I couldn't get this built out of the box from your repo, some sort of problem with the toolchain producing non-compiling .S assemblies, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the sources and observing the MacOS Synth, and so on .. pretty nice project.

"every business with a legitimate use for encryption" is "every business" (SSL and SSH, remember?). "Every business" is "every person", given sole corporations.

Equifax are still trying to explain to congress whether or not they are encrypting data: https://www.wsj.com/articles/equifax-ceo-to-congress-not-sur...

Terrorists don't generally use encryption, surprisingly. There have been very few incidents recently where the authorities have found themselves with data they were unable to decrypt that might be relevant. The only one I can think of is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_San_Bernardino_attack
No dairy at all in real tacos? That's a surprise. That said, my friend's wife (from mexico) made made offal tacos once (kidney & tongue I think) that were dressed exactly like that^. They had sour cream on the table though.

Anyway, I think you're onto something! Internationalizing^ food does seem to go hand-in-hand with more ingredients and complexity. Maybe this is like how very knowledgeable people can give simpler answers, really well designed products have fewer features. The "didn't have time to write a short letter" effect, for cuisine.

I think it's harder to mess things up with more ingredients. Add enough ingredients and you just end up with the statistical average "food." You're international versions of onigiri, tacos, burritos and pizza are remarkably similar to one another. The originals are more distinct.

*rockostrich blames commercialization which makes sense too. It's hard to pick that apart from Internationalisation though, since the two are so intertwined.

You can't compete with mindshare on that scale. The network effects are ludicrous. People have made generally better products than Facebook for years that all wither because they don't have a billion people and everyone you already know on them.

If Facebook were using an open protocol like Ostatus anyone could make a peer network that is better than Facebook and actually compete, but their userbase is entirely locked into their platform. On purpose, of course, thats why investors value FB so highly. Its entirely against their interests to enable competition.
That’s a completely different situation. Assuming that such a tape exists, the issue isn’t that Trump has sexual kinks. The issue is that the President is subject to blackmail from a foreign power.

If such a tape existed for anyone else and was in the hands of a foreign government, that person would not be able to get the lowest level of security clearance in the US because the opportunity for blackmail places them at great risk.

In an ideal world Americans would be more like the French and not care about people’s personal consensual sex lives at all, in which case the tape would lose all its blackmailing power, but since the American public does care, the possibility of blackmail is real.

The Haxe community is made up of a lot of folks interested in general cross-platform dev, but there's also a ton of folks from the Flash diaspora. Accordingly, many tools and frameworks are evolutions of the "Flash way" (HaxeDevelop, OpenFL), while other tools and frameworks are starting from scratch, or adapting to other ecosystems (vscode-haxe, Kha).

There's always been calls to "unify" the frameworks, tooling, etc., but I don't think that's a healthy environment for Haxe. Haxe exists as a way to avoid ecosystem lock-in. It's a bit antithetical if the community imposed restrictions on how to develop with Haxe.

The slow or grudual & unseen, versus the sudden and dramatic.

Humans seem to almost universally do poorly at judging those two pools of risk against one another.

People are terrified of being murdered or crashing in an airplane (both sudden death), yet they die by the droves at 10x, 100x or 1000x the rate from poor lifestyle habits (food, smoking, drinking, lack of exercise, etc). The fear of sharks is likewise similar (sudden violent death, and extremely rare).

With some of these there is also the control aspect that comes into play (having control, not having control, or having an illusion of control). For example with sharks, you're in their environment, heavily lacking control, almost helpless by comparison to their ability. With passenger airplane crashes, it's kiss your ass goodbye, you have basically zero control over the situation (not even the ability to pretend you do). People die by the millions driving cars, yet they don't seem to fear that nearly so much as dying in a plane crash. I chalk that up to the partial illusion that drivers have a very large amount of control as to whether they die in a car crash or not.

I believe coal generates the same fear response as the gradual lifestyle threats do, it's perceived as a gradual threat/risk. Nuclear is perceived as a sudden dramatic death threat (decades of miseducation, propaganda, and of course generalized fears over all things nuclear derived from the bomb).
Right, I thought it was odd; I remember reading that part of the big benefit of WASM was more compact, faster-to-parse source code. Going all the way up to text form and back down to binary data is at odds with that.

> an explicit Uint8Array should only only necessary if you want to inline the wasm directly with the JS that instantiates it.

