Is Vivaldi Open Source?

https://help.vivaldi.com/article/is-vivaldi-open-source/

Short answer: no.

Long answer: no, but...

Vivaldi is not made available under one
unified open source license. It does contain
the Chromium source code with changes made
to allow the HTML/CSS/JS based UI to run.
All changes to the Chromium source code
are made available under a BSD license and can
be read by anyone on vivaldi.com/source/.
Details in this regard are explained in
the the README and LICENSE files within the package.

In addition, our UI code is written in plain,
accessible code for those who read HTML, CSS and JS.
This means that for all practical purposes
the Vivaldi source code is available for audit.

Vivaldi also contains third party code. Licenses
for these parts can be found in the source
package and in the installed browser by
navigating to vivaldi://credits
Some say that bonobo apes are layed back and less aggressive than chimps, but others say that in captivity they behave very differently than in the wild. Go figure ...

Great opportunity to work with a well funded start-up and create some awesome financial algorithms.
> What relevance does that have?

It shows, at least in this contrived example, that the information is present in the individuals and not in the brain of the classifier.

I don't understand your last point. Is it wrong to say that I could extremely accurately classify blue and brown eyed people?

WhatsApp didn't destroy a village. People did, like they have always done when they've believed some random threat to be true, without checking the facts or doing some investigation. All that technology, be it WhatsApp or any other platform, has done is made it easier and quicker for such rumors to spread.

What's required is a government initiative like on the lines of this educational video in this article. [1] There's no point trying to control WhatsApp or block it. If not WhatsApp, something else will take its place, and it'd be like an endless game of whack-a-mole. Hope the government focuses on awareness initiatives more than anything else. In India, we don't need further censorship, Internet shutdowns and such. We have too much of those already. (I know this statement will offend many people, but please examine facts first, starting with a search online)

I have something in common: I find it much easier to write comments, or stackoverflow answers, because I'm not writing into a blank page and I have something to engage with.

I've genuinely considered trying to automatically extract my top N HN comments (I have 36k karma), roughly categorise them, and turn them into a book with extra commentary and thematic linking. I'd call it "Silicon Valley on ten upvotes a day".

I've also considered trying to write a definitive long-form answer for all those people on electronics.stackexchange who get confused by electrons and current flow.
The difference is that these agencies never even bother with a warrant to store all of our data, and claim to not "collect" anything all while using algorithms to conduct mass surveillance at a scale far beyond the KGB's wildest dreams. And when they do want to spy on an individual more directly, it's done through gag orders and secret courts with no accountability to the public.

Digital data is actually afforded even fewer protections than your example of letters in the mail.
Vivaldi ships with a load of preselected bookmarks. Mainly big news sites and some online stores. It seems like there is some affiliate marketing going on there. Some of these bookmarks link to a vivaldi.com page that redirects you to a siteplug.com page which again redirects you to the actual page.

Example bookmark: AliExpress -> https://vivaldi.com/bk/aliexpresscom-us -> http://ww2.siteplug.com/fly?${tracking params} -> https://best.aliexpress.com/?${more tracking params}

Siteplug seems to be the service with they use to monetize the traffic. Notice that the redirect link doesn't offer a https version. Neither does their website [0] that also just shows me a dead bird on most pages [1].

Offtopic: huydotnet, would you consider adding RSS to your blog? I'd like to subscribe, but couldn't find a link anywhere, including the source code of the page.

It seems like you're generating pages from Org mode. I've recently discovered ox-hugo, maybe it'll be of interest to you too. I wrote about my setup here https://rakhim.org/2018/09/moved-from-jekyll-to-hugo-and-ox-...
Good question, but no. For example the Klein bottle or real projective plane are closed surfaces containing no boundary.

Incidentally the Mobius strip need not have a edge; you can leave out the boundary circle at the cost of having a non-compact space. This is exactly analogous to the difference between the closed and open intervals: [0, 1] vs (0, 1).

