The problem I find with Firefox is that options in about:config are too stateful.

You can't use user.js as a regular dotfile such as .emacs, .vimrc or .muttrc. That is, once you set an option you need to manually unset it. I wished they introduced a more sane mechanism.

Besides, there is no way to programmatically declare you want to use some addons.

IMHO, all this makes maintaining relatively complex user configurations very costly.
The idea that this is to make life easier for Muslims by allowing them to escape their obligation, is laughable. I suppose we should make it illegal to not eat pork, so they can escape dietary laws. Or forbid Christians from going to church on holy days, so they don't feel guilt when they don't go. Or make it illegal to wear clothes that are spun from one form of cloth, so Jewish people don't feel like they need to wear clothes from one kind of cloth.

People deserve freedom of choice, religion, and clothing. That is the help you need to give people.

The claim isn't that the niqab bill wasn't a hot topic, it that this bill is about hijabs and not niqabs.
I agree but then the original statement makes no sense. Arms always have a deterrent effect, that's the point. There is no climactic moment in which they suddenly prove their worth, no 'until'.
there are cases when you should treat a cyclist like a pedestrian and others where you should treat them like a car.

i don't think any driving teachers are doing a good job at teaching this, but as soon as you get on a bike you realize how silly it is to make a full stop at a stop sign, both from a safety point of view as well as a physics point of view.

The interleaving of external and internal observation made this a very interesting read! Thank you for writing this.

I had something similar happen to me to: First, a feeling of doom and a strong headache on the left side of my head. Then a tickling sensation in my right hand, then numbness. Then, within minutes, I lost my words.

I could still think normally - for example I reasoned that it made sense that my right body side was affected since the left side of the brain, where the language area was located, controlled it. So everything else felt and functioned normal. When I found words and wanted to speak them, they were often switched up.

The human brain is fascinating. Have a look at this:

Maybe its luck, but I finally found a wireless mouse and BT headphones that I haven't got anything to complain about. Around 5 years ago I made the same test and came back to wired versions.

I suppose AirPods, with that price tag, must be much better.
Were people not going to use wireless headphones had Apple not given us AirPods? They all have batteries limiting their lifespans and are generally not easily repaired.

On the stationary arm question it is a question of warehouse logistics. Warehouses are cheap (essentially a simple box over a concrete pad) and they they get reconfigured all the time. A robot that can set up where ever you have dropped a bunch of metal shelving, and then move to a new place, keeps your operational costs down.

Yeah, the brain is pretty well isolated so I don't think it's totally obvious that this should be the case.
"I'd envision "kamikaze" drones being the most feasible thing to be effective first."

Agreed, and that's what scares me the most. All drones "pilots" will safely return to their families, their families won't lose any loved ones, therefore they'll become even easier to brainwash into voting anyone who supports wars.
Circle closed, war becomes a 24/7/365 business worldwide and if you happen to live in the wrong place you're pretty much screwed.

Additionally, it is often safer to assert space on the road as a cyclist in order minimize the probability of being clipped by a car passing too closely.
The problem with social media is you can be a complete quack and yet have as much of a platform as someone who applies rigorous standards. Also, YouTube will automatically recommend and show you a steady stream of similar quackery and echo chamber opinions. It's wonderful for snake oil salesmen, including the political kind.

Businesses don't stand still, you're either actively working on a product, or you're building a new product and the old product is in maintenance mode. So to follow your analogy, a businesses is always trying to get itself into a new car. If electric cars are the future, they don't want to be in a gas powered Honda Accord while their competition is riding around in Teslas.

In larger companies, spending less on gas can also save you a lot of money. If I can write a Go app that doesn't require as much AWS compute, or have a type system that lets me spend less time on bugs and more time on features, that's hitting my bottom line.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification!

This appears to be a reference to https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/IM.A.120%... issue 10.

They are saying there that near Vmo (maximum operating speed) with an aft centre of gravity (the aircraft loaded in a specific way) there might not be enough nose down trim authority available within the limits of the electric trim to completely trim the aircraft (allow the pilot to relax the forward pressure on the yoke).

In the crashes there was too much nose down trim and MCAS kept adding it more. They are trying to move it in the other direction.

Pants reporting but nothing to see here.
Quaint maybe but I would not go so far as to say absurd. There is something to be said for physically getting up and indicating your choice that way. Seems to me to give more weight to the process. Pushing a button seems rather clinical by contrast. Plus I am sure they appreciate the piss break.
Sure, short answer is supply and demand.

Longer answer is that by only allowing a small float to trade, you have artificially limited the number of shares available(supply). All other things being equal, a small float leads to a higher share price as people will have to pay more to get shares if they want them.

