While the idea seems great in theory, I doubt Mozilla has the manpower to moderate it. The volume of comments would be astonishing, think Stack Overflow's Javascript tag – there are countless questions that have been answered time and again. Sorting and moderating them takes an insane amount of man-hours.
Something is still wonky with their approach. Consider a 3770 vs 6700: https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/cpu/compare/3041851?basel...

Almost all other benchmarks I've seen put the 6700 at ~15% faster for both single and multi core tests, including most importantly, real world benchmarks. Geekbench has the 6700 at 47% faster single core and 64% faster multi-core. The few individual benchmarks I've see with numbers close to Geekbench's overall spread are using new instructions or are actually testing the onboard GPU.
I think it's a joke.
They used to! Ask anyone who was involved in startups around 200-2002 about the full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions many investors demanded and received. Not fun for anyone else in a down round . . .

Does Duplicacy use the filesystem events APIs like FSEvents on macOS to minimize the need for a full scan on every backup? CrashPlan has a lot of issues, but this is one of its best features.

Also, how do you see this as being different from Duplicati and Arq?

That's a very interesting thing to try to quantify. I would say they had _more_ integrity, but risks always existed. Reuters used to have a corporate structure that would prevent it from capture, and even that didn't guarantee impartiality.

Multiple revenue streams (sales, classifieds) would make them less beholden to advertisers.

Of course they would still have to write material that sold!

California has a law requiring the use of microstamping on semi-automatic handguns, however, models previously certified for sale in the state are exempt. I do not believe any manufacturer is actually offering a microstamped firearm for sale.

The stamps are required to be on the firearm, not the ammunition. They're supposed to leave an identifiable mark on the ammunition when fired.
(Disclaimer - I know nothing about actual printers.) Really? I would expect that things like location, IP address, time and date, etc would be the most important privacy threats and would be implemented in software. Although I agree that hardware tracking is still an important issue that open-source drivers wouldn't solve.
To continue your car analogy, I think the question about indexes is more like asking "how does a piston work?". For me, it would be more important to display a strong mental model of the role a piston plays in the overall function of the engine and how it does its work in general than to know technical details about different real pistons in different real engines. It seems like you feel the opposite, which is also valid, just different.

My point was really that a major reason interviews are so daunting is that candidates don't know whether they're talking to someone like you or someone like me.

Wheeled vehicles can go wherever we build roads... each road costs the taxpayer X / mile / year ... if we knew these costs we could make some rational decisions.

I remember hearing stories about a friend's cousin would use photo copiers / printers to copy small bills to put in coke machines, change machines etc. I never tried this myself for obvious reasons, so I don't know if it actually worked, but I can see how being able to track down the printer type etc. would help in this.
Startups say that but I think in many cases applicants go to startups because they can't get a job at a bigco that will pay them more. This especially true for new grads who didn't go to a shiny
University.

Now this isn't a bad thing as one of the best reasons to go to a startup is to sharpen or learn new skills to become more employable. It's basically what I did till I could swap to a bigco.
In the same sense there either is a victim, or not a victim; then it either is subjective, or isn't.

There isn't "subjective for some" - there is just differing, and mutually exclusive opinion - a situation in which one party must be wrong.

This is wrong.

It's amazing what Javascript can do now but it is only amazing because it was a retarded child with abusive parents (early browsers with wildly different implementations).

That taken into account its amazing how far it has come.

Not heresy at all. Everyone I know that has used it, including myself, really likes it. Yet no one I know has ever used it a real production environment. I guess it has some traction in financial circles, but that's about it. Maybe .NET going cross-platform will lead to some adoption.

How can you counterfeit money with an inkjet? You'll get caught in days (wrong paper, streaking, poor quality print) with or without the dots. You'd have to be blind not to notice the difference, but then you'd feel the difference. Heck, you could hear the difference. Smell the difference. Troublesome counterfeiting is more sophisticated than a $100 throw away printer.

