Speaking as a lead engineer at a startup, i.e. someone trying to build a business, I'd much rather have 30 (actually 27 now) potentially incompatible ones. Because:

a) It's only potential incompatibility. Nothing stops governments bilaterally or multi-laterally synchronising their rules when the differences are trivial and unimportant.

b) What you describe as potential incompatibility, I call competition. If Spain and Germany wants to go off and try to extract money from Google for the "privilege" of linking to newspapers, they can do that, but it shouldn't impact everyone else. The EU artificially ties together many different policy areas that are unrelated and do not need to be take it or leave it, because they know full well that only a near-fundamentalist opposition to "cherry picking" as they arrogantly call it can ensure the bad ideas are universally adopted along with the good.

And as for not having English translations, that's on governments to fix. We live in a world where bilingual English speakers are not exactly hard to find.
> ‘false positives’: [...] classified by COMPAS as high risk but subsequently not charged with another crime

It doesn't make sense to say that someone classified as "high risk" which is not charged again was misclassfied. Unless "high risk" is supposed to mean "100% probability of being charged with another crime in the next two years".

We wouldn't say that patients with "high risk" of a heart attack were misclassified because they didn't have a heart attack. If we applied a similar reasoning, we would conclude that cardiology guidelines are biased against obese people.
That's not how it works for existing cases. There is in each country a single agency per section of the law.

For example, if you want play music in a restaurant, you know who to contact. In return you get the right to use all music ever created. No need to figure out who owns what.

To clarify, he's the only one that uses Edge in our company of about 20 people.

I do appreciate him finding the compatibility issues, but I also find it _cute_ when he discovered issues that no one else ever encountered because of Edge.

What I'm really trying to say is that I've seen a fair number edge cases where Edge is not behaving the same as Chrome or Firefox ;)
Make better one. People will say thank you.
I am a tab hoarder as well and switched to Firefox last year for this reason. I have a 16GB MBP and I had to restart Chrome twice a day due to memory usage. The most I saw was 25GB of RAM used by Chrome (thank you solid state swap!)

When Quantum was released, I did a side by side comparison, opening the exact same tabs in each browser, switching browsers each day, manually keeping tabs in sync. Did this for about two weeks. For my use case at that time, Firefox's memory usage was 1/4 of Chrome's right off the bat. After a full day of use, Firefox's memory would double, while Chrome's would triple. Given the starting numbers, this meant at the end of the day, Firefox would be using 4-6GB of RAM, while Chrome's memory usage would be something like 16-24GB.

By the time I switched, I had already moved to Rambox for Hangouts and Gmail and stopped using Keep, in an effort to reduce Chrome memory usage. Rambox mem usage was about half of what I saw with the Chrome Hangouts plugin.

Although I use FF 90% of the time now, I still prefer Chrome, probably due to using it for so long. I especially prefer the Chrome bookmark manager. I really wish I could find a good way to keep bookmarks in sync between browsers! Any suggestions??

A big bonus has been the huge improvement in battery life. I had no idea how much I was losing to Chrome. Safari is supposed to be great for that, but plugins and the fact I'm an Android user means it doesn't offer me much.

The downside is that FF has made my tab hoarding worse. Still, despite doubling the number of tabs, mem usage is still half of what I saw with Chrome.

As for the unused memory is wasted memory argument (which may be tongue in cheek re: browsers), my browser is not my OS and I have a lot more going on than just a browser. 32GB MBP can't come soon enough.....or a touchpad experience on any other hardware+Linux experience+lots'o'RAM. 3 yrs ago, I finally gave in and tried Mac. Touchpad experience is probably the number 1 thing that keeps me here.
You'll be surprised how well it works by just switching the user-agent. It's more of a "too lazy to make sure it works" than a "actually doesn't work and Chrome should be used" situation.

The smaller players are rightfully too afraid to do anything that the big players that can get away with. You may not see GDPR fining small players, but what you also won't see is small players innovating as much out of fear.
Depends on your working environment. At my current position, if I code up a prototype during work hours, I'm subverting our EPMO, since it's not an approved project. I've had great success doing various prototypes like this, but I am not waiting for permission to do them.

Bringing those prototypes to production is another matter. In any organization, there are processes that need to be followed to onboard a new application, platform, pattern, etc. If those aren't followed, the implementation won't be nearly as effective—especially long-term.
There are many job postings, payment forms(!?) and financial websites that only work properly in Firefox. The best part is, for job postings, it's a great "not going to work there" filter.
I could have used the US as an example too, as well as Russia

In what way were these successful warfighting organizations exemplars of the merits and nurturing of independent thought and initiative, though?
>Why are "garbage" tutorials getting high rankings in search engines?

Because John experiments with X for the first time and writes about it on his blog. Janette has the same problem while learning about X so she takes his code, makes a few changes and puts it on her blog. This scenario happens 8 more times and we have 10 low quality tutorials about how to do things, but none of the authors has experience and expertise in X, and they won't admit it. Bad practice is copied to many places. 1000 garbage kill 1 gold.
I used to think so, too, but I’ve been listening to the Bible Project podcasts and realized that the entire Bible, including the NT, is very Jewish, not modern or Greek at all, and in some ways the NT is actually more confusing because it can appear familiar when it really isn’t.

