When pairing a new device (or in this case a new browser), that device doesn't automatically get any keys! When adding a new device, to complete the setup you also have to be able to unlock a password group, for which you need another device that already has keys.

In short, a new device doesn't have the same power as the others from the start, first new keys have to be generated which can only happen if you are able to unlock your passwords.

So just don't setup both the Firefox and Chrome extension and you're golden.

That sounds funnily absurd to me. By that line of argument, even sound is not really audio. After all, it's being encoded as air pressure waves :-)

How did that mentorship work out...
I wonder sometimes, what could be built using today's tech if it was focused like Amigas back in the day with a single hardware spec and a dedicated OS just for that platform. Without regard to backwards compability in OS, like BeOS at the time.

What would a revolutionary Amiga 1000 look like in 2018? With modern hardware and latest OS/system ideas.

Gaming consoles could be considered examples of this, but they are kind of single purpose.

The Best Save the Date Ideas
There is a valid trolley question but it's not about how the AV makes decisions.

It's about whether the benefit of developing AVs as fast as possible outweighs the risk of accidents caused by immature AVs.

If AVs can save 1000 lifes a year then going Uber style and risking 100 deaths to speed up development of AVs by even just 2 months might save more lifes than trying to avoid deaths entirely.
Oh, ain't I silly!

Define “work”. Manual labour? Sitting in an office? Both have negative health impacts. The sort of work that prolongs quality of life is only a subset of the work there is economic demand for. A job which is active but not strenuous, basically. Most jobs are either physically hard work or mainly sedentary, with not much in between.

> (4x slower, perhaps)

"4x" is a lot slower, and a lot of things are much worse than this. You have to have deep knowledge of the VM (such as knowing how "hidden classes" work in V8) to be able to get JS close to Java.

> so I'll disregard that.

You shouldn't. Claiming a JIT'ed language is fast due to being faster than Python, an entirely interpreted language, is like saying a moped is a fast vehicle because it's faster than biking. Apples and oranges.

Being faster than PyPy, the JIT'ed Python implementation, is a more interesting thing, but this is still very far off "fast" languages.

> What is it missing that makes you hate it so?

Most language features, really. "Everything is an object and objects are hashmaps, EVEN ARRAYS" (terrible for performance, type safety), "array of int16" strings with totally broken unicode codepoint handling (ES2016 brought new ways to deal with codepoints, but the standard way is still broken), the "Number" type which is totally retarted, the terrible "prototype" system, the malice that is "this" and how any bare function expression had its own this context (arrow functions are a good workaround now), and god I could go on.

"Everything is an object" is only useful if you either actually need a hashmap (then use one!), or you have sloppy types.

JS, as a langauge, is not well designed. I'm not saying it had to be Haskell or Rust, but JS is far below average.

It works, and does it job decently due to the very hard work of JS engine implementors trying to make this crazy thing fast, but that's not the same as being good.

ethics =/= religion

For some interesting points about how these aren't the same I'd refer you to Richard Holloway[1]. An ex-Bishop he has refered to himself as a recovering Christian and writes extensively on ethics. He realised that people could make perfectly good ethically arguments without any reference to religion when he sat on various national advisory commitees whilst Bishop of Edinburgh.

>Is Maps.Me (which uses AdSense) really better than Apple Maps?

The "Maps (F Droid)" alternative suggested before the Maps.me app is a fork of Maps.Me that doesn't include any tracker/ad. It works pretty well although I've had a few issues logging into my OSM account and it takes a little too long to navigate "up" from a place search. It also features a GPS track recording function that Maps.Me lacks (AFAIK). It's really great and deserves more contributions!
It won't hurt if humans fail the test every so often, as long as it's under a threshold that humans regularly can overcome.

I can imagine it would be easy to trick the system a few times (either as a bot pretending to be human, or a human acting like a bot), but tricking it consistently over months or years is going to be damn near impossible.

I think most devs who dislike it because it reduces the barrier to entry which undermines both their own prestige and quality of coworkers. Its similar to dislike of outsourcing in many ways.

From a technical perspective, there are couple disadvantages in the long run that can make large codebases unmaintainable. In particular JS and PHP are resistant to static code analysis since they support functions like exec. So it becomes difficult to deprecate functions because the references are not necessarily explicit, thus can lead to tech debt buildup. ES6 does a better job but its backwards compatibility can leave the code vulnerable.
PCI requirements are TLS 1.1 minimum. Stripe's change is of course is due to PCI certification and 1.2 is strongly encouraged, but 1.2 is not the defacto version required.

