:[ I'm afraid this might be a "too-little-too-late" attempt to stave-off the downfall of net-neutrality.

Net-Neutrality means that the finance of the internet is driven by site-owners receiving funds from advertisers (or from subscriptions...but that seems comparatively negligible)

Getting rid of net-neutrality will mean ISPs (despite their common-carrier designation) will control this whole model^...meaning they will control the internet.

The largest argument in support of repealing net-neutrality involves taking power away from advertisers...so does this Mozilla policy.

I think you mistaken Discourse with Discord.
Discourse is open source forum engine, the second is Slack-like but faster, with rich permissions system.
Bank of America and Bitcoin both have market caps of ~$290 billion. Bank of America usually sees huge trading volume for a stock and it traded about $1.8 billion of volume today. BTC/USD alone has done $3 billion today.

I realize it's not a perfect comparison, but I think it highlights the fact that large sales aren't going to just decimate bitcoin's value.
I'm REALLY excited that Thunderbird has more people and releases. I'm hoping that calendar & native Exchange support will be eventually added.
I actually just ran across this article talking about the romanticization of hunter gatherer cultures.

The tl;dr; seems to be that there was one paper 50 years ago that everyone cites around how great it is to be a !Kung. But that the study didn't take into account some of the downsides, and it also happened to be a particularly fruitful year for the tribe.

(BTW, an extra shout out to http://marginalrevolution.com which is where I found the link to the article. I mention it here, because it seems like a site that a large cross section of HN would enjoy on a regular basis, as it's a very thoughtful Econ blog.)
> Trouble is the amount of popular websites that simply don't care how long the page takes to load...

They absolutely do care, though. The longer a page takes to load, the less time users will spend on the site, and the more likely users will give up and close the window.
I have no idea, I mostly use the calendar for receiving invites to meetings. Try it and let me know?

Interesting. I love the culture there. Great events and really nice people. It's too bad that you had a bad experience in a rural area outside of the suburbs and because of that you believe it reflects poorly on the city.
At the same time, having the victim's name plastered all over everywhere can't be good for them. Despite all the progress that's been made, we still live in a time where most victims would be blacklisted from the industry, despite nothing being their fault.
Well it looks to me like an insect on the window/camera lens, which then turns.

Those maps are, of course, a little deceptive because of the population density in urban areas. What looks like a little bit of blue land accounts for over half the population.
Wait, I'm confused... not the OP but if this guy is coding for this business (the one he doesn't have an H1B for), I thought it didn't matter if he was getting paid or not. This is "productive work" right? As in, it has value so is problematic. Or do I misunderstand the rules?
That sounds like an absurdly flawed currency if that's the case.

Target stores have no cell phone coverage!!??
is it just me or has anyone else noticed this? Target stores dont provide coverage and force you to use their WiFi.
. I have been to 3 target stores in my area (Sunnyvale, Fremont Hub, PAcific Commons, Fremont). I always get no coverage inside which forces me to use their Wifi. Neighboring stores have no issues. Is Target forcing us to use their WiFi and tracking our activity for their data analytics!!. Worse and something to think of is how do I call 911 or emergency numbers if I need to.
Is anyone else seeing this?
I had a math teacher in middle school that put it pretty well: if you have two candidates that are equally qualified, but one knows calculus and the other doesn’t, you may as well go with the one that knows calculus.

From a hiring perspective, it cuts down the size of your candidate pool. Interviewing is expensive, so it’s better to choose from 5 people instead of 30.

From a personal perspective, I don’t want to work with you if you don’t know how to use a hashmap. There’s a difference between filtering duplicates efficiently and validating a binary tree, so it does it some injustice to lump it all together as irrelevant algorithms testing.
I don’t know about the smoking thing but Hitler was famously a vegetarian. Many environmentalists argue that if we eliminated meat production the planet would be better off.
I was playing around with automated trading algorithms this summer on GDAX. With a bankroll of only $2.5k USD I was routinely contributing $500k+ worth of trading volume each day (that's only 100 r/t trades with $2.5k).

Surely there's a lot more sophisticated high-volume trading algorithms taking place than what I did.

Take a look at GDAX's full book [1] -- Even going all the way down to a BTC price of $8600 (-50% current prices), there's only outstanding buy orders to consume 5169 BTC if someone entered a market sell order. Obviously that would trigger a lot of automated trades that don't live on the book but I think the assumption that "trading volume" == "liquidity" is very dangerous.

A Bitcoin fortune on paper. It remains to be see if anyone will come out of this with real money.

Does anyone know why gerrymandering only includes Democrat and Republican parties? Surely some states like New Mexico who, at the time, had a third party Governor must have had districts that voted in majority for third party candidates.
Coinbase is not a sketchy exchange by any means, and while I'm cautious about Bitfinex their volume is quite believable given they are the default choice for non US persons.

That's also why I quoted USD, if you include crypto-crypto volume and some of the zero fee exchanges it definitely becomes nonsense.