The Stasi took fingerprints of every typewritter so people couldn't publish illegal things. This is not hostile only if the state is defined as non hostile.
Yes, it does also affect men and it always sucks when it happens and it's not acceptable behaviour.

But it happens more often to women. Also, if the person being interrupted asserts themselves they're seen in a positive light if they're male but a negative light if they're female.

And in this case there's a video, and he interrupts her far more often than he interrupts the other male guests.

This controller operates when stock headunit is removed and can print out on the stock dash display (FDIM) the following info:

- clock (can be taken from 2010+ GPSM module or from external RTC clock - DS3231 based)
- tire pressure (from broadcasts 2010+ or from Ford TPMS protocol 2008+)
- tire temp (from TPMS protocol)
- RPM
- engine temp
- current speed

units are configurable (12/24h clock, psi/kpa pressure, C/F temperature)

Probably will share code and PCBs on github soon, now this thingy is under heavy test in my car and other cars of some enthusiastic guys

There are plans to extend the device with CAN proxy to allow it to work together with stock headunit and also sit on both HS and MS can buses to get more data do display

It's entirely possible to negotiate option excercise dates. Asking for 5-10 years to decide if you want to buy is within the realms of possibility for software engineers at early stage startups (pre b round).

Same with early excercise.
It's biology.

Women are less aggressive and assertive by nature.

Testosterone and stupidity (much more prevalent in male population) does wonders when it comes to being aggressive, assertive and risk seeking.
"Methods of making practically invisible changes to pure text are available too" as mentioned in the post referred to. If using printer fonts rather than explicit vectors then it is possible to hide enough data in small "mistakes" invisible to the naked eye.

> Fair Source has the power to promote diversity within the developer community. To date, contributing to open source has been an expensive proposition for developers. You have to have a stable income and a lot of extra time to work on side projects for free, which means talented developers from underprivileged backgrounds often aren’t able to contribute. Fair Source allows developers to monetize their side projects, which means more people can afford to join the ranks of developers who pursue these initiatives.

I find it funny that some people feel a need to justify charging money for something by coming up with bogus social justice rationalizations.

I'm not the parent, but I've always lived in the suburbs. The suburbs I live in now are far less rural than the ones I grew up in, mind you, and I've never lived within 1,000 miles of California, or the Valley, but through the magic of telecommuting, I have had a few jobs based in the SF/Mountain View area, while maintaining an acre of flat, fenced yard for my dogs and family.
It's zero net gain at the point of dilution. Owning 10% of 10 million or 1% of 100 million is the same money you simply have even less control.

Unfortunately, rational people may have very different risk tolerances. Founders often see it as I have a company and X money to work with. The next round means I have a company and X + Y money to work with. In that context having a 90% chance of 10 million is often better than a 80% chance of 20 million even if the expected value drops the difference between 0 and 10 million is vastly larger than 10 million vs 20 million. But, smaller stakeholders may not agree with this thinking.
It baffles me that moderators keep blocking the community and remove flags form these kind of totally non factual and opinionated posts, and then go and themselves flag highly voted fact based posts that make it to the first page of HN - like they did some weeks ago about the code capabilities of IT grads in India.

It is almost like the moderators in HN have a clearly defined and very limited political range of ideological opinions they believe in and that they only allow anyone else to express - or even discuss about - their personal opinions if they mirror those of the moderators.
Or here is a better one:

"Sorry we cant actually fulfill the contractural obligations we are (sort of) legally bound to fulfill, and cant pay you like we promised. So will you take a much smaller amount of money and a bunch of worthless stock options instead? By the way our stock options are going to be worth millions in a few months, so this is actually a better deal for you."

Its like some weird pathogen has infected the whole industry with this!

How to create an interactive vote swing viewer in D3 (Part 1)
I've seen a lot of people denying the moderator is exist. I don't care one way or another.

The real question is was this behavior sexist in this context?

That's much easier to answer: yes.
How we know:

A woman said she was seeing a discrimination pattern.

