I switched quite recently, kind of out of principle. I'm trying to return from Chrome to Firefox every couple of years or so. I've been on Firefox for a few weeks now. And I've run into several issues that simply wouldn't affect Chrome, such as certain websites not working properly (eg. only today I had troubles downloading papers from academia.edu - works perfectly on Chrome). This really throws me back.

There's also plenty of little UX niceties you don't even notice on Chrome, but which are missing on Firefox. Eg. if you create a new bookmarks folder and you add a bookmark to it, this folder stays selected as the default option when you're adding another bookmark. This doesn't happen on Firefox for some reason.

Or, another example off the top of my head: I always customize my browsers so that the next tab gets open right next to the current one - not at the end. There are lightweight extensions for both browsers that accomplish just that. But only on Firefox the new tab jumps back and forth when you open it; opening at the end for a fraction of a second, then bouncing back where I want it. On Chrome it's instantaneous.

Or downloading files: Chrome automatically shows a download bar for an ongoing download, and you can open the freshly downloaded file right from there. Firefox doesn't do it. You have to manually tap a rather discreet arrow icon on the toolbar to open the downloads list. (Which you may even forget to, if we speak of a large download that takes several minutes). Maybe there's some extension for that, but Chrome has this by default.

Translating webpages is another one. There are several extensions available for Firefox, but not one of them comes close to the convenience Chrome offers by default in this regard.

I know a lot these are arguably petty things, but boy is there so many of them. And I think at least the majority of don't really fall into the "matter of taste" category. Chrome simply offers more polished user experience, and while these may be details, at the end of the day all these details add up.
All I know about WebRTC is Chrome preventing sleep on my systems with "WebRTC has active peer connections". Made me ditch Chrome before it was fashionable to de-google.

So the only new feature i want from this WebRTC thingy is... an OFF button.
Feature flags + automated deploy on git push.

If this freaks you out, write better tests.
Also a vegan and I'm very concerned about the human exploitation as well. Unfortunately, similar to "men's rights", this topic only seems to come up as an attempt at a rebuttal to veganism and very seldom mentioned in its own right. And remember that animal agriculture exploits humans as badly if not worse than the rest of the agriculture system.
As noted in my examples, the NYT regularly uses 'fallout' to refer to non-radioactive toxics emerging from explosions and other activities as well. This usage is also confirmed by many dictionaries.
At low enough amounts, aflatoxin will be destroyed in the rumen, and won't enter the bloodstream.
There's a lot of legwork to do (relatively speaking) to get a simple FTP server up and running. The UI/UX of domain registrar sites are horrible and filled with dark patterns to upsell you to email hosting, Whois protection, cloud storage, etc. A non-technical person without any webmaster experience might give up here, understandably.

Even if they soldier on, they'll find themselves needing to maintain separate logins for your registrar account, your Wordpress account, your MySQL account (if you decided to install Wordpress) and at no point does the registar site make any of this clear. At least it's not too much work to point the domain towards your server's IP address.

On DigitalOcean, I had to do all of the above, plus rewrite my .htaccess files for prettified URLs since whatever worked on localhost did not work when the files were sitting on a droplet.

Finally, at the end of the day, people are loath to pay $10/mo for web hosting because that's as much as a Netflix subscription, and they had to do all the heavy lifting themselves.
Latter being subsidized? I think the confusion is just that Medium pivoted so many times.

So they subsidized pubs like Matter and then walked away from that. That happened before they had a paywall.

And now they're paying pubs like Better Humans. It sort of feels like being subsidized because they're willing to pay up front based on what they think you'll grow to. But it's really ends up being a partnership where they are cutting you in on their revenue (the expectation is that both sides will make a profit).

They're just not very far along on understanding this partner pubs model.

But I think you'll be seeing a lot more of it. And part of making the switch is not having low quality publications stealing eyeballs from their higher quality pubs.
Your link does not support your claim:

"charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational"

Obviously a university is scientific and literary, and a college is educational.
which browser are you using? From the anecdotes here, it looks like Firefox works on at least Debian and Fedora, so maybe Firefox does something with the user agent to prevent saying what platform it is on.

