Sort of tangential, but as an account-containers user, have you found a decent way to achieve making the current container "sticky", so that new tabs opened in a given window go directly to that container?

I currently use Chrome's account profiles for this, so I have a desktop where my work profile lives and a desktop where my personal profile lives, and this makes links followed from other applications Just Work so long as I'm on the right desktop for them. I could probably get used to a slightly more awkward workflow, and the history being annoyingly shared between them, but...

EDIT: ah, well, I found the relevant github issue. Looks like there's years of arguing yet to go! https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3...
If the ban is lifted, donating to the International Anti-Poaching Foundation wouldn't accomplish much, since none of the elephant hunting would be illegal...

There's also an elephant population problem in Botswana, so as sad is it may be, these measures are necessary.

Or a computer game. I have fond memories of Sid Meier's "Pirates" on the Amiga. It taught me some stuff I wouldn't have known otherwise about the colonization of the Caribbean. I've always felt there was scope for a much richer world with modern computers. Probably it already exists, I don't follow computer games much these days.

> Facebook replacement

Instagram has always been supplementary to Facebook, it was never a candidate to replace it.
I do certainly want to say this, to be quite clear, as someone who has been trained in de-escalation and works as both a manager, and a paramedic:

Your boss handled this horrifically. And had many many opportunities to defuse and de-escalate before it got to the state it did.

And that is entirely his fault, not yours.
People who appreciate the submission upvote, critics comment. There may be more of the former, but unfortunately the latter are more impactful
It doesn't operate without trust. It just makes it so you no longer have to trust banks. But you still have to trust the network.
$3000 on a mattress? WTF? How is that even possible for such a highly commoditized good?
Weird. I think I replied fair and square to only your explicit statements.
> If you think we have definitely answered the question of what life is

No, but we realized that we don't need a definitive answer to recognize that there's no secret sauce as vitalism would require us to posit.

It has always been like that. The amount of energy, of pretending, we put into recreating past experiences through retelling, photo, movie, conversation... it almost always trumps the experience itself.

Facts don't matter. Only opinions, how we choose to see them and agree on its meaning as a group matters.

The topre switches are generally quiet [1]

The HHKB product is an older product and I am not aware of any revisions to support USB 3. If I was going to buy a keyboard to use partly as a USB hub I would do research to ensure that the hub there met all of my requirements such as voltage [2]

Plenty of other "60%" style products have entered the marketplace and flooded the niche so there are better alternatives to the HHKB albeit not Topre based

That's exactly what the new tab hiding API present in Firefox 61 lets you implement properly.
As noted in my original comment, it doesn't stop anything at all. You still get foreigners with US accounts asking for things to be shipped overseas.

Pretty sure OP was talking about using the 2.4Ghz/5Ghz unlicensed spectrum. Obviously allowing user transmissions on licensed bands is a bad idea.
It really bothers me that people completely lack any sort of moral fortitude they think overtly lying and deceiving people is "ok". The fact is, everyone from the dealership to the call center employee knows whats going on and is a willing participant in this scam.
This is exactly the kind of snakeoil folk medicine I am talking about.

You are trying to argue that hormone therapy has no therapeutic value because one particular drug is derived from a biological source? Urine is gross so obviously the drug is a fraud? Mixed in with "big business" conspiracy. That is the kind of argument that should only work on a small child.
But if you do it right, arguing with strangers on the internet helps you think better.
An illusion to whom though?
This was exactly my experience 20 years ago. Shame things haven’t changed.
Absence (with the threat of regulation) is a very different state than an explicit ban on regulation (via the CRA) and what amounts to a governmental endorsement of their move into ad tech.

You're correct that the rules never went into effect, but they also had no reason to invest in ad tech with the (increasingly probable) regulation looming in the future.
Poaching goes on regardless of legal status. Also they work in other places besides Botswana.
contents on instagram are toxic.
Hint if you ever attend one: turn to your partner after the introduction and say "I don't know honey, we would have to sell the RV". They know that people with a RV rarely buy so they are much more willing to stop wasting their time.

