Well duh, of course people would prefer cash if their credit card started costing them money. Credit cards are basically free to the consumer. You could argue that the ever-present fees causes the prices of goods to go up to compensate but it's just really not the case. You can look at merchants that accept and don't accept credit cards and you won't see really any tangible difference between the prices of their services.

What about the relationship between you/Mozilla and the firefox users? This thread is evidence that at least some of the users are not happy that you are (in their eyes) sacrificing their privacy for future performance gains.
I wish there was a way to preemptive lawsuit a industry, before it even undertakes a operation. Basically, a group of people bets with lawsuits on the damages done to society by a industrial operation, forcing anyone to endeavor such operations to build a huge deposit of settlement and legalfees to cover the threat - on for example cutting down "rainforrest". As state actors have proven lousy wardens on these goods of society, maybe the interest of private stakeholders might put such a bounty on the head of damaging activity's, that these cease or be replaced with less "dangerous" replacement endeavors, previously not viable in a market economy that rewards distributed short term damages to everyone.
In the same way, I use VS Code mostly now (for node stuff) but I still load up Emacs and use Magit whenever I need to do serious version control, meaning basically anything more than just "glance at the changes and commit everything."
> You sue when the other person is uninsured.

Well, if you have uninsured driver coverage, you just let your insurance handle both your compensation and collection from the uninsured driver to make themselves whole (including lawsuit, if necessary and likely to be cost effective.)
You defined rewrite rules that reduce an expression down to a 'normalized' form such that two expression are equivalent if they reduce to the same 'normalized' form. These rules are obvious for simple arithmetic expressions.

Is it possible to deduce the normalized form and the rewrite rules from a set axioms automatically (e.g. for relational (like SQL) expression with operands like join, project, filter)?
>They implicitly agree under duress, because their time is worth far too much to even read 10 pages of fine print for every product they use. I'm not being flippant; it bloody well is.

You don't need to read 10 pages of fine print for every product, because it's functionally the same fine print for every product.

If you don't like this, don't ever buy smart devices because they /all/ reserve the right to do this kind of stuff.

I avoid smart devices like the plague. If I want my speakers smart, I'll connect them to a suitable control unit. The only thing I want from my speakers is for them to translate electrical waves into pressure waves, the more accurate the better.

> It's not like there's a simple form that you can fill and which is reviewed and resolved in a few days reliably if your account gets deactivated by mistake.

Even a few days is unacceptable. There are times in my life where, if my Google Calendar, Google Docs, and email had all been shut off simultaneously, even for only a few days, I would have been completely fucked. Think travel, etc.

I switched to a different email provider for this reason.

(Remember that this also includes your phone, if you're on an Android device).
This makes sense--and is quite consistent with what I've heard around some efforts being far more open (ahem) to open sourcing their code than their data.

A lot probably comes down to the size of the moat. If some fairly modest dataset is "good enough" that implies needed data will be widely available can be used by anyone for their automation algorithms. (Regulation could also force some level of standardization at this layer.)

Alternatively, truly vast data sets could turn out to be the difference between decent assistive driving systems, autonomy on highways, and more broadly useful and enabling self-driving technology. Such data sets could end up being outside the capabilities of a few companies who got there first.
>>We actually are solving a massive driver retention problem for them (96% churn)

Forgive me, but how? Is downtime really the issue that makes drivers leave?
Unless you've already internalized how this stuff works, ShaderToy code is pretty incomprehensible. Some of it is commented, most of it isn't, and even then, GLSL is not a great literate coding language.

Here's an example of a blog post I wrote "repackaging" a technique:

Compare to the code I'd found on ShaderToy:

Is it interesting if you've already spent time on this particular thing? Probably not. But it's meant to be a useful introduction, not a novel work.
You're right. I actually only had one or two people in mind when I wrote that comment, and I didn't even realize it until you pointed it out. Thanks.
I had a great trip with a group of friends to Iceland in mid-winter, which was a time that other people were reluctant to go. It definitely made certain travel activities harder or impossible, but we got to experience lots of great things and many prices were lower. We also saw the spectacular Reykjavík new year's fireworks.

