I would stay away from proprietary software, especially if it was written in Russia or China.

All of their tech companies owe their entire existence to their respective governments and it's not like the governments set up that environment for them for free.
A lot of that stuff is built into the browser, for people who care to look through the customization options and possibly do a tiny bit of about:config tweaking.
I maintain ~30 different crawlers. Most of them are using Scrapy. Some are using PhantomJS/CasperJS but they are called from Scrapy via a simple web service.

All data (zip files, pdf, html, xml, json) we collect are stored as-is (/path/to/<dataset name>/<unique key>/<timestamp>) and processed later using a Spark pipeline. lxml.html is WAY faster than beautifulsoup and less prone to exception.

We have cronjob (cron + jenkins) that trigger dataset update and discovery. For example, we scrape corporate registry, so everyday we update the 20k oldest companies version. We also implement "discovery" logic in all of our crawlers so they can find new data (ex.: newly registered company). We use Redis to send task (update / discovery) to our crawlers.
FYI they will no longer consider you after three rejections now.
This is very much like sports - very few make it to the top, and it's kind of subsidised by the ones coming up or just idly watching.
Unlike actual sport, the disciplines here change rapidly, in spite of Blizzard's best efforts, World of Warcraft numbers are rapidly dwindling so a WoW start will pretty much have to start from scratch in another game or quit streaming as a career move.
Game developers or even petty missteps can have disastrous consequences for streamers. Game developers can, for example ban streaming altogether, or request takedown with their content selectively.
This is a 'career' but with no major prospects and if one was to put equivalnet amount of time in another field, say learning how deep learning works, the rewards will be far greater on average.
I also think that 'pro' streamers no longer enjoy the games they play for "18 hours a day" and can't afford casual games with the camera turned off. It's a huge 'big brother' in their lives.
The APIs are still being expanded. Tree-style tabs was near the top of the list of things they wanted to get support for before the deadline. They also had a bunch of bugs open for various features where devs could discuss use cases for potential APIs, and even "office hours" to work directly with extension devs to help them port their add-ons.

You’re mixing up debts in foreign currencies and ones in national currency. The former is the issue. As long as the national currency is accepted and traded by the population (which they can effectively enforce upon them through taxation) then the state can simply sign a contract, flip some bits in the national accounting table and proceed that way. The problem here is that Venezuela has a very disfunctional market economy (it is bad enough under the champagne socialists, and the US being involved in geo-economic/imperialist opportunism there isnt helping them) and a large black market which is mostly denominated in US currency and to which the population is increasingly dependent upon. If the economy worsens, that could further undermine the national currency and weaken the central government. The US of course wants that to happen so they can install a puppet government and secure natural resources in the south american hemisphere. It’s really a mixture of corrupt centralized government making all the wrong policy decisions and nefarious outside influences.
This new release is all about attracting new users to FF from Chrome. It will hurt those of us who actively have been using and living with Firefox.

In time, they say, they will bring back the various APIs for the extensions (although it's still "might" and there's no timeline yet) - so in the meantime, if you liked FF for it's customisation, we just have to suck it up. It's similar to when Ubuntu moved to Unity and attracted all the new users but pissed off all the existing userbase. We should expect a big backlash when all the linux repos get updated and the power users release they have a degraded experience.
Less than a second here. Yes, I can see it paint, but it's nowhere near 5 seconds. And I'm on a base model Thinkpad T440, hardly a speed machine these days.
That might be true for this release, but Firefox has committed to moving away from XUL. That means your extensions are guaranteed to break eventually.
This article doesn't even get into the really big earners. 7 figures is not a one person bracket on twitch.

Yep. You can see the burnout on people after a while.
Technical school started as early as sophomore year in my high school. My teacher was an absolute fuckwad.
If you’re going to stay on a version then you’re probably better off on Firefox ESR as the current version will keep on getting security fixes until the middle of next year (by which time hopefully the features you’re missing will have come back).
That looks like a pretty interesting scraping library.

I'll agree with you that modern HTML and CSS for presentation is best-of-breed. I'll accept that the DOM API is sufficient.

But neither of those necessitate JavaScript; JS is just a language that happens to run in the browser and has DOM API bindings (and the other browser APIs too). There's no reason those identical bindings couldn't be provided in any other language.
Did anyone find an easy way to export bookmarks, history etc from chrome to firefox?

