I'm litearally rolling on the floor laughing at this naivete. Shit, I grew up in the woods where the semi-auto Remington 742 woodsmaster or the 1100 shotgun wasn't any different than the Ace hardware hoe or the Rotenone or Sevin bug dust; we used both to keep the pests out of the garden that fed us.

I've bought one firearm, out of a dozen, from a licensed store. Almost all are private, individual to individual sales or inherited.

I think we should all expect a full accounting from Mozilla on their actions and what data and information was acquired by them or a 3rd party as a result of the 'study' as well as what steps they will take to prevent this from happening again (now that they have a proof of concept (MVP?) surely another 3rd party can plant their own easter eggs in the future.
London is the opposite: red lights are merely advisory for pedestrians. People just cross the streets. That has trained drivers to be very attentive.

Add in that usual London traffic moves at about bicycle speed, and the central part of town is a very human friendly place.
What’s there to think about? Scientists are not credulous people and that’s a very good thing. There are plenty of research projects dedicated to searching for other forms of intelligent life and none of them have yielded any evidence.

This is unexplained phenomena which could be the result of diminished mental acuity or other unexplained physical events. I’m not sure how these theories should be made anymore legitimate without more evidence?
> Biased poll with leading questions. Ask them if they think the FCC should outlaw unlimited video streaming on T-Mobile Binge On. The 80% evaporates immediately.

Since "Binge On" does not violate the FCC's 2015 net neutrality rules, why would that question be relevant when polling people about whether or not to repeal those rules?

I think there are plenty of people who can shoulder this blame, the city planners that put two schools on what is basically a highway come to mind.

Look, the schools are already there, no sense tearing them down now and traffic calming is a fine solution but it shouldn't have been like this in the first place. There are plenty of areas marked as too dangerous for pedestrians when it comes to zoning decisions and this should have been one of them.
If you assume that this alien race can generate impossible amounts of energy, isn't it also reasonable to assume that they use a propulsion technology outside of our current level of understanding? Even if they use unfathomable amounts of energy, it could be completely outside of our ability to detect it.

Plenty of wildlife biologists do hide from their subjects when they know their presence will disturb the subjects. Why wouldn't an alien race do the same when observing humans?

Hi. I'm AppleCrazy, the author of this post. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
Many techies were once also the geeks, the nerds, the rejects, the misfits, the outcasts, the beaten and the downtrodden.

This creates the perfect foundation for personalities with something to prove and little to no empathy to stop them from doing it.
The non-reddit version of this story:

A redditor manages a computer lab that is heavily secured for specific tests which require locked-down computers. They decided on Firefox for the browser, and the Mr.Robot plugin stunt invalidated a test series because it was an unofficial plugin.

They installed chromium as a workaround. Their CIO was not happy.
I can't find the article I read that explained this, but apparently this was done without any financial compensation to Mozilla.
I wanted to hate this as being a gimmick but instead love it so much.
Sloat Ave in San Francisco installed new cross-walk lights after a student was killed.

However, the lights themselves are ridiculous and will probably get someone killed as well. I've never seen something like this before. Normally, crosswalk lights are yellow, and they flash yellow when someone is crossing the road. Other times I've seen flashing lights on the crosswalk itself to show that someone is crossing. These are great.

The ones installed on Sloat are flashing red lights, but they don't look like a traffic signal. I don't know why they chose this, but it's very confusing and I don't know what a flashing red light means in a non-traffic light context. It's stupid and overengineered, and they should have stuck with something much more conventional, like flashing yellow lights.
Actually the guns used in the 2015 Paris attacks were acquired from neighboring countries thanks to the border-control-free EU.

Just occurred to me: if Docker is a container software and not a vitalization software, how does it run Linux executables on an OSX host?
Perhaps on a technical/analytical level there is a similarity, but i think it is a false equivocation in this context. Its similar in the sense that a right to bear arms implies civilian access to tanks and nuclear weapons.

In reality, law and society are complex creatures. I'd observe that any knowledgeable person observes encryption is commonly and widely used for a variety of purposes, and has many people who will push back against its denial of use.

In terms of the body armour law, there would presumably be the empirical facts that:

1.) There's just not actually a demand for it amongst the society in the aussie context at least.

2.) The odds of being shot or stabbed by someone other than a close relative is virtually nil in Australia if you're not partaking in a criminal enterprise. And so far as long as those criminal enterprises don't spill over into public related injuries and violence, people's level of fear regarding guns/stabbings is pretty low.

