Yes you can just give them back, but I would be shocked if the bill passed this way.

Well if you're going to try to be technical about it, GDP does not represent growth per year. GDP also does not specify that it must refer to a year of time, you have to qualify that. GDP is also frequently measured quarterly.

It makes sense to relate to GDP if what you're looking for is a well understood scale to use as a reference for very large financial numbers.

Isn't .NET Core a Subset of Mono? I though Mono was like a cross platform version of the .NET Framework, of which .NET Core is also a subset.
Wow!

Until .NET Core starts supporting GUI frameworks there will always be a use case for Mono. I can get up and running with GTK# relatively quickly for a cross-platform desktop application using Mono when that isn't the case for .NET Core. That being said, if I were to build a web app I would definitely go with Core over Mono.
Samsung is the largest customer and licensee of Qualcomm chips and patents.

The problem here isn't that Samsung doesn't want to license Qualcomm's patents, but that Qualcomm DOES NOT license their patents to their baseband competitors (eg, Samsung, Mediatek, Intel); instead Qualcomm wants to collect royalties from the end-device makers (eg, HTC, Samsung Mobile).

This is precisely why anti-trust/competition regulators have been going after Qualcomm recently.
When the new Pixi version is dropped into place (I finished coding that recently) it performs much better on Firefox. I agree that with the current version it's definitely not great.

Edit: Just to be clear, when I say much better, I don't mean much better than chrome, just better than it performs now. When I drop RAF and just run the rendering loop as fast as possible, they get roughly the same FPS on my cheapo laptop.
which version of FF? could be caused by some misconfigured content blocking extension?

Apparently client side decorations might appear in Firefox 59 at the earliest. For me having that negates the need to hide the title bar while maximized.

Under X11 there are various tools to hide the titlebar (entire chrome basically), see devilspie.

I haven't seen your codebase so I can't answer if your codebase injects too many things to too few, injects the right things or not. It also depends on how big the codebase is, and how long people are going to continue working on it - i.e. "enterprisy" concerns.

But injection is done for testability and flexibility.
Technology is about reducing costs. Some costs are best not reduced.

Data, information, and control capabilities are force multipliers. If the goal is to deliver (or threaten to deliver) deadly force, the greater the acuracy with which this can be done, the more effective it is.

I was reviewing the German assault on France in World War II recently. What is interesting is that the forces were fairly evenly matched, and French armour in particular was superior to German in all but one category: German tanks had radios.

France distributed its forces against possibly military attack, Germany concentrated its forces and dynamically adapted to changing battle conditions to seek maximum advantage. In both specific engagements and at the scale of the entire front, German forces could adapt far faster than the French. Tactical advantage: Germany.

The rise of guerilla tactics, and their evolution over the second half of the 20th century, and into the 21st, has been telling.

Ambush attacks, soft-target attacks, suicide and car bombs, roadside "IED" explosives -- lying in wait for some target of opportunity. Over the past few years, forces in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East have used drones to drop grenades and shells from modest heights onto targets, almost completely unobserved. The prospect of far more mobile killing (or cripling) weapons, guided to specific individual targets, or simply selecting members of a crowd arbitrarily, could prove, as they say, game-changing.

And the winning move, not playing, is striking me as increasingly unlikely.

Of the fundamental and deep principles of economics I find useful, few strike me as powerful as the Jevons Paradox: increased efficiencies at some task do not reduce the total amount of resources or other factors of production utilised, or the amount of that activity conducted. By reducing costs, increased efficiency increases activity. Jevons saw this with coal and steam power. Electricity, railroads, lighting, telephony, printing, radio, automobiles, air travel, the Internet: these didn't simply make the previously-experienced level of corresponding activities easier, they raised the total amount of the activity, tremendously.

Wading through the product of an 1860s - 1880s boom in publishing on petroleum and fossil fuel activity, I ran across a statement that the coal deposits of the United States would suffice for a million years' supply, at then present rates of consumption. I can recall a time when advertisements in National Geographic, in the 1970s, claimed a thousand year supply. The current estimates in BP's annual statistical review of energy are for a century or three.

The amount of coal hasn't changed appreciably. The use of it has.

And falling costs of accessing that coal, and increased use-value from applying it, has increased rates of consumption roughly 10,000-fold.

Consider the prospects of waging war where offensive casualties, targeting power, time-to-execute, and single-shot-kill effectiveness see a similar increase.

The corrolary of the Jevons paradox is counterintuitive: if you want to see less of a thing, make it very, very, very expensive.

How does one do that here?
But by that logic, it makes no sense to compare the cost of a new computer to the cost of rent, because they're different things. GDP is a measure in units of money, and so is stock value, so you can compare them just fine even though they're not related to each other.

Most of these answers basically say nothing. e.g.

"""Q: How did Bkav develop the mask (for example why you use silicone for the nose, why 3D printing for some areas while special processing for others, etc.)?

