I thought you were referring to the snippets.

I actually don't see the pocket recommendations on my desktop (maybe the Linux Mint build has them disabled by default), but they are there on mobile. There is a UI setting to disable them of course. It's explained right on the page that you link to.

More importantly, that page also explains that no data gets sent to Mozilla or pocket or anyone else for these ads to show up.

So again, no privacy violation here. I also think it's an extreme leap from "they show this in the new tab page which they design and control" to "they could start showing it overlayed on other peoples content".

I think they got some decisions very wrong. Among them not implementing a way to allow people to override signing of addons, which people did warn about. Having signatures enforced as a strong default is certainly good and right, but if they had included a "right click on addon, use without signature (WARNING THIS IS SKETCHY REAL ADDONS DON'T ASK YOU TO DO THIS)" option this signing issue would have been relatively mild.

But their track record on privacy/security simply isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
One solution would be to have a dedicated computer which is considered compromised from the start. Don't store importent stuff there, don't do money related activities etc. This way you have a convenient browser for 99% of the time - without stupid restrictions and Mozilla control.

In case of infection, restore from image.

I use Taobao weekly as well. It's not nearly as bad as you're saying. I've never run into any of those issues.

That said, the shipping times definitely aren't as consistent as Amazon (although I've only used Amazon in Seattle). I'm not in a Tier 1, but I am in a provincial capital. I'd estimate about 50% of my orders take 3 days, 30% take 2 days, 10% take 1 day, and 10% greater than 3 days.

With Amazon it was like 80% 2 days, 20% 1 day, and hardly ever more than 2 days using prime.

This isn't a totally fair comparison, I guess. I don't pay a yearly fee to Taobao and I rarely get express shipping, I just use the default. But really Taobao is fine. It's not as amazing as some people on here say, but it's not crap either.

After fixing exorbitant memory use, I have now independenty verified that

is indeed the biggest bi-truncatable prime.

This was done under assumption that zero digits are not allowed. If they are allowed, bigger bi-truncatable primes exists, such as:

I would like to warn you about signature checking.

My HP got a password after a faulty BIOS update (it just hanged up for 30 minutes on one block and I pulled the battery, never do this!)

So I had to fix this. However, my laptop will reset the BIOS if it fails the signature checking. Luckly for me, HP didn't used the BIOS Guard/Boot Guard technology and did the checking on the PEI stage with their own module. The checking part was in the same module as BIOS flasher (IIRC).

The password checking was easy to find because AMI BIOS sources are available on GitHub. Interestingly, HP has a "backdoor" feature that lets you generate a password from code displayed, so I easily unlocked my laptop without any patches. I could have released the generator utility, but, hell, this will let people unlock any other laptop with same kind of BIOS, so no.

As a bonus I had also unlocked hidden settings, which gave me a great control over my CPU and chipset. So I disabled hyperthreding thanks to my paranoia :)
I'm doing the same and instructed my parents to do as well.

I don't care if I sound lunatic or alarmist. If Boeing was astute enough to take this kind of shortcut to rush the 737 MAX, who knows what other shortcuts linger in that project, hidden.
Really great.

Why didn’t airlines pay Boeing for the extra option to be turned on? Apparently they’re greedy until the end. That extra indicator software didn't write itself for free did it? Some engineer got paid to write that software right? So why should Boeing give it away? Airlines aren’t charities.

Pretty sure everyone who died in the two crashes would agree with you if they could voice their opinion. Specially the pilots.
Boeing was considering that. But were caught completely off-guard by the announcement of Airbus' 320NEO.

American Airlines (a life long Boeing customer) placing a massive order of 320NEO put Boeing into full throttle panic mode and triggered the unfortunate decision to apply yet a number of hacks to an airframe, which was not suitable for the purpose.
You appear to assume that the 20% of aircraft with the optional feature are in the US. That's possible, but... Citation needed.
That means: the installation is a while old, installation security is not useful now because the add-ons were installed ages ago, but using them is.

It's not as bad. But it's still unnecessarily argumentative. A better spirit to post in is expressed in this old line of pg's: Comments should be written in the spirit of colleagues cooperating in good faith to figure out the truth about something, not politicians trying to ridicule and misrepresent the other side.

Try to find a point of connection between you and the person you're talking to. You don't need to say what it is explicitly; you just need to find it and feel it. Do that, and flamewar will magically be transformed into conversation.

