That's a reasonable concern. If Leo got hit by a bus the code quality would certainly suffer. He's pretty good about cleaning up PRs etc after merge, by which I mean, even if he isn't the only developer right now he does a lot of work to make sure the C++ code is up to snuff.

> It's just sad that so much fighting and ego has prevented technical collaboration. I'm a supporter of the Core devs but Emin is a genius who should be respected.

Emin has a bad track record of lying about his work.

For example, he claimed in the announcement(1) for his Teechan payment channel scheme that it could do 2480 transactions per second, but neglected to mention that it achieved that by failing to actually write those transactions to disk and storing them in RAM only. If your computer crashes, you can lose money in Teechan. This is not unlike advertising the high performance figures achieved by making a new RAM-only database, without advertising the fact that you achieved them by storing everything in RAM.

Similarly, Emin's announcement and paper also gave the impression that payment channels weren't currently possible to implement on Bitcoin without segwit, when in payment channels with similar properties to Teechan have been possible to implement for multiple years now via BIP65. Oddly, BIP65 is cited in the Teechan paper, but for an unrelated reason.

Then there's how Emin's PR around that announcement presented Teechan as something that could be implemented right away as a replacement for segwit via Intel SGX, without mentioning that Intel required SGX users to get licenses to use it in production, and Teechan didn't have one.

I could go on, but that's just a single project... The sad thing is Emin is often right and can do good work, but with a track record like that it's no surprise that people aren't interested in working with him.

Looks completely out of context. Undisclosed income is black money. You pay taxes on salary/income (most of which is deducted at source). The state does and will almost always know your salary/income, period.
Reason not to have open salary?

Disclaimer: I do think too, that eschewing to talk about their salaries hurts all of us most of the time. But...

When I saw that at a job a real bully-like dickhead got consistently underpaid the last thing any of us well paid people would have done is to tell him our numbers. The only reason he told us his salary was to make us jealous...
Nope, it didn't have that feature, though it had some basic foundations. It got removed as several others firefox features for no good reasons.

There's also tab groups and tab groups helper but those are about to disappear[1] and make firefox useless for this use case.

According to its developer it is the only of his extensions that may have a shot at surviving webextensions, though requires a rewrite and dropping of some of the useful features.

Tab Groups has a shot. I took on this project after it was
decided to remove the built-in Tab Groups from Firefox, as
I thought it could be a good and fun learning experience;
it hasn't been, if anything it's been stressful and
time-consuming. I don't really use groups outside of my
development profile, with my browsing habits I only find
them useful to a point, they're helpful for my
development/coding workflow, but I've used them maybe twice
in my main profile during normal browsing.

Its core functionality and basic workflow probably can be
made into a WebExtension, but only after an almost complete
rewrite of the code (with some major work done on Firefox's
side as well!), and still stripped down of at least some of
its features. Many of the new groups features I've wanted
to add since the beginning are impossible though, for the
same reason as I mentioned above: they either don't fit the
scope of what can be allowed through WebExtensions or their
implementation would be far too complex to do on my own.
Okay, well let's take the BBC as a microcosm shall we? One of the most liberal places you can possibly work and overwhelmingly all the top jobs go to men (2/3 men) and men are paid more for similar value of work.

Here's a link: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40653383

The idea you could possibly be arguing other organisations than the BBC are fairer is absurd - they are most likely far worse!
I'm surprised that Steve is working for such a long time in the start-up industry and seemingly hasn't caught on that the in-company politics won't evolve, because the meta-company politics of the start-up world are already efficient.

If you don't consider jobs and companies as something that should live longer than you, it's totally fine as it is. Switching jobs is not a big deal, if you have lots of new options and get paid well. When small start-ups get the next innovation loop better than the current set of big companies it's fine, because people still make money, just a set of different people.

People who want to make money by working, still make money. People who want to make money by investing, still make money. New innovation really happens, no matter if the current people on top get it or not.
Your point? If you wished to imply that because Jobs did it - it's the way to go, you're committing a fallacy of "appealing to authority" [1]

As a matter of style, your request for more information wasn't simply that; it feels more like an attempt to find reasons to entirely dismiss it. Also, the request shows no awareness of the fact that humans are complicated and in fact do do self-destructive things that aren't in anyone's best interests.

Ignoring such details, the story still clearly simply communicates the point that there are situations in which non-disparagement clauses can be morally useful; namely, those in which the disparagement is malicious, fraudulent or unfounded, only some of which are remediable without such a clause. Getting down into further detail on this particular story wouldn't seem to help anyone.

Completely agree! It came out just after I decided to ditch vim and use emacs. This book has helped me a whole lot with understanding emacs.