The other option is go on vacation, send your parents to the presentation, and you take the freebies. This worked for a friend of mine- his parents old/disabled enough that they couldn't enjoy scuba diving and the like anyway, they were mentally competent enough to not sign anything, and they enjoyed the presentation better than the other tourist traps in the area.
I'd suggest using a std::vector of byte-sized integers for clarity, though there's nothing wrong from a standards point in using a std::string.

I've been to Botswana in 2008 and had a rather interesting conversation with one of our guides.

To begin with, poaching is hardly a problem there since you have clean government and punishment for poaching is draconian.

He disclaimed what he said with we won't like it (he's right). In Botswana you can buy a very expensive license to hunt Elephants. It's strictly controlled and you have a government representative monitoring you at all times and you get one try.

Since so much of Africa is in turmoil Botswana has an overabundance of Elephants (those smart animals can sense where they're safe and migrate en masse to Botswana, which is a problem for the environment) so that I can understand where he's coming from and it's not that black and white.

All that said: Yeah, I fucking don't like it. For starters: Elephants are just awesome creatures in so many respects. If I would have to describe them with one word this would be Zen.

I also do not understand where the challenge is. You have some super high tech, monstrous weaponry and shoot such a huge animal. Hell! If you look for a challenge hunt field mice, not elephants.

Shooting elephants, legally or not, indicates to me unhealthy sociopathic tendencies in a person.

In no way do I want to discourage people to follow your suggestion (which I think is awesome) and there's no doubt that poaching is a huge problem in big parts of Africa.

I just thought I could add some personal experience to the discussion.

On a side note: If you ever have a chance to visit Botswana by all means: Do it. It was a life changing experience. And go camping with a tour operator, instead of staying in (very expensive) lodges. Not only is it far more affordable, you actually get to stay deep in the game parks. Lodges are outside, since commercial operations are not allowed in the (strictly controlled) parks. You can go individually, when you have a reservation, but only get to stay at the camp site near the entrance.

Shame on the government for allowing an enterprise to become so successful. We should all protest for a worse economy! Fewer goods and services! Unemployment! That's what we want!
Domino's recently opened up some shops in Vienna, Austria and they gave a lot of their delivery people e-bikes. UPS also seems to have people delivering last-mile with e-bikes. Seems to work out great and they aren't clogging up the streets with delivery cars parked everywhere, blocking entrances, etc. like most other delivery services.
+1 I haven't seen it back then, it came yesterday in someones comment and I found it shocking!

The reasoning behind DA that he made the illegal business blooming possible shocked me. We should put Zuckerberg in jail because thanks to Facebook, ex cons are finding each other and their conspiracies are blooming. We should put Page behind bars because Google makes possible to find "how to make bombs" DYI. We should put AT&T officials behind bars because thanks to internet, online crime is booming! Also Apple officials because I'm sure crminals use iPhones.

Its really shocking and saddened this particular DA approach to destroy his life. The man didn't do anything illegal and he didn't want to become snitch. So they send jury after him. And because he is covered with tattoos and likes strips clubs, guess his place is 25 years behind bars. /s

For me it's the Microsoft Azure Portal that would cause Firefox to idle around 50% CPU utilization. For the moment it seems to be behaving. I opened up the UniFi Controller interface too just to test and it caused it to spike briefly but it settled back down to under 6% across 6 cores. So it's improved IMO.
It sounds to me like this a feature, not a bug.
You seem to confuse observing that a phenomena happens with understanding it.

A good friend of mine from college is an anethestist and we've had long conversations about this and he says that consensus is that nobody knows how their drugs work. They just have extensive history with the "dials" they use so to speak.
Risk is dependent on probability not just outcome. The odds of a major asteroid hitting in the next 50 years is under 1 in 1,000,000 so it's not worth spending much effort preventing. Climate change is close to 100% certain so it's worth spending vastly more effort preventing relative to the downsides.

Really though, I am talking about spending well under 1/1,000th US GDP. So, that's worth it even if climate change is bad, but not devastating.
Yea I’m not a fan of vitalism, I like falsifiable theories. Thanks Popper.
I wonder sometimes if scientists will solve consciousness and realize that we should have just been partying and having fun with each other the whole time.
If you've got a license for the bands, sure. I can blast IQ on 14.025Mhz if I feel like it assuming I stay within baud limits. Pretty cheap and easy to get a ham license these days.