But I'd also appreciate this site's advice is handy because weather in a distant place is so unfamiliar and can have such a big impact on a trip.

Another idea: maybe look through each category in the Köppen classification and figure out what weather factors in such a climate would most affect the quality of someone's visit. For example,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classifica...

Then somehow highlight those particular factors for each place. (I don't really know how best to organize this information.)
That doesn't even make sense, unless there are not enough cars being produced. The only situation I remember like that was with the Prius, when gas prices were $4/gal.
Without a doubt focus on enterprise phone conferences - instant minutes for a meeting and action points to follow up. You could even have a "hey notetaker - paul to write the report".

The privacy issue you need to work on but that's the area I would focus on.
Interesting that this has nothing to do with ride sharing (or at least the article doesn't cite that as a reason). I think autonomy and ride sharing will drive used cars nearer to the value of scrap metal within the next 5 years.
The search is really frustrating. Everything I type is not there and then it shows me things that are very far away from what I typed. It may be better to show a list organized by region or show the closest location you do cover to the one that was typed in.

A new tool called the R-factor could help ensure that science is reproducible
Here's my informal and possibly screwy understanding of why translating to microcode doesn't really slow things down: When you've got a bunch of tasks to do, breaking the task-execution process into a pipeline of steps may potentially increase the latency (how long does it take to do a single task), because, well, you've now got to go through several steps do do that task. But (assuming your pipeline is designed well), it will also increase the throughput (how many tasks can you do in a fixed amount of time).

In software, it's likely that latency is not going to be a problem as long as you can get more throughput (you probably don't care if the time between when the program hits your opcode and the CPU actually executes your instruction is 1 nanosecond later than it conceivably could be as long as the number of instructions executed per millisecond is greater).

In any case, yes, you need to expose the same machine code interface, not just so people can write new software using the same code, but so that old code continues to work. It would be a nightmare if every few years there were incompatible changes to the instruction set.
Cool tech and the demo was pretty impressive. My first thought is integrated into CRMs that have call functions - taking notes is an important part of the sales process that many people struggle with.
Good point. I've come to accept that bookmarking tabs is just a mechanism for making me feel OK closing them, and that I will never, ever go back through my bookmarks to look at that stuff. Haven't done it in over 20 years of web browsing, so why would I start now? They're just a psychological crutch. I used them a little before the days of history search in the address bar, but not since.

Doesn't stop me from carefully backing up "bookmarks.html" or similar any time I retire a device or an OS installation, naturally. I must have 30 of those things buried in places like "old_backups/junk/old_laptop_backup/user/desktop/junk/rescued_from_old_hd/floppy_backups/backup/bookmarks.html".

Cool.

Wow, B. A blast from the past, sort of. I had read a good book about BCPL (the ancestor to B) many years ago. IIRC, it was by Martin Richards, inventor of BCPL. Pretty interesting book and language. BCPL and B were both typeless languages, or languages with just one type, the machine word (16 or 32 bits, don't remember). Still I found that many algorithms and programs were expressed rather compactly in BCPL - or so it seemed to me at the time. Was quite junior then, and without exposure to more advanced programming languages - only knew BASIC and Pascal, probably; even C, I only learned a bit later.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCPL

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Richards_(computer_scie...

Also just saw some other interesting stuff from the BCPL article above:

[
BCPL is the language in which the original hello world program was written.[3] The first MUD was also written in BCPL (MUD1).

Several operating systems were written partially or wholly in BCPL (for example, TRIPOS and the earliest versions of AmigaDOS).

