Why are they trying to get you into signing in. You need to sign in for sending files that are downloadable more then once and if you want to send more then 1gig. So they WANT you do specifically link your upload to your account, that in fact makes it LESS private. Here we go again Mozilla, they claim they are for privacy but they actually prioritize easy of use and other things over it. Privacy never comes first for Mozilla, they can claim that as much then want. Could write list of things why but I am to lazy right now.

As discussed elsewhere they are selling BS as end to end encryption when in fact the key in in the URL so to speak and they are not educating people in that they need to communicate the link (and pw) end to end encrypted as well or its all just made up. People WILL use this to email links use twitter PMs and stuff for it and they will REVEAL EVERYTHING to all kinds of 3rd parties with this deception marketing by Mozilla. They are more about selling your stuff then actually doing it - Sad.

So to better explain my perspective - I'm coming at this from the angle of a consultant to small to mid sized organizations. Nearly all the times somebody talks about setting up a CA, it's so they can man-in-the-middle all their network traffic to sniff it. Yet the organization struggles to do much more basic things correctly. For better or worse, though, the bias in the comments here are from competent people working for competent orgs - not smaller shops that exist in a perpetual state of garbage fire.

So absolutely, yes, you can run your CA reasonably today. But in practice, outside very large and competent enterprise shops (i.e., your typical business) - no. The typical business I bump into struggles with internal DNS and DHCP - the skills just aren't there.

The link is to a packaged, binary distribution of the 'OSS only' features, the assertion was regarding 'significant intermingling of proprietary code into the code base'. The two are not the same.

Also, from the release notes linked to from that page, Amazon's assertion that 'neither release notes nor documentation make it clear what is open source and what is proprietary' does appear to be valid.
Nah, seems pretty normal. Compare to Netflix, Hulu, Heroku, etc, which have some outages nearly daily. This was just degraded performance for two hours, and the only more serious one I can recall was pretty recent.
Oh!! That's super cool, I think I will contribute then.

Assuming that I'm not a completely incompetent at programming (which admittedly might be a stretch :) ), would you be open to someone making a PR and adding Joxa or LFE tooling?
Since I'm caching and gzipping everything, each subsequent pageview is around 6 KB; far smaller than the SPAs I've seen with equivalent functionality.

That's ace. But my internet connection has a 2 second latency so I still have to wait an annoyingly long time every time I interact with your app. My connection is terrible too, so it drops every 10th request, and now I'm seeing a lot of broken pages. If only you'd written an offline-first PWA and used background-loading and prefetching with some intelligence to retry failed requests in order to deliver content before I actually need it this would have worked so much better.

But hey, the app is perfect for you on your robust wifi, so it must work out there in the real world, right?

Snark aside, there's a good reason to build web software in a variety of different ways. Pick the one that suits your users. Don't assume everything works perfectly and every internet connection is strong, fast wifi. That just means a lot of users (especially poorer ones in rural communities) are going to struggle with what you're selling.

I expect that cash point was run by the casino and gave out 50s to encourage impulsive gamblers to bet even more money than they might otherwise plan to. On the other hand most cash points are owned by banks/supermarkets who would rather not have to deal with a wide circulation of £50 notes because they tend to be more likely to be forged (but maybe that’s just because they aren’t in common circulation) so require more time to check.

Don't give up on the idea of being an entrepreneur.

Just realize that MOST ideas are iterative and not truly innovative. Nothing wrong with that, but there is going to be a ton of competition when you build a Chrome Plugin that does one neat copy and paste... even if it is very useful.

(Useful Tool Example:) Citationsy for Chrome: Cite anything in one-click right from Chrome

And honestly a lot of ideas might be interesting or funny... but they aren't even good ideas.

(Funny but Stupid Example:) howlongisyourdong.com is now on product hunt: GROW UP YOUR E-PENIS RIGHT NOW :

And some ideas are just wishes for things that obviously aren't going to turn out well in execution.

(Product won't match customer desire Example:) Your mobile app needs a website. I built Flycricket to generate and host a site for you!:

If you come up with an idea that is truly disruptive, that isn't something everyone in your field has been asking for for years. You should pursue it. But it should stand out on a list like this, not fit right in.

Edit: Many people do well building out the extremely obvious ideas that everyone wants. But to do well that way you should be talented, work extremely hard, and be well funded if you want to beat the competition.
I think this will be part of a much larger social movement--the distribution of trust across networks as an incremental improvement over the gateway/database/single-point-of-failure model we've organized ourselves around right now.

