They would be introducing money into the economy. The people that had their bonds purchased by the Fed would be holding money that didnt previously exist.

This dilutes the value of an individual dollar. Just like dilution of any asset.

In the context of currencies this is called inflation.

Typically the whole point is for private persons to invest into the real economy, even though it is riskier, because these other new ventures are going to try to put it to productive use, instead of any party just parking the money in a bank account since now it is clear it will lose value just parked.
Last time I checked, both Citi and BofA give me virtual card numbers via a Flash plugin. I really have no desire to run Flash any more. Has that changed?
Capital One is offering money market savings accounts earning 2.0%, with no caps, and no time limits. Sure, I could buy a 1 year bond, and earn the extra .72%, but I rather have the flexibility to withdraw at anytime with the Capital One money market account.

That's just the disaster.

And the end of W3C standard development process. AFAIR it should be 3 independent implementations of the feature in order for Draft to reach Recommendation status.

So technically all that means that web standards will be written by WebKit team alone.

I like firefox, and use it a lot at work as generally my main browser with DDG as the , but I end up going back to chrome quite a bit

Things that bug me
- For some reason often when I have quite a few tabs, open link in new tab stops working, the tab appears then disappears instantly, oddly if I use Vimium to open the tab in a new link it works. Mostly I use Vimium so this is not too much of a problem

- Copy pasting of formatted html is worse than Chrome.

- Confluence runs like a pig on Firefox for some reason, completely unusable on some pages, not strictly a FF problem, but is problematic.

- Just something about the aesthetics that is somehow "off"

On the positive

- I like the developer tools

- "Column select" out of the box just works

- scrolling tab bar instead of teeny tiny tabs where you can't see anything is good

- I feel better that I'm hopefully leaking less data, not that I can really verify that, but I generally believe I should be better protected than if I was using chrome

Overall, while there is cool things about FF, I feel I'm using it not because its the better browser, but some vauge idea I'm helping browser diversity.
That person meant that if all the main browsers move to Chromium, then it will dominate and cause a monoculture; the same way that Internet Explorer caused a monoculture in the 90s and 00s.

Pointing out that there are competitors doesn't change that their presence doesn't overthrow the monoculture. After all, Gecko was around for a long time and Firefox did become very popular very quickly after version 2; but realistically, it took until Apple put WebKit on iOS for any real dents to be made.

Also, I think Konqueror still uses KHTML by default. I don't know if Konqueror tracks WebKit, but I think they're rather different these days.
I was in WY to summit Gannett peak during the eclipse a couple summers ago. It was windy. Our tent was starting to deteriorate and rip apart. We moved stones. Built a wall. For shelter. I respect nature and it's beauty but never once did "I shouldn't be stacking these stones" cross my mind. There were plenty of stones left!

My only issue with stone stacking would be if people intentionally did this to throw people off a trail route. Even with a good map and compass a rock cairn can be a godsend. Especially when you're in a boulder field.

Anyone doing this for Instagram likes is an idiot.
Interesting. Based on your description, it seems that NVDA on Windows fares better with Electron apps than does VoiceOver on Mac. NVDA's "browse mode" features work equally well whether it's Electron, Chrome, or Firefox (and to a lesser extent in IE and Edge).

In another thread, you wrote that Xcode is the best IDE you've found for Mac simply because it's native to the Mac. Have you tried Eclipse? Given that Eclipse's SWT widget toolkit is based largely on native widgets, it might be native enough. Then again, the editor is custom, so it may still fall short.

I ask you these questions because I'm interested in the perspective of a Mac user who has apparently learned to make very effective use of multiple Mac accessibility features.
If you don't want it on desktop for some crazy reason, at least replace Chrome with Firefox if you're on Android. uBlock Origin support alone is worth leaving behind any benefit you get with Chrome.
I used Safari as my primary browser for about a year, mainly because it was easier on the battery. I gave up on it because:

1. I kept running into Safari-only issues on websites. The most memorable one was on the American Express website. I couldn't switch between cards because the selection widget was broken on Safari.

2. The marketplace for Safari extensions is anemic, a problem which is only going to get worse[1] as legacy extensions are about to be totally deprecated[2]. Firefox did the same thing, but at least they moved to the WebExtension API. Safari App Extensions are very limited in what they can do.

3. Safari's developer tools were not as good as Chrome's or Firefox's.

Yes, heavily regulated banks and medical providers have wonderful security. You can see that they do whenever they require punctuation (but not spaces or $) in the password, and demand an 8 character password (but reject anything over 16 or 24 characters). /sarcasm

I especially like financial companies that have you login by using symantec VIP[1] which you append to your password. There's no way anyone thought that was a good idea. They did it that way because they had a worthless legacy authentication stack they couldn't rewrite, didn't understand 2FA well enough to implement it themselves, went with Symantec because "nobody ever got fired for contracting $importantfunction to $bigcompany", and the only way they could shoehorn any 2FA auth into their login flow was to concatenate it with the password.

