There still seems to be a difference in kind between a number represented in such a way that no further processing is needed, versus represented in a way in which further processing is needed.

Thank you. I like it.

A small nugget of feedback. When I take a look at the source code of a component, I see the code like this:

<span class="file-icon">
<i class="fa fa-upload"></i>
</span>

I recognize some classes like 'fa' which stands for Font Awesome, but not so sure about the rest of them. It would be nice to have a hint like "This code depends on Font Awesome and Bootstrap v3".
I had VIN #150,000 18 months ago, and they crossed 200,000 in May 2017 so it’s likely sitting at just shy of 300,000 right now. The 150k figure you are citing is US only (where there is a race to 200k when the federal credit expires).
> pageActions can now be shown and/or hidden automatically for specific pages via pattern matching using the “hide_matches” and “show_matches” manifest properties. This is a nice performance win for users.

When writing an extension that shows a page action only for certain domains/URLs, this allows to replace about 15 lines of javascript code with a single line in manifest.json. Nice!

Seriously though, not being thrown into a program editor at boot is not what prevents getting started with programming. It probably is the fact that you can do non-programming on the computer. I mean, anyone using a computer would then know programming by definition.

Being cheap is inconsistent with Mozilla's aims, surely? Value for money, yes, but not if it greatly risks employee satisfaction (for example).
Let us stipulate that dumb (unsophisticated, foolish, intemperate, whatever) criminals exist. Is it now your argument that LEOs especially need help catching these dumb ones, who would actually be coordinating their criminal activities via cheapest-commercially-available non-burner smartphones with original ROMs? Are they just forgetting entirely the smart criminals who have hired someone to root their equipment? Know your limits, I suppose.

That's nonsense, of course. They'll continue to catch the dumb ones the way they always have: when the criminal screws up and a cop whose shift is still young just happens to be around. They'll continue to catch the smart criminals only very rarely, when someone with enough clout gets pissed off enough. They'll continue to "catch" innocents all day every day, only now they'll have more circumstantial "evidence" of the "this guy googled TVs last month; he was obviously trying to decide which TVs to steal" variety. This is why the Founders wrote the Fourth Amendment.

Actually they do have warrant requirements, and those are more limited than for criminal warrants. Also, in California employers (of any size) are required by law to turn away ICE agents unless they have an appropriate warrant, and to provide notice to employees, subject to criminal penalties for non-compliance.

http://hrwatchdog.calchamber.com/2018/01/ice-raids-californi...

This has nothing to do with the license plate issue, but I wanted to clarify that ICE agents are not quite as legally powerful as they like to present themselves. You might be mixing them with the very broad search powers of Customs and Border Patrol, which is a separate agency and the one that can supposedly conduct searches within 100 miles of any border. Not that being a separate agency makes that better.

There is a '3' here, too. Which is that the explanation is more abstract than the equations, i.e. it carries less information but is still accurate in what it says.

>... physics knowledge is math

This would be hard to justify in the face of the fact that many alternate formulations often exist with identical predictive power of the same physical phenomena. So we can't say the phenomenon is the mathematical formulation, because it's equally some other formulation too. The best we can say is all of the most precise descriptions we've found so far have been given in terms of mathematical statements.

I think the reason many physicists feel the temptation to communicate their work without equations is that the most interesting and creative part of their work is likely prior to equations in which their results are codified. And that abstract idea that led to the equations, which may now be just a simple image in the physicists mind, seems like something shareable and interesting.

At least that's been my experience doing abstract math and programming work and feeling a desire to share the 'key idea' behind certain things with non-technical friends.

The issue is where the MONEY for Mozilla is coming from. It certainly is not from email clients. Firefox is the reason why Mozilla receives so much money, and it is obvious that they want to capitalize and concentrate their efforts on the browser. Considering that they're getting a lot of success on this effort, it is difficult to criticize them for doing this.

I think you definitively could make something like Keybase on Bitcoin, by using multiple third-party institutions (chosen by the user) as a fallback.

When sending coins to your storage address, you'd say "anyone can use this money if they have this private key OR if they get a digitally-signed certificate from 3 out of 4 of these keys (A, B, C, D)". Those keys could belong to different institutions (or persons) that would declare they vouch for your identity.

Then if you lost your key, you'd go to each of them to get your certificate signed and could then use the coins again.

--

Of course, this means that if those institutions colluded, or all got hacked, you could still lose your coins, but it'd be harder than just keeping them in an exchange.
Any tech to bring with you to desalinate water on solar power ?

Are there high insulation full body suits (double layer) ? Some people use array of thermoelectric generators on their skin to produce drops of electricity. Granted a large body coverage, helped by the temperature difference, the heatsink effect of water would make the generation a bit less inefficient.