That is true, and this should really factor in the decline of gold in the future, but this does not help Bitcoin against it's e-coins rivals.

And isn't Bitcoin hackable in a near-ish future with quantum computing?
Very happy to see a major tech company that puts their money (and policy) where their mouth is, on such an important issue — even when it goes against the “legally safest” status quo that companies tend to take.

Other tech companies and tech culture in general should take note, and follow suit if they actually care about this issue. Executives and HR statements are nice to hear I suppose, but even better is actual change.

To the little people like us, take note from a different perspective: Watch for which companies are all talk and no action. Take action through which you choose to work for. If you don’t have a choice, do your best within a company to promote positive cultural change.
I'm from Ohio and moved SF almost exactly 7 years ago. 8 plus years ago I felt like a complete outsider the the business world. I'd been using linux since redhat since version 2, taught myself perl, php and later rails and javascript. I'd go to small business association "meetups" and events and talk to people about a website I built that would allow non-developers to build customized open source software packages like wordpress/oscommerce/phpbb and have it auto-installed and hosted on a custom domain using ec2.

Even the successful tech investor there, who seemed more lucky than anything, didn't have a clue what I was talking about or why anyone might want to do that. I also went to the local small business offices seeking help and they didn't get it either. If you weren't an automotive, manufacturing or physical product company, they didn't take you seriously, didn't know what you were talking about and didn't see value in anything computer or web related.

I also didn't really know anyone remotely interested in the web or linux except one guy. If I had to sum it up I'd say that they're generally quite a few years behind in everything from technology to civil rights. Finding good employees will be hard but possible. Finding forward thinkers is going to be exceedingly difficult. When I lost my job working on microsoft products at an automotive logistics company, I gave up on Ohio and moved to SF. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Since I moved it's been horrifyingly clear that Ohio is in a downward spiral. I joke that I'd sleep on the ground in SF before I'd go back to Ohio but I'm not entirely sure it's a joke.

I think something that consistently deflates is already an absurdly flawed currency. It's not exactly an exchange medium if it's better to hold on to it than do something meaningful with it.
> (or wants to make a buzz out of nothing special)

It's important to note it is something special. The battery works, and it works better than the existing solutions.

This is very important and big news in Australia, because the coal lobby is so strong and powerful they have been telling the public for a year now the Tesla battery will not work and is a waste of money. Obviously some people such as yourself understand how the thing works, though I would bet a massive percentage of "people on the street" have no idea, and only understand what the coal lobby is telling them.

It's important to take every opportunity to educate the public about the real facts, and this event is a fact. The sooner the public learn the truth, the better.
Isn't it anti-net-neutrality? Is it ok to build it into a major browser? I actually block all the tracking, malware, ads, social networks, fraud, gambling, porn (except a couple of porn sites I like :-)) etc domains I could find information about but this is my personal conscious choice, I have manually installed extensions for this and built the lists. Shouldn't other people do the same themselves too if they choose to or leave everything as is if they don't actually feel they need to change anything?
This is ridiculous. You buy hardware that is clearly not as good, and call it a win? So your point is that you can but hardware not as powerful for less? Does anyone not know that.

At least compare like with like, and you will have to wait until you understand what the mac has to do that.

Why post an article so wrong? Why waste everyone's time? Just to be the first?

California Labor Code, Division 3, Chapter 2, Section 2870[0] states;

(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which
provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to
assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his
or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the
employee developed entirely on his or her own time
without using the employer’s equipment, supplies,
facilities, or trade secret information except for
those inventions that either:

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to
practice of the invention to the employer’s business,
or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
development of the employer; or

(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for
the employer.

(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement
purports to require an employee to assign an invention
otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned
under subdivision (a), the provision is against the
public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

Because single mothers exist, so supporting a family on one income is needed to ensure a minimal amount of suffering happens to children who didn't ask to be poor, and have no way of opting out of poverty.

that jibes very much with the sort of stuff I read by Victor Davis Hanson on the two states of California, the coastal vs inland. I think he says something to the effect of Coastal California is Massachusettes, while inland California is Alabama or some other state analogy of the like. It's pretty intriguing watching his lectures online and reading his pieces. He has a very deep take on the rural vs city perspective having grew up in rural central valley California on his multigeneration family farm and coming up to do academic work at Stanford and hanging out at cafes and the like on University Ave and other Palo Alto experiences.

I'm not sure what article you read, but this change in Firefox is simply a change in the timing of requests to certain domains that are known to be for tracking/analytics in an attempt to improve the load time of websites.

If anything this move is anti-Net Neutrality since it's prioritizing non-tracking domains over tracking domains as opposed to treating all domains equally.

Google is the farthest thing from a monopoly.

Yahoo, Bing, Ask, AOL, duckduckgo, etc. Google has plenty of competitors. Simply being better than the competition does not make a company a monopoly.

If you're trying to claim that Google has monopolized advertising, you're even more wrong. TV, print, radio, billboards and a dozen more advertising mediums all compete with Google/Facebook.
It may be beneficial to each party but it sure as hell isn't what I want from my society.