Are there any realistic scenarios where this is the more sensible option?

response.arrayBuffer()

WebAssembly.instantiate(bytes, importObject)
).then(results => {
results.instance.exports.exported_func();

Installing Fedora on my laptop with an nvidia graphics card was a frustrating experience, but I don't know if it's any better for other distros. The install process was insanely slow, but more frustratingly certain input fields would register a single keypress as anywhere from 1 to 30 keypresses.

I knew there was issues with nvidia cards, but wasn't ready for the keypress issue. I was still able to get a basic install done which let me drop to command line mode and change out the driver.

Sure, but what I'm arguing against here in this thread is the pervasive "Mozilla is evil, they only killed XUL extensions for fun". Just read this thread.

When actually millions of users get a vastly superior Firefox. Many, many extensions have been updated. And some extensions – mostly niche ones haven't. I love that trade-off.
I think the new design is absolutely horrible.
I see the tracking issue has been in bugzilla for years. I get that it is a tricky map from the raw packets to these frames, but relying on a 3rd party extension to the point of deprioritizing work on this is a pretty iffy call - I wasn't excited about trusting an extension at all; that the extension seems to have been broken in 57 entirely (foreseeably too) just feels meh.

I guess I'm part of a minority of people who does a lot of websockets work? Well, that's guaranteed to be true - a random feature deep inside the devtools is probably a deal-breaker for like four people.
That's an interesting thought and I think you have hit the nail on the head.

If you ask someone where nuclear power can damage the environment, they say yes it can. They understand the damage from fallout because it is local.

But the same person may not believe that coal can damage the environment globally. There is a huge cognitive bias against effects we can't physically see, and understanding the scale of the planet.

This is the same reason we have some people who still believe in the flat earth conspiracy.

The only answer real is education. If educators had a way to help children better create visual models of these things inside their heads, maybe we could all agree on these issues we can't see with our eyes. Maybe VR will help? I don't know. But I would definitely donate to any think tank that was A/B testing educators lessons on global warming.
Because clients are rarely capable of judging competency. You can crack pipes with a snake. Furthermore, certifications typically come with a registration requirement, meaning clients have a mechanism for formally filing complaints. Similarly, there are often bond requirements, meaning you know that if the technician screws up a job you'll have a decent chance at recovering damages. Getting a bond without securing the full face value is probably easier with a certification, too, because otherwise how would the underwriter know their risk?

Certifications are a public service. It's no different than for lawyers, doctors, or all the drivers on the road.

In some states the requirements for some types of certification are obviously intended to limit entrants into the market. But that's a different matter.
You live with a censor in your head. If the censor doesn't like a specific word, you cannot say it. Your vocal muscles tense, then freeze like iron, causing you pain. Or perhaps they begin to repeat the same motions, uselessly, until you stop talking. This list of words changes over time and circumstance, but some sounds might be reliable predictors of problems.

The way around that is to find some other word to use to express yourself. Or stop talking as much as possible.

I have had Arch break on numerous occasions. This is especially true if I am compiling things from scratch frequently. I've had Fedora break as well, but less so and generally it's easier to find my way out since I can refer back to the release notes.

I haven't really found anything I'd want to do that I couldn't do in Fedora. It's well documented, it's close to upstream, it's got a large community and it's linux. I don't feel I have any less power from using Fedora than from using Arch. Other than the rolling release and installation process, there's not much to separate them in day to day use.

Great for sites with JS based pay walls.
If you can get away without a JS environment, do so. Something like scrapy will be much easier than a full browser environment. If you cannot, don’t bother going halfway and just go straight for headless chrome or Firefox. Unfortunately Selenium seems to be past its useful life as Firefox dropped support and chrome has a chrome driver which wraps around it. Phantom.js is woefully out of date and since it’s a different environment than your target site was designed for just leads to problems.

You can't download explosives. You can't type text into any computer and have it generate explosives.

Encryption is not a physical object, which makes it completely unlike explosives. Not only that, there isn't even a specific piece of software that is encryption, it is simply a series of math functions you run on data.

You can make all the rules in the world about companies having to have a master key. People have already downloaded PGP, it is too late to put that back in the bag.
electrovim is in no way a replacement for Vimperator. It's a couple of keyboard shortcuts. None of the current vim-like plugins for FF57 match what vimperator/pentadactyl can do.

I have an Android phone and one thing that is bugging me is how the default browser on the bottom "toolbar" is in fact named "Internet". This may be fine for techies like you and me, but I'm concerned for the older folk who may have difficulty with technology or non-techies. In this case, if one just went with the defaults, one wouldn't even know you were using a Google-built browser.