A: You are right. Many people in the world have tried different kinds of masks but all failed. It is because we understand how AI of Face ID works and how to bypass it. As stated above, we were the first in the world to show that face recognition was not an effective security measure for laptops."""

is a really nice way to dodge the question of why they used silicone for some parts of the mask.
I'm curious about this.

Go has a history of doing the simplest thing that covers the majority of cases, inherited from Plan 9. For one thing, although I don't know its current GC story, its original collector was very simple.

I wonder what would happen if you transplanted a recent collector from Java, where the strategy is to optimize the crap out of anything that moves, into Go?

Obviously, it wouldn't be as fast as not allocating, or at least not collecting, in hot code, but what would be the actual penalty?

On the other hand, what about, say, Pony and its per-thread collectors?
Yep. That isn't about publicly traded companies. The only people that would panic is if you are in a startup that cannot exercise.

What will change them is when we little people have finally had enough of their bullshit and do what we should already be doing which is putting a stop to it. Trump getting elected was the first big signal for them cut their shit out. But they won't listen--the dissonance and excuses being made around Trump tells you everything you need to know. The next step if they don't listen is going to be way uglier.
Here's the statement I plan to read to my representatives:

I live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I work for a small startup of less than 30 employees.

Three years ago I left a large, publicly traded tech company to take this job, because of the potential I saw in the work the startup was doing.

I took a significant pay cut when I joined the startup, a decision that was justifiable only because of the distant future value of the incentive stock options that the startup promised me.

It is my understanding that the current tax bills on the floors of the house and the senate would tax these options when they first vest, long before I could possibly sell them to cover my tax bill.

If I am wrong about this, I would appreciate any clarification you can provide, ideally written into the text of the bills themselves.

If my understanding is correct, I honestly don't know how my startup, or other small companies like it, will be able to compete with wealthy public tech companies as we try to hire new employees in an already extremely competitive market.

I struggle to understand how draining talent from the most innovative small tech companies can possibly be construed as a good thing for our economy.

Thank you for your time.
Thank you for choosing Firefox.

1. Are there any specific extensions you need? Happy to add them to our outreach list.

2. Sorry about Hangouts; follows a trend of Chrome-only product launches/re-launches from Google (five this year so far). Wish we could do more, but if Google's OK shipping things that only work on one browser, that's their prerogative.

3. Firefox also has completely separate profiles, in addition to container tabs. The UI isn't as polished as in Chrome, but it works: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...

My thoughts exactly. There can't be any other reason for it.
Go in effect does pre-allocs in that it does variable liveness analysis and any variables that are allocated within a function but who's address isn't assigned to another variable that is from outside the function or returned from the function is allocated on the stack. This means it is automatically freed when the function returns (or stack frame is unwound). This also means that you can be certain that any state changes are from within the current function or any of its children if passed to a child.
Chrome Dev Tools. Firefox’s dev tools simply aren’t as good.

There are also many features in Chrome that I’ve come to appreciate, such as right clicking a tab and selecting “duplicate”, which opens a copy of the tab and retains the browser history of the original one.
I actually disagree. By being explicit about all of your decisions to do things, and how much time it will take, you learn over time about the tradeoffs and stop doing worthless things. If you capture, review, plan, and think about where you're going long-term, you will stop doing things that have no value to you. (At least it worked for me.)

Whether it works for everyone, I don't know, but the first step is to get control of all the necessary information. Then you can decide if you need something more.

Faster at what things?

On my 2017 iMac (3.4 GHz Core i5, Radeon Pro 570) I get 60 on Mozilla's Speedometer 2.0 [1] test with Firefox 57.0. I get 90 on Chrome and 93 on Safari.

On my Surface Pro 4 that gap is smaller, but Chrome is still about 15% faster on that test.

This suggestion might actually force some of the startups that play dubious games with stock values (not disclosing total # of shares issued and current values) and preferred shares and the like to be more above board. In a way getting taxed on these things would at least make it clear what their 'value' is.
Very important note: Be sure to provide the old man behind glass with food and water. I had an old man behind glass in my house for security and didn't think to give him food and water and he died within a week.
It's not a perfect measure, but there are about 90k subscribers for the subreddit and about 4x that number of downvotes.
My RSUs vest at the latter of the time-based condition (schedule) and performance-based condition (company liquidity event). The proposal is to make this taxable income purely at the time-based condition, when they may still be illiquid.
I suspect quite strongly in this case that the correct "fix" is to do nothing.

What about a fix that gives the user optional control over the thresholds, or even just a hint as to the desired behavior? Keep the defaults as they are, but add a “pragma” that would set the minimum threshold for GC? Or it could go a long way just to have an option to set a minimum time between collections. While it could easily make things worse for certain situations, I much prefer the option to hang myself over an immutable default that periodically does so without my input or consent.

I think a lot of the Mono Team worked for Xamarin. As Microsoft acquired Xamarin and by that act, opened up most of the Xamarin/Mono codebase that had previously been licensed to ensure a commercial fee could be generated.

