I thought it was a myth too, but iOS 11 is undeniably much slower for me. And I don't understand why, as it doesn't seem like it adds many features. There's a new filesystem, but shouldn't that be faster, not slower?
I've been making that argument for some time now. The similarity between "responsible encryption laws" and "responsible gun laws" is stunning.
hey I'm working on this thing called BAML (browser automation markup language) and it looks something like this:

OPEN http://asdf.com
CRAWL a

It's meant to be super simple and built from ground up to support crawling Single Page Applications.

Also, creating a terminal client (early ver: https://imgur.com/a/RYx5g) for it which will launch a Chrome browser and scrape everything. http://export.sh is still very early in the works, I'd appreciate any feedback (email in profile, contact form doesn't work).

Thanks, this reply definitely helps me understand it a bit more.
In a nutshell, SELinux controls how applications can interact with the filesystem, network, and OS.

For example, It can control whether an application can bind to a privileged network port (below 1024) or whether an app can write to areas other than its default working directory.

And it is not immediately obvious when it's causing issues, just because it's not used as strictly or at all in other distros. I was having trouble connecting to a service I started in Fedora, even though I disabled firewalld. Turns out it was SELinux.

I agree that going to court is a good thing but you can't compare talking about one of the most vulnerable moments of one's life with friends to having to tell all details of the story to strangers in public while possibly being challenged by an adversarial lawyer or cops who may not believe you.
I don’t want necessarily want an adblocker built into my web browser. It creates too much centralized risk and power for the kinds of shenanigans pulled by ABP or ghostery, and it would hurt adoption of good add-ons like ublock.

What I DO want to see is something like ublock matrix become a standard feature. Matrix is an incredible add-on that has made the web more useable and more debuggable for me. If it was built-in, the defaults would have to be toned-down or turned off, because it breaks too much of the web, but a simple “privacy mode” toggle to step up restrictions would be welcome in a private browsing window.

Call it “War Mode” or “Paranoid Window” when using a private window with maxed out Matrix.

That's a terrible argument. Even in the 1600s where indentured servitude was commonplace, the system was essentially slavery, with comparable death rates. Hell America had a rebellion because of white slavery - Bacon's rebellion.

We got rid of slavery because of the social impact and also because of the moral implications. There's no reason to bring it back in another form.
> how many countries participated in the Russian civil war on the side of the whites.

All those countries were protecting assets sent to Russia and Czechs abused by Bolsheviks.
If they were actually _participated_ in civil war, Bolsheviks will be crushed in a week or so.

> Since all socialist revolutions are met with the full ferocity of the capitalist states, it's not clear how they can win militarily without becoming a dictatorship.

Yes, sure. "I'm not guilty, they've made me do it" - looks like favourite mantra for wrongdoers all over the world.

> No socialist revolution has succeeded in an industrialized nation. They have all taken place in the periphery.

Correlation doesn't imply causation. Many "peripheral" countries didn't have socialist revolutions and there were few attempts in industrialized nations.
For example, Poland and Finland, having even lower industrialized level than Russian Empire - they were spared from socialist revolutions. Not that Bolsheviks didn't tried to instigate them.

> It sounds like socialism hasn't ever been achieved.

Ok, why you're still calling USSR, Venezuela, Cuba etc socialist countries then?
Then that would have been a good thing to say. If you say you didn't read something when you actually did, you can't blame people for taking you at your word.

Politics as usual, then. The stated reason for doing something is usually not the actual reason. I'm glad to see someone is standing up to this industry crony nonetheless, doing the right thing for the wrong reason is still doing the right thing.
It never occurred to me that my stutter could spill across into the way I write - but it does - the word choices I use when writing are directly related to the word choices I'd use when speaking. I use similar word substitution tactics to get around a minor stutter, its lead me to have a much wider working vocabulary than I would otherwise.

Completely agree. I don't think banks should be operating like they do now. It's almost charitable in how it works. Banks, who are driven by profit, give out these loans at a massive risk.

I stand by my point because banks shouldn't be in this position. People aren't companies and they shouldn't be looked at in terms of returns. I (and this is my completely personal opinion) think either education should be free or only the government should provide education assistance.
No, Venezuela is the text-book example of destructive policies and corruption. Those can exist in any kind of economic system.
Aren't you confusing apps and the OS here?

Apps are definitely bigger and slower, but that's separate from whether the OS is faster or slower.

Anecdotally (and I agree) iOS 11 is slower than 10 for many of the same tasks -- things like switching apps, opening the camera, opening the keyboard.

(Disclaimer: I work for Amazon but this is my opinion.)

