How is that any different than today? When you have a mortgage, you don't own the property; the lender does (only they've also externalized all the risk to the government via Freddie). If you fail, you might not lose everything, but you lose all the non-principal, which is effectively everything for the first half of the mortgage term. And if you fail while the market is down, you can lose even more than you've paid in.

We've probably already lost that war, because almost all sites today include hundreds of kilobytes of extraneous javascript tracking cruft, and blocking it will frequently break the page display.

At least Mozilla is trying to help on that front with their privacy tools and container tabs.

You are somewhat close but a little confused on the meaning of en banc. From my brief scan of the link, the trial judge was Judge Alsup of the Northern District of California (San Francisco) which awarded fees. Judge Aslup reduced the fees. The case was appealed to the 9th circuit to a three judge panel on at least the fees issue (presumably other issues as well). The three judge panel (normal appellate practice) sided with Judge Alsup.

At that point, the only option legally to appeal the appellate court is to ask for an en banc hearing with all (or eleven judges pointed out below) the appellate court judges in the 9th circuit or go to the supreme court (which is unlikely for the issue). en banc is not necessarily a case or issue of extreme importance but another appeal mechanism and also a way for the appellate court to clarify a rule of law or reverse course on a rule of law. en banc happens often in the appellate courts.

Edit: I scanned the en banc opinion - it was purely about fees calculation stating "We reheard this appeal en banc to clarify the standards applicable to awards of attorneys’ fees under the EAJA."
Skimming the articles it estimates there are 42000 tons of mega(large) plastics, of which 86% would be fishing nets, so 36120 tons. Didn't find the per annum data, but that's certainly much more than 4 tons a year (else it would've taken 9030 years to get current weight), I'd guess at least 2000 tons per year.

That's just your opinion. I do not mind sharing data with them by default because I know the data helps their long-term survival. Especially because I know I'm lazy (like most people are) so if it's opt-in I wouldn't bother turning things on.

He mentioned the guy that started the residency program, Halstead, in John Hopkin turned out to be a cocaine addict. He stressed that a doctor needs to work all the time. No one knew about his drug addiction until he had passed away.

He even tried to get rid of the addiction by checking into a rehab up north but came away in addition to the cocaine addiction but also a morphine addiction as well.
Vivaldi is definitely proprietary so I seriously doubt that license you found is for the browser as a whole; it may just be for a library the browser uses internally, among many others.

I essentially have. If you compare the specs of the S vs non-S you'll see they basically didn't change anything. Same CPU, GPU, memory, clockspeed etc.

Interesting thesis but,

1. turn them off. Like any other application on the planet, you get some defaults and you turn on/off what you want, yourself, if what you want is different from the default. Settings => Home => Firefox Home Content. There's even a settings shortcut on the new tab view to take you to those settings, so turn it off first and see if you feel better now that you'll never see pocket ever again.

2. No it's not, that makes no sense. Processing your local behaviour, and never sending that information to anyone else, is not "the antithesis of what Mozilla stands for" in the slightest. What do you think happens here? Do you think they're sending that metadata to pocket, which then does _more_ processing on their end to match your preferences to recommendations? Because if so: that's not what happens, and it's time to read up on how pocket recommendations actually work to see if you're upset with them for a legitimate reason or whether you just completely misunderstood how this works.

Before the apologists roll in: Cliqz GmbH is a media and advertising company, and Firefox DOES NOT own Cliqz GmbH, they just own a bit of it (officially they are a "minority investor").

The Mozilla Corporation sent private data of its users without their permission to a third party ad company. It's despicable and unforgivable.
Good points.

And brings out the problem with IPv6- there is no sector pushing IPv6, because no sector sees the benefits.

Question is why does no sector see it? My theory is that it adds a lot complexity and planning for little gain. So no sector is going to push for it.

I am in an internal conversation regarding building an app vs a website and would love to have some ammo for my arguments.

Consultant is trying to sell an app and to me that looks crazy given that a website could fulfill the same purpose without platform fragmentation, installation etc.
The cryptoeconomic circle
Elsewhere, the ISPs are doing the IPv6 rollout in the worst possible way imaginable: DS-Lite with no PCP for AFTR (i.e. no way to have incoming IPv4), and allocating only /64 subnet, where their CPE is mandatory in router mode, no way to switch it to bridge mode (thus losing control of your own gateway. I'm talking about you, UPC/Liberty Global).

For just consuming the web, it is fine. For switching from public IPv4, is is insufficient.

