Hey, so what would be the better way to say it?
Spot on. Chrome is not the standard by which all others are judged. Like some others here, I've used Firefox since it existed, even when it was Phoenix and Firebird. The only other browser I will use besides FF-based browsers is Uzbl. Firefox allows me to lock down and customise my browser in ways Chrome does not. Let's not even go into the privacy nightmare that is Chrome.

Have you tried the dev tools in FF 57? As a FF user with Chrome-as-debugger for 3-4 years, I'm honestly impressed.

FF 57 also has "duplicate tab" with duplicate history.
interesting is an afterthought. None of that has anything to do with civilization, aside from I suppose the lack of complete and utter destruction of the local ecology.
Correlation need not be causation, but does imply linkage.
Serious question here. My impression is that Silicon Valley leans heavily liberal, and as such most people there believe in a progressive tax structure and generally lean towards wanting the government to receive more revenue than conservatives. If my impression is wrong, then please correct me.

With this in-mind, why is there such outrage about taxing option and RSU income? It's still income. And the current situation could not be described as anything but a tax break for the "wealthy," at least insofar as Obama liked to define people as wealthy. It's an asset that you receive in connection with your labor. It's income. And you don't have to pay income tax on it (iirc, it's mostly cap gains when exercised). And it's mostly given to people who already make $150k+ a year anyway.

I cannot reconcile this outrage over still having a tax dodge (but not as good of one) with the political leanings of SV.
Yeah, mostly applies to pre-IPO companies offering stock options/RSU's.
I'm also surprised at the lack of activity. I found this to be a very well-written, well-researched look at the topic (and it's one I'm always a little skeptical about as a woman in tech who has never encountered any harassment or discrimination).
10 Book Recommendations by Sam Harris
Any one error only affects a portion of the network. For example a problem might take Australia or the American East Coast offline, but that doesn't significantly affect the rest of the network (unless they try to reach affected regions). That was the design goal and it works perfectly.

What you want is entirely different. The European power network for example is designed for (n+1) redundancy: any one equipment failure doesn't have significant effects. If you take that a bit further you could include misconfigurations or even allow entire companies to fall out of the network. But each level of assurance requires more overprovisioning to compensate for failed equipment or lost capacity. And overprovisioning is expensive.

Self Driving Phones
I did, but based on my limited experience he only goes deep into questioning when he’s vetting someone or when he sees or hears something that doesn’t seem right. He’s a stickler for details. With an engineers mind for logic and reasoning. You can’t bs him because he is investing in things he is actively studying from multiple sources. You need to know the details and logic behind your approach. The people I saw stumble on the subjects I knew about tended to get flustered when put on the spot and couldn’t provide a logical explanation that made sense or showed attention to detail.

Example, I’m making this up, but it’s a similar type of question I saw, someone is explaining how their application stores data, he will ask, “are you encrypting it?” Response: yes “how?” Response: using XYZ “why not ZYX?” Response: well, we haven’t thought a lot about that yet Response: “well what’s the impact on the processor when encrypting?” Response: not sure...

The engineer thought he was building a app to do X but Bill Gates is operating at a different level, perhaps he has a theory on the future of hardware, or how he wants to deploy this in developing countries. Or he read a recent paper where researchers highlighted the impact of encryption for this specific type of application that he thinks you missed. If he respects you, he will point you into a certain direction and it’s a peer to peer discussion and sharing of ideas, if he doesn’t...it’s painful to watch.

Using 57 for few days, speed improvements are impressive.

But two things which is going to stop me from complete switch.
1. There is no native websocket inspector. websocket-monitor[0] add-on which supported websocket inspection is not compatible with quantum. Really wish they speed up native support development[1]
2. Double tap zoom really makes it easy to find UI issues. Really wish it get implemented in firefox too.

I have to disagree, or at least say "it depends". If your domain or stack tends to use a bunch of similar and related operations over and over, then packaging them together in a "UtilitiesForX" class or module is often much less code than managing them independently. Plus, they often use or reference each other so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Standardizing tools and conventions in a shop is how you save time. Independent bolts may not fit independent wrenches so that you have to reinvent both. Bundling tools and parts into "kits" helps ensure they fit together well. There's a balance between part independence and kit standardization. Experience and analysis is needed to weigh that trade-off well.
Google is just the default, you can set it to whatever search engine you like.
Pro-redistribution people like me would be thrilled if we were removing distortionary tax expenditures from rich people to benefit the poor or even middle class.

What’s proposed is punishing the urban rich to benefit the megarich, with a tax increase after less than 10 years for the median household.

Which is very clever if your poor base is willing to go along with it, which appears is the case.

Who cares if all semblance of shared institutions dies in the process, the megarich get their tax cut!
>There's actually quite a large group of people out there that support things like this.

Isn't that kind of the issue? The majority, some of whom will rarely if ever travel by airline, are fine with this crap because they somehow thinks it makes them "safer" vs terrorists.

>pat-downs

I used to opt-out up until a year ago. I felt like it was the only way I could take some small stand against the security theatre crap. They had just introduced the new 'enhanced' pat-downs - back some guy being much more firm and thorough with his touches and wiping the back of his hand across my dick 4-5 times. That sat with me (still does) and I said fuck it, the system got me, and I do the body scanner now.

