He is a German citizen right? So even if the NZ government were to retract his residency he's still not on the next plane to the US.

Very few states exempt non citizens from the protections against government overreach, as most interpretations of UN's human rights treaties kind of forbids it, so even if he is not a citizen the NZ government still have to obey it's own laws in prosecuting a case against him(the US is notorious for non-compliance with treaties they themselves promoted when a treaty goes beyond the protections offered by the rather washed out US constitution).

The problem here is again that any action taken against Kim Dotcom by the NZ government in spite of it's domestic court case falling apart will be government overreach by just about any sane standard. so there is not a lot neither the US not the NZ authorities can do if the NZ court end up deciding that the he cannot be extradited to the US or convicted under New Zeeland law.

Diplomatically the problem is also that this isn’t a one of against a shady businessman but a part of a trend that have already seen the EU court nullify a data safe haven agreement due to the US court systems rather strange belief that it's not actually bound by any international treaties.
This was released a couple months back, and already discussed on HN. Good release - the UI and taskbar visual improvements are nice. The map view is cool, but not sure how much practical value it added.
It looks like it is not even "blocked", just placed on a list:

>"Probably the biggest issue is (as Grainfrog said) one of word choice, that using the word "blocked" in the title was less constructive than, say, announcing "AdNauseam moved to malware list", and then explaining what this feature is (before now I was not entirely aware of it, personally) and that users may choose to opt out of this feature if they wish to install any of the items listed therein."
You can remove the "censorship" with a 30-second config change. I don't understand why the people on that forum are so up in arms about something this trivial.
Would you then keep the land and move permanently to that location, or would you just sell it after a few years?
I'm sure this has a handful of legitimate users for privacy purposes but I'm genuinely curious how minuscule that user group is vs. the massive user base for piracy, preventing apps from 'phoning home.'

I mean, back in the MSJ days, this was 'the tool' for Mac piracy. It may have more legitimate uses now, but that's how I remember it from back in the day.

And doesn't MacOS' more current built-in firewall potentially take care of a lot of what this would do?
These types of drinks have nothing in common with milk...

The manufacturing process involves grinding almonds, oats, etc, into a very fine particulate powder, mixing it into water.

Then adding in all things necessary to keep it in suspension, and making it drinkable (try "almond milk" without the sugar and see how long it takes you to regurgitate it back out).

Almond-milk wasn't even selling until they placed it into the refrigerated section of the store next to real milk - to confuse the buyers with what it actually was-not.

It is likely that most consumers think the manufacturers press or squeeze the almonds to get at its "milk", and have no idea they are just drinking a few grams of powdered almonds.

I don't know about Pale Moon, but at least Firefox was well-known back in the day for being extremely resource-intensive to compile (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_g...) - I vaguely remember somebody talking about how they had to cross-compile to obtain the Raspberry Pi build, for instance.

Either way, per the developer's post, you can in fact just flip an about:config switch to disable the addon blacklist (not sure if this would also leave you susceptible to actual malicious addons); it's more of an issue of compliance budget/trivial inconveniences, and the implicit message of the action. (Note how the developer is very insistent about referring to AdNauseam as "malware"; if we go with the conventional definition of malware as being harmful to its user, this may paint Pale Moon as perceiving the website and/or ad network operators as being its clientele, rather than the person using the browser.)

Why? I work at a newspaper, we've survived on ads for decades, the way we deliver them has just changed.

Most newspapers are like this, are you saying we should not exist?
So Google, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat have no value? Because those aren't just little sites, but entire companies that have value solely because of ads. Take away ads and they don't exist.
databases, migration tools
The reason people use a fork like pale moon is because they want the changes that the fork provide. If that is no longer the case, they can just go back to Firefox and modify that version to their heart's content.

The motto of Pale Moon is "Your browser, Your way". But apparently not very so...

Two notes on that:

- I was thinking of situation where the manager is speaking to the team-at-large, not to specific people individually. Sorry for not making that clear in my post.

- Sounds like they were already a problem and should have been let go instead of hoping they would do it themselves. "Eventually" can be a long, and painful, time. But I respect that there are circumstances where this may not be possible or advisable.

I was once in a similar position with a report of mine, but I felt important to draw the line at specific behaviour rather than the vague "don't like it". So we sat down, discussed my and his expectations, established some rules and boundaries, and managed to survive the project; not as friends, but as professionals doing our work.
Have you built any software you're proud of?