I would posit that BluRay has been less successful for two other reasons:

1. DVD video quality is good enough for most.

2. The Combination of DRM, unskippable portions, and similar is enough of a barrier to discourage the upgrade. Personally, I will only watch a movie on disk when I don’t have time to rip it and remove that crap.
Considering that ipv6 has been around for more than 20 years?
A lot of the reasons you specify are pretty much true, it's the way you word it (and posting more than once when not responding to anyone) that is hurting your comment the most.
4-choose-1 makes 53% a lot more impressive than when I assumed it was true/false. I had, like the other poster, assumed it was a sum of random chance, statistical deviation, and publication bias, but 53% suggests it's doing a little better than that.
Where on earth are you going? Chrome? There are no other independent browser engines left besides Firefox, web browsers are a duopoly now and if you think Google is better on data collection and ads than Mozilla, I have a bridge to sell you.

I just read "How to Change your Mind" by Michael Pollan. It appears we are inching closer to freeing psychedelic drugs (psilocybin and LSD for example) for medical use via psychedelic therapist. Michael goes over a lot of new research and revisits older research (1950s - 1970s) showing the effectiveness of these drugs when administered by a professional to help cure depression and break addictions to substances like alcohol and nicotine.
> I'd argue that comments like these are fluff.

It depends on who you're trying to reach. Since the GP wants his open-source commits to be "learning opportunities for others," it might make sense to comment in that level of detail.

That particular comment does contain semantic information which is not expressed in the code: that the thread is being prioritized for rendering purposes. It's possible you could communicate that through variable names, though.
And here's my anecdotal evidence:

I have only been served image captchas since forever. I literally thought the warped text captchas had been phased out. I literally never see anything but image captchas.
Is that really true? In my experience, 99.9% of the time I don't need an exact number; the vanishingly few times when I have such a need (almost entirely calculations involving currency), using a fixed point representation is simple enough.
Great tool, thank you for building it and sharing it. I especially like your configurability among what to clone or not, and your good handling of so many edge cases.

IMHO the concept of "deep clone" is a design pattern and a potential language improvement idea. An example is "How does this deep clone handle external items, or transient items, or circular items?" Your project shows (correctly IMHO) that there many be many choices, and also reasonable defaults.
>you have no business having my data in the first place...

???

Mozilla doesn't have your data.

The only way Mozilla would ever have any of your data is if you explicitly signed up for one of their services to hold your data for syncing purposes or something.

Unless you very actively said "Take my data please!" at some point, there really are very few things Mozilla would be able to do to get at your data. (In fact, by far the easiest thing for them to do would be to forget about using firefox and just buy the data from Facebook or Google.)
captcha is a lie.
Can you say anything to back up the claim that "speech still has power" in China? That seems to go against what the pro-censorship commenters are saying, which is that most people in China know all the bad stuff anyway and just don't care. If that's true, it seems like words have lost all power.
One of the problems with letting people in a profession set the requirements for that profession is that they exaggerate them to limit competition and increase their earnings. You end up with things like radiologists saying they need to know cellular biology. It's simply ludicrous on its face.

Radiology is a particularly egregious case. If it weren't for legal protection the profession would be dramatically different. It's obviously stupid to spend a bunch of time training them to interpret and diagnosis a bunch of different scans. Basic efficiency would be to train Person A to interpret chest X-Rays, person B to do CT scans, Person C for leg X-rays and have them spend all day doing that one thing. Instead, radiologists spend a decade learning how to interpret a hundred different things and spend 1/100 of their time on each of them.
They don’t need to, but they have found it to be more… optimal.
So in your mind, the only way this guy can not be an asshole is if he prioritizes your preferences over his own, but you don't apply this same litmus to yourself. You could walk across the street. You could bring an umbrella. You could decide that second hand smoke from a single cigarette in an open area outside will have effectively zero health consequences for you and maybe to just let it go this one time. Again I actually agree with you that he is kinda being a dick, the point of my previous comment and this one is I find it odd that you have one set of standards for how others should treat your desires and a completely separate one for the way you handle theirs.
What a meaningless statement.
I wanted to buy native IPv6 access from my ISPs for a long time but it was not possible every where. I get it now from a Comcast business account. My Google search traffic is now over IPv6. Admittedly my networking interests are probably too rare to make a market force thru numbers.
While I agree ff on Android has big lag problems, where are the built in ads?
I assume Mozilla makes a fair bit of money from the Pocket recommendations, and disabling it is one checkbox in the settings screen.

> an irrelevant point anyway since it's often synced with your Firefox account anyway

Only if you sign up for a Firefox account and enable sync!

> the point is they're collecting data on your personal preferences... the generated metadata representing a personal profile of you is.

I don't think this is true. They say:

> Recommendations from Pocket are displayed on your new tab, we collect information about how many times they appear and whether or not you interact with them. However, this information is not associated with any of the other technical and interaction information about you or your copy of Firefox.