But what if she's wrong?

Then we'll overcorrect for sexism, realize it, and ideally find a point of moderation. Guess what...we're probably going to do that anyway because no system is perfect so the likelihood of moderately correcting sexism without over-/under-correcting is low.

All we need to do is let the women speak and give their perspective equal footing.

This can more easily be resolved without attempting to force objective judgments. I know that can be a hard idea for science-minded people to swallow. Unfortunately, science has become too objective and still lacks solid frameworks for dealing with the subjective experience, which sexism is so clearly intertwined with.

>You might get a smaller slice of a bigger pie, but it may also represents a smaller real-world valuation if you get diluted too far.

Show example math of how someone could get "diluted too far" resulting in less total value (shares x price) after an investment round that prices the company higher than before. If the total value was truly less, it means it was "down round" which is a different beast.

>, you could be diluted away to nothing.

> If you turn off JS, you get a blank screen.

I browse with JS on (but I block ads and most tracking scripts) and only use a separate browser profile with JS off for sites that look fishy.

Requiring JS for a web app or interactive features in a website is fine.

A few years ago I had to use an old PC for a while, and disabling JS by default improved my experience significantly, but too many websites simply didn't display any content without JS, or didn't load images. The "web apps vs. web pages" debate has been beaten to death, but being unable to e.g. read a blog post without enabling JS just feels wrong to me.

I'm not sure if things are as bad now.
“De-Risking the Cthulhu” – [Episode #74] Make Money Online
If morale is high, people are motivated (like a nonprofit working for a praiseworthy cause) and there are other feedback mechanisms (like market forces in a startup) then you don't need your employers to be in an office, constantly monitored.

But none of that is true for the NSA.
Human interaction can't be reduced that way. You can't make objective rules for things that are inherently subjective. It's why we have judges to preside over court cases, rather than just follow a flow chart, for example.

I think she's taking a very charitable view of things. She was constantly interrupted by the moderator in a way that the male speakers weren't. There was differential treatment and it didn't sound to me like the moderator was so much more excited about her theories than those of the other speakers when he choose to interrupt.

WebAssembly in itself is not an enemy of freedom, as even Richard Stallman would agree.

The bigger problem, which is also a problem with web scripts in general, is that browsers and script distributors generally make no effort to inform users about what scripts are running, whether they are proprietary or free software, etc.

Any kind of business networking event will help you uncover people with problems, which might translate into customers.
Yeah, this gets into a problem where people use the word "sexism" in a couple different ways, that don't mean the same thing. Mostly conscious vs unconscious, I think? Almost no one goes home and writes, "Dear Diary, today I insulted some women, because I hate women. Let's keep doing that." So of course, if you accuse someone of being that kind of conscious sexist, it's a huge insult. You're calling them a sad hate monster person. When we do talk about other people's sexism, especially if those people don't have a lot of practice talking about unconscious bias, it might be a good idea to reassure them that we're not calling them a hate monster.

But that cuts both ways, and it's possible to be unfair in the other direction. If someone comes to me and says "I think what you did was sexist," it would be fair and polite of me to assume they meant "unconsciously sexist." If I want to ask for reassurance about that, sure that's fine, but not fair for me to put words in their mouth like "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A CONSCIOUS SEXIST?!" when I know that both meanings exist.

So yeah, sorry for the long reply, but here's why your comment made me think of it: Saying "that wasn't sexist; so-and-so is actually less assertive" kind of assumes that we're talking about conscious sexism. If we're talking about unconscious sexism instead (the charitable assumption here), that difference-in-perceived-assertiveness might be precisely the problem that we're worried about. This is kind of a nitpicky distinction, except that accusing someone of accusing you of conscious sexism, can be kinda sorta flirting with bad faith?
No, this behavior is likely not biological. It's not a universal behavior, there are cultures where this phenomenon is reduced or completely lacking. That means it is likely a social construct, not biological.
