It’s a fine line though. A little pressure helps focus, but too much is imho extremely detrimental.

I did two startups earning almost nothing and at first I was super focused and driven but as time went by, worrying about paying rent or being able to afford the dentist (or whatever) had a drastic negative effect on my mental health, work quality and quantity and over time increased disagreements with cofounders (when you’re super stressed for long periods of time, it gets harder to work through things). Ultimately this led to the demise of both companies.

Pressure is a very useful tool in moderation. It helps you focus on what’s important and encourages clever solutions and innovations. But too much (especially worries about your personal survival like rent) I believe drastically reduces your chances of success.
"at the moment"? No pun intended?
I see what you mean by that, and it's not an unreasonable position, that said, it's really hard to make the assertion that it's a 'share' in the economy.

Why? Because A) we don't know there will be a fixed amount of currency - Kik owns 90% of the Kin, they could dump on the market at any time. And B) There's no reason that people are going to be forced to use a specific currency in most places. If there are people playing speculative games with a currency, well, people will just use another one.

But it's fair to say that it's possible to 'gain' from an economy by buying into the currency as long as it meets certain conditions.

Most people working on reproducible builds would probably suggest using digital signatures for provenance purposes (and never using any binaries that didn't come with a digital signature). However, present-day digital signatures don't necessarily include some of the metadata you might want (such as which person and/or machine was responsible for the compilation, not just which organization or entity).

There are tools that can remove the metadata after the fact, but they aren't necessarily standardized enough to allow for a widely-understood comparable hash value. For example,

> My main concern with this is the fact that if Secure Boot is forced (UEFI Class 3/+) users might not be able to change or manage trusted keys. It is quite sad that every few years we have to yet again have this conversation or defend the right to freely install software on machines that we bought or own.

Most of this pretty much comes from the copyright industry and DRM push. After all, if you can freely install kernel drivers and software, they can't do their DRM stuff.
That comes across as sour grapes reasoning, have you actually spent any time working for one of them? If so please forgive my assumption, but your points depend on a couple of huge assumptions.

Why are you convinced there are no roles as these companies for people who want to make a difference, or that everyone feels like a cog in a machine?

These companies are not my cup of tea at the moment, but I know your assumptions are wrong for a fact. Proof by counterexample only requires one data point, and I've been there and seen people who share your ethos and make that kind of money.

This is not to say you can't find any number of people there that feel their jobs are thankless, insignificant, life force draining prospects. But we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people, and there are a variety of experiences people have.

I can imagine a more productive interpretation of your post, which may or not actually match your opinion, that goes like this:

While I can understand that the switch to the new system was necessary, I hope they improve the new extension functionality a bit further.

One negative thing that I noticed that extensions don't seem to be able to interact with the tabs before those have largely (or completely?) loaded - for instance I can't use mouse gestures in a tab that's currently loading or interact with the vimperator replacement (Vim Vixen). Is that inherent to the new system with the extension system having lower priority than the page rendering or is it just those specific extensions I use?

Another thing that would be nice to fix is extensions (at least those that I have tested) seemingly not working in Firefox-internal pages like about:addons.
When it comes to anything IC my rule of thumb is: we'll never know the truth. It's an "industry" that trades in misinformation, mis-misinformation and so on.

> Assuming all vendors provide similar capabilities in terms of costs, features, support, API response times, load testing results and the like

This is a terrible assumption. This is one of the things that differentiates vendors. No two vendors are the same, especially things like staging environments, capacity limits, etc.

But other things are:

1) Do they have a real-time status page?

2) How many outages have they had in the last year, and how severe were they?

3) Where is their support based? And is it 24x7? What if you have an issue at 2am on Saturday morning, do they have support?

4) How attentive are they to fixing bugs?

How do you figure? Identification isn't only based on your face.

From the article:

"Employees have tried to fool the technology. One day, three enterprising Amazonians donned bright yellow Pikachu costumes and cruised around grabbing sandwiches, drinks and snacks. The algorithms nailed it, according to a person familiar with the situation, correctly identifying the employees and charging their Amazon accounts, even though they were obscured behind yellow polyester.

It links to an account on your phone. You're under full surveillance while in the store.

A tip if you do upgrade, especially from an older macOS and you're using Apple's Mail app: back up your filters. I procrastinated and ended up upgrading from Yosemite (presumably a less well thought out upgrade for obvious reasons), and Mail helpfully deleted all of my filters. Fun times.
The physical silicon is almost worthless. What's valuable is how you can use it; and there too I suspect "you don't own it" is hyperbole - but perhaps not entirely, given all IP involved. What's certainly not hyperbole is that you are not in control and that this lack of control can be a feature to others (e.g. DRM). Whether you legally would be allowed to mod your chip to "unlock" it is moot if you simply don't have that ability.
Although Stockfish beat Booot, it then tied against Komodo, giving

Komodo 17.5
Houdini 17
Stockfish 16.5

It's quite bad for Stockfish now because each of these three top engines has 1 remaining remaining match it's pretty likely to win (against Ginkgo, Booot, and Fire, respectively), which if it happens wouldn't change the relative ranking of the top three at all (they would be at 18.5, 18, and 17.5). Also, Stockfish has a match against Houdini, while Houdini and Komodo have a match against each other.