I'm assuming that you're using a Samsung phone, in which case "Internet" is the Samsung browser, not Google's Chrome. http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-internet/

It's because they have bad experiences with nuclear and general public doesn't like it either. I suck at German so I can't find the article, but there have been a few cases where the construction of a few reactors has been sub-optimal and thus somewhat dangerous (and too hard to fix). Also some cases of statistically significantly higher chances of leukemia in children near one nuclear plant. But don't quote me on this, GTranslate might have left some critical details about those articles untranslated.

Very little about nuclear policy has any relation to sense. Emotion dominates the discussion, even more than usual.

>A democratically run company is still an owner of private property, the fact that citizens have a say is irrelevant to the idea that property is privately owned.

Yes, I agree - however, the fact that ALL citizens have a say is not irrelevant.

The case you're talking about is one where the State acts in its capacity as an agent of the citizenry, similar to how a manager can hire, fire or sign contracts within the bounds set by the owner or owners. It doesn't mean the manager owns any property, simply that he as an agent of ownership is currently in possession of it.

You forget the big technical issue: many web extension API features that are needed to port old Firefox extensions do not exist yet (e.g. filesystem access) or are conservatively crippled (e.g. adding buttons, menu items, other GUI elements).
Your 2-3 months of frantic effort will start not immediately but in a vague future when the Firefox team feels like improving the web extension API. It is fairly obvious from API documentation and bug discussion threads that they only care for feature parity with Chrome web extensions, not with old Firefox extensions.

The transition could have been managed gradually, by piece by piece replacement of the old extension API with the new web extension API (made available to old style extensions). Extension developers would have made the small changes needed to port from a deprecated old API to a new API that does the same thing, up to the final step of reorganizing without significant code changes the old extension, now relying exclusively on web extension APIs, into a web extension. Abandoned extensions would have fallen by the wayside very fast, deficient APIs would have been fixed before actual usage, and Firefox would have moved forward without betraying users.
Has somebody compared pulsar with pravega(http://pravega.io)?
People die in huge numbers in very violent automobile accidents. For young people in the US (15–35), the leading causes of death are car accidents and gunshots (homicide, suicide, accidents).

Most physical violence (assault, murder, rape, ..) is between people who know each-other, but typically people are more afraid of different-looking strangers.

I think it has more to do with fear of unusual situations than suddenness or drama.
It's not a perfect metaphor, no. But pointing that out doesn't prove that we need a detailed understanding of how the brain works in order to build useful AI tools. Of course I think it goes without saying that more and deeper knowledge of how the brain works is desirable and would be useful. I'm just saying that that kind of knowledge isn't necessarily required in order to achieve useful ends.

Keep in mind the context of what I'm saying, which is responding to this:

Hinton's caught up in a mind boggling batch of mumbo-jumbo that proves no one understands how the brain actually works

I would argue that modern AI/ML is far past "mumbo jumbo" and provides useful tools, even without a detailed understanding of the brain.
> My experience has been that it’s much easier to hit it later vs earlier.

Yes, I said in my original comment that it becomes easier to hit the cap as the company grows. However:

> It’s very rare to be offered more than 1% of a company that is already worth $5M. The people who get offers like this are, it turns out, the ones complaining about this tax law most loudly. They are not run of the mill employees.

This is not true. It's not really that rare for a first hire to get 1% or more[0], and it's also not that rare to have a company that makes that first hire after raising enough money to be valued at $5M. I say this as someone who has been both a founder and an early-stage investor.

But more broadly: most of the people who are complaining about this cap (and complaining the loudest) aren't the early employees. They're the ones who joined later - late enough that they're likely "only" to double or triple the value of their equity by the time an IPO happens (unlike early employees), but still early enough that there's no IPO or acquisition on the horizon[1].

Well-designed products have more effective features, because they allow users to add features.

I'm a CS Major, but saying a degree is "worthless" is pretty narrow-minded, no? I'd argue (at least anecdotally) that most people getting into these "worthless" degrees know they won't make a ton of money - but for them, money isn't something they particularly care about.

There's more ways to define success than in terms of money.
As a French person, I can't help but think that this is but temporary. The Germans are extremely smart when it comes to long-term vision, they've always been. I don't doubt for a second that their transitioning away from nuclear will pay dividends on the long run and they'll be on the forefront of that green revolution eventually.

The fact that they have a very strong industry to back up any effort to steer production to greener means of production and consumption is very encouraging for everyone. I hope they succeed.
