If Mozilla can't reach enough user now, why would they do with a fork of Blink ? It's not a web engine problem, it's just that Google is too powerful and Chrome is everywhere, so they decide.

And actually it is better for innovation not to use to Blink. WebRender is potentially much more performant than any other engine and it would never had existed if Mozilla were just aligning with Blink

Mississippi looks particularly bleak in regards to broadband speeds.
I don't think so. I joined facebook back when it was 'cool', but it's not just my generation that are now adults that are on there. My parents, my friends parents, adults in their 50/60s+ have all joined facebook and are very active despite not being on there when it was only used by college students. Part of the reason why many younger people are no longer as active on Facebook is because anyone from their boss to their aunt to their grandma is now likely to see their posts.
That's obviously not the case, otherwise they'd have banned only that.

I can't comment on the Valley, not having spent a huge amount of time there, but here in the UK I tend to find that anyone using the term "meritocracy" seriously tends to use it in a rather self justifying way "we are a meritocracy, I have been successful, therefore I have merit therefore I deserve all the rewards I can get".

However, I do welcome the type of meritocracy where people like Aneurin Bevan can go on to influence our lives in such a positive way:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneurin_Bevan

[He started work down a mine at 13 and went on to found the NHS].

Also, on the military side it used to be possible for someone to rise from private soldier to Chief of the Imperial General Staff - something, even with a far smaller military, would be impossible today - a point made by the military historian Richard Holmes.

You'd be surprised. Since switching is so low, you can pay your way to acquiring all the supply and demand to kick something off, hence all the ridesharing companies in NYC: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ubers-competitors-in-nyc-are-...

If you subsidize driving and subsidize riding significantly, people will sign up. A $40 bonus covers several rides for a customer so they'll hold onto the app at least until they've used their initial free offering.
> Yes, the exact guidelines are going to be vague, that’s a good thing. It might just show they understand that it should be okay to allow art and breastfeeding and other forms of nudity that aren’t explicitly pornographic.

"Vagueness" and room for interpretation is not inherently bad, as you point out. But it's dangerous when your policies for automated filtering are vague, because filters almost always play it safe and end up creating a large number of false positives (i.e. wrongful content takedowns).
I recently learned that I went to school with people of all kinds of colour. When I was at school I was genuinely colour blind.

How did I make this discovery?

At a funeral, meeting some of my dad's friends. One couple said 'you must know Marcus' and then proceeded to describe him by colour. That didn't help. But when they said that he did the posters for the school debating society I remembered who this Marcus character was, and quite clearly. It was his eloquence in the aforementioned debating society that I did remember, not his black skin.

There were other parents-of-contemporaries there who had kids that could not have been white. So I then clocked details I did remember - Asian style eyelids without the crease, darker skin tone etc. Seems as if there was more diversity at the school I went to than I can remember. I had assumed everyone was white, but this was definitely not the case.

We did actually have kids being teased for having ginger hair, I can't remember being the one using the shameful gingerist words but I must have been chuckling away though.

I can remember racist words and how there was no association between the words and the persons who were supposed to be derided by such words. I distinctly remember using a derogatory term for people from the Indian sub-continent and my parents correcting me about that. Beatings were allowed in the 1980's... The context of that was a retail establishment where us kids had a name for it that turned out to be quite racist. We didn't know that, we just thought it was the name of the place. The more backward folks in the older generation had 'taught' us this particular word, we didn't know the connotations.

So, think again, are you sure you didn't go to school with any black kids? You could have been genuinely oblivious.

I also wonder why I was so deluded and what the balance has to be between different shades of skin colour for 'them and us' racism to happen. Had our school been 50% black I am sure I would not have had my naive 'everyone was white' memories, but a small percentage of black folks in a white school would have been memorable too.
Well, on a mobile device I can take photos or videos, but they are not my creation: even if I construct a scene I only create the scene, not the video/shoot. The phone have done it, outside my real controls. More important recorded bit are not mine, nor under my control. They are tied to the device or to someone else computer.

