I am so vexed by your complaint that I had to create an account just to ask what you thought signing in to Chrome does. What did you think it was going to do? The fact that it syncs your history to your account is front and center in the description, not buried in some legal document:

https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/185277

"When you sign in to Chrome, your info is saved to your Google Account so you can get it whenever you need it."

It is literally the first sentence. I also support some of the various EU privacy initiatives but I don't support them because I think users should be militantly ignorant about what they're doing.
Sheesh.. pedantry on HN can be harsh. I remember sparking about 15 cranky comments for calling Milton Friedman “on the Austrian side of economics.”

But, can’t beat em, join em.

Qualcomm is basically Estonia. Qualcomm’s revenue multiple is about 4.25X. Using that multiple, Estonia should have a similar valuation.

Qualcomm has the higher growth rate, but Estonia has been a country for a while with a loyal customer base. Qualcomm’s customers will probably use whatever chips come wired into their phone. Estonia’s are likely to stay Estonian unless a disruptive innovator comes along with a 10X improvement. 10X, not 10%. Think big Putin. If we weigh these against each other, it’s about even.

So… Estonia’s National valuation is about $103.4, based on $24bn in gross stuff (yuck).

Just kidding!. That’s preposterous of course. Qualcomm is investor backed, Like Tesla. Estonia is debt backed, like a country. You can’t compare those either, and you’d know this if you read all the cranky HN pedantry from before! Someone tried to compare Tesla to GM, the fool!

What we need is Estonia’s enterprise value…. Now, that’s apple’s to apple’s. Also, Russia, NATO and stuff.
Is there any chance companies could fairly easily adapt to this? For instance, grant 30% more equity per year than they otherwise would and buy back that 30% as it vests to cover taxes.

Edit: Now that I think about it those numbers don't work because it's an extra cost for the company to buy back your stock. So you end up with fewer shares with this scheme, but the company has also effectively paid off your "golden handcuffs". So in some cases it should even out in the end (you don't pay those taxes in a liquidity event) and in other cases it's actually better for the employee (you can afford to keep more of your equity if you leave before a liquidity event).
>> Practically speaking, if the United Kingdom on January 1st, 2019 declares its previous Article 50 declaration was unlawfully issued

I'm not quite sure how that would work, given article 50 was issued after an act of parliament.
But now that Google has fundamentally broken users' trust by locking people out of their own Google Docs through automated machine learning algorithm, can't you see why people are wanting to protect themselves from a corporate culture that allows those kinds of zealous and intrusive policies?

It was locking out journalists drafting stories!

How can you trust Google anymore? There's something rotten festering in Mountain View.
I think people have an issue with the fact that you can skip the lootbox grind if you pay money.

Else it would also be 'unfair' for a game to make you beat levels 1-99 before you can play that sweet level 100 boss battle. "I paid $40 for this game, I want to play level 100 without the grind" would be fairly weak criticism.

This issue is just a stone's throw from reeking of the hot air of entitlement. Mixed in with the anger that people can pay money to skip the grind are lamer abstract arguments like "a Star Wars game should let me play with the main characters on day one!"

Congrats on shipping! I really like this and would use it since we take road trips often with the family. Couple of suggestions: 1) Add the name of the funky place and a link to it in directions header. Instead of just saying "from Ocala Florida" say "from Ocala Florida to Tony's Artistic Taxidermy and Museum" and link to it. I know it's in the map, but scanning the list is easier than browsing the map 2) Add ability to remove/add places and customize the list. I think it's a great way to discover places along the way
Are they paying in cash, or in their cryptocurrency?
Physics has demoted mass
Of course you can compare a rate with a quantity. GP is saying that whole countries take more than a year to create one (proposed) Qualcomm’s worth of value.

Have you never compared your car’s gallon-per-mile rate of fuel consumption with its gas tank’s size in gallons?
Out of curiosity, do you remember what levels they suggested you be at? I've heard there are a lot of different opinions on this.

Some important factors on receiving Vitamin D from sun exposure are skin color, the amount of clothing you wear & time of day.

Light skin absorbs more than dark skin. Noon gives more Vitamin D than morning or evening. Sun screen & sun screen lotion limit the Vitamin D you get.

Being a fellow northerner, walking outside doesn't do much in the winter when 95% of my body is covered in clothing.

Science Vs did a great podcast on this - https://gimletmedia.com/episode/vitamins-supplements-worth/ (Vitamin D is their first supplement they discuss & the link provides a transcript for skimming)

My personal experience (with no medical background except the Chiropractor's wife who recommended it) finds that Vitamin D supplements (5,000 IU) seems to help prevent & shorten colds & flu-like bugs. I mostly take that dosage when feeling slightly ill or run down.
Disagree.
Ok. It is indeed great. I've switched to Firefox completely since 57. But it is not as fast as Chrome yet.

