Firefox recently deprecated their entire legacy extension system, in favour of a new, more secure system based on Chrome's extension system, and also on the W3C's draft spec[0]

This means that many things should be identical between them: including but not limited to the packaging format, manifest format, security model, and the basic APIs for simple common browser features like tabs, page loads, network connections, etc. which gives you a very high compatibility surface area.

Naturally, APIs for any innovative features either browser have will be unique to that browser. e.g. Firefox has unique APIs for it's Container system, and it's Sidebar. I guess Chrome has some unique features too.

If you want to be extra clear, what is "left of center" is not actually liberal at all, and I wish we wouldn't call them that. Liberal values tend to be centered around individual liberties and universal values. Leftist values tend to be centered around communal equality and values of group identity. I would argue that they are political opposites rather than making the case that the far left is just an extreme version of liberalism, because it isn't at all.

I know this is possibly going a bit too far, but learning the basics of typography/design goes a long way.

https://practicaltypography.com is a pretty nice introduction on the topic, but overall, if there's any one major thing to keep in mind,

It's this:

Use white space.

The difference between something that looks thrown together and something that looks professional often come down to simply giving a shit about where text is and where text isn't. Does it look good? No? Try again.

Beyond that, don't go crazy with fonts. Two-maybe three weights/variants of one typeface will probably be sufficient -- I've generally found it's a lot easier for an amateur to make things that don't suck when they aren't trying to pair fonts.
Somehow I doubt kind of people buying IOTA are going to abandon it just because the core team is incompetent.

> Yesterday's good guy is tomorrow's school shooter.

Sorry, but that's patent nonsense.

Somewhere north of 3 million AR-15 rifles have been sold. The number of mass murders (not all of which use AR-15s, by any means) committed at schools averages about one per year.

I also have this suspicion. I'd like to see some numbers on it. In my experience, most of the people I know who live in San Francisco own cars but frequently take Ubers to avoid dealing with parking at their destination, to go out drinking, etc.

Downtown San Francisco is one of those places where driving your own car and paying for parking can cost more than taking an Uber.

I think Bruce Schneier's take was particularly prescient: "In 2017, leaving your crypto algorithm vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis is a rookie mistake. It says that no one of any calibre analyzed their system, and that the odds that their fix makes the system secure is low."

The question is, though, is this going to make a difference to the people playing? Very little about the crypto space makes any sense. It's in a lot of ways just a database but harder -- so much harder -- because the community insists nobody can be trusted. In reality there are very few situations in which you really can't trust one other entity.

You're right, I am opposed to communism, but I am not an ideologue.

I posit that painting both anti-communists and communists as ideologues and rejecting both arguments is a false equivalence since communism is an extreme.

To provide another example it's similar to saying "Anti-Nazis and Nazis are both ideologues, neither of their arguments should be listened to. "

IOTA has seemed questionable for quite a while, and I'd also urge people to stay away from it, but is it just me or is Green's conduct here pretty out of line?

but if you read the conversation he's referencing, he doesn't come off as reasonable in it either.
> In Energy and Civilization, Vaclav Smil points out that in terms of embedded energy, an automobile, with over 1,000x the mass of a smartphone, has only 100x the embedded energy.

Assuming embedded energy means "battery / fuel capacity" this seems very wrong:

- typical compact car (~3000 lbs, ~1360kg) / Samsung S8 (155g) = 8800

- 50L fuel tank = 475000 Wh / Samsung S8 battery 11.55Wh = 41000

So that's ~4.6x more stored energy per kg, not 10x less.

Not true, Australian homicide rate reduced substantially.
Gun deaths and injuries of course reduced very substantially.
And many gun deaths and injuries are not premeditated murders, but accidents, suicides, and "heat of the moment" situations.

If "guns don't kill people", we'd trust (good) people to wield cruise missiles. Clearly the weapons do kill people.
Having spent the last two years in various Asian cities, I feel confident in saying most American cities could halve average commute times with no sacrifice to safety. To name a few cities that have much better commutes than the bay or NYC: Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei, and Seoul.