Cell phones have multiple radio chips, I don't see issues with allowing SDRs on the unlicensed bands.
Does this mean 1 active monthly user equals $100 in your companies value?

:D
I believe there is a huge difference between you working on something that has the main function of facilitating an illegal enterprise and you working on something that has a tiny minority mis-using your product for illegal purposes. Silk Road vs Craigslist is an example that comes to mind.
> It may take from 1 week to 10 days for us to generate and send your licence key. But you could start using the software from the moment you made the purchase.

Sorry, that's a guaranteed dealbreaker.
> There is a public interest in having access to more medicine.

Only if it provides benefit and doesn't cause harm, and that's not clear with these medications.
I've always felt that Dennett has side stepped the question here. The 'hard problem' here is to explain how a set of physical processes give rise to consciousness or sensory experience at all. In other words, why the lights are on.

As far as I can tell, consciousness is literally the one thing in the universe that can't be an illusion. Even if, in the extreme case, we're brains in a vat, etc.
same with Canada. it also doesn't show any comments. almost looks censored compared to the usa view.
I recently started using Instagram (at first, to boost the number of followers for someone's organization's account). But it's actually kind of fun, every once in a while I see something interesting and instagram is a place I can post that without really bothering other people (since that's the point!)
Doesn't work like that. Return rates on assets average about 6% or so. i.e., if you invest $100, you expect a $6 annual income. In other words, a $100b investment would expect a $6b annual income.

Take average PE ratios for example, about 15 (so 6.6% earnings as a percentage of market cap).

That would require about $6 per user per year in profit. Facebook is at $6 average revenue per user (ARPU) right now, but >$25 for US users for example, and growing.

Instagrams revenues are currently around $7b with a fraction of that profit, and at current growth rates, the valuation isn't crazy.

If the average user spends 1 hour per day, that's 365 hours per year at $5 or about 1 penny per hour of use. It's not hard to squeeze in a penny worth of profit from ads per hour of use. This would get you at $6b net income. Given that's in the cards for the future, the valuation isn't crazy.

The only flaw investors can make is that growth either isn't sustainable (I think it is for quite some time), or that Instagram users will eventually move on to other things (e.g. Myspace) such that the years of profit will be shortlived (more likely). Nobody invests $100 to gain $5 per year for a short period, that's based on perpetual income expectations which would require Instagram to stay around for quite a long time.
This is a pretty narrow Instagram experience. I follow my actual friends who post random things from their life, and then people from a few different hobbies.

Except for watch people, none of it is carefully curated 'look at me' experiences. Watch people are another stripe though.... $20k on the wrist, $200k steering wheel.

I’m not sure what your post has to do with the article, it’s not about poaching - it’s about culling potentially overpopulated areas to preserve poor farmers livelihoods.
The founders sold to FB for 3 billion. Makes you wonder what WhatsApp is worth to Facebook. If 3B then is worth 100B now to FB is WhatsApp worth 633B now? ((100/3) * 19)
I think it's trying to drive home the point that even if you win some amount of money, it can be misleading - $1000 is less than $1000 after taxes.
This story was flagged by users and received a mild penalty for being a follow-up post (to the original announcement to which you've linked) without significant new information.

Everyone sees the pattern that represents the “other side” as having an unfair and total advantage. From where we sit, it's an obvious bias that perpetuates this kind of indignant sense of persecution which leaks meta all over the discussions—except it's even-steven. How can a site be both a Church of SJWs and an alt-right shithole?

You should listen to the How I Built This podcast with Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. I think it's Kevin that said something like "I could keep doing what I'm doing the rest of my life. Work hard, build the company, but then what? At the end of it, I write a book about business? I want to enjoy my life". Definitely don't feel sorry for them, they met their goals.

What makes you attribute this to Zuckerberg instead of Facebook?
I don't think I misunderstand. In 2012, there were quite a few up and coming social media apps. Twitter, Vine (2013), Tumblr, Pinterest, Snapchat (2011), and even Google+. Plenty of competition from both small and big companies. I'm not saying Facebook isn't a monopoly but given the options, you can't possibly think that at the time Instagram was going to be the "Facebook killer".

