> It was designed to quickly deactivate any malicious add-on as soon as it was detected, before it had a chance to do too much damage. In my books, that's a good thing.

I hate this attitude from security people so much. If for the sake of fighting malicious code you are crippling the software usability or my user experience, you are the malicious code.
I think Firefox needs to stop this add-on signing and review madness. The web is OPEN. It's not a walled-garden Apple App Store. Yes, extensions run arbitrary JavaScript code. So does any webpage you go to, and nobody from Mozilla reviewed all that JavaScript either. How are extensions any different? Chrome is doing just fine without all this non-sense process and policy.
I have seen UFO-s twice.

First time in early 1990ies, second time it was about 10 years ago.

First sight looked like a formation of lights that moved in sync across the night sky in a straight line. The formation was long, like a long rectangle or long cylinder made of stars. Not too many stars, maybe a hundred. Moving slowly straight in the direction of it's length. I could not tell how far it was, so I can't really judge for the size of it, but it was "flying" higher than the peak of the nearby mountain (which is 1km high and about 10km away), and the lenght was comparable to 1/2 of the south-west ridge of that mountain which itself is aprox. 5-6km long. So the UFO would have to be at least 1km long if it was closer, but it could be many km long if it was further. My family members saw it, as we were on the balcony at home and had clear unobstructed view. I might exagerate about the size of it, but I really did saw it. It could be easily recorded if someone had a videocamera, but we did not. We always had a photo camera at that period but nobody thought about the possibility of taking a picture. We could have tried if we had film, but I don't remember why we did not try. We didn't even talk about the possibility. When you see something like it, it does not occur to you that you might need proof and that nobody will believe. But I don't care, since I saw what I saw. Of course there can be millions of explanations what it was, but there weren't any gived and nobody else mentioned seeing it when we asked around the next day. It could have easily been a formation of airplanes.

The other sight, was when I was by the nearby river with my partner, who did not see the UFO. It was a regular summer night, and something flew across the sky, at extreme velocity, just like a meteorite does. But suddenly right before going out of sight, it changed direction nearly 90 degrees and continued with the same high velocity. It all happened in a blink of an eye, of course it would be very hard to have it recorded.

The point of my stories is that you don't always have a chance to make a recording when you see something strange.
I am not sure on others, but it does not show in "about:studies" on mine since I manually added it.
As the product manager for Crux I must point out that we are not currently optimised for time series queries, as there is no columnar compression in the core bitemporal indexes. It is certainly something we have thought about however. For instance, we have already translated a couple of TimescaleDB examples into our own test suite [0][1] and we have created a sample aggregation "decorator" that sits on top of the Datalog queries [2].

Whilst there are no immediate plans from the core team to add columnar compression or otherwise improve our support for time series use cases, I think that a lot can be readily achieved by building on top of what already exists in the core. I very much look forward to seeing others experiment with the possibilities here.

On a typical Linux install, the Firefox binary is not writeable by a malicious extension installer that runs with user privileges. Thus baking the check into the binary fully protects the integrity.
the article suggests a simple explanation:

> "Perhaps the job market wasn’t as good as the unemployment rate made it look."

so basically, the politically expedient version of unemployment, u3, doesn't have explanatory power in the economy. instead we should use u6, which includes the underemployed and the discouraged [0].

so the slack of the un-/under- employed has now been eaten up and competition in the labor force is driving up prices.

The comment was probably poorly received because it presents a lot of things as economic fact, when in reality the evidence is much less conclusive. Many studies have shown the the labor market is far from a simple supply/demand system, and predicting the impact of many policies - looser immigration, minimum wage - is difficult, and quite often runs contrary to the simpler models.
It's not a reasonable response. It's overconfident, unjustified opinion masquerading as fact.
I think that in the context of learning foreign languages, you have to distinguish between the willingness to learn about "cultures" and the willingness to gain information unavailable in your mother language. You can still gain some pretty detailed information about the French revolution in English, and only if you wish to specialise closely on that subject, you'll probably need fluency in French. Conversely, you can learn a lot about Victorian England in French. I'm trying to illustrate the fact that important and valuable information is not necessarily siloed by language.

