As I recall, because people were already programmatically generating endless numbers of malware extension IDs to avoid blacklisting.

Blacklisting depends on a limited supply of whatever you're trying to control. UUIDs are not limited.

More generally, if you come up with an obviously superior solution to a problem that someone else has claimed is important and difficult, and has spent considerable resources addressing, perhaps it would be more constructive to investigate or ask questions to test your understanding of the situation before assuming and asserting that the other people are doing it all wrong?

I'm not saying mozilla has the best possible solution here. I don't know what that would be. I do know (I work for mozilla though not in this area) that the step was taken to address real, and very active, threats to security, privacy, and stability.
How Yemen's civil war went cyber
Agreed. I use qualifiers far too often. It's good to be open to being wrong, good to not convey over-confidence, but when you are the one operating outside the social norm it dilutes whatever point you were making.

I am trying to get in the habit of providing an overarching qualifier so that I'm not deceiving my audience and then making the rest of my statements without any qualifiers that would be covered by the overarching one. It is definitely a hard habit to change, however.
Interesting how the presentation of healthy sexuality and eroticism in US culture increasingly suffers under a joint assault by neo-puritans, radical feminists, middle-of-the-road advertisers, and gender-smashing warriors. By the gods, even at the gym the vast majority of Americans feel they must cover their body with towels when walking to/from the showers, and those who don't are eyed with suspicion. Similar trends are present in e.g. Sweden and France where the depiction of beautiful women in ads is now a socio-political problem.

I wish for our cultures to look for inspiration to the Ancient Greeks' fundamental love of the human body and soul; some of which we can observe in the sculptures that have survived (not the beefy Roman copies); and some of the perspectives one may gather from surviving poetry, tales of normal nudity in social activities, and benevolent jokes about sex.
Climate change is definitely not the greatest threat to me. I'm much more worried about getting into a car accident and my prostate's health.
Heh, you're right: I believe last time I took the MBTI, I was either INTP or ENTP, definitely not J though! Interesting!
Then maybe he didn't train it as well as he thinks he did.

For comparison, I tried out Clarifai's image classification API: https://clarifai.com/demo It has no problem classifying some bunless ones on a grill (https://www.hot-dog.org/sites/default/files/2016-09/sausage%...) as being sausage/pork/beef/hotdog, with nary a 'sandwich' to be seen, while conversely, a Big Mac (https://d1nqx6es26drid.cloudfront.net/app/uploads/2015/04/04...) gets sesame/burger/lettuce/sandwich/bun/bread tags with no sausage/bratwurst/hotdog to be seen. Clarifai's NNs seem to do fine on 'hot dog or not hot dog'...
I would just differentiate between strategy and the willingness to take a hit for something. I'm not sure what the best choice in the situation actually is, but the willingness to give up something is impressive
Yes, it was around and was more focused upon when I was a kid without an internet connection.

But nowd you get that fed straight to you on sites/blog-platforms targeting children. All with huge real-time support groups that will help you not to eat. It's the $90/session personal trainers but available 24/7 and without any knowledge of side-effects and with a huge amount of denial.
If male/female relationships in companies devolve to the same level of gaming, backstabbing, and insanity that happens around KPIs, then we might end up with a literal gender war. I think the point of the article is that regular relationships between people turning into this sort of Machiavellian game is a bad thing
Plenty. Many are just bitter and disillusioned and afraid. Many have substantial investment of their own code and reputation that they can't take with them when they leave, not to mention the money they're leaving on the table (at t5 and above, 50%+ of pay is tied to 4-year vesting stock options). And that doesn't mention the institutional value that they're conceding to people they view as having betrayed their values - I have personally stayed in organizations way too long, trying to turn them around when they had gone in directions that were antithetical to their stated and previous goals.

Look at the ACLU: it still holds tremendous cultural cachet as the defender of free speech - but there's been a generational change, and while plenty of the old guard still believe in that ideal, there's a whole new guard that have basically the opposite stance - they're concerned mostly about stopping "Hate Speech". There's a really good argument to be made that they are right to do so, that they're trying to clean up the mess that their predecessors made.

