I disagree. Probably what they need is a better monitoring an alerting system that triggers when these certs are expiring. The software did what it was supposed to do -> prevent MITM attacks, fake extensions, etc. What they could have done better is give users the possibility to say "keep using the extensions despite the certificate expiration".

> I like the French system of school lunches. Every student has a card to pay for lunch. The exact price charged is on a sliding scale depending on family income.

I never really understood the whole "Free if your parents aren't rich" mentality. Parents of rich kids pay more tax so why not give them free lunches as well since they pay for it indirectly anyway? Reduces bureaucracy. We do that in Sweden. The same thing can be said about most things, like higher education, healthcare etc.

Annual Performance Review: Albert Einstein
This is particularly bad because it's the kind of failure that will make people try Chrome. And when they do and see it's faster there's no way they'll be back with Firefox. It's simply catastrophic. Mark my words when I say there will be a very visible dive in the number of Firefox users as reported by StatCounter.
Exactly my use case. Already installed chromium-ungoogled and am using a judicious amount of profiles to emulate this. Still not as nice as what the Container extension do, unfortunately.
Why would you assume there's an explicit blacklist? I'd think it's just that people independently note who gets a lot of bad press.

Some people are just potentially a liability to provide service for because of the risk of mass activist backlash and terrible PR if someone decides you're supporting them and it gets traction online.

> the only thing you can do to change things is to go ahead and try to change things.

You are describing taking risks and/or being penalized for little to no potential reward in most organizations.

You are doing something you are not asked to, so any inconvenience or side effect, whatever the cause is, is on you. And as it was not marketed internaly few people will be aware you did anything, accordingly you will get little recognition (financial or any).

It also presumes you already accomplished everything that was under your responsability, which is basically impossible in any org where objectives or KPIs are set so you hit a 80% target. You’ll then have to explain why you prioritized a seemingly random task, and bothered the other teams to help you do it without consulting your boss or their bosses.

Basically this approach could work for critical issues that are obvious they should be fixed. But then it should also be obvious to your boss, so getting their clearance is the normal way to do it.

This is I think the reason why people just leave instead of fighting a losing battle to fix issues they care about but the upper ranks don’t prioritize.
Well at the time I wasn't really making any moral judgements, just thinking of it as a statistical problem.

Of course Tesla and any other firm that releases stats to prove a point need to do so honestly. And they would have made the exact same considerations that I listed. So yeah, they should have released more representative stats.

I'm sure the PR people don't know anything about stats though, plus they would want to pick whatever they think makes the company look good.
So how did you end up doing it?

It’s indeed not super easy on macOS, I imagine you’d use a website to convert it or get ImageMagick through brew. On Windows I wonder if the photo app supports it, in which case you’d hopefully just double click the image and then save a copy, but unfortunately I cannot try that right now.

I think ideally Slack should be able to convert on the fly, just like creating low quality versions for thumbnails. It’s a paid service after all! But that doesn’t change the current predicament.

I personally too use PNG for graphic, and JPG for pictures even today, despite Lighthouse suggesting I add WebP extras. It’s just so much easier and more portable with so little to gain by doing it.
The saddest thing today is to realize that I can't use Firefox without extensions on privacy/security.

I'm a software engineer. I'm also over at Github:

https://github.com/jchv

I work at Google because it's an excellent place to work. I'm far from elite; I didn't finish college (couldn't afford) and I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, so being able to work at any large SV company is something I don't take for granted. I don't think any single employee can claim to love 100% of the things Google does, and that's fine. Nobody is required to.

As for why I would use an adblocker, practically speaking it's both for reducing annoyances and increasing security. Malware (and 0days!) delivered via ads is not unheard of, sadly.

> The last 80 years have had a string of successes for arranging simple calculators in ways that produce impressive results.

I view that as biological intelligence figuring out all sorts of clever ways to make calculating tools produce impressive results.

> Perhaps quantum computation is needed.

But why invoke physics if we're comparing biological intelligence to our computing tools? Isn't it enough to note the big differences? And here I'm not talking so much brain function as I am being a living, social animal that has to survive with a vast human culture.

This is the difference between looking at computers as as stepping stones to artificial replacements as opposed to enhancing our abilities. The AI stuff captures the imagination, promises fully automated utopias, scares us with apocalyptic scenarios, and is the stuff of lots of SciFi. While the reality is that computers have always been tools aiding human intelligence.

For some reason we view these tools as one day being like Pinocchio. The mythos of the movie AI is based on that vision where the robot boy becomes obsessed with a the blue fairy turning him into a real boy so his adoptive biological mother will love him and take him back.

But maybe like in the movie, someday the sentient robots will show up and gave our robot boy his wish.
Same problem, but not at startup but suddenly during working with FF. Printing a page does not work either.

Arman.
The downloaded extensions already passed verification when they were installed before the expiration. Disabling them now makes absolutely no sense. Even if the cert was compromised the moment it expired, previously installed extensions can't have become vulnerable without being updated.
Given that Firefox's market share has dropped below 10%, I doubt it will make much of a difference.

> As the philosopher John Rawls pointed out, a society of happiness-seekers would have no reason not to borrow heavily and leave the debt to future generations. (...) What’s more: if the only reason to have children is to make oneself happier, rather than to fulfill a social or moral duty, a lot fewer people will have children. Mounting national debt and a birthrate well below replacement level: that describes Western Europe today rather well.

Those two statements are inconsistent. If "mounting national debt" is evidence that the people of Western Europe only seek their own immediate pleasure, and if having children makes oneself happier, then we should expect those same people to have many children.

