> Do not talk to your wife.

That's pretty much never good advice; you should always talk to your wife, that's what a relationship is. If you aren't, your marriage is dysfunctional.
Would happily share my similar experience privately if you like.

Yes. They're considering everything from pictographs up to the level of hostile architecture. The proposed message includes instructions to update the message in the language spoken at the time, in the hope of helping the message endure for generations more.
Many spouses/partners may not be happy to hear that. The founder could be a woman and the freaking out spouse the man, or another woman, for that matter. My point is I am pretty sure we can leave gender out of the equation.
I don't see any mention of encryption in this standard. Are all messages public? I'd like to see this using public and private keys so that it is guaranteed only intended recipients (e.g. people on my friends list) can read my messages. This is especially important given the federated nature of this.
"there might be value in Mozilla maintaining an open-source fork of Chrome."

Then that would mark the day when I no longer use Mozilla's software. There'd be no point.

The world doesn't need yet another Chromium-based browser. Firefox's continued development of Gecko and new development of Servo are among the main forces (alongside Safari, maybe) preventing Chrome from becoming the next Internet Explorer.
Exactly this.

I've worked with many regulators on industry/public reviews. Submitting opinions or copy pasta achieves nothing, no matter how voluminous. It will at best end up refered to in the final report as something like "Mupltiple unsubstantiated submissions were made supporting net neutralitity."

Things that make a difference, at least to the extent that some time and effort has to be made responding to them in the final report, include:

1. Summarising similar rulings in other jurisdictions. Ideally, including the reasoning why they made their decision, and some analysis of the impact. Comparisons of market similarities (e.g. level/structure of competition) helps to show why those decisions are relevant to the local market.

2. Arguing from local regulatory context. Working from the local competition/telecoms laws and previous decisions by the regulator, construct a structured argument why the desired outcome logically follows.

3. Arguing from first principles. Often involving some market/scenario modelling showing current market behaviour and how that would/would not change under different regulatory outcomes. Most competition/telecoms legislation is framed around benefits to consumers, so the modelling should focus on the consumer impact, not just competitor impact.

Most industry submissions will utilise a combination of the above, and draw upon global experts to strengthen their case and add credibility to their analysis.

I can't speak to the FCC and this particular ruling, but I have seen regulators change their draft recommendations on the basis of submissions received during the public review process. Even when the regulator has predetermined the outcome, having the submissions and the official responses recorded in the final report provides a reference basis for additional lobbying at a later date.

It's sort of a weird definition for HLMI since it involves cost. I.e., if you can replace an engineer but leasing the hardware, power etc. costs more than the engineer's salary it doesn't count?

This is an important point, because ignoring that it could be the case that the first HLMI requires significant computational power to run - definitely to train, I'd expect, at least. So you can have a 5x human agent on some super computer but you have to build 1000 of those before you start talking about significant impact.
Geology. Rocks move over time, especially in areas of high tectonic activity, but also in others. Water tables exist, and mines were not designed to be watertight, or airtight, or to contain such dangerous material.

1) I never said that women are the only ones who do this. I just said if she is the type who will support you. Nowhere in my statement did I say anywhere near all women are of type X. You seemed to assume I meant that, which I didn't. I know the value of a supportive woman. My girlfriend is MOSTLY supportive but I don't dump everything on her. Learn to deal with stuff yourself and you'll be happier.

2) It absolutely does make a difference. Freak out type? Divorce on top of the stress. Supportive? Let's go on a vacation and I'll blow you till your head pops.

Other people mentioned stoicism. You will naturally become stoic after making it through a brutal pain like this one. Stick it out. It is a superpower. It will help you withstand anything without buckling.
They don't make anywhere near most of their money from branded products. The last year I can find easily is 2014. They made less than $500 million in revenue from merchandise and sponsorship, and $2.2 billion in car and part sales.

Margin is very high on their cars, so there is no way they're making anywhere close to most of their money through branded merchandise.

Contrast that with the Music industry. They did about $15 billion in music sales, and only about $8 billion in concert revenue in 2015.

Musicians do make a significant portion of their money from concert revenue, but musicians aren't the primary drivers of ticket prices.
The problem is we're moving extremely fast to a chrome only world. If it wasn't for corporate sites and the success of the iPhone chrome would probably be dominating the way IE used to.

I definitely run into sites that only work on chrome and not in any other browser.

In my opinion chrome isn't doing a good job either. It's a massive energy hog and waste more CPU than it needs to. Unlike IE and FireFox and Safari it comes from a company that is notorious for wanting to know everything about you.

The time to celebrate victory was a few years ago. Now it's starting to look like the new boss is the same as the old, maybe worse.

He's not saying that only women can react in a bad way. Re-read the statement by replacing women with people and she with they.
One thing that I think could be an interesting variable is how many tabs you've accreted. Browser A with 100 tabs open versus Browser B with 1 tab.
To reiterate: Most people's thinking on the minimum wage hasn't progressed past "if poor people got paid more they'd be better off, therefore raise the minimum wage." Many people's thinking on walfare haven't evolved past "I don't want to give money to lazy poor people". Sure, someone who's taken Econ101 may not have the ultimately nuanced opinion, but at least their understanding is going to be far closer to reality than someone who hasn't. The ideas in 101 are simplified, but the truth is that they're almost certainly better than whatever was in the person's head before, even if they aren't a complete description.