3.) This must be taken in the context of an everyday culture that has a rate of ~1 in 100,000 rate of homicide (non-uniformly distributed admitedly) compared to the united states rate of ~4 or 5. The culture is relatively uniform, and united states-esque laws and policies regarding weapons and obsessions with are generally viewed as a mixture of "crazy", "a warning of what we could become", and just a generally undesirable state of affairs.

There is a debate regarding encryption. Whereas debate around things like increased access to weapons or body armour is "effectively zero" in the context of Australian society (keeping in mind I don't have the time/space to go into the historic details or rural hunter/fisher/farmer politics).

I'm going to assume that canadians in many ways view american laws/society in a similar vein to us in this context: our friendly but crazy relatives. (albeit with them sharing a physical border).

I'm also guessing (I haven't looked it up) that they have a far lower homicide rate, and would suggest, like Australians, that they believe de-escalation and keeping militarized equipment out of the hands of civilians primarily provides a greater civil protection against shootings/stabbings than ownership of body armour would.

Now, to not be objective for a second, i think real life is more complex, but empirically, given the relative differences in homicide rates, i'd say the American case at least appears to be starting the argument on the backfoot :)

When I want to read an article in a newspaper, I don't need a "robust" user interface, I need the text and (sometimes) the pictures. Links to other relevant content are a bonus. This could be done with the very first web browser.

Yet for some reason (hint: money) newspaper websites load megabytes worth of scripts to display kilobytes of text.
>A kid is dead, but really, its noones fault?

You don't don't seem to be reading what the OP is writing. They are clearly laying the blame at the feet of the people who decided to build 2 schools on opposite sides of a dangerous street. Where are you getting "it's no ones fault"
Agreed, was not implying that being a woman makes one immune to criticism. I do think there's a certain level of confusion at this point about who is considered credible or allowed to speak about other groups, and sometimes this policing ends up begging the question itself.

Like take the charge of victim blaming -- on the one hand, we can all probably agree that victims deserve sympathy and a platform to air their grievances as well as our thoughtful consideration.

Yet it seems that of we as a society offer unconditional trust to anyone who claims to have been a victim, this will eventually encourage all sorts of mischief. Not every person who 'seems' like a victim is in fact one, and not everyone who has been victimized can or will lay public claim to that status.

In the limit, this confusion about who is allowed to say what about whom can actually lead to the behavior you referenced above -- if men have internalized the idea that men are only allowed to comment or judge men, but not other groups, then the only possible response is for men to speak about their own group interests.

Scandals? Scandals are hardly mentioned in the article. This is about public perception of the tech - specifically startup - industry.
Anarchists don't think that they will all just be able to do anything they want. They believe that the way people can reach a compromise with each other, given the constraints you mention, could be very different. They want it to happen on a horizontal and decentralised level, without the institutional hierarchies of the power structures we are forced to obey now.

> being oblivious isn't a defense in any other aspect of the law

I am not an expert in US law, but doesn't intent to commit a crime matters ?

Which is why there is a difference between murdering someone and taking actions that ultimately lead to someone death ?

In France (civil system, I know), we for example have "murder" and "violence that lead to death without intent to cause it" (and "involuntary homicide", etc)
Pedestrian bridges, or tunnels which would probably be more appropriate here, are perfectly accessible to the handicapped. They even go so far as to encourage walking because its now easier to cross the road.

We have such a tunnel in my hometown for the local elementary school and it works pretty okay.

I disagree. The nerds and the geeks are not rejects, misfits or outcasts. They choose to live in distance from the "popular" folks and the crowd around them because they don't understand them and don't find any enjoyment or meaning in that.

Wow, clicked on the Lisa McIntire Tweet linked in the article[0], and that thread is gross. Sure, the company sounds like a terrible idea, and making fun of the concept is fine, but half the replies there are assuming and ridiculing the founders’ names and personalities based on their appearance.

Large, entrenched, heavily-funded tech firms were never the good guys.

It was the underfunded, plucky upstarts that were generally the good guys.

That hasn't changed.

What has changed is that what little accountability we ever had against those large tech firms has completely collapsed. Even the mere thought of an AT&T style breakup would be laughable nowadays.
“Docker Engine” doesn’t but “Docker for Windows” provides several tools including a wrapper around Hyper-V. I’m sure “Docker for Mac” does something similar.

