You can try either Tridactyl[1] or Vim-Vixen[2]. They come pretty close to the Vimperator experience (although with WebExtension limitations).

I'd recommend Tridactyl with native extension though (install the extension and type :installnative), as they've done a really great job re-implementing Vimperator features using a wrapper Python script (e.g. support for .tridactylrc, modifying UI[3], open with external editors, etc.)

I use Opera as my personal browser and it handles video pretty well. It's running Chromium under the hood, and I don't think any major improvements have been made for video in Chromium or in any of the standards like HTML5 or flash. I see on par performance to stock Chrome.
> I generally think that the CSA/drug wars or something like them may have been necessary to keep this country together. The problem with mind altering substances is that they work, and there were people who wanted to use them to change the world. They could have, not necessarily in a good way. Some things needed to be treated with more care and study and instead they spread like wildfire through a counterculture.

Can you be less vague and explain what you're talking about?
There's s a simple theory about the root of our consciousness: it's a property of individual cell.

Something like this: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/jonathan-edwards/publications/conscprop...

If this is true (I personally believe so), we need to focus on individual cells/bacteria for the answers.

1Password does in fact work on Linux and Firefox -- although it's not prominently advertised for some reason; I usually have to search for the page.

We have a team of developers using macOS and Linux, and we use the team functionality to manage both personal and company passwords. We made the switch to 1Password specifically because of Linux support [1].

Lab Notes: How We Made Joins 23 Thousand Times Faster, Part One
My thoughts:

1. In general I don't see the government's role being to police snake oil salespersons. Fraud in the form of inaccurate ingredient lists, etc. but not the snake oil itself (people should be able to sell snake oil, but it should actually be snake oil). I mean, when you have people drinking bleach for various conditions, can you really say the current regime is working? What about physicians overprescribing opioids or other drugs? It's pretty clear it doesn't work, IMHO. People need to be educated, not policed.

2. However, I can see regulating claims at the point of sale without regulating substances. For all the criticisms and controversy over vitamins, I think that's the regulatory regime that should be applied to all substances. Prevent use claims on product, regulate accuracy of ingredient lists but not sale of product per se.

3. We currently have a process for determining ability to consent due to neurodegenerative disease, genetic disorders, psychiatric disorders, etc. This could easily be applied to substance use. It seems to me the better way to approach substances is to assume people know what they're doing, and if their use gets problematic enough, approach it as a loss-of-ability-to-consent issue just like if someone had severe Alzheimer's. Get them assessed by psychiatrists or psychologists, and require it to go through a legal proceeding. That's imperfect, but better to me than just assuming everyone is a criminal.

4. I wish all the money that was going into drug enforcement and FDA regulations would go into research, education, prevention, and treatment. I think we'd have far fewer problems if the FDA were focused on drug use as a public health problem rather than a criminal/regulation problem. Educate, prevent, treat.

Atleast it's okay though.
While carbon emissions are an important consideration, they are not only impact of plastic. Plastics often end up in the ocean where they cause havoc with not just marine marine life, but also people.

It is not just about viewing unsightly plastic, but also ingestion of plastic and chemicals associated with plastic such as phthalates and endocrine disruptors. While spoilage is in issue, so are the various health problems associated with plastic. While there are too many unstudied plastic associated chemicals to quantify the impact, a number of them are clearly associated with cancer, obesity and infertility.

This month's issue of National Geographic is devoted to the problem of plastic in the ocean and is worth a look.
There are a bunch. Just about any will-instrumented platform presents many opportunities to do basically side-channel detection of compromise (e.g. cpu utilization, network utilziation, network flows, syslog data, process tree, etc)
I also feel bad for us, as users, because social media (at least the friend-focused kind) is dominated by one dude's vision.
I think Instagram has much better business fundamentals than Snapchat though. There was nowhere near as much of a struggle to monetize Instagram as Snapchat from what I recall.
In this case, the dots are still getting printed. The process described by the README involves masking out the printed metadata. This probably involves printing over or around it in a way that either destroys, corrupts or anonymises the information. This depends on the printer allowing you to print similar data on the same physical location as its dots, so it's possible that future printers will not have this vulnerability.

I was hoping there'd be some kind of custom firmware for printers that let me turn off this dot printing "feature" altogether.

Feature Flag Integration Comes to Jira with LaunchDarkly and Rollout
I agree with your two first paragraphs. I want to share some elements to complete your outlook.

Javascript, despite having monopoly on the client side since 2007, only saw its usage exploded with Node and NPM around 2013. Java applets and Flash were long dead by then. So it seems that JS success is only partially correlated to its hard-won monopoly on the client side. My intuition is that JS ecosystem cannot be that bad and win so many hearts. Using your words, it seems JS won based on some merits.