When you click on a new link, there is an "explosion" animation on the tab where it turns entirely blue for a second. This happens every time you click a link. I'm finding this extremely distracting. I'm sensitive to this kind of stuff so I always try to disable animations on everything I can.

The top bar is also black-ish now rather than the system grey. This looks particularly bad with the new "blue" highlight indicator. The tabs are all square rather than rounded. It all looks pretty hideous.
This is wrong. The focus will simply switch to sandbox escapes.

On x86, the only real "sandbox" you have is what your MMU gives you. For as long as executable has access to browser's address space, it can do anything a browser can, including reading your webcam, mic, sensors, GPS, etc
There is a polyfill for IE.

Sweden has never had significant oil production. In fact, it hasn't produced any oil for 20 years. So I don't think its really a valid comparison with Venezuela (although Norway is).

Not OP, but I value stability over having the latest version. Fedora is fairly bleeding edge compared to other fixed release distributions, but also tested.

Fedora is also easier to install. The older I get, the less hassle I want.
The other side of it is everyone qualifies for a loan. So there's an enormous amount of risk associated with it and the interest rates do not reflect that risk.

It's difficult to loan 18-year olds money as they tend to lack income and credit worthiness and it's also unreasonable to expect an 18-year old to really understand the future debt they are setting themselves up for.
screwed my face up at this, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and and assume he chose his words poorly and meant that 6 were not the party leader at the time of the election.

It's a shame because there is some interesting opinions in this that wind off into almost stream of consciousness.

If he had stuck to making his point with data and scrapped the anecdotes it would have made it an easier read.

It really need an editor and fact checking.
I trashtalked Firefox being slow forever, I just tried it out and I must say it's definitely very fast. Great work to the Firefox team.
I cannot wait until the tech bubble bursts and people like you are living on the streets.
What I think is crazy is that this industry exists at the scale it does. It has replaced reality TV for a segment of the world population. There are legions of people that watch these streams, just to watch someone doing something that they could do themselves (but maybe not win as much). This isn't like F1 racing where I'll never be able to afford a racecar, or football where I don't want to exercise. Most of the kids watching these streams own a decent computer and can play.

I suppose it's just not for me. I watch video game reviews to see if something is worth buying, but not more than a few minutes of gameplay. Plus the other things that streaming groups/houses do aren't appealing to me.

Have I gotten old? Is this why grey haired CEOs often miss great business opportunities? They just don't "get it?"
That's a super-useful spreadsheet. Most of my extensions have at least alternate versions with some overlap on what I use.

Theoretically. The actuality of it is very different though. Their oil is difficult for them to acquire and its processing costs are much higher than competitors such as Iraq or Saudi Arabia (or US shale). Their Orinoco Belt oil sands - which holds most of their reserve - would be challenging for the US or Canada to maximize the value of; they basically stand no chance at utilizing it without much higher levels of domestic development/capability (or without fully outsourcing its development).
You can't embezzle $20B without massive international cover up operation. These kind of money stick up.

So we should be actually be asking, who's got it? Should not we make them reimburse money towards Venezuela's lenders?
Any idea how to make firefox focus forget google search history. Its kind of pointless to forget regular browsing history but keep search history around. Open for any workarounds because FFF is quite fast when compared with regular FF.
There's also the problem where girls are heavily targeted for harassment still in the streaming community. I'm under the impression it's slowly improving, but there was a well known twitch user who was a serial SWATer (calling the police and telling them a multiple homicide is occurring / hostages have been taken so that a SWAT team shows up to the streamer's home) on any female twitch streamer who wouldn't chat with him / pretend to be his friend. Law enforcement has been mostly toothless, although in this case, a sympathetic local officer committed hundreds of work hours catching the guy and getting him prosecuted.

You mean the blue loading indicator?
I guess it really depends on the student's motivation (and age, most likely).

My experience was that the biggest danger is not them learning the 'wrong' things but giving up in frustration a few weeks/months in after not getting anywhere.

