Regardless of marketing, Chrome is and was still better than Firefox technically.

And Chrome beating Edge and Safari is technical, not marketing. If iOS wasn't closed (Apple's market advantage), would Safari be dominant there?

Mozilla had us up to 2010 because Firefox was a better browser.
I tried Firefox again right when quantum landed, but at the time there was a significant delay in opening/rendering pages compared to Chrome - as in 4-5 seconds to open Reddit compared to 1-2 seconds on Chrome (this was in macOS on a 2013 MBP with both browsers running uBlock Origin) and an hour of troubleshooting and following tips on the web yielded no improvements - I don't know what's disingenuous about that...

With this latest change to Chrome it's probably time for me to give it another go. I'd love to switch, but the experience needs to be roughly on par.
Prices fluctuate a lot, embodied energy and production energy can fluctuate for the same thing too, but trend down until they got the ceiling or whole branch of technology is phased out.

You could take some representative branches of housing to build what is called an energy basket, using similar method used to calculate PPP.

Such rough methods would include communication, transportation, housing, clothing, food, self-expression and a few more mostly timeless needs that haven't changed for many centuries.

The problem is of accurate representative sampling of each category. That gets easier the closer we are to modernity with big data gathering.

The methodology would survive start from before bronze age even, I think.
I find this to be a highly irrational, disturbing and very, very dangerous line of thought.

Yes, revealing war crimes - regardless of whether they are prosecuted by legal entities with the responsibility to do so - is vital to the health of society.

It must be done in order to live in a just and fair way - covering it up leads to escalation, as we have seen time and time again in recent history.

Do you really think that 'waiting until its at genocide scale' is the appropriate action to take?

The people must not be lied to about the crimes committed in their name by their state - because they, ultimately, will pay the price.

Cheney and Bush may not be in irons in The Hague, but certainly a large portion of the Western world, having educated itself on the reality of our criminal wars, has a right to know what is being done in our names - and cultural justice does result from these secret crimes being revealed.
This has nothing to do with DRM, and everything to do with Google/YouTube removing search results / videos for copyright infringing material and dedicated websites!

Removing DRM doesn't make "piracy" legal !

As a further proof of this, high quality "pirated" versions of TV shows / movies are available a few days after they are available on (DRMed!) optical disk and mere hours for (DRMed!) streaming !

And note also that DRM for video is broken much faster than DRM for video games (and with a resulting "product" that is much more convenient) - all while a not insignificant amount of video games is sold without any DRM, with a whole online store - GoG - using the lack of it to differentiate itself from the competition !

The most interesting question is why do Americans dominate software technology specifically? It is the most level playing field of all technologies. The skills to develop a state-of-the-art next-generation software technology are readily available and learnable globally while requiring negligible capital. On paper, you would expect this to be an area where Americans have the smallest advantage instead of one of the biggest.

Having worked with software engineering teams around the world over the years, and also done a lot of software tech M&A diligence, I've come to appreciate the massive impact that local culture has on being effective at advanced software development. This goes beyond the culture of the company itself; the level of ambition and optimistic self-belief required to be effective at developing very advanced software isn't terribly compatible with environments where Tall Poppy Syndrome/Law of Jante/etc is a real social dynamic, and that is very much the rule rather than the exception.
There is no "collective spending" when the spending isn't done by "the collective". To argue that "some people spend money, those people are part of the collective, therefore the collective spends that money" just removes all value from the terms. Sure, the "worldwide collective" spends money on everything ...

Europe was rebuilt 60 years ago (infrastructure, industry, and all)

> WWII was a hundred year boost.

Not sure where you get this information but looking at the data I linked, WW2 provided a gentle touch before the US started to slide down and has been ever since.
> If the industry was more competitive they wouldn't be able to turn away money.

This is the stupid libertarian answer for everything, not so different from communism in its arrogance and over-simplification of human motives and behaviors. If the XX century taught us anything, it's that there are no simple answers.

It the industry was perfectly competitive, nobody would be able to turn away money. We would have the perfect whip, making us all labor for all of our waking hours, no holidays, no weekends. Consumers would have perfect choice at the lowest possible prices. They would, however, have zero free time to exercise this "freedom".