[1] If you haven't had the pleasure of using it, it's a proprietary 2FA app that has a single seed per app install, shared between the app and symantec's database. It generates 6 digit codes that make it look similar to standard TOTP, but it's not TOTP. If you need to use it for multiple websites, you give them all the same seed hash (displayed by the app) which they use to synchronize your auth credentials with your account at symantec. IOW, it doesn't scale securely. There's also no way to have a backup 2FA device with this system; at least the two companies I've used it for haven't let me set up my account with two VIP apps on two different devices. Since normally you'll only have a single 2FA device using this Symantec VIP service, that means you have to go through a manual, insecure identity verification process to get back into your account if your one Symantec VIP device gets lost or broken.
If you have any specific questions, I'm available to either share what I've come up with if I think it's applicable or to suggest ideas for things to try. I have a sort of programmatic model of the human I'm playing with, so I consider these practices to be human programs. Trying to generate programs for people that have the desired effects is the only way I have to test the model right now, so it'd be mutually beneficial :)
thank you very mush
Why are you citing Safari's 14% market share when the person to whom you responded was stating that if it's true that Edge will become Chromium-based, then browsers running on Chromium will represent something like 66% of the world's web engine share. Heck, it's already 59%, over half. With Opera, Vivaldi, and Edge (or whatever Anaheim will become), we're talking two thirds of all browsers being based on one engine.

That's the monoculture.

Edit: didn't realise you were responding to someone refuting what you had said, haha. so basically we agree, I just thought you were someone else.
> right. votes would just be for the general popupation, to show which papers are popular. if votes are used at all.

The last thing we want is the general public voting on scientific research. Any results that don't fit their world view will be voted down.
>My only wish is that Chrome would make it more obvious that it’s running with these protections disabled.

I know this is beginning to become off-topic, but why? Presumably, if you're using a flag that has to be run from the command-line, you're either doing it on purpose or using hardware you don't own (and a keylogger is a much greater risk than anything else at that point)
And nobody knows how that’s calculated. If the implementation is done via JS we can assume a good portion of all the browsers usage % is incorrect.
Perhaps in fairness it's best to worry about that when it's too late, considering non-renewables have enjoyed that luxury.
Unfortunately optimizing combustion for fuel economy can increase emissions dramatically. Two primary examples- 1) efficiency rises with combustion temperature; however over a certain threshold temperature NOx starts to spontaneously form much more rapidly 2) efficiency rises with combustion pressure; however a high compression engine tends to have a combustion chamber shaped like a pancake instead of a sphere or cylinder, which tends to cause incomplete combustion raising particle emissions.

Edit: I forgot another, a leaner mixture (more air less fuel) helps get the most complete combustion for maximum efficiency and low particulate, but the more air in the chamber, the more free oxygen and nitrogen there is to form more NOx

Every engine strikes a balance between fuel economy, particulate, and NOx emissions. They are like the three corners of a project management triangle.

As a firefox fax, I hope this isn't true. The dominance of chrome isn't good for anyone. This will lead to (even more) sites not bothering to be made compatible with Firefox. We are headed back to the "designed for IE" days.

I'm sorry, but I disagree. The very first sentence of the linked article is being criticized unfairly. People are claiming that the very first sentence is incomplete because it should explain pointer arithmetic and typing.

Explaining what a pointer is by using the term "pointer" and explaining how to use one is a circular definition. A student who has never heard the term "pointer" before is going to be completely lost if the instructor jumps straight to "Pointer arithmetic works by increments of the size of the type of object to which the pointer points." If that is the first statement someone is exposed to, it will not make sense to them. I understand that someone may not like their proposal being called circular, but I don't think it's unfair or bad behavior to point it out.

The linked-to article is well done. There are some minor errors, as have been pointed out elsewhere. However, I think the criticism in this thread of conversation is deeply negative in a hostile, nasty way.
are the default weights I see in the code the result of your own local training?
I don't know, I am typing this post on Edge, and HTML rendering is way down on my list of complaints about it. Is switching to Chromium going to fix the lack of a "Paste As Plain Text" option, for instance? (Not the biggest issue, just the one that's freshest in my mind.) And I hope that whatever they do retains their focus on not burning battery, which is a big reason I use Edge as much as I do.

