Can you elaborate? Firefox is product of Mozilla which is a non-profit organization. That's why they need donations.
From past experience conducting data analysis on customer survey responses, I can say that you typically get a "barbell distribution" - most responses are either very negative or very positive, with relatively little in the middle. If people were very disappointed or had their expectations exceeded, they tend to actually respond, if the experience is "meh", not so much.
I visited an art museum recently. There were rooms with nice oil paintings, and a couple of rooms with modern art in it.

I was convinced the guards in the modern art section were there to keep the janitors from tossing the modern art into the trash bins.
Inside and Limbo do have puzzles, but they're fairly predictable, mostly just variations on things that have been seen before. They're nice diversions, and have a pleasing graphical style, but the general sentiment of your comment is pretty much correct.

What made Braid so special was that it introduced an entirely new mechanic, explored the entire possible space of puzzles for that mechanic, and explored a bunch of complimentary orthogonal mechanics at the same time.

I'm curious (and fearful) as a naturalized US citizen of former Chinese nationality--is your sort of paranoia and general attribution of this to culture common? The man arrested was a US citizen (and would have had to give up Chinese citizenship to become one) but would have obviously looked Chinese.

If you had to work with me, would you actively try to obfuscate your work because you believe at a cultural level that I'm keen to steal?
How I've come to view math is: all math is made up, parts of math seem to correspond with nature (physics), and can be used to build things (engineering).
All banks in India post your card by mail to you & send a one-time use PIN as SMS on your registered mobile number. To activate card after you receive, you have to use bank's own network ATM, insert card & type that SMS PIN & then create a new PIN.

Some banks enforce to change this PIN yearly on date Card was issued, & some others enforce that you can not use 3+ repetitive digits and/or your last N PINs, n being most commonly 10.
It is a theft, plain and simple.

Ten seconds is hardly real-time, that's how long Fusion takes too. You can't easily adjust the camera view when you have to wait ten seconds between adjustments.

That said, I think Fusion shows you a really low resolution image in real time, if I remember correctly.

How i got cure of my herpes virus
I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the last four years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that I would be healed someday.This disease started to circulate all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, a few weeks ago I came on search on the internet if I could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (Hepatitis B and Cancer) by this Man Dr. Silver and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so I wrote to Dr. Silver telling him about my (HERPES Virus) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later I started experiencing changes all over me as the Dr. assured me that I have cured, after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if I have been finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends my advice is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can email Dr. Silver (drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com) sir I am indeed grateful for the help I will forever recommend you to my friends!!! with your lovely Email Address ( drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com

Neural Arithmetic Logic Units – Learning Numbers & Arithmetic End-To-End
When people moved from palatial caves to cramped apartment blocks it didn't suddenly become ok to take your neighbour's favourite pointy stick.

There are lots of arguments for rethinking how intellectual property works, 'look at all those people' is probably not one of the good ones.
The reason you are being downvoted is that it is also not ok to harass women outside of a nightclub.. or in a nightclub.. or anywhere fucking else.

If they are baiting, well perhaps this a pathological response to constant lifelong harassment. Perhaps not being harassed for sex from the time they are pre-pubescent will actually change the dynamic. If people get off on the give and take of sexually threatening roleplay in a public setting, perhaps they need to check themselves before worrying if that 'right' will be taken away.

Law definitely does not have to be clear (show me a law that is black and white). Once again, the important thing to remember here, and the issue men seem to have a problem with, is that this kind of change does indeed shift the power dynamic. Suck it up, sweetheart!

From Burn-Out to $100M in ARR with Jason Cohen of WP Engine
I think your post illustrates well why both languages are important to have. I also work in the Business Intelligence - space, but my job is usually more focussed on setting up data pipelines and developing a small specialized web app here and there. So if I'm already doing that, and I do analysis on top of that, of course I'm going to pick Python, because I can stay in the same ecosystem and I already have a better feeling for how things are going to work. But this wouldn't make sense at all for someone who generally works more on strategy and decision making and wants to dig a little deeper from time to time.

Although when people ask me for a recommendation on what to learn, and they're actually interested in programming and building things themselves, I always recommend them to at least give Python a shot and see if they like it, as it then also gives them the possibility to do a lot of other things with the language.
That’s amazing! I’ve got the same combination on my luggage!

Puzzles in Limbo are definitely simpler and more straightforward than in Braid, but Braid is also more than just a puzzle game.

To me, the feeling OP is describing when it comes to the first rewind in Braid is similar to the first few bizarre deaths in Limbo: Surprising, and it leads me to re-evaluate the way I approach the game.

Jaron Lanier: “Facebook turned internet into something evil”
I agree with you. Apple, while being an enormous company, will likely be unseated if (or perhaps when) the iPhone ceases being as popular as it is. Google, Facebook, Amazon (maybe to a lesser extent, maybe not) seem to have become more like vines clinging to the fabric of society. They have their fingers in everything and know everything about us.
Deliberate practice sounds fun but is very vague. It means focused time but during your reading best way to defuse is just close your eyes and ask yourself "does this make sense?". Why? Well this is a Darwin technique used in academia to find non intuitive insights while you are walking.

