Russia to Legalize and Regulate ICOs
Thanks! It looks interesting - might give it a try in a VM.
Yup, FF has just missed the mark on so many points that Chrome just blows past them. Any JS-heavy web applications (YouTube, HBO Go, Netflix) run like garbage in FF. Switch over to Chrome and they are buttery-smooth. Sucks to say this too as someone who's used FF since its beta.
That is because they still haven't fully adopted "new" file format association APIs (introduced with Windows 7).
Edit: I see now that jhasse answered most of this already but I think mine adds some details so I'll leave it here.

I think alt-f4 closes the window while ctrl-q closes down Firefox entirely (in my KDE setup at least.)

On Windows ctrl-q doesn't work for me though.

As for why I sometimes use it it is because I can then do a restore session after restarting Firefox and get back everything.

(On Windows I have to find the now hidden menu and select Quit Firefox or something like that.)
I'd hazard a guess that the cost of moving IPs would severely outweigh the cost of switching VIP implementations, in terms of preventing a move across providers.

I have had to do this a couple of times in the past due to a broken screen and a broken battery. The hardest part was Google Authenticator wasn't automatically restored with all my accounts, and logging into each service to set it up again was tedious.

I'm actually surprised I didn't manage to lock myself out of some service that was relying on Google Authenticator.

As some experts have said, this is a terrible idea. The moment you say you have nothing on the phone to the agent (because you're a l33t clever haxor who can encrypt and hide it), you've committed a federal crime. Best not to have anything on the device, and then you're not lying when you say there's nothing on there.
How much do you give out then? At some point you'll be giving someone a dose so high they are guaranteed to die. Obviously no one can do that because of legal justifications. However now you have to set an arbitrary limit to what someone can receive. The user may not agree with this amount and will seek to acquire more. Thereby resorting to the same tactics as before it was given away. I don't think it's as simple as you want it to be.
But what if you want to stop and contemplate something? Marine fauna will probably flee from moving objects.

Out of curiosity, if you're able to answer it:

Does YC now collect, or has it ever collected, (anonymized?) data/survey-responses from founders (YC alums or not) on their original motivations for starting the company, and attempt(ed) to correlate that with outcomes?

If so, are you willing/able to reveal any of the things YC learned?

If YC hasn't attempted to do this: why not?

How can you be so sure? Has anyone borrowed your phone? Have you ever left your phone out of your eyesight? Are you sure you don't have any malware on your phone downloading all kinds of content without your knowledge? Has anyone you emailed or texted years ago suddenly become the subject of an investigation without your knowledge, now subjecting you to interrogation?

This sounds interesting academically, but what I don't understand (I have the same problem with Siacoin, StorJ and Swarm) is:

You could build a Dropbox clone where users have the option of contributing storage to get rewarded with real currency. Why would anyone want to use the decentralized version instead, both as a user and as a contributor of storage?

The decentralized version is going to be much harder to get right for the developers, and why should the users believe that the technology is trustworthy? I just don't see the advantage, but I would be truly interested in hearing what I may be missing.

> Dev tools. Liked Chrome's better.

They definitely are. To this day I'm baffled I'm not sent to the debugger when clicking a line reference in the console.

But I still use Firefox as main browser. Since the pages I visit and the pages I develop are always in different places it's pretty easy to have one browser for development only.
you could achieve some trust through a reputation system. the longer you've been reliable the more reliable you are.
What do these things cost?
Exactly. As long as there's demand to keep hosting files in the network, there WILL be providers hosting your files. Even if a hosting company who hosts 5% of the network (that's a lot) decides to exit the and stop hosting, your files are spread between enough computers and you only need about half of them to be online to recover your files.
Flash is now significantly broken on Firefox under Ubuntu anyway (Bugzilla #1374559) and it's been classified as a wontfix (P5), so continuing the irony, downloading Chrome is probably closer to what the user wanted to do.
(Focusing just on Appalachia is going off on a bit of a tangent, but in any case...)

This is the issue. There are no good solutions for Appalachia, but they don't want to hear that because the reality isn't as good as the fantasy that people like Trump want to sell them (that the "good ole days" are coming back).

Placing blame on "Liberals" and hitching their horse to Trump is living in a fantasy land rather than dealing with their situation rationally. The reality, is that those towns are basically dead. They are slated to become modern-day ghost towns unless someone can figure out a way to bring a new industry to those areas. "Liberals" didn't bring about this situation, the realities of coal did. Maybe the "Liberals" didn't do anything of note to help them, but that's different than saying that this situation wouldn't exist if only the "Liberals" hadn't been in power.

