You might try to enroll on an university degree, like bachelor or master.
In many universities of Europe is free or like 200€ per year/semester.
Then you can apply to accommodation aids and even other kind of aids for food etc.

Start a new life from zero, learning a job, also working (there are student jobs and also the traditional jobs). Luxembourg (where I'am right now) is pretty good for that, there are plenty of opportunities, you'll also be fine only speaking english. Learning languages here is also almost free.

Try to look something like that. Other interesting cities for that are Maastricht (netherlands) or maybe in Germany. Good luck.
> what browser am I supposed to use from now on?

There's actually quite a few. This Wikipedia list [0] might not be the best curation, but it carries my point, somewhat. For example, I've really enjoyed the power-user browsers, like surf, luakit or uzbl.

I know you were expressing the fact that we're stuck between Firefox and Chromium, because they're the only browsers able to keep up with the rapidly moving web stack and provide a fluid user experience at the same time. My point is if you're willing to compromise on that, you actually have other choices.

Oh I do hope to see the day when there's a variety of browsers, all equally compatible with the day's web. Doesn't seem like we're moving in that direction though.

Personally, I tolerate Firefox, because I want some of the extensions, namely Dark Reader and ublock. Dark Reader doesn't really have alternatives, as far as I know, and I find that network level blocking isn't effective or ergonomic enough to replace something like ublock origin. If I solved these two problems, I'd jump ship to surf immediately.

Just to finish my rant; the other day I was experimenting with text browsers for rendering simple sites like thefreedictionary or HN. Their ability to do that is quite abysmal. I think that says a bit about the state of web's accessibility.

Yeah, same thing in Denmark. When my girlfriend gave birth, we had 3 midwives assisting. When she lost what they deemed to be too much blood, they called in a doctor to take a look. Everything was fine. If she hadn't passed some specified threshold for bloodloss, we would not have seen a doctor (or a nurse, come to think of it) at all throughout the birth. Only midwives.
The problem with the idea of "revolution" is that it assumes that some group, however small or large, has the panacea for fixing things up or maybe worse, the willingness to destroy things and find out what to build in place as time goes.

But no one can guarantee a revolution will improve things in any measurable capacity. The risk therefore, is enourmous. And in the process, people suffer, die and things can become permanently worse.

I believe than in the face of a problem, a slower pace of experimentations and careful, but meaningful changes are a safer and probably more effective approach.

The irony of surprise is misunderstanding in the HN context too. I too pictured the poor bloke got up, cracked open his laptop to do some coding in a hospital bed. LOL. Thought: poor guy can't even get a break from devops on his wedding day and even after a fucking heart attack.

Someone should add [PDF] to the title. It would also provide better context by including "within the context of AI / ML" (not sure which term would be most appropriate) at the end of the title.

Under the Tasks section they talk about building assistive coding tools. The given example is to consume the huge GitHub commit stream in order to identify patterns for certain kinds of bug fixes and "best practices". You'd always want to have a human review all changes, but this sounds like it could be used to help you migrate and modernize old code.
No, it does not. David, this is just wrong. Existing add-ons do not become suddenly insecure.

What it does is allow you to install add-ons not signed by mozilla. Essentially the same thing as installing software not originating from the iOS and/or Mac AppStore, or the Ubuntu/Fedora/etc distro repositories, or the Windows Store, or the Play Store.

The signing stuff might protect some less tech-savvy users from installing "You need this codec to play this porn video" malware add-ons, same as the other walled gardens I listed do too (tho most I listed have still a door in the wall that you can unlock and open yourself, unlike Firefox Desktop).

But that's it. It is a "seal of approval" scheme saying that mozilla reviewers decided something is secure enough and has an OK quality (and wasn't forced to remove by US laws/authorities courts yet), implemented using DRM. It reduces the chances that users will install something malicious by accident/incompetence.

If users still run their add-ons from AMO, then there is no difference. Unless a bad actor can either MITM AMO connections or compromise the AMO servers. At which point the users has a lot more problems already than potentially malicious browser add-ons.

Until very recently, my experience shopping on Amazon.com was top notch. I always get what I order within a couple days. My account was opened in 2006. Between 2006 and 2014, I had one problem in total when ordering. It was for a $500 item that was marked delivered but never arrived. Amazon just sent me another shipment. I was so impressed in fact, I put every dime I had left after purchasing the Sp500 into Amazon.

They’ve come a long way since I bought them at < $300 a share. I don’t understand what’s next. Personally, I’m shopping less and less at Amazon.