I'm assuming you mean the team dynamic and project management "process". I'm still on my journey to escaping that dumb rat race, but I feel it's possible. Some liberal applications of cryptocurrwncy might enable a large portion of software engineers to become self employed and focus are problems they are interested in.
For a similar reason people get mad about telemetry and other features being opt-out rather than opt-in.

I think the more overarching point is that many people went to palemoon in response to actions they viewed as harmful for the web or for browsers, from mozilla and Google. For many people this establishes that it is not the ideologically pure browser they (mistakenly or not) thought they were getting.
But it's distinctly passive with ad blockers. Sure, you want to read my content without supporting me (some publications prevent you from doing so, but mine does not). You're just affecting you. With AdNauseum, you are actively attacking our ability to make money off of other users. You're punishing me for writing content that you want to read.
Depends on the company, really. But raising the effectiveness of a sales team by 5% if each sales person brings $100k in revenue each year makes sense with over 2 employees.

Bumping up the conversion rate within a sales funnel. A company is making $1,000,000 a year selling dog food. Improve the conversion rate by 1% and you have yourself 10k.

The existence of native speakers proves the existence of native speakers?

This isn't fake news, it's well documented -- every recent study on Occitan has estimated at least 100,000 native speakers, on the very low end.

Yes, it's a very endangered language, and it might be dead in a few decades, but it's not dead yet.

BTW, this only applies to France. In Val d'Aran for example (in Spain) it is an everyday language that doesn't seem at any risk of disappearing.
Interesting. You mean something more advanced than you can do with some command-line scripting?
This, along with Siacoin (http://sia.tech/), will likely be the future of decentralised cloud storage.

We'll sack the captain. We'll ridicule the crew, marveling at their supposed incompetence.

And here I thought newspapers were sold via subscriptions and at a per-issue price.

I think that you also missed my bigger point

Indeed I did. I'm not claiming Lisps and Clojure to be the be all end all of programming languages, I hope not. That said, I think you're being a little dramatic. Beauty really doesn't exist, its an illusion fabricated by a mix of our culture and our genetic predispositions. It's mostly characterized by the emotions it evokes in you.

Clojure and Lisps, currently of all languages I've tried, evoke the strongest set of positive emotions in me, the strongest one being joy. And I think some of it is not without merit.

Still, beauty is not what I'm talking about. I like quantifiable measures. You have productivity, explorativity, understandability, performance and correctness. Clojure finds a good balance between these, it tries to maximise the average of them all. Which is why I find it's great for your average programming project. I don't yet know of a language which does a better job at this maximization, but I'm always on the outlook for one.

It only takes four or five paragraphs to mathematically describe the basis for chromatic notation.

Its just as short to describe the basis of Lisps, that is the lambda calculus. Also, chromatic notation is less powerful then lambda calculus notation, much less, yet lambda calculus notation isn't much longer to describe. I'm also not sure shortness is necessarily better or more beautiful, again, that's an esthetic preference like minimalism in art. With nine constructs you can have a full Lisp impmementation that can do all turing equivalent computations and also I/O. But in practice, having even more turns out to be useful and makes things easier. I think it's the same for Forth too.

If Clojure fully contained all its abstractions, then it would not have the option of calling into the JVM.

I'm not sure this has any practical merits, but there's nothing in Clojure preventing this. It could, in fact self-hosted ClojureScript does. It's not very useful, which is why Clojure doesn't bother, and calling into the JVM is actually quite useful, to leverage lots of existing code.

Clojure does not have the property that cutting any fragment of a valid program yields a valid program.

You can cut anywhere an sexpr starts or ends and get a valid program. Maybe that's not granular enough for you, but what is? In forth you can cut at any whitespace and get a valid program, but I could claim it's not granular enough, I want to cut at any character. To me, the property is that the notation is recursive, it builds on itself. Sure the unit being an sexpr is not as small a unit as a single musical note, but that unit is independent, composable and nestable.

If you think that types produce reliability, then you do not understand types.

I don't, I didn't use that word at all. In fact I believe Clojure programs to be very reliable, even though they don't have static types.

>Generating this kind of traffic does not achieve its intended goal (providing protest against ad networks or causing advertising to fail for ad networks) since the ones punished are the publishers (those who rely on this revenue) and not the ad networks.