People also seem to forget that the Apple Bookstore is still a thing. Certainly not as big as Amazon but certainly big enough to matter. Apple also has audiobooks as well. So there is competition.

This article does nothing to demolish willpower as a concept. It's strikingly poorly argued. Yes, there are tactical transformations of concepts or situations you can make to encourage yourself to do the right thing. If you want to diet, not keeping potato chips in the house is easier than having them there and white-knuckle resisting them every moment of your life (or it is for me at least). However, both of those things take a certain level of willpower. The second one may take exponentially more, and therefore be a bad choice to make, but it takes some level of will to even avoid buying the chips.

The author tries to present it as though the mere fact that you can have cognitive strategies for improving these decisions destroys the concept of willpower. But it doesn't. Both of these things can be true. We need to get better at teaching people how to re-conceptualize things to improve their willpower, but they also need to have some in the first place! If you have no willpower, all the strategies in the world aren't going to prevent you from eating that cupcake.

I will also add that I am a former addict, and had the same experience as his patient. A big part of quitting for me was indeed a reconceptualization of the issue. But that doesn't mean it didn't also take will. If you tell people in treatment that all they need to do is reframe their addiction, you're lying to them, and they're not going to get better. Yes, reframing is important, and so is a life-architecture that avoids dangerous situations, but there are going to be moments in their lives where their drug of choice is available to them, and in those moments, there is no substitute for will.

This is not just an environmental and animal welfare concern, although it certainly is those things. But it's also a national security issue of the first order.

One of the ways big factory farms work so efficiently is by utilizing mono-cropping. They'll plant acre after acre after acre of exactly the same strain of a crop. That gets their efficiency, and hence their profit margin, as high as possible. You don't have to do anything differently in order to support two strains of corn or soybeans. You con't have to worry about one breed of milk cow being more susceptible to disease or giving milk with a different fat content. All your equipment is the same, all of your chemical inputs are the same, all of your processes are the same.

That works fine when it works. But when it doesn't work it can go completely to hell. One pathogen could conceivably wipe out a large portion of America's entire corn or soybean crop. Significant enough climate change could as well. A single new strain of disease, if it were robust enough to spread through the air or via wildlife, could kill huge fractions of our cattle or pigs. It's not inconceivable that we could go from large surpluses of cheap food one year to widespread hunger the next, with just the wrong set of circumstances.

We've not just improved farming efficient. We've gutted the natural robustness of what used to be a distributed agricultural system.

A couple of notes:

Tooling: Rust takes backwards compatibility very seriously. If you're using multiple version of a crate in your dependency try, it's very likely because those two crate versions have breaking changes between them.

Language - You should very rarely need to unwrap because of pattern matching:

Stuff like this: if (a.is_some()) { let value = a.unwrap()...

Can be rewritten like this: if let Some(value) = a { ...

> In about 18 years, if I'm right, a score of resentful GNC children forced into therapy by their parents will cut off their families and transition on their own. If you're right, a large number of children who transitioned during puberty will have major regrets.

I think that's an excessively binary view: those aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I think the most likely scenario is that those both will occur. Here's how they could:

Suppose a large portion of childhood gender dysphoria is, let's call it, “fundamental transgender identity”, that can only be resolved durably by transitioning.

Suppose another large portion is socially-induced tension between gender stereotypes, most dominantly between heteronormative stereotypes and homosexual or bisexual orientation, that is best resolved durably by recognizing that confirming to gender stereotypes,and particularly heteronormative stereotypes, is not necessary when identifying with a gender, though it may be mitigated, especially in the short-term, by gender transition.

Suppose that there is therapy that is very effective, in children, at helping the latter resolve ideally. But suppose further that children whose dysphoria is of the first kind subjected to that same therapy often conform to the perceived pressure of the therapy by abandoning transition and conforming to the perceived expectation of identifying with their birth gender.

Suppose further that distinguishing the two kinds of dysphoria is difficult even within the context of the therapy, and suppose further that the therapy itself is controversial in a way tied largely to controversy over what the predominant (or, as many people view it, exclusive) source of gender dysphoria is, so that there is Both a large subset of gender dysphoric use that are given the therapy and a large subset that aren't, but these subsets have no particular alignment with the actual source of dysphoria.

You'd then expect, down the road, to have four large clusters (there's actually more, because you also have the atypical responded to therapy or it's absence to consider) of adults who had been gender dysphoric children:

(1) a group with fundamental transgender identity that were not treated and transitioned, resolving the dysphoria as best as is practical.

(2) a group with fundamental transgender identity subjected to the therapy and so did not transition, with issues resulting from ongoing unresolved dysphoria.