In the US, I never thought of them as a luxury brand, but I did think of them as someone who understands that if you do the right thing for your customer and are insanely loyal to your customer, your customer will reciprocate. As of late, they don’t seem to care much about the customer.
I'll admit "Cover your baby in filth to prevent illness" makes for some good click-bait,and parents are a vulnerable group for junk science, but it's an old idea and there have been studies with some promising results. I'm also encouraged by the fact that there's not a clear or direct financial benefit to any one company or industry by telling parents to expose their young children to dirt and animals.

Here's some links on the subject:

As a counter to this point there have been scandals in England (eg Morcambe Bay, but there are others) where midwives killed babies through a combination of incompetence and arrogance, creating a dysfunctional culture that promoted midwifery to the exclusion of other professions - all because they had an unrealistic belief about "normal birth".

Normal birth is defined here: https://betterbirths.rcm.org.uk/resources/read/defining-norm...

Here's the Kirkup report: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

Here's the RCOG response: https://www.rcog.org.uk/globalassets/documents/news/rcog-res...

The RCM dropped their campaign around "normal births" shortly after Kirkup, and launched "better births": http://www.rcmnormalbirth.org.uk/

A news report that's a nice summary: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/aug/12/midwives-to-...

In England it seems the safest option is to have a mid-wife led birth with medical help available. Having a consultant obstetrician available appears to decrease rates of intervention, not increase them.

It kind of is like that for SpaceX, too. At least with Tesla that kind of changed in last couple of months from my point of view.
This is why it's important to have other interests besides just what you do at your day job. This question stops being a question if you're already looking forward to the weekends so that you can get out and do $X, and you rearrange things and take unpaid leave so that you can get in a big six week $X trip every year.

Sadly, lots of people make it all the way to retirement without ever really finding their $X. They're suddenly dumped out on the world with nothing to do and have to scramble to find a hobby. But it doesn't usually seem to work. You don't want to learn Fly Fishing at 65 because you have nothing better to do. You want to have it have been your passion for the last 30 years and now you get to go out and pursue it for real, all day every day.

Like a few others on this thread, I got myself into this position pretty early in life (through slow, deliberate, effort rather than exit event, but with essentially the same result). Fortunately, I already knew what I wanted to do every day.

To sum up: Find your thing today and start doing it. Today. Don't wait until some magic event in the future that may never come.

Free Trade is the answer. Most national civil aviation organisations defer to the aviation authority of the country where the manufacturer is based. So FAA is trusted/expected to maintain the standards for Boeing.

The last thing Boeing or Airbus wants is to have to prove their aircraft for every country in the world.

I think he is confusing midwife with doula. You don't hire a midwife to join you at the hospital. I think in the US, they are referred to as nurses more than midwives in hospitals. Here in Aus it's all midwives. Therein lies a bit of the problem as the profession should be seen as different to conventional nurses.

With a criminal record it will be extremely difficult to get a visa, let alone residency, in Canada or the UK. You would need to get a pardon, wait like a decade from the time of your last conviction or find some other way to prove your rehabilitation. Those are pretty serious offenses and countries don't want to import liabilities.

Indeed, the only contribution we see is a tiny bit of corporate taxes for the billions of dollars of public research Amazon and especially others use.

This is, depending on point of view, either a failure of the patent system (government cannot directly patent nor license) or of taxation, or both.

Oh the low level, additional failure of laws promoting economic growth such that employees are evaluated by the company and paid any low offer with no recourse. This could be either fixed by unions (though these like dramatic not everyday negotiations and tend to produce fiefdoms) or again government, not necessarily directly central, setting and overseeing wage standards based on their globally agreed policies.

In short, introducing an intermediary who can negotiate with clout and is not easy to buy.
(As seen in the past, union leaders and politicians are easy to buy.)

True. Still an interesting idea, even if it needs verification (or falsification).
> I still feel like the actions taken by Boeing resulted in charging for a safety feature

I still feel like a distinction needs to be made. According to this article, at no point before the grounding were airlines aware that they needed to pay extra to get this safety feature. Infact, they thought they already had it.

Boeing got no benefit, it was clearly a mistake.

Maybe you could argue the coverup was malicious behaviour, but such coverups can also result from incompetence.

The reason I think a distinction is necessary, is I think incompetence is much more dangerous than maliciousness.

