Well, now is as good a time as any to switch back to Firefox. They've managed to come out of a long stretch of mismanagement, technical debt and security issues to a much better place.
Epic. Thanks so much for sharing. I immediately wondered if I could do some caniuse.com magic to answer my own question.
Well the point was that an utter absence of privacy, a world where privacy was illegal, even, would theoretically catch A LOT of bad people, but the losses far, FAR outweigh the gains -- think of what living in a fearful society would be like.

Net neutrality and digital privacy aren't remotely dead, for one thing because we don't live in a Universal Jurisdiction. The EFF exists for a reason and they're not trying to revive a corpse; they're trying to bring a slightly unhealthy body back to full strength.

It's not hard to imagine how this whole thing could go incredibly awry, and lead to abuses of power previously seen only in dystopian fiction.
It might vary by chain, but everywhere I'm familiar with you're not supposed to accuse people of stealing, which has the same effect, perhaps for different reasons.
I would also expect that if you immediately reported that someone tailgated to security, that it is no longer a fire-able offence.
It genuinely surprises me that you expect more from a ride than getting there.
You wouldn't know.

> An underground autonomous system which otherwise would have cost hundreds of millions for $50 million risk free is a perfect win-win for Boring and Vegas.

How do you think the boring company is going to be able to achieve these cost savings? If this system is otherwise going to cost hundreds of millions how the hell is the boring company going to achieve orders of magnitudes improvement?
>If they were living in a good economy then there wouldn’t be 1,000,000 student loans going into default every year.

Why? Going to university doesn't guarantee success. They clearly made a bad decision when they took those student loans. In a country where education is subsidized many of them might not have been able to go to university at all.
Lamda school picks winners from the outset. Public education doesn't get that option.
I thought the main job of the DoE was to secure nukes. I suppose that is a pretty good thing.
Where's the lie in there?

You link to your own complaints about cryptosystem choices but you'll have to provide the actual "lies" if you want that assertion that hold.
Hmm. My situation might have a weird circumstance as well: I installed a new version of manjaro, which ships a profile by default with manjaro homepage etc. bookmarked. I signed into sync; normal one pulled down. The manjaro one is what got mysteriously applied. Old profile gone. I can only imagine what would be causing it; don't remember changing anything whatsoever. Did you by any chance sign in on a new computer before it happened? My windows was the one that went wonky; linux was the newly signed in. Glad to hear it's not just me, though. I was to the point of thinking a rabid script went crazy and deleted my profile.
It's mostly a thing for companies that deploy Chrome in their images and want to retain control over it (group policies). It's not for your common end user.
If that happens then ad blockers will just also change the user agent to say chrome.
The fortune 50 company I work for sends out what I must consider the stupidest phishing test emails I've seen. They are blatantly simplistic and transparent.

I have had this fantasy of trying to see if I could trick the IT people who send them with a phishing attempt. It would involve perhaps reporting that my virus scanner had reported something suspicious in an email to get them to open something.

Or maybe register mimecastprotection.com, then send out a fake email to IT as if it was a big marketing announcement from Mimecast that "We've changed our name! We are now Mimecast Protection as part of our commitment to serving you!"

My theory is that a really well crafted phishing email is going to be very hard to avoid.
We just implemented the Phishhook Outlook addon. I'm sure our Security team will love getting 9000 emails a day to sort through (3 per day per employee).

I see a lot of comments saying to switch to Firefox, or people saying they're
already using Firefox. This is fine, but I don't think people should be totally
comfortable with this. Switching to the one other choice still leaves us in
danger of the whole web being controlled by a few programs. We should encourage
other browser projects as well. I've seen some cool browser projects, but mostly
they use webkit still. I'm not sure what you call that part. The core maybe.
We need more browser cores. I think this[1] is one, I encourage people to share
more that they know of.

Former Session Buddy user. I'm using Session Sync and it's pretty neat. I think Session Buddy UI is still better and Session Sync needs some improvements (such as selecting multiple tabs in a session simultaneously). However, once I got used to it, I didn't miss it at all.