Exactly. It helps narrowing down things to do with less brain activity on it but sometimes in the downside it can increase anxiety and frustration since the feedback of not done anything is constantly reminded. but that works.

You can use multiple profiles with Firefox, the UX for doing so just isn't as fleshed out as Chromium.

Create a new profile by going to about:profiles, and thereafter when you start Firefox it should present you with an option to pick which profile to use.
Sounds like Mozilla is borrowing part of the Trump motto! That certainly makes them significantly less likable in my eyes.
I don't think they're trying to suggest using rust, just curious why Cloudflare chose a language with a GC for workloads that apparently do not play well with GC.

"We already used Go" is a totally valid reason. "It's rare (or as you say potentially never an issue) that we actually need to avoid GC" is another.
There is no .NET Standard "implementation", you may be confusing .NET Standard with .NET Framework, which is the legacy Windows-entangled implementation.

(Yes, there are also ECMA standards for the CLR/CLI, C# language, and a somewhat small subset of the BCL [Base Class Library]. .NET Standard subsumes those underlying standards and then specs out a much larger set of the BCL and even some libraries that aren't strictly BCL but may as well have been in the way they've become standards such as ADO.NET.)
> Bone-headed move by its people

By a minority I'd like to clarify. 51.8% voted for it, of a 72% turnout, of an electorate that is only around 69% of the population.

That works out at around 25% of the population voting for it.

Because some of their games are actually good. I hate their business practices, but I still want to play Battlefront 2.

And they ARE a monopoly. They own the rights to a lot of my favorite franchises. If I want a Star Wars game (which I definitely do), it's EA or nothing.
Stop Interrupting Me
I've been under various NDAs, and I don't hear anything about keeping things "need to know" within my own organization. This is clearly much more secretive.

Please point to a reference to the isle of jersey in Apple's public financials document. I want to know about evading corporate tax by rerouting profits to tax havens.

1) Most non multinational corporations produce both corporate and income tax revenues. Why shouldn't Apple?
2) Ditto
3) This is like apple writing "IOU" on a piece of paper. That money could be getting used to fund schools, to rebuild infrastructure and it has a time value. All of which Apple is capturing.

You seem to think that money which should be getting taxed by the corporate tax rate somehow "belongs" to the shareholders in some ethical (not legal) sense, and I think this is the root of our disagreement. Ethically, Apple is an American corporation and it was American taxpayers who allowed the company to flourish. Perhaps also some European countries played a role here. Therefore if they want to impose a corporate tax they should be able to, separate from the income and dividends tax.

Not OP, but I can't execute a directory tree. I always seem to need a runtime, and often additional libraries and a bunch of `$*PATH` munging so the compiler locates the _correct_ dependencies.
I would disagree again here. Significant numbers of their users use their apps only/majority of the time. Can't block ads on closed platforms!
I agree, it's a bad comparison.

What's more happening is that talent is being attracted to mid-stage startups, unicorns, and the big companies like Google and Amazon. Early-stage startups like "Tinder for people with green hair" don't employ enough people across the market for them to significantly impact it.

I don't think this is about government fighting against stock-paying companies for tech workers by fucking up RSUs. In reality it's probably just government incompetence. No need for strawmanning or conspiracy
Return to sender is all you're legally required to do. If you know returning to sender will go into the void so you're making a legitimate effort to track down the legitimate owner instead then I wouldn't say you're intentionally interfering with that person's mail delivery, quite the opposite, which is what is illegal. It's like when my neighbors mail ends up in my box and just drop it in their box instead of returning it.
Firefox's Webextensions APIs are much more expansive than Chrome's. They still have an active developer community so the ecosystem will recover quickly.
That isn’t what I said... rather that this is already a reversible process, and this is meant to make it look as though it is not, or make it irreversible.

Firefox does have some distinct features that are important to me. I want to open links from Gmail or Inbox without being logged in to my Google account. Firefox containers are perfect for that. I also like snoozing tabs and quick tab switching by typing % into the address bar.

Some of these things can be done in other browsers using third party extensions, but I am extremely reluctant when it comes to third party extensions for security reasons.

[Edit] Very important to me as well is built-in reader view.
GTD is bottom up. You have to collect everything you have already committed to and know your commitments and actions. Then you keep moving up the idea is to get to a place where your goals and life choices are driving all the decisions on what you commit to in the future.

If you implemented GTD you only captured and identified what you were already agreeing to do.

