It sounds more like Facebook has gotten away with a ton of crap and it’s reckoning day.

A better question might be how did they get away with... I don’t know any of it really, for so long?
Doesn't Mozilla get the lion's share of its funding from Google? I'm a bit puzzled as to how they can avoid a conflict of interest if this remains true.
Expiry dates are in years, if a key is compromised, then an adversary has _years_ to exploit a MITM.

However we already mitigate this with revocation lists. But if we can revoke certificates why do we have expiration dates?

Seems to me expiration dates are rent seeking behaviour by certificate vendors.
Sounds flawed. What if I interact with someone a lot because they're a family member who shares dumb boomer memes and we argue? :)
Ah! Okay, that's what I think I misunderstood. The 4 TPU + 44 GPU configuration was only for running AlphaZero against Stockfish, not for training it. Phew! That seemed unbelievable, I was hoping someone would see what I was missing.

And the 9 hours was for training, but I don't think the article linked says on what.

But that's not how one should read "that is". The author should have used "e.g." here, no question. Using "i.e." would imply that there exists only one nondeterministic function in MySQL, which is not the case.
Try viewing Imgur.com on Safari. Just scroll a bit until you get a couple gifs displayed and check the CPU usage on the imgur.com tab. Just insane that a few gifs destroy an i7. Is it bad video compression? I notice imgur attempts to make gifs from mp4 files and vice versa but damn. A 5 year old iPhone has no problem with this task.

It'd be nice if you could throttle processor usage. I'd rather have a choppy experience on the occasionally website than constant fans and having my Mac turn into a heater.
conda doesn't require you to use conda packages; pip installs are perfectly integrated.

w.r.t lustre - can't comment about that; I prefer local file systems for development for various reasons (most importantly: mmaping huge local files is 10x to 100x more efficient than through networked filing systems).
Firefox is also undergoing a large rewrite with the quantum stuff with more of an emphasis on rust. Chromium is c++ and already has decent tooling for embedding. Honestly, Firefox is trying to be where the puck is going. Chromium is great but stagnating.
It was unusable for me too, afaik it had to do with scaling more than anything else, so if you toy around with scaling factors it might help.
The truth of the statement that most "black" people in the UK are descended from ... rather depends on the applicable definition of "black". In particular, people from the Indian subcontinent are sometimes referred to as "black". (For what it's worth, many people in Britain with Indian ancestry were brought up in Africa so could claim to be "real" Africans...)

I don't think it makes much sense to categorise people by skin colour. An Afro-Caribbean doesn't in general have more in common with an immigrant from Africa than with an immigrant from Syria or Hong Kong.

People with a different skin colour certainly do get discriminated against. However, if you really want to get discriminated against, try dressing in the wrong way and speaking a foreign language or with a foreign accent. In general, people get judged by their clothing and the way they speak far more than by any physical feature.

Perhaps it doesn't make sense to generalise across the UK, either. Afro-Caribbeans are much more common in the London area than elsewhere. Only in Bradford has someone made me feel like a foreigner by speaking to me slowly in Hindi/Urdu and rolling their eyes when I fail to understand. (Quite cool, I thought: I approve.)
I'd like to see:

- Apple, Samsung, HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc, suspend imports to Australia

- Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc (anyone significant who provides a service to Australians) suspect their services to Australian geo IPs.

I can't see much other hope for getting it repealed ...
>Six4Three's CEO is possibly on iffy legal grounds taking a bunch of sealed docs overseas unnecessarily and then handing them over, though.

Yeah, this is weird. I've taken confidential documents overseas, but they were either on an encrypted device, or stored securely in our cloud and pulled down over a VPN after I arrived. Not printed out in my luggage. I'd expect to be fired if I did that and a government got access at customs.
I don't buy that argument. Getting a facelift doesn't change the year you were born.

Per https://assets.mozilla.net/annualreport/2017/mozilla-fdn-201... the breakdown seems to be as follows, rounding to the nearest percentage point:

50% directly spent on Firefox development.

