In terms of usage and leverage, it doesn't seem to be moving a needle. It's been around for quite awhile and still has an awfully small market share.

That said, Firefox for Android is a great technical accomplishment, and a valuable project. The fact that they are able to differentiate themselves with extensions is very powerful.

The fact that this awesome accomplishment hasn't made much impact in share probably proves that "customization" isn't going to significantly outweigh "default" in that market, though my guess is it would still be a leading factor for the very small number of people who aren't using the default browser.

I don't mean to say that Mozilla should avoid mobile efforts entirely. Fennec is necessary, and I think Firefox OS would have been a fantastic reference implementation if Mozilla hadn't chased partnerships and commercial releases in combination with it.

The problem wasn't that Mozilla put time or resources into these things, it was that Mozilla bet on these things to the detriment of their core competencies and, frankly, mission.

Making money? Yes. Making heaps and heaps of money? Probably not.

Expensive parts are usually expensive for a good reason. Typical reasons are: time consuming to build; tiny market, so costs are spread over a small number of orders; materials are expensive and cost of mistakes is high; overhead is high because of the loans on expensive machinery and supplies & power to keep them running; combinations of the above!

Having talked to people in the automotive supply industry, it's a low-margin, cutthroat way to make money. Not a whole lot of people getting rich making auto parts. At least not in the lower tiers.
Just a warning to readers that MacLean's is fairly anti-french/Quebec so take this article with a grain of salt.

It also glosses over the main issue which is streaming. If a group of children is smarter than their peers is it right to force them to learn at the same pace as their slower peers and vice-versa. French immersion in English speaking Canada is a streaming tool to get around the fact that classes are not streamed and parents want their kids to get ahead and don't want "dumb" kids slowing them down. Many other countries like France and Germany IIRC are highly streamed and the article points to Europe as a place where leaning additional languages in childhood has been quite successful.

This is a great insight. Where does it come from? Your thought or someone else?
You say that now, but then it installs a Dyson sphere. Very dark indeed.
> Change.org is a for-profit entity

Wikipedia claims that in summary information, but the text contradicts it; I suspect the people saying that (including Wikipedia) are making the error of failing to recognize that "for-profit", "not-for-profit", and "nonprofit" are three different categories (not two, with the last two being aliases), and that you can't distinguish between the first and second categories by just looking at the legal formalities that identify the third category.
So are auto transmissions, but some trim levels for some models don't have them. Another poster in this thread claimed that a TESLA sales rep cited no passenger-side AC in the Model 3.

The point of trim is bundling useless overpriced crap you don't want to pay for with stuff that you do want to pay for. This is a huge money-maker for auto manufacturers, and I would be shocked if TESLA takes a pro-customer position on it.
right because it's always the case that those who do and have got to their situation unfairly, not due to hard work and intelligence or looking for opportunities, and that's the reason those who don't are poor, and therefore they deserve to die.
As a someone in my late 20s I could sort of see it BUT not with a family and child. Seems insane. If you were broke and unmarried I could see it being enticing. Also, he potentially thought he would make more? If it was a 1.25M he could have thought he would have received more or that it was actually a smaller haul than imagined/
Age mixed classes in lower grades are more effective, but also more expensive because you need less children on one teacher.

As for teaching children only what they want to learn, no. I would not raise my kids that way.

I had that problem in my home. If I wanted a fast and reliable connection, I had to turn off Wi-Fi and fall back to LTE.

I recently swapped out the piece-of-junk router from Comcast with a decent router, and it made a tremendous difference. Doesn't solve the issue when using other people's Wi-Fi networks though.
I don't quite understand this, sorry. Say I'm using a very high-level concurrency library, for lack of a better example of the top of my head. Now this library uses lots of kung-fu to spread tasks around to threads without me having to properly understand the complex techniques of thread pools and a myriad other things. After all, the library exists to make my life easier.

Are you saying I should not use such a library unless I understand all the techniques it uses? I doubt a significant portion of developers fall into that category of library users.
> If you don't copy the resource then you are sharing it.

I think their point is more that the copy has an arbitrary complexity, so while you think you're copying a smart pointer you're triggering a possibly huge cascade behind the scenes.

> This means you'll have reference semantics and every instance operates on the same resource

You could have an explicit copy operation on an otherwise move-semantic smart pointer. No sharing, and while you get the ability to copy stuff if necessary it's not potentially hidden behind every argument passing or assignation, it becomes a very deliberate operation.
This thread has become piled high with self-help advice already, and none of us know whether our advice will help any with your own situation, but here's another take; make the best of one advantage you have, which is an endpoint.