In addition, I like the integration with Firefox Bookmarks. It creates a folder "Session Sync" and stores sessions as sub-folders. So, if anything happens, I still have them as simple, curated bookmarks.
> sure, but what technology could be applied in this case?

A big problem with tunnels has traditionally been land rights (less so than with highways/but still a problem). If your tunneling costs are 10-100x lower, suddenly landowners who would otherwise try to extract exorbitant prices have a lot less leverage because you have more freedom in where you build the tunnels and entry/exit points.
I appreciate your experience, but you may have also noticed that there's a number of sibling comments from developers whose customers definitely did want a Ctrl-F type search, and not some near-AI match-what-I-really-meant thing. I've certainly worked in vertical markets where that's what the customer actually wanted.

I think it more goes back to the real most important lesson of programming - you must know your customer and their needs first. If a google-like experience is what your customers demand, then you better understand all of that stuff and build it. If they just want to search for names and ticket numbers, any more advanced intelligence is a waste of time that could have been used to build other features that the customer actually wants.
I just switched to Firefox today after a few years hiatus, and I agree that it is hugely improved, and rendering speed is at least on part with Chrome if not faster. They've done a great job with it, and the dev tools seem greatly improved in the developer edition as well.

The issue I have with firefox on both Linux and Windows is not speed, but stability. I think it's the process model. Windows freeze if I open too many tabs, and is an issue I've not really had much with Chrome (though it had its own issues). I've noticed it a few times today as well. I wonder if that's the speed issues people are describing?

With that said, removal of ad blocking is a deal breaker for me and Chrome will no longer be my default browser.
What? About 100 people die from road vehicles per day in the US, not 3000.
Whether you want it to happen or not is inconsequential, it's going to happen.
it wasn't op's job to examine it

Your brand of narrow minded thinking is... Well? Let's just call it pathetic.

A brain dead employee, following the letter of the law, by the book, to the bitter end, is, by many orders of magnitude, a greater liability than one that assesses risk and adopts personal responsibility to further investigate a hazard, before taking additional action.

Let's say you have an employee, and they smell smoke, but they aren't the fire warden so they ignore it. Not their responsibility. Instead, they go on lunch break. The fire spreads. The building burns to the ground. Would you be happy that they stayed in their little box, kept their head down, and avoided engaging with a potential hazard?

Before you answer, I bet you're already locked and loaded to distinguish "fire" as a completely different class of circumstances. And you know what?

You'll be completely fucking wrong about that, no matter how you try to twist words and wriggle out of the truth.
I think you have a misunderstanding of how the protocol works. At no point do your assets "go into the relay." The relay only takes your signed orders (not the actual assets), and the tokens literally do not leave your wallet until the time the trade is executed. No trades can be executed unless they have a signature generated by your private key.
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything, my intention was to give you the benefit of the doubt that you understand all the issues here; you sound like you know what you’re talking about with SVG & ray marching.

This distinction is very much practical and not academic. SVG exists for a reason. I use (and write) SVG renderers in practice precisely for their resolution-independent, rasterize-on-demand functionality.

> Just set the canvas size to whatever you want.

This is missing the point that an SVG output can rasterize to multiple different resolutions, when it’s viewed, where a ray-marching output is baked at one size.

> If the output is the screen, which is probably would be 99.9% of the time

I would counter with most SVG on the web today is served as files, and a major use case of Zdog would be creating those files, not necessarily including Zdog in the js and rendering everything from scratch at display time. Rendering to files allows Zdog output to work on all browsers that support SVG, which from the comments appears to be more browsers than Zdog can run on.

I was thinking specifically of the case where I render files in Zdog and save them for display & print later. It’s restrictive to assume that you’re rendering & rasterizing at the same time, one of the benefits of rendering to SVG is being able to separate rendering from rasterizing.

