In my mind, the distinction is simple: Apple is a for-profit corporation, while Mozilla is a charity operating in the public interest. I sometimes agree with Apple's actions while simultaneously distrusting their motives, and I sometimes disagree with Mozilla's actions while simultaneously _trusting_ their motives.
Maybe you've heard of Dota 2 or Overwatch, two massively profitable and popular games with no interactive content behind transactions. EA could have easily just made different cosmetic skins for the USS Enterprise (or whatever) with a hierarchy of rarities, stuck them in crates, and let the money roll in.
I've used it for some larger scrapes (nothing at the scale you're talking about, but still sizeable) and scrapy has very tight integration with scrapinghub.com to handle all of the deployment issues (including worker uptime, result storage, rate-limiting, etc). Not affiliated with them in any way, just have had a good experience using them in the past.

Containers-As-a-Service (CaaS): Hope or Hype?
I don't remember the FOSS world _ever_ working like you seem to think it should. The CADT Model[1] isn't exactly new and it wasn't really new when jwz coined the term either. Only the kernel, POSIX-y things, and enterprise software provides what you're asking for. And forks of Firefox struggle because writing a browser is really really hard and they can't keep up with the changes needed.

Well you've added some context in which they are comparable (some types of image processing), and I agree they are comparable given that specific context. I think that probably was your point that everyone else didn't get, but your original comment was void of context and implied some level of interchangeability, but you have to keep in mind that they are used for far more than image processing (even GLSL is), and will have very different results and very different implementations for the subset of tasks that can be accelerated by both.
I'm sure you'll hear a zillion complaints, but I really appreciate you folks doing this. I've been using a beta version for the last few months on one of my computers and it's so very much better. I can't wait to have it everywhere.

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?
There used to be a MacOS native Mozilla browser [1] called Camino. It was kind of killed by Safari, though.

I disagree. Disabling all refunds is an obvious obfuscation for disabling BF2 refunds.
They absolutely do. Android is known to be a security nightmare. That means a bad reputation, which also means less sales. I hate Apple and their products, but if someone said that they got an iPhone because it's more secure than Android, I can't really argue that they are wrong.
It's shocking how easy it is to become a liar without missing a beat.

If they slipped and someone caught them lying, it would become exponentially worse. Bad idea.

But they should be proud of their sexuality. Whether it's BDSM or hotwifing or whatever strange kink, who cares? It's the same as shaming someone for being gay.

I dislike that we have to be so Victorian about sex. It's the social climate we live in, but... Why?

There are also broader implications: Whenever we discredit the truth, we're contributing to how easy it is to manufacture fake news. There's a certain piece of potentially fake news I've been dying to bring up. It had a big impact on me, and then I realized it might be fake. But in an era when the truth is so easy to distort, what should you believe?
I used to use a combo of python tools. Requests, beautifulsoup mostly. However the last few things I've built used selenium to drive headless chrome browsers. This allows me to run the javascript most sites use these days.
It may not be related but I also noted that processing HTML with lxml (e.g. update every URL of a HTML document with a different domain for instance) was producing malformed HTML with duplicated tags. So I would recommend to use lxml only as a data extraction tool.

Why would you want the state to stop poor people from earning a decent living just because they haven't completed the full set of requirements for a state sanctioned certification? The going rate to have your main sewer line snaked in my area is $250. If that's the only thing you know how to do, why can't you just sell that service?
Not for a while. I was hoping for a browser addon.
There's a huge difference between bomb making and crypto. To make a bomb, you need to gather materials and then carry out some difficult, dangerous steps to turn them into explosives and assemble a bomb. Then if you want another bomb, you have to do it again. If you want a bigger bomb, you need more materials. Consider that any random person can easily buy some ammonium nitrate, but if you try to buy enough to blow up a building without a legitimate reason, you'll run into major obstacles with the law.

Crypto is different. Once you set up crypto, you have it forever. Crypto that can encrypt 1kB can also encrypt 1TB. Crypto that works for one person can easily be made to work for a million people. Computers handle all the hard parts, and there's no obstacle to scale.