A few others clues: Hot reloading, fast build time, good debugging and profiling tools, lots of packages, plenty of already answered problems on stackoverflow/github, progressive complexity, multiple approaches possible from FP to OOP, particular attention to the developer experience (error messages, colors...), good set of linting tools with Typescript or Flow, easy to deploy/deliver, works to make desktop/mobile/web/VR apps, customizable build accessible to mortals, good enough package manager, evolving language that understood that it can always do better, welcoming and accessible dev community, mature networking APIs, good runtimes implemented by different companies...
I am not sure if Facebook was already seen as the Pacman of social things. It could have been Google or MS (and had I been in the shoes of Instagram founders and reached for acquisition I would have had gone with Facebook: better long term perspectives).
Great post! APIs have a come a long way over the last few years.
I'd feel bad for the employees who took unnecessary dilution less than a week before instagram was bought by facebook.

I found that Dan Dennett's "Consciousness Explained" really resonated with me. His thesis is (as best I can condense a whole book to fit in an HN comment) that consciousness is essentially an illusion produced by the brain as the best model it can construct of the sensory input it receives. But the model actually lags behind the present, and its history can be rewritten when new information comes in. Dennett describes it much better than I do, and provides a lot of experimental evidence. If nothing else, the experiments he describes will make you see your own consciousness in a new light. I recommend reading the book.
It's so users don't get to see the horror that's the non-JS-ified view of the page before the AMP scripts kick in. Pretty bad reasoning for something so annoying in my book.

Indeed, but this is not a problem for this enhancement specifically. IE11 asks for gzipped files, and the server can still send them when the client doesn't support Brotli, based on the Accept-Encoding header.
The incentives are screwed.

Companies chew up young energetic employees and spit them out when they get used up and burned out.

With their short term and selfish thinking the burned out employee is someone else's problem.
I'm inclined to disagree with that view.

A complete physical understanding of the structure and dynamics of the brain and all of its parts would never indicate some subjective experience of consciousness. We only assume that because we know from our own experience that consciousness exists (for ourselves).

Saying it's not a problem is hand wavy. Go touch a hot stovetop and tell me that consciousness does not have a quality and value all its own, beyond the electrochemical correlates of the experience of pain.

I keep expecting Microsoft to announce a web-based IDE (based on their work with VS Code) that makes use of their Visual Studio Team Services code repository work and extensive set of CI/CD tools to enable "compiling in the browser" a real thing. They've already got a lightweight version of this going with Azure Functions which you can edit (with Intellisense, I belive) and commit right in the browser.
It was cash & stock deal, so presumably the 100M-400M could be worth more given FB stock price.
I am ~60,000 lines of code into this project. My version is NodeJS and Redis and is modular with packages that can be added for GitHub-like organizations, subscriptions using Stripe, and platforms using a full custom integration of Stripe Connect.

My software installs with NPM and may be positioned with your NodeJS app, or your application may be served by something else and any URLs my software doesn't handle proxy your application.

The installation of my software is an NPM install and then creating a two-line JavaScript file to start the app if you're not using NodeJS already.

It is completely API-driven and the API can be used by NodeJS or over HTTP, and has administrator and user branches. The UI has complete account and administrator functionality including creating sessions to impersonate a user for fine-grained controls.

I have complete test coverage, about 2/3 of all code is unit tests that cover internal APIs, the public APIs and the pages.

I am currently finishing some improvements to the Subscriptions and Connect modules and then I will be on version 1.

I'm just about ready to launch this as an open source project, maybe you'd like to have a chat on Skype - benlowry at outlook.com?
As a well traveled non-American, the US justice system truly boggles the mind. Elected judges, jury trials, vengeance-oriented punishments, complete lack of rehabilitation or reintegration, medieval prison conditions... In Iraq, I wouldn't be surprised. In the USA, I'm simply aghast.
The problem of qualia stems from taking certain properties of our perceptions at face value. Like subjectivity, which can't be explained by an appeal to third-person objective facts.

But subjectivity could very well be an illusion. Like how single CPU computers simulate multitasking, the maelstrom of conflicting signals constantly vying for dominance could create an illusion of "inner" and "outer" that we mistake for subjectivity, because we don't have a lens with which to observe this inner process.

See the following for a possible mechanistic explanation of subjectivity: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.0050...
This is getting off topic, but: I read Masterpiece as saying that, if you're going to apply the rules against a Christian baker, you have to apply the same rules against a gay baker (CO Civil Rights ignored complaints from Christians against gay bakers who wouldn't put some Christian message on their cake).

I think this is the right approach. A Christian could go to a gay baker, asking for a cake that quoted a Bible verse that said that homosexuality is a sin. A gay rights convention could ask a Christian baker for a cake that said "Christianity is bigotry". The rules for one have to be the rules for the other.