(3) a group without fundamental transgender identity that did not receive the therapy and transitioned to resolve their dysphoria, who now regret the transition.

(4) a group without fundamental transgender identity who did receive the therapy, and resolved the tension with gender norms without transition.
There are still good ones, you just have to hunt quite a bit more. The current administration certainly won’t be adding any new regulation, although it would be nice if it somehow happened.

Yes she will undoubtedly hire seasoned specialists to write her policy into law for her. But will she be looking for people who are on board with her framework or will she be looking for people who will challenge her framework and change her mind on some things.

It's worth asking which of those it will be because that is what determines how effective her efforts will be. It's not certain in my mind which one she'll do and as written her proposal does fail to account for some of the causes of the current crop of large scale goliaths in tech.

Depends on how big the airline is, what percentage of its fleet consists of max 8s, etc.

Generally, planes like this have high operating costs, and usually are kept in the air pretty much constantly to be able to make a profit. Having one grounded potentially means losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars a day.
Ah, yeah, unlike bundling tools like Rollup, webpack doesn't have the ability to output modern JavaScript module scripts, only classic scripts. The article links to a feature request on webpack to support this: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/8896

In the meantime, there are lots of workarounds, such as e.g. creating a script to bridge from built-in modules (which webpack doesn't support) to globals (which webpack does support). E.g. `import { storage } from 'std:kv-storage'; window.kvStorageStorage = storage;` then use `kvStorageStorage` in your webpack code.

I'm not sure how I feel about Chrome optimizing (aka intercepting) HTTPS webpages. I guess with Edge gone, this problem is just going to become worse.

Otherwise, the article looks thin on details? The optimizations are not really explained. May be it's more geared towards marketing then towards web developers?

It's unclear what the performance benefit is? I tried it locally but the pages did not seem really faster, at least not 2x faster as claimed in the article "...Data Saver may reduce data use by up to 90% and load pages two times faster,.."? Or may be they are just using the weasel word "up to" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word)?
These devices have a huge marketing problem. Like the Alexa commercial that shows somebody pausing a Prime TV show to order something from the Amazon store. Cool, I guess--except I can already order stuff while watching TV by using my smartphone, so the value proposition is completely absent.
Do you have a reference to confirm that this was a knee-jerk/optics reaction, out of interest? (definitely curious to see how airlines/authorities are reaching these decisions)

The MCAS system and the way it was introduced sound a little like a patch, and slightly haphazard.

While training & runbooks and procedures are important, take-off is a busy time, and the Max-8 is (afaik) intended to operate very-nearly-like a standard 737, so it's not inconceivable that pilots wouldn't have time or intuitively know how to handle this situation.

Ultimately any vehicle/software/tool is going to be safest when the responsible designer makes it intuitive and reduces the possibility of failure cases rather than adding workarounds or runbooks to patch over them and/or disclaim the liability.

Anyway, it seems like it could be early to strongly assign blame or critique until we know how serious the issue is.
True community distro is what I was going to say as well. I view Debian as 'plain old linux.'

My fear though, is Debian is not going to be able to keep up with the pace of commercial linux distributions. Things are moving at light speed these days.
Honestly, a lot of this comes down to ignorance on a lot of points. You can do a lot with CSS2.x+ selectors, and it's awesome. That said, JS/JSS and component systems aren't bad either. It depends on what you're creating and who your audience is.

Most of this stuff isn't new, it's about a decade+ old at this point. Backend developers often tend to turn up their noses on web front ends, so they don't bother to actually learn anything meaningful, and just sit complaining constantly.
I blame phones. Without a desktop pc, people no longer run weird servers like Hotline. The internet is limited to whatever the cloud promotes. Reddit is not bad as usenet replacement, certainly better then the alternatives. We dont need to walk on eggshells if we re all a little less argumentative and stop attracting the wrong crowd - i think that point can be improved with our individual contributions. You re not going to get 90s back, no one will, but things aren’t too bad and the web is still more vibrant than all the walled garden asylums.

I speculate we’ll see more airspace closures once countries give enough time to avoid stranding their nationals.

I wonder if, say, Germany, waited until its planes had to chance to land before closing their airspace, while other countries/companies, like Norwegian got caught by surprise.

Total speculation on my part.
Sadly, organic has been hijacked by the large industrial farms as well.[1]

The USDA keeps track of those statistics.[2] As of 2017 about 30% of the cost of a gallon of milk goes to farms. Unfortunately milk prices are so low that only the very largest farms, that can squeeze efficiencies out of operating at scale, can make that profitable.[3]