I don't think I follow? People don't like the ad networks and want them to change or fail. That's achievable by forcing change at either the advertiser, the network or the website owner. Decreasing the usefulness of ad networks to website owners accomplishes the same thing as hitting the ad effectiveness: it takes away business from the ad network. Which sounds exactly like the intended goal.
Anything that any salesman or customer service employee mentions that plugs into salesforce. A mail button for sales force ? A print button for salesforce ? A make my phone call customer button inside salesforce button? Oh sweet only $20 per month per salesman....so we have 50 people on salesforce so only 1,000 a month, only $12,000 a year? This should help get us out of dept so fast !!! FML.
You're hurting the publishers. I'm a software developer at a local newspaper. We've been dealing with floods of fake ad clicks for about a year now, and they severely hurt our bottom line. We don't even use an ad network a la google, we sell our own ads to local businesses and such. You're not sticking it to the man, you're punishing me and my colleagues and friends for writing content that you wanted to read. You're directly hurting us.

To be clear, I'm not sure a browser should have a say on this in general, but I understand the argument they make on a personal level.

EDIT:

1. I misread OP

2. I don't work directly with our ad handling, as I work with the editorial team and generally advertising and editorial are separate for a reason, but I went digging just for fun. We sell our ad space to individual businesses. Our ad sales team does approve every ad we run. We use Google Analytics and Chartbeat, and both the newsroom and ad team have access to those analytics. The ads we serve vary - one ad from a housing complex down the street is literally just an image with an affiliate link, but one ad from our the ASU Foundation appears to load content from doubleclick.net.
Thanks for the feedback, but why do those seem contradictory? Honest question.

This is because our companies are all being structure into top down authoritarians dictatorships. The employees are weak, and management wants them to stay weak. Until this changes the only power the employee has to make change is to play politics or leave. Most of us are software engineers because we don't want to play politics, we want to build the future of civilization. We need new organizational structures that enable democracy at work.
My impression has been that it has commanded somewhat outsize (to its actual utility/userbase) attention ever since its conception, because the promise of an "optimised, bloat-free, classic" version of Firefox clearly is attractive to many outspoken technologists. It gets mentioned on HN periodically: https://www.google.com/search?q=pale+moon+site%3Anews.ycombi...

Irrelevant of OPs point. Disallowing an extension that a user might want doesn't seem like "your way"
I won't argue that sometimes you might want to cancel a promise that you no longer need (ex: user cancels ajax operation) but just because there are no listeners does not always mean you don't want it to complete (ex: Fire and forget, not always a great idea sure but a thing nonetheless).
Biggest fork of Firefox, apparently not anymore community driven, they tried to "unfuck" Firefox by removing enabled built-in google trackers, business decisions made by Mozilla that community didn't like because they were financially or ideologically driven (like Pocket or Telemetry?).

True, I misread OP. I don't know that I think the browser should have a say in this discussion.

And no, I am not punishing you - I am punishing a shitty industry for wasting millions of hours of time globally and causing damage with malware. We've seen that pacific methods do not work so the only way to drive change is to actively fight back until the lowlife either adapts (by becoming better) or dies.

Yeah, but that difference has become much wider over time. User manuals used to include a lot of maintenance andsmall repair procedures.

As much as I hate "no user serviceable parts inside" I have to feel like these crappy manuals are a symptom of something good.

It just doesn't work. Most of our readers don't pay for news, and if they did, they'd probably pay for larger national papers.

Back in the day of paper newspapers, our subscription fees had to be augmented with ad revenue as well.

Frankly, I always thought that the Pale Moon project had more attitude than rationale.

You've really got to have a decently sized team to assure that the changes you've made aren't going to cause security holes in the browser.

The things that they rip out of Firefox also doesn't make much sense to me... Australis is such a weird thing to get rid of, especially when the compact theme is pretty similar to the original, except even more minimal. Not to mention you can customise the theme all you want.

I'm pretty sure this moves comes from the fact that Pale Moon gets revenue from ads on the default start page, which is totally fine in and of itself; but having an extension blacklist for any other reason other than to prevent end-user exploitation is a perfect indicator that the judgement of the development team is not to be trusted.
> If you have a problem, contact postmaster/webmaster/root/etc.

This is a very outdated 1990s mentality.

Most modern web users would have no idea that such a thing exists (or should exist), and they're probably the same users who also have no idea that WHOIS exists and know how to find contact details for a domain owner using it.

It's also a little user-hostile to assume that nobody is ever going to question something they receive from an automated system. In that case, why make the user journey unnecessarily difficult by forcing them to find an alternative route to contact you?
It only hurts pay-per-click advertisers. Ones whose ads directly lead to a sale are unaffected.