But if someone could only read a small part of the Bible, no doubt I’d send them to the Gospels.

How the fuck is providing someone a link to the actual law being downvoted?

Here's the specific article:

Article 11 Protection of press publications concerning online uses

1. Member States shall provide publishers of press publications established in a Member State with the rights provided for in Article 2 and Article 3(2) of Directive 2001/29/EC for the online use of their press publications by information society service providers.

The rights referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply in respect of uses of insubstantial parts of a press publication. Member States shall be free to determine the insubstantial nature of parts of press publications taking into account whether these parts are the expression of the intellectual creation of their authors, or whether these parts are individual words or very short excerpts, or both criteria.

2. The rights referred to in paragraph 1 shall leave intact and shall in no way affect any rights provided for in Union law to authors and other rightholders, in respect of the works and other subject-matter incorporated in a press publication. The rights referred to in paragraph 1 may not be invoked against those authors and other rightholders and, in particular, may not deprive them of their right to exploit their works and other subject-matter independently from the press publication in which they are incorporated.

When a work or other subject-matter is incorporated in a press publication on the basis of a non- exclusive licence, the rights referred to in paragraph 1 may not be invoked to prohibit the use by other authorised users. The rights referred to in paragraph 1 may not be invoked to prohibit the use of works or other subject -matter whose protection has expired.

3. Articles 5 to 8 of Directive 2001/29/EC and Directive 2012/28/EU shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of the rights referred to in paragraph 1.

4. The rights referred to in paragraph 1 shall expire 1 year after the publication of the press publication. This term shall be calculated from the first day of January of the year following the date of publication.

5. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to press publications first published before [entry into force of the Directive].
I've worn a watch in my wrist since I was 8, and all the watches I've owned have been Casio. Likewise, so was the scientific calculator that carried me through high school and early college. Not to mention my first PDA was a Casio Pocket Viewer, which also led me to my first approach to programming. To say the extent the company he founded and led has influenced my life in one way or another is an understatement.
You're kind of missing my point. I'm specifically not talking about gradual typing. I'm calling your claims about development cost into question.

I'm personally not a huge fan of gradual typing. I've tried it, and it didn't work well for both technical and social reasons. But I'm not here to argue that point.

Quote from the last earnings call:

"[...] my sense is that there's a fair amount of pent-up demand still. Fortnite is still growing in popularity. PUBG is doing great. And then we've got some amazing titles coming out. And so my sense is that the overall gaming market is just really, is super healthy. And our job is to make sure that we work as hard as we can to get supply out into the marketplace. And hopefully, by doing that, the pricing will normalize and the gamers can buy into their favorite graphics card at a price that we hope they can get it at."

More than one person in replies believes the OP is looking to improve their speaking. Perhaps this is a clue to where the OP can improve.

My tip is to always start with a clear indication of where you are going.

In this case, mention writing in the title, or very soon into the first sentence. For example, you could start with "Eloquent writing eludes me, I'm looking for strategies, tips, or advice." Nobody would read that and then give you advice on public speaking!
There are already several libs that compile to WebAssembly and let you manipulate the DOM, e.g.

https://github.com/mbasso/asm-dom

You can already call out to small JS code snippets that work on the DOM from WAM, and since DOM manipulation is slow anyway, the small overhead you get for calling into JS won't make a difference. So I'd say, go ahead and manipulate the DOM from WASM, even if WASM supports direct DOM access later it won't make much of a difference (apart from slightly less and cleaner code in the DOM-access library).
Oh, wow, Hangouts and Meet are working in Firefox now? I've been keeping Chrome running just for that for a couple of years, will be glad to stop having to do that.
So, under actual usage (not ctrl-tabbing around to aggressively force-load things) it is 950 MB vs 5.3 GB. (I imagine for a comparable number of tabs?)

------

EDIT in response to your reply:

Please do! I agree that logging would be interesting.

Do you know, does Firefox defer/discard tabs again if they do fully load but you don't use them for a long time? Or are the only deferred tabs, ones that you never looked at this session?

You just uploaded user content to HN... well.

Hi all –

I made a small site where people can post bootstrapped startups. My robot will go and fetch some dynamic data like Twitter followers, Product Hunt upvotes and revenue on Indie Hackers and you can sort by these numbers.

I really like this new maker movement that is happening. I believe a lot of products can be built without any VC money. I also do understand that a lot of products really need VC money (like you can't build flying cars without $$$ in bank).

Sometimes I see those articles, where founders raised millions or tens of millions of $$$ and started a company by building fancy offices, hiring top talent and going on expensive team retreats. Product will be in the development for years (maybe) and you really don't know when and if at all money starts to come from clients. It seems that they start to think about next funding round very soon after the first one.

I don't know, maybe it's just me thinking and I don't see the whole picture here.

On the other hand, yes – if we're talking about purely software business, founders need some money to eat things, wear things and pay their rent. Not millions of dollars of course, but some thousands per month.