Umm... at the risk of being dramatic..

In addition to worrying about the carbon footprint of another kid, I have a much bigger concern that

* We will do nothing regarding climate change (seems likely)

* The predictions for Business as Usual will have been too conservative (seems likely given that the Arctic is melting well ahead of schedule, and who knows how clathrates pan out)

* Temps rise by a good 8C or so in the next 8 decades

* My child, or their children, will die horribly in a new global Holodomor as our resource chains (webs, really) collapse and the world's civilizations implode.

Anyway, I already had one. But I have a deep, pervasive dread that I have doomed them to the above. However, I also might be wrong! Maybe it just gets a bit warmer and they can open a nice winery in Sweden and it's all fine.

The basic metaphors are still the same because we're still using mouses on the desktop. With mobile devices these metaphors break down fairly quickly, though.

HTML-based applications however also introduced a number of new metaphors and patterns such as the page paradigm that, while originally reminiscent of printed pages, is different from anything both in the physical world and within native desktop applications.

Typography and information hierarchy are other aspects that usually can't be implemented as easily or as flexibly with native UI kits as with HTML-based approaches.

And now you're just making up stuff. I'm shocked... Disengagements have absolutely nothing to do with "avoiding hard braking". Disengagement numbers and analysis are completely open you can find them here [1] along with the reasons, miles driven, etc. A disengagement is defined as, "a deactivation of the autonomous mode when a failure of the autonomous technology is detected or when the safe operation of the vehicle requires that the autonomous vehicle test driver disengage the autonomous mode and take immediate manual control of the vehicle."

So for instance if the software is providing a buggy output and the car is stopped for debugging, recalibration, etc that counts as a disengagement. And that is indeed, by far, the most common occurrence. It's extremely rarely to actually avoid a crash - let alone your fixation with "hard braking." Some companies, such as Nvidia, specifically clarify that literally 0 of their disengagements (in their case out of 109) had anything to do with extraneous conditions such as road surface, construction, emergencies, etc.

Well, but then don't look for generic cookie cutter startups that everyone wants to work at :) Go after the startup where you as employee #1 are uniquely positioned to negotiate for. If you're employee #1 and you just graduated from college and this is your first job, and you have no special abilities beyond every other CS graduate across the United States, then yeah, you really don't have much negotiating power... nor do you at any other large company like Google either.

"is never getting to be alive."

I suppose we may differ on this but I don't really view that as a negative. I don't think there's a pool of "potential people" from which we draw when making a new person. An infinite number of beings don't exist, and won't. I actually would love to see more work on the nature of consciousness and the self, and what exactly gives a new foetus or baby its awareness of the fact that it exists.

And yet I'm not entirely consistent internally because even though "I want someone to hang out with when I'm old" is part of the reason kids sound fun, most of it is "bringing a new being capable of experience joy into the universe", so I guess I sort of agree, in a roundabout sense.
100% correct and I say that as a startup founder that thinks SV startups ripoff their early employees.

> Slowing down is braking surely?

No, it's your last resort if you must slow down. Better drivers learn to coast, down-shift, or tricks such as using the slight uphill grade of a roadway to adjust speed without resorting to braking.

Next time you are driving and have good visibility far ahead in a long line of cars (such as approaching a big hill) watch for the cars with the brake lights coming on constantly. These are the less capable drivers, and once you spot them you will see them making other mistakes. For example, one trick I've learned is to watch for the driver's hand resting on the turn signal stalk in adjacent lanes as I approach. This is a tell that they are intending to cut me off. When I spot it, I can back off to anticipate them, or be more aggressive and accelerate to close the gap they were aiming for.
Under the hypothesis that people move their mouse to where they're intending to interact with your page, you can build a heat map of mouse locations and show your UX people where on the page users are focusing their attention. I'd probably rate it as one of the more benign forms of telemetry.
Nuclear gets cheaper if you actually have production of many units. This is pretty clear in the literature.

If the US planned to replace all coal plants with AP1000 in the next 15 years it would be a totally different process.

Look at the prices when France or the US were building many reactors.

Also know-days you can already order thinks like Pebble Bed reactors from China or Molten Salt Rector from Canada.

> it's about 15 years before you see any kind of fast decarbonization progress from a commitment to build a new generation of nuclear reactors.

And if you look at all the different plans this is still about the best.

The 2050 all renewable plans are FAR more unrealistic then any comparable plan with nuclear.

Once you get the build time to 5 years its becomes economical and that is very realistic once you plan for more then a few identical reactors.
