What if that file could be transparently uploaded to an s3/gcp bucket and the URL placed in the email? Better or worse?

I believe the main reason that there is a 10mbit limit is that if it's much higher then you have two consequences:

1) Mail in transit (and queue buffers) are going to be very heavy

2) Inbound mail being very large could cause you to exceed your storage limit and hamper the deliverability.

Point 2 is mostly mitigated now with the advent of cheap as chips storage, but point 1 is going to hurt mail relays.

> suicide is a separate topic because it's a mental illness

DanBC replied succinctly. I can't add to it.

I'm getting badly uptight because ISTM you may have defined suicide into something you are morally required to intervene in, and prevent. From your orig post: "...given support to help enable them to grow into better people..."

I'm afraid of people who may try to help me and make things worse. See my post about how helpful were towards gays not too long ago.

Suicide has been attractive to me and is becoming attractive again. I DO NOT WANT any fucker trying to affect my choices 'for the better'. I'm afraid that may be you. I'm afraid you may have fallen exactly into the trap of defining 'better' outcomes in a way that disrespects the choices of others.

From my fear, and partly my perceived presumption on your part but mostly from fear, comes anger borne not of aggression but defensiveness, hence the tone of my reply. In short, you scared me.

I'm not mentally well right now (perhaps you'd care to look back over some of my prior posts) and I misjudge things, so please understand I'm struggling with what I may have mis-perceived in your words. You may not be saying at all what I read.

That does not happen because you searched for Firefox. A dismissible popup suggesting you 'Switch to Chrome' appears if using IE to search with Google regardless of your search term.

It seems Microsoft is bit more egregious in Bing. If you search for Chrome or Firefox you get "Promoted by Microsoft - Microsoft Edge is the recommended browser for Windows 10 and it’s already installed on your PC."
Considering Edge is just an evolved Trident engine, open sourcing it would probably be very difficult. A 24-year-old proprietary software project may have commercially licensed parts inside it that aren't subject to open sourcing; MS has certainly made such deals in the past like the ZIP support in Windows Explorer being licensed from a third party.
My primary concern is for immersive VR media on our Go and Quest platforms, which use Snapdragon 821 and 835 SoC, respectively. The 821 doesn’t support 10 bit on anything, and the 835 only supports it on h265. Software decoding a 4k60 video on mobile isn’t an option, and you can see every bit transition with dark adapted eyes in a vr headset, so getting full 8 bit range is pretty valuable.
‘collect as much info as they are able to, put it in JSON and ship it to some server.‘ is different from your IP address being known to that server.
Yeah, I've continued to use eBay to make some of the higher ticket purchases I used to make on Amazon. If you want to buy something quality used, it's hard to find an alternative, and frankly, buying something that's high quality and used is one of the best ways to make a purchase (IE instruments, clothing).

Ebay's been good to me for nigh on 20 years, and it's not because everything is perfect quality. It's rather that, unlike Amazon, they don't try to hide and commingle differing quality items. Counterfeiting is still a problem, but giving negative feedback is still possible and it seems still encouraged in cases where it's warranted, and that makes the marketplace dynamics actually even out at scale. This is in stark comparison to Amazon, and it makes me trust eBay aggregate feedback scores much more on the whole.

I'll use Amazon for low-risk purchases, but otherwise, I'll find another retailer these days. The risk of something going awry and receiving poor after purchase support is too high.

Art and music aren't produced with the intention of fostering addictions in people. They don't cause death and suffering simply by being sold, or even being abused (how would one abuse art or music?).

So no, that's not my logic at all. There was already a need for art and music. There wasn't already a need for Coca Cola and Lucky Strikes.

IMO it makes most sense to use NN for the evaluation layer. Human heuristics are unlikely to be as well tuned as a NN, and may encode unknown biases. A NN can cover the search space more dispassionately and discover relationships that don't occur to humans, and with a delicate relative balance of tradeoffs.

The evaluation of a position is to guess if it is more likely to lead to a final game outcome. The other way to determine this is to look further ahead, deeper into the search tree. The latter has significantly more information content than a heuristic. IMO it would almost certainly be a poor tradeoff of compute; the heuristic needs to be run over each possible move at each level of the search tree, so halving the cost of your heuristic is like doubling the amount of compute you use for tree evaluation. And you're talking about running heuristics over millions of boards. That's a lot of compute to leave on the table.

And I think NN are very good for boiling down large computations into a few serial matrix operations, efficiently packing in dependencies and associations. I don't think a rule-based heuristic could compete, algorithmically.

Don't forget that one of the great mysteries of human intelligence is that it works as well as it does while using neurons that operate incredibly slowly by comparison to digital computation. The can do it because NN bake in cached knowledge that permits good decisions to be made on very little data. Exactly what you want for evaluation.

