> As far as antidepressants go, [buproprion is] in class all by itself.

I'd like to emphasize that this is literally a true statement. It's what's called an atypical antidepressant [0] because it doesn't act in a way similar to other antidepressants.

> Many of the employees calling former colleagues also ask for advice on the best way to leave Facebook, according to multiple former employees. This is because the company categorizes departing employees under one of two tags: "regrettable" or "non-regrettable" attrition.
Being labeled as "non-regrettable" is the equivalent of getting blacklisted by Facebook and prevented from ever working there again. For anyone in Silicon Valley who wishes to work at a top company, getting a banned by Facebook cuts down job opportunities drastically.

Not working at Facebook again is fine, but why should another company know whether the employee left in a “regrettable” manner, unless the person did something really bad or illegal? This seems like an egregious failure of privacy and an unfair branding of people.
DevTools are lacking and they broke a ton of add ons with the API update (with no simple way to side load.) I can't use it. I tried again about five months ago and, one two machines, pages would stutter as I scrolled. Not worth my time to mess around with.

I think you're taking my openness to the idea as advocacy. I don't have any stronger a belief in it than your "I see your point now" remark implies. I'm saying I'm open to the idea that there's a problem in the evidentiary standard on pragmatic grounds, and am waiting to see if the movement has any detailed suggestions for a new standard. I'm _not_ claiming that I myself have the details for this new standard, and as I already said, I tend to be a bit of classical-liberal absolutist, so it's not my preferred policy.

I'm simply trying to be charitable to a viewpoint that I'm not personally a fan of; none of your questions about the details of how this would be implemented are relevant to me.

> If the degree has any significance, how is this different than mob-rule Justice?

As I said, I'm talking about in non-justice-system institutions. I don't see why you think the choices here are "use the same bar as criminal justice" and "mob rule". Do you think the civil case bar I mentioned is "mob-rule" justice? Given that there are bars for assigning guilt that are even more stringent than "beyond a reasonable doubt", what prevents those from being the ideal and what makes you refrain from calling BARD "mob rule"? The binary that you're framing this in is not one whose existence I accept; in fact, I don't even think it's logically consistent.

> And you're claiming many/most people already agree to this standard?

Yes, at an intuitive level, I think many/most people agree that Cosby and Weinstein were guilty, despite not being convictable because they don't meet the criminal justice bar (excluding the one accuser that actually was able to take Cosby to court).
Absolutely. I'm not saying you can't build it, I'm just saying that P(correct security | correct multi user) > P(correct security) because you already have an isolation mechanism in place.
Yeah, it's impressive because it's differentiating the language - it doesn't require putting 'tf.' in front of everything and hoping tf has the function you want.
In this particular case it doesn't seem too bad. Someone's name and address are not (or should not be) particularly sensitive information. Passwords are, and that's why best practices only keep a one-way function of the password ("encrypted" implies that it can be decrypted to plaintext, which should not be the case).

Luckily you can sign up for Quora with any name and email. You have to assume that no matter how hard a site tries to protect your info, it will get compromised sooner or later. The best they can do is what Quora does: demand as little info about you as they need.
How did you find out they did that? Just following tech news?
> I type in "git", and I get: "usage: git" - If you're used to using shell tools, then sure you can make sense of it, If you're not, then you're done.

That's part of the test, to see if they're familiar with the command line and if they know how to open the man page. It's trying to weed out the people that can only work in the confines of an IDE and gui tools. That said I wouldn't expect anyone to know git from the man page, I would however expect anyone for a senior role to be familiar with what is a de-facto industry standard.

And source control in general is a great topic for interviews on both sides. Many devs (and companies) don't know what a branch is or what you'd use one for. Many companies make it hard/impossible to create feature branches, either by policy or crazy mono-repo stuff. Even their choice of SCM says a great deal about them, I'd avoid anyone that uses clear case or TFS.

I love using Firefox as my daily driver, and I can always pop open chrome if I really have to. What kind of life do you lead where your browser needs to have CORS constantly disabled?
In addition to what others mentioned, hackers usually got very high patience, it pays over time.
They clarify that the passwords were indeed hashed and salted. "Encrypted" is just there to help the non-technical audience understand their passwords aren't exactly leaked in plaintext.

