Google Chrome Enterprise didn't exist when Manifest version 2 was introduced (and version 1 deprecated), so it's difficult to guess what will happen this time around. But if the policy now is the same as then, here's what will occur:

Chrome will deprecate in a release, approximately 1 year later Chrome will block updating of any extensions using the old manifest, and after approximately 18 months they will remove any extensions from the Web Store that have not updated, and approximately 2 years after the deprecation later the code to support the manifest will be removed.
Improvements in teaching are very unlikely to change the rank ordering of who learns fastest/most/best. It can absolutely change how much I’d learned and when individual students learn something. Online teaching is far more conducive to mastery learning and ability grouping than offline education. Look at Lambda School for an example. If you have large cohorts starting on a regular basis you can have some people progressing slower than others but ensure they get there eventually in a way that’s not going to happen in a normal classroom environment. The scope for individualised instruction in an environment where you have classes of 15-30 students is limited. If you have 200 students starting every four weeks you can divide them into ten 20 person classes based on where they are in the curriculum and they’ll do much better than if they were doing things they’d already mastered or for which they just don’t have the prerequisites.

On a more purely technological basis integrating spaced repetition into instructional design would be a massive win. Imagine if people actually remembered what they’d been taught in school instead of having a hazy idea the US Civil War was somewhere in the 1800s.
> Not everything is SV property greed. What if this person bought the home so he could just have a place to live? Not everybody buys a home with the intention of making money. Some just want a stable home for their kids.

If you're buying a home on credit, then you're speculating on real estate. Whether or not your intent is to turn a profit is besides the point. If someone wants a home, then can rent or buy a home that they can afford with cash. You don't need to buy a house on credit to find a home.

> In general your family is always better than a job. When you are on your death bed I can guarantee you that your boss won't be there holding your hand.

If you don't have a job then it's hard to provide a good life for your family. You won't have anyone holding your hand on your deathbed if you can't provide for you family and your wife and kids have to leave you to find a man that can. The strain of having to move away from cousins, aunts, etc. is drastically less than not having a job - at least in my view of things. The example in the article isn't even moving very far - literally the neighboring state. Rick and his family could easily see their extended family on the holidays if they wanted to.

> Then how do you explain our current low unemployment numbers? If anything it appears working is preferred over our welfare system. Many people want purpose and want to work.

Unemployment tracks people who are looking for work but cannot find a job. If people stop looking for work, then they are no longer counted as unemployed. This is consistent with the fact that we're seeing low unemployment but also lower labor participation rates. Granted, lower labor participation is at least in part due to other factors like an ageing population.

>Specifically, IEEE says they “cannot receive or access materials submitted by other persons until after IEE has accepted the material for publication.” At that point, Huawei scientists “may act as editor or peer reviewer for that material.”

Huawei employees can peer review, just only after it is selected for publication. Considering the "severe legal implications" mentioned, perhaps there is a NDA agreement that IEEE's lawyers determined would run afoul of the sanctions?
Disgusting. To extent I can will transition out of NF gear. Will share broadly to encourage others to do so.

DRMs are integrated by websites owners.

If a website is using Proprietary DRM A, your browser needs to be licensed to use DRM A.
Slightly off topic, I'm finding it very disingenuous that people in this thread(and any other threads that come up about Firefox) have actually had significant performance issues with Firefox. No bugs that are noteworthy, sans that fiasco with the expired certificate that disabled addons briefly.

I've been using Firefox since "quantum" on both my MacBooks(one of which is old AF) and on Linux. I've yet to have problems playing video, streaming, or anything of the sort. I keep tons of tabs open. I just can't really say anything wrong about Firefox at this point.

It was once the case that Firefox had significant disadvantages in contrast to Chrome, but now the only reason I have to still keep Chrome installed is when work forces me to use some Google-proprietary page that doesn't work in other browsers.

If you had problems with Firefox 2 years ago, try it again before bringing up performance when people are considering it as an alternative to deleting Chrome. The more people who uninstall Chrome, the better.
You aren’t pushing so much as pulling. It is much more difficult to control from the inside. Anyways, I just don’t ride in enough cars to get used to the different tensions (maybe if I took Uber more). Also, it always seems to be the American sedans that have the most problems, which we don’t have too many of on the west coast.
I did the same a few weeks back, and the ad blocking's been great. Hasn't behaved any different from Chrome + uBlock.

You can wave any object at the sensor. Maybe an unauthorized tag will yield a different beep or make the light flash a different color. Maybe the person in front of you will be in a position to see the light on the reader, maybe they'll notice, and maybe they'll consider it odd. Getting that far, and then actually deciding to challenge you or report it, is a vanishingly small chance.

There is no point in badging an unlocked door, or in expecting people to do so. You have to actually close it between entries. This is a physically and socially ridiculous thing to do with traditional doors; if it's what you want, you need a turnstile.
It also doesn't address people with actual nutrient deficiencies. Maurice and Maralyn Bailey were a British couple who survived for 117 days in a life raft.

