and that would make managing this easier would be cool.

Mentally, it's a directed graph and you sort of flood-fill out of the node where the change is occurring. Just knowing which other things are affected would be enough.

Of course, if there's already something useful for this already, do let me know. This sort of sounds like something I should be able to do with project management tools but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

> Firefox will not have this limitation

Is that a statement about future Firefox visions or Firefox 57? I assume you know the gritty details while I'm a rather confused Firefox power user / fan / advocate (using .. addons that are affected, vertical tabs/tree style tabs plus vimperator/pentadactyl mostly).

The outrage The Internet™ seems to feel is probably not about XUL being deprecated/killed. I'd say no user cares about the technology, the only people even caring are probably the addon developers.

From what I can tell, the outrage is mostly due to the impression (and I dearly hope that you will dismiss this as wrong, just like the 'addon limitation' reference above) that the web extension switch happens before popular, polarizing addons are even remotely possible given the new API.

"Will not have this limitation", as in "it won't support that use case in 57 at all" or as in "you can do better than this Chrome extension you describe"?
The next Firefox ESR will be based on Firefox 52 (to be released in March). Firefox 52 ESR will continue to support all add-ons and receive security fixes until sometime in 2018 H1.