BCPL was also the initial language used in the seminal Xerox PARC Alto project, the first modern personal computer; among other projects, the Bravo document preparation system was written in BCPL.
]
Could you tell us more? Was this in some niche segments of discontinued but popular models (like certain Subarus) or were run of the mill cars also like this?
That is an interesting idea.
Personally, I like to use this as a way to prevent myself from impulse buys.

For Example (Easy numbers used for math):

Stupid Random Thing I want to Impulse Buy is $400.00
At $10/hour, this object costs me 40 hours. Is it worth a week's work to have Random Thing I want to Impulse buy?

If 40 hours of work = Object's value to me, then buy

How would Georgia (or a local government in GA on the GA/TN border) go about regulating an entity in Chattanooga, TN that's polluting the air?
Except that's not really what it is. RFCs predate the web, and were originally written in this format, and with existing standards you don't want to unnecessarily change anything, because you never know whether you maybe change the meaning somewhere as a side effect, and you also want to have consistency between standards from the same standards body, so the format was kept, and also, a plain text format was long seen as having the big advantage that it is not easily corrupted by bad rendering software, so there was just some HTML markup added after the fact to help with navigation and such, much while otherwise preserving the presentation.

However, the IETF is moving to markup as the authoritative source, so the pseudo plain text version might be losing relevance.

As a baseline, let's say that you've already done a degree in computer science.

You've completed some deep learning courses (like Stanford's CS231N) and some basic cryptography.

And your goal is to have a lucrative career (preferably by having ownership in a cryptocurrency/deep learning company).
Why is it so dumb to buy a used car off the lot?

I bought an Audi off lease last year. It's still under warranty, free maintenance (until 80k km), low mileage (37k km), fully loaded with options, and I saved $20k vs a new one.

Take a list of sites, for example Alexa top 10,000 and make an automatic script that browse these sites and collect whatever information you need. Have a bunch of devices, phones, laptops, PC's from different brands doing this. This will not cost much and you don't have to spy on your users.
Before decrying how wrong it is, try estimating how much those effects matter.
> how do I know my 3rd party B2 backup system isn't going to cause me extra charges from using API's inefficiently?

Uploads are completely free. I think what you will find is the bulk of your charges will simply be "storage" (at half a penny per GByte per month), the API charges aren't intended to nickle and dime you. We are simply trying to discourage abuse of our API servers.

Creating a Backblaze B2 account is totally free, and if you stay under 10 GBytes it is totally free (and we will cap you to that until you give us a credit card). Seriously, try it out! There is a handy "Reports" page after you log in (look for the word "Reports" along the left. It will tell you EXACTLY what API calls have occurred and how many times.

If you need more than 10 GBytes and are still worried about cost, as part of your experiment look for "Caps & Alerts" along the left after you sign into your B2 account. You can setup daily "Caps" (like for $1/day) so that you absolutely won't exceed your budget until you are comfortable with the B2 service!
Great I'll just throw it on my ....Google drive. Dammit.
ServiceWorker vs Application Cache, I'll take ServiceWorker every time.

When you're talking about a low level primitive, boilerplate is preferable. It means you have options. You can throw Polymer or any other library on top and get what you want out of the standard, while someone else can come with different requirements and not be boxed in by your own.

I do something similar. But I like to factor in my overheads. 40 hours work may pay for that thing. But to work 40 hours I also need to live for a week. So that's a week's rent, food, power and so on. So that thing is probably going to cost me a week and a half of my working life.

> But who would be dumb enough to buy a used car from a lot?

Tens of millions of people. It depends entirely on what you're buying. For example if you want to buy a certified pre-owned vehicle, you're frequently going to buy it off the lot from a dealership. The CPO programs from the major manufacturers are typically excellent. If you're buying a nice used car, with relatively low miles & a recent model year, it's more often dumb to go any other way than a reputable dealer + CPO.
It's even better now - we get down to about 14ms with various recent improvements in style sharing.
Zenit is back in business
In the UK, many cars sold in the past few years are under a so-called Personal Contract Plan (PCP). These are basically sub-prime loans for cars where you lease the car for the difference between its purchase price and its projected depreciated value at the end of the term.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jun/10/car-loans-p...