A Malicious company evaluated each corner it cuts. It decides "Can I get away with this particular thing" and it will only cut the corners it thinks it can gets away with, leaving the more dangerous corners un-cut. A Malicious company will have notes on each corner they cut, or at least people who remember, so we can go in later and re-evaluate everything.

On the other-hand, an Incompetent company has no idea where it went wrong. It made random mistakes without realising. The mistakes could be anywhere along the risk-spectrum. They aren't documented. Nobody knows where they are. The only way to be sure you caught all these mistakes it to completely re-examine the whole design.

It was a sincere question. You say you've read up on this. I haven't, though I have lived in Thailand and travelled around the region, and from my personal experience (not as a consumer, but I don't need to be a smoker to have some idea (anecdotally) of the level of smoking around me) the vast majority of foreign men that were consumers were not involved in anything to do with children or any such thing.

Hence, I was interested in actual data. That's all. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Speaking truths that you find objectionable is not lying.

If you haven't encountered these issues, then I'm happy for you. For my wife and I, phantom inventory is a regular problem. Usually, we can catch the problem over WangWang, but it's not unusual for us to place the order and, just before paying, give the order number to the seller and have them confirm they've got it before paying, then pay and a few days later when the order hasn't shipped, message them again and get an apology and a sad story about one of the items being out of stock or only available in a different version.

Shopping on Amazon is like buying in Target and shopping on Taobao or Tmall (a slightly better experience w/re to seller flakiness) is akin to buying from a shabby flea market. If the nearest Target is a few hours' drive away and the flea market is ten minutes' drive from your house, you'll shop at the flea market but it's not really an enjoyable experience.

You could run something like this in the console:

window.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {
// space and arrow keys
if([32, 37, 38, 39, 40].indexOf(e.keyCode) > -1) {
e.preventDefault();
}
}, false);

That will prevent the scrolling when pressing the arrow keys. It's of course not a perfect solution, and something more robust would be to check if a game is currently running and so on, but it works as a quick hack.

Trump's tax cut disproportionately went to the very wealthy. Some data on that here: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tax-plan-consequence...

The richer you are, the higher the percentage your taxes went down. And that's a higher percentage on more income, too, so if you look at total dollars per income level it's much worse.

You made some bad choices - that's unfortunate.

If you can't bring yourself to America or Europe - you should bring some America to Kenya.

Lead by example - find the water, don't rob it, and teach newly arrived deportees how to stay hydrated. As your group of stateless friends continues to grow - so too does your ability to positively impact your new Kenyan environment.

Remember -- life has brought you to this moment for a reason. Make the best of it. Make peace with being in Africa. Raise up your neighbors and together build for the future.
What worries me even more is the monkeypatching they are now trying to do in order to get the permission to fly the plane again.

In the original design they had designed the MCAS to be able to make drastic changes which then caused the crash.

Now they are trying to fix that by making the system less intrusive, but didn't the engineers design the system to be so strong for a reason (because of the changed position of the engines)?

This seems to me like going through a codebase from someone else because there were errors and just deleting stuff that made problems. Even if the initial version had problems, it was designed that way for a reason?
I installed Vivaldi, and moved shortly back to Firefox. The two things that did it:

1. I accidentally saved the wrong password to a site. When I went to fix it, it said I needed to login to my Google account to change my stored password.

Wait, wat?! You are sending my passwords to Google, unencrypted, without telling me?!
Thai is not acceptable, aside from - What else are you sending?

1b. I see that it saves non password fields without my asking me to save them, and sending that to Google as well. Hmmmmm.

2. It has twice crashed and lost all my open tabs (yes, I have a tendency to keep many open tabs).

Also, for all I know, they are selling my bank account login. Research into the history of Vivaldi (semi fork of Opera) and its dev team left me unsatisfied who they are and that I can trust them.

It probably sends less data to Google than Chrome (which gets every single page, its contents, how long it was open, etc. but is hardly a contender if you want a browser and not just spyware.
Testing is valuable but my opinion of it has changed over the years.

On a new/fast evolving product I prefer to have a solid suite of integration/e2e tests and a lighter unit test suite near the edge of a server with no mocking of deps (e.g. if it uses a db, spin up a local instance). I would also test something that is non-trivial to understand or a critical dependency in the system e.g. a rules engine.

The reason being is - the code is in so much flux that the internal interfaces change constantly. In agile new requirements come along and you end up chucking a lot of the old code out of the window and wasting time.

As you move towards completion of the project and the internal interfaces shore up then increase the tests. So when it’s in maintenance mode someone else can easily make modifications and has documentation on maybe why something works in a certain way