Beyond the mass surveillance BS, I'd really like us to take on the state-sanctioned sexual assault that has been going on since 9/11. I've seen grannies and pre-teens patted down too. So ridiculous. Checking the private areas of citizens doesn't make this country safer.
Thanks. Right, that's it, I'm probably on my way back.
Thanks, I'll update my knowledge :)
Wasn't really aware about MoCo and their deals with all major search engines.
Thanks for sharing - this is a wonderfully succinct way to say something I've been trying to model my "to-do" process around for years now. I have spend more time than it's worth switching between to-do apps and processes; I've used calendars, notepads, all sorts of things. Finally, and recently, I've come to the conclusion that at the end of the day, you've got to just do the thing that is bothering you the most, and keep a record of the things that are also bothering you. Beyond that, it doesn't really matter how you keep track of what needs be done, just so long as you take the first step on something.
> The one kind of people who aren't named in this article: investors.

Just to clarify, you mean private company investors. Typically a company goes public as part of entering a different "life stage" and its operation and needs on either side of that transaction are different.

Which, BTW is why there are so few "crossover" funds (like TCV) that invest in both private and public companies: the things you look for are quite different (in operations, risk, and return).

(I count the private equity guys like Silverlake and Carlisle in the "public" side since they invest in companies that are already public and have similar op needs to public companies).
Percentage of total users is deceptive in some ways. The absolute number of FF users can stay the same, or even rise, and their % share can decline. It is absolute number of users that impacts the deals they can make. That's not to say a larger % wouldn't be good for FF.
I'm patiently waiting for improved profile support and better Chrome add-on support before I can abandon Chrome entirely.

Been running Firefox for my personal browsing almost exclusively for years (with the occasional Chrome use) but I still can't ditch Chrome for work because of a few add-ons that don't work in Firefox - mainly Mixmax.
To be fair you can have a duplicate browser tab in almost any browser by clicking the back or forward button with mouse3.

They get away with that when it comes to gun control, why not with privacy too?
I wonder if the recent increase of ppm of (some) atmospheric greenhouse gases has an equilibrium-shifting effect back that would result in increased disturbances/mini tectonic movements because of pressure against the surface of the earth? Just curious, because it would be neat to know if there is such a link, or even if there is such a link and that e.g. fracking causes more earthquakes because of 'adjusting geological densities' or something like that.
BGP is such a great foot gun precisely because the internet is decentralized.

There's no central repository of how to route traffic for an IP [1]. If there was, it would probably mess things up from time to time, but not to such a large extent.

Instead, we just have to kind of trust BGP announcements -- especially if they come from ISPs that credibly could route anything (Level 3, other "teir 1" isps).

[1] Actually there are some efforts to develop this. After all, IP allocations are essentially centralized under the five regional internet registries. There are some registries of routing information (RADB is the most well known, I think); but not all ASNs participate, and filtering routes from large transit ISPs is still a major problem.
So there's a market for these kinds of games. I don't like microtransactions and what they do for gameplay, either. But I don't see the point in getting worked up about it like this. It's so much easier to just not buy those games, and spend my money on the kinds of games I do enjoy, instead.

It leaves me thinking that maybe melodramatic wailing on Reddit is secretly a big part of the fun.
The question then is, what happens when they drink the lemonade? Thirst quenching? Butterflies and rainbows? Diarrhea? Cirrhosis?

I often notice people doing it the other way around: they post to their blog and then it automatically sends it to medium.com - you then get something like "this was first posted on <domain>" at the bottom of the medium post. Medium API allows that, and for WP there certainly are plugins for that.

The problem is taxing illiquid gains. If they are liquid, vesting time is the logical time to tax them.

Conversely, taxing at exercise time doesn't really make sense for illiquid gains and more than vesting time does. People have problems with this now.

The real challenge would be to fix this without creating an incentive to keep gains illiquid when they could be liquid.
Would you be cool if you got taxed on the income tax scale upon selling them?

Indeed - and a country made of single family homes has catastrophic externalities via its car dependence. Exclusivity in cities with economic opportunity denies it to all but the already-privileged and widens the gap. Housing scarcity hurts the poor and burdens local social services.

Beyond the hyperlocal level (like, block level) the externalities lens says build, build, build.

On the surface though, these guys look to be a small company in Vietnam, so I doubt they have an infinite budget, much less a "large" budget for this demonstration.
I wonder if the review is missing some aspects of "concentrate on one subject"?

On one subject, a mentor can be a master, and master instructor. And such instruction is crucial for developing deep expert understanding. But in the future, with better content, and improved learning infrastructure, one might imagine these becoming available for more than one subject.

Both the concentration on one subject, and that subject being chess, contribute to the effort having nice properties. Like non-superficiality. An integrated and deeply organized body of knowledge and skills. Developing transferable knowledge (within the subject at least), rich feedback, and reflective building of mastery. But it's the properties that matter. Chess, or another one subject, might be taught in a way that fails to have the nice properties. And as learning infrastructure improves, the nice properties may become available without the "one subject" or "and it's chess" restrictions.