Now, this will come to a head as eventually large holders and employees will be allowed to trade their shares, thus increasing the supply of shares.

Also given Lyft has no assets to use as collateral against a debt issuance and I'll work with the assumption that they'll need to raise money again given the losses Lyft will probably issue new shares again in the open market(secondary offering) within 3 years(this is my opinion) further increasing hte supply of shares.

This will obviously increase the supply of shares available and, as micro economics teaches us, lower the price per share.

Now you'll start to think something about efficient markets and shouldn't this be priced in. And the answer is yes, kindof.

But the truth is that looking at historical chats you can often identify the times when share came off restriction by the dip in the chart leading up to those days.

Think of it like the bitcoin price, most people aren't factoring in coins that we assume are lost or ones that belong to satoshi from his/her initial mining. If all of those btc hit the market, even in a slow and orderly way, the price of BTC, all other things being equal, would go down.
It's a good point. And the concomitant packaging and freight requirements.

It'd be good to see a "10,000,000 AirPods is the equivalent of" various other things.

How many AirPods would you need to recycle to have enough metal / plastic / battery material to build an electric car, for example.
It looks a bit different now
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-47168430
> In 5-10 years we'd have the same number of "million dead and useless AirPods" even if they had replaceable batteries, because by that time we'd have the next model with new features, design, etc.

Earbuds aren't cell phones—there's not a lot you can add. You can improve audio quality but that happens at a slow pace, and much of the public doesn't care.

I don't think all that many people would rush to replace a $200 product after two years if the original had a longer usable life.
I went to my FB - gotten two ads. Searched for them in this - for the first one:
- wasn't able to find it by title, url, company name, nothing, regardless if filtering by my home country, or country I'm at currently
- second one - the Economist, showed 12 results, with an option to Subscribe to each one of them; what does that mean? shouldn't I already be "subscribed" to at least one of those?
> I know if I hit them I'll probably be spending time in prison

lol cyclists are dying left and right and barely anyone is going to prison. the privileged class (drivers in this case) will always protect their own.
It depends on the target tradeoffs.

4 wheels can be inherently statically stable but requires more space and requires more energy when running (counter-intuitive, but if your balance algorithm is efficient, you use less energy wheeling around on 2 than on 4 because you can basically play games with gravity to get some acceleration tradeoffs... And you have half the number of powered wheels, assuming you're 4-wheel drive).

If they solve the hard math, the end result may very well be a more performant machine (though as someone else in thread has noted, depending on the overall goals, a zero-wheels statically-mounted arm could be better still).
As a cyclist, I get to decide if I'm a pedestrian or a vehicle. I can pop on/off my bike at will. I can ride on the road, then ride up a ramp onto the sidewalk for 4 blocks, then back onto the road. Different rules and expectations hold depending on where I am, but I don't understand this criticism. At least where I live (Seattle), riding on the sidewalk is perfectly legal.

I don't always signal, because bicycles have this major flaw that your breaking/steering tools work best when you have both hands on the handlebars. So if something hinky is happening ahead, I may need my hands to slow down instead of signalling.

I try not to yell angrily when people do dangerous things around me but I do often need to yell loudly, maybe repeatedly, in order to stop a car that doesn't understand that my bike is front of them, and they can't proceed without killing me. But you should understand that the stakes are much higher for me a cyclist than for the driver of a car. They might hit me and that would suck for them. I might die or need months of physical therapy. So be patient with cyclists who appear to have unleashed random anger at you (you-the-driver), they are under more stress from the interaction.

Also, the lawless cyclist trope, while often true, is often a case of the lawlessness you are unfamiliar with. I bike-commute most days, and EVERY SINGLE DAY I see cars: speed, run red lights, yield-instead-of-stop at stop signs, turn without signalling, wander into the bike lane, park or stop in the bike lane, drive without lights (at night), or with one light out. Also, it may not be illegal (but sometimes is!), but when I'm in a 'sharrow' lane, I will often get aggressively passed by people who can't be bothered to look 200 ft ahead to the red light, or who pass over a double-yellow in order to get ahead of me, then turn left/right 5 seconds later. But because we're all used to those kinds of infractions (and because they are partially 'our' infractions as drivers) we don't notice them. Because there are so few cyclists, and they aren't 'our' infractions, it's easier to notice their driving transgressions.

Anyway, super long rant. Not claiming all cyclists are angels, but as someone who is literally making it easier for the cars on the road BY NOT DRIVING TO WORK, I wish I got a little respect instead of the barely tolerated contempt I get a lot of. yada yada yada, plenty of good drivers out there as well.

That's also a feature that I want. Something like a dotfile for Firefox that I can use to set it up automatically with the rest of the system.