Miguel posted the article and he's a Microsoft Employee for sure.

I think the runtimes are slowly converging. The main issue at the moment is that Core is more focused on Web and back-end targets. To replace Mono, it needs to support UI targets such as desktop Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as mobile targets such as Android and iOS. It'll happen. Most of the .Net platforms seem to use the Roslyn compilers these days. Next step is to converge at a library level, then at a VM level I think.
How do you use 1Password with Firefox on iOS? It's not an option for me in the Share modal, so I've been having to switch to Safari.
I think most users don't care how fast the browser is at the level they're boasting about. They've been fast enough for many years for most use cases. They should do a commercial showing they can run uBlock Origin on Android, how fast sites load compared to without it, and jump on the "annoying ad" train Apple and Google seem to be bragging about fixing latley by "solving" a few problems uO had solved, the right way, for years.
I appreciate that Firefox is doing great work getting it faster, but at the same time they're doing awful work by baking in shitty cloud features and turning their add-on ecosystem into a walled garden. One step forward, two steps back.

Hey lvh. As imron suggested, I've found containers have largely replaced my need for multiple profiles day-to-day, with the main exception of throwaway profiles, which `firefox --profile $(mktemp -d) --new-instance` handles well enough.

I'd love to talk to you more about the ergonomics of containers / profiles for your use case. You know how to reach me. :)
Yea, but doing it that way requires same origin policy not to be weakened like from CORS being misconfigured. http://blog.portswigger.net/2016/10/exploiting-cors-misconfi... talks about exploits from this.

But what I am wondering is if using "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: evil-site.example.com or *" can be used to exploit the cookie-to-header technique with a token for every request (GETS included), no form GETS (so token doesn't appear in url query), https, and no browser bugs or XSS vulnerabilities. The wiki articles suggest it could be exploited, but I'm thinking they're just worded conservatively.

Maloney is a Democrat, though, and will likely vote against the tax bill with or without your say so. Both of our senators are also Democrats. Not that it wouldn't be helpful to provide them with ammunition against the tax bill, just saying that this is not really going to move the needle much in terms of actual votes.
As for your third point, yes, Firefox does have containers now, but it has the profiles feature as well. `about:profiles` and starting your Firefox with `-p` flag will help you out.
Yes, for my girlfriend, during some last few months Firefox is much slower than before: she uses it mostly for Facebook and Youtube, she doesn't have any extensions installed by herself (not counting the stuff that is in Firefox because Firefox marketing initiatives, like Pocket) and no adbockers, but Firefox uses so much CPU that it gets completely unusable.

And she is not any extreme Facebook user: she has less than 500 "friends." And she doesn't have big "subscriptions" list in Youtube.

So it's completely opposite of the propaganda: the average user, using the most common sites, is hit to the that much CPU more use that the most common sites are unusable.

So what's going on here? It's just the propaganda machine claiming the opposite of what is actually happening at the moment. They maybe have good goals but at the moment it's worse than, for example, a year ago.

Maybe it's because she doesn't have a newly bought computer, which are the ones used by those who test? And I guess those who test don't use Facebook and Youtube?

I also use Firefox but spend zero time in Facebook and minimal time on Youtube and block Javascript wherever I can, so I don't see the same. But I saw the CPU on her computer staying completely blocked by something Firefox is doing. The only thing I was able to figure out: around 40 percent is spent in kernel according to the task manager. Both cores are used more than 90 percent, and the Firefox is not responsive. She doesn't do anything more than scrolling down her Facebook to see that effect. It's not always that bad, obviously depends on the content on the Facebook, but it's bad often enough for her to see the slowness regularly, and when it really gets stuck to complain to me.

What I personally observe is the pages embedding more linked Youtube videos got to be very slow to even display them. Those are the pages I stumble on occasionally, so I didn't investigate. The second effect I've observed is writing a longer post for HN on Firefox getting much slower (less responsive) the longer the post is. Like writing these words now.

So, dear Firefox people, your product is really SLOWER for me too in the last versions, and not faster. And it is extremely slower for a "normal" user using the "normal" Facebook and Youtube.

(Additionally, I use a number of extensions, and only one will remain available soon when they turn off the support for what they mark as "legacy" extensions. That is really strange decision, deciding to remove the major difference between them and Chrome, becoming just as limited as Chrome is for extensions and wasting the work of most of the extension developers.)
That is all so very true. But it is also utterly irrelevant if market share drops too much. That will unavoidably lead to incompatibilities which will without doubt ensure that only die hard enthusiasts will use it.

Which means it won't be an alternative anymore and it will die.
.NET Core is incompatible with the .NET Framework which Mono is the oss counterpart to.
Taxing on sale is farer or if say you get taxed on vesting and then 1 year later the company goes but do you get a tax refund I think not.

You can use about:profiles or the profile manager (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-...) to handle that. The UX isn't as polished, but for just a handful of uses (work, personal, etc.) it's easy enough to make shortcuts which call `firefox --new-instance --profile <profilename>`.