You may state that even on my computer I act only through software, but there is a difference: first of all is software I can write, read and deploy myself (try to develop on Android for Android and deploy the code), so I can know and program my own environment on itself. Second it's something I can examine with simple tools, no need for jtag, soldering, or potentially destructive operation to see my bits, I can even open my raw disc with an editor.

Of course not all people want to create stuff but for me having designed devices that are more powerful than many ancient computer and that they can do far, far, far less, only adding things that we can already do with dedicated devices it a failure for me.

We talk about recycling to reduce the damage we do to our environment and we design expensive devices that can barely last few years (two/three max in mean), that are super-hard to repair and normally repaired device is not "as new" like my own desktop is "as new" when I change mobo or disk. We talk about being flexible in a changing world and we create devices that are substantially not upgradable nor modifiable by the user and often even by the OEM. We say that it's forbidden that a landlord enter in it's rented apartment and then we allow systems that after being formally bought are normally configured and modified/monitored by tons of different subjects. I can go far longer...

Ask HN: Good Django codebases to read
I've been involved in a migration of a medium-size codebase to Django and it's been a pleasure so far. The code is a lot shorter and easier to contribute to. However, it's difficult to find codebases that solve more advanced problems beyond those discussed in the official Django documentation.

Are there any good examples of mature Django apps that include proper authentication and session handling, caching, a modern API (e.g. using DRF), and other features of the Django framework?

I live in the United States, and therefore not subject to such infringements on my rights. While well intentioned (the road to hell is paved with good intentions, as the cliche goes), it's a slippery slope towards tyranny when those in power or the majority are deciding what speech is undesirable, and prosecuting you for it (look to Russia and their persecution of the LGBT; all it takes is public opinion to swing for you to be disenfranchised as a citizen when you decide what speech to regulate).

Europe sometimes makes me chuckle; Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted during the French Revolution in 1789, specifically affirmed freedom of speech as an inalienable right. But hate speech is icky, so not so inalienable!

The social contract and public policy is a balance. I do not endorse hate speech, but I am vehemently against restricting speech. Undesirable speech is the cost of a free society.
"Uber and Lyft are only slightly cheaper than taxis"

A taxi from my home to/from the airport is $50-$55 with tip. Uber is $20-$25 non surge (which is most of the time). Before Uber, on an outbound I would always have a friend take me or drop me at BART. On the return, since the taxi is right there, I would take it about half the time.

Now I take Uber/Lyft almost all the time. I'm not sure what I'll do when/if Uber goes up to $50.
I haven't had the time to read the full article, however I think I might have an answer to your question.
The entropy computes the strength of the algorithm used to generate passwords, not the strength of the password itself. So basically, you are getting the strength of the password if the attacker knows the algorithm.

> My first thought was to write a ruby script to parse and compare the two exports, but after spending a little time coding something up I had a program that was starting to get fairly complicated, didn't work correctly, and was too slow—my first cut took well over an hour. Then I thought: is this one of those situations where a simple series of shell commands can replace a complex purpose-built script?

Key takeaway: next time, start with the second thought first and save yourself well over an hour!
> I'm a developer and a Firefox user.

By developer, do you mean web developer?

I tried to use Chrome dev tools, and they were incredibly easy to pick up; however whenever I try to use Firefox dev tools, they feel embarrassingly awkward. Perhaps it's just the familiarity with the tools (and if so, I am very curious to hear whether you prefer Firefox dev tools over Chrome's), but have a nagging feeling that it's just an inferior developer tool.
> This is so ill-defined as to be useless.

The article you linked provides some quotes from Marx and Engels which argue that full equality along all dimensions can never be achieved. But this didn't stop all the implementations of Marxism in real life to still push the equity thing hard. So your argument is actually immaterial.

> That is, the outcome of the competition is, by and large, predetermined.

