What if it's actually an improvement in search results?

Everyone will search for something with a different set of words based on their experience. If most of those sets of words, all used to search for the same topic in the end, return the same results, isn't it an improvement?

Unfortunately, as you said, it doesn't help when trying to tweak the results you see to find your answer, but most people probably don't search in depth to find THE answer, but are looking for AN answer.

I personally love the burrito variations up and down California.

I grew up on Mission burritos in SF. With Taqueria Cancun being a personal favorite.

But - holy moly - San Diego burritos are out of of this world. Burritos with meat, avocado and french fries. Heaven.
My 2cents based on my experience would be:
1. Forget about scaling and build a MVP asap.
2. For building this MVP if you need to learn new technologies started doing so.
3. Don't waste time

I mean, I'm in favor of gun control for practical, statistical reasons. I want less gun violence, if we can manage to implement some means of accomplishing that. Hard problem, I know.

But I understand the intent of the second amendment. It's not to allow hunting. It's not to allow you to protect your home from robbers. It's definitely a statement of defiance to tyrannical government. So if the NRA doesn't agree to some similar line of thought on encryption, they're hypocrites.

Pentadactyl - an very powerful, vim-like extension which is now permanently broken by Firefox 57

It is now impossible to make any extension that powerful on Firefox, due to design decisions by Firefox to limit the power of extension developers.
Been getting blocked by recaptcha more and more, do any of these tools handle dealing with that or workarounds by default? Tried routing through proxies and swapping IP addresses, slowing down, etc... Any specific ways people get around that?
This is a tangent to your comment: Its pretty common to see people complain about anti-intellectualism as a big problem in modern society. Then, you ask people like Mike Rowe (and I'd bet the author of this article) what the biggest problem is and they'd say its anti-blue collar.

At first I thought these two ideas were at ends, but the more I think about it the more I wonder if the real root concern should just be that too many people are anti-work, either physical or mental.
Good advice considering cast iron is super cheap to buy. You need heavy cookware that can hold heat and it's super important to get the pan hot first and as you said, let the meat sit out for 30m-1h before cooking it. Dry the meat as well and salt a good 45m before cooking to draw moisture out of the thin surface areas and then sear in a hot pan.

I usually use Falk copper cookware (but have some cast iron too when I want a ton of heat that stays hot) since it gets super hot but also has the added ability to change temperatures quickly. So when cooking, I have control and can start hot and take it off the burner to rapidly get the pan temperature down and then back up if I want to start creating a sauce from the fond, deglazing, etc.

But I wouldn't recommend someone spending $300-$500 per copper pan when they're getting started! Cast iron is a great place to start - and if taken care of, will last you forever.

I find original tacos and burritos available in the states often on the same menu where they are available in other manners. Maybe it's a regional thing, places where there is a large Hispanic community?

When you take the food out of it's original context I think there's a freedom to experiment because there are fewer expectations.

Also, Americans do this with everything, especially our own food. Like the recent proliferation of hamburger joints that do all manner of things to the burger, stretching its very definition.

>One important subtlety is that after the DAC (which is just sample-and-hold) there's a Sallen-Key low-pass filter tuned at about 16kHZ,

You mean IC54 and IC56? I noticed them on the circuit but didn't know it was tuned SO LOW! Wasn't the sample rate over 50KHz for each voice? 16Khz looks overkill for such sample rate. I know this is a time-division-multiplexed DAC so pehaps the time division multiplexing generates even more artifacts of their own?

I would love to see a circuit that replaces the whole DAC section with 16 separate DACs that then mix their sound on the analog domain...

Pixar published a lot of great, groundbreaking graphics papers in their early days. (They still do, but as the field is more mature now there's a lot more background reading required.)

For example, I think this one on their rendering pipeline REYES (Render Everything You Ever Saw) is pretty readable, and gives a great overview of how they rendered stuff like Red's Dream, in the years leading up to Toy Story: http://graphics.pixar.com/library/Reyes/paper.pdf

(Edit to add: in fact, just check out the overviews at http://graphics.pixar.com/library/ which are much better than I can describe here)

Mozilla's punch line "Built for People, not for profit" stands at odds with this since we know Google monetizes the heck out your search history.