12% spent on marketing (for comparison, rumor has it that Chrome's marketing spend is comparable to Mozilla's total revenue).

13% general and administrative expenses (this includes things like leases on office space, as far as I can tell from the usual definition of this category).

9% (of revenue; it's 36% of profit) income taxes. Which Mozilla apparently pays, unlike some other tech corporations.

16% money going into the rainy-day fund.

Disclaimer: I work for Mozilla; pardon my snark about taxes. It's a sore point.
This was my first thought. I think the premise is founded in a kind of survivorship bias which is worsened by the fog of time.

"There are many scientists that believe solar forcing is responsible"

The solar constant in the past 400 years has varied less than 0.2 percent.

"It is well known that cosmic rays effect cloud formation."

Not well known, because the research is still ongoing. Henrik Svensmark's research in a dust- and impurity-free atmosphere contributed to our understanding of aerosol microphysics, but others agree that the effect in the real, present-day atmosphere is very tiny.

"Cosmic particles would be negligible compared with the background aerosol and the aerosol humans are adding by burning things, tilling soil, etc.”

"If clouds were affected by cosmic rays, they would have been affected a hundred times more strongly by human air pollution, and the world would have cooled over the past century, rather than warmed."

it really is.
I guess I don't really understand this. Even without the old extension apis, it's still more powerful than anything Chrome has to offer. You don't get the access you want, so you go to something with even less access?
I have a feeling this has to do with different finger types. We all expect a different part of our finger to be the "tip" that registers as the cursor/pointer. Maybe the os could calibrate over time based on where you hit buttons.
Multiple profiles in Chrome is super useful, but it doesn't work at the tab level, does it? Just at the window level? Not that that's a fundamental change, but it's a nice usability bump
Strange, it runs just as fast as Chrome on my 2013 MBP
I am worried about Chromium gaining too much control over de facto browser standards, but bear in mind Chrome started as a fork of WebKit. There’s nothing to stop MS diverging the code base and making it distinctly their own.

I wonder if this is about Microsoft making a cross platform browser?
My son has seen this post and points out that he not only uses unreal engine - to my complete surprise (and not just a little delight) - he has deployed some c++. I sent him to bed because it's late. Dad;s will know why.

Can’t find the article, but there was a case a few years ago where a Chinese tourist sprayed bear mace ON HIS KIDS because he thought, not unreasonably, that it was like mosquito repellent. I assume the vacation was ruined after that.
I think the reason is probably network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris and network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris in about:config, and your authentication is failing.

Since Chrome, Edge, and IE uses Windows certificate infrastructure and Firefox uses its own, it won't understand directive perhaps pushed through your company's group policy. You can specify address of your intranet site, in style of https://.example.com (where subdomain of example.com is covered in this case) and it should work.

As for certificate, is it using internal certificate of some sort? If that's the case, you will have to load it to Firefox's NSS.
> but also because an app known for NSFW conflicts with their "image"

Anecdotal, but I once found overt prostitution on a classifieds app on the App Store. It’s an app with no category for such services and an age rating of 4+. We’re talking full blown nudity, with a phone number and a link to another site with yet more photos. I know (thought) Apple cared about that, so I reported the situation. They shrugged it off and said it was the developer’s responsibility. I pointed out that web browsers have a 17+ rating exactly because they allow access to that type of content. They still didn’t care.
Wow, by 2100 it will cost the US 10% of its economy? You mean a small size recession? And you all are such a fuss about? And for that you want to deprive 3rd world people from gaining the same benefits you get from energy?

This is alarmism on the grandest scale and a horrifying hypocritical at that. There is nothing we can do about CO2 right now. We can just continue to work on safer and cleaner ways to generate electricity (atomic mainly, fusion hopefully, solar for the local homes, etc.)
Never knew this. Thanks for sharing.
Unless you are saying that “EEE” and being destructive is a necessary condition to being successfull I don’t see how that comment is relevant to the issue with standards I addressed.
I "laughed out loud" at the idea Facebook thinks having things revealed during discovery that are embarrassing is new or some uniquely targeted kind of bullying directed specifically at them.

