Neither the progressive populist faction nor the neoliberal moderate faction of the Democratic Party is making the mistake you charge; he Progressive populist faction was aimed at the problem before the Trump symptom had even fully manifested (not because it was fueling nationalism, but because they were concerned with the same underlying problems independently); the (decreasingly, but still) dominant neoliberal faction was certainly in denial about it until too late to prevent Trump, but when Hillary Clinton, as part of a discussion series on the rise of right-wing nationalist populism in Europe and the Americas says that Europe needs to curb immigration to cut off the fuel for nationalist populism, she's clearly focussed on the problem, whatever you think of her proposed solution.
China is notably not implicated in messing with the democracies on things like brexit or Trump. Which isn't to say they're saints -- they're just playing a longer game.

As far as people who dare to defend China against being THE WORST... I mean, 1.4 billion people, some of them move to America and speak English. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy.

EDIT: More downvotes, please. Express your patriotism.
I do love lastpass but since switching to Firefox 100% away from Chrome, the lack of copying a password to the clipboard without seeing it first really stings. What if someone is sitting next to me, or someone is grabbing screenshots or streaming my screen? It's like having this super secure electrified iron door installed but neglecting to lock it.

Is anyone aware of a technical reason that copy to clipboard is absent in Firefox, or is just laziness? If laziness, I'll dump them tomorrow.
You mean these civilians https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/9xla6y/israe... who just wanted a flag near the fence?

Or maybe these https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/959z60/hamas... ?

This "story" that they were a bunch of unarmed civilians near a fence is completely fictional. It was actually a bunch of combatants mixed in with civilians, and Israel worked very hard to be selective. The accidents are terrible, no doubt about it, but no other army in the history of war has done better.
There are enough similarities that Igalia (https://www.igalia.com/) could implement CSS Grid for Blink and WebKit at about the same time.

My understanding is that they'll be using the Chromium engine underneath, but still their own Edge "browser" and UI on top.

IMHO, I personally think it's a good thing to consolidate on one engine to render HTML cross-platform for these two reasons:

1. Web developers no longer need to worry about supporting CSS and other edge-cases across various browser engines.

2. The Chromium engine itself is open source. There are other browsers (Vivaldi, Opera, etc) that run on top of it.

3. While I think it's great the engine underneath is the same, I think it's equally great that there is a variety of UIs and browsers built on top of the same engine - the innovation happens in the browser space, not the engine, anymore.

I am an edge-case but my favourite extensions are AdNauseum [1], CookieAutoDelete and NoScript. The first isn't even available on the Chrome store (although you can install it via Dev Mode [2]), and that's before I weight concerns like Google's dragnet. Totally agree with the Network Effect point though, and I hear Chrome's dev tools are quicker than Firefox's in DOM rendering.

With regard to 2, I've not found it to be noticeably slow, nor experienced dropped frames or the other complaints (ran on a 2014 and a 2017), but that's more likely me being unobservant.

My recreational browsing is mostly on an iPad, and the user story there is pretty desperate. I'd prefer to mimic my Desktop setup, but the walled garden doesn't afford me that opportunity. I'm cautiously optimistic that situation will catch up before I move platforms though!

Anyway, thank you for helping me see the other side a little better.

[2] - I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there's a needless and incessant Chrome (and Chromium) prompt on each startup as follows:

"""
Disable Developer Mode Extensions

Extensions running in developer mode [sic] can harm your computer. If you're not a developer, you should disable these extensions running in developer mode to stay safe
"""

I personally find it inherently hostile, but perhaps I'm just an old man disregarding the use-case of other people!

This doesn't mean that the parents get the other 85%. All the income belongs to the child, the 15% figure is put in a trust as a requirement by California law and cannot be accessed until the child turns 18.
Well, my original comment was making a point that r/politics has become exactly what Digg became. A cesspit of bury brigades with a political aim.

I wasn't entirely sure what was/wasn't on their whitelist because I don't waste my time in that cesspit.

I'd be willing to bet money that they're not just "unpopular", but that there's a functional army of bots equipped to down-vote those domains automatically.

It doesn't matter anyway. It's not like somebody expecting a nonpartisan commentary will bother going to r/politics anyway. Anyone can clearly see it is full of only left opinions, and anything remotely right-leaning is heavily downvoted.
How come nobody seems to want to exterminate Sweden? What's so special about Israel that they need to kill vast amounts of civilians to not get exterminated?