There's a long history of exceptional masters teaching their field/craft to their children from a young age, who in turn become exceptional masters. The challenge is to scale that.

The straightforward "a gaggle of masters in everyone's pocket" is AI-complete implausible. But the art of the next decade is crafting human-computation hybrid systems. Things like eye tracking, and big data, provide opportunities that no master mentor has ever had. We just need to get around to building on them.
Yeah, they even recently officially posted the speedometer result and it was a few percent behind Chrome. Also some consider Speedometer to be the closest thing to a real user performance benchmark.
Battlefront 2 (the new one) isn't released until the 17.
I can't remember the last time I thought about how "fast" a browser is except for edge cases like complex WebGL stuff.

I don't think focusing on speed will plug the gap of users leaving for other browsers except for the minority of us on HN. I can't remember the last time a non-technical person I know complained about browser speed beyond a website itself being slow.

Did any of you try FF 57? I also used a lot of extensions, but basically all the ones that mattered to me work again. (For tree style tabs I have to add a bit of CSS in a file to make it not awkward, though)
.NET Core and .NET Standard

I don't understand why they need so many different "cross-platform" standards. Why is the platform so fragmented when MS controls the whole thing?

Very interesting article. One tangent note: The author appears to have committed a felony by opening someone else's mail. Even if they're dead. A random quirk of the law.

Very fair point. This is why Firefox 57 is so great IMO, i started using firefox again and now I don't think I'll leave it again soon. I think i'm not alone.
You just gave me an idea.
Yup. Those days were painful. From 2.0 and on it has been a lot better. .Net 4.6.2 compatible libraries will be loaded by the runtime now, so you don’t have to repackage and redistribute every Library that has not already added a DotNet Core target. I’ve only had one library I’ve tried fail due to relying on an API that had not yet been ported to DotNet Core.

2. Run it straight for a few years, but then really hammer the fund with crazy bad expenses (and possible self dealing -- but keep it legal) Do so poorly that any account with a pulse will withdraw all their funds.

3. What's left over is free money for you draw down as 'expenses' for as long as it lasts.
How annoying UX affects the bottom line was one of the most important lessons I learned working on apps.

Take for example removing the Cancel button from the sign up screen, 5-10% bump in sign ups, etc. (Eventually Apple made us 'fix' this)

Generally, the only time a minorly annoying UX affects you negatively is when the platform penalizes it, like the notifications prompt on iOS, if they don't agree the first time you ask, you have to make the user to into settings to enable it. So generally you put your own prompt in before the system prompt, else users might deny the request.
Railroad Tycoon 2 had a better market simulation component than Offworld Trading Company, which in my opinion never really came to completion. OTC just doesn't have any depth to the gameplay, or for that matter the game mechanics.

I had my EA account stolen once. You know what they did? Nothing. I was able to trace the culprit's real name, his e-mail address, country of origin, and ISP via an IP address (which was not provided by EA, by the way ;-)). I did not even get a response from EA's customer service, except some drone sending me a password reset, which I did not need by then.

At least Blizzard puts some effort into it. And I can, without much trouble, get a human on the phone if I call Blizzard's customer service department.

From personal experience, this is absolutely correct and still a major problem which needs solving. The nurses in hospital will keep a fluids-in fluids-out chart constantly logging their best estimates. Outside hospital this will not happen. Lack of fluids can be fatal. I would not be surprised if this was proven to be a very common cause of fatality for people with dementia. Even in hospital fluids-in fluids-out may not be recorded accurately - the measurements require more human effort and continuity of care than is likely to be available. (It is always best for people to be enabled to do things, for example drinking and eating, for themselves if possible, and this can take a long time.)

My guess is that fluids intake could be tackled to some extent by a measured drinking device. The difficulties are spillage being counted as consumption, simple and safe operation for people with lower cognitive, physical and sensory abilities, the need for hospital-level cleanliness of the device, and of course cost. I do not know why we do not have devices like this when people can die from lack of fluids.

A less obvious way technical people can help is to test the accessibility of their products. A device with a black button on a black background, or which in some other way obscures its controls and functions, is a failure in this respect. Make all the functions visible, easy to understand and easy to operate. Test websites with automated tools like https://try.powermapper.com/Demo/SortSite

Sounds like a cult. One that’s a cross between John Calvin and Chairman Mao.

This route attaches all of your self worth to your job. You don’t control your success at work. And if you think you do I encourage you to evaluate your attachment to the illusion of control.

One day, when a series of setbacks at work happens, it will shake that self worth. And you will look up and realize you have sacrificed other things chasing after something that isn’t as rewarding as it used to be.

You’ll realize that you had time to get Good at your job and something else too, but habit took over and you believed the bullshit of people who got rich off of your hard work and then forgot all about you. And you don’t have your music or art or woodworking or running or your old friends to fall back on. Because you were at work for the last 15 years.

I’m not saying this because I am a lazy bastard, worried about other people making him look bad. I’m saying this as someone who tried it. Don’t do this. You’ll end up as a person full of regrets, trying to warn others not to do the same.