I think FB is so use to pumping money into DC lobbying that encountering a functional government investigation shocked and awed them.
Hmm ok yeah, that wouldn't be it then. However it's still good to know! I'd love to be able to just disable the remote without taking out the battery or storing it in some faraday cage.

A very nice property of open source software is that you can fork it, "show that it can be done" without having to start from scratch, and if the results are provably better, get your approach adopted.

The trickiest part is the proving that the different approach technology is enough better to warrant a switch. Very often, new approaches don't live up to expectations (not saying this is the case for the tech you're talking about).
Why do they pay tax when they are from what I know partly non profits?
If you stage things often enough, `git add -u` might be enough. It's pretty much what I use all the time, aside from the few times I do `git add -up`.
I tried switching to Firefox twice after Quantum came out. I LOVE LOVE container tabs (which chrome had them, not just profiles).

Only reason I came back is their Android browser kinda sucks. Addons constantly crash in the mobile browser, and its not integrated well with the password manager APIs and other stuff. It was a pain in the ass to use.

Their auto-fill sucks compared to Google's and just overall if I take out container tabs, Firefox just doesn't work for me like Chrome does. So I switched back, installed SessionBox, and while not perfect, gets close to container tabs.
Agreed.

The original pre-Google Android was a Blackberry-killer, and I don't reckon that was a good way to go.

You can see some early prototype devices here:

As usual for Ars, it has a far more detailed history, with pre-1.0 screenshots:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/10/building-android-a-4...

You can see that, before the iPhone, it started out as a Blackberry clone, or something like it. And that, IMHO, was far to geeky a toy to change the world as the iPhone did.
Dang, I really respect you; you are a pretty amazing and patient moderator. However, the odds of there being paid propagandists here are extremely high, even without glaring evidence. HN is probably the most influential technology / startup / venture capital forum on Earth. Many important people and groups read this site daily. Those factors alone make it a target for influence campaigns. So, it would be extremely unlikely for HN to be completely free from it, especially given the current state of world affairs and that it’s well known that online influence campaigns are very effective.

That’s not a rip on you, the previous poster, or anyone. It’s just a statement that, yeah, sometimes it is important to highlight a poster’s potential bias. Why would you not want to?

Also, I’m curious: what technologies do you guys use to identify bad actors? Maybe if I understood the sophistication of your methods, I would have more trust. There are a lot of smart people here (much smarter than me) who may want to help.
True, but that for me is a feature (I almost always want new tabs to open in the same container; for instance, when reviewing a Github PR and clicking through to see context).

But from a privacy UX perspective, both Chrome and Firefox accommodate this use case gracefully.
I'm not really interested (here) in the reality of the interaction between the electron and the nucleus. I don't think the existence of an electromagnetic field is a good argument against its own existence as argued by FabHK further up.

I also don't think FabHK's argument works as an analogy to my problem with negative mass. The electromagnetic field is not self-reinforcing in the same way.

Imagine that you're holding a marble of negative glass in your fist. Negative glass is indistinguishable from ordinary glass except that its mass is negative rather than positive.

As we all know, the first step in solving any physics problem is to draw a free-body diagram. ( http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20130616.png ) Let's draw one here. First, we'll do one for an ordinary marble:

1. The enormous mass of the earth attracts the marble downward proportionately to the marble's mass.

2. The marble cannot accelerate downward, because it's stuck in your fist. Your fist experiences a downward force equal to the weight of the marble.

3. By Newton's third law, your fist exerts an upward force on the marble equal to the force exerted by the marble on your fist. This is exactly equal to the weight of the marble, but in the opposite direction. The two forces cancel, and the marble is at rest.

Now for the negative marble:

1. The enormous mass of the earth attracts the marble downward proportionately to the marble's mass. Because that mass is negative, the marble attempts to accelerate upward.