> If 20% believe in a flat earth that doesn't mean we would be better off on an actual flat earth;

The claim was “almost everyone agrees that [..] we were even worse off under prohibition”, which is a clear exaggeration. Your response is a non sequitur.

> People don't want to be the victims of random violence,

People don’t want to be the victims of domestic violence either, which is very commonly caused/exacerbated by easy access to alcohol.

It’s not clear that prohibition had a large impact on the overall level of random violence, pop culture mythology notwithstanding.
Using a password manager (which I do) is a valid coping mechanism, but does not fix the root concern: for 90% of these cases, one shouldn't even need an account. I don't want personalization. I don't want some new identity to manage. I don't want a relationship with your service. I just want to browse the goddamned web! How did we get to this point where in order to use the Internet you have to sign up for all these free accounts and generate all these ridiculous username/password combinations?

Oh, and OAuth is a similar coping mechanism. You shouldn't need to log in to something to browse the web!
This is exactly what has me excited about the new content model for the web Eich proposes. I just commented in another thread [1] but essentially:

1. enable donations / tips / subscriptions to sites using a browser-native crypto wallet

2. use ZKP anonymity

This enables a publisher / subscriber business model of 'dollars without data'. Which should really be the Minimum Viable Product for a publisher.

PII data for marketing is the icing on the cake for publishers, but the bar is high (and getting higher) around sharing that, and many of us want to support sites, but don't want to go through N+1 payment gateways and digital identity forms just to read some content.

From this perspective I see Brave and BAT as enabling a very old model: I give you a quarter, you give me your newspaper. End of story.

YC Podcast Interview of Ryan Petersen: https://goo.gl/NFnM7P
I think what helped me, when I transitioned to using a bike for everything was having a large circle of friends that also rode bikes primarily. We laughed, we cried, but we also saw what we did as being normal things to overcome. For example, if we all went out, we did so on bikes. If it rained - so be it! We all got wet, and we laughed about it. In Seattle, I've joined up with these guys:

From the Wikipedia page, only 15% of the child’s earnings need to be put aside into a trust:

“This law requires a child actor's employer to set aside 15% of the earnings in a trust (often called a Coogan Account), and codifies issues such as schooling, work hours and time off.”

Seems like it should be more.
> The Chromium engine itself is open source

Being open source is a red herring in this instance.

Say that Chrome implements a web feature you don't like. You fork the browser and remove that feature. But websites expect Chrome, and they use that feature, so your fork doesn't work with those websites.

Say that Chrome refuses to add a feature you want. You fork the browser and add the feature. But websites expect Chrome, so they don't use your feature so as to not break for their Chrome users, and your fork is no better off.

The insidious part of a web monoculture is allowing Google to dictate the standards of the web platform. Being able to fork the codebase only gives one the power to change things that are strictly client-side.
This is a common misconception: that treasuries somehow don't lead to inflation but reserves (aka electronic cash) somehow do. Why? Both are extremely liquid, but treasuries pay more interest than reserves (yes, reserves do pay interest [1]).

The only difference between treasuries and reserves is, in fact, the interest rate an the fact that we call one "debt" and the other "money". But they are both US federal gov't liabilities denominated in USD. [2]

The bulk of the impact on inflation already happened... when the treasuries were issued in the first place. They aren't waiting to be exchanged for reserves to suddenly cause inflation. [3]

So, if anything, the Federal Reserve swapping one gov't liability for another paying lower interest could lead to less inflation, not more. [4]

It says 15% OF this earnings, he might be getting more than that but 15% is locked up until he is an adult.

Even so, the parents are probably the actual 'runners' of the company (?) doing all the work except being on camera. Meaning administrative work, accounting, filming, editing, marketing maybe and so on.

I wonder if these guess at the income of internet celebrates could some how hurt them when doing taxes.
It's weird how both of the videos you show in defense of civilian deaths caused by Israel involve Israeli military being attacked.