My preferred answer: Put a gay baker and a Christian baker in a room. Tell them to come up with the rules. The rules will apply to both of them. Give them two hours. You'll get a reasonable proposal. Make that the rules.
Yahoo Messenger will be discontinued
Instagram Stories seem like a logical extension of Instagram itself. Adding a pure photosharing section to Facebook or something like that in order to copy Instagram seems much more redundant and difficult.

To be fair though, the minds of Facebook have much more incentive to find a good way to do so than I do
Yes, this.
FYI: Charity Navigator gives the David Sheldrick trust a great (4of4 Stars) rating. Alas, the IAPF receives too little revenue to be rated, but is clearly a great organization and cause.
I think it could have been the other way around. Media and folks could have compared the growth of Instagram, which would have been a competing product with Facebook, and it could have given good mileage to Instagram, especially after the privacy fiasco and hate towards Facebook, Instagram could have been positioned as a Facebook replacement and there by shooting up it's value further.

It's about time Botswana did something about their elephant numbers. Chobe is practically overrun with elephants, and until now, the government seemed unwilling to keep the numbers under control.

If they can raise money for conservation by combining their culling activities with trophy hunting I think it is a win for everybody. This can turn a pure cost-centre into a revenue generating activity with the income applied to other desperately underfunded efforts like Rhino conservation.

I support hunting for food, but don't support trophy hunting unless it is part of a culling program or part of removing problem animals.

Personally a bit frustrated to see desktop applications go to subscription models where years can now go by without upgrades but I'm forced to continue to pay to use the app.

If I'm unsure on how long before there will be a worthwhile upgrade, am I paying $80 for this app, or $400? Its a bit like being told that you can buy an item but won't know its real cost upfront.

I understand subscription models where they offer something that's ongoing (remove disk, sync, whatever) but I find this model annoying and its forced me to change software I use quite a bit in the last few years (most recently moving off 1password).

Charge me more if you have to, but stop this "keep paying forever" madness.
The real reason behind the non-chronological feed is to keep you longer on the app.

With a chronological feed, you remember where you left off, so when you scroll down to that point you know you’re all caught up and there isn’t more to see.

With a non-chronological feed, you end up scrolling down way more by fear of missing out, giving them the opportunity to show you way more cancer aka ads.

It sounds like you might not be executing the fights properly. You should be expecting to win all the early fights quickly and decisively, so that each of them is profitable by itself. Hard to say what exactly you're doing wrong, but especially early on the key decision should be what you're targeting, and the key bit of manual execution is timing your shots (do not just use autofire).

At least in early fights you'd want to concentrate on the enemy shields or weapons. A typical way to do that with the starting Kestrel might be e.g. to fire a missile on the enemy shield generator (the missile bypasses the shields, takes the shield room to orange damage, and that takes their shields down completely). Then fire the burst laser at the shield room to take them out for a longer time. After that mainly use the burst laser on their weapon room (to keep from taking any damage), but switch back to targeting the shield room if they get it repaired back to orange.

(As for how quickly you go through, you should leave each level exactly one turn before you're caught by the enemy fleet. Taking longer than that is wasting an opportunity to pick up more resources, taking longer means you're ending up in fights that generate no resources.)
Hm really? Try more drugs, like ketamine. Dissociatives in general will give you an interesting perspective on these issues. Personally, I feel conscious in my dreams while sleeping. Also there are gradations of sleep state, such as the one where you don't get high quality sleep because you partially monitor your scary environment.

What's premature about it? It seems to have been hugely successful given we're probably talking to each other from across the world.

One could argue that, epistemically at least, a mathematical monism might be better placed as a foundation, but that doesn't change any of the facts we've discovered based on materialism.

If you're in fact arguing for some sort of dualism, there is little reason to accept it beyond unconvincing philosophical speculation.
There are some games that feature randomness that is partly controlled by the player.

For example, deck building games (dominion etc) let you choose which cards to add to your deck, then cards cycle through deck -> hand -> discard pile, finally shuffling discard pile to become new deck. There is randomness in the order of cards drawn from your deck, but it can be influenced by your decisions of what cards to add to your deck during the game, and you are guaranteed to draw each card in your deck once as you successively draw hands and cycle through your deck, before shuffling.

I am very much enjoying playing "slay the spire", which takes this deck building mechanic and mashes it up into a roguelike. There is additional variability in random encounters, rewards, and what moves enemies do, but part of the fun is figuring out how to best exploit or mitigate the situation you end up in with the hand you are dealt, and trying to tilt the odds of the kinds of hands you'll get in future. Helps that games are usually short (eg win in an hour if everything goes well, die quickly and restart a new run otherwise)

Another example is a game where each player has two moddable d6 : the values of the faces of each players dice can be individually upgraded/replaced , as one of the core mechanics of the game. ("Dice forge"?)

You are the one making that comparison, not me, and that's only for asylum seekers.