No details on the hashing scheme used though, so we don't really know how easy it'll be for the attacker to brute force the password hashes.
Well yeah because that is stupid.
Nice write up. But I want to point out that interest rates are leading indicators of the economy, it doesn't follow the economy.

It's why the inverted yield curve is one of the widely looked at indicators for future economic health.

So the yield curve inversion isn't saying the economy right now isn't doing well. What it is saying is that the market ( or a large percentage of institutional investors ) think the economy won't do well in the future.

As you noted, it's only a slight inversion of only the 3 and 5 year, so it isn't that alarming for the moment.

Just as important as the yield curve is what the FED is going to do with interest rates. If they consistently raise it every quarter for the foreseeable future, then the odds of a recession will increase considerably.
Remind yourself that you deserve to take up space as much as many people. Confidence and owning your space are some of the most manly traits. When you're confident, you can also be ok with whatever amount of alone time you need.

Yeah, I tag every email address I give to a vendor, and I have for years. It has helped me discover a number of breaches.

The address I gave Quora isn't in the hands of spammers yet, which is a mildly good sign. But normally it takes a while for an address to get out to the bottom-feeders, so we'll see.
They don't mention the hash function anywhere so I'm assuming MD5.
Perhaps because Chrome is the new IE?

Google has consistently pushed Chrome and profits from it.
Thank you for presenting an alternative view. What I didn't like about the person you're replying to, is how they made a bunch of assumptions about Google's employees, and their motivations, and passed it on as a fact.
I briefly had an Echo, and one thing my friends and I found funny was to have it play some annoying song, and then call out "Alexa, volume 10" because once it got that loud, the only way to make it stop was to go over and manually adjust the volume, as it couldn't hear anyone trying to turn it down.
Can't recommend FastMail enough- it has aliases which automatically forward mail from xyz@alias.yourdomain.com to your alias@yourdomain.com - This is very similar in practice to the + trick with gmail[1] but with the benefit that your email addresses will pass all stupid Javascript email validation rules.

I agree about the performance on OS X. I still find myself trying to figure out which tab is pegging the CPU and about:performance is not helpful.

Another nice feature Safari has that I rely on is "show all tabs". Yes there are various "works in progress" trying to replicate the old tab groups / panorama functionality but I find them lacking or incomplete. Mozilla really hasn't done anything to improve the many tabs UX. Even Chrome might get something like tab groups:

Looks like they find it less immoral than manipulating people into believing fake religious stuff.

Curious what use cases you have for disabling CORS?

Is it for 3rd party domains and APIs or response that you control? Either way, controlling it in browser doesn't sound like the right way.
It took me a few rounds to get a non-placeholder image, hopefully they flesh out the rest soon! None of the images I got were for hybrids, but some of the descriptions over placeholder image sounded interesting.
Session Buddy and The Great Suspender. I have ~800 tabs open in Chrome right now on this PC. I haven't used Tree Style Tab, but Chrome's tab-shrinking is actually better for lots of tabs (up to a point) than Firefox's tab-scrolling. I have yet to try tab suspension extensions in Firefox, so there may be a workflow that works for me there (Chrome is not ideal).
Well, it would help if they would resolve the serious quality issues. I wrote a webpage the other day, fully standards compliant (at least as I read it), and Firefox got it completely wrong (one of the bugs, three days old and not triaged[0]) in a way Ed.

I still have open bugs in Firefox from 2012. Firefox is riddled with layout and scripting bugs. I don't understand how they can afford all of this experimental development and "outreach" stuff, when the core product is basically just accumulating bugs which they will never address. Their tracker is full of untriaged bugs from as far back as a decade.

Nah, all of these are real points from my life. I live in Seattle and live close enough to work that I can walk. When I moved up here I sold my car and as part of that, I looked into buying a decent bike to use as my main transportation and came to the conclusion that it just wasn't worth it.

My original plan was a mix of walking and the bus, but now it's more walking and transportation sharing services (Uber/Lyft, Car2Go, and Lime).

Also, I'd like to give a rebuttal to a few of your answers.

> Hang the bike up with a hook.

I'm not saying I can't do that, but it would definitely be inconvenient. A mix of small elevators, an odd apartment layout (only one wall we could put a hook on), and a girlfriend who is picky about the decorations in our apartment makes that idea less than ideal.