So it's paramount to get them on something that can achieve their goal (or something close to it) ASAP, so they get hooked on making cool stuff before getting frustrated and dropping off.
You can't enable them in the release version of Firefox. You'd have to use Nightly, I believe.
I don't think that's so clear cut. I'm looking for a new phone now and I refuse to look at anything without a headphone jack. I've been repeatedly told online and by my friends that I'm weird - the headphone jack is dead, the ship has sailed, it's too late now etc etc. But how else can I vote on this if not with my wallet? I want a phone with a headphone jack but the choices are becoming narrower and narrower - and it seems that even picking up something with a jack does not necessarily send a right signal. Look at the original Pixel - it was Google's pride and joy that it still has a headphone jack while the iphone doesn't. Fast forward to today - Pixel 2 doesn't have a jack and no one cares.
Knowing Your Audience
The right thing to do would have been to work on those extensions BEFORE breaking users' experience.
> adblocking becomes impossible

No, it'd just take a sufficiently smart AI.
You can if you run them in different profiles. Use firefox -P to launch the profile manager and create a new profile. You can sign both profiles in to the same Firefox sync account if you want to share history etc between them.
> Also it would be wrong for a mere user to try to enforce it by law, because it might piss off the developers, which is really bad. Also, it might not withstand in court because the developers don't care.

And yet, it is the users who have the ultimate power over developers of such hw/sw. No, not courts, that's the entirely wrong solution.

Their wallets.

Such solutions are being developed only because there's money in it. It is only up to the users, whether this factor is true or not. If they care about sources, they would not purchase hardware that requires blobs. If they don't care, and reward the developers with their money for the blobs, whose fault it is?
I wish I'd taken my step-dad up on his offer and done an chippy apprenticeship when I was 17.

Instead I flailed around, did some c programming, some web development, never went to uni. I even managed to get myself that first job as a software dev, slowly trading upwards, but it always worked against me that I was a high school drop out and had no degree.

Later in life, I looked upon the lack of degree as an asset, I worked harder than the guys/girls who did have a comp/sci degree, because I felt I had to prove myself constantly, to out-do those with a degree.

But I always look back and think, man, I wish I'd just done a carpentry apprenticeship. It's not like the systems change underneath you ever few years, that you have to learn a new "circular-saw" to help you cut timber because everyone is using it, even though the job you're working on, you could get away with a regular hand-saw. The analogy is shit, but you get what I mean.

Any friends/family who ever say "I'm thinking of being a plumber/sparky/chippy" I wholly encourage them.
Pretty click baity, "How entertainers make money by playing video games" is still click bait, but at least gives you an idea of what this is about.

I feel like there is a lot to discuss about this topic (donations, reliable income, future plans ect...) from twitch streaming that doesn't get touched on. But it boils down to the audience wants to interact with you, and will pay you to interact with them.

I'm curious how reliable this income really is, asking for money to give to a celebrity playing a game vs asking for money to play a game seems like a weird event
The poverty line is, unfortunately, not very meaningful and too low.
On older mobile devices it can decrease significantly, but it's still much better then any known Javascript alternatives (e.g. quaggaJS) and works reasonably well even when only passing on a handful of frames/sec to the scanner library. (which happens on slower devices)

OTOH having SIMD would speed it up significantly and probably get them all up to speed.

Facebook's moderation team faces far different incentives and consequences than you when checking if an account is spam. Which is worse - a false positive, or a false negative?

Facebook would rather leave 999 false profiles up and not accidentally close 1 genuine profile that just happens to look spammy. From their perspective, ruining someone's Facebook experience by deleting their account is worse than letting everyone else have a slightly worse experience (after all, even those fake profiles are generating ad revenue).

In contrast, Youtube is flagging, demonetizing, and three-striking channels left and right, using much more trigger-happy moderation (and even auto-mods) to control videos. They have plenty of content creators, but need to keep both viewers and lawyers happy.

Be careful that you know where you stand on these platforms, especially on important things like Amazon AWS accounts.
Hm I see. I don't know any such device, I'm afraid. I only use my phone/Yubikey. It's not hard to make one, if you're so inclined (TOTP is a pretty easy protocol), and I'm sure someone will be selling one already.
I absolutely loved AUR repository and I wish Fedora had something similar. However, with rolling release, something has always been broken: Gnome, GDM, Wayland session, suspend/wakeup, bluetooth. Update would often fix one thing and break another.
Makes sense I guess. Nobody wants Yahoo search as a default.
Venezuela also respects private property, just to a somewhat lesser extent than other countries. It's important to note that the state's protection of such property is to be expected in this case, in which it is the government which acts as a capitalist itself on the global scale and on the internal scale (such as by employing wage labour).