In hindsight, sure, we'd all love that. But seeing the recent FB hearings with congress, it seems they are still figuring out what the internet is.

It doesn't really matter what sort of administrative name is put on the case. An individual who files a claim on the property still gets their day in court. That trial represents a check on the power of the police which means (as I originally stated) that this power is not unfettered.

It's interesting to speculate about how 'cultural fit' supplanted 'doing your job'. By its nature, a so-called strongly defined culture is exclusionary, and has more than a few Orwellian undertones. On the one hand, there are rules of HR. That's fine of course. Social guardrails for the workplace. On the other hand, there are true individuals and eccentrics. Even HBR has tolled the death knell for 'culture fit'.

I did the same with Chrome account profiles, and I just searched for this on Firefox. The closest you get to it is ctrl/cmd + "+" (new tab button) which will open a new tab with current container.

I'm not saying that the existence of anesthetic technology means we understand consciousness. That's obviously not the case. I'm just pointing out that what the OP listed as the limiting factor on our understanding is already in hand.
I believe the idea is that you write the alternative reference implementation in a language that's easy to computationally reason about (e.g. Haskell) and then try to prove equivalence between your Solidity implementation and that one.

Not much QOL though if you're one of the millions of unemployed.
It is just medieval supply chain details. At one level the origin of the cockatoo might not have been important then to those entertained by such things, at another level the true origin of the cockatoo might also have been a closely guarded secret.

If you buy a fancy new car then the guy in the showroom has no idea who the supplier of the seats was, never mind who supplied the leather to the seat supplier or whom the farmer was that brought the cows to market for the supplier of the supplier to buy. This applies even if it is a Rolls Royce type of car where the marketing material says the leather comes from cows grown in Norway where there is no barbed wire. None of this information is secret but you are not going to find out the name of the farm the cows were 'grown' on.

With illegal substances - drugs - there is a matter of secrecy, the guy down the pub who can sell your intoxicant of choice is not going to tell you who he buys from and you wouldn't ask that question anyway. Then there is the rest of the chain to the port of entry and it gets to be a big mystery after there. Yet somewhere in the Bekaa valley or in darkest Afghanistan there is someone making the stuff that ends up a continent away. At each step of this black market supply chain things are far from transparent.

Spices and silk were like this for a long time, nobody knew where the guys in Venice got their silk from, they didn't even know yet they controlled that market until the Turks worked it out. Cockatoos were probably just another of those type of novelty items.
Not surprising, considering Instagram is the #1 marketing tool for brands and businesses right now.
I think I'm officially old now since I truly don't "get" Instagram or care to.
People drink bleach to cure autism. Should we ban bleach?

First, there's a difference between allowing the sale and distribution of a substance at all and selling it with a claim. All I would say is that [almost?] no substance's sale should be banned. Maybe taxed or something.

Second, this is going to sound harsh to some, but I think at some point, if someone buys arsenic to cure baldness, it's their responsibility.

It's fairly common for people to seek expert advice on something not because it's legally mandated, but because there is a culture and individual understanding that something is outside of your ability/skill to do without severe negative consequences. I have someone else do my taxes because I don't want to screw something up. You can represent yourself in a court of law, but in most/many cases it's inadvisable. If I need to have certain things done on my house, I hire an expert because I don't want to cause damage and/or injury. I think a similar cultural norm needs to exist regarding substances and health care more broadly.

To me there's something fundamentally illogical about the current approach to drugs, because if taken to its logical conclusion, it involves banning people from purchasing any substance unless they have appropriate credentials. The government just allows exceptions to the logic (e.g, alcohol, household chemicals, etc.) because to enforce it would lead to a lot of uproar. That seems really legally unsound to me. The more sound approach would look totally different.
Facebook went public so they have a board of directors now, therefore I would assume Mark has to find ways to keep them happy as well. I would guess the general vision of Facebook is like most corporations, to make more money.
I wouldn't call it a great release. For me Firefox is unresponsive sometimes for literally minutes. I click on another tab and it takes minutes to switch to it. I just had it happen before posting this comment. I also took a perf profile and asked the people in #perf to look at it but nobody did.

So no, I wouldn't call this a great release.