If there were no attacks on civilians, that certainly makes you wonder if they could've avoided conflict by simply not sending their troops there.
It just depends on how far you're trying to push these browsers. Chrome has a lot of crazy cutting edge APIs which allow amazing developer and therefore user experiences. For example, IntersectionObserver, which allows developers to know when a part of a page is active, and respond accordingly; Safari doesn't even implement IntersectionObserver, even though it's been a standardized spec since like 2013.

It might seem like minutiae, but, safari also doesn't pay any attention to SVG specs. This makes the pages I build for beaver [1] like, impossible. They work beautiful in chrome; but they don't work at all in safari; and because of that, I can't really explore what potential experiences pushing the limits on SVG might have for my clients. Whatever you build has to work in all clients. It's a sad state of affairs, because if safari wasn't so far dilapidated, I would have been able to build some really impressive experiences; but, without safari support it's a no-go.

Yeah that feature (along with iOS 12 native OS-level password manager integrations) was a major leap forward. I no longer dread enabling 2FA on websites when push/HOTP tokens aren’t supported - at least from a usability perspective. The security of SMS-based 2FA is still poor, though generally better than nothing.

So, as the OP said - back to the bad old days of IE6 dominance.
Do you mean the DE10-Nano?

The DE0-nano is not a SoC (no ARM portion).
> I also tried out Firefox on iOS some time ago...

I was in the process of switching to Firefox from Chrome, and a few days after installing Firefox on iOS it interrupted me with a notification advertising Pocket. I immediately uninstalled it and haven't looked back.
Does that work on macos?
It's a great question! It's honestly not too bad, although every now and again I flirt with throwing in the towel on account of the fact I'm sure I'm not really making a difference to the data collection at large. I browse with Firefox, an ad-blocker CookieAutoDelete and NoScript also, which sounds horrific, but actually works well (although I'm under no illusions that combined with routing my traffic through a VPS and browser fingerprinting are not hiding me at all). Browsing on ios with Firefox Focus is needlessly laborious also, but other than that I've found it to be fine.
It's genuinely hard to imagine a second-rate question and answer site could have any credentials, or indeed any non-public content, that anyone else could be interested in. From the list of what's been taken, it sounds like it's mostly email and hashed passwords, though I suspect Quora's user base is not entirely populated by people committed to a strict one-off password policy.

Happily I get to once again bemoan the disappearance of JCSV, who was astounded that Quora was still a thing five years ago: http://jesuschristsiliconvalley-blog.tumblr.com/post/4896203...
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.

I feel ya. I keep having to stop myself from doing things the right way so that I can support my IE11 users.

Unfortunately, even after EOL, the ghost of IE11 will be around for a very long time. Heck, my November stats show 10% WinXP users.
> Firefox is still pretty ugly, too. On macOS, it feels chunkier and less natively integrated.

Mozilla have put a tremendous amount of effort into the "ugly on every platform" cross platform tools over the years, from XUL to whatever the current one is. Developing a native UI for each platform would have been less effort and given much better results than continuing with this tried and failed approach.

Their latest attempt at theme support is just laughable and was very obviously not QA'd. In text areas I get the dark background theme from my desktop and the dark text foreground from the website css and it's made firefox unusable for me.

This is on top of things like their recent breakages to extensions so things that used to work (vertical tabs) still don't. And this only broke so they could go multi-threaded and then quickly had to add throttles so random sites couldn't hog every core.

But it seems mozilla are more concerned with re-writing things in rust, tying users into various web services and god knows what other side projects while they continue to avoid improving their core product.

I'd love to see firefox regain market share, we need an open source browser that's not controlled by a spyware company, but on their current trajectory firefox will dissapear into history and mozilla themselves will be the primary cause.
I'm less concerned with the implementation than I am with the principle.

In principle, I have reservations about exposing content to search engines but then requiring payment to read it. Especially if it's non-trivial to filter out the sources that require payment.

But a plugin which works around an attempt to restrict visibility of content to those who've paid for it ... I thnk the intent here is wrong.

I think it's ok to have information that's only accessible to a restricted set of viewers.

It's not that it's not possible. It's not that the implementations aren't dumb. It's that the principle of "if I want it, and I can do it, then it's ok" doesn't really hold up, IMO.
If open web standards are to matter at all, it is more important for there to be multiple viable implementations of the same standards than it is for the lives of web developers to become easier.

Using the same engine across multiple browsers, open source or not, just doesn’t cut it.
