Firefox does have their own, documented and seemingly stable remote debugging protocol. I haven't used it recently, but there is the Valence project (https://github.com/mozilla/valence) which provides adapters for their debugging tools for other protocols, namely Chrome's remote debugger. In the past, I have used this to debug Chrome with firefox's devtools. Maybe it works for your needs?

The cynical explanation:

1. We work in tech, and some of us have already developed opinions on Google. We have small worlds and in them some things seem disproportionately large.

2. Most posters are American. Examining how the US state uses violence is never going to be comfortable for them.

3. Decades of misinformation have created a layer of innuendo and whataboutism around acts like whistleblowing and certain kind of political protests. Google is under fire because it simply hasn't yet operated the kind of propaganda machine available to other organs of our economy.

4. People have already been 'primed' to respond to this story by a slow buildup of other stories. Your story hits a blindspot. The good news is that continued messaging, continued posting can gradually overcome that effect if it's targeted at the right people.
You're proving the parent's point. They said those EU countries do NO better.
Hmmm - one serious thought - 'makers' thinking of playing with 1+ watts should also seek out videos of what happens to normal consumer and better non laser grade optics when used as focusing or steering elements - I knew of a lab that basically had very fine powered optical glass blown into the nearby walls (it was empty during the test) - and one less serious thought, from the same lab where I first encountered this sign... "Do not look in the laser with your good eye" :-)

50 cent get rich or die trying is an excellent example of a poorly mastered album produced around the same time as well, vocals distorted throughout almost (if not) the entire album.

Correct. That's one of the reasons why I am looking to leave my current job. Ultimately management has no appreciation or understanding of software development so most projects have more managers asking "insightful" questions or asking for status than people doing the work.
So...maybe...consolidate the process of executing hundreds of little things?

Do you know the details for the local drive backup option?

I saw on their features list that it supports backup to a local SFTP and NAS server. Any idea what they mean by NAS? i.e. they support a branded NAS like Synology or do they support "any" NAS as in support for SSH file transfer or something?
For someone out of the area, why would you do such a thing?
There is an interesting phenomenon of exclusivity/sunk-cost boosting ratings for rarer or harder to acquire items.

That is also a problem with movie ratings (I just noticed that you mentioned movies). Critics (and audiences) at pre-screenings are generally significantly more favorable to a movie than an equivalent group in a normal theater. I would not be surprised if the same thing applied to foreign movies, and other types of "whales".
RTFS? What this mean?

Is like "some inside knowledge" but undocumented?
That's actually a fun read. Just loom at this section where they are making an absurd logical Yoga move to get ISPs classified as "information providers" and not a "telecommunication provider":

In contrast, Internet service providers do
not appear to offer “telecommunications,”
i.e., “the transmission, between or among
points specified by the user, of information
of the user’s choosing, without change in the
form or content of the information as sent
and received,” to their users.

For one, broadband Internet users do not
typically specify the “points” between and
among which information is sent online.
Instead, routing decisions are based on
the architecture of the network, not on
consumers’ instructions, and consumers
are often unaware of where online content
is stored.

So instead they're classifying ISPs as "content providers", when any plain reading of the law can only result in the conclusion that a "content provider" is supposed to be a third party such as a newspaper's website or HN.
Sauce Labs and BrowserStack have been in that space for quite a while now.

[pdf] Selfie and the Basics: single-file C compiler, MIPS emulator and hypervisor
The rules for C and Java are different. In Java, it's guaranteed that the assignments in the constructor to fields marked as final is visible to other threads before the newly constructed object is (unless you stash a reference to it before returning to the constructor), but C has no such guarantee, so in C you have to put the memory barriers yourself.
That is not really a valid option. No source, but I'm sure a very very large proportion of Google revenue comes from the US and EU. They would comply if required to. There is no way they would leave those markets.
Obviously the plugin isn't the issue, the fact that my browser will now be uploading X MB/sec, which I have no control over, to random peers. This sucks, especially because I have capped monthly bandwidth from my penny-pinching ISP.