Unless things have changed in the last week, your info on the backlog of transactions is out of date. There was a concerted spam campaign from April to June of this year that made the backlog grow and transaction fees go up, but that has ended around the time Segwit2X was getting committed.

You also don't seem to understand that Segwit is an increase in the block size, up to about 4MB, and there are very good engineering reasons for keeping blocks smaller-- namely larger blocks increase centralization when the Great Firewall of China is taken into account.

Ideally yes, in reality you cannot process everything so you filter the information based on the author's importance.

Don't worry too much, each person is different. I am WFH'ing for a good several years now, and largely enjoy it. Also, I believe, in my case pros outweigh the cons.

Lucky to have a family, which does help a great deal in this situation. But, I do sometimes worry about it, but as a result compensate for it - exercising to stay fit/lean. Also, always try to be on the cutting edge of tech - HN/similar is great for that.

Edit: Just to add two more points:

1) Social networks: One might think, that they will help in this situation. But again, its different for everyone. I find, in my case their use is detrimental. So after having disconnected from them totally (save a pseudonymous twitter a/c for news/venting), I find it more peaceful, also I found my friendship with good friends has improved. And Facebook friends withered off.

2) Another thing, I learnt a few years ago, some people need social interactions to re-energize where as for some people it is solitude. Are you the type, who if goes for a walk in the park, and when people try to hold a long conversation, do you like it? Or would you rather be left alone after greeting/short-conversations. I definitely, am the second type. (If I am portraying my personality to be totally anti-social, then that's inaccurate. As my social needs are fulfilled well, by family and friends. May be if I had less of that, then would definitely like to have long talks with strangers in the park. Each person has different situation and needs, that's the key point).
Under this system the words are what become easier to distinguish (after some practice?), not the symbols.
> - There is an immediate scaling problem: The mean and median blocksize is converging on the max blocksize of 1MB, and transactions waiting to get into the block blow out on a daily basis to 20MB. This backlog of waiting transactions causes users to pay high fees to get their transaction to the front of the queue, and causes delays in processing/confirmation times.

> Given the voracity of the debate, SegWit2X is a practical compromise we should adopt to move forward

Agreed.

> because the growth of transaction volumes will likely be exponential for the next decade.

Maybe the answer to this is extreme-pruning blockchains, e.g. MimbleWimble.

> some people think the blocksize is a fundamental part of the genius breakthrough in technology that is the blockchain, and so cannot be tinkered with. This is wrong

I don't think they claim that blocksize is directly fundamental, what they might say is that decentralization is fundamental, and blocksize changes could undermine it.

It depends a bit on the market for labour. In Norway employers are organised to a higher degree than workers are in unions (IMNHO because business owners understand economics and will readily seek to strengthen their position and lower risk, while workers are more easily sold on the naive dream of individual success through "hard work"). But either way increaaed pay and better work conditions has largely been a result of collective bargaining and strikes. And most employers aren't free to simply give anyone any kind of benefits, because through their employer organisation they've already agreed to collective bargaining. Any employer is free to not organise - but like a worker without a union will most likely just put themselves in a poorer bargaining position.

As for highly individual compensation - that would (should) depend on being able to tell how much value a person brings in. And apart from sales, I don't know of many positions where there's a good way to measure that - especially if you try to consider the collective efficiency of a company. Is taking time out of your day to train new employees a net gain for the company? Should you be rewarded or punished if it is?

And there's the long time perspective to consider: should all workplaces cater to workers of all ages, and in life phases? Do you place different demands on an 18 year old, a 30 year old and a 60 year old worker?
I didn't know of this one, is its tab management any good ? As in how do you move tabs around groups, open/duplicat/close tabs and groups ?

The 'simplified' in its name makes me doubtful it has any of the advanced features I need.

2. Rule #1 is of no practical use.

Is there anything related to the idea that even though physics limits information to at most the speed of light, you can still guarantee that "two events c*t distance apart both follow the laws of physics" in less than t time (0, really), so "the laws of physics affects things everywhere" is in some sense superliminal?

Even if the inputs really only rely upon states which are together unknowable before t (which includes the knowledge that two events occur in the first place..) - in this sense, no information is transferred, I suppose.
Often Murphy's Law is just poor planning.

1. Two is one and one is none. Redundancy helps for critical situations.

2. 95% of the code is usually done by launch, but that remaining 5% is often the hardest part that people procrastinated on. Usually certain kinds of bugs.

3. People tend to cram in more features on the last minute, adding more bugs.

If anything projects should be planned out with lots of "do nothing" padding right before launch.

