‘I cannot believe, today, that the world almost ignored those people and what was happening. How could we have all stood by and have let that happen? They do not owe us anything. We owe them, for what we allowed to happen to them.’ – Carrol Walsh, Liberator

I struggle to not think the same problem is still happening today in society.

The less privilege people by fate become depressed to the point of suicide and society doesn't have the resources to fix them because people don't care. These people will typically be abandoned by their friends or family and because who wants them in their life? God obviously never liked the sick anyway.

Another similar class of people are the ones who end up in prison. Once again fate of being less privileged and when it comes to the necessary variables to not have the bad events occur.

I've read enough on neuro science, determinism and don't believe these misfortunate had any real choice in how their life transpired. People don't want to acknowledge what has already been known hundreds of years ago. The philosophy of determinism and how we're all just products of our birth with every event factoring from the preceding. I hope some day people can acknowledge it and we move forward & towards a modal that doesn't accept everything as punishment & ostracizing towards ignoring the ugliness of reality.
The most astonishing part of your comment is that you remember Epilady :)

Thanks! :-) I'm the author and I have seen my IoT students suffer while learning Arduino programming. So my article was really about the bad C coding in Arduino: pointers, bit-banging, ...

But really... we have suffered with C for so many years, why haven't we moved on to Rust?
No, the equivalent to your example would be "97% of climate scientists believe that climate exists"

It's also not an appeal to authority fallacy to say that the only people who bothered to check something have a certain opinion.

I said Firefox is bad at protecting my privacy. Someone compared Mozilla to Google, so I said that even Google is better. In other words I'm not defending Google, I'm saying Mozilla is even worse. I despise Google, too.

What's your proof that Google gives your data to Facebook? That doesn't sound right. On the other hand, I showed proof that Mozilla gives your personal data (list of URLs you visit, no less!) to a third party.

Just Googled that and the top results where news articles about it with direct links to the video. It was posted by Breitbart which doesn't use YouTube.

None the less, if you search directly on YouTube your suggested terms returns results for the more recent videos about the Indian election but if you search "Google after Trump election" or "Google after US election" the top results are videos discussing the subject you claim is being censored.

If anything you've discovered that YouTube's search algorithm prioritizes recent events over a user's location where as Google seems to take into account the locale the user is searching from to a greater degree over recency.

I'm sure this little trick pulls the wool over a lot of people's eyes who want to believe that there is a YouTube conspiracy against their political ideology.
Yeah, the project is LinuxKit (also by Docker).

https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/blob/master/README.md

It is mostly for cloud systems (last I checked the Alpine distro was a core dependency) and is still a bit raw but a vast improvement compared to what's currently available. Existing solutions like Buildroot/Yocto etc. have a horrendous UX, think editing Makefiles by hand while LinuxKit is Docker-style single yaml defined immutable system + go binary build tool with a unified interface.

There are also stuff like Nix and GUIX but the learning curve is non-negligible and have a lot less money driving the development.
> I never really understood tableu, it just makes fancy graphs from your data doesn't it? What's new about it?

It's really easy for business users to point it at a database and get started on their own, exploring the data. It feels like it has a much lower barrier to entry than many other reporting tools.

And once you win the hearts of executives, that's kind of the end of that discussion. It's a really sticky product.

Microsoft has PowerBI which is already almost magic for many business users with it's ease of connectability with different databases and SaaS services. Transformations, parsing, mixing data from different sources and reporting capabilities are also easy to start with and quite powerful in the right hands. It's not integrated into Excel directly but sits quite well imho in the MS ecosystem.

As long as it's all FOSS, this sounds like an excellent idea. I'd gladly pay for Mozilla to stop being beholden to Google.
Similarly, "sesame street geometry covers of popular songs" doesn't surface Eight Awesome Angles of YouTube, which shows that it, too, is being censored- why don't the media elites want you to know about Jack Black?

And "black man becoming president ceremony" doesn't give any news stories about Obama's election. Ah....the game is afoot.

Or, you know, YouTube search isn't nearly as "fuzzy" as Google Search proper. "Google after the election" and even "the Google leadership meeting which happened after the election" both show the video- even with a nice little embedded thumbnail, on mobile.
No. I'm specifically saying that "numerologists believe in numerology" is equivalent to "climate scientists believe climate exists"
Interesting bio info for Ingalls Jnr, thanks: Fun to see his wry references to the performance issues that dogged Smalltalk and which, I would argue, ultimately prevented it from achieving the far more significant place in programming that its design deserved.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection has a lot of great information on doing the same thing for free using sunlight. Perhaps of most interest is the rather long set of cautions. These would appear to also apply to a commercial lamp also unless it was sufficiently powerful and applied properly.