To bring this back to the topic at hand, it's an example of how it's easier to sell a positive fantasy than a negative reality (or even a long-term positive reality that has an unpalatable -- e.g. need to move away, retrain -- short-term reality). So this idea that we need to "fight ideas with ideas" fails in the face of realities like this. The best ideas don't always win. People will fling themselves off of a cliff just because someone convinced them that the landing will be soft (even if it doesn't make any logical sense).
After seeing how many contracts get hacked I wonder why ethereum doesn't implement a way to patch them. I know the blockchain is immutable but they could publish a diff and allow developers to patch bugs before it's too late

However, this is mostly about me wondering if you're being honest about this. I have seen this rhetoric before (show me a link!) and it usually isn't long before someone does actually link something. Usually, excuses are made why they don't count.

I find it very doubtful someone never showed you the racism/hate straight from the source when demanded.
I believe Joomla is worse in every conceivable way. And then of course there is WordPress, which I sincerely hope is the last major procedurally-written codebase. PHP has come a long way as a language (it can almost be confused for something sensible these days) but lots of issues with large libraries.

I think that many of the changes that Mozilla has made to Firefox that people in this thread are complaining about may not have directly driven away a large number of users, but, they indicate a serious problem with decision making within Mozilla.

It is clear that the only reason many changes were made, and features removed, was solely because Chrome did it. And Google has very different motivations and goals than Mozilla. Google wants to make money, and use Chrome as a pillar in their platform. So, by emulating Chrome so closely, not just does it indicate that the developers are making bad decisions, it also means that the browser will not be as good.

EXAMPLE:
They proposed removing FTP support from Firefox, and the justification was just a link to an announcement that Chrome was doing it. [1]
It makes sense for Chrome to do it from a business perspective, but it does not make sense for Firefox.

Or, better yet, I remember that there was talk of having Chrome switch back to using a native pdf renderer back from the javascript one. This sacrifices portability and arguably security for speed.

Or sometimes there are design decisions in Chrome that are outright hostile to the user, to help Google's partners, such as removing the "save as" option for html5 video. It is only a matter of time until Firefox makes it harder to download video, solely because Chrome is doing it. When Google does this, I at least understand that their sabotaging this functionality is part of their larger strategy. Mozilla doing it is just baffling.

I mean, the original Firebird went in the opposite direction as Internet Explorer 6. If Mozilla had the same culture back then, they would have put all of their resources into making an inferior clone of Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer was a better user experience in a lot of ways, especially for the first few years. But people started moving to Firefox because it was worth it. The security, control, and flexibility was worth it. I specifically remember turning people onto Firefox because they were sick of ads, and there were special add-ons that they wanted.

If Mozilla wants Firefox to work, it needs to do what Chrome wont let you do. It needs to integrate aggressive ad-blocking. Let you have control over the content you view. I think that people would happily use Firefox if it empowered them.

A combination of books and teaching. I'm experimenting with coaching and a company is sponsoring my React Native writing on a cobranded blog/yt channel.

I publish monthly breakdowns on swizec.com and that lists all revenue streams.
The problem Firefox had for a long time was the terrible Flash plugin combined with a lack of per-tab processes. That meant that a single flash element on one page would slow down the entire browser.
I removed the flash plugin completely a couple of years ago and havent looked back.
At least EDB used an inspectable and reproducable test. I think posting links to performance comparisons is fine when the performance comparison can be independently verified.
Because once they do get it right, it's open source and no one can take it away. A centralized system can and most likely will eventually degrade and disappear. Also, privacy.

For me the compelling features of Firefox over chrome are

* better search/address bar behaviour (particularly in finding relevant bookmarks. Chrome wants to turn everything into a Google search)

* Integration with Firefox on android (which I need because it supports ad-blocking extensions)
Yes, but they don't match the data types your SQL database supports, do they? You're talking to a remote service here., i.e. varchar, decimal, datetime, etc. in SQL aren't the same as in whatever language you're using.

That's true for JSON as well, but you probably need JSON on the other side (the API) as well...
> it seems that this doesn't provide protection for things like calling for violence against a religious/sexual/race group.

That's the job of the Constitution, as the SCOTUS made clear in Brandenburg v. Ohio, in which an actual KKK leader was being charged after participating in an armed rally and talked about getting revenge on various races and on those who supported them, like the President and Congress:

"(..) the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."
The way I see it is, they are trying to save expenses wherever they can so they have budget for other major projects. India imports pretty much all of its oil spending precious foreign currency reserves. So if they can save few thousand litres of fuel every year that's a good saving.

