Please stop invoking the term concentration camp. We all know the imagery that term conjures (perhaps that is the intent of users such as yourself). What the CCP is doing is in no way comparable to Auschwitz.

Ask yourself what is more likely:

1. The government of China is rounding up millions upon millions of Uighurs in hard labor camps, harvesting their organs and working them to death.

or

2. The government of China is trying to contain further unrest after what happened during the Urumqi riots by subjecting thousands of people to re-education, where they sit for hours each day reading and listening to government propaganda.

Do you really think any member of the CCP would find scenario #1 would be in China's best interest, especially given China's increasing exposure on the world stage? Any great defender of freedom and democracy in the world would salivate at the thought of scenario #1 as it would give them every excuse they could possibly need to "liberate" such an oppressed peoples.
hmm, i don't seem to have been affected by this bug somehow (my extensions are all still working). i turn off as much phoning home as i can (including turning studies off) and block connections to *.services.mozilla.com

any idea why i might not be affected? it may help others who might want to retain control of their firefox browser (chromium-based browsers being non-sequiturs).
The GP was right. There is very little reason for most people to need to drive in central London. In fact most of my London based friends either don’t have a driving licence or do and keep their car in a location outside of London.

Unless your job requires driving, there’s no incentive to drive in central London. It’s slower than public transport (slower than even waking on some streets), more expensive than public transport and more stressful than public transport.

Anybody have any hints for someone who tries to install this and gets a connection error?

EDIT: Thanks to HN User gpm for suggesting a possible fix for this [1]. Right-click, save-as the XPI to somewhere on your computer (or use curl, wget or whatever tool of you choice), and then run it within Firefox. That might work (it did in my case).

EDIT 2: Also, interstingly, the blog post does have an update saying "There are a number of work-arounds being discussed in the community. These are not recommended as they may conflict with fixes we are deploying.", so, use at your own caution I guess.

As someone who has learned multiple foreign languages, I agree. I think everyone should spend a year or two learning a foreign language, like is done in many schools in the US. But beyond that the cost/reward ratio isn't worth it for everyone. If it's not something that you enjoy learning, and you don't expect to be exposed to a specific language, your time might be better spent focusing on other areas.

I don't think you get that much exposure to another culture just by learning their language, if you aren't also interacting with that other culture. I'm not saying that you don't learn anything, just that it's a very inefficient way of broadening your perspectives. For most people it takes a lot of effort to get to the point where you can have meaningful conversations in a foreign language. And if you speak English fluently, it can be a battle sometimes getting people to speak their language with you when they want to practice English or don't want to deal with non-native speakers of their language. So even I sometimes I feel like learning the language provided little practical use.

If someone has the opportunity to learn a language and then live in that country for a little while, I believe that is a very worthwhile experience. But it's not something that everyone has the opportunity to do.
Is there a CVE for this "normandy" backdoor?
It's tough because you have to acknowledge that the hate comes from other women, in part because the mommy bloggers are selling an idealized identity of women; the charmingly neurotic upper class woman with a loving but quirky husband, a picture-perfect house, beautiful kids, and plenty of instagrammable emotional moments and experiences.

I don't think us guys generally have that same pressure about being males, because we know a lot of it is just impossible. You can admire Elon Musk, but we know its near impossible to be him. But the mommy blogger is a lot closer to women, yet in many ways is as unrealistic to be.

Whistleblowing does not always involve an investigation, by officials or journalists or anyone else.

As an example, here's a quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower : "Most whistleblowers are internal whistleblowers, who report misconduct on a fellow employee or superior within their company through anonymous reporting mechanisms often called hotlines."

That is, 1) no investigation, 2) anonymous, 3) internal.

It's certainly dangerous if all the accusers are anonymous. However, in this case there are two who are not anonymous. How many are needed?
Most large software projects have something like this. The typical use case is rolling out a feature gradually, to limit the number of users impacted if a new feature has problems: first you include the feature in a release, but disabled by default; then you turn it on for a small percentage of users. If instrumentation from those users reports crashes, you abort; otherwise, you enable it for everyone else.

Agreed on immersion being critical.

You also for languages distant from ones you know really need a teacher (which is a problem with Duolingo), at least to break into the elementary levels.

> You speak the words, but the vendor doesn't understand. Your tones are off.

The immersion is critical to having repetitive practice and exposure, but few adults (at least I'm not one) will get this far (that is being capable of extending knowledge via immersion) without the initial aid of a teacher. e.g. Learning to hear/speak sounds that don't exist in your native language requires both extensive instruction and feedback more detailed than just "I don't understand".

There really doesn't need to be a reason other than "because I want to", because the incremental impact of one car is low enough that no-one really thinks about it. If you think of people who drive cars as some sort of careless demons you've missed the point really - it's purely an economics problem.