I really have no problem with FF on Linux - I switched from Chrome right around the release of the quantum version of FF. everything is fast and works fine unless 1. It is a Google service that only runs on Chrome 2. MS service that only runs on Chrome

> 2. "Github's email integration is so poor": why have we brought up email here. Github integrates PR links into the server response of the git push itself. You have actual cli integration here, shown in the output of git. Why bring up email?

That feels like an unfair remark, creating a pull request is only the first step in either workflow, having good email integration is still important for every other step

I'm not sure if this helps or hurts your motivation, but meal tracking was the one thing I said I'd never do ("I'd rather die than be one of those miserable calorie-counters"), but when I started (I use MyFitnessPal, but all should be the same), it was the best thing I had ever done. Not just for results, but for the positive feedback loop. To see, in realtime, "hey, I'm on track to lose 2lbs this week" and then see it show up on the scale, just made it the one thing I ever did that worked.

Without tracking, your inputs and outputs are so disconnected. You might 'eat right and work out' out for a month, and see zero results, and give up. In fact I've done dry january maybe 3 years, and each time I said "well, I guess alcohol's not a problem, because I didn't lose a pound!" It's so easy to tell yourself these obvious lies when you're motivated to hear them, and don't see evidence to the contrary.

The other thing is, it made me realize that most of my habits were actually really good, but the few bad ones were far worse than I thought, from a consumption standpoint.

I've been tracking meals for the whole 18mo, and I barely even notice it anymore. I stopped entirely when I went on a 3 week vacation to south america, but the nice thing is, it's so easy to pick up where you left off.
Oh wow, they added that back. Bummer.

It used to be SECTION 10: LIMITATION ON NON-HTML CACHING. [1] Then with the May 25, 2018 update to the terms [2] they removed that limitation. It has a section 2.7 Acceptable Use but no 2.8. Then they announced their Bandwidth Alliance on September 26, 2018 [3] offering some interesting free bandwidth options, including with places like backblaze which are primarily for storing non-html content. At the time of the announcement it seemed pretty mind blowing, especially because the non-html limitation had been removed previously. However it looks like they later updated their terms again on October 26, 2018 [4] to put back the limitation as section 2.8 Limitation on Non-HTML Caching.

Quite unfortunate. I was actually looking forward to using the bandwidth alliance benefit to access my B2 buckets, however looks like it's against the rules again.

It seems a bit unfortunate to quote a sentence out of context and then misinterpret it like that. Let's expand the quote by one sentence:

> If your site currently uses localStorage, you should try switching to the KV Storage API, and if you sign up for the KV Storage origin trial, you can actually deploy your changes today! All your users should benefit from better performance, and Chrome 74+ users won't have to pay any extra download cost.
Maybe. Or perhaps a pilot disengages the system and stalls the plane.

The ability to spin up your own "digital media company" as Hackernoon has done, with close to no setup costs.
Is it popular to hate on JS these days? Kudos to the author for creating the stuff but would you build the next Amazon.com avoiding JS? More often than not, I see Backend developers taking pride on not using JS rather than vice versa. Also, FB and GOOG aren't naive to spend enormous capital and manpower on React and Angular projects.

Probably will get downvoted but just because someone writes pure C does not make him/her a better developer than someone who just writes Javascript.
Interesting. I haven't used any chat clients in my personal life for 7 years or so. I still have to use whatever my job prescribes, which is currently Skype.
While this is very much true now, it's worth remembering that this isn't some kind of Facebook secret sauce. You found all your friends on Facebook. You could find them again, yes even the long-lost ones, on whatever the hip new thing is.
Available for instant messages, that is. A lot of people treat email like it has a several day SLA. Many others just simply never check it.
What I really want to know is why wasn't this discovered as part of the due diligence for the acquisition?

I thought it was normal to run a security audit of whatever systems a business uses prior to the acquisition?
Yearly turnover costs you probably a month each time, plus increased maintenance costs -- you're going to have to eg replace carpet, paint, and do other light maintenance a lot more often to keep a place in show condition. It also costs significantly increased human effort to manage. And you dramatically increase the chances you get a problem tenant. iow it's horribly expensive.

I'm skeptical of the quality of anyone who sets rent super high. If you do that, you will get difficult tenants. Setting the rent even 5%-ish below market -- $100 or so on a $2500 unit -- gives you the ability to be way more picky around your renters.