While it's true that Amazon collects about as much data as it is able to, there's a big difference in their intentions when compared to someone like Google or Facebook.

In the end, it's obvious what Amazon's motives are: they want you to buy more of their products, or more of other people's stuff from their store. The data helps them improve their products and services so you pay them more money. Personally, I'm okay with that because their incentives are aligned with mine: if they make more stuff I want, then I'll pay them for it.

Note that I'd argue the same way about Apple and Microsoft.

On the other hand, it's not clear what Google or Facebook want from you. Their incentives are not aligned with their users because their money comes from advertisers. It's the advertisers that are their customer, not the users. So I'd put Amazon in a completely different class from the Google and Facebook.

But this ad-supported Amazon Video starts to change that, because any money they get from this is shifting their interests towards advertisers and away from customers.
They have every incentive to do the opposite though. Fake profiles still count towards ad-revenue because advertisers aren't calling Facebook out on their bullshit.
I suspect so. Not very impressed that Mozilla failed to mention the money question, when it's obviously going to be a matter of concern for anyone who thinks the Mozillian way.

Could be an interesting tension if so. Mozilla were involved in a recent event promoting awareness of data/privacy concerns. They weren't shy about mentioning Google by name as a big bad.

Interesting. I'm on mac, and I'd say I'm usually pretty sensitive to native widgets, but for whatever reason the toolbar and the menus don't bother me at all. Overall it has a very clean feeling to me. Maybe just because I've gotten so used to browsers being their own little world.

What does drive me crazy is

1. not having bounce scrolling

2. not live-panning the page when using a swipe gesture to go back

Bounce scrolling, especially, I think is table stakes if you want to take the Mac seriously.
Ah, good to know. Ideally it should also derive another key when logging into Sync, so it's never sent verbatim even through a secure channel.

> sync my black/whitelists through Firefox Sync

It's technically possible, although UX is terrible. Go to uMatrix settings, make sure to "enable cloud storage" option is set in the "settings" tab, then manually upload and download rules in the "my rules" tab.

No automatic sync (won't be implemented[1]) and, no merges at the moment (button's broken[2]).

I used to have a video game addiction. I once sat on my knees for 8 hours playing Mega Man 2 (I could barely unfold my legs afterwards). When I got Diablo in 1996, I stayed up for 40 hours playing it, to the point where I started clicking on hallucinatory demons on the screen.

I am so happy I stopped playing video games before in-app purchases became a trend. Destroyed productivity was bad, but the stories about people flushing tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain terrify me. That could have been me.

I agree fully, and as I commented above, I don't personally believe this is a place for banks to be for that reason. It's shoehorning a profit-focused entity almost as a charity in my eyes. It incentivizes banks to go after borrowers as if they were a failed business when in reality they're just trying to improve themselves (which is good for all of us).

>When she changes to another app, our video chats go dark; there's no Termux or GNURoot equivalent (that I'm aware of)...

LOL! At the point you expect 99% of phone users to know what Termux or GNURoot are, let alone use them, the argument has already been lost. I have several hundred Android devices for testing and about two dozen iOS devices. It has always struck me that the primary draw to Android is the hackability, but at the same time, it's the greatest weakness in the platform, that and the variability in hardware.
Twitter has a similar problem with bots. They're bad for the platform, but the short term incentives are all wrong for them to actually do something about it.
Great to see!

After spending a week trying to get various OS's to play nice on my PC, everything "just worked" in fedora. And worked well - apple polish level experience. Now, i use it over debian as my main dev VM.

It's a great OS for getting out of the way and letting you get stuff done.

Killing off "_blank" would disable force-opening links in a new window, which is useful in dynamic context, e.g. chat page, so I don't want that.

Also, window.opener is still abusable if I middle-click links to open in a new tab. I was very surprised when my Google Search tab got replaced by something else after I middle-clicked on some questionable link.
I mean it worked for me as marketing. I'm a FPS gamer and didn't know this was coming out. It made me go look on footage on YT to see if it was something I'd like despite the drama (the answer was no).
> Our goal was to develop a single operating platform across multiple 64-bit ARMv8-A server-class SoCs from various suppliers while using the same sources to build user functionality and consistent feature set that enables customers to deploy across a range of server implementations while maintaining application compatibility.

I wonder how successful this was. Previously, all x86 CPUs (including x86_64) would bootstrap into the same mode from 1970s CPUs and preserve all the functionality from the original ISA (we still talk to the RTC via inb/outb, e.g.). I suppose this changed a little bit after EFI/UEFI was offered?