Fair concern. On the other hand nobody uses Edge on Windows 10, do they? In my limited experience users seem to still use IE or go to Chrome or Firefox.
> The only issue I have is that he seems to think China's high debt is fine compared to the US based on vague reasoning.

Do you have a source that lets us see his quotes?

I would venture a guess that China's much higher saving rate has something to do with it. Their infrastructure investments are probably wasted at times but it seems much of them do help support further urbanization and economic development.
I admit to having a lot less experience in China than you do so I appreciate that perspective.

Having said that this still sounds like a shaky justification of Google putting profits ahead of their own stated ethics.

That's a false dichotomy.

Ask MetaFilter is a much better Yahoo Answers, but I can be pseudonymous there. Also, my pseudonym is much closer to a real identity than what's on my driver's license.

I don't have any real reason to fear sharing my "real name" with Quora. I'm lucky. But I'm not the only person in the world. Good thing I'm not trans or a religious dissident. Good thing the only thing stopping me from contributing to Quora is my ornery nature. I would hate to for the world to miss out on my Quora contributions for a good reason.

Good thing Quora doesn't have my "real name" is all I'm saying. I have an interest in privacy, even though I use the same pseudonym as my identity on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And Ask MetaFilter. And so many other places. I shouldn't have to beg to use my preferred name on Quora's bulletin board, regardless of my reasons. It's none of their business.

There's nothing about a "real names" policy that automatically turns a shitposter into a quality contributor. There are plenty of reasons not to wear a target on your back and self-doxx. Today's misadventure is one very good reason.

Interesting, but what I really, really want them to do is EOL IE 11 so that the web can move forward without feeling guilty about the X% of users still on it. IE 11 has unfortunately become the new IE 6.

As it is right now I believe the IE 11 EOL is tied to the Windows 10 EOL...which is not happening anytime soon. Many frameworks are dropping support for it anyway so I guess it will end up being defacto desupported.
> ...there’s little hope of sharing and growing the world’s knowledge if those doing so ... cannot trust that their information will remain private.

Here's a crazy idea, circa 1990's: don't store their personal information! Allow people to browse Quora without using their real names. I'm very happy I deleted my Quora account when I did.
Started seriously thinking about converting Sciter to full scale web browser.

Anyone is willing to invest in that?
Well, of course, but I'll put in some more though if it gets anywhere near that (like ads or some sort). Running lambdas are really cheap. Realistically, the image conversion costs will not surpass monthly free tier unless I'm trigger 1.6 million emails a month. The expensive bit by far would come to the file storage which is something I'll figure out later
chrome and FF also do this. all 3 have an option to disable the prompt (and not accept notifications).
Looking at the results for November it looks like it’s at 9.11% not below 9%
Chromium has greater share, so I think it would be more the Chromium team.

Care to prove my point further?
No mention of hashing algorithm for passwords, so until they provide that info, I would just assume they hashed with unsalted md5 or sha1 or even crc, and treat it as if they had stored them in plain text.
Do you really believe that?

Mmmm isn't this effectively Gecko/Blink/WebKit now?
Even better is that it's optional, so those of us who don't want to see any ads but still want to support sites are in a position to tip / donate / potentially subscribe to sites across the web using a browser-native crypto wallet.

That also means I can financially support sites without handing over any PII data as well.

It's up to them to offer a deal to get subscriber data (marketers gonna market), but the bar is increasingly high as we see hacks like Quora.

I think we're moving to a world where publishers will see that an MVP business model is 'dollars without data', and BAT with ZKP anonymity enables that.

Very sad. I'm not a Microsoft fan but I thought this was one of the things they were doing right.

The performance was really good, compatibility with standards was actually the best IMHO. Every thing (SVG) I tried that got past Firefox and Chrome worked on Edge without modification.

And yeah, we need the competition.

It's not like Microsoft is running out of money. Guess they need their most talented people doing something else.
I use it as much as possible. Its user experience on touch windows devices (Surface Go in this case) is several orders of magnitude better than Chrome and Firefox... is not a usable browser, performance-wise in my experience.

Edge is brand new, and foolishly branded to look like IE, this might stop average users who know about getting Chrome from using it. But it shouldn't. It's extremely rare that I'm forced to swap over to Chrome. Mostly I use Chrome to keep my invasive work IT staff from having access to my private browsing info.

> Almost everyone agrees that despite the harms caused by alcohol, we were even worse off under prohibition.

That is an exaggeration. In polls a sizable proportion (~20%) are still in favor of banning alcohol.

Popular assessments that we were “worse off” during prohibition are based on decades of propaganda and mythology rather than careful analysis, and a confusion between the effects of prohibition and the effects of the great depression.

e.g. from a quick web search (there are probably better resources)