That is why mostly people with wealthy parents will attempt med school. You can trust me, I lived with med students in a living coop for some time. Where CS students rent an apartment in a 30 story block on the outskirts of town, med students live almost in the center and rent a whole house together. It's not even comparable.

And do you think anti depressants get paid by health care? Someone needs to buy them as well. Most CS students I know are happy when they can afford the frozen pizza from the super market.

And that's also the main point here. It is a sign of wealth that you can worry about depression. If you are not, then you are also depressed, probably even more so, but can't spend time worrying about it because you worry about rent and food.
"a least they aren't as bad as Google and Chrome" is far from glowing praise.

AI is extremely far from being ready for field hospital work. The back office is hidden from you as a patient, but you have to realize that hospitals are a huge mess. Really, really messy places that remind you that medicine is still in its infancy and that medieval times are not far behind. AI absolutely needs a source of information to be efficient. In fact, this is directly related to why doctors work long hours. The information is so scattered, impredictable and irregular that delegating that to AI today is both physically and financially unthinkable. It will be one day, but not today, and not in the coming years.
Because the actual surgeon is not a resident at the end of a 24 hour shift, it's a staff doctor on call or a local doctor with privileges at that hospital or surgery center.

Don't like Pocket, don't use it. I personally find it convenient, I'm not at the point I consider everything I browse equally sensitive. There are pages I don't consider being particularly sensitive I want to read later without cluttering my tabs. I really understand peoples wanting to protect everything, it's a valid choice, but I'm not there yet personally, thus for me Pocket is useful.

I actually love Pocket, finding it great for organising my many bookmarks - but at the same time, I don't want proprietary services built into Firefox.

IMO, Pocket should be an extension, same as any other. Though I wouldn't even mind if the Firefox installer asked if I wanted to install this extension during installation, treating it as a kind of "Mozilla recommended" extension.
For 1% of the users opting out of telemetry. And anonymized. And also the data not being telemetry related.

That's a curious and a bit off topic phenomenon: in some countries dominant class have tried to form people to create a real country, that's Russian Tsar Peter the Great for instance that create a sort of "Intelligentsia" to create a united country and that's result in Russian October revolution (that's was led in fact by Peter's Intelligentsia not by "proletarians") in Italy we do the opposite and the country is still not really united. In Germany even if there were far less language differences and even if Germany was united "before" people coming from ex-DDR zone still act "as strangers" in the ex-"west Germany" zones.

I never really study history in that sense but decoupling parochialism and substantial differences between people's in a country may be an interesting exercise :-)
Really interesting article.

Cancer is definitely shapeshifting and it's a constant battle on all fronts.

One drug may work now (eg. anti folates) but then remission fails and it's back to the fight.

The primary tumor may go into semi-remission but mestasis may happen then you have to treat that instead.

The tumors suck so much energy from the person's body so it can attack on that front too.

I think immunotherapy is the future and am really sad that it is so expensive. It's like Elysium, Keytruda is ~$400k it's sad how costly these drugs are.

I think diet, environment, and habit are the things that have the most effect over time because it's really just your cells multiplying in an uncontrollable rate and the body cannot stop the function or the garbage collectors are unable to make the cell perform aptosis.

There are many things that go in and out of your body over time that will help increase or decrease the amount of these types of cells that are produced.
> separating the idea that "something happened" from "here's how the state updates in response" is key

The idea is great, and has/had already been proven its value many times before. I love it, and I wanted to love redux for providing it to the masses. But every single experience I've had actually using redux (both my projects and other people's) had ended up with verbose, cumbersome and... messy code to read and analyze.

The ideal? I want to define a function with its parameters and that function performs the logic and data massaging it needs to. When I want that behaviour to trigger because something happened, I want to describe a call to that function with the right parameters with minimal scaffolding. Ideally, it would look exactly like I call that function, and the machinery that would turn that into posting an action that eventually reaches a reducer would be hidden from my sight. I do not want that scaffolding polluting my code. Defining string names for my functions? They are functions, they already have a name. Defining action objects to store the parameters? I already have a place for that, it's called "function parameters".

I don't know what sort of magic could provide this seamless integration of the reactive patterns into javascript, sort of some transpilation machinery. But I really, REALLY do not want it visible in my code.
Trivial for your average HN user, but "normal" users can't be expected to go poking around in an undiscoverable settings feature that warns them about dragons.

Dr Wible who wrote the article on med students on medication (antidepressants and/or stimulants) did a TEDMED talk on "Why doctors kill themselves" http://www.idealmedicalcare.org/why-doctors-kill-themselves/

If the healer is mentally ill (and most of them are), how can we expect the best medical care? The fact that med students take medication is just the tip of the iceberg.