ARM CPUs were not bound to this backwards compatibility so AFAIK every vendor could implement their own bootstrapping functionality, and therefore having a single bootloader was challenging/impossible? uboot is a popular basis solution but IIRC everyone provides their own tweak to suit their SoC. Does TrustZone normalize the bootstrapping process for ARM devices such that we can write a single bootloader binary and expect it to work the same way across ARM server SoCs?
I think costs need to be displayed up front and the value shown straight away; questions that can be answered through the service.
Also step away from using TypeForm and develop your own system to collect data and payment so it can be more secure and a more consistent experience with the rest of the website.

Why do you need to impart any ethical justification? For millennia, humans have been stealing from other humans for their own benefit. It's not psychopathic in any exceptional sense. It's so prevalent that it's hard to call it anything but human nature.
Are they writing their own DOM parser in Rust though?

I should clarify what I meant. I was thinking more the way Cordova works where the JS side handles the DOM but the wasm side handles computations and they talk to each other via a "bridge". So maybe React can offload its heavier computations (diff-ing and what not) to a C lib compiled to wasm and it just returns data back to it.
The OP probably didn't think about it, but that's really a great idea/strategy. I bet the poster was just so rattled by it he didn't think about just denying it.

I can see why the police/fbi can't really do anything. It doesn't seem like there was anything criminal technically. They might be able to go after the person with a civil suit for slander? I don't know though, not a lawyer.

> What if a band of member states block a reasonable deal from happening even against the interest of the other member states?

That would be unfortunate, and would represent the organisation deliberately harming itself. I think this is less likely under a scheme where unilateral revocation is impossible, as there is less incentive to posture and attempt to force a reversal.

> What if the leaving member endures a change in government and comes to a different view?

Then they seek the agreement of the member states to maintain membership or to rejoin.

> What if unilateral revocation is the only means to save millions of jobs and avoid economic carnage?

This sort of thing must be taken into account before filing the intent to leave.

> And what protections would the leaving member have (still a fully signed up paying member during the 2 year time frame mind you) if the EU27 wasn't negotiating in good faith?

At the point that A50 has already been filed, then it's in everyone's interest to negotiate in good faith (before even mentioning that such an approach is codified in the treaties anyway). The only situation I can see where it could be advantageous not to treat the leaving party with good grace and attempt a mutually beneficial outcome would be if you are trying to scare other potential leavers into line. However I don't think that behaviour would be affected by whether the notification is unilaterally reversible.

Basically - I really do feel like this being a one-way process reduces motives for either party to screw around.
Or, as is absolutely the case, because of the aggressive blocking and monitoring policies and restrictive usage policies in place in the kind of enterprises where IE remains common, they are exposed to the public internet and use public webpages, but with usage patterns which leave them underrepresented on the kind of sites that use third-party stat counters. OTOH, for certain other public websites, they are very large numbers of users.
(thanks :) )

> As long as you're here: I was told that the old extension API was way too broad, locking in a lot of design choices that were not really considered from the "do we want to maintain this for years and years" perspective. And that the new one is much more focused and considered. Is that the case?

Definitely. The old extension mechanism was basically "here is the toolkit we are using to build Firefox, come and plug anywhere/replace anything". If my memory serves correctly, at the time, Mozilla Browser/Firefox was (almost) the only browser doing any kind of extensions (I'm not counting M3 and a few experimental/academic browsers), so there was no real precedent on how to do this.

For a time, it worked extremely well. After all, much of today's Firefox is built from add-ons that were progressively integrated in the browser. And then, progressively, we realized that there were drawbacks to this "anything goes" approach, but we couldn't fix things because that would mean breaking thousands of add-ons.

So, after many years trying to postpone the inevitable for the sake of our users, we finally switched to a much better defined API. This WebExtension API is much smaller, much better documented, and does not expose internals-only stuff. Which means that now, we can fix internals-only stuff without breaking the API. Which should make the life of both Firefox developers, add-on developers and users much better :)
... and overestimates legislators' attachment to principles.
Also, since you talked above about the "lack of documentation" to get up and running with a small Kafka deployment of only 1 broker and 1 ZK instance: this is covered in the Kafka quickstart, which is probably what most people will read when starting out with Kafka. See https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#quickstart.

Perhaps you had a different issue though?
The problem is a little bit more than people are paying too much for a worthless degree. It's that they are being given a loan that is backed by the US Government to get that worthless degree.

If the government removes the backing and allows the free market to give loans and set interest rates, suddenly you'll see that the lowest rates will be for STEM degrees, and those who want to study music theory, art therapy, English literature, are going to get loans for school.

However, that defeats the entire narrative of "everybody should go to school and everybody should learn whatever they want."