Another interesting thing to note is Apple dropped Bing for Siri and Firefox stayed with Google. Sounds like Microsoft is not even trying.

Why? What have you found in proprietary software written in China and Russia?
Firefox uses Cocoa/AppKit extensively. It doesn't "imitiate macOS": it actually uses the system APIs throughout.

The one thing it doesn't do is to use native widgets to render the UI of the browser chrome. Using native widgets for Web content in a cross-platform browser isn't a very attractive proposition, because native widgets either can't be composited at all (Windows, GTK+) or require that you delegate your entire graphics stack to the OS-specific compositor for Web content (macOS). Delegating the entire graphics stack to Core Animation would prevent us from making any improvements to it (for example, WebRender). Given that a lot of browser UI (e.g. preferences) is becoming Web content in both Chrome and Firefox, for consistency's sake it seems better to use the same widgets for chrome and content.

I played a bit with WASM and I like its approach, but the one thing that annoys me most with web development is the limited number of client-side languages.

WASM can be great if they allow it to.
The approach here for 64-bit ARM on servers has been to say "it must run UEFI". Then the vendor-specifics get dealt with by UEFI and ACPI, and the kernel can simply assume those facilities exist (and the distro can install new kernels in the usual UEFI way without having to know how to flash them into 500 different bootloaders). You can argue the merits and demerits of UEFI (and people do!) but there's a lot of benefit in pushing for "all server hardware must work like this".

Actress Gal Gadot talked about serving in the Israeli military. I'm paraphrasing, but she said it taught her that there are bigger things in life than herself. It sounds like you had a similar experience as a volunteer firefighter.
We do :) The full details are at https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-auth-server/wiki/onepw-protoc..., but basically we derive two separate keys: one for authentication, that gets sent over the wire, and a completely different one for decrypting the sync key, which is not set over the wire. This means that even if you can observe the entire transaction, you still aren't able to derive the decryption key.

It's more or less:

let quickStretchPW = PBKDF2(email, password)
let authPW = HKDF('authPW', quickStretchPW)
let unwrapBkey = HKDF('unwrapBkey', quickStretchPW)

Where unwrapBkey !== authPW.

"Fine particles from coal power plants kill an estimated 13,200 people each year in the US alone"

https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20928053.600-fossil-f...

The death toll from coal is staggering compared to nuclear. It is not even close.
Yes, my experience is in Midwestern USA. Other places may be quite different. Generally, the way it works here is that there are two main trade paths. One is as part of a union, which is mostly new construction. The second is non-union, which is often replacement and/or service of equipment.

If you're in a union, you basically pay union dues so that the union represents your interests. The power of unions vary widely in terms of healthcare, pensions, jobs available, etc. You get paid via a "scale" based on tenure. But in general, when new construction comes up (houses, skyscrapers, power plants, etc.) you get allocated to those jobs based on your tenure. You may work the same jobsite for years, or maybe a month. It just depends on how big the job is.

Alternatively, if your toilet is clogged, or a pipe is leaking, that is generally a service call. And that is handled, typically, by non-union work. With non-union work, you work specifically for a company. That company provides you with whatever benefits they offer (healthcare, retirement, etc.). When you work service, it almost always includes an "on-call" rotation. You get paid whatever hourly rate you can negotiate with the company and get paid overtime for off-hours work.

Unions are closest to what it sounds like you have in France. But trade unions here have lost much of their power over the years.
>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).

If you'd be stupid not to do it, how many people have actually done it? If it was actually done at a certain rate, why wasn't that rate priced in?

>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%.

This is a pretty good proposal.
But what would stop someone from skipping the hardware encryption and just using a different encryption program? It would be technically impossible to prevent someone from using a different encryption scheme that doesn't touch this hardware encryption device.
The only thing I take away from this is business as usual in China...