I disagree. The Western states have social lifts that are designed to allow people from low-income families to still be able to achieve high positions in society, given talent and hard work. Public schools, state-sponsored higher education, public health care, children services are examples of such lifts. If these systems do not work very well, then we should improve them as opposed to favoring a Black kid at the entry exam of university at the expense of an Asian kid who is just as smart. Because once we start discriminating and making preferences, it's very hard to stop.

Especially when the problem we're trying to solve by throwing resources at is not the real problem. E.g. some Black communities have a very particular set of problems absent in other communities, for example MUCH higher rate of single-parenthood than in any other community with similar income in the USA. 73% children in Black families are born out of marriage. Clearly, it's a cultural thing. You can't solve these problems by throwing money at them, money actually can make it worse. So we need to have an honest conversation about the real problems our communities are facing instead of following a blanket "all the people are exactly equal, so every group at the bottom of the hierarchy must be discriminated against" approach.
I can't speak for Servo, but Mozilla pretty firmly gave up on trying to have a good embedding story for Gecko and SpiderMonkey (in the name of being able to rapidly iterate on APIs, which never ended up settling down) somewhere around 2009. I contend that one of Mozilla's big mistakes was to give up on embedding.
Hm, I had always heard "street hail" to refer to what (I think) you mean, when you request it by line-of-sight, not "hail" by itself.
Yup, also no mention of salting the passwords.

The 200 billion md5 hashes per second figure they use matches up nicely with this 8x GTX 1080 system: https://gist.github.com/epixoip/a83d38f412b4737e99bbef804a27... which cracks bcrypt (at a weak security factor) two million times slower.

So, that same system would crack a 3 word password at this weak bcrypt setting in about 3 years, and a 4 word password in 50 thousand years.
From a purely investment point of view, why would anyone invest in Lyft over Uber? Lyft has a smaller footprint and only operates in the US (except Toronto). They are more susceptible to economic conditions in a single country, the US, and every point of marketshare they get is a zero-sum game against Uber and presumably expensive because Uber won't give it up for free.

Uber has a global operations, is in multiple streams of business and has diversity across business lines and countries so even if there's a recession in one country, it might be made up for in other countries.

So what's the investment story then for Lyft?

In my experience, and from what I remember from my own training, the scrum master can very well be part of the team. Having somebody external, objective, well trained, and available exactly when the team needs him looks very good... but pretty difficult to do in practice.
It'll be handy cover though if you get caught introducing your own backdoor code.

Why not use simple HTTP authentication?
I have been addicted to 4chan for 10 years now, /pol/ since inception, and this is the first I hear of meritocracy being white supremacy.

/pol/ in particular gets a lot of fun from getting progressives to jump at shadows ("It's ok to be white", and that unsuccessful campaign to turn a lone black dot into a symbol of white supremacy). The "O.K. symbol as white supremacist" also came from them I think, and the intent was to get progressives to seem crazy for flipping out at something so innocuous.
This is just not correct.

To start a new ridesharing company all you have to do is attack and carve off the most profitable element of the big company's product mix.

All you need is to undercut them in certain high profitability routes, like airport runs, or luxury vehicles for executives, or anything, and you have a toehold.

There are some positive network effects, but there are also negative network effects. Having more users doesn't mean you always win as the big company.

For example if you have no customers all you have to do is be outside of a stadium at the end of a show, or waiting by an airport during a busy landing period, and have rudimentary abilities to let people know you exist, and you'll get defectors.
> would implement the language in {foo}

If that choice becomes perceivable to anyone but the authors and maintainers of the language itself, I'd say that's a first class failing, isn't it?

The quality of a language should be a pure function of the language itself; the interpreter doesn't (or rather, shouldn't) enter into it.
> PPS: also to add to less known evil moves by Google - their U2F websites refuse to work in Firefox, despite it supporting U2F for a long time.