A large portion of these events have come from men with money and power. Letting them pay their way out of this just means they get to go on perpetrating the same crime on other people. That's not an acceptable outcome for sexual harassment.

> All redirect URI's used by an app need to be listed in the Valid OAuth redirect URIs list in the app's Login Settings in order to be used in our OAuth flow. However, there have been two exceptions to this rule. The first exception is that apps with an empty list of Valid OAuth redirect URIs were grandfathered into being allowed to receive tokens on any endpoint on their domain. The second exception is that redirect URIs are allowed to "prefix match", meaning any URI that is prefixed by a URI on the list of Valid Oauth URIs would be valid.

For us, the base URI for the FB Oauth redirect flow is always the same, but the querystring params include some special information (namely, a key value pair that tells us where to redirect the user after the successful FB login).

Now I guess we'll have to change our approach.

Not sure why querystring params aren't OK.
This has always been the fundamental problem with building anything on a closed platform. This outcome was predictable, with or without Apple's machinations.

But loss of internet history has happened again and again and will continue to do so for time immemorial. We lost Webshots. We lost Geocities. Timecube is gone. All of my old Yahoo accounts, groups, friends and associated content have either been lost to data breaches or outright reassigned. Photobucket is a shell of what it once was, what with their blocking hotlinks and purging old data. Anything you created in Second Life will only last as long as the parent company decides it's worth supporting their subpar VRML engine for the benefit of its dwindling community of sexual deviants. As the internet becomes more and more centralized on a handful of platforms that happily ingest our data but refuse to efficiently excrete it for archival, bringing it with them to the grave, and that will themselves one day be replaced with something more hip, all your precious memories, photos and top-tier memes will be lost to time like tears in rain.

It's nobody's fault. It's the natural order of things. Old technologies and platforms die, and new ones take their place. Some data loss happens in the transition. The internet circa 2000 might have sentimental value to you and I, but it's counterproductive to insist that all web browsers need to be able to support playback of Peanut Butter Jelly Time SWFs, RealPlayer-encoded Nine Inch Nails videos, Metallica's homepage from 1997, or binaries of P.F. Chang's menus in their original form in perpetuity. Sometimes it's best to let go of sentiment for the sake of progress.
And you ignoring a problem that very much exists isn't either.

Further, why is it their responsibility to "help closer the divide" when the other side does not believe they should have fundamental rights?
In the most interesting fantasy, the car has an idea of how much it actually needs to charge -- Bolts and Teslas often don't use but a small fraction of their battery on a typical day -- and the grid has an idea of how much wind energy it's going to get in the middle of the night. And you'd combine the two to make sure all of the wind energy gets put into a car battery, or car batteries don't end up full because the owners don't need it tomorrow and the wind is expected to be strong tomorrow evening.

You can do the same solar energy and cars plugged in during the daytime, soaking up excess solar electric generation.
This is a good question. I’d say it is not net-neutrality related as it doesn’t influence the “pipes.”

On the other hand, if it silently influences internet traffic, it does in a way censor content and could influence their bottom line.

I would expect this to be an explicit switch.

It’s not a currency. It’s digital gold. Gold isn’t easy to exchange and it’s deflationary but it’s a good place to store your money for the long term, especially if you live in an unstable country.

What makes bitcoin valuable is that it’s gold without any of the downsides of gold. Hop in an airplane with the equivalent of millions of dollars in your pocket without having to trust or ask permission from anyone.

And many times, my side projects are my way of relaxing. Some people relax by partying, some relax by walking their dog, some relax by spending time with their kids. And my choice of relaxation time is often just building something interesting that has zero self-employment or market value, but is just funny or cool. It is refreshing to do something for pure happiness and fun, after dealing with the unhappy real world, is all about traction and money and not happiness.

I also have another set of side projects with specific intent to learn something new, which I consider an educational time investment in myself.

Neither is "click bait" for employers, and I consider neither to be a "waste of time".
Thank you very much for this background information, I was ignorant of it.
My in-laws mix both "nopal" and "tuna". Possibly depending on context, but I'm still studying Spanish and nowhere near 'native speaker' level.

I just call them "nopal" as I hear that word more often. Possibly due to the saying "Nopal en la frente" when they tease my sister-in-law her husband.

I can imagine "tuna" being confusing to English-speaking natives :-)
It's not even rare in abundance. Every fork (Bitcoin Cash!?) defeats its supposed non-abundance.
For me, using Firefox is the personal conscious choice you refer to. Their brand is that the browser is on your side, I'm happy to have the defaults set accordingly.

(Edit: I should add that I think you're asking a very valid philosophical question that my opinion as a user of Firefox doesn't fully address)
Well perhaps they support the propping up of old media because, on average, there is more integrity than in so-called new media, regardless of what you consider a left/right argument. Like perhaps bailing out the banks in 08 was more about stability than some evil leftist plan to quasi-socialize the core function of our economy.