That being said, if you haven't read Mankiw you really should. He goes into far more detail than you seem to think, on many of the exact subjects you listed. Maybe econ101 has progressed since you last took it.

> Economics is the one field of study in America today where someone who reads three blog posts thinks they're an expert

Ha. It's funny how many fields think this way. A friend of mine who's an MD in sports medicine says the same thing ("People read one exercise book and think they know everything!"). Another friend of mine says the same thing about law. Another says the same about foreign policy. Etc, etc, etc.

If your goal is to get people to people to stop pretending like they know econ after reading one pop-economics​ book, well I don't know what to tell you except that in all likelihood human nature isn't going to change; people have been overconfident about things they don't know "dick" about since the beginning of human history and probably will continue to do so regardless of whether they read your books or not.

By the way, if you really believe that exposure to "complex market failure after complex market failure" is really the answer, there's plenty of places on the internet that do just that. Go to /r/latestagecapitalism or /r/socialism and observe all the nuance and humility that results. In reality, people just as readily end up overconfident in the opposite direction.
So Mozilla lost Firefox OS. And their browser share is smaller then Chrome, and then it was, but still top tier and winning from M$.

I'm much less pessimistic.

Besides a cross platform and extensible browser we see also the following coming out of Mozilla:

* Rust, a modern low-level programming language with cutting edge "safety" build in at zero runt time cost, luring many system programmers.

* Servo, tomorrow browser, from scratch, in Rust.

* Thunderbird, x-platform desktop email client (interesting for those not trusting the cloud enough).

* MDN, everything MSDN and w3school wish they could be. :)

A lot with revolve around privacy and safety in the future, a space that Mozilla is very well positioned to florish in.

Chrome is a good product. But I prefer Firefox. And seeing what is becoming of Servo I will soon start using that. Form me Firefox has won, and is not at all losing. I dont need the "most popular" browser, I need the most secure one.

And when I see what programming languages Google came up with... (Seriously? Is Go the best money can buy?) Then I think Rust shows single handedly that Mozilla beats Google in that arena as well.
Assuming a healthy relationship this is terrible advice. For example, in my case my wife is my best friend (duh, it's one of the reasons I married her!). In a healthy relationship partners should be able to talk about things like this in a productive manner.

We cannot possibly be talking about the same Google. This is the Google of AMP et al. You think they won't do the exact same thing Microsoft did with IE when they find themselves in a similar dominant/monopolistic position in the market? You're sorely mistaken. We already find many examples of websites and Web apps that work only on chrome or the chrome "web store". This not to mention the surveillance and privacy nullifiying "features" they impose, which is even more important to me personally than standards compliance.

A world with Google owning a monopoly on web browsing isn't any less bad than if it were Microsoft.
Has most of the engineering done by Google, since it is based on chromium?
Agreed that Mozilla's original mission has been accomplished in spades, but I wouldn't count Mozilla out of the browser race just yet.

Servo and Webrender[0] will completely shake up the browser landscape, and will allow web apps to match (maybe even surpass?) native mobile apps in terms of rendering performance. Unless Chrome, IE, and Safari can develop an answer to Servo and Webrender by the time those technologies are ready for prime time, I wouldn't be surprised to see "Best viewed in Firefox" badges start popping up everywhere.

> Most women can't handle adversity

Hmm... massively sexist comment, and not remotely true. Two relationships is not a valid sample size to make judgements about "most women" and likely your hindsight is a bit flawed given your ideas about women.
Chrome may be technically great, but we should also acknowledge the fact that it was the sole advertisement for years on the most valuable piece of web real estate in the universe, the google.com home page. I can't think of any other product with that distinction.

What would the browser war look like if google.com advertised Firefox instead?
I'm developing a theory that America's thoughts on what technology is capable of swings wildly between two poles (possibly with every generation?): A strong luddite streak that pooh-pooh's technology, followed by a ridiculous fantasy that technology can do everything. We're firmly entrenched in cycle "B" right now; their Martian colonies is our true AI.

We think everything is just around the corner because so much has changed over the last few decades, without realizing that those changes have only come in certain areas, while the rest of the technical world is proceeding along at a much slower, more methodical pace.

I saw an ELI5 post the other day from someone on Reddit asking what air traffic controllers did, that software couldn't do better. I actually had to sit for a moment and ponder the person (almost certainly a youth, admittedly) who thinks we're already at the point on the futurism curve where the task of safely coordinating air (or any!) traffic is better done by a computer than a person. They just couldn't wrap their heads around the idea that a group of trained people, in 2017, with advanced software and visualization tools at their disposal, might be better at that than a computer acting on its own.

The example fits elegantly because I do think AR is in our future (and our present) and I'm absolutely thrilled about what it's going to bring to the world. But the idea that we're going to replace (waste) the meat computer in our heads - let alone that we can - within the next few... What, years? Decades?