I've been aware of Anki for a long time, but since I wasn't studying foreign languages, it really wasn't on my radar. Several months ago I saw an article about using it for more academic purposes, and I've taken it up.

Elephants are faszinating creatures with a complex social behavior. My connection with elephants comes from the Zoo of Cologne, which opened a new facility for elephants in 2005. Built from scratch to allow keeping up to 20 elephants in a herd, giving them as much freedom as possible. So it is quite large and set up to keep the elephants with minimal interaction with the keepers (protected contact). Starting with 5 elephants, the herd has grown to 14 today, to a large part by births. Whoever visits Cologne and is interested in elphants, shouldn't miss to visit them.

The elephant facility is equipped with a wide range of cameras, there is a "control room" for running the camp. In the first years, there was a web stream (anyone remembers real player?) running 24/7 allowing everyone to watch the elephants close up. Especially after in the hours after the zoo is closed for the public, a lot of highly interesting behavior could be observed. The stream for example settled the question: do elephants lie down to sleep? Yes, at about 1am in the morning the would lay down for a few hours, often in a larger group together.

The observations via the web cams gave me a deep impression of the social interaction of elphants. They have a lot of individual personality and the groups have a tight social structure and interaction.
These look more like hares to me.
> In football, there's only a market for the best. Nobody likes a loser.

Would totally disagree - given the number of football competitions [1], it is obvious that there's a market for anybody who wants to and can kick ball.

Same for software engineers - there are 23 millions of those in 2018 [2] and abundance of body shops, government jobs ("good enough for government work") and various engineering support functions says the opposite of what you're saying.

"Risky" is underdefined:

- who takes the risk? (employer vs employee vs employer's clients vs state vs insurance)

- how transitive is the risk? (is A on the hook for B's risk as well?)

> How could Mozilla respect the needs of users who opt-out of Mozilla knowing they, and their needs, exist at all?

How about surveys or well, common sense?

I'm a tech oriented person who cares about privacy. I want software that is lightweight, configurable, with sensible defaults. For any features besides the basic functionality (in this case: browsing the web), I don't want to opt-out, I want to opt-in.

Privacy oriented means for me that the software I use doesn't send one bit of data that isn't necessary for its basic functionality. I use a "dumb phone" because of this. I never understood how anybody can think telemetry and privacy can co-exist.

I want a Firefox without Pocket, Send, Screenshot Tools, Sync, Clickz, any cloud based service. I only want a fast, lightweight browser that doesn't send any unnecessary data anywhere without me explicitly configuring it. That's a sensible default for me, really. Software used to be like that.

I'd also like to configure when my software looks for updates. My Linux distro let's me do that.

And it would be awesome if all other functionality (like Send/Sync/Pocket, etc.) is available via optional plugins, or in another "full-featured" version of Firefox. The deluxe edition or whatever.

I believe I'm not alone with these ideas about software. In discussions about Firefox these things always come up. There are github projects [1,2] with 1600 and 1200 stars about hardening Firefox. People care about privacy. It's not hard to find this part of the userbase.

The idea that you can't create software for your users without telemetry, is what leads Mozilla to disregard their privacy oriented users in the first place. It's depressing.

And even if I allowed telemetry on my system Mozilla wouldn't learn anything about what I wrote here. It's useless.

I don't think that's what the parent post was asking. Yes, batteries are expensive. Yes, EVs are heavy. But they are also simpler than ICE and they have less parts. Even _good_ electric cars. If you wanted to build a car in your backyard, it'll be a much easier process if you go electric.

Double entry accounting basically makes it easier for you to track down errors in your accounting. It's a bit like writing tests for your code. The advantages are: 1. You are usually alerted quickly when you make a mistake. 2. You can reason about where you made the mistake, even if you've lost the original documentation.

It's not so much that it's personal or business that's the issue, I think. It's more the consequences for making a mistake. When I was very poor (but luckily not in debt) I had a good system for controlling my spending. I would take out X amount of money every Monday. I would try to have some left at the end of Sunday (a couple of hungry days helped me understand the importance of being conservative in my estimation).

That system works fine (and would even work fine in some kinds of businesses). However, what do you do when you find that no matter what you do, you can't seem to get to Sunday without running out of money? What if you can't figure out where it is going? Some kind of accounting will help you figure out what you are spending your money on.