(But I don't buy that last argument in the least, personally)
> The majority of the cost, even today, are not related to rockets.

"Even today". There is an opinion that payloads are so expensive because the launchers are expensive. I.e., you can't send replacements easily, because a launch is expensive, so you have to design the payload so that it wouldn't break, and last 9-s of reliability cost additional 0-s in price.

In other words, if launchers would become cheaper, that would encourage sending more payloads which isn't designed to be as reliable and serve as long. If something happens, just send a replacement. The issue of space junk comes to mind, but if launches are cheaper you can include into the launched mass the active means of dealing with space junk, like fuel for deorbiting.
Well he means in the global population sense. I am sure that major famines aren’t the greatest threat to you at the moment either.

I can entirely relate to what Lewis writes about reading Plato. I was interested in philosophy but found myself gravitating to reading and listening to podcasts about philosophy rather than reading it directly.

Once I actually picked up a volume of Plato's works I was surprised how approachable it was to me, a complete layman of philosophy.
I wasn't but I fixed quite a lot of them (and regular 64's in a 10x larger number). I used the ST quite a bit though, totally different beast software wise, the Amiga was a multimedia powerhouse whereas the ST was more like a 'Mac light'.

FYI, the recent UN report says that global net CO2 emissions has to fall by 50% by 2030 (11 years from now) and reach zero by 2050 for us to have a chance of averting the worst of the disaster.

As of right now, global CO2 emissions are still increasing: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-global-co2-emissions-se...

You break big tasks into smaller tasks, which are generally manageable by people with 4-year degrees. An AI expert may manage or guide the larger project, but the sub-tasks shouldn't normally require an AI expert.
I wonder how many people will rush for this. Even if they get it to scale, what's the business model? Or just do it like Tumblr and run on VC money as long as possible.
While I disagree with the idea that the dead have no rights I do understand it.

Even if we accept that I still think it is short sighted for the living to only consider consequences up to their own death and not beyond.

I dunno, you're pinning your dismissal of the initial idea on 'those desks in the city centre will still be there' when it's entirely feasible they'll just reduce over time in-line with demand. In fact, we see that right now with the trend towards unallocated desking and flexible working, where desk numbers within the same floor space is being reduced in favour of deploying more collaboration spaces and allowing more staff to work away from the office in a manner than suits them. That's what that reduction in office density downtown looks like in practice.

Then your counter proposal depends on people being able to 'swap jobs' while handwaving away the complexity that would involve. Most knowledge worker roles aren't that fungible.
Relying on non tuned antennas for your test is a mistake. Check out the war driving peeps who connect to WiFi networks from miles away. Your phone's antenna is intentionally not tuned well to avoid picking up random devices that it's not near.

When I was working on an RFID board, we intentionally tuned it for such poor distance that the FCC was willing to not call it an intentional transmitter, but instead one half of an air core transformer. That's pretty standard for the product space.
I admit to not having seen those discussions, but I doubt they show consensus within google that certain publications should be banned. In any group of people there will be some who will say they'd like to ban something, be it Hello Kitty or whatever.

Hence my concern for avoiding the mysogyny and lack of respect for consent.

But there’s nothing inherently wrong with being a guy who wants to better-understand how dating works and how to navigate it. Given that we still live in a world with patriarchy and where men are still more expected to play the active/seeking role (someone has to initiate), it is perfectly reasonable for men to ask “how do I dating?”. I keep hoping that there will be a community of folks building each other up in this set of skills.

But the groups that I’ve seen are just...sigh...

I suppose one sign of a healthy group might be that it has a diversity of gender and sexual orientations (or is at least branding itself for that) and has discussions which follow from that. Another might be one which has lots of discussions about emotional/relationship skills in general. Like:

- How to ‘hold space’ for someone in emotional distress.

- How to listen to someone else in a way that helps them organize their thoughts/feelings

- How to generate sexual tension on a date, either in new relationship or a longstanding one.