One of the UK regulators recently warned about the exposure to these loans. "An initial fall in prices
could lead to a surplus of used cars coming to the market, which could further weaken prices and
cause material losses to lenders through their GFV risk." (http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/pra/Documents/publications/re...)
This is an easy benchmark for rejecting a lot of selectors:

Firefox with STYLO_THREADS=1 gets about 160ms on my machine, which is basically parity with safari and chrome. With the parallelism, Firefox gets 40ms. :-)

You can also simulate sequential mode in recent nightlies by ctrl-clicking and loading the tab in the background (we disable parallelism for background loads).
The reason for backup in that case isn't so much dying hardware as it is data corruption or malicious activity.

Backup needs to account for a bunch of failure modes: data failure (corruption, malware, "Windows Ate My Data," user error), hardware failure/loss (drive death, laptop legs), building failure ("all my backups are in that safe that reached 600 degrees internally.....").

Used to be that for serious emergencies you could usually get data recovered by a lab, but with SSDs that's iffy at best or likely not happening at all with drive encryption.

There isn't much choice available.
Statistics are not a substitute for the long-tail effect.

Lack of reporting from non-technical people who aren't aware they can opt-in cannot be corrected statistically, as the two categories of people (technical, non-technical) use the browser very differently.

For made up example, if you type "Yahoo" into the search bar and then type "Search" into the field and then type your search into the third page, you'll be acting as many normal world users do, and you may uncover crashes on page #2 at Yahoo that a technical user would never encounter, simply because they wouldn't type the word "Search" into the search field at Yahoo and trigger a JS bug where "Search" or "Yahoo" gets used one too many places and ends up crashing the CSS parser because it race conditions with repaint.

If that problem affects 0.01% of the Firefox population, that's a lot of people who don't think technically, and do feel regret when we crash and can't help them because we can't see where it crashed.

(Yes, employed. No, I didn't talk to anyone else before I posted here. My own thoughts, I am not a number^Wcorporation, etc.)
Its looking even worse (Or better for a buyer) for electric cars. A cursory craigslist search shows a 2014 Fiat 500e for ~7.5k @33k miles and Nissan Leafs for as little as ~5k @42k miles. All with clean titles.

A used Model S 60 (2013) can be found for ~40k @60k miles, which I think is good but not great, especially considering the quality issues early on.

I'm waiting to pounce on 1st generation electric cars that will be hitting the used market when the Model 3 is mass produced. The reason I haven't bought yet is that my current hybrid is fine and I expect used electric car prices to drop even further.
<< But it's meant to be a useful introduction, not a novel work.

Yes, except it's really a copy/paste job from learnopengl.com and other sources. It's actually not a useful introduction since it just parrots stuff that is already available on other sites.
Let's optimize the if statements away, too (no extra memory accesses or branches, either).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

#define F(n) (1 << (2*(n)-2))
#define B(n) (1 << (2*(n)-1))

int main() {
uint32_t m = F(3) | F(6) | F(9) | F(12) | F(15) | B(5) | B(10) | B(15);
int i;
static char t[4][16]= { "%d\n", "Fizz\n", "Buzz\n", "FizzBuzz\n" };
for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
printf(t[m&3], i);
m = (m >> 2) | (m << 28);
}
return 0;
}

Transforming that into an if-based version is left as an exercise for the reader. :)
This may be temporary, as services like Uber/Lyft increase, and the possibility of Autonomous Vehicles driving down the cost of those services. This would cause the volume of new cars needed to dramatically fall, leading to increased cost of those new vehicles. This would increase the value of used vehicles that are currently priced in.

Would love to hear differing opinions :)
Agreed. I couldn't find much about it. Looks quite smart though (not surprising, given the founders).