But... it could be difficult to reach, let's say, $5k/mo with your bootstrapped product when you have your day job, maybe friends and kids – it could be really hard to find the energy in the evening to work on your sideproject.

So, I think YC with 120k is a great thing. It's not millions at least, but I still wonder if that's not too much... :) what do you do with that money? Ok, living in the Bay area is probably quite expensive too!

Anyways, if you know some boostrapped products, it would be nice if you could post it on my site. Thanks!
Hey at least you have a home, who cares that roof is leaking, walls are breaking and you sleep on pillow of mould.
Only the alt-coins I believe can make money from GPU-miners these days.
Miner demand was about 50% of sales. Admittedly this is because a lot of gamers were turned off by high prices.

That demand has evaporated since the price of Bitcoin alternatives (eg. Ethereum) has plummeted, and the difficulty of mining is still very high since now ASICs can mine many coins more efficiently than consumers GPUs.

Plus it seems like Nvidia are stuck with a lot of low-end chips. Many miners were buying things like the 1060.

However, Nvidia have no direct competition in the GPU space anymore. They can hold off their next product launch for months and wait for their inventory to clear.
That would be an insubstantial use of the material, and so would not be covered by the law.

> The rights referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply in respect of uses of insubstantial parts of a press publication

The actual law is bad enough. You don't need to make shit up.
This explains why 1000 garbage tutorials are created, not why they are ranked high in the search engine.
You can still tweak Firefox internals but you have to resort to its native `userChrome.css` [0] since current extensions API does not allow access to every corner. Luckily you can use devtools for that [1] what makes it quite pleasant (at least you don't have to restart browser to see the change). You can use pre-made package ([2][3]) and toggle what you want.

I, personally hate white nationalists, as they devalue everything good and decent. I also fully support the first amendment. I want to see them shut up but I'll be damned if a law is passed that forces it. Bias needs to be stamped out because we feel it's wrong, not because we're told to do so. External motivation is far less compelling than internal. Laws are external
Next month Bitmain is coming out with the Antminer E3 that mines all EtHash based cryptos so quite soon we will see how it will effect Ethereum.

At a price point of $800 and about as powerful as 6 RX570s ($350 each) which are current best bang for buck on this it should sell very well at least.
Chakra is Open Source:

I don't buy that "the great wave of popular resentment" is driven by the type and quality of housing options provided to techies. I can buy that life proves too itinerant for people at the bottom, but as far as I could see, the types of housing and services described in the article do not represent a delta for the people at the bottom.
The proposal says "The rights referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply in respect of uses of insubstantial parts of a press publication". The title is the least substantial part I can think of.
A wink is just an expression we call a wink. We can then analyze what a wink it philosophically and make claims about it. So one is the experienced phenomena the other is inquiring about that phenoma.
This is indeed a fair point. However, as legislator you ought to have the fantasy and courage to imagine what else might happen once your law becomes real. It is not enough to remake the world and ignore all side-effects.
The purpose of Machine Learning is to generalize on a large scale. I like to think of it as the equivalent of someone who has years of experience in a particular area. Someone who has been doing something for years has seen so much, that they can know in an instant what a situation is based on clues and generalizations. It wouldn't be fast if it wasn't generalizing.

If you want to claim you know what fair is in any given situation, then go and hardcode all your own fair rules, because you aren't going to find "fairness" in machine learning.

Why shouldn't they, exactly?
I don't think you can count a freshly started browser that has only loaded 7 tabs (one per window) as "actual usage". I'd guess tabbing around triggered <50 tabs, that doesn't seem like a totally unrealistic working set, at least not when I'm actively researching something.

Maybe I should set up logging for this, might be interesting.
I'd take cleaner code for half the speed quite often!

> Gravity is now 50% stronger than normal. Running is nearly impossible and many people can’t walk. Nothing can fly, including all airplanes.

That seems quite surprising. This says that no airplane can lift more than half its own empty weight? For baloons and zeppelins I guess that sounds reasonable, but cargo planes or jets should be able to lift more, right?

Also, at that point air density should be effected, which should give more lift.
What made you go with that rather than trying to pick a sensible default like the number of cores available? Or was it just a general goal to require explicitness?

No, the extension to the API and code is quite simple.

The problem is bureaucratic - the schedules of those involved rarely overlap, and they have very little motivation to work on it.

The meta bug for the API is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061

Again, I strongly recommend that if you care about this, you look through the issue on the BMO (especially see depends on and blocks), figure out what the next step is, and do it :)

I suspect it would not take very much time at all, although there could be a reasonable amount of waiting for replies from Mozillians.
No, they don't want to be paid if you link to their content. They want you to have a licence if you reproduce their content for commercial gain.

It's really important that people who oppose this law are strictly correct when talking to their MEP, because otherwise we risk everything being ignored because of these factual errors.
Neat! I'm finding the icons being used for the table headings unhelpful, though. Can only decipher two from "activity" (recency and issue count, I think).

Chakra seems decent too. And aren't V8 and Chakra both open source? Does Google improving V8 increase the size of their moat?

V8 improvements also benefit NodeJS, and they also contribute to it, I think.

I use both Chrome and NodeJS and will take any speed improvements they make.