Also what's worse keeping the HELP position with body submerged or doing a plank with half the body in air ? I wonder if wet skin + air lowers your temp faster.. albeit you have a bit of sunlight.
> with the billions of dollars of commission it earns from search from Google

That's the Mozilla Corporation. That's not a charity. It also explicitly does not work on Thunderbird.

The charity is the Mozilla Foundation. It has a lot less money than that.

The developer position in question is being effectively paid by the Thunderbird Council (but officially hired by the Mozilla Foundation, which has the infrastructure to do legal compliance like payroll taxes in place). The Thunderbird Council has even less money than the Mozilla Foundation.

> I can't actually believe this is something they're excited to post a blog about.

The Thunderbird Council is excited to post about this, because this is the first hire they've done as far as I know.

> seriously wrong with the way they allocate resources.

Well, "Mozilla" (both the Corporation and the Foundation) has decided to not allocate resources to Thunderbird, period, though some Mozilla employees contribute to Thunderbird in their spare time, like any other open-source project. You can disagree with what the two Mozilla organizations are focusing on, but it's a pretty deliberate decision, not something falling out by accident or something, or a result of the organization being a "shambles".

Maybe I'm reading too much into the situation, but it's my impression that "cooperat[ing] with FCC, internal investigators" means talking with them without support from counsel and union representatives. Or at least, sharing more than they advise. I expect that it takes some time for them to negotiate on his behalf with those investigators. And in the meantime, saying nothing is the best option.

Also, "cooperating" implies some shared goal. Such as discovering the facts of the matter. But that's very likely not the case here. These investigators arguably need someone to blame, and the likely candidate is pretty clear. The "button pusher" needs to focus attention on underlying problems, and that's a huge burden for a drone. Others with expertise need to do that.

Handling this server side seems weird. Why not just have a profile in your mail client that lets you send personal email through the personal server and work email through the work server. You end up with a much more robust setup that works without extra hops through a 2nd mail server. It also provides immediate feedback if sending an email fails for some reason.

If Apple mail is broken and keeps dropping things I'd suggest thunderbird.

27 cars is a start. In terms of fleet size, Waymo, Uber and Cruise each have about 200 test vehicles on the road, gathering in the ballpark of 4 terabytes of data per hour, and they currently have $150k or more of sensor+compute hardware on each vehicle, they use high definition 3D maps and are focused on validating their software to function safely within limited, geo-fenced areas; a realistic objective.

sufficient storage + innocous[sic] tech can be transformed into surveillance

Right, but it seems then you're saying that surveillance is more of an intention than it is a set of technologies. Some technologies make those intentions easier to act upon certainly, but the concept of "surveillance" needs to be defined better so that we can recognize what specifically makes it sinister.
I was soo ready to agree with GP, in fact I upvoted them, because the rebuttal stands in my opinion (they aren't the richest in the world and they don't make 9 figures), but you are also so very right...

Why the eff haven't they hired a $120k/yr rounding error to work on the application? Maybe they have tried, but no one wanted the job (especially to do solo). There could be plenty of answers to this, but I wish they would have hired a team of developers.
That won't work right; it can overflow vertically. Consider the case of a 10x10 image in a container of width 500px and height 100px... Ideally you would want it to end up 100x100, but it will end up 500x500 with that CSS.
> The issue is where the MONEY for Mozilla is coming from. It certainly is not from email clients.

Maybe Mozilla ought to change their mission statement to "Maximize revenue" then: neglecting Thunderbird does not jibe with "Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all." The Internet is much more than the web - email is a huge part of it. Maybe I'm being naive, but IMO, money ought to be a means to an end for Mozilla, not the end unto itself.

Also, how much money did Mozilla get from IoT/FirefoxOS? I think it's close to $0, and yet they spent way more money on it than Thunderbird. I don't think your theory holds.

"Surveillance" is in the intent. If I collect user tracking data and that data leaks, or the government requisitions it, does it not then become surveillance data?

FWIW, I have convinced myself that ubiquitous surveillance is pretty much inevitable as a side-effect to automation of infrastructure, so the question is how to manage it (rather than whether.) Right now we are seeing a split between "Morlocks" and "Eloi" where there is a huge gap between the understanding of the folks working at these AI-developing super-silos and the understanding of Joe and Jane User on the street.
I don't know anything about JS-based cryptomining, but I wonder if you can't stop such ads without breaking 90% of legit ads.

I see what you mean, but I'd argue that stories succeed when they have more than one of these attributes. (And I'd enjoy the argument. This is a fun two-beer discussion!)

Sometimes the absence of an attribute encourages the reader to fill in the blanks; readers' own imagination is an important element. So if the characters are undeveloped but the worldbuilding is superb, the reader supplies what the story lacks.