Some people find reading boring from TV, YouTube video. But in my opinion videogame are the most distracting things that can compete with books. They all have same 4 aspects.

First of all, they all can be winnable. A videogame and when you reach the end of the book.

Second of all, videogame all have clear goals or missions. You can do the same just write your goals smartly.

Third of all, they are novel challenging. Some videogame are so hard other so easy is boring. Usually the one in the middle you lose yourself in time. Before picking a good read get a glimpse from the summary. Pick what you like and also challenges you.

And they all provide feedback that shape you. In books the best way to get feedback is just Recalling after each chapter. You'll find you recall the things you are used to so challenge yourself to go back.

Also a great video : https://youtu.be/D3nZx2ZxzSc
Tor doesn't pay ICANN $185k per year for .onion

A single TLD could reasonably be added to IANA's registry of special suffixes, since it wouldn't be part of the DNS hierarchy that ICANN is responsible for they'd have no claim on $185k or any other amount of money.

But a parallel hierarchy is never going to get that, so basically this choice ensures an up-hill battle, presumably mostly so that like other parallel hierarchies its proponents can make hollow claims about "owning" names that actually are meaningless, it's like buying land claims on Mars.
Recent comparison of pwsh to bash - finding out if you have the compromised eslint plugin. It's a bit apples-to-oranges, also I would have used 'find -exec {}' in the bash example, but it's still interesting:

bash (by Feross):

find . -type d -name "eslint-scope" -print0 | xargs -n 1 -0 -I % sh -c "(cat %/package.json | npx json version) && echo '(at %)'"

pwsh:

$results = @{}
ls -recurse -filter "eslint-scope" | foreach {
$file = "${_}\package.json"
$version = cat $file | convertfrom-json | select -ExpandProperty version $results.Add($file,$version)
}
echo $results | format-list

I quite like the Powershell version, even though the syntax is unfamiliar. $results is a real hash object, the JSON tools are built in and formatting is up to you (you could have it output Excel or markdown if you wanted). I don't really like '_' as the iteration variable but otherwise I prefer it.
When judging this law please keep in mind that Paris (and some other cities in France) already have the problem of disappearing women from streets and bars in some districts/suburbs. There are various newspaper articles on this, just google it. I personally know women that complain about street harassment on their every day commute to/from work even during the day. Those people approach them with something similar to "hey beautiful woman" and walk next to them for a few meters. Those women feel obviously very insecure because you never know upfront whether they give up after a few meters or not. Maybe this law helps them, it's worth a try in my opinion.

And to be quite frank: This problem is mostly with immigrants.
Ask HN: Is it better to join a existing platform or create a new one
We want to create agriculture solutions and thinking about creating our own platform to have better governance on the direction it's going. On the other side there are already big players on the market, that have millions in budget and a sales structure that we cannot match. It would make sens to partner with them and sell our products on their platform.

Well, my grandgrandfather always told that those were worst Chinese inventions:

With gunpowder, came standing armies made of conscripts.

With paper, came institutionalized bureaucracy.

With money, came central banks effectively taxing every user of paper currency by printing more of it.

A modern state was made by them: conscript armies, professional bureaucrats, and central bankers

It were firearms that made "a lot of farmers with guns" a more effective fighting force than an army of professionals trained from childhood.

The "manufacturing rate" of professional bureaucracy was greatly limited by amount of gifted and trusted cadres, it was much of a matter of talent, and personality. The power of state greatly increased by eliminating the "broken phone" factor with written edicts, and allowing to hire and train less select people for bureaucratic work.

And for money, metal coin money was quite expensive to made, and it could've been smelted to make real goods - a thing of value, unlike fiat currency

Shame there is no water though. Unless you like it with added salt.

Same goes for the land, the 'topsoil' that is left also comes with added salt.

The place is living on borrowed time, an environmental catastrophe unfolds in the news headlines and before our eyes. Only the ingenuity of man can prevent the place going back to the default 'Aboriginal' carrying capacity. The government can't magically buy feed for the farmers to give to their 'livestock' forever.

I think one reason people may not readily like R, is because it is a functional language. Most programmers are comfortable with object oriented programming rather than the functional style. It takes a while to get used to it.

I have seen people who started programming with R, and they get fluent in it pretty fast.
These conversations, which appear every time a post appears on HN that talks about what a great place Toronto is (along with many other places in Canada), make me sad.

What came to my mind was "a number is where to stop counting up. e.g. I'll walk for five blocks. I'll eat ten jelly-beans. I'll throw the ball twenty times. Infinity mean never ever stopping."

but that's much the same as "It's the smallest number you can't count to."
Vacation Search Engine Offers a Unique Solution to Travelers
Vivere.travel, an AI robot-like online travel inspiration platform has launched and it aims to help travelers find and plan their perfect vacation.