And when your load balancers fail you can be the one responsible for fixing it instead of Google. The internet is brittle. You should use servers at different clouds / data-centers and use DNS fail over for specifically this reason. Maybe even use 2 different cloud based DNS providers.
net neutrality ensures you can get to youtube\twitter\reddit\facebook without the ISP charging you more or throttling sites. It has nothing to to with free speech or altering the policies of individual sites.

Think of it like water. Your water company doesn't care if you are flushing the toilet or taking a shower. They just give you water and charge a rate. The internet works this way now and we want to keep it that way.

Opposing net nutrality means you will end up with this: http://www.wordstream.com/images/what-is-net-neutrality-isp-...

Slightly terrifying
> That's an interesting hypothesis, but I'd want to see more evidence that "a reviewer who believes its true rating should be 3 stars is motivated to give it 1 star."

I doubt it's thought about in precisely those terms, but I've certainly thought "that's overrated/underrated" before, and had that affect my rating.
Up to a certain scale I think being completely off the cloud is never out of the question.

But if you're a small-ish team with ambitions of building something that may one day need to scale quickly to support a large influx of traffic / customers (generally unannounced / unplanned), I think it's insane not to have a cloud strategy / presence.

I have never seen research on it, but my hunch is that given that a large number of websites / services end up being impacted simultaneously, it's probably better to be down when everyone else is, than being the only one down.

In my experience when there's a large-scale outage, that information is far more likely to get back to the end user a lot faster, and in a fashion where it may not even impact their perception of your business (ie. maybe they originally experienced the issue on someone else's website / app).

But you can be certain that while you're down when everyone else is up, your potential and existing customers / users are far more likely to blame you and begin searching for alternatives.
All praise the cloud! Blessed be the cloud!

I see, you want a functional language with first class concurrency, which also values high single thread performance and low memory footprint?

I don't know of many, I'm thinking Julia JoCaml or Red maybe a little.

but their approach currently requires manually annotating functions with "async," creating an incompatible calling convention with existing Rust code.

Can this be avoided? How else?

Great story but I fail to see the connection. This is a case of don't shit where you eat. If you want to speak out against Google then don't belong to an organization funded by Google.
Hmmm you're right. Interesting
Excellent point. Per your question I'm also curious if there is a way to make aggregate ratings more useful as a quality measurement.

For instance, if I see a product on Amazon with a 4.8 average rating but notice a lot of very angry 1 star ratings, I'm likely to infer that there may be quality control problems.

Amazon displays a histogram so the shopper can assess the meaning of the distribution heuristically.

There's also the issue of whether ratings should be absolute or based on value. If I buy some obviously knockoff ear buds for $6 and they are way better than expected, I'd give them 5 stars, but if they had cost $50 I'd have given a three star review.

So for shopping it seems that there are multiple signals being aliased into a single star rating.

The Problematization of the World
I don't think any sane person doubts intelligence is genetic and inheritable.

I think the other poster's point was more that there isn't a simple genetic switch that adds 5 IQ points. There appear to be many complex factors that are part of intelligence and currently we are not sure how to untangle that mess to get simple thing we can do to make people smarter.
Its like suggesting that the gameboy meant the end of pc gaming just because everyone liked that pokemon thing so much. The applications are so different in terms of scope they're not really worth comparing even though they essentially do the same thing.
It would be a lot more work, but one could check the validity of ratings based on how other users rate things compared to this user.

Say there are 4 games. Most users who rate all 4 rate them similar, except for the 4th game that always gets really low. So 5,5,5,1 is a normal expected rating, but 1,1,1,5 isn't. So 5,5,4,4 from a high rater or 2,2,2,2 from a low rater would be given more weight than a 1,1,1,5. Other things can be added such as weighting a user's ratings a low impact if they have too few scores to determine ratings from.