The one that still sticks in my craw is that they never bothered to add support for Hangouts in Firefox. Hangouts was modified to use WebRTC in Chrome, but relied on a plugin in Firefox--despite Firefox actually implementing the relevant WebRTC features first.
Sure, but how big would those issues need to be?

Would it be worthwhile to make a fork over HTML imports? Suppose that in a mono-engine world Google decides to build AMP directly into the browser rather than on top of Javascript -- would that be a big enough issue to make a fork? I was (like many people) fairly disappointed about Web DRM, but I was happy that Firefox was at least planning to put some additional sandboxing above what Chromium was doing. Would they have forked a codebase just to introduce that extra sandboxing?

You're right that Open Source does allow us to reverse course and fork Blink later if something terrible happens. Remember though, the moment that someone like Mozilla or Microsoft makes a fork, at that point they're back to the same situation that they're in right now -- even worse, because they're stuck using a codebase that wasn't architectured specifically to meet their goals. That provides a big incentive to wait as long as possible before deciding, "heck it, we'll build our own engine."

What I would suggest is that there are at this moment already at least minor organizational issues within Chromium, and there are currently benefits to having multiple browser engines. We could give up those benefits and get them back later if stuff got really bad. But it would mean waiting until things got really bad; and ignoring all of the tiny, daily decisions before that point that go in to setting the direction of the web.

Remember that the web isn't supposed to break backwards compatibility. If you don't get things right the first time, there isn't a second chance to change them.
Yeah its really bad. I reviewed my (exclusively adult) tumblr when they started hiding things and it was comical what did and didn't get banned.

Shirtless guy on the beach? Banned!

Completely naked person with genitals in full view, posed to arouse prurient interests? Totally fine, apparently.

Totally agree that they should have used existing tools. As for the CP issue, they absolutely should be using the tools published by Microsoft, the FBI, etc. - it is totally shameful if they weren't already doing that.
Agreed. Many countries already require publicly funded research be made available for open access. A list of US government agencies that require such access after an embargo period is presented here: https://scholcomm.columbia.edu/open-access/public-access-man...

When you agree to a set of terms, and then violate that set of terms, you are on the hook.

Why should Huawei get extra warning shots? They knew they would have to comply with US law and sanctions if they wanted to do business in the US. They chose to try and ignore those sanctions. Ignorantia juris non excusat.

You are suggesting that we make let international companies import products under a pretense, and then we are supposed to politely remind them of their obligations every time they run off the rails?

Huawei is one step away from being a branch of the Chinese intelligence service. We did the right thing.
Then they shouldn't have bought a porn site.
Python is fast at parsing JSON, Go had hard time to match parsing speed of it. Additionally you have PyPy to help.
You have any idea how long does it take to fine-tune a piano? How difficult and expensive is to adjust a Formula 1 bolid for a specific track? How long does it take to train a service dog?

Just because it takes time and effort to master and fine-tune a tool, required process does not render the tool impractical. Au contraire - it makes that tool the best suited for the task.
Everything that you need to know to evaluate international relations can be learned in a school yard.

Canada: 5'4 @110 lb kid in glasses with a pocket protector. Very smart. Has adoring crowd that claps.

Arrested Chinese exec: 4'10, 78lb daughter of a family from a different school somewhere over there. That school has lots of those like the US, US sometimes exchanges words with that school but they are somewhere over there.

Girls shows up in a schoolyard with Canada and the US. US tells Canada: "Give her to me. I have some business with her".

> 2008 ...They are somewhere around 5-30x faster now with significantly better write endurance,

Thats because 2008 to SSDs was like 1982 to HDDs. If you look at 2011 both of your promises are false. SATA SSD in 2011 was as fast as SATA SSD in 2018, but with about 10x more endurance.

The technology to produce crappy SSD is there, but it will "forget" its contents in couple of months when kept unplugged, or burn thru erase cycles in a year while sitting idle, just keeping content alive.