Secondly, IR has ambitious project to electrify all major routes, please see section 5 of the link for ongoing projects (a total of 20k RKM)

Thirdly, there is huge ongoing project to set up dedicated freight corridor across the country. To separate freight and passenger traffic.

Lastly, they are spending huge money on modernizing the train stations.

All these have to come from the same annual budget (except dedicated freight corridor project)
You've lost me on what you're arguing. I'm saying "we want to spend more time integrating open hardware designs into RISC-V devices and less time making new CPU cores in our fun new HDLs".

And you're saying "we can't" because... why? I know that junk is there on OpenCores too. I've looked at it. I've synthesized some of it. No one uses it on silicon. That's the part we need to fix. And it's not because of SPICE parameters being behind an NDA.

There's no reason you can't plug a USB state machine into a per-process line driver, that's the way it works everywhere (even on FPGAs). Synopsys et. al. ship their verilog with the logic carefully isolated from the semiconductor process dependency (for obvious reasons). Don't tell me that open hardware device vendors can't do the same thing. They just haven't, largely because existing open source people are spending their time making CPU cores instead of integrating a SoC (and software stack) made up of open designs that can be plugged into fab-supplied analog blocks in an obvious way.
Immunology is one of the biggest fields that are stepping up to fight cancer. In a nutshell, we are programming the patients immune system to kill its own cancer cells, a marked departure from the general toxic chemotherapy that weakened almost every dividing cell in the human body. I believe people in a few decades will look back and express disbelief at the barbaric way we tried to treat cancer.
Filecoin and IPFS assemble the world’s knowledge and data into one big content-addressed graph (Merkle DAG), and attempt to make it accessible to any device, anywhere. This is great because it allows for all kinds of use cases apart from just securely storing and sharing files. So the idea is not to build an app, but public infrastructure.

When you get to college, you'll be very disappointed to discover that's that's literally the only reason people publish in most cases. It ain't for the money, that's for sure. It's how you make a name for yourself amongst your peers in the same field.

You might get a sneak peek at the publish-or-perish dynamic to a lesser degree when you get to high school- sometimes you can get into special programs where you have a chance to help out with research being done by college students. If you get into a really good program and really distinguish yourself, you can even get your name alongside theirs on the paper.

Unfortunately, you will find that believe it or not, those college students are not already working out which color of Ferrari to buy with their sweet advance from SIGGRAPH or wherever. I think they deserve it personally, because I really care really hard about pushing science and engineering forward, but sadly the big bucks are still going to NFL players and pop stars instead.

The file is encrypted locally before uploading to the network. Then the file is sharded, and the shards are replicated among the nodes. Once a shard falls below a certain replication threshold, it will get copied to a new node.

There are other schemes that don't require a copy of each shard, allowing you to reconstruct the file if any subset of the nodes is online.

I currently work in DNA analysis and the biggest issue I have is conveying to people just "how complicated the math is". Often even I barely have a grasp of the complications of it.

When math produces data that fundamentally challenges your understanding of what's happening under the hood, you (I) really wish there were better ways to visualize what's happening, even if only to verify that it's happening correctly.

It gets hard to do that when your dataset for a single sample is hundreds of megabytes; it becomes difficult to aggregate the visualizations across hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of specific samples.

It's already crap on roads in the US (the US has very few of what you'd call a "street" - "stroad" would be more accurate). Having more VMT even with current speeds makes it worse. It's shameful that EV's are being forced to be loud when urban noise pollution is already terrible.
> What I find fascinating and disappointing is how much the opioid crisis isn't being talked about or addressed proportional to other societal issues.

Actually, it is the opposite. Gun violence, opioid crisis, etc are given too much attention.

The deaths of opioid crisis and gun deaths are minuscule compared to the deaths cause by obesity, sedentary lifestyle, cancer, heart disease, etc.

Take the top two killers in america - heart disease and cancer ( about 600K deaths each ) vs gun violence + opioid crisis ( about 30K each ).

Heart disease by itself kill 10X more people than gun violence and opioid crisis combined.
To answer my own question: the program was LdrDat2Obj[0] and it had an option to ignore stud.dat references inside brick definitions when exporting designs to .obj (you'll still be carrying all the weight of the unseen internal connection shapes but it still represents a pretty huge poly savings to exclude the top studs on export)