Pick a date and say to yourself (and probably also your wife), "on that day, I'm out of this shit job." Maybe with the uncertainty of selling you can't pick an actual day now, but do so as soon as you can, or say "at most X days after the sale." You know you probably aren't going to just quit outright, since the stakes are too high, but if each day is part of a process towards eventual quitting, that'll give it a bit more meaning.

But also, for goodness' sake, take a vacation. The office is going to have to get used to your not being around eventually, why not practice now?
San Francisco's population density, willingness to pay for faster internet, and displeasure with Comcast will hopefully mean more success than Brentwood.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've was rejected from YC and have been staving off burn out. I just moved back home to 'start over' and try one more time.

> There is an entire industry of price trackers and deal blogs that would not exist if online retail used travel-booking-style real-time price discrimination adjustment.

That's correct, although some online retailers show different prices depending on whether you visit them directly or via a price comparison site.
There's too much same product price comparison available for online retail to do such things without being noticed. It's not that they couldn't do it and have some level of results, it's that people would quickly become aware of it.
This is why I still use an old-school limo company ("limo" as in fancy black car, not a real limousine) for airport pickups/dropoffs in my home city. Years ago I found one that's extremely reliable and trustworthy. Nearly five years later I haven't had a single issue.

Uber in general is much better than taxis, but I still wouldn't really trust it for time-critical early morning pickups.
That wasn't their public intention, but you have to believe it was talked about given that the BMW 3 is, depending on the year, the best selling luxury sport sedan in the world.
Are people in the UK really signing a petition that amounts to "don't invite the President of the United States to the UK on an official visit"?
A simple PRNG I used on programmable calculators back in the 1970's. Four steps:

1. Recall seed from register (a number between 0.0 and 1.0)

2. Take reciprocal

3. Chop off the part to left of decimal point (eg, "frac" key)

4. Store back in register as next seed

At this point you have a number between 0.0 and 1.0 in the calculator. (eg, in the X register if RPN)

Every step counted, that was the simplest PRNG I could devise back in the day.

The initial seed in the register was created by hitting the decimal point key and a string of digits filling the calculator display.
The US has something similar. The issue is that (even in the UK) the response can be "no" and the consideration can also be "no".
"Lowering" (though I've never heard it called that) is also handy in the course of working with formal semantics especially in the case of proofs and other serious reasoning. You can "port" your reasoning from the "lower" construct to the special case of the higher construct.

In general this also translates to simply understanding the semantics of a language. If you can describe something in terms of another concept the listener already has an intuition for, often it makes the new thing easier to understand and learn.

Though it's easy to imagine cases where the "lower" thing is so abstract that it's hard to apprehend in the first place (e.g. "everything is just a closure!").
Yes, it's ISTJ.
I recommend the talks of Andreas Antonopoulos.
I agree. A lot of me-too companies made by me-too entrepreneurs. If this was rock n roll, a lot of these people would never sell more than a few records. People respond extremely well to authenticity and originality, not so much pretense (which can work for only so long).

Got a copy from my library, thanks for the tip. :)
Thanks. I've never used either, actually. I just do it manually. Another good option for AWS is OpenVPN Access Server. There's a template.

> The linked article describes them as a for-profit org.

The linked article provides no basis for this description and, without any cited basis and given change.org's consistent description of not being operated for profit, seems to be making the (fairly common) mistake of confusing the absence of the tax status of "nonprofit" (which requires a lot more than being not-for-profit) with being "for profit". There are quite a number of not-for-profit entities that are not nonprofits.
> You can can separate implementations depending on whether T has a particular member function.

Separate implementation, but not separate interface? The Rust bit means Box is "transparently" clonable, meaning it only implements the clone trait(/interface) if the value it wraps also does, trying to clone a Box<T> where T can not be cloned would be a compile-time error.

Amazon benefits from being the winner in its winner-take-all market. It also benefits from having competition in the upstream markets.

For example, if Dominos were the only pizza provider, they would be able to offer whatever terms they wanted. Amazon only leverage would be mutually assured destruction [0] of not offering any pizza. If there is a diverse markets of pizza providers, Amazon can dictate the terms and drop any provider who does not play ball.

In fact, many companies make a point of having multiple upstream providers to limit the leverage any one provider has over them.