It's true that the government could require big companies to put in a master key. The problem is that criminals would trivially bypass such a requirement. There's no computer equivalent to requiring all ammonium nitrate sellers to report sales. And in the other direction, there's no physical equivalent to the havoc that would occur if the master key ever leaked. The risks and benefits are completely topsy turvy for a master key scheme.

Note that the government doesn't really try to restrict bomb making instructions, just bomb making materials. With crypto, the instructions are the only thing there is. There's no such thing as crypto materials, unless you propose to regulate CPUs in general.

>The game regularly has over 2,000,000 concurrent players

Well, I think it is interesting to point out what demographics tend to play a game the most.

If the game has 1,999,999 Chinese players then, I think, that is less interesting than if it had 2,000,000 global players (from all over the place).

Not sure why you think it is so far fetched....
Did they change it today so this is how it works? Your quote doesn't really specify and I pretty much expect this sort of sneaky non-full-disclosure behavior from EA.

Education costs have risen faster than health care costs, you have to try to find some way to contain it or every generation becomes more indebted. As long as the feds are going to throw free money at this, we need to find some way of controlling costs. IMO asking the university staff to tighten their belts and be fiscally prudent is going to get you about as far as trying to build 1000 new mid rise apt buildings in SF. So, what ideas do you have? I don't want to limit federal funds or limit access to education, but we can't have skyrocketing tuition like we have seen for the past 20 years.
That’s a great way to cut people from disadvantaged backgrounds out of college degrees, and therefore social mobility.
Regulate encryption like you regulate heavy weapons. You can carry a gun, but you can't carry an assault rifle. But you can get special permission for special cases.

Yes, the master key for your SMSes will be leaked pretty quickly, but every business with a legitimate use for encryption will be able to use it. In the end your bank account will not get hacked, terrorists will continue using strong encryption, but law enforcement will be pacified.

That's 18th century, which I think is just as interesting, but I think the main point of the article is, "what the heck did people eat before they discovered the Americas, and how did that change as American foods spread?"

For Firefox 57, the team has been working essentially on improving CPU, GPU and memory usage, as well as concurrency. I know that some people have been looking at energy, but that's not where most efforts were spent.

I hope that our next priority becomes energy. Stay tuned :)
I've donated >$100 to one streamer in one go, who I've watched for years for both entertainment and game-related education (watching his tutorials on how to get better at games I play).

The traditional sense of paying someone cash for something often happens in parallel: you give something and you immediately get something. I think the mentality (or, at least my mentality) with streamers and tipping is a bit different: after you've received something (e.g. entertainment for X duration), _then_ you give something (a tip). Tipping someone $100 at any point might not make total sense in the moment to someone else observing, but tipping someone $100 for e.g. the last 6 months of free entertainment makes a lot of sense to the tipper. Sure, you could get away with not tipping and make that entertainment truly free, but you also want to support those who are creating it and encourage them to make more. After all, you pay for other entertainment, and often a large tip every once in a while still evens out to (much) less than you'd pay otherwise.
Seems like you can turn it off completely (except it still collects some data but does not actually send it to Mozilla), but you need to read the docs and toggle some about:config preferences.

Personally I'd just uncheck all the options exposed in the UI and trust that Mozilla is not collecting stuff behind my back, at least not data that can be de-anonymised.

Given the performance and memory usage improvements in FF57, it might not be necessary any more (I note that extension was last updated in 2007)
I'm arguing the opposite: I think people would update if updates didn't break their shit. I have no statistics on this, and would gladly welcome some, but IME people heavily complain that "the last update broke my $x, so I don't want to update again".

If we had 2 different channels of updates: security and feature, then this wouldn't be an issue.

I completely agree with you about the laws and open-sourcing.
I agree that our student loans are junk and need a revamp, but if banks only loaned for the rate of return of a job, we'd have engineers and no one else. There is something to said for having artists and philosophers are "useless" as their degrees are perceived to be.