- How to psych yourself up to have tough conversations or set boundaries despite discomfort.

- How to check if you’ve violated someone else’s boundaries in a way that leads to them feeling respected, while still being confident and not falling into scrupulousity.

- How to tackle scrupulousity head-on or overcome feelings that you should make yourself small in social interactions.

- How to notice when someone is feeling excluded from a group or doesn’t know how to engage and then draw them into conversation in a way that makes them feel welcomed

etc.

Having members with longstanding relationships is probably particularly important as a sign that the advice that circles around in the group is actually effective and promotes healthy relationships. It also would allow it to be an actual community rather than something that people cycle in and out of.
For a second I thought I was reading The Onion.

I do however like the philosophical nature of the question: If people can change their gender based on they feel, why can’t they change their age?

========

I'm a seasoned freelancer with over 15 years experience working with all kinds of companies - from small startups to Fortune 50 organizations. Very familiar with Agile / DevOps approaches, and particularly fond of good developer testing practices.

My focus is on delivering lean, simple, well tested products. I've worked on desktop GUI applications, backend web services, and web UIs. My focus these days is on large scale backend services.

Recent work is primarily full-stack with a backend focus. This includes all the usual tech: relational and NoSQL databases (Mysql, Postgresql, RethinkDB, MongoDB, Elastic Search, Redis), Docker, Docker Cloud, AWS. Spring, Guice, and many more.
Do what's right for the company, not what's right for you. It will make it easier to win people over to your side and combat those who are only thinking about their own politics.

If a user tells you the data is wrong then follow the data. Trust but verify. The data may lead you to other data and the solution.

If there's no indicator of bad data then follow the code. There's always a reason. You'll be amazed at what you find.

The possible 'profits' suddenly become possible losses once you're invested. Its easier for shareholders to turn their back on some profits than to swallow losses
I don't see why one can change sex, but not change age, race, etc.
What are we proposing to mine? The business case for platinum is easy to make if there is a quantity of relatively pure ore. The business case for iron is hard to make. Unfortunately iron is common on earth and on asteroids (I'm confident in making that statement without looking it up so I guess I could be wrong). Platinum is rare on earth and in great demand, and seems to be just as rare in space.

I can come up with other cases, but there is a lot of other technology that needs to be worked on before we are ready to build generation ships heading to other star systems.

What majewsky said (which was interesting!)

Basically I am able to (mentally and physically) walk away from work and let go of it and go home and game or work out or whatever. Then, the next day when I sit down again, I get my bearings and see where I'm at and then proceed!

There are a few exceptions to this, of course, but it's always with hard problems I become absolutely OBSESSED about. For example I couldn't find an XML parser in Elixir a couple weeks ago that I liked, so I was faced with writing my own... which I did... and then released as open source https://github.com/pmarreck/mega_xml but I was literally up until 4:30AM one night figuring out how to turn an event-based XML parser callback mechanism into an Elixir Map datastructure (something I had never had to do before, but which I somehow knew I was barely capable of figuring out, lol). It was extra tricky (for me) due to the lack of mutability
What if I don't want to be who I am and I want to change myself?

Apparently I am a very feminine man and I don't want to be like this at all. I can't stand how people treat me. When I am being myself I'd much rather not socialize at all than try to meet people.
I don't want to have to learn to interface with a bunch of arcane APIs or terminal interfaces to string together a proof of concept on a cloud provider. In my experience Azure was by far the easiest (and most costly) to get off the ground and something built with.

I mean, we've all got a limited amount of time to learn and try new things... being very hard to get some simple SaaS endpoints setup from AWS is often an exercise in frustration. And while I appreciate all the detailed IAM and Firewall options, on Azure (by comparison), if I have the correct security token, I can generally connect over a secure connection from anywhere in the world to pretty much any of their services without friction.

And if I'm going to have to learn a bunch of crap, I'd just assume learn a little more and roll my own on Linode or DO, or any number of much less expensive compute options.
Does Mozilla have a sanctioned way to pre-configure a browser with standard configurations?