Stockfish can still in principle reach the final this way if Houdini and Komodo have a draw, because that would give

Komodo 19.5
Stockfish 18.5
Houdini 18.0

assuming all three engines also win their respective remaining matches against non-top-3 engines, and Stockfish defeats Houdini.

Very tough for Stockfish at the moment!

So they've spent an extra year with people who fit the demographics of an Amazon employee trying to trick their systems. That should protect them from people who fit the demographics of an Amazon employee.

There still seem to be many of the issues people brought up a year ago, such as how this depends on the presence of a phone with the appropriate app installed, or what happens with groups of people in which only one person has the app (such as with kids).

More to the point, I can see how this would be better for Amazon, but I'm not sure it's better for most shoppers. Amazon gets to charge people who graze on produce while in the store, and kids who consume snacks in the store, and can presumably produce video evidence when customers throw a fit. But they can also overcharge me for things and how am I supposed to know that? Check the app in the parking lot to make sure I have everything it charged me for? What recourse do I have if not? What if something wasn't charged as marked on the shelf? I've already paid at that point. I've gone through this enough times with stores high-end and low-end to know it's inevitable for Amazon.

The leverage is all Amazon's, and the convenience doesn't offset that for me. I know I'm not alone, but maybe there aren't enough like me to dent their ambitions.

> If you widen the criteria to the entire fleet

Might as well desperately throw HMS Victory into that mix of random things and really get the average age up! But none of this is relevant to the launch dates of submarines in the UK fleet, which is what was claimed.

I get the underlying point about the age of naval platforms, yeah. I was just correcting the incorrect and misleading claim about the age of the UK's submarines, because a clearly incorrect claim doesn't add anything useful to the discussion.
> When you just want line number info from DWARF -- all the existing tools are extremely slow.

Sure, but so are sourcemaps. If that is all the info you need then you can build tables for that which is as mentioned precisely what we do. However DWARF is more than that and DWARF is a really good standard for debug information data. You can trivially build cache files for the subset of info you need out of them.

If you want to use the p3 instances with Tesla V100's, you'll need to use CUDA9 instead of CUDA8, and unfortunately none of Amazon's AMI's have the latest PyTorch that support CUDA9. The easiest way to use them is get one of the Conda Deep Learning AMI's and then follow the latest PyTorch install instructions, which seems to work pretty seamlessly.

To drive the point home, a Swiss company is working on a mining truck that will be a net generator of electricity - it goes up the mountain empty, but when it goes down it is full of heavy ore, and regenerative breaking charges the batteries more than was used to climb the mountain. The extra 10kWh can then be fed back into the grid.

These distros also either do not enforce signing kernel modules, thus making the Secure Boot moot (Ubuntu), or enforcing valid signature on the modules, but making it easy to enroll your own Machine Owner Key (Fedora), so your custom-built kernel modules for VirtualBox, Nvidia, ZFS or whatever else you need, will still work.
On one hand, I agree with this sentiment, you should be free to do your own work on your own property.

On the other hand... my landlord in college. He did a lot of work on his house himself, and did it really badly. One example: he installed a cheap indoor light fixture outside where rain would get into it. It also happened to be on the same circuit as our refrigerator. So, sometimes when it rained, the circuit with our refrigerator on it would trip its circuit breaker.

You might be perfectly competent to do your own work on your house. The problem is, everyone that works on their own house thinks they are competent, and many of them are not.

I feel like this is one of those issues that is doomed to oscillate. A few generations will exist with these rules complaining of not being allowed to work on their own houses, and maybe these rules will change. Some injuries/deaths/just plain tiring of janky poorly done house modifications by prior owners will see a return of these rules. Repeat...
> However, at the macro level the arc of history doesn't seem to bend in your favor.

It doesn't get more macro than what happened to Khodorkovsky, who got his company (Russia's biggest at the time) stolen from him once Putin started consolidating his power (in the early 2000s). That's like the Democrats confiscating the Koch brothers' conglomerate business and putting them in prison, or like the Republicans doing the same thing to some big Hollywood media mogul. It's not going to happen.

In a sandbox even I, as the owner of the computer, can't let them out of. That's not cool.

> From a developer standpoint, they are easier to deal with, being JavaScript, and since Chrome and Edge support similar APIs, developers will no longer need multiple codebases to support their extensions on multiple browsers.

In the sense that it's no longer possible to do the things one could do with a Firefox codebase.

I agree with most of your points but a couple of hundred dollars a month sounds like a ton of packages. I think I have hulu live with no ads, HBO, and Netflix for well under a hundred. You could divide the $99 bucks I spent on Amazon Prime by 10 and add that too if you wanted although I can't tell you the last time I used that service. It's still a bunch of money though.

The best deal here in NYC is a 50 dollar (or cheaper but the best ones are about 50 I believe) antenna which picks up maybe fifty or sixty channels in a variety of languages (which I think is neat although don't particularly use). That's a one time cost and you get Fox, CBS, ABC, etc, etc.

Seems like trying to be on the cutting edge would be a total waste, I don't have a 4K TV or some super huge screen and that's fine by me.
Ya in the last company I founded I would go without paychecks to let my co-founder pay himself when we were running out of money/struggling to collect payment. It's a lot more about the needs of the people to be able to get through the initial phases than it is about 'equality and fairness'

I really disagree with the 'security risk' angle: it's my browser, and I've chosen to install the extension. That extension executes with my authority. Crippling what extensions can do because one doesn't trust me to run software on my machine is just crazy.