However what bothers me about privacy add-ons is that each one that I install is giving permissions in my browser to another person. It would be better if there was a single add-on that was audited by someone trustworthy.

A single all-in-one add-on could also work on making each of its users fingerprint the same, which is something that can't happen when each person is using a different combination of privacy enhancements.
Cherry-picked examples of an incredibly complex system failing (when it succeeds 99% of the time) aren't particularly compelling arguments against the system.
I think part of it is that the pop generates goodwill among the big players, making it easier for the company to tap the markets in the future. But it's fair to argue that a pop means that some money was left on the table.

Total individual self sufficiency is not really the best solution - collective self sufficiency is. But once we start collaborating, we fall in to structures where all the benefit we create ends up in the bank accounts of a few people instead of building a utopia. It takes a different structure to society, not mere technology, to change this situation.

Moreover: liberating technology will not be developed by the capitalist establishment because our liberation runs counter to the opportunity we represent as tools to be exploited. This is why Silicon Valley relies on surveillance and the big companies don’t share their key source code. They don’t have the goal of liberating us.

I appreciate your optimism but I'm skeptical to the extreme that it is achievable.

>why do people need to have jobs? Why can't we turn our lives towards something better?

Answer: the basic faults inherent in basic human nature that have prevented us from getting along at any point in human history : avarice(greed), lust, sloth, envy, gluttony, etc. General religious intolerance and ethnic hatred, war, prejudice, etc. And that's just among the so-called normal people. Factor in psychopathic behavior and it's not difficult to find an answer. But that only covers behavioral issues.

Now factor in contributions from natural disaster, drought, pestilence, pollution, scarcity, etc. and this explains why I don't think we have a chance.
No, that's a bad trick to rely on for speed these days. GNU grep's speed comes from using memchr in its skip loop. Skipping bytes is only going to matter when the thing you're searching for is longer. For short needles, there isn't much opportunity for skipping, so it's better to say inside a vectorized routine like memchr (which, for glibc, is written in Assembly on most platforms).
could you please point me to a link where i can read about it? i am curious.
I eat vegan food, but I also recognise that there's a distinction between someone keeping rescued chickens in a back garden, and keeping them in tiny cages or on the floor giant barns with no light in such crammed conditions that they start cannibalising each other (which are the conditions of about 90% of egg laying hens in the UK).

Even though I wouldn't eat their eggs, I can't really see the problem with having chicken around if they don't suffer. For people who eat vegan for ethical reasons, my impression is that suffering is the main concern.
It's been years since I got my math degree, but IIRC this isn't true. At least, it's not true in enough framings that you can assert it this plainly. Infinity isn't just another number, and just because the symbols are identical in either side of the equals signs doesn't mean the entities described are.
With all the drawbacks and none of the benefits.
Part of the problem is that X-veganism runs into people who go: "oh they make an exception"->"they're not really vegan"->"I don't have to tell them I sauteed the onions in butter and used beef broth in the soup"

So while I know plenty of vegans with their own particular exceptions they don't talk about them outloud much.
I would say that suburban / rural America is more of the outlier. Most of the world's white collar workers work in transit-accessible cities, and the rest of the world is much less car-driven than the United States.

There are elected governments that are not beholden to the specific moneyed interests that want to keep control of robots. If we reach the threshold of post-scarcity, where robots build robots and the only barrier against duplicates-at-cost is patents or copyrights, then some countries will reject the intellectual property norms promoted by wealthy developed countries. It has happened already with drug patents. The people of Johannnesburg may get cheap robots a generation ahead of those of Boston. Liberation could start at the edges of the current economic world order and diffuse toward the center.
Nope. You follow traffic laws. If you're in the lane at a stop sign, you stop. If you're on the sidewalk, you can behave as a pedestrian.

Stop can mean different things in different places, so rolling through might be fine in some places.

> The natural thing for a context type is something that can be used to directly refer to any object. In today's common architectures this is a pointer. Context APIs that don't support "intptr" or something like it are broken.

I want to note the huge disadvantage of using pointers, which is that they aren't mathematical identities, but physical identities. It's place vs value. If you use pointers you are absolutely required to have stable addresses, which means you cannot treat data as what it is: information - and you cannot copy it, move it, duplicate and modify it and such. Because the best handle to it that you have is the memory address where it's supposed to live.

You cannot even have parallel arrays (which give modularity) but will end up with god objects amassing unwashed unsorted unrelated incoherent junk data because that's the best to get from an address to actual data.

While there are valid uses for pointers (and I don't claim to have any relevant experience with threaded applications), today's popular idea that "something that can be used to refer to any object" is best implemented by a pointer is what really leads to terrible, unmaintainable software.
No harm done :)