Anything in that timeline seems ridiculous to me, and not because I can't imagine such an incredible and future, but because I know how the technology works, I know how far away it is from replacing (not augmenting, which again is today and I think has a rich future ahead of it) human brains and senses. Yes, automation is going to replace all our jobs, and also the sun is going to burn up someday. We need to prepare for both - arguably the former more adroitly than the latter - at a pace that makes sense both for humanity today and humanity in the future.

I have experienced this first hand. Felt really insecure about my lack of passion for creating internal systems and processes, and instead hired a great person who is amazing at it and it's freed my co-founder and I up to do what we really love and excel at. I now know I don't need to be great at that other stuff, I have unique value to add on my own.

The site is pretty.

Unclear on what to do after I see the list of representatives. Perhaps some resources (or links that lead me to resources) that show me the representative stance and best way to influence would help out. The map, address and hours are already pretty helpful though.

Also, it wasn't really obvious what benefit of signing up if you just click the sign-up link the top. Perhaps advertise on the sign-up / login page as well ?
You have to make wacky statements like this to pull off the "visionary" schtick. All of the hotshots were talking Post-PC world in 2011.

The reality is that computers are still computers. Mobile is the new TV.

I run EUC in a large diversified enterprise. We have about 0.05% pure mobile users, mostly iPad based. That is growing quickly, but probably won't exceed 3% in the next 5 years based on the current pipeline. There are exceptions, iirc Comcast has 50k iPads. Other field service orgs are similar.

Server based computing is a thing though. There's alot of BYOD and thin clients in our future. Thin clients are approaching $100 and going lower. VDI/Citrix has a positive ROI for me.

I think the future looks more like Issac Asimov's multivac.
I've stuck with Firefox for years because I value open source and open web but today I finally switched to Chrome. It feels like I have a new computer. Firefox constantly pegs my CPU. It seems to have gradually gotten slower.

I'm glad it resonated, my friend, because unfortunately I really find myself in the same boat.

Perhaps we should all put on an incessantly optimistic and politically agnostic mask at all times, but I increasingly find myself unable to have low-stakes brainstorming sessions about any issue with 99% of my friends.

I guess this is a symptom of what is one of the causes of our political problems in the first place.

It's related to the 'Adams Law of Slow Moving Disasters', but I agree that there is a more general concept to be named.

It's a classic example of someone who hasn't had to deal with "hard" statistics thinking that just drawing a trendline (and dismissing biases out-of-hand) is all that statistics is.

The author is right that Chrome has a massive share, but everyone knows that. Any analysis more specific than that requires more than just overplotting exponentials on a graph.

You're letting your personal politics cloud the facts. Firefox was struggling well before that point, not because it was bad but because Google was pouring enormous amounts of money into Chrome and the only way you don't lose in that situation is if the competition screws up.

Firefox had a big decade because Microsoft put IE on a starvation diet after Netscape folded but Google shows no sign of making a similar level of error. Firefox has never been better technically but at the end of the day they're fighting on the wrong side of a war which will be decided by budgets.

2 things keep me on Chrome. First, the overly large titlebar on Linux. I've tried some addons to make it more like Chrome but they all look like shit. And second, the dev tools. I find dev tools in Firefox clumsy to use. I believe I originally switched to Chrome for the dev tools when I ventured into frontend development.
I don't like giving reasons anymore because they're usually a lie. I don't write up a list of pros and cons and find there's only one con and that's the one true reason for not wanting to do it. Reasons are complicated and hard to know yourself. By saying it, the other person can find a way to show it's not true, or get another reason out of you which shows your first reason wasn't complete. People have sometimes used my reasons against me - "remember that time you said you did X because of Y?, Now you're saying Y wasn't true, so you were lying back then!" They miss the fact that there are multiple reasons, and they aren't binary ("I want to" and "I don't want to" can both be true at the same time!) and I miss the fact that I cherry pick reasons that seem placating and omit the reasons that might seem rude.

It's not rudeness, but honesty that makes me dislike giving reasons. Sometimes I give the reason "I don't want to" which seems about as correct as I can understand.
I'm not saying NLP/Vision is not important, but we approach these modalities in a very specific way.

When we "work on NLP" it looks something like https://blog.openai.com/learning-to-communicate/ or http://www.foldl.me/2016/situated-language-learning/, as an emergent phenomenon in the service of a greater objective - not an end but a means to an end. It does not look like doing sentiment analysis or machine translation.

When we "work on Computer Vision" it looks like including a ConvNet into the agent architecture or a robot, it doesn't look like trying to achieve higher object detection scores.

Suppose we discovered a 10,000 year old archaeological site with that message. Do you honestly think we would be like, "ok, I guess we won't go digging around to see what this ancient civilization found repulsive and worthy of such hatred?" Of course we'd dig around. That's our human nature. We're curious.

We'd be careful but if there was a "I have no mouth and I cannot scream" sort of horror lurking beneath we'd suffer the consequences no matter the warning.