This sort of sale/partnership occurs all the time with automakers since they're either not allowed to do business or subject to insane taxes and tariffs if they aren't majority Chinese.

For instance, Volkswagen in China is 50% owned by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation - a Chinese company.

If these proposed browsers don’t ship with a JS engine [1], do you also hope to have more than one internet around?

[1] Such as V8, Chakra, JavaScriptCore, SpiderMonkey, Rhino, Nashorn, there is a variety to choose from, also experimental models such as Tamarin, they are almost certainly not the critical blocker for developing a browser.
It's different because uboot typically resides on what I would refer to as "end-user" storage. If it booted from an on-chip or on-board flash/ROM device and then loaded content from the end-user's device, you're right -- in that case it would be remarkably similar to BIOS/UEFI.

That certainly is a shame, but it's not like we have to accept that as the future. HTML is a document markup language, but we've hijacked it to build interactive UIs. It might be that WASM is just a native-ish FFI system for javascript today, but tomorrow it could be something completely different.

Unfortunately that doesn't disable the "Recommended by Pocket" crap on the New Tab Window. I have Firefox installed on 8 different machines and the option to remove "Recommended by Pocket" in the New Tab Preferences only appears in half of them.

If you're missing the option then you can open about:config and set "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.topstories" to false to get rid of it. I also blew away the "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.section.topstories.options" key that contains all of the configuration crap for pocket.

Unfortunately non of this is or the op's settings are synced in your Profile so you have to change it on all of your machines. :(

[100% Off] Start a Killer Restaurant- How to Open a Restaurant Course
Yeah I think it's really murky too. The interpretation of 'monetary value' is not 100% clear. For example, Japan has a very different stance on these sort of mechanisms.

The only reason the ESRB (admittedly not a regulatory body) does not consider loot crates gambling is because there is no chance of getting nothing from a loot box. Of course, you are almost guaranteed to get items which, in practice, have no value to you.

Let's also not ignore the fact that the micro-transaction model exploits the same exact psychological responses used by gambling houses to get you to spend more money. Combine that with the fact that these games are rated teen and I think you have a problem, regardless of whether or not you call it 'gambling'.
Germany is traditionally very anti-nuclear because when the Chernobyl disaster happened, a lot of people in the south were told to not let their children play outside. Even today some mushrooms and boars that eat those mushrooms are contaminated.

On the French and Belgian side of its borders Germany got some very old reactors that had some serious security related incidents within the last few years. [1] In the city of Aachen the government even distributed iodine tablets if it gets worse.

Additionally Germany doesn't have locations to store radioactive waste indefinitely. The current location for intermediate storage, called "Asse", is known to be leaking contaminated water into all kinds of directions and nobody is really sure how to stop it. [2]

I didn't read the article that closely, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Are finances not entirely dependent on the business plan and or idea?

Applying a one size fits all approach is extremely dangerous.

In my opinion, it is all dependent on which space you are in. Margins speak volumes.(They tell the story of most businesses) For software, the issue of money is not as important as it would be for a hardware business because it's much easier to scale.

The fact that "now" incubators are focusing on ideas that make financial sense may be one of the silliest things that I have ever heard. What that shows is that these venture capitalists/investors are starting to realize that "free money"( super low interest rate environment) will end eventually and it will be more crucial for these companies to be catious on how they spend their money.

Frankly, hearing this is scary, because they are somewhat admitting that the funded people lavishly and asked questions later.

It always makes me wonder how they benchmark vc's who invest in startups. Considering their returns are not public, it is hard to say.

What is even harder to realize and gauge is how they measure "successful investing."

So much of this is luck, especially in a crowded space/market.

Usually the best ideas(the paradigm shift) will always have access to infinite capital, but the ideas that may not be articulated fully, will be severely constrained until proven. That is not a bad thing, but may add some reality to what creating a company is actually about. Who knows whether is good or not, but in a few years we shall find out.