That part of the discussion doesn’t change the fact that Zdog renders to SVG and ray marching renders to pixels, so they aren’t compatible rendering techniques unless you change Zdog to only rasterize it’s output and disable SVG.
I'm not sure this analogy works, because internet explorer was pure garbage. It was worse than garbage, it was like the nasty water left over at the top of the industrial drain, and by just looking at it you risk losing your eye sight. IE was more ripe for disruption like few products ever are, it was so ripe we got not one, but two competitors (chrome)!

Pound for pound, chrome is ridiculously far ahead of internet explorer mid-2000's. IDK what the hell someone is going to have to do to upend chrome and its rendering components but is going to have to be great.
So they are going to ask their classmates who are also college students without any real world work experience about which tools they should learn? If they are just going to teach themselves bad habits from Googling, what’s the use of college?

How many example websites are out there about how to use sql in programs have:

sql = “select * from User where firstname = ‘“ + firstname + “‘“;

And it was just posted today about people committing their AWS credentials. Mostly because every AWS example has

client = S3Client(secretkey,accesskey,”us-east-1”)
I don't know about smoking being cool (I'm very biased against smoking, because my entire family smoked and I have asthma), but I do know that people smoked hundreds of years before advertisements were a thing. I've also always thought that jewelry was silly and pointlessly expensive, but I do know that people were affected by advertisement.
>What if schools teach other misconceptions that get corrected in college. Like brontosauruses are a thing, or T-Rex's hunt prey.

I had no idea there was a debate on the topic of T-Rex hunting. Here's an interesting Nature article that suggests that the T-Rex did hunt live prey: https://www.nature.com/news/tyrannosaurus-rex-hunted-for-liv...
Money (and hence economic size) is an arbitrary measure of "value" that does not necessarily correlate with energy consumption.
My issue with Firefox is essentially one bug where they refuse to fix. In private mode, previously closed tabs are, for some reasons, restorable. This doesn't happen for Safari or Chrome.
A map on my phone might be a good start.

He would be familiar with maps so that would be something we could build off of.

Is this the same Waterfox that was a Firefox build for 64-bit Windows? Is it moving towards privacy now that Firefox is 64-bit on Windows, or do the projects just share (an obvious) name?
That's what Apple did by forking KHTML and starting the Webkit project. KHTML is still maintained and both KHTML and Webkit can be used in KDE.
Sadly it's unmaintained, but since I like it lots more than the alternatives, I'm hoping to fork it and pick up development in my free time.
I don’t get it, the concern is that Firefox sends telemetry to Mozilla? Can’t you turn that off?
And this is the problem with junior developers. We are not paid to “write software” we are paid to solve business problems. Any software that I can avoid writing by using an off the shelf solution and let other people do the “undifferentiated heavy lifting” is a win.

I find this sort of thing really destresses me. That may sound stupid, but stressfull is when your managers asks 90%, or 110%, 120%. You know, vaguely realistic. Just a tiny bit less, or more than you can realistically do. So that it really matters how you feel. An unpredictable illness (you or kids, or ...) can easily make the difference between delivering or failing. You start worrying if your breaks are too long.

When your manager asks 200%, there's zero stress. It's like someone pointing a gun at you demanding you lasso the moon. It's funny. Because you see, whether you get shot or not does NOT depend on whether you try. Therefore it's a sunk cost. There's no point worrying about it. In fact, there's very good reasons to be very easy going about it. No point shortening any break.

The same with your manager. He asks the impossible, and of course you won't deliver. So whatever will happen, has already happened. It does NOT depend on your level of effort. Whether you get blamed ... is already determined at that point. Whether you get fired ... is a done deal. No point worrying about it, as the decision is made. Find an online course, or watch some esports on Youtube. Put in the hours, but ...

It's no more worrying than the idea that an asteroid might be (in fact almost certainly is) on a collision course with the earth right now.
Same project. It kept the old extension API from Firefox, this is why I use it.
Unless they backfill it... I can see Microsoft going all out with Edge Chromium and Brave also trying their best. Both have manpower to try overcome Google's decisions on Chromium with their forks.
I don't doubt the effects I'd advertising. What I wonder is whether advertising affects everyone. Studies can show that it affects people on average, but it doesn't mean it affects everyone.
There are useful secrets like business secrets or planning a surprise party. But you have to carefully protect them anyway. What other behaviors are you thinking of that should be protected against easy searching but which are still publicly visible?
"paying absolutely while collaborating with wikipedia"

Collaborating my ass.