This is where the 50K foot view stuff comes in.

http://gettingthingsdone.com/2011/01/the-6-horizons-of-focus...

BTW i don't follow GTD strictly any more because it lacks a proper way to manage projects in my mind BUT it was designed around committing to the things you have to and the things that align with you.
Nice! Here's an interesting idea:

You could use a grayscale height map and apply textures based on relative or absolute height. Tallest point on the map? Must be a mountain. Cluster of points lower than the mean or median? Could be a lake or river.

Essentially, it would emulate real world feature distributions.

I hate that it saves it enough that I often perform 'dumb' googles in an incognito window just so it'll never suggest "how do I parallel park" again. But how is this unexpected behavior? It also saves every URL you visit - in your browser history. And those URLs encode the search terms. If you want it to not save what you do, then you use incognito mode.
Well, in general, I don't see Quantum as elevating the concerns of desktop over mobile. Moving to parallel implementations of functionality can help even more on mobile than on desktop, since Android phones have tended to embrace multicore faster than desktop has. (Apple phones are a different story, but Gecko obviously can't be relevant there, and even Apple is finally moving to high core counts in the past year.)

As for your prediction, I think you're sadly spot-on. There will always be enough whales to make it worthwhile to pander to them, and milking them will be essential for any company that cares more about making money than about making a good game.

> If you don't tax vesting, are you going to instead wait until the shares are sold to tax them? That would be very easy to abuse.

Why would it be easy to abuse? Surely you can just set the tax basis of those shares to 0?

How long is the Chrome database kept for? I use Chrome Canary and the standard Chrome, but only had a few hundred results in each, a lot less than I was expecting. I can't remember the last time I cleared my history either.

Cool graph though anyway!
The main reason I originally left Firefox (for Edge, mind you, I don't touch Google software anymore) was the single-process issues they fixed with electrolysis which came out in Firefox 48.

Bloated websites (usually Google ones) would actually lock up the entire Firefox UI, and Windows would recognize the browser application as "Not responding" until the page finished loading. In the case of a super bloated site like the old Google+, that could be as much as twelve seconds non-responsive while all the cruft loaded up.

I am back on Firefox release channel now, and pretty satisfied with current performance, but looking forward to Quantum.
It's a good book and one of my favorites, but I prefer "The Four Pillars of Investing" by William Bernstein. [1]

Even the recommendations there are more complicated than I prefer. Vanguard has some wrapper funds (Life Strategy, Target Retirement) you can pick from that mean even more simplicity and less room for error. Tax efficiency is the only reason I would get more involved.

The problem is that it's explicitly not real income for those working at companies which aren't publicly traded. For publicly traded companies, you typically sell-to-cover at vesting time, so you're already doing this sort of thing usually.

For private companies, that's not an option, so you would have to pay tax at vesting time for options you could quite possibly never have an opportunity to sell.

I've been using firefox since forever too. (Actually, since Mozilla 1.0 (aka Nutscrape) in 1993 or thereabouts.) I'm at that point where I'm about to dump it again, as I have periodically in the past.

They keep making it more and more like Chrome. If I wanted to use Chrome, I would. It's gotten to bloat maximum.

It's slow as hell. It's less flexible and less easy to personalize. They have broken some of my favorite add-ons.

This piece is pure propaganda.
So it's nonsensical? I can understand that. But how do we go from nonsensical to harmful?
I think that prediction is a coin toss at this time. There's a chance it would play out as you say, but I think there's also a chance that as these games become more predatory, a new category of gambling rating will be defined. Sure the payout isn't cash, but it's still throwing money at a chance of gaining something of value.
As I said, I don't really understand how it's all supposed to fit together, but what I've found in practice is that completely random and innocuous methods are missing from the System frameworks depending on which "standard" you target in Visual Studio.

Firefox has supported multiple profiles for ages. Just run it with -P. It allows you to have separate history, extensions, bookmarks, everything.

The new panel containers are also handy. They allow you to have shared history and bookmarks but separate cookies and sessions. You can be logged into the same site on different accounts in two tabs in the same window.

I suppose so. It's difficult to see this stuff on any comparison website, and most airlines try to sell themselves on comfort. So you end up relying on experience or word of mouth.

I'm not sure that is better. Extra provisions on capital might be adding more capital to the mix, which increase wages all around. It might be shooting yourself in the foot.

But hiding the information is a way for investors to have more leverage over employees. That is an undoubtedly unfair surplus to them.

Its not the only thing I'd change. I would do away with the restriccions of investing in startups as well. That would allow employees to buy stock whenever they want to (and the company is willing to sell them for) without this obscure negotiation. The minimum limits on investing in startups is a way to give higher returns to investors, while harming founders and employees.