I own a car and have used it to drive in on occasion just because I can. It's fun to roll about the streets and do stuff like drive down Shaftesbury Avenue.

This is precisely why taxation is necessary, because people don't realise that what they're doing is an issue in aggregate. If you had to pay the cost of a taxi to get to the local supermarket then people would figure out alternatives like cycling/taking the bus fairly quickly (and the supermarkets would adjust their business models, you'd see smaller ones more dispersed).

I think part of the issue is that people can't seem to juggle the concept of something being fun and good but ultimately damaging. I might enjoy a pint every now and then, but I'm fairly happy about the fact that we tax it.
I mentioned it before, but https://ncase.me/remember/ is a verily accessible read on the subject of spaced repetition.
That's a really old version of firefox, probably an API has changed with my workaround.

I know of an API change that means the official hotfix won't work (whether you install it my bootleg way or the official studies way).

My recommendation is to upgrade your firefox version.
Not only that, but now people are evaluating other decisions that Mozilla has made separately from this in an unfavorable light (Studies and Normandy, specifically).

Sounds like a good thing. Probably sounds like a good thing to some of the engineers at Mozilla.

The computing industry loses out on this too: we're all better off for chrome having a viable open source competitor.

I want a free competitor, not an open source one. And this is the most prominent example of that somewhat subtle distinction: Firefox is open source, but with all these backdoors it's no longer free, neither in spirit nor in practice.

P.S. On the other hand, it's probably indeed better to have at least two serious competing browsers, even if they are both non-free.
True, but would they be able to ship within the window they could become relevant? Would they be able to add the required features?

You can ship your own clone of Reddit next week, with blazingly fast code, running on two tiny VMs and supporting more load than Reddit, but would it be successful?
> You never have "real" control over your own actions because free will is an illusion.

This is facile, and you certainly haven't proven the absence of free will just bey stating it here.

I believe the best assumption, since we feel as though e have free will, is to behave as though we and other people (and animals) have free will.

But aside from that, the fine article isn't really saying anything new. It's a known thing that anger has a dis-inhibiting effect. IIRC, it bypasses the prefrontal cortex in favour of the limbic system.

This is why so many religions and philosophies (esp Buddhism) warn us about the dangers of acting on our anger.

Anger makes us do ill considered things, and we often harm people and regret it later.
I don't have chrome, but I have chromium, and I don't see its package depend on the qt5-webengine package that qutebrowser depends on. Doesn't chrome/chromium use their own web engine called Blink[1]?

Happiness is a feeling. It's purpose is to reward you for doing the right thing. What that is can be pretty flexible but it's ultimately informed by our biological and genetic imperatives. It follows that you can not expect to be happy all the time just as a healthy human is not constantly angry or sad. Happiness is a means to an end which is to get you to and keep you living a good life and not an end in itself. The surest way to invite misery is to go chasing happiness.

It's capable of doing IO against a real ZFS array without any other code. ARC is an implementation detail and not necessary for correctness. If you removed ARC from ZoL it would still work, just slower. ARC is far from the most interesting milestone for a reimplementation effort because an ARC implementation doesn't need to be anything like the Sun version internally, as long as it offers similar performance.

This project is cool not because you're going to run the Python in your kernel today, but because someone can use it as a documented reference implementation of all of the data structures and transactions that is not covered by the CDDL, so another implementation based on this can live in the Linux kernel without problem.
This is purely anecdotal but I think it could be how most people will experience language study.

On my last flight from Japan, I sat next to a 20-something couple who spent a week in Japan. They told me they had a great time but they had problems trying to communicate. While most Japanese know a bit of English, they wanted to converse in Japanese and had incredibly hard time. Both of them spent 5 months studying Japanese on Duolingo on their phones and thought they had a decent grasp if language so they were surprised when they couldn't understand Japanese native speakers and couldn't speak it well enough for natives to understand them.

I never even heard of Duolingo before this experience and after trying ti myself for an hour, I can think of a half-a-dozen better ways to spend 5 months studying Japanese than to do work for Duolingo.
Ah okay yeah I set it to true, default was false. Error is connection failure (same error as for the add-ons)
There’s no guarantee that a (malicious or undesirable) extension was added via FF, so check on install could be circumvented by any of the crapware installers we all love.
I agree. It sounds like lordnacho got a weak dose.

It should be kept in mind, however, is that people's sensitivity to various drugs varies. So what might be a weak dose to one person might be a strong dose to another.

Those still would have their certificates checked on installation.

And honestly, I think it is security theater to attempt to defend against attackers on the same or higher privilege level. If microsoft wants to force something down your throat on windows then there's not much you can do.