Not to give these guys a pass, at all — this is some seriously skeezy marketing — but I think this underscores a deeper issue of paid accounts on Wikipedia, which is totally a thing as I found out recently. Apparently there people, or maybe a whole ecosystem, who are essentially lobbyists who get paid to edit Wikipedia pages, and that's okay, as long as they mark that they're a paid account, or something.

I guess if you follow Wikipedia's rules for paid accounts, it's okay to update pages in favor of your brand?
Journaling FS only puts metadata and FS commands in log, not structuring the FS itself as an appending log.
> They forwarded from one card to another? AWS charged a closed card and the bank forwarded it?

Yup.

> By the way, if you can't authenticate with Amazon as the rightful owner of that account, it sounds unreasonable for them to comply to a stranger asking them to simply remove a credit card number of some account.

I disagree. If I can provide a full credit card number, they should be able to remove it from all accounts. Either the card is compromised, or I'm telling the truth.
No. It is just an effect of the sampling rate of the film, it is totally unrelated to the brain. The other effects in the article have similar explanations.

If you think that programming is “easy” for everyone to learn from a book, you’re so far out of touch I don’t know where to start.

Yes most graduation students are going to be programming and not “inverting binary search trees”.
And you know where you can? Warez sites. For all the garbage people throw at there users, it doesn't help. Last I checked, a cheap chinese HDMI splitter can strip the protection, though I heard murmurs about a newer version which stopped that? Anyway, I almost (almost) understand on software with the critical one-month-after-release window, but it doesn't help video one whit. I wish they would just stop.

Maybe some one with more industry knowledge can enlighten me as to why they do it? Is it just to discourage the average person? Terrarium TV, Kodi, etc. have made it idiot-proof.
> Ok, then it could be played a little harder, for example by introducing a (small) performance penality for visitors that use chrome.

Good luck convincing your product owner of the necessity of that change. Most large enterprises won't do something like this.
How many tabs do you consider to be too many tabs? Most of the time I open up to 10 tabs, and Firefox is performing fine. But I have also seen people opening 40 tabs.
AFAIK the main selling point is xul (legacy) extension support.
Nice job! What did you use to make it?
You mean the same John Clarke whose name is in the URL at the bottom of the video? Who would have guessed!

Let me share a comedy tip with you. This video is funny even if you already know the joke - I crack up every time I see it - but it's even more fun to watch it for the first time not knowing that it is satire.

Don't worry, everyone will figure it out halfway through...
They're just not the same. I need total isolation, and again the UI experience leaves a lot to be desired.
So at 22 years old how many people do you think “are smart enough” to know what the industry requires?
I didn't report it as stolen. But they did forward the charges. But yeah, I've just finished closing my credit card completely. It's unreasonable that I've been disputing the same charge from AWS for almost a year, and now they have decided to side with Amazon.
If there is a response at the terminal which makes it obvious that the pass is valid, and the action is also logged, I would say it has meaning.
> It also seems to get stuck resolving DNS sometimes, which is probably an artifact of the corporate network, but Chrome doesn't have that problem.

OMG I thought I was the only one running into this exact same problem! This has been a deal killer for me.
One of the things I did with Octal [1] a while back was experiment with different title/subtitle combinations, noting where my app landed in the search results for 'hacker news' for each variation. Then I picked the one that ranked the highest.

Octal for Hacker News

Tech, programming, and startup news

-

Octal - Hacker News

This is a good call out. Nonetheless, it seems to be endemic to older generations.
If you've ever dealt with public transit planning, at least in the US, you'll see that often the budget is 50%+ simply real estate. The way land rights work in the US this actually cuts massive costs out of a project. Its not too dissimilar from how airplane travel beats trains on cost.
If crypto was a fad it would have died long ago. Yet here we are still talking about it with more money and development behind it than ever before.