Not sure if Entreprise installs will let you modify anything of Chrome "advanced" settings though.
I don’t think the article is about “serverless” - it’s more about various BPM, RPA and similar tools and technologies that tend to popup with snake oil type marketing every a couple of years.

Also serverless is arguable more complex for a business person/analyst to grasp than just telling a developer to create something they imagined.
Happy Firefox user here with uBlock Origin, CSS Exfil protection, ClearURLS, HTTPS Everywhere all installed and working nicely

(bar the addons hickup which meant it was off for a day, but that was no issue)
There was a time i couldn't imagine moving away from chromium... all the FF people shout about features, I care not, I want a browser that is good at the fundamentals, has a non intrusive UI and allows me to block ads, that wasn't FF, i should know I've submitted my fair pile of FF bugs, and stumbled across a decent amount of decade old ones.

However these days I find myself using FF more and more for those very reasons, where chromium/chrome is failing more and more. The other side of this is of course that FF has been improving massively in recent years.

There is no best, browsers are ridiculously complicated and hard, but i suppose there are phases, if chromium team loose sight of how non-obscure the requirement to block ads easily is to all users today, this may be the start of a different phase.

I don't accept that sodas are either. I think they're a honest product. They aren't healthy, but they don't pretend to be. They say very clearly what they contain and they're marketed as a treat. They are optimised to be as delicious as possible I'm sure, but singers also optimise their songs to be as pleasing as possible so you'll buy their next album.
I should add that it's a really interesting domain to work in. There is just so much to achieve there and so many of the players are focusing on the wrong things that there are really big chances.

I still have regrets that I left because it was intellectually stimulating. It's just impossible* to work in a startup culture whilst being a GOOD parent to young children.

* When you can't stay late when needed and your colleagues are picking up the slack it feels like sh!t and makes you feel like a massive shit; especially when said colleagues are amazing about it.
Just to put that in perspective the snippet of Romeo and Juliet where it truncates is a bit over halfway through the play.

Most machine-learning models and AI's are "codeless software" as well, in a very real sense (while the architectures/abstract models that specify their parameterizations and the format of their inputs and outputs may be a sort of code, the estimated/"learned" parameters themselves are not!) I generally assume that they too are doomed to fail, and for the very same reasons.
I love firefox, but it's still leagues behind chrome -- even with the new engine. Especially when used with "enterprise" tools, like Jira.

I keep hoping for the day I can switch and not lose productivity.
Yes. Though think bigger.

>Basically, separate law enforcement and social work. And enforce strict data souvereignity.

This is how things used to be in decades past. The police did police things and social workers did social work things and there was no way in hell the police were reading the social workers notes without a warrant and even then there's a chance that would still be protected.
> that the competitors are (and have been) also free

IE was free when Netscape Navigator was a paid product.

Chrome was free when Opera was a paid product.
Serverless is to sysadmins what codeless is to web developers (front and / or back).

Or serverless is to those same web developers what codeless is to business people.

Edit: also, this is an analogy
At a certain point it’s impossible to take this as a coincidence.
Headline is wrong. Firefox has ad blocking.
I really hope FF does not follow suit.
Firefox made a lot of strategic error mostly because they were arrogant. Not implementing the Filesystem API is one of many. The world will simply move on without you. It’s very unfortunate how bad decisions screwed up the web.

What exactly are you missing from Firefox?
Halfway down a person actually knowledgable about the system raises the legitimate concern that there are many non-consensual interventions, which is bad because they work way worse than the consensual ones.

A hypothesis could be that the predictions of an impressive sounding system means people are less concerned about getting consent.

This hypothesis is completely absent from the text, and instead it is just the textual equivalent of a video with menacing music aling pictures of the text "Government" and clips of police brutality.

Honestly I wonder if the author of the piece even accept that the government keeps a record of who has citizenship.

Ask HN: Why do you use Chrome?
In an age where Google is an archenemy of privacy and security and spies and tracks you on everything you do, is there a reason to use Chrome?

I use Waterfox, the even-more analytics stripped down version of Firefox. It's more than fast enough to my eyes, and I know I'm helping "free" the world from a Google tyrany by using it. I also have the AdNauseam plugin, which Chrome deleted from its store very conveniently.

I can make a hundred arguments why I despise Google, but I want to hear yours on why to use it. Any other reason than for web dev?
Yes, customisation of "codeless" platforms is typically narrow. You can easily customise the parts the developer anticipated that users would want to customise. When you need something else, customisation is limited and painful.
We don’t need to worry about web monoculture. Chrome is open source after all.

Obviously sarcasm on my part, but I see this terrible (and false) argument every time someone complains about the Chrome market share near-monopoly.

You’d think people would know better by now.

Edit: sarcasm made clearer.