Too much competition is cruel and wasteful, leading to a dystopia where, if you take 1 second of rest, someone else might not. Too little competition kills motivation to do the things that are hard but essential, leading to mass starvation and social system collapse.

The answer is democracy, which is not a simple answer nor a silver bullet. But it's the best game in town. When things go too far in one direction, it is the citizen's right and duty to push them in another one. Sometimes the government interferes too little, sometimes too much. Bureaucracies and technocrats might be unsexy, but they lead to a more pleasant and humane world than slogans.

Tech companies should not have the final say on what you can are not use markets for. In a democracy, rules of society > rules of companies.

A root user inside the container can cause more havoc inside the container. One issue is that you might have sensitive data accessible from within inside the container. A hacker replacing system binaries inside the container might also affect how your application inside the container runs, a read-only user makes this much more difficult.

You can't assume all containers have same access and trust-level as a user because at some point you also have to process your requests and store your data - and that processing is most likely also be done in another container (even if your actual data-volume is mounted outside the container). For such containers same security measures as for a physicial machine applies.

Yes, but so does Chrome.

In that regard, Firefox is not a worse option, just equally suboptimal.

The issue with this rating inflation is that it's a recursive effect.

If the majority end up treating 5 as average, then you also have to do the same and go with how the majority ends up using the rating system, which in turn forces even more people to use that definition of ratings, and so the cycle continues.

If you hold 3/5 as your average when 5/5 is held as the average for most people, you're just hitting the driver with a "this was awful" effectively.

This rating scale allows for some form of categorisation of the levels of 'badness' of the drive (e.g. differentiating between dangerous driving and jerky driving, between rudeness and general discomfort), but doesn't allow 'above satisfactory' to be separated from good or excellent.

But perhaps that's what Uber is going for with the rating system; maybe their intent is that 5 is meant to be 'above satisfactory' and anything better than that should be a 5 + a tip? If that's not their intent then I have no clue why they haven't redone the rating system already.
It's funny you say that, I learned it because I believe it's in demand commercially, and is also a joy to work with. I perceive that companies using Scala would be on average better to work for (from a developer's point of view) than those using say NodeJS or PHP.
"Mind your manners", I can agree with.

"Don't mention the war", I cannot.

I believe that censoring opinion around the subject of the Wests' criminal wars only provides further cover for those who profit from it.
Will this affect just Chrome or will browsers built on top of chromium also get manifest V3? If so, I assume they can implement the old web request API themselves to keep as blockers working?

I always give myself perfect scores on any self-review.

If my manager wants to give me a lower score, that's not something I'm offended by; though I fully expect them to explain - in detail - all my shortcomings that resulted in their determination. I'll push back on just about all of their examples, even if I actually agree with their assessment.

I want my performance reviews to be as objective as possible. In my opinion, others should feel as though they have to convince me that I'm an imperfect employee, because they do.

Realistically, what does one have to gain by not defending themselves?

While I do think you have a bit of a point, the same could have been said (and probably was said) about SpaceX and reusable rockets.

We actually know the limits of information density from bottom, that puts a bottom floor on electronics unless someone really figures out new physics.
Likewise we know bottom floor for efficiency during transit in atmosphere under same condition.

Breaking both in any major way would require or beget actual teleportation. (Which unlike electricity or moving in atmosphere has not been seen in nature.)

There does exist a series of absolute limits on Earth, such as capacity for growing food limited on sunlight, water and availability of specific minerals.
Inserting more planets adds to that limit with a transportation losses... Unknown exactly but bottom floor is easy to figure out for spaceflight and mining (unless teleportation).

You can even limit maximum size of "life speed" cone around Earth which would be the maximum distance we can get things from during lifetime of any person. (Unless immortality or teleportation or high multiplier FTL.)
Fake data that you claim can is trivial to filter out and provides Google/FB/etc with a "nice additional data point to identify and track users running it".. in which case it seems counterproductive to ban it instead of simply making sure it isn't featured/recommended.

You can easily adjust the click rate in AdNauseam's settings (assuming I only click 1 out of 50 ads then it will be completely random if Google's ads are clicked once per 1 or 1000 ad loads because they don't know how many ads were loaded by other providers inbetween), click timing is affected by so many load factors that I'd think it isn't even necessary to sleep a random period before clicking. Other techniques, such as "ad traps" are easily countered by IP changes/Cookie AutoDelete extension.