This reminds me of the problem of determining the answer key to a multiple choice test given only the answers of the test takers.
I just gave attr another look -- I bounced off it before because of the cutesy naming. It's a matter of taste, but I thought it was unlikely that a library that made such a grating decision would be fun to use. My second impression is that I've got to give attr points for clarity: the implementation is short and to the point, considering how much it monkeys around with Python's classes. I can see why you'd want to use it for an API, because it won't endow an object with unwanted Sequence methods. Not an issue in my current job, but your point is well taken.
Is the term SCRUM trademarked? Asking because I'm still seeing a business opportunity here for selling "official" SCRUM master certificates. Believe it or not (and reflecting on non-engineer's desire for status symbols of even the most absurd kind), there are people who, when asked what their profession is, will without irony answer "scrum master".
The value of bad ideas
Why would we expect to get morally worse individuals? Given that we would not be making any changes in that area (if there even is any area of the genome that corresponds to morality) you'd expect it to be unchanged overall - unless it negatively correlates with intelligence, but I don't know of anything proving that's the case.

Consumer demand is not a factor. ISPs in the US have a monopoly over areas and can effectively prevent new competitors from coming in. There is no innovation. The only plan is to extract the most amount of money from customers while spending the least amount of money to maintain the system. Killing net neutrality allows them to extract even more money from both sides: customers and content providers.
It is. I wish them a nice and comfy market share mat to keep going nicely.
I don't think internet access is a human right, a simple test is if the internet goes down are my rights being violated?

Can you really put this in the same category as the right to pursue happiness or health? or the right to defend yourself?

Classifying everything as a right is super fun and feels important but it actually takes away from the actual human rights.

Health care is another example - do you have the right to an EKG machine? or a drug that was just invented using thousands of man hours of pharma research? Should those people work for free so that a poor persons rights are not violated?

I have no idea where my power or water come from, or where the cell towers are located for my phone, or the satellites they communicate with. I don't want/need to know. Most cloud providers tell you which region of which country you're in, most people don't need to know much more (and if you do, then dont use cloud)
My answer from the trenches is that it just does not work that way. You have to try out if something works. Something can make sense forever in your head until you try it in the real world.

I'd say not testing your ideas and instead spending forever overthinking/planning them is actually a leading cause of procrastination for PhDs.

Why?

1. They don't have to give good service. Most are monopolies.

2. They already do pass all costs, and all profit margins created, to customers.

3. They want higher profit margins than currently being squeezed.

4. They want more entities to pay them. New classes of customers.

5. Deeper the pockets and fewer the paying entities, easier it would be for ISPs. HBO charges the Cable providers, for long long time HBO didn't allow individuals to buy directly from them, subscribing through a Cable provider was the only option. It allowed HBO to have a simple money supply from big entities with deep pockets which were easy to control. HBO could simply terminate one cable provider. Comcast can simply terminate preferential treatment to Vimeo if they didn't pay. Much easier than sending 4th reminder and collection notice to 65 year old Mrs. Smith.
Because ISPs in the US have monopolies over their areas. There is no incentive to provide good service when you have no competition.

It shouldn't make much too much difference unless you like to listen to them really loud (damaging-your-hearing levels).

Two things come to mind though: voltage/current delivery of your amp, and damping ratio.

The first depends on the characteristics of your amplifier. Some are better at delivering current, some voltage. The lower impedance (32) is better suited to high-current/low-voltage sources, which includes most portable devices, phones, etc. Conversely, the higher impedance (250) is better for high-voltage/low-current sources like tube amps.

The second is about the ratio of the headphone impedance to the amp output impedance. You want a high ratio, so if your source has a large output impedance then the higher impedance headphones will sound better. Good headphone amps sometimes specify the output impedance, or you can measure it.

Not the parent, but I reached that same conclusion.

You're not trusting them blindly because any and every ethical protection you decide your procedure needs, will be there. In addition to the ones the IRB thinks need to be there too.

When you implement a workplace safety policy in your company, making it comply with OSHA regulations isn't "blindly trusting authority to decide what is safe". If you think a practice is unsafe, yet OSHA thinks it's safe enough, they're not gonna prevent you from taking more precautions.

Same deal with code reviews. You aren't blindly trusting your colleague to decide what is bad or good code. You're adding their polish to yours.

If every material thing that the developed world has is a "basic human right", then effectively nothing is a basic human right. Furthermore it conflates material comfort with the inherent inalienable rights that human beings are born with, which I think is quite dangerous.