TBH - It makes no economic sense for startups to get $$$$ address in downtown SF than to massage the ego of the founders. This obsession to locate in downtown SF is costing both the company and employees tremendously.

If they really want to be located in the city have an ego office in downtown and open satellite offices in the east bay or south bay. Makes for happy employees and cheaper costs.
Friend of mine hada huge problem with this recently

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-24/amazon-me...
To quote from Joel [1]:

Way back in September 1983, I started my first real job, working at Oranim, a big bread factory in Israel that made something like 100,000 loaves of bread every night in six giant ovens the size of aircraft carriers.

The first time I walked into the bakery I couldn’t believe what a mess it was. The sides of the ovens were yellowing, machines were rusting, there was grease everywhere.

“Is it always this messy?” I asked.

“What? What are you talking about?” the manager said. “We just finished cleaning. This is the cleanest it’s been in weeks.”

Oh boy.

It took me a couple of months of cleaning the bakery every morning before I realized what they meant. In the bakery, clean meant no dough on the machines. Clean meant no fermenting dough in the trash. Clean meant no dough on the floors.

Clean did not mean the paint on the ovens was nice and white. Painting the ovens was something you did every decade, not every day. Clean did not mean no grease. In fact there were a lot of machines that needed to be greased or oiled regularly and a thin layer of clean oil was usually a sign of a machine that had just been cleaned.

This is what a dough rounder looks like.The whole concept of clean in the bakery was something you had to learn. To an outsider, it was impossible to walk in and judge whether the place was clean or not. An outsider would never think of looking at the inside surfaces of the dough rounder (a machine that rolls square blocks of dough into balls, shown in the picture at right) to see if they had been scraped clean. An outsider would obsess over the fact that the old oven had discolored panels, because those panels were huge. But a baker couldn’t care less whether the paint on the outside of their oven was starting to turn a little yellow. The bread still tasted just as good.

Tests were re-validated after some review by the test provider. While I can't in any way condone how Mozilla violated user trust when they side-loaded that extension, perhaps the test provider should specify Firefox Extended Support Releases (ESR) if they're going to require specific fixed setups like that (with all auto-updates disabled). A signed golden master provided by the test service would also go a long way in preventing problems like this, or at least providing a means of redress for already thinly stretched university IT departments.

Finally, I'm surprised they haven't blocked any and all network access, except for registered testing servers, via netfilter. So, there's that.

Agree with this, but the problem is user demand in competitive markets.

> I regard anything that runs javascript as inherently malicious, out to violate my privacy and drain my battery.

Tech people like those on HN may understand the centralizing corporate control that's embedded in the current structure of the internet.

Average users a) have zero technical understanding b) mainly use JS-heavy, DRM/surveillance-loaded "big tech" websites c) lack the skills, awareness, and desire to change anything for increased user freedom. There's more reward for positive features than lack of negatives.

Unless a compelling case can be made to the minimally-competent user who sees only speed, usability, and immediate real-world social use (I can watch DRM movies, play DRM music, use FB / YT / Google Apps / other "big tech"), any shift seems unlikely.

The problem is less technical than social. DRM / surveillance tech crapware is now a social norm, and there's rarely a good time to have a discussion. Most non-technical people just don't know or care.
> Start with a serious federal licensing and registration system.

Good luck getting that kind of law passed anywhere outside of NY/CA. Registration = Confiscation is a strongly held belief. See how many New Yorkers registered their AR-15 when the NY SAFE Act was passed in the middle of the night.

> Close the gun show loophole.

There is no loophole. Federally-licensed gun dealers must run background checks no matter where they sell their wares. Private transfers do not require background checks.

> After 30 or 40 years of incremental progress

What you call "progress," I call a city-slicker's fantasy paradise. I grew up in a nanny state (NY) and moved south in my mid-30s. It's refreshing to live in a place where guns are seen as tools and not as evil monsters that charge out of their locked cases and mow down innocent children all on their own without a human pulling the trigger.

The sitting president (regardless of what you or I think of him) was elected on a base that believes in a different idea of progress. I voted for him stricktly because I believed he'd be largely ineffective and that he wouldn't shit all over my gun rights.

Can you provide more information on what is being discussed and what conclusions are being reached? From an outsider, it seems pretty cut-and-dry that this was a mistake and it should never happen again. If that premise is accepted, there really isn't much room for discussion.