My experience: managed over 20 units for 5 years as a part-time gig.
Yes, of course. In Baltimore there's an area called "the white 'L'", and another area called "the black butterfly," describing how the demographics are shaped throughout the city.
I love reading stuff like this. Thanks for posting the link OP.
It's the same point the current highest comment made:

Even though the system was compromised, they assumed the best case instead of the worst case as would be expected with customer data.

The money seems to be a proof that their impact will be larger than just a person who stays at a hotel twice a year.
I was under the impression that it can be only unilaterally "retracted" (i.e., cancel brexit), but extending the negotiation required EU's agreement, which already stated that they wouldn't unless there's a concrete plan?
Interesting - I use Fedora 29 and the defaul fedora repo version of FF with no issues on my end. I know that doesnt help, but it sounds like something specific to your setup (which I know still isn/t much solace :( )
Inattention to autopilot modes has killed before. So much focus is put on pilots recognizing and confirming flight mode annunciator mode changes (such as change of autopilot or autothrottle state) has been put into place to stop that kind of accident.

The lack of feedback from the MCAS system is probably the killer here.

How am I supposed to know that MCAS is operating, and how do I know when to hit trim cutoff switches to override it? You don't want to ever be asking "what the heck is the airplane doing now?". Watching the trim wheel to check if it's spinning nose down all the time isn't going to work.
Yes, pions WebRTC was my inspiration!
And in case of the electrical system being down how do you control the flight when you have fly by wire controls?
How often are your features/fixes ready? How long does your testing take (this sets a lower bound)? How long is the deployment process (adds to that lower bound)? How often does deployment have to be rolled back?

If testing takes a week, you can't get deploy less than weekly. Fix this, get your testing setup to the point where you have enough servers to hit your test instance(s) and get testing done fast (don't cut corners and remove tests).

If deployment takes days, work on getting that more automated so that it can happen more quickly and with less manual intervention. Write more deployment scripts/programs, and test them like you test your code.

If you're rolling back deployments, do an analysis of why. Was there an undetected bug? Why? Manual testing didn't catch it, make it automatic. Testing isn't comprehensive enough, check out other testing techniques like property based testing that can throw more cases at your system. Because the deployment process is manual and someone fat-fingered the wrong value? Move it into a configuration file and automate that step. Repeat.

Iterate on all of these things just like you iterate on the code for the system you're deploying. As you reduce the deployment and testing time (but not their correctness or completeness), you'll be able to get down to deployment times that are weekly or daily (or, in the ideal, continuously with each piece of code pushed to master).
> How do we start the movement back toward decentralized software daily life?

The difference between now and “back then” is that service providers were not optimizing for eyeballs or subscribers or clicks. Chat software was created to actually create communication between people. Subscription software didn’t exist and was balked-at.

So, to answer the question - to swing the pendulum back we need to start building software for its utility again, on open, non-subscription platforms.
The standard "correlation does not equal causation" rebuttal here might be "how do you know that ppl who are unemployed aren't just more likely to take more opioids?" The authors have attempted to address such a rebuttal thusly: "We also present evidence on reverse causality, finding that a short-term unemployment shock did not increase the share of people abusing prescription opioids."

Thank goodness for pions webrtc! I changed my MMO's dev version over to it a couple months ago. This is going to be tons better than the node-electron webrtc proxies running under tmux I was using. Between this, nanomsg, and BadgerDB, I'm going to be removing all of my non-golang dependencies, which is going to enable some very cool stuff.

For one thing, I now have edge servers in my architecture. This means that I can now use my ability to serialize the state of a game instance server process, then inject it into another process without any participation from the client. This will make hot code updates really slick.
The Brexit vote happened to precede a period of sustained global growth, mostly throughout the year 2017, which overshadowed its economic implications. Despite that, UK GDP growth lagged behind other developed countries but it was not enough for the UK citizens opinion to change.

As soon as it starts biting people's pockets, which might happen pretty soon according to Central banks/IMF economic forecasts, I believe a new referendum will be called and the decision will be reversed.

There might not be time for that to happen though.
> All you need to know is "hey, auto trim is acting very funky today and I'm having to fight it. Better override."

Unless you believe your instruments (AoA reading high) and assume the plane is actually doing the correct thing.
Lazy real estate agent can't be bothered to show a unit and just give callers a key code.