Sadly the tag line on the web site stating that it only kills 85% of germs seems to suggest that the solution is not particularly effective.

> No network connections to third party hosts as long I haven't explicitly opted in.

I would gladly pay for Firefox if it had an option of radio-silent mode, with detailed list of which hosts it wants to connect to and why.

Some connections are obviously needed (CRL retrieval and such), but there's a LOT of superficial chatter due to options like "Block dangerous and deceptive content" that are on by default and that ultimately leak stuff that I don't it want.
My own eyes disagree. I read a lot of news. I read left wing news like the guardian, I read news that claims to be neutral but isn't like the NYT or BBC, I read right wing news like the Telegraph and Breitbart. I can't honestly say any are more reputable than the others - all of them tend to publish things that I fact check personally and find to be false.

But oddly enough, Google's mobile recommendations for me are utterly dominated by the Guardian. They push Guardian stories on me multiple times per day. Know which site never appears? Breitbart. It's clearly blacklisted.

I don't find them to vary in quality or "hateyness", at least for the British editions. The Guardian hates white men, Breitbart pushes a lot of stories about illegal immigration and variants (e.g. asylum seekers lying about their age and origin). They both have their pet hates and slanted views.

But Google only thinks I should be reading the article that pushes globalism, the EU, unlimited migration, Clinton and social justice politics.

I think there’s a fair number of numerologists who believe that numerology doesn’t work.
I think they'd argue that they have a consistently liberal "bias" in all subjects, it's just they don't map cleanly onto modern left-right politics. For example they favor deregulation and privatization which are traditional "right wing" stances, while also favoring gay marriage and drug legalization which is an issues that has recently been more championed by the left. The Economist would argue that their stance in both issues is "liberal" thus there being no contradiction.
But they fired their CEO, Brendan Eich, founder of Javascript, for donating to a charity they disagreed with (abortion). Given that I hold different political opinions than Mozilla, is Mozilla going to use this money to help or worsen intolerance between citizens?

Same for Wikipedia, who donated hundreds of thousands to feminist organizations to « rewrite Wikipedia ». Do I really want Wikipedia to rewrite history?
Sure, I fully agree here, in general IM can be useful, if used correctly. We were, however, discussing a particular scenario where the choice is between e-mail or waiting for both parties being free for a phone/video call.
People talk about how your data’s perspective is biased, and how algorithms can lead to cyclic effects. Or in what manner does someone exercise racial bias in their data model?
Yup. The more "free" it is the more incentive companies/etc have to start misusing your data/etc. Google is "free". Facebook is "free".

If there's a cost I want to see that passed on to the consumer. Otherwise I can't trust a company, simply put.

I'm using Vim and i3 and not for performance, but simply because they are efficient and more flexible. Together with Vim browser plugins I can do almost everything on my PC without having to use the mouse, and with the right setup this can drastically decrease the input latency.

Are you hoping people don't read the article you linked or do you not understand the approach Mozilla used?

The data is not used to identify the user by building a profile and the source IP is removed on collection. Now of course there's a level of trust required in them doing what they say, but this is nowhere near Google et al's levels of data hoarding and reselling anyway.

Would privacy oriented use pay for anything in the first place? Based on my experience they are quite a tough audience to sell any products. No enterprise sales, and the small privacy oriented userbase usually has less disposable income.

As far as I understood Firefox is already very pro privacy and, unlike some competition, telemetry and others must be explicit opt-ins from the users.

Where the paid offering would shine is the bundled services: password manager, notification center, etc. All those features already there, but having a sustainable business model around them. Though not sure how free offering vs. paid offering can be discriminated so that the latter is attractive.
Older family members of mine, who are conservative, have this knee-jerk response that it's valuable but there's no downside. As they lack critical thinking skills when they are challenged to suggest the value of this data to bad actors they will brush it off with an, "I can't think of any." Then if pushed they will really not be able to think of the possible consequences.

They all have the vote. They believe what they are told by people like them. They're uneducatable. I think they may be more that 13%!