[0] Not quite an existential threat to either, but painful for both.

Yes, that clarifies my point. In the US for IDs and birth certificates, you have dozens to hundreds of different places with different rules to choose from. Finding a corrupt or inept person in one of them seems likely.

I think you're confusing learning with memorization and/or indoctrination? If your lessions are only lecture, discussion, and reading then you can go ahead and skip them and replace them with nothing [1].

Not all, surprisingly! I find a lot of Lyft-only drivers when I'm riding. Their lease/rent programs have helped this.
David from Vanhawks here - why do you need a connected bike? Maybe you don't. But, I sure like riding one. We are aiming to make commuting safer and more comfortable for riders. A big part of that approach is to remove distractions to the greatest extent that we can. Unlike strapping a device on to the handle bars, you can simply open the app, lock your phone and put it away. The ride recording starts and stops automatically and, your turn by turn directions are given through easy to follow light signals from the handle bar. Basically, we want you to keep your eyes on the road and not on your device.

The Valour also records a much more rich set of data that we will be using to inform cycling directions in the future. Most apps or devices record speed, time, distance, etc. We're recording much more.

I get what you are saying though - I have a Garmin that I use with multiple road bikes on country roads during the weekend. There, it is much easier to glance down to see how many watts I'm producing or switch screens to check my vertical metres per hour. However, when I'm riding across town to the office, I have a very different set of concerns.
Here's a spreadsheet with the math. Bottom right column is the net cost.

Input is two numbers: incremental tax rate R and tax threshold T. Your net UBI is (I-T)*R.

Let's tweak the spreadsheet to get a payment of $12K per household if income is 0. One way to get that is T=30K and R=20%. (The average size of a low-income household is ~2) With those two numbers, the net cost is approximately 0.

But the whole point of UBI is that it can replace welfare, so if you can find $1T in savings, UBI can work with T=60K and R=10%.

I'm curious: what do mmWave means for WiFi ? How ideally for consumers should we regulate it ? And could we achieve, maybe at the lower end of mmWave, an unlicensed alternative that competes well with LTE, in urban spaces?

Yeah. This quarter and next quarter are going to have abysmal sales. I think they are desperately trying to make their earnings reports look better to prevent a sell off.
Interesting idea, but even if there were a protectable right to attention, how would we accommodate differences in distractability? That is, some people are very easily distracted by banner ads, and other people do not find them troublesome (though their behavior may still be influenced by having seen ads they did not focus on).

In the American legal system, we have a concept known as the "eggshell plaintiff rule", which addresses heterogeneity among tort victims (i.e., victims of car accidents or other negligent acts) This rule says that if you injure someone and it turns out that they have some peculiar bodily weakness (like a skull as thin as an eggshell, hence the name), you are responsible for whatever injuries result. It doesn't matter that the magnitude of the injuries was totally unforeseeable.

Although this rule offers one way to handle heterogeneity among people, it only kicks in after a recognizable tort has occurred. In the case of attentional heterogeneity, the threshold question of what type of distraction is too distracting is at issue. So it seems like it would be very difficult to figure out a workable standard here.

That said, I'm very interested in the topic, and actually recently released a new feature in my Chrome extension [1] that visually dims distracting elements on the page. I do hope that we can find a way to cut down on distractions — I'm just not sure a new legal right is the most likely path.

IANAL, but AFAIK the GPLv3 has only the requirement that all software that is built upon the licenced software (and couldn't work without the licenced software) musto be released under that license. Likely, your backend will be REST/GraphQL/some well-known alternative-enabled, meaning you could reasonably use [relevant request debugging tool] as the only endpoint for your APIs, which makes your backend loosely coupled to the frontend and therefore it does not have to be released under GPL. Maybe when your backend e.g. is going to send implementation-specific data for the frontend, it can be considered for a licence-lock. Again, IANAL, but this is what I think read while checking the GPL-FAQ

For a USA-ian, it is interesting to see similar issues for language
immersion (in Canada) and US voucher-based charter schools, each relative
to the local traditional schools, with a tendency for students from
higher-income families to attend immersion (in Canada) or voucher-based
charter schools (in the US), and for traditional schools to retain
students from lower-income families, allophone/ESL students, and a higher
proportion of students with special needs.

While I'm in favor of exploring innovation in education,
it seems like there are intrinsic challenges to equity here,
and a situation that cries out for methods to equitably balance
access to effective education.