Whether things get better in American cities is not a matter of technical innovation at all, but politics and economics.
I would suspect that the negative impact from increasing the number of cars on the road is by far going to outweigh any savings from less lane blockage.
1996 called and they want their joke format back
> A named generation is static, based on the birth dates. The "20-35 age range" is dynamic, anchored to the present time.

Yes, that's why my phrasing used "at this moment." At this moment, millenials are around an age range of 20-35 years old, give or take a bit depending on the very fact that you point out, there aren't well defined boundaries and the exact age range could vary. I was very careful to include "at this moment" in my phrasing, for the reason that you point out. I didn't bother to hedge about the unclear boundaries of the millenial generation, since that wasn't the topic at hand, but yes, these terms are somewhat vague.

The actual article cited simply discussed the nationwide birthrate at different points in time; it didn't talk about particular generations.

Given that millenials are currently the generation that are of prime child-bearing age, it's pretty clear what the original poster meant "people of child bearing age right now, who happen to be millenials, are having less children than those of child bearing age at any point since the great depression."

The original phrasing was humorously incorrect, I just thought that asking for clarification was a bit much, since it was pretty clear what they meant to say, it was just a funny mistaken phrasing.

Relative to the size of its population, Israel has a highly developed electronics engineering related industry. Part of it related to their state support of domestic defense contractors like IAI and their avionics/radar/C4I equipment. Aside from Cellbrite, companies like Ceragon, Alvarion, Radwin, ECI, Telrad, Elbit.

Second hand knowledge: Within international organizations that have worked extensively in the Israel-Lebanon border area it is well known that Israel has pwned most of the Lebanese telecoms and ISPs quite thoroughly. To the extent that Hezbollah started laying its own fiber optic cables.

Cities should always improve mass/public transit.

The challenges with finding the political will and thus budget to make those improvements are well documented. And ride sharing gets most of the same hidden subsidies as private vehicles: roads are maintained for "free", congestion and pollution are externalized costs, and cars get implicit priority when there is not dedicated (or adequate) infrastructure for pedestrians, bikes, and mass transit vehicles (as well as more subtle stuff such as refusing to ban RTOR, despite how dangerous it is to people on foot).

Because there's no good way of accounting for those costs or compensating for them, transit authorities are under constant scrutiny for their spending, and starved for money to put into system maintenance and capital improvements. But billion dollar highway expansions sail through approvals because it's "needed", as if the mass transit options which might have made the expansion unnecessary are somehow an extravagant amenity.
One approach may be to tokenize user information. Ensure that any personal data is separated from other data and mapped via tokens and kept in one place. Handle backups of this database with special care.

You can then have the rest of your systems work as normal.

All this is easier said than done if you have a large investment in existing systems, but it is probably a design approach you can enforce from the beginning if you are a startup.
Yeah, like the sites doing that for China.
Doesn’t each OS simply provide a high quality and constantly supported API locked to the OS? And leave it to third parties to map any other standards on to it? It seems like DirectX is to Windows what Metal is to macOS - they’re both locked, supported and optimised around the same, no?

Nobody is expecting Microsoft to add native Vulkan drivers on Windows, why would that be expected of Apple?
I believe the Nest cams already do this, with more companies scheduled to add the feature.
Interestingly, I get a lot of results for 1911 (none seem to be actual firing guns, despite pictures), but nothing for Glock or Colt. Funny thing is the 1911 results have a lot of "Colt" words in the title, so it's an obvious block, and a pretty stupid one (as they all are) at that.
I think this is a shame, but for SF at least, it's kinda "well, duh". I would love to take transit more often, but when I have to go somewhere, and map it, I see things like:

Car: 12 mins

Transit: 40 mins

Walking: 55 mins

If I have the time, I'll walk. If I don't have the time, I'll take a Lyft (pre-Uber/Lyft I would usually drive myself, and then have to deal with the pain of parking). Why would I ever take the bus?