2. The marble can't accelerate upward, because it's stuck in your fist. Your fist experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the marble.

3. By Newton's third law, your fist exerts an downward force on the marble equal to the force exerted by the marble on your fist. This is exactly equal to the weight of the marble, and in the same direction, effectively doubling the marble's weight. The marble is now trying twice as hard to accelerate upward into your fist.

2. (Again.) The marble can't accelerate upward, because it's stuck in your fist. Your fist experiences an upward force equal to double the weight of the marble. Nothing has moved; we're still just trying to work out the balance of forces within the system at rest.

3. (Again.) You can see where this is going.

What is the conceptual breakthrough that rescues negative mass from this trap? (Note that saying the marble has negative inertial and gravitational mass, as opposed to negative inertial mass and positive gravitational mass, doesn't help: the marble will be trying to accelerate downward instead of upward, but it will still be doing it with infinite force.)
It's not about one factory farmer being connected so directly to your specific choices, it's more like: restauranteers and grocers increasingly notice customers insisting on local, humanely raised, grass-fed beef, and thus they reduce their factory-meat order size and quantity. Factory farmer asks why, maybe gets an answer and thinks about improving conditions, or maybe doesn't in which case it's still a net win as the market share shifts in favor of the "good guys".

You're right. This sentence and the general syntax of the language mislead me

Thanks for being kind about pointing out my massive presupposition
I share your sentiment on the piece, but recognize there are two responses here;

1) You have no romance in your soul.

2) You have lost sight of the 'now'.

For #1, people who transport themselves elsewhere into different times, different places, different people consider this quite satisfying. This is especially true in religious contexts which are short on 'modern' validation. So walking the same path as Christ did to be crucified, traveling the same path as Mohammed to Mecca, burnt offerings in druid shrines, etc. The act of re-creating or 'being in the shoes of' someone whom you know now only in writings. For some brings them closer to that person, it evokes the question "This is what it must have felt like to be <the person being emulated.>".

#2 is the one I run into more often though, which is that I don't appreciate the instant in time that is "now." These are the people, these are the smells, these are the feeling (good and bad), these are the sounds, Etc. I have met people who work very hard to "freeze the moment" in their consciousness so that they can use it in their art (be it painting, sculpting, acting, whatever). I don't feel like I have enough spare memory cycles to do that but I recognize that is just me.

So this article is written by someone who is trying to connect with a paycheck in a meaningful way, and that means words, at least 2,500 of them, on a topic that is essentially walking from here to there, along a path that a lot of people knew about and walked before. I expect they know their audience and want to connect with people who feel history 'speaks' to them when it is recreated and folks who seek out experiences that they can catalog in some sort of singular way.

In that regard I think the author was quite successful.
This is somewhat related to a hack I threw together recently: https://github.com/ecordell/jf

It attempts to address a similar problem (comparing json or subsets of json), but I wanted the structure of what was being compared to be more readable (compared to jq), so I went with graphql syntax. Doubt it would do great on larger datasets though.
Poster's user handle is petar, and petar happens to have merged the latest PR in Ko repository, so I'd say there's a pretty good chance it is the same person.
I know it's happened to every company where I've worked. It happens so rarely, though, that people don't have enough opportunity to learn from it. Even at Google they were on their Nth such outage for a large value of N before it became apparent that no certificate should ever expire at 23:59:59 on December 31, or otherwise outside of normal operating hours. Seriously 20 years of organizational knowledge required to get the company to understand that certs should expire at noon on a Wednesday to minimize time-to-repair in the inevitable event that one is allowed to lapse.

This makes a lot of sense. I have never seen Pore-Over written right, and pronounced, I always thought it was Pour and as an immigrant (even though i came here when I was 5 years old) it never quite made sense, but I went with it. Now that I know the word "pore" exists with this definition, it makes so much more sense.
They are. See their battery cells getting sold by the truckload? They just aren't pursuing vertical integration.