For what it's worth, I've always known them as:

[ bracket, alt. square bracket

The biggest confusion is between bracket and parentheses, in that people will use bracket to mean both. If I think there might be confusion I use the alternatives as they seem to remove all ambiguity.

Human Interest (YC S15) Is Hiring a Senior Product Manager
Good points. I don't debate the plausibility of the mechanisms they discussed, but rather find the lack of coherency between the initial premise and the 'supporting arguments' confusing.

It reads like they took the 'myth' that "Some cravings are based on nutritional need" spun it into the strawman "All craving are based 100% on nutritional need" and then spend the rest of the article smugly congratulating themselves for tearing down their strawman. Because nobody actually advocates for the strawman, the meandering content of the article comes across as bizarre.

True for turnstiles that open and close. New York's full-height subway gates are just metal revolving doors that only revolve enough for one person per card.

The 2 big things missing on typescript:

1) Operator overloading

2) Runtime type checking of JSON payloads (on dev env at least)

Can't believe in 2019 every library has to create its own way to add 2 elements of the same class together e.g dataframe1.addTo(dataframe2) vs dataframe1 + dataframe2

And the most common error that it should help catch during development is that you get a JSON and you cast it but it means nothing cause on runtime the JSON can be something completely different and nothing breaks until is somewhere else hard to debug, I get that Microsoft don't want to add runtime overhead but it should be possible at least on development mode.
See my above reply to jbay808. If you include imports, CO2 emissions attributable to the US increase by 6%. Even with that 6% upward correction, primary energy consumption per capita in the US now is lower than it was in the 1970s.
The 1.3 days number is the orbital period -- how long it takes the planet to go around the star.

Planets with short orbital periods are close to the star. If a planet is close enough to the parent star, the gravity of the star is strong enough to lock the rotation of the planet such that one side is always facing the star.
Exactly - I am getting a pretty big “baby out with the bath water” vibe here. I use the service precisely because it has a decent UI and most importantly isn’t google. I use telegram for the same reason. I believe some determined state level actor could get what they needed against me, but I can easily say that the information I give to ProtonMail or Telegram at least isn’t going to be vacuumed up by the next dystopian company without some level of effort.

I think I'm thinking of security audit, while you're thinking about regulation/fiscal audit. Not sure what GP was talking about.
It’s irrelevant that a company is able to skirt regulation? Would Uber be in the position to “institute arbitrary criteria” if they had to compete in an environment with proper governance being in place?

The crux of your argument is we shouldn’t care about how we get there but what happens next or essentially, how do we react.

If you want to solve a problem, identify and fix the root cause instead of reactively applying some patch to cover the bleeding.

Getting “annoyed” at someone discussing the root cause is misguided.
The most overrated thing in the history of history is the workload of a college student. Nobody is asking any of them to be experts with using certain tools, but they should certainly be able to figure out how to use them without being spoonfed in class. Given that plenty of tools are used in multiple classes, and the assertion that students don't have enough time to figure out how their own tools work becomes even more invalid than it already impossibly is.
"But yet none of the music in iTunes has DRM and yet it also makes robust revenues."

This is totally misleading.

The music industry was wiped out and digital revenues are net, a fraction of what they would be.

The 'new equilibrium' on the Supply and Demand curve is now 'iTunes' and a few other things.

So yes, in this new crappy market, some people can make money, but it's bad.

" DRM doesn't really stop anyone -- it's convenience that people care about"

You've contradicted yourself in the same statement.

We know 'DRM' won't stop 'everyone', but it's totally misleading to say 'DRM won't stop anyone'.

Everytime someone buys a piece of media DRM 'has stopped someone'

Every Netflix subscriber is an example of 'DRM stopping someone'

Every iTunes film purchase is an example of 'DRM stopping someone'

... because, as you point out 'nobody would pay for music' - or any other form of content, if they didn't have to.

So, DRM puts the 'Supply and Demand' equilibrium up pretty high for most video.

Studios can still make money 'the old way' using our current DRM systems.

In music, for reasons of how it's consumed etc., the 'old ways' are destroyed, so they've had to adjust to a new equilibrium.

It's a really difficult argument to have with HNers, I'm more interested in what kind of logic is going on in their minds.

If movie studios and netflixed released their mp4s, with no DRM or copyright protections, then everyone, including my non-tech savvy mother would just go to the widely available resources found on Google, and just 'watch it for free'.

Obviously this would wipe out film production.

If we want films, which are expensive to make, we have to pay for them, one way or another. There is no way around it.
A good time to suggest everyone here commit to using FireFox and DuckDuckGo. You can manage, even with any initial bumps. It’s ok.
I'm rooting for Dan Smith! Car2Go should be liable for their customers repeatedly using his space to store their car AND for not immediately removing the vehicle upon request - Car2Go said Dan should wait for someone to rent it!