English is the defacto international language nowadays. I am Bulgarian, and after crossing the border with neighbouring Romania I'm using English, since the effort to learn Romanian is not worth the time when my intentions are just to travel there occasionally. The two languages are very different, and Romanians aren't willing to learn Bulgarian either.
That might make sense in large old growth forests. It is completely pointless in grassy areas though.
That analysis almost goes far enough to support "car sharing is bad" because enabling more usage of cars (such as tourists and others that don't have cars) causes more car impacts such as traffic and pollution.
Those 'laws' are untainted by contact with reality. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage: " ... none of the world's most successful trading regions, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and now mainland China, reached their current status by adopting neoliberal trading rules."
Yes, and nowadays because of K8S it's taking much more mindshare.

Except I specifically use an extension to ensure tab state isn't volatile (Tab Session Manager, backed up with export tabs urls & a custom script), since I don't want to bookmark 35 pages for a current project, I just want to save them to a named session and have everything avaliable when I return to the project.

I agree that tabs are volatile, although I really wish they weren't. I'm having flashbacks to the quantum switch and having to change most of my extensions. I'd consider switching, but I really don't care for the chromium monoculture that's developing.
> If we could, now, substantially cut social spending – with all these people working, it should be possible to seriously reduce handouts

What a fantastic argument in which you completely ignore the gargantuan shadow of the US War budget against our social spending programs. Cutting the programs will never come close to the money saved by producing just a few less bombs and aircraft a year.

Ask yourself, if not for market regulation + social programs, what the heck is our government even here for?

If you ask me, it's certainly not to siphon tax money out of the War budget and into politician's pockets at the expense of the general welfare of its people while engaging in a full-on disinformation campaign against them. That's such a Middle Ages approach to running a kingdom.
Typing this from a new Brave install. Just switched from Firefox after their handling of this.
Yeah, the chart is pretty strange. It is the yearly increase rate for wages not adjusted for inflation. Even if this is somehow a reasonable proxy for increases in real median wages, it seems unnecessary given that you could just have a chart of real median wages instead.

I suspect a factor is that actual changes in income have been quite small and it's nicer to have an image that shows something dramatic instead of the marginal blip that we've actually seen.

Graph Matching Networks for Learning the Similarity of Graph Structured Objects
An extra thought: I once saw someone doing (NSF?) road-tour community outreach for Next Generation Science Standards. She got a lot of questions that were emotional, hostile, rambling, and jaw-droppingly confused. Questions for which I couldn't imagine a constructive response.

I was profoundly impressed by the grace, respect, insight, and "achieving a meeting-of-the-minds response" that she repeatedly achieved. I'd not have thought it possible before seeing it. I wish I had noted her name, or had video.

It's still not something I can do, or even quite imagine how to do. But it changed how I feel when encountering people being aggressively confused. More "I wish I had more of her skill set", less "this seems simply hopeless".

Seems like tor browser is unaffected.
Ironically, I've had excellent luck with a Firefox extension (tab session manager). I've had crashes which lost tabs, normally from me being an idiot, but it's done an excellent job preserving sessions automatically.
This is categorically untrue, and unhelpful.

Network audio is pretty nifty! I run a Snapcast[0] setup at home, tied into Home Assistant[0] automation for multi-room audio. Some notes:

- I have six total audio zones, including my desktop computer.

- Audio for a room turns on/off with a room. It's neat to walk from my office into the kitchen, and have the kitchen lights come up and audio follow me in when the motion detectors fire. Some speakers don't mute when "off", but change source to a text-to-speech only channel (for i.e. door/window contact notification, other messages).

- Everything but my desktop (macOS) are speakers connected to a Raspberry Pi via USB DAC.