Maybe the author meant that having children don't make people happy (which may or may not be the case); but it's not what he said.

The fact that we don't have good force-feedback technology yet is basically why we don't have great VR input devices. Being able to make fast, precise, confident movements depends on having resistance and collision to take the brain's motion control from open-loop to closed-loop. Even supposedly feedbackless touchscreens have the benefit of screen friction and a defined rigid plane.

And people have been trying with force-feedback; it's just really hard to make it work with something that allows for wide range of motion, isn't massively cumbersome, and costs less than a new car.
A missing OCSP response does not fail closed, nor does a CLR url 404-ing fail closed.

The information leakage of CRLs is stating to the public that a cert needed to be revoked.

Obviously, a compromised cert that will expire in 5 years is horrible. However, a non compromised cert you are no longer using that will never expire is more off a risk than a disused cert that will expire in a year. Not to say you should leave the one year cert lying around. However, there is no desire to put the one year cert on a pre-shipped CLR.

Congratulations! In addition to other advice here, please find a scientifically minded and up to date pediatrician who can recommend good reading material to you. Unfortunately, it's hard to vet for this when you are not a medical professional, but read reputable materials about pregnancy and early childhood (research the authors) and try your best to learn as much as you can, while also searching carefully for a public track record, awards, etc. each candidate pediatrician might have.

When you have one you are happy with, discuss this topic and anything else you are curious about with him/her and the nurses. Don't be shy and ask as many questions as you can, they are there to help you. Please beware of anecdotes and forums. Best of luck!
Actually it could be not negligence but a way to perform an attack.

Register a domain, get a certificate lasting forever, let the domain expire and somebody buy it. Then somehow redirect all or part of the traffic to that domain to your own server with a valid certificate. Chances are that few people will notice something has changed in the details of the certificate.

However you'll have left traces all over the place: credit cards, phone numbers, etc.
Firefox 66.0.3 here, and this has been the case also for me, i.e. everything is still working. After looking around for a while in bewilderment, I think that what's going is that they have remotely used the "studies" feature of Firefox to temporarily work around the problem.

Indeed, I see in about:studies,

hotfix-reset-xpi-verification-timestamp-1548973•Complete
This study sets app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification to 1556945257

(unfortunately I can not see when it was run in about:studies)

i.e. this "study" has reset the timestamp of the last signature verification to this morning (when I have started Firefox). Since I read around that Firefox performs the check only every 24 hours, I guess that this is reason why we have not been experiencing the problem. We have now another day, after which we will have to reset the timestamp again (if it has not been solved upstream). The field is available/accessible also in about:config.

P.S. To be fairly honest, I was a bit surprised about the "studies" feature, I can not recall when it was introduced, but it is probably my fault for having overlooked it.

> Yiddish really has nothing to do with Hebrew other than the script and borrowed words which are forced into it. Sort of like Farsi and Arabic.

Not really true. It's a fusion of Germanic, Slavic (and today English and Dutch) with Hebrew and Aramaic. One thing that's amazing about Yiddish is the ability to shift from a secular to sacred level within the same language. The language and the culture is a tension between the two, and the writing of Yiddish expresses this by the fact that it reserves a whole set of letters only for religious words.

[Edited to add]: And its Hebrew words are not "forced into it". It's the language of Ashkenazi Jewry who used Hebrew and Aramaic in their day-to-day life too.

What you build or what you say is far more important than how you build it or say it. Too many people get hung up on the code quality of their projects and the technical side rather than the whole content/promotion one, and end up building a very shiny ghost town as a result.

Same with writers, video makers, etc. People get so distracted by the language/readability/structuring aspect that they forget that actually talking about things people care about matters significantly more.

So stop getting sidelined by tech and formal structure, and focus that effort on things people want/need instead.
Well, BGP and HEIC (or rather HEIF as HEIC is just the container IIRC) uses HEVC which means royalties, so unless MPEGLA were to make images using HEVC royalty free, I can't see any scenario where it would replace jpeg.

Webp is royalty free, but for lossy compression it's not a good enough improvement (imo) over jpeg for it to replace it. For lossless compression though, it beats PNG both in size and compression/decompression speed by a good margin.

As for potential jpeg replacements, we have AVIF which is like BGP,HEIF but with the royalty free AV1 codec: https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/

And the other one I find very interesting is PIK, which is a new lossy/lossless codec that is supposedly a good improvement over jpeg while being very fast, and also has the feature of being able to losslessly recompress jpeg images into pik with ~20% compression: https://github.com/google/pik

heads over to Python :)
> The only reason for a KV cache is if you're running a slow language like Ruby, PHP, Python, where the memory overhead for objects is large and the speed of a remote cache is roughly the same as one in memory. If you find yourself needing a cache for good enough performance you shouldn't be using these languages in the first place. In memory caches don't work well when you need 100+ server instances to handle the load anyways

You're saying reading a serialized Python object from Redis and deserializing it is comparable to accessing a ready in-memory object? No, it's an order of magnitude slower. I think the reason in-memory caches are not used much in Python/Ruby is a concurrency model, ie. in Python/Ruby you usually have to run multiple processes and in Java you run multiple threads, so the in-memory cache can be just a regular data structure normally accessed.

Also, I think you are overestimating the Python's memory overhead compared to Java - Python's int is 24 bytes and Java's Integer is 16 bytes (and using PyPy is another story - it can use several times less memory compared to Java).