This seems pretty cool -- but if I understand correctly, the promise of this is more constant/predictable latency that it is real-time.
My previous (rather limited) understanding of Pathfinder was that it was just a text renderer, I didn't realize that it was a more general vector graphics package. Is the idea for Pathfinder that it should be integrated into Firefox for all its vector rendering needs (SVG and so forth)?

> but since it is energy and fundamental to everything, all prices will go up, so we will have inflation, but inflation is not growth.

Oh ok... I see why I got lost. In my head I didn't hold the assumption that "all growth necessarily must consume more energy". This is assumed throughout the article until the Epilogue.

But if you drop this assumption, then I don't think the "it's just inflation not growth" holds anymore.
It does not allow blocking Google\any tracking and Google ads, essentially, and gives the Ad industry (and malware) a way to circumvent the blocker with modern tech, because it is a non smart ad blocker but a dumb filter list from 2002.

This is fully intended to give Google the ability to use sophisticated scripts to serve ads and track you despite blocking. Everything else Google says about this is bull!

They probably already have the tech set up. And that real blocking still works for Enterprisr customers is the nail in thr coffin.

If you care about a usable Web, STOP USING CHROME.

Google is has become the #1 anti user and anti freedom company. They want to make money from Ads and tracking, so dont think they will allow you to block ads.

Slightly OT: Github has API rate limits that often slaughter us (we use Jenkins to scan our Github org), and will get worse in the future as we move/create more repos.

I have never had any performance or memory related issues with firefox, on a modest xps 13 9343 with 4gb ram. In fact, with regular usage, firefox rarely exceeds 2gb usage, and cpu usage is never an issue. Though I have tweaked my firefox quite a bit, I don't think the core issue is with the browser technology. The technology is fantastic and computers are fast. Rather, I see it is a combination of two things: poor web browsing habits (tabs open, websites visited) and the ever-increasing badness of "modern" websites.
Such a thing doesn’t exist because then it could be trivially broken.
You could fork Chromium, but then Google will prevent you from watching videos like netflix and amazon online, which means no one is gonna use this browser

The rider can also leave a bad rating for the driver in this case, though, right?

Does Uber deactivate drivers that fall below a certain rating? Even if they don't, I presume lower ratings would hurt a driver more than they would a passenger.

So if a driver is trying to pull this it wouldn't end out great for either party, I would presume?

Thing is, the core premise of influential-yet-fictitious-journalism was never a captivating or realistic tale to begin with.

I haven't met anyone who eats up chain letters or Weekly World News tabloids, suddenly and recently, nor very much in the past.

People can usually smell total bullshit. It's not what they vote by.

Unfamiliar sources of information aren't readily trusted. The reality is that there really are a lot of conservatives that voted like assholes because they are, in fact, assholes.

They didn't read the internet equivalent of The Enquirer, discover juicy garbage and vote accordingly. No excuse was needed. They really do like who they voted for, hate who they voted against, and have always been that way. George W. Bush Jr. had a popular vote percentage in the high forties, so it wasn't something new or shocking.

Frog cartoons and buzzwords and slogans were really just symptoms. The disease is endemic.

The fake news narrative is, itself, fake. This framing is deliberate, as it becomes slippery to even propose the idea of such a double negative. To say the fakeness is fake sounds almost silly, but there you go.
In cases where you don't care about query results and you don't care if the operation completes, you mean.

Such limits are derived from our current understanding, of which one would have probably given a completely different answers 150 years ago based on our understanding then.

>Breaking both in any major way would require or beget actual teleportation. (Which unlike electricity or moving in atmosphere has not been seen in nature.)

Well maybe we haven't seen them because we didn't know how to look… recently declassified FLIR from US navy reporting archives suggest things that we haven't typically seen in nature in the past, can be seen.

>There does exist a series of absolute limits on Earth, such as capacity for growing food limited on sunlight, water and availability of specific minerals.

True, but what is the purpose of any of these things, and do we currently pursue the most efficient ways of doing such for those ends in a way that we cannot think about it anymore?