> They make clothes specifically to be worn in the rain. Getting a little wet won't hurt ya.

You are right, but you still run into the issue of needing to plan ahead. If I leave my house on bike and it's sunny but it starts to rain later I'm going to get soaked. As you said, that won't kill me, but if I'm going from a bar to a party at a friends house, it would suck to show up soaked. Having the option to go from point A to B on bike and then B to C in a Lyft is a nice option to have.

> That, I agree! Goodness, that's a lot of traveling.

Hahaha agree with you there, I'm exhausted. This isn't my norm though, just had a friends birthday, a family event, and work travel happen to be back to back to back.

Just to kind of wrap my point up, I'm not trying to petition against people owning bikes. There are a lot of people who it makes sense for and if Bird/Lime weren't a thing, I would probably be one of them.

If I had no other options, I could definitely make it work, but for me, it's more convenient and less expensive to rent one when I need it.
This is why I hate companies that force you to sign up to gain access to content. I do not want that relationship. Sooner or later those systems will be legacy and then maintaining them will be a pain. Bitrot will set in and sooner or later there will be a breach.

One new development is that you used to be able to get your invoices mailed via snail mail. Then that disappeared and you got your invoices mailed via email. Then that disappeared and now you have to create an account on some portal so that you can download your invoice. So that's one userid/password combo per business relationship or service that you use privately. Healthcare, HOA, insurance, payroll etc., every bloody two bit player requires you to log-in to their oh-so-secure service rather than that they send you your stuff. Which requires a ton of overhead and - sure enough - sooner or later they get hacked because by then the amount of data they hold on to is more valuable than their security could reasonably be expected to defend.

I just switched to Firefox at work, and I'm surprised. It's so much better now than even Firefox 57.
I think you misunderstood the intent of the project. The author specifically bought domain names that are likely to be filled in to forms by random people. I really like the idea as a privacy awareness stance.

The wildcard bit is just extra. I'm partial to 10minutemail.com.
Yes.

As an anecdote to that:

I've received recruiter spam to "<my_email>+fuckyouadobe@gmail.com". Turns out when I was forced to signed up for an Adobe account years ago I'd added "+fuckyouadobe" to my email and, of course, Adobe was inevitably hacked. The leaked database had somehow made its way into recruiter software. The recruiter told me their vendor and when I got in touch with them (Aevy.com) they, of course, had no idea how that email got there.

Sadly these days people are probably smart enough to strip out these additions to gmail addresses. I would guess that's what Aevy did after I reached out...
To that end, Hemingway would stop writing for the day when it was going well, in the hope that resuming the next day would see a continuation of that ease.
How can you say "Lunatic, obviously"? What makes him an obvious lunatic?
Would love to check out your book whenever you release it! I think a lot of what you do is similar to the Hindu/Buddhist approach of accepting the moment for what it is, and figuring out what you can learn from every moment and experiencing it without too much emotion attached to it. But you seem to have more practical advice on how to accomplish that, which I look forward to hearing.
My favorite Bible interpreters are all 19th century English, Scottish, and Irish writers. They all knew Greek and Hebrew, and some of them studied the ancient manuscripts themselves. Their writing is clear and cogent and their interpretations are still very much relevant. Sadly, I've little use for most contemporary writers on the same subjects. They just aren't up to the same standard.
I'd support it if it felt like a first-class citizen on macOS. It's ironic that everyone decries Electron for not being native, then says you should use Firefox when it violates so much about the platform that it's not even funny.

A bug about overflow scrolling (the default bouncing when you scroll over in macOS) has been open for years. It doesn't fit in.
Very much hope Edge is open sourced.
The worst thing about Safari is the “Do you want to receive notifications from this website?” pop-up that appears every time you hit some random notification-supporting website for the first time.

There has got to be a better way to implement notification subscriptions than this annoying pop-up.
Waiting for them to implement sync until I switch full time but yeah, impressed so far.
I regularly have ~60 tabs open with no issues.
Yes, I wanna a option for all
One problem I have with Firefox on Android is that it doesn't support the Samsung DeX desktop environment, while all the other browsers do (Chrome, Edge, Bing, Samsung Internet). Presumably that means it doesn't run well on ChromeOS laptops either. It's also noticeably slower than the other browsers.