The problem is that mozilla turns the failures of others into their own problem and then they try to fix it themselves. That scope and responsibility creep leads us to the fallout we're seeing now.
So you think character critiques should include hearsay and rumor in order to make a complete case? I am totally fine with contextual interpretation.

Lately each time I start R, it pops up a dialog 'the svn command requires the command line developer tools ... Would you like to install the tools now?"

but I don't use svn. In the Preferences -> Git / Svn panel, "enable version control" isn't enabled.

If I do enable Git / svn there are input fields for their paths, but no obvious way of saying you use one not the other, or you don't have one of them installed.

Anyone else see this?

I don't understand this comment. You've thought up some good reasons, so why the mystery?
After using the .xpi file?

Have you tried reinstalling the addons? I know it's less than ideal, but on one of my installs firefox had decided to uninstall the addons after disabling them (I think because it updated firefox version after disabling them). If it did that I don't think there is any way to get them back short of reinstalling.
What kind of a time investment did it require on a day to day basis? In the last few weeks I've been eyeing Babbel and Duolingo as good options to get started learning a particular language.
How do you propose Firefox should tell whether the unsigned, shady add-on was installed by the user, or by some other dodgy app messing with Firefox's files whilst it wasn't running to make it look like the user installed the add-on?

In this example, though, we are looking for actionable items. But for the pollution, it appears this girl would have not had respiratory failure. Reducing pollution is the actionable item for addressing the respiratory related illness in this story, and thus the focal point. Writing an article about this person and not mentioning pollution, and writing only about respiratoy failure, would have been utterly pointless.

Edit, to add: just because something is true does not make it relevant. It is true that if this woman never would have been born she would not have had respiratory failure caused by pollution and this article never would have been written... but how is stating that helpful?

I don't see how the preference of older people for the suburbs has anything to do with our culture overvaluing youth.

As for the politicians and business leaders, they are older. The average age of CEOs is 50. In Congress, it's almost 60 - that's 20 years older than the people they represent. Young people may have the attention, but Boomers (and some X'ers) have the Power.
If i dont get light cardio exercise in a few days time my back tightens up, my knees hurt, and i dont look forward to sitting for hours at a time.

Commuting by bicycle 3 miles to work helps a lot. Basically prevents my back and knee pain.

Walking a mile bus station to work helps as well but not as effective as biking.

Getting up for water, coffee, and bathroom as frequently as possible to keep the blood flowing in my body helps as well even though people around you give you looks for moving around so much (and not working lol).
Over a decade ago, I recall the studios that produce feature films for DVD or other high quality productions complaining that MindGeek (they had a different name back then) were either turning a blind eye to or very slow to react to DMCA notifications submitted by these studios. Over time, MG were able to buy out many of their former competitors so now they do own the copyright for a lot of the content uploaded to tube sites.

Apple has been raising prices even with diminishing demand.

In Europe iPhones are more than €1000, and besides a few people most don't see any value in newer models anymore and just stick to their current model for as long as possible.

When they buy a new one, most people choose a budget model because nowadays they work just as well (I guess Huawei's growth makes sense, then).

Personally, I also find all new iPhones extremely ugly. I have a Moto G5 and not only does it work great, it doesn't have a notch and I paid 1/5 what an iPhone costs.

> Unless you frequently travel somewhere where another language is spoken, have family that speaks another language, or want to travel places like that [...]

As someone who has studied a handfull of languages and have no talent for language learning I would agree. If you have no connection to the language and no desire to travel to a place where it's spoken, it would be like any other hobby. But if you want to get to know a culture in depth or work in another country it's pretty much mandatory.
Oh, I thought the article was about psychology and where what we have studied illustrates determinism and where nothing has ever shown free will. I mean even what comes out of neuroscience shows how the brain reacts before we're even aware. Free will is an impossibility, how can oneself make choice or decisions that are unaffected by the external forces exerted upon oneself. One's birth being the "starting point" into reality is all that decides everything until the end.
You don't have to cause misery to others merely because you have chosen to go your own way rather than choosing to chase happiness.

I'm curious, do you switch at every fuck up?

That's probably because smartphones are way too expensive.

Huawei and Xiaomi sold a lot of phones because their phone are good enough not to make people miss iphones and stuff yet cost only a fraction.

Personally, I got a brand new Xiaomi phone for 200 euros off Amazon with a 4-core cpu, 5.5 inches display, 64 gb storage and 4 gb ram. So far it served me good and has done everything I've needed.

I got an iPhone 6 from work for on-call availability, and it is actually superior in many ways, but despite this in no way I'm going to drop 800-1100 euros on a phone.
I'm not a developer though, so it's not super urgent. Just felt like figuring it out.