I would love it if SF had a transit system like Tokyo's, or hell, even NYC's. But we don't, and there's little political will and money available to dig more subways. The new central subway is a start, but we really need to be building 5 of those, simultaneously, at all times. So... what's the solution here?
Yep. It almost seems like Vulkan is designed to be used through a library or framework of helper functions ;)

Psst, I think you meant "Principal", not "Principle". :)

Dynamic pricing helps alleviate that. But also I notice more ride share drivers park and wait for rides in a parking lot, where as taxis seam to just slowly drive around blocks.
Seriuously, you don't have 4G in the cities? Why share a painfully slow Wifi connection when I can have my one private channel and fast enough to do almost any work? And with the hotspot option on smartphones, is even simpler...
They could tax them to avoid that.
Interesting; I know this term has been around for a few years but I've seen an uptick in its use in the past week or two.

I think I've seen more examples of it in action as well. Maybe. Seems hard to know for sure. For example, is "Please provide evidence for your claim" a good-faith way to start a debate, or is it just a cheap way to keep a person quiet until he or she can come up with some data?

I wouldn't rule out some kind of electrical glitching attack.
Parking is still a reasonably scarce resource; I'd expect there wouldn't be enough parking available at any given time to accommodate all the drivers not currently giving someone a ride. In many cities there aren't really places you can just "stop". And often the parking that is available is metered, which might cut into a driver's income more than burning gas circling around would.
Even if you are in a design field. If you can't make it both cool and readable, you aren't that good.

Instead of looking at it as buses using up a lane that could have been used for cars, look at it as cars using a lane that could have been bus exclusive.

The throughput of a bus is so massively larger than that of cars that it will outweighs the frequent stopping. And if you give buses a dedicated lane they become much more efficient as well.
This seems to be an incredible backdoor propaganda label to stifle logical discussion. It's an appeal to emotions over facts (my personal group's facts are better than your objective facts) and to equate obnoxious lunatics with mature critical thinkers.

Don't like the proofs provided? (cause they show you are wrong) Then you must be sealioning, even if it's the first thing you write.

Edit: A mature adult does not need a label to deal with annoying and obnoxious people on the internet. There are lots of ways to deal with them. (the least of which is to simply ignore them...)
The jets shown in the article come from the accretion disk [1], a disk of matter orbiting the black hole, formed as matter 'spirals' in.

For reasons we aren't 100% sure about yet (though we suspect it is due to angular momentum and energy transfer through some process [3]), matter (in the form of hot plasma) from this accretion disk can be launched out along the axis of rotation at relativistic speeds (close to the speed of light) in the form of astrophysical jets [2], which we can observe to due the radiation they emit.
These jets play a large part in galaxy evolution, and as shown in the article can be huge, extending far beyond the galaxy itself.

It was also confirmed explicitly during the Q&A at the blackhat talk in 2016, which I believe is on YouTube.
I graduated high school (US) in 2009. My mom did the same, at the same school, 30 years earlier. When she was in high school, guys would leave shotguns and rifles in gun racks in the backs of their pickup trucks, in the school parking lot, and there was never an issue.

In 1991 (year I was born), a kid brought a sawed-off shotgun to my high school and held up a class, discharging something like 10 shots into the wall. Nobody was injured and everyone made it out alright. This did not get weeks of nonstop national news coverage like contemporary school shooting incidents do. The kid brought a sawed-off shotgun, and handgun legislation was the thing of the time (which has now mysteriously switched to rifle legislation for no perceivably valid reason). Also, nobody died, so there weren't any dead kids to use as the emotional bedrock for any sort of political activism.

When I was in high school, a kid at either my high school or maybe it was the school across town, got a felony for leaving a paintball gun (from the weekend or whatever) in his car and parking it in the school parking lot.

What's changed in the past 30 years?