Then they need to stop being predatory and expensive. Here in Indy you basically have Lincoln Tech. Let's take a look at one of their programs:

Want to learn "Welding and Metal Fabrication Technology" Estimated net price: $ 31576.00

Are you kidding me? 31k$ to learn how to weld?!?! Looks like average welder income is $16.09 an hour here in Indy... basically a year's gross salary... except you won't start at $16.09, looks like you'll start at $12 an hour or less.

If we do your profession:

"Diesel and Truck Technology" is $56,253 for a 13 month program

"Diesel and Truck Degree" is $63,473 for a 15 month 'degree'!!!
To be expected. With liberal militants ramping up their activity in the US [1], its important to keep the masses from learning what is going on.

Tech Incubator in Ghana: Why a Successful Silicon Valley Entrepreneur Started It
You are assuming - wrongly - that it is even possible for that not to happen. Companies like Google (and Amazon, and FB, and any company that has any kind of search), need to constantly watch and change their search results to avoid a lot of things popping up on them, avoid them getting gamed. Because a LOT of people on the internet are looking to game their results for commercial advantage. And a lot of governments are looking for certain things to pop up in those algorithms, it's not relevant so let's not go into what exactly.

So search results must be evaluated and changed - by people with personal feelings - and an internal process gets started to change the search results - by people with personal feelings, to correct things.

So there is no need whatsoever for there to be anything underhanded.

I hate how people reason about this. Just because there is no conspiracy things are assumed to be working well and non-politically, perfectly and neutrally enforcing the rules. Well, good luck with that.
I love this. Mulesoft, Tableau -- there's a very clear strategy here for Salesforce. You're running all of your customer-facing operations on Salesforce, so why not also integrate the BI stack into everything?

I've worked with a lot of companies who spend months (if not years) integrating their data into a few disparate systems... The finance team has one system (and underlying data lake), the commerce team another, the marketing team another... If Salesforce thinks they can run the entire underlying data infrastructure in addition to the actual customer-facing functions, then this is a smart play.

> Chrome for browsing (as in Firefox, last time I checked, one tap separates you from losing all open tabs).

I've been using Firefox on Android for a couple of years now and have literally never had that happen, so I'm intrigued now. Are you referring to "Close All Tabs" being next to "Private Browsing" in the dropdown? I can see how that could be fat-fingered but I've always used the icon instead of the dropdown.
If you want to try again, just install the "tabbar" package (in MELPA, and in most Linux distributions too). Like most things with Emacs if it's not built-in there's likely a package for it.

Emacs is kind of like an editor construction kit with a basic sample, and making your own Emacs variant is part of the experience IMHO. It's not to everyone taste of course (and that's ok). If not, there are Emacs distributions like spacemacs but their choices can't fit each person perfectly.
> I just feel it's "my" editor more than any other editor I've ever used.

So true! When I first tried to get into Emacs it was as a somewhat seasoned programmer who wanted to play with a Lisp other than Scheme. I've read the built-in tutorial and almost ran away in horror. I get it - for non-programmer users, yes, it makes sense to try to teach them the usage of an editor. I lost quite a lot of time trying to remember exotic chords like C-u C-x ^ a and so on, but it was ultimately meaningless - not one such shortcut remains in my config.

Emacs is an IDE for Emacs Lisp written in Emacs Lisp (and it's incredibly powerful at that, BTW). In other words, it's a bunch of APIs you can call, and it also gives you the place where you can interactively execute any elisp code and see the effects immediately in the same instance of the editor. It's obvious in hindsight, but I believe I'd get into Emacs much faster if I started with Emacs Lisp manual or maybe "Writing GNU Emacs Extensions" book instead of going through the Emacs manual (huuuuuge!) first and trying to bend my habits to fit the vanilla Emacs.

I think most programmers who wish to switch to Emacs should try to do it the other way: start with learning Elisp syntax and Paredit, then learn about modes, hooks, and key-maps and start hacking your own config. Everything else - buffers, windows, fringes, faces, what-have-you - you'll learn as needed when you need to implement a particular command which deals with them. Pull in a healthy amount of plugins then read their source - or just read the source of Emacs, as you can jump to definition of any function in one click, even if it's written in C - and before long you'll have a comfortable environment to work in, with all the features you learned to love from your previous editor. And that's when the fun part start: exploring Emacs features that you've never seen or heard about, wrapping external tools and streamlining their workflows, exploring the huge pile of add-ons.