>IPSec (IKEv2)/strongSwan: lots of brittle config that's different for each OS, NAT busting setup is very manual and involves updating the central server and starting all the others in the correct order, not great at reconnecting after network downtime, had to be manually restarted often

I don't follow, NAT traversal is integral to IKEv2 and pretty much "just works" [1]. Reconnecting after network downtime is not an issue either, with either on demand connection setup (auto=add) or pretty standard ifupdown scripts/networkmanager. I don't believe I had to restart my strongswan daemons in the past few months either...

I also disagree that config is 'brittle'. Quite to the contrary, I think strongswan with its exhaustive documentation and a complete test suite which provides configuration for every host in every scenario in the test suite is a great accomplishment and an incredibly useful resource [example: 2].

I think wireguard has a great niche to fill as OpenVPN replacement (which has a lot of issues) but some of its supposed benefits over ipsec are a bit overblown and a confluence of 'I couldn't be bothered to read the manual', failure to understand a difference between host-based and policy-based routing [3] and a pinch of hype-driven development.

It all depends on whether it is a structural thing that is established during fetal development, which can not be fixed post birth, or whether it is part of the brains's development post birth.

There is a shit ton of brain development post birth -- not structural (the growth of the initial neurons) but in weeding out pathways and reinforcing certain pathways. A lot of it is based on complex feedback between activity, neurochemical releases and receptors. All of that is fair game to change post birth.

Given that autism (like many other psychology labels) is a label for a diverse group of disorders which we can not fully tease apart accurately at this stage, it is likely true that some forms of autism can be treated post-birth, but others will not be.
You might recoup more in productivity from less surfing of sites like hn than the minutiae of gains from chromium to Firefox. Hard to believe chrome in 2019 can give discernible amounts of productivity gain over Firefox, unless it were a very very specific extension exclusive to chrome.

AWK was the first "scripting" language to implement associative arrays, which they claim they took from SNOBOL4.

Since then, perl and php have also implemented associative arrays. All three can loop over the text index of such an array and produce the original value, which a (bijective) hash cannot do.
You make a good point on the problems associated with a two party system. Most issues in the world are not binary but unfortunately the world seems to simplify things to either you with us or against us. No one is better for it. Seems mainland Europe is slightly different. They seems to have a few large parties and the governments tend to be coalitions. So the big parties win about 30% of the vote. I can't speak for how effective it is but it feels right to me. As humans surely there isn't just two types of us.
Probably chrome looks better and “feels smoother” .. haha
Curious - what does "GP" stand for in this context?
Use this as a permanent VPN on my phone to my home. It only forwards requests in the 192.168.1.0/24 range and that includes all DNS requests that go to my pihole. All regular traffic is unaffected as my upload at home is slower than my 4G download speed and I don't want to limit it.

Can recommend this setup to everyone, especially on devices with spotty connections like a phone.

I can agree with the author's point that when technology like Google's AMP incentivizes the wrong things by promoting what's quick over what's slow/accurate. I can agree with many of the author's criticisms of AMP.

But I don't quite understand the author's concern about Google's push for AMP being a "monopolistic land grab" at the same time as the author's disgust that Google doesn't censor disreputable websites.

AMP is a technical solution to require technically-not-terrible sites; a reputability service is also a technical solution, but for a non-technical problem of terrible sites. Why is "cake or death" terrible for the former but not the latter? Especially since it seems like it'd be really hard to have a neutral reliability check that everyone could trust.

I feel there's a tension between "decentralised and open", and "centralised and curated". (You could have a walled garden as part of a larger decentralised web without needing control over others, though).

Just for a laugh I clicked the button, and the post is now shared on my Google+ page. Google+ is not as dead as has been reported.
I was under the impression that the ability to observe all requests was the whole problem that made the webrequest api dangerous. Now they're keeping that but eliminating the blocking features only? What?
Blocking ads goes against Googles main revenue stream, but giving people the option to block ads follows directly with Mozilla's mission. I don't think there's any danger they follow Chrome in this.
> The first part, what humans want, is a profoundly complex anti-inductive domain that every human in history has spent their whole lives trying to understand, failing to but scratch the surface.

Yes, this! It's the inquiry into the way the data flows, what the application should do, and how to handle edge cases that is difficult for a lot of business applications. To say nothing of getting various stakeholders to agree. Code isn't fluid, it's calcified business process. That calcification requires regimented thought that developers can bring to the table (others can too, but I've seen it far more often with developers).

That's not to say that there aren't more and more domains that will be codeless. As another commenter says, if you can stay in a box, a codeless solution like Wix or wordpress.com can solve your problems quite well. But as soon as you step out...

Another issue that is never brought up is lifecycle and change management. This is a complex topic that developers spend a lot of time thinking about. Some codeless solutions version control behind the scenes, but testing and regressions are not really part of what the end user thinks about. Again, this is a question of maintainability and scale. Small companies may not need the overhead. Until they grow and suddenly they do.
What I don't like is when people point to this as a reason why all religion is bad. These are con artists, plain and simple.