Glad Tree Style Tabs ported over to 57...but kinda annoying I needed to uninstall/re-install add-on to get it working again
The danger, or maybe just annoyance, with #2 (with only accepting friend requests without intent to do more) is that they then use the friend connection to further advertise to your friends. I accepted one once - wasn't paying attention to mutual friend count or something - and was immediately spammed on my wall with some site ad and then they deleted their account. So some, rather than the slow scam game, are just playing the spam game.

Another danger is that with the extended access to your profile, they could get enough content to clone you convincingly, and then you get the scam where all your friends receive a duplicate friend request from "you", and the new profile tries to sell them on some scam.
It _has_ to be stupid. A non-scammy-looking scam might attract people who would notice any minor inconsistency, thus risking more reports and more time of the scammer wasted interacting with a potentially-failed prospect.

Now, only the most gullible, most desperate of people would fall into such "obvious" scams, which means a greater return rate for the effort spent.
I had the impression that CENTOS7.3 was available on baremetal ARM64 on scaleway since a long time. Is it really new ? Maybe I do not understand what this announce is about.

My snarky reply: "It's too bad I have to pay for the priviledge of being included in a data set used for product refinement."

Also: no. When I was working as an intern at St. Jude Medical we were training neural networks to recognize heart conditions and adjust other measurements. It was 2002. That work was later published and widely adopted. Modern medical hardware can account for it (inexpensive or older hardware often asks the technician to diagnose and calibrate the machine).

It's very frustrating that Apple continues to pretend economy of scale is breaking into new territory.
I was specifically replying to poster askafriend about how "finances first" didn't apply to Google Inc. I'm saying that it probably did but the popular narrative has hidden that fact. (I doublechecked to see that I did reply to askafriend instead of ThomPete so there shouldn't be confusion.)

An example company that might fit askafriend's argument better would be Craigslist. That started as a shared email list which grew organically into something bigger. Craig also turned down VC money.
What do they mean by "squash" (on the map)?
It is a complex subject and I agree that in case of monopoly (natural or not) and in case of strategic sector we should make an honest evaluation of what serve best the Nation and the People. Also, if you nationalize it shouldn't mean that you don't compensate fairly the private owner.
Implementations suffer not just from actual bugs, but from implementation choices that leak information (power consumption, timing data, etc...)

Crypto implementation available today are only good until they are not anymore and it's impossible to say when that might happen. For example, a new compiler optimization might expose something that wasn't previously exposed.
The new style system is faster, but partly due to parallelizing, which doesn't necessarily mean fewer CPU cycles (though _can_ mean more time spent in CPU sleep state).

I don't know why you think 57 uses less memory than 56 for the "renderer and JS engine". I don't think it does. In fact, the data shows that it actually uses a bit more than 56, though this obviously depends on workload.

(Disclaimer: I work on the Firefox rendering engine and have done some work on the JS engine.)
For what it's worth, Firefox used to be able to do this (with a few manipulations). At some point, that feature was killed, because apparently nobody (except me) was using it :/

It's a shame, because I would really like to be able to move my chat clients out of the Firefox UI.

Good Lord. There are two issues with college tuition:

The first problem is people are not shopping around for a college education. There are thousands of incredible colleges around the USA that will give you the same or better education as a pricey school on the coasts.

I did my easiest credits at Bulter County Community, then Wichita State University, before finishing up at Kansas State University. I only took on about $8k of debt for a degree in Information Systems (computer science with an emphasis in business classes) from their engineering school (which is one of 24 schools that has a nuclear reactor on campus). K-State itself was a hoot to go to, it's a great little school in a swanky town isolated by 2 hours of prairie grass.

The second problem is people are paying way too much for a nearly useless degrees that some colleges offer. You can get a degree in "music therapy" or "insurance administration", both of which a motivated individual could also get on-the-job training for.

Somewhere there should be a list of "Degrees you should not get if you're going to pay more than $x for" to help bright-eyed high school kids make good decisions.