- One of my motivations here was multi-room audio, but a big one was to connect a Linux VM's audio output directly to the speakers so I could use the official Spotify client, instead of a 3rd-party library that will eventually break.

- Snapcast is really quite DIY for config, but I could set up other sources--an Airplay target, a line in target with a cable hanging off the server so people could plug in devices at a party, etc. I've seen setups online where people do this, and someone in a room can change that room's "channel" to another source.

- Spotify's DRM-as-feature is nice here, because I just use the Spotify client on my desktop normally, with output coming out elsewhere. I run 700ms of buffer, which is just low enough that clicking play/pause doesn't feel broken. I could probably drop it more, since everything is hardwired in the house.

- Previous to Snapcast, I just toggled Spotify's source when I walked between rooms, but there's quite a bit of dead air there, and it's a hassle to setup, plus multi-room audio sync is nice with people over.

Yeah, now that photo perfectly summarises modern architecture taking the piss. It's all either "as cheap as we can get away with" or "look how {clever|edgy|controversial} I am". I hate most modern architecture as it's far too simplistic and sympathetic of nothing whatsoever in the surroundings. Which is not to say I think we should copy ancient styles.

This roof? Utterly beautiful, and a lovely way to get a close up view of the reconstructed spire. It'll look stunning at night. So I expect they'll choose something ugly instead. :)

> Your options appear to be not using https, or spending a _lot_ of time and money moving to a new bucket or a different storage system.

The only way it would be a lot of money to move to a new bucket is if the bucket is hardcoded everywhere. Moving data from one bucket to another is not expensive, and a configuration change to a referenced URL should be cheap, too.
But the thing is, not only is the 7/7 Plus ($475/$575) faster then most modern Android phones, even the discontinued 6s line is faster than all but the most expensive A droid phones as of last year - and they will still probably be supported longer then new Android phones.
No, but that was incredible. Thanks for introducing me to Cultivated Wit.
If you didn't have browsers auto updating no-one would update them manually, meaning bad news for web developers wanting to take advantage of newer features.
We're talking about eBPF programs here. Those halt by design as you cannot loop (jump backwards) and have a limited number of instructions you can use per program. So the halting problem isn't really and issue here in this particular case.

You can just run the original and rewritten code in an eBPF VM with mock inputs and compare.
If we exclude Central London and talk about Zone 2 outwards, anecdotally I'd say it is purely based on knowing the makeup of certain neighbourhoods.

Removed from that though, you only need to make a few assumptions to come to the conclusion it would be anyway.

If we assume, say, that people would prefer to live on a side street over a main road, and then away from a junction rather than on a junction, from that it stems that it's going to be cheaper to own/rent a place in the most polluted areas.

There are differences in income and wealth by race.

The people with this gene might sleep less but it doesn't really show what the long term health effects on the individuals are. 2 extra hours per day for life but dying 5 years earlier in your 80s might actually be a decent trade.
> cut taxes, close the borders, and prosperity will result

That leads to a hot house. Targeting full employment and keeping capital local allows workers to bid up wages, which will create inflation, and investors will go on an "investment strike". It happened in the 70s.

Otoh, Open borders and targeting price stability allows capital to seek it's global return - inflation stays low, but inequality grows.

Pick one.

300ms is still noticably laggy when the audio is part of a video. Some media players can delay their audio to account for playback delay in the audio device, if the audio stack supports that. Does Roc support that, or if not, is it on your roadmap?

About jurisprudential tool from modern Russia's early years:

An interesting solution to the dilemma in your last paragraph was invented by people who wrote first laws after USSR collapsed.

While any kind of self defence was forbidden by law, moreover lethal one, it was expected that in a moment of mortal danger, a person temporarily looses his mental fitness for legal purposes, thus having no responsibility for his actions during that.
> ...a slew of laws regarding safe working conditions.