In fact the projective plane can be obtained by taking a disc and glueing its boundary to that of the Mobius strip, which makes the two boundaries "cancel".
Reality includes hundreds of generations of oppression and subjugation of women by social structures

Anyone analyzed whether alpha male attitudes have impacted female evolution?

Yeah, actually; other primates have killed alpha males and punished any that show authoritarian attitudes. Afterward they developed much more egalitarian social structures.

But human men can’t quite grasp their lack of value to propagating the species, generally speaking. And resort to pointing at one contrived accomplishment after another (ooh good for you at writing a lot of code in a gamed society that has propped you up, James!)

It’s social welfare after generations of violent oppression of others that’s given human males a leg up. But sure they do it all on their own, those precious little snowflakes.
You should write for the NYT.
That's source available, not open source.

You can view the source, but you can't contribute to it, create forks, etc.

Source available is one of the prerequisites for software to be considered open source, but not the only one.
I disagree with the premise that some unelected individuals should control such a disproportionate amount of ressources, and therefore power, yes.
Firefox speed was always holding me back. With the new Chrome update, Chrome became slower for me, tried FF (hadn't since Quantum) and it's now actually faster than Chrome for me. So I switched :)

OK, I exaggerate a little!

What are the benefits of Opera over chrome?
This is a tuned version of open-source Chromium with extra ergonomics. Made by the original Opera dev since they split a few years ago. Twenty years track record in making fast and secure stuff.

Why just use one browser???

I always have four or more and Vivaldi is #1 or #2 but FF is my mail/chat because of the containers
Quick, someone make a chess board with squares that are all the same color and use shapes inside them to differentiate, like a circle and a rhombus. And the chess pieces should be all the same color and same height too. In order to differentiate, they all have post-it notes on them, that say their team and role. The players choose their team name, and agree on roles names. Then the game can start. Don't forget to flip a coin to decide who starts.

I don't mean to make fun or provoke, but I think we sometimes go too far when it comes to PC etc.
Yes, where are the people saying "this is the truth but I don't have to like it"?

There are these wholesale worldviews that people buy into. As a less offensive example, apparently you can't be leftist and not believe in anthropogenic climate change, or conservative and believe in it.
What realistically has changed with the relationships? Renegotiate a few trade deals, chastise countries for (probably) not meeting guidelines they agreed to, slap countries on the wrist when they try to side-step international trade norms...these aren't earth-shattering things, and have all happened in the past. The only difference was that there was not the hysterical air in the media surrounding POTUS.

It's cheating because it was done on a computer!

It's a fairly common attitude that creating with a computer is somehow inferior, from Tron missing out on a special effects Oscar because computer graphics was 'cheating', to pretty much every designer being told at some point 'it can't be that hard, it's all done on a computer right?'

Expected better from HN though.
And how is this related to Vivaldi in particular? How is it different from any other software and service out there? You don't know what websites do with your client data (fingerprint, extensions, etc), what cookies they write & read and who are they selling that data to. If there are no laws preventing them from doing such BS, all you can do is trust, believe and hope they do the right thing (GDPR is a move in the right direction here). Having a basic understanding of the internet and tracking helps, using proper tools to help yourself is even better (cookie manager, uMatrix, uBlock and alike).

Sure, but just like there's a difference between "deliberation" and "a fight", there's also a difference between "hmm, there's more to do" and "we regret the thinking we invested so far".
The first thing to cross my mind when I saw this was XSS vulnerabilities. Presumably there's nothing to stop this page running JS?
You're missing my point -- what you said the law says and what the laws says are different. You're maximum/minimum argument relates to the guy above your post. That additional option of a 2% figure changes the dynamic of how the fines work completely.
"16%" does not appear in that paper, and it's arguing based on inherited chromosomes: inherently that's going to be confounded by deaths in childhood or childbirth, etc.
I wouldn't want to use a language that I cannot predict how memory allocation would work. I'd like to have every inch of performance in my disposal for the tasks I am interested in (video games, simulations, data mining).