There are numerous examples of people and businesses which own private property and employ people in exchange for wages in Venezuela. The fact that such activity is highly taxed or limited is irrelevant to the point about private property being defended and respected. For it is private property which can ensure the cycle of M-C-M' which we see respected and the functioning of money as the general equivalent form of Value.
Twitch ignores it because they get tons of views and advertising money. They won't kill a golden goose.
There is an importer for at least bookmarks in the bookmark management window.

exploited

They're not being exploited, nor are they exploiting themselves.

No more than DrDisrespect is exploiting the system by dressing up like this: http://wikinetworth.com/uploads/Dr%20Disrespect.jpg

Or Captain Disillusion is exploiting the system by dressing like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Me...

Everyone has a gimmick for attention, and being hot is just one tactic.

And as someone who actively watches Twitch, it doesn't seem to last. You need something more than to be good looking.

I was pretty surprised to find that a girl was a legit bounty hunter. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/201032300

It's counter to what you'd think of when you think "bounty hunter." I thought it was badass. I don't think I tuned in because I was exploiting her.
I personally find the nesting excellent because I am a junkie that opens 90 tabs at a time meandering through the internet and it gives a way to trace my context/history.
Can't get rid of Windows 95?

I see a lot of XP computers around, but it's been years since I've seen a 95/98/ME computer.

(Actually, now that I think about it, I think my dad still had a 98 or ME computer two years ago so he could use an old scanner.)
But isn't that governed by the same origin policy, which cares about specific hosts (so a subdomain would be equally effective)?
If we didn't prevent it, then you'd be stupid to not go to college take out $120k in loans and then declare bankruptcy at 22 prior to taking a job (you'd have no income and no assets). You'd be 29 by the time the bankruptcy fell off your credit report, meaning credit might be tight in those years to buy a car or house, but you'd be debt free - something many people in their 20s and 30s would gladly do if they were given the option. Since a degree is not tangible, there is nothing to secure it with, they can't foreclose on your education like they can a piece of property. Without anything to secure it, there would be 0 market for college loans except for the privileged who can pay out of pocket for their education. IMO the only way to solve it is to put the school on the hook for part of the $$ if the default rate exceeds X%. Then it forces the school to look at costs, as well as expected outcomes of the program. At the end of the day, maybe giving an 18 year old 120k to study underwater basket weaving for 4 years is not the best investment of money?
Great conversation!

> Are you sure your extension cannot identify a QR code, identify that it is a valid seed for 2FA, and capture that information before the page finishes rendering, before the malware would have a chance to 'see' it?

I am sure that any browser extension cannot defeat malware running on the system. We have to assume that the malware is robust and sophisticated. If that is true, then it can monitor my browser and steal the secret directly from the web page as soon as the response comes in from the server. Regardless of how the secret is presented to the user (QR code, plain text, etc) and how 2FB changes the rendered page, there is no way that the malware wouldn't be able to also steal it in that same time frame if it's written correctly.

> The new advice on memorised secrets is laid out in 5.1.1 and subsections[0], with important discussion and rationale in Appendix 1[1].

Gotcha. I literally downloaded this report last week and added it to my kindle along with a boatload of other 2FA related case studies, reports, and white papers. Lots of continued research reading to do. I'll keep an eye out for the section you highlighted.

Great to hear that you might kick the tires on 2FB! It is still heavily under development, but getting closer to a dev preview release. If you haven't already, join the mailing list to get notified of releases: http://eepurl.com/c7OBwj
On my Linux system, a lot of TV shows are FullHD on Amazon Prime video while only being 480p on Netflix. Same for a few, non-blockbuster, movies.
I use my series 2 for sleep tracking and as an alarm clock every night. The battery lasts for ~2 days, and since the battery is so small it charges really quickly, so topping it off before/after bed for a few minutes is enough so it's always charged.
It's incredibly scary to see this technology in current political and media climate of extensive and easily created distractions, smokescreens and outright lies.

Some technology can wait till we humans can handle it.

It might be difficult to copy nuclear bombs, but this will be easy to replicate and unleash upon the world.