Not sure that's necessary, I'd be for removing ones which have no practical impact on working conditions (i.e. haven't been shown to apply to any situation where non-compliance was at some point common), but labour demand is going up quite a bit even without considerable changes to workplace safety regulations. Some of these regulations could even be argued to increase labour demand (not that that should be a goal of any workplace safety regulation).
Not just Sri Lanka - India does it, and there’s regular shut downs of the internet in sensitive areas.

The China model has won, people on HN just don’t know it yet.

Remember that just a few short weeks ago, Facebook proposed an internet based regulator for hate speech and other difficult subjective judgements that have to be made every day.

These are related - this is fundamentally a question of how communities, cultures and society’s survive on the web. And the short of it is that we can’t.

The only way society survives the attackers environment of the internet, is by creating the Chinese fire wall. And narion states are no longer the lumbering elephants of the 90s and before.

Now patriotic coders are more than happy to help their governments and they march to a different tune than the peace inspired founders and inventors of the net.
My entire point is consistently that the point of college is a degree. It's completely sensible for the vast majority of people to go to college for the great economic benefits it provides in terms of job opportunities. This does not mean it offers any real learning benefit over self-education for a variety of fields.

Just take computer science, an easy one because of the abundant resources available through the Internet. There is absolutely zero gain, once again, for the moderately intelligent, motivated student, in terms of learning from going to a college vs. a motivated, well-thought self-study. Study plans are available online. Course syllabuses are available online. Textbooks are available online. Problem solutions are available online.

I believe the university system aspires to produce thinkers, but doesn’t.

Because it has become utterly polluted by non default government backed loans.

If the government removed it’s college loan guarantee, what would happen?

Schools would have to transition instantly from offering unnecessary student experience and switch to essential student value.

In the automotive industry there are financial disclosure and lemon laws.

Car dealers have to disclose their finance profit as well as right if return if vehicle is unsuitable.

Shouldn’t the same or similar exist in education?

At the very least, universities should have to provide externally audited reporting on graduate employment %/$.

I’ve met too many young people with too much student debt. Some will never get out from under it, effectively indentured servitude.

So many university degree programs have negative ROI, partly due to the unnecessary experiences to attract student borrowers.

Trade school have such a stigma amongst those who aspire to have their children move up the human food chain, but really shouldn’t when you run the math.

This is the space that Lambda School and others are disrupting.

It’s a BIG space.

I suspect when it’s all over there will be hundreds of thousands of “white collar jobs” lost that exist only due to the government backed student loan competition over unnecessary and non value added experience.

Basically a repeat of the “manufacturing jobs” lost in the post dot com housing bubble.

Leaner and meaner will eventually have to come to the university system, removing a lot of expensive experience and hopefully some of the highly corrosive politics.
Unfortunately, all the self-proclaimed fact checkers spent the last presidential election campaign bravely defending democracy by insisting that U3 was the one true measure of unemployment and that anyone who didn't believe what it said was a filthy liar.
> The lack of/lower minimum wage abroad is a major incentive for moving labor out of the country.

And sanctions, tariffs, penalties, fees, fines, lawsuits, and prison time are major incentives not to move labor out of the country.
You're thinking about the problem from the wrong perspective. Higher prices do encourage people to sell more (in this case their labor). But a price floor excludes a whole category of people (the young, unskilled, or transient) from the market. Its this category of people that would now be eligible to compete in the labor market
I'm not sure how this addresses the parent post's point

> Hence, the solution to low wages is to stop importing poor foreigners who undercut American wages.
Couple that with the elimination of corporate taxes, and there will be no incentive for offshoring or inverting.
Become the world's biggest tax haven, and incomes will skyrocket.

what happens when you cut taxes to zero and you can’t cut anymore?
wouldn’t the effect be that they would STILL outsource to countries that have effectively zero tax rate AND lower wages?

> The laws of economics cannot be wished away...

laws of which humans have created and are hence entirely under the control of what we want to do with them... economics is not physics, and i would argue a race to the bottom is, in the end, what that type of thinking is unfortunately arguing for.