According to a study by Expedia Media Solutions - potential travelers, on average, browse through 38 websites before booking their stay. This feature by the unique travel site Vivere.travel, aims to reduce the number of websites people browse (for inspiration) before booking. Thus, increasing convenience for the traveler, and decreasing the stress of finding, and planning a vacation.

Even in the middle of summer, there are plenty of opportunities to travel, but the problem for many people is to choose where and when they want to travel. The functionality of Vivere allows these potential travelers to find the perfect destination for them based on their preferences, time constraints and destination requirements.

How does it work?

Once the user lands on the website, they are prompted to enter a few of their interests, departure airport and when they would like to go.

The AI algorithm works in the background to suggest an exclusive travel guide tailored to the specific interests and preferences entered by the user. It will then rank destinations based on which are more adequate for that specific user and the preferences they input before.

In addition, it introduces the user to new destinations which were probably not yet on their radar - based also on the interests of the user.

Through comprehensive travel information, travel guides and imagery, Vivere familiarizes the user with the location and compels them to take a decision faster. Then, with higher involvement of the users and the use of the AI algorithm, the platform develops and learns continuously and recognizes the needs and wants of travelers in order to improve the personalized quality of the content.
I love the idea. I am working on something similar. Good luck to you :)
Yeah, if people don’t like immigrants moving to their city they should move away.

That’s a well thought out position.
There definitely is, but at the same time, you need money to have a comfortable life for you, your parents, your partner and your children (and then their children).

The West has also relied on China as a source of cheap assembly labour. And there are broader political considerations; essentially allowing China to "buy in" to the global economy rather than developing in hostile isolation. And as people have found out with the soybeans tariffs, trade wars go in both directions.
That's not how it's presented in real life.

Read something like this:

https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/scrum

All about what has to be done, with a formal role of scrum master.

Phrases like these brook no adaptability:

On each day of the sprint, all team members should attend a daily Scrum meeting, including the ScrumMaster and the product owner

on the first day of a sprint and during the planning meeting

Another activity in Scrum project management is the sprint retrospective at the end of each sprint. The whole team participates in this meeting

Management take Scrum as a set of rules to follow and then use it to micro-manage everyone. Scrum masters end up as middle managers. Daily stand-ups turn in to daily justify your worth.
It's so extremely overdone that it becomes a category all of its own. Awesome.

how does one find companies with this sort of pay scale? (edit: maybe I misunderstood what you meant by "upper end")
John McCarthy wrote about how future generations would welcome us storing immensely valuable VOCs and complex chemicals and metals underground for them. In all seriousness, waste stream management is like education or healthcare: it's only a net cost if you believe the externalities aren't part of your economic model. If you go full lifecycle, it's jobs, and revenue, and adds to the economy in lots of useful ways.

Turning down radiation storage is like saying no to free money. We should all welcome better long-term storage and compete to host it.

To restate the point that a lot of people are making here, engineering is about trade offs. If it wasn't it would be science.

If the requirements for something are highly specialised, you're only going to make only a small number of them and you have a hard deadline to do it by then you shouldn't be wasting time on mass production considerations.

That's a trade off and I think they dealt with it correctly.

The AK-47 is built to be mass producible and reliable in the field. It's a great success in those terms.

The U2 and SR-71 are build to different criteria but are also great successes.

A cute story, except that it's not historically accurate; conscript armies are extremely old, bureaucracy can be dated to the clay tablet era, early Chinese money was made of metal ("knife money" etc) and the history of inflationary paper disasters is usually traced to the assignats of France.
China stealing German/European technology is a common topic here in Germany. HN is just a relatively US focused site, so it isn't discussed as often here.

I think when you really need performance it's a great example of a time to start looking at alternative Python implementations, CPython just isn't the best choice for a lot of tasks that actually have processing speed requirements.
You are correct. Counting here changes its meaning.

The correct form should be "all the numbers reachable by counting in finite time".

E.g. you can count up to 100 in a minute. Up to a million in a month[1]. Up to a billion in quite a long, but finite time. You take all such numbers, and you say that a number named Omega comes just after all of them (just like million and one comes just after all numbers that are less than or equal to ine million).

Omega is your first infinte ordinal - or, simply, infinity.

And now you're counting in a new way.

There is occasional US technology theft as well, but you hear about it a lot less. It's kind of embedded in the Boeing/Airbus conflict, as well as lots of minor issues like taking out US patents for non-Western traditional medicine.

>I think the most productive move that folks critical of Wikipedia can make is to create an alternative.

Would not work.

There are a lot of alternative wikis. Almost any forum or web has one (and they are like a deserted city). Most of them (if not all) would fall into two types: The private wikis restricted to a small topic and paid by the owner of the brand; and the wikis covering any topic and supported by volunteers

The first group are created to keep control over a product (films, music, superheros) and promote a fanbase. This is supported by the owner of the brand normally. If done by fans will be quickly closed if damages the image of the product in any way, so is free to say anything only if this helps to sell the product.

The second ones are created normally as a parody of wikipedia. Treating all topics for comedic effect and shock value. A new something-pedia would be instantly classified as parody and ravaged by trolls, or would be jailed inside the boundaries of some very specialised topic.