Unacceptable business practice, but unclear if Smith's gambit will actually work in getting paid.

I assume Car2Go will fight this legal battle vigorously lest the public starts 'impounding' their illegally parked cars in this way more often.
Another theory is complex life exists because of viruses, and their ability survive and modify genetic material.
I haven’t watched any of it, didn’t pay much attention in college and get freaked out when I don’t understand things the first time, so take this all with a grain of salt, but I would say try watching parts and then find a reason/ way to use the individual concepts.
If a person can't figure out how to use google to find out what they need to know and they don't have the social capacity to ask their fellow classmates then I don't ever want to work with that individual, and neither does anyone else.

For SpaceX, yes, obviously.

For Hyperloop, he did too. And Hyperloop involve battery powered electric vehicles, tunnels and solar panels (on top). So indirectly, there is a connection.

He also made clear that colonizing Mars, or at least getting partway through is one of his life goals, if not his life goal.

There is definitely a connection. But following the progression, it seems like Mars isn't the reason he started these companies, but "how can I make it useful on Mars" is definitely a consideration.

It'd be lovely if I could get the speed of Firefox Quantum while still being able to put the damn tabs and address bar wherever I want them.
My understanding is that this change in the extensions API will land in Chromium first, and so any browser depending on the extension mechanism of Chromium will be impacted, like Opera and Vivaldi. If I'm not guessing wrong, Opera and Vivaldi are compatible with Chrome extensions because they use the extension mechanism of Chromium, so they'll need additional maintenance burden to keep the `webRequest` API working.
> This is overly optimistic. He is losing half his salary, with a wife and a daughter to feed.

This is false, or at least a misrepresentation of the situation. He has already lost his salary. And now he is unwilling to work in a job that pays half of his previous salary. He is strictly better off financially with the $13/hr job than he is now, and he will have a job to give himself a sense of purpose (which seems to be his biggest issue) on top of that. I still do not see any barrier preventing him from taking such an opportunity.

> 1. https://www.performcarenj.org/pdf/families/dd-residency-fact.... This is proof of residency for NJ to have a NJ specific residency.

But crucially this does not require any duration of residency. Literally all that's necessary is a NJ diver's license. He doesn't need to live for years in NJ to get benefits, he just needs to stand in line at the DMV after moving there.

> https://www.dshs.wa.gov/esa/eligibility-z-manual-ea-z/reside...

From this page:

An individual determine is a resident if he/she meets the following conditions:

* Is living in Washington; and

* Is not receiving comparable assistance form another state or tribe;

* Intends to remain in the state permanently or indefinitely; or

* Entered the state looking for a job or a job commitment.

If he moves to Washington State for a job, then he becomes a resident and is eligible for benefits.

> https://www.dhs.state.mn.us/main/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DYNAM.... Minnesota requires 30 days explicitly.

30 days is hardly prohibitive.

You have still failed to provide evidence to back up the claim that his daughter's condition is preventing him from moving due to loss of benefits (at least, not for any loss of benefits longer than 30 days). In fact, your sources show that if he moves to another state for a job then he will be able to get benefits either immediately or within a month. If anything you're disproving the claim that loss of benefits are preventing him from moving.
Companies don’t care about this. They just need some arbitrary scale (5 stars, 10 point rating) and anything less than perfect is an excuse to put someone on notice. Always handy to point to when needing an excuse to trim numbers or not increase benefits. And since nobody is perfect, you can find some arbitrary cutoff that lots of people will be below (“sorry you’re averaging 4.4 stars, we can’t give EVERYONE bonuses now can we”) there’s always room for excuses.
Investor Funnels for Series As
Might be a silly question, but is the block list per extension or is it a global block list? Ie, if each extension can have 30k rules, and the current block list requires 70k rules, could there be 3 extensions, 2 with 30k rules and 1 with 10k rules? This would surely be an inconvenience, just wondering

Do these changes make Google less stagnant, as they disempower the discerning user who wants at least some control over their browsing experience?

Google's new security flaw is that they are going to moderate ad-blocking, become responsible for it, and then depend on their inhuman machine to ignore all of your complaints. No different to how you can't find a human connect when you get screwed out of Gmail or Google Wallet because of their mathematics.

As a total thought experiment on where I'm coming from with this: in Star Trek TNG, Data (the Android) spends seven years with us exploring the human equation. Strip out the narrative imbalance and do you think the current automation of help and support is anywhere near aligned to the ideals of that 30 year old TV show that didn't know better? Or is the algorithm an overfitting to Google's commercial needs?

It's tangential to this thread but for some reason it felt worth writing out.
I really can’t believe how many people on here take Musk seriously. Tesla is going bankrupt, there’s no evidence that SpaceX is profitable nor that reusable rockets will help in this regard and the Boring Co is a less funny take on Lyle Lanley (they have zero engineering insight as far as I can see).