That said, I keep going back to Firefox as my preferred phone browser, I still like it more than the others. And Firefox is definitely my favorite desktop browser, ever since Quantum. It was an enormous speed improvement over Safari on Mac for me when it came out, and I'm enjoying Firefox on my new PC laptop too.
Does Quora still have a real name policy?
I've recently moved back to FF (from Chrome) for performance reasons, however I'm still forced back to Chrome to debug anything websockets related.

What? Would wager that this group and the groups affected by this policy change at tumblr have a big overlap.
Thanks, this a great answer, and it makes sense now. The size matters because it enables the three-pronged business model: Suppliers-Riders-Chargers, and it would be infeasible to do such a thing with bulky bikes.
You can't care about something you don't know exists. Most users do things in inefficient ways and don't know the better options.
Not exactly the same thing, but I found breath of the wild 100%speedruns pretty calming and engaging. Mostly link running. Occasional intense battles. Every 15 min or so, you see something really clever.

I know it’s not quite the same thing, but the game is so expansive I think it points in the same direction.

If you're looking to see adoption rate, what you really want to be comparing isn't absolute numbers of Chrome vs Firefox users, but rather the adoption rate of your add-on vs your potential users.

If Chrome has 10,000 potential users of your add-on, Firefox has 100, and you have 98 Chrome users and 2 Firefox users, then the add-on adoption rates are 0.98% for Chrome and 2% for Firefox.

Of course that's just shifting the hard bit, which is figuring out who your potential users are.
Class-action lawsuit grounds?
>or the extremely difficult user interface to switch default browser on Windows.

I agree that it's annoying and user hostile, but "extremely difficult"? It's one button in settings.
Can't the spammer just s/'\+.*@'/'@'/ or something and throw away the + sign and all that follows? Or the company could do this if they were selling your email address.
I don't want to attack a strawman here, but your comment makes it seem like you think that programmers simply write code that they're told to write, providing no input on the project at all. This isn't true at all: just because you're not a product manager doesn't mean that you don't have a chance to influence the final product; in the extreme case that you're told to essentially "shut up and code", you can exercise your control by walking away from the project if you don't like where it's going.
If you start your article with the assumption that ML is being a subject to memes because "it's not fashionable to like it" -- which also includes "liking" it, as if it's some kind of aesthetics art... Then your argument falls apart from the get go.

Perhaps the author should use ML itself to find out why people started mocking it!
And yet there’s scores of websites that barely work on anything except Chrome because it’s obvious that’s what the devs are using.
Shouldn't a business like having a signal attracting someone to their store?
Agreed, popups are annoying. But Firefox doesn't seem to block them all properly, either. For example, try this [1] site. It's notorious for hijacking its own clicks; about 50% of the time you load that site, the search field will open a popup when you click on it to type. Same goes for real links. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a fix for Safari.

I don't know of a tree-style tab extension for Safari, sorry.

If they don't mention it you could assume any one of the commonly used hash functions.
It is refreshing to see an article celebrating collaboration.
I used to use this technique for many years, but occasionally ran into issues with form validators rejecting the email address. I finally stopped because I never got spam from those email addresses (even in spam folder). I figured it's trivial for spammers to strip out the extra text, any half-decent spammer should know this trick. Also, I suspected they might change the +text to put the blame on someone else.
I just have a HomePod but I have told Siri to start/stop the music literally every morning since I bought it.
I'd kinda agree. As described in Zero to One, to convince shift users to adopt, you need a product that is an order of magnitude superior to the incumbent. Incremental changes or parity mostly won't cut it. A browser would have to be radically innovative or better to gain share which is difficult considering the services Google has hooked into it.
If your main concern is the sheer number of username/unique password combos, pick a good password manager that works well across the devices you use. I’ve literally stopped caring about this aspect of my family’s online life thanks to 1Password. That iOS 12 added OS level integration for the service was the icing on the cake for me.
You can turn this off. Go to Preferences, then Websites, then Notifications, then at the bottom of the window there's a checkbox: "Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications".
I switched to desktop with Quantum and love it. But the huge win for me was switching to Firefox Mobile on my iPhone. It may just be a wrapper for WebKit. But it integrates with Firefox Sync.

The killer feature is "send this tab to your iPhone". Great when you're looking at a recipe / restaurant address / funny picture on your computer and want to have it on your phone.