I quite like this short piece as a way to explain why things like exiting early and not nesting loops are important: https://medium.com/@matryer/line-of-sight-in-code-186dd7cdea...
It means that is was not actually "coming soon". It said that, just to see if many people are interested in that feature. If there were many people interested, development of that feature would start. If not many people were interested, I guess the text would have been just removed.
Makes sense?
I'm no expert but language shapes how we interact and perceive the world.

The jury is still out on that one, because language relativity is still a hypothesis, not a theory.

I personally don't believe it.
Well it's a good thing that men and women can judge each other on more than one axis then isn't it?

(one's trash is another's treasure etc. by whose ranking is one in the top or bottom half? hope you catch my drift.)
I would be more convinced in their "we respect and protect your right to privacy" if there wasn't a "we use cookies to enhance your experience" banner at the top.
> I found that Vivaldi has is the number of extensions is basically 0 (please correct me if I am wrong)

Vivaldi uses addons from Chrome store. I never had any issues just clicking the "ADD TO CHROME" button.
For US law on this subject, check out the Third Party Doctrine. There's a good article by Orin Kerr on it, which is a defense of the doctrine but also goes over its fundamentals(https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article...)
> In this way, the creation of an Earth ecosystem without microbial diseases might be possible

I'm not a microbiologist at all, but I don't think so. If big organisms can be mirrored, so will microbes. You need various good bacteria so already have to mirror those. If you've got the mirrored organisms with mirrored DNA and RNA, it's pretty certain virii and bacteria will form from it at some point.

On another note, it's a shame we don't have a 4th dimension that we can rotate ourselves through to mirror ourselves, that would be interesting!
It's not related to Vivaldi in particular, it's related to the fact that you must give a blind trust to all non open-source browser you decide to use.
In addition to what you noted, Brave has an integrated Ad-blocking / Tracker blocking software enabled by default + an integrated way to compensate content producers for the incurring loss of revenue.

Vivaldi has some neat features like Tab stacks and Split screen.
How about instead you try to distinguish between a Tutsi and a Hutu, or a Serb vs a Croat? Because in both cases wars of mass murder have recently been fought over those differences.
Interesting that he wants to keep it all digital and prefers it not made tangible.

Seems like it would be much harder to make any sort of living from your work by limiting the format to just digital.

Really cool nonetheless.
> PNG filters each horizontal line of the image data before running it through Deflate, with a pre-processing step.

Yes, as a means of making the data fed into the compressor repetitive enough to benefit from the compression algorithm.

> So, no, a general purpose compression algorithm isn't very good for image data on its own.

That's not what I said.
Larry Summers Calls Fed Bank Stress Test Results ‘Absurd’
It's downright dangerous. Putting major decisions directly in the hands of the people requires well informed citizens and balanced, independent media coverage. While it's not a problem exclusive to the US, judging by recent political developments and voting outcomes I'd say a large number of people are particularly prone to manipulation and populist narratives.
Developer mindshare is important for the success of a browser and, right now, if I go to 'caniuse' there are all of the main browsers plus a few that have no interest to me - old I.E., 'Opera Mini' and so on.

For Vivaldi to get a little bit further they need to become a first class browser that developers think about, test with and talk about.
It wasn't Trumps administration that openly spied on Merkel... and she didn't do anything.

Well at risk of waking a tiger, I think his view was one of intentionality.
Whereas he did not say it was because it was made with a computer, that sort of feels like putting words in his post.

I think cool generative art is the space stuff like no man's sky, and spore. I know it's maybe considered low brow but it was interesting to me.

Eye color is a social construct because color is a social construct.