Scammers get the code and relist the unit on craigslist $100-$200 below. They try to get people to pay the security deposit and first months rent to them.

Even if you don't care about helping scammers, you're also getting duplicate listings slightly under the cost of the actual listing, taking traffic away from your craigslist ad.
As they point out, they're not going to be affected by customs issues. Anyone depending on physical imports or exports is faced with preparing for unknown but undoubtedly large delays.

Given today's events of voting down the only deal on offer, the only realistic remaining outcomes are chaotic No Deal or No Brexit.
Didn't they advertise something like this a few years ago? I seem to remember trying it and finding that it didn't really work as well as the online recognition at the time.

Absolutely, and a ton of commenters (mostly on Reddit) seem to be missing that point. Use the right tool for the job. In the article I explicitly state that I couldn't have built the drag-and-drop invoice editor without JavaScript (although I wish that I could!).

Big Brother is an all-seeing, all-knowing, totalitarian leader of a society that wields its power for its own sake, using surveillance as a tool towards that end. That's what some massive corporations effectively are today. People think today's Big Brothers are benign because their mission statements seem just or useful, but as I've shown above, there is significant potential for collateral damage.

You're right, and we've needed to control those means numerous times over the millennia. Sometimes just to keep the powerful in power, sometimes to check the powerful, and sometimes to check the surging wave of popular revolt.

Well, he did get almost as many votes as the top vote getter, so that's almost true.
By the time Facebook and Twitter were founded, about 2/3rds of the US was online: http://www.internetlivestats.com/internet-users/us/

So a) one didn't have to be hugely privileged to be online before social media took over, and b) I don't think the level of privilege of participants has much to do with the change that this article is talking about.
Large NZ dairy farms are doing ok (I know of one farm with 5000 cows. They do once-a-day milking, they start at 7am and milk until 3pm in 3 separate milking sheds). There are no CAFOs in NZ. All farms put all of their cows out in the fields.

But even without the CAFOs that this article is complaining about, smaller "family run" farms are dying out. Dairy farms are getting larger and larger, it's getting un-economical for the smaller farms to keep going and they are being bought out.

From 2002 to 2016, the number of dairy farms in NZ decreased 23.5%
Yet the amount of land used increased by 22.6%.

The average herd size in 2016 was 414 cows.

It's just economies of scale. Bigger farms are more economical.
Oh the irony to hear Microsoft complaining about browser monopolies. Somewhat akin to their "embracing Linux" posturing whilst perpetuating their Linux patent racket. Remember this - Microsoft only embraces open standards as a last resort.
You can license your project however you would like to. You absolutely can have a license with text that is similar to the MIT license, except with a clause saying that company X can't use it. However, as other commentators here point out, you could not, in good faith, call that "open source" under the standard, accepted definitions of that term.

So the answer to "is there any way to achieve this?" is twofold. If the question is "can I achieve this and still legitimately use the term 'Open source software'?", the answer is a flat-out "no". If the question is "can I set it up legally in this way, without regards to the terminology", the answer is yes.

A license is a pretty free-form thing. You can write whatever text there you want. You may wish to consult with a lawyer, in order to get some legal assurance that what you wrote makes legal sense and will hold up in court. This is especially true if you want to be very sure that you didn't accidentally leave some loophole in your wording that will allow the company you dislike to use your project against your will.

You are going to have to write the text of this license yourself (or pay a lawyer to do it for you): you're not going to find much of this kind of "almost-OSS" license out there for you to base yours off of, because in general, those who want to license their software as OSS actually do want a fully OSS license. But there are a few examples, although not quite identical in spirit to your "use case" (excluding a particular company) but instead different variations of not-quite open source. For instance, you can take a look at MongoDB's SSPL (https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license), and Redis Lab's RSAL (https://live-redislabs.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/20...).
I've been thinking about this. Creating a new website/blog where I post photos, write, and generally have a way for people to get in touch with me, etc...

My last version of my blog was moved over to Tumblr awhile ago. I moved it to tumblr when Posterous shut down after acquisition.

What are people using these days? I'd prefer: 1) something simple to host, and hosted somewhere. 2) ways to easily upload photos and share something that works almost as easily as a social media app....