Doing the accounting is fine and most of the time it's not a big deal if you make a mistake here or there. However if you are really pressed for cash (like you won't eat on the weekend if you make a mistake), it's probably not a bad idea to record your expenses in a way that allows you to detect mistakes. If your weekly transit pass is $50 and you accidentally record $5, you might conclude that you have $45 every week more than you actually have. You'll eventually figure it out, but it will mean more missed meals than you probably want to endure.

I like living a lifestyle where I make enough and spend little enough that I naturally have enough money. For me, that's my definition of "rich". After I got married, that state of affairs seems to have disappeared from my life ;-) Trying to reason about where the money is going is surprisingly tricky and double entry accounting has helped me make good conclusions without enduring stupid mistakes. Not necessary, of course, but still useful if you are the kind of person who likes fiddling.
No 737s crashed in the US, so why would the FAA be on the hook for anything? Shouldn’t the civil aviation authorities in Ethiopia and Indonesia be the ones “in trouble?”
Yeah, if pollution can kill that girl just because she lives near that junction, I just keep thinking what it must be like in my lungs if I'm pedalling hard and sucking in great gulps of the stuff.

(Sydenham is OK as a backup - a bit further south of the station on the side roads. Not as convenient as Forest Hill though!)

Edit: I seem to remember a study about health of cyclists (although don't have the citation so take with a pinch of salt) and it was universally better except in cities. Either crashes, pollution, or both, meant that cycling didn't make a difference to cyclists' health overall.
Not sure if the title was changed, but yep. Sounds like it.
Not sure who 'us' is; HN readership is pretty diverse. I'm a scientist and earn roughly the same as a midwife in Australia.

Having said that, my first child nearly died during birth, and having a very good midwife who knew the signs, made all the right decisions, got the emergency doctors in at the right time - that service was utterly invaluable.

I'm all for the average midwife being paid somewhat more than me if it leads to more of these outcomes.
Boeing believed they shipped it as a standard feature, and included it in the plane's the manual. They found out in 2017 that it wasn't working. After their shitty planes start falling out of the sky they turn it on for the loudest customers, keeping what was intended to be standard now a premium.

Which part of this shitty behavior exactly are you trying to defend?

Not the person you're responding to, but I was on a team which probably did the same thing.

Instead of listening directly to the event store for events you have another non-abstracting layer on top and listen to that.

A sensible architecture would have that layer be an abstraction layer for business use cases, so instead of listening to "user-created", "user-edited" and "user-deleted" events and rebuilding the user state in the consumer every time an event is fired, you'd have that layer expose a single user state stream. The rebuilding is handled entirely within the layer.

Many people skip that and just re-expose the "primitive" streams of the event store, because they read "don't expose your persistence layer" and skipped the important ", expose the business state layer instead" which usually comes right after that.
Even if you concede that point we're left with the question of why midwifery is especially risky in Ethiopia. Do they not have access to basis safety equipment?

Paying a government-funded profession based on risk creates perverse incentives. You'd have midwives campaigning against introducing surgical gloves because they've got a family to feed and don't want to lose the risk pay.
r > g should be an obvious corollary of an economy based on growth that is stimulated by inflationary policy. Is it a necessary consequence of capitalism in all policy universes? More study would be required, but there are very little data on economies without government driven inflationary policy, going back to the Ronan days when the mint gradually devalued the denarius.

I'm wondering how other certification agencies will react.

Specifically after more and more of the incestuous relationship between the FAA and Boeing comes to light.

Including claims that experienced engineers, which were in charge for certain certifications were demoted or fired if they were too critical or outright refused to certify certain sub systems as was reported in the Seattle Times[1]

It seems that since 2004 engineers in charge of certification were stopped to communicate directly with techies at the FAA, but reported to their managers, which in turn communicated with the FAA.

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

LiveMarks really is a fantastic addon to bring back Live Bookmarks functionality. That said, I've always been a fan of native browsers for their inherent advantages. Never felt the desire to use anything else, unless it has significant usability improvements. Phoenix/Firefox was always that browser for me. I usually suggest people use their native browser (Edge/Safari), and if they want an upgrade, to go to Firefox. With all of these recent debacles, it would be hard for me to not suggest the new Chromium-based Edge to Windows users and crossplatform.

Train drivers tend to be paid very highly, and I've heard the reason for that is a kind of risk. If something goes wrong (which it really can do catastrophically) then they shoulder the risk.

To look at it from the other side, don't apologists for capital say that the boss should collect profit (and in perpetuity too) because of the "risk" she took to start the company?