The presence of the genes for coloration is the only unambiguous thing, and even then it's vulnerable to all sorts of anomalies in gene expression (heterochromia, chimericism etc)

This is one of the properties that makes an idea a worthy research direction.
Single workers shouldn't pick up the slack for their married colleagues (2017)
I'd like to re-emphasise sanderjd's point not to focus too much on reading books. I myself went from doing a PhD and a lectureship in mathematics (with some coding here and there) to a decent software engineering job in a smallish company. I've learnt everything on the fly by reading code, searching stack overflow, trying stuff out and coding alongside others. The great thing coming out of a PhD is not just that you have to be pretty smart to have done it: you now know you can grasp almost any aspect of human knowledge with sufficient brain racking. This is a vastly underrated piece of self-awareness which enables one to stay humble and tenacious.
They have a page [1] asking the question "Is Vivaldi Open Source?" which does not answer in the affirmative. Instead, it says "for all practical purposes the Vivaldi source code is available for audit", which is quite a different thing.

Assuming you can include JS in the file, I imagine it would only run if the file was being parsed as HTML at the moment, not when parsed as a JPEG. That's the main point here: this file can be interpreted in two ways, but the data in it is treated very differently and has different effects depending on the way it's currently interpreted.
Quilette is a highly partisan libertarian-right publication and you'd be well advised to treat it as trolling.
Yes it is a good thing, as far as my opinion is concerned.
I exited facebook too. Unfortunately, I started using Instagram instead.
I think context is king with these articles. It’s not a sneak peak into the lives of the wealthy, it’s a peak into the very vip section of a casino. The article itself is written mainly to sell the drama and the sleaze, and it’s purposedly focusing on the worst bits.

It’s fascinating, sure, but I think it’s also kind of useless informationwise, when you take the context into mind. If anything I think it’s more sad than sickening. I doubt those rich bastards are very happy, and no one is helping them find a better path in life. In fact the casino seem to have build an environment that specifically enables their bad behavior because it’s profitable.

Yes, but those are the preconditions to user adoption.
OK, but the primary reason billionaires are so rich is from running or founding companies that produce much more value than the billionaires extract. Take away the idea that a successful founder can keep maybe 1% (at most, probably a vast overestimate) of the value they generate, and you'll have vastly fewer founders unless you find another way to motivate them.

In terms of power, ideally there would be a clean separation between money and political power. Some countries are better at this than others. Extremely wealthy people can wield a lot of power internationally, and that's bad. But them having more resources is not a bad thing in my mind unless they can use those resources to hurt people. As far as I'm aware, most don't.

So far, nothing. TSLA is closing in on a 1 year low and there doesn't seem much indication that this news is having a massive effect on the stock price. I don't think anybody really doubted that they'd be able to sell a lot of top of the range Model 3's on release. The questions now are will these sales hold steady once the pre-order back log clears out and what is happening with the $35k model.

Personally I hope they succeed on both the production and price front and that I can one day actually walk into my local Tesla dealer and buy a Model 3 for $35k.
And UI is better than chrome IMO. Built-in dark mode rules.

>The following paper may not match our usual standards...

My opinion of the declining quality of scientific and especially mathematical papers is different. I used to work in medical and molecular imaging. Whatever we did obviously required FDA approval. One engineer, a good one, but engineers aren't usually very detail oriented when it comes to "getting the math right" so to speak, referenced a paper in some of the documentation to some code. Long story short, the paper had been peer reviewed, but was riddled with material errors. I caught the issue in our internal review process, and removed the incorrect code and reimplemented the feature correctly. (Was highly annoyed at having to essentially write my own paper for documentation and FDA submission).

Here's the point though, we're already putting out too many poor quality papers. (And calling them "poor quality" is being charitable.) Why is the mathematics community being pressured to go even lower quality?

I took the liberty of reading this "paper", and there's no meat in it. Put it in the Intelligencer, or in Wired, or on HN, or Reddit or whatever. But let's try to get actual journals cleaned up. The way this should to work is that people like the engineer at my company, should be able to cite a peer reviewed scientific paper from a peer reviewed journal. (Or a mathematics paper, in that particular case). But right now that's an unsafe practice where the safety of a human life is potentially a concern. The quality problem is out of hand right now. (And it's not just the "paper" that is the subject of this article, low quality papers abound out there, believe me). My question is, why are we intentionally asking to make the issue worse?