This appears to be quite similar to FLIF (http://flif.info/) and to some extent BPG (https://bellard.org/bpg/). There's no shortage of image formats that are better then JPEG and some have been around for quite a while.

The problem is in software/hardware support, particularly in browsers. JPEG has a lot of momentum. WebP is only supported in Chrome/Opera (https://caniuse.com/#feat=webp) and IE/Android don't even support animated PNG yet (https://caniuse.com/#feat=apng).

I did loads of research on this for a web app dev book, which I'm currently updating for the second edition. Browser image support hasn't changed much since it was originally published.

I realize that most farm workers up to now have been immigrants.

I was trying to find out how things would work if a legal worker alternated between working on farms and living on welfare somewhere out of any work season.

The UK is starting a similar shakeup, most seasonal agricultural work is done by workers from poorer countries in the EU who go back home once the work is done.

I feel that it will be hard to find the market rate for this kind of work in the short term.
The company I work for at the moment has two values/myths that have worked really well at preventing situations like this. Early on, just before I joined at around the 150 person stage, the employees self organized values. One of these was Daytime is Precious. Interestingly it was applied equally to the idea of don't waste time (meetings etc) and to the idea that everyone has a life outside of work. The second was the idea that teams are anonymous, and decide themselves what they work on.

In reality these are ignored at times when required. But they're so embedded in company culture that you need a pretty good reason to do so and more importantly most employees are comfortable challenging management when they do.

I'm not sure how to replicate this but letting employees set the company values once you get to a certain size is likely a good call.
Finland also. You can check people's tax rate and then quite easily make an accurate estimate of their salary based off that. I'm not aware of anywhere to look it up for free (offhand) but it's no more than 10e last time I heard.
You've never seen a panel dismount itself through wind force only.
Last time I tried the groups that were opened when quitting firefox would reopen at next launch but you could not "reopen" a closed group. Having more than one window was asking for trouble as in risking losing all your groups and tabs because there another firefox window opened in the background or the downthemall manager window when you closed the main firefox windows.

Workaround is to always quit firefox using the ctrl+q shortcut, though at times groups will reopen with the correct number of tabs but they're all empty.

Best bet is to manually save your session at times.

Progressive JPEG is slightly different but JPEG2000 is very interesting. The wavelet transform is pretty clever in how it arranges the frequency components.

It's a shame JPEG2000 never took off, probably due to the patent issues. It has a niche in medical imaging though.

I wrote my thesis on this topic, over a decade ago now. When doing image recognition you only need to read the first small part of a JPEG2000 file to get good results, which has obvious advantages. You can ignore the high detail bits at the end.

Could you please elaborate how that worked technicall? Does that affect git log authorship metadata? What about discussions on company chat/maillist about the issues being worked on, are they also anonymous? Does this make tracking real contributions of individuals impossible?
More a reflection of insufficient logging telemetry at higher inspection (debugging) levels.

If you have the above and still can't figure it out, maybe you're looking at too much. Sometimes it can help to isolate which stage things appear to go off the rails and then turn up the detail when you've got an idea where to start the search.

If anyone wants to be part of the decision making process, they really should strive to get in that room. And when they get there, they will appreciate the absence of noise from people who think their voices automatically matter. If a company doesn't have a way to gather important feedback from its workers, then that is a failure. But that does not equate to everyone needing to be in that room.

When I started out, my goal was to have a meeting every week and to include everyone. It was a waste of time. People would throw out ideas they had no intent to pursue, and when they were not talking would start fiddling with their phones.

You'd be surprised how many people don't value other people's time, or even other people's ideas. It's easy to imagine you could make a difference or be that difference, but if you truly believed you should have a say, then you should make it known, and either prove yourself, or find a job that comes with the satisfaction you desire. Like, maybe a more team oriented environment.

The truth is, especially at a large tech company, you are replaceable. No one is asking for your personal touch be it at a Foxconn assembly line or an engineer at Cisco. Unless of course, your job title includes "designer" or "architect" etc. But otherwise you're there to do the impersonal work you agreed to do for the impersonal money they're paying you. That's all a job is. You get more for better skills and more experience / less risk. All they are looking for is a guarantee that the work will get done.

This isn't to say you shouldn't have fun or that you shouldn't make the most of it. It's just saying that if fun or "most" entails being heard by execs or barking up the tree, then you will pay for it one way or the other; either with your emotional well being, or with lower pay due to greater overhead for being noisy and needy.

Managers are paid human sound barriers that permit lower quality hires for less pay. This is an important role, as are those being managed. But to think you can get past the manager who's very job is to silence you is the wrong approach. Don't raise your voice or kick harder. You need to become a manager. Either that or go work at a smaller company where the CEO sits across the room.
