Whatever Mozilla's focus is when you load Firefox you experience the following:

1. On ESR first time it loads two pages load including

https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/60.8.0/firstrun/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/

You then find first party cookies are set by Google Analytics

_ga GA1.2.1671101194.1567114471

_gid GA1.2.377831647.1567114471

In the EU this would breach the ePrivacy Directive - as there is neither consent or information supplied in advance. Privacy is not just about information captured about you, but about privacy of what you have stored on your electronic devices.

Note: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-bl... Myth 2: Analytics cookies are strictly necessary so we do not need consent

2. If you then type "privacy" into the address bar, it loads https://www.google.com/search?q=privacy&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&cl... directing users into the most privacy invasive service on the internet with no advance warning. I now have a wealth of Google cookies from their search domain, but there are also cookies set for DoubleClick and Adservices.

I'm now enrolled into surveillance capitalism and all I did was open Firefox for the first time, type "privacy" and press enter.

Mozilla talk a lot about privacy, but their products and websites don't live up to the privacy standards we need and if anything they're on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to acting on privacy - they still make things worse and not better; although it has to be acknowledged that they have improved a lot with the tracking protection features that have slowly been making their way into Firefox.

This is true now, but was not true many years ago.
In many cities, like DC, there are no Chinese left in Chinatown. They've been replaced with white yuppies. If you want the good deals from the asian or latin market, you go out to the suburbs where the asian and latin populations live.

Which is one of the deeply ironic things about urbanism as a movement. We have made our cities hostile and overly expensive to families. So people of color--who disproportionately are the folks still having kids--are decamping to the suburbs in large numbers: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2015/07/31/black-f... https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/0504_ce... (p. 10). From 1990-2010, the percentage of african americans living in the suburbs increased from under 40% to over 50%. For Hispanics it increased from around 45% to 60%. For whites, by contrast, the percentage living in the suburbs was relatively flat.

My Bangladeshi immigrant family members moved to Queens in the 1990s, and as soon as they got their feet under them economically they moved to Long Island. That’s the story of big cities like NYC: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/18/upshot/how-much-slower-wo.... Large urban counties would be shrinking if it wasn’t for a continuous stream of international migration. (But of course eventually the immigrants become part of the stream of domestic migrants leaving the city.)
Although I love the idea, that price would be a deal breaker for my teams. With G Suite at $12/mo/user it'd be hard to justify something with much less functionality for nearly the same price.
Totally. There are actual people who take Amtrak from Albany at 5AM every day to Manhattan as a commute. Not many, but they exist!
personally i learn a lot thru twitter. u just have to mute and block liberally.
Here's a question - has anybody designed a platform yet that can break down and reconcile Amazon purchases?

I've given up on every single household budgeting / tracking solution due to the huge volume of Amazon orders our family places across regular Amazon, Amazon Fresh, Prime Now, etc.

As a result I wind up with a budget that looks like "50% Amazon" and then everything else.

What I'd really like to know is categorically where is that money to Amazon going as a category.
Likewise plenty of female clothing accentuates physical traits that happen to be fertility proxies.
Beards went in and out of fashion a lot between the Renaissance and WWII.
The iDrive system integrates with Amazon Music too.
Apple does do the same. You're misrepresenting what Apple is doing and what their policy is for devices with third-party repairs present.
I really love the design of your site. Do you use a CSS framework?
I think the problem here is you can't have both things. You can't say "I hate other people and want to live away from them" and at the same time say "...but it's also my right to access all the same stuff people who are willing to live near each other have access too".

So, if you want to be a hermit, go for it, but you shouldn't expect the entire world to conform to your concept of what you like even though it's demonstrably less efficient.
Umm, how does Apple foot the bill in such case? They charge exorbitant amounts to replace (not repair) parts and it was shown time and time again that they try to overcharge by replacing more than just the undamaged parts...
All of the luxury car owners near me are beyond their means, because if they lived here because they’re frugal, they wouldn’t own the car.
Real estate never accounts for itself. It’s too boom/bust.

If anything, suburbia with individual owners and smaller governments are better maintained than urban core.
Only one I disagree with is the fingerprint reader - I actually find that useful. Actually, I'd like to be able to use it more often, but MacOS makes me login with my password when it boots up, and then only let's me use the fingerprint reader for about 50% of privileged operations.
very nice and i wanted to say i appreciate your docs :)

is there a personal “why” story writeup somewhere? i dont have a need for it but i’d love to learn more about what made you work on this
It's been a while since I've lived in a western city - is the bearded hipster still a thing? My gut tells me it must have passed its expiry date by now, but I'm not sure.
No because it is my personal idea.

Obviously this is really only relevant for knowledge workers. There would be of course exceptions for anyone who needs to physically be at their workplace to do their job.

Why would you disclose it? Why would you ever tell an employer what you do on your own time? Work two jobs, three jobs, whatever. You’re not a slave.

You’ve let people bully and manipulate you if you’re worried about what your employer will think.
I’ve had great luck getting screen repairs at iPhone Repair Cafe, above H-Mart on 32nd St. - but I would still categorize it as luck. Nothing beats the scratch/crack resistance of an official Apple part.
I was in the same place for a long time. Recently I found the bar to entry in fuzzing rust code amazingly low. The docs aren't great yet but the tools are super easy to use and well put together. I started with the rust fuzz book: https://rust-fuzz.github.io/book/
A majority of early adopters (of computers and internet connections in general) running some early version of this doesn't seem very relevant. I really don't think this ancient history (browser history does not go back much further than this) is working against Firefox today.
This is still a terrible idea. What happens when the car in front of you has an axel failure?

Oops, my car's instant reaction time is worth nothing because the brakes cannot physically prevent my imminent death.
Considering that it made you do a double-take, and convinced me to click on it, I think it's a perfect name for a project.

In a similar vein, there's a CPU architecture called "brainfuck", oft-stylized as "brainfck". It's a lot* more memorable than something like MAOIIA or something.
Yes, but that has no bearing on the ability of your car to run Android Auto. You cannot run it on the hardware that's built into the car. If you want Android Auto you must project it from a phone or tablet onto the display.
New Windows 10 build released today with new mode to simplify 2-in-1 devices
Not really. Some RAWs from some cameras do compress, but not others. (Not sure why; maybe it's already pre-compressed.) As an example, I tried just compressing a random 30MB RAW from my camera (just a photo of jeans, nothing particularly unusual) with 7z on Ultra compression, and it saved—guess what—a whopping 2.2% of its size.
This right here. If I wanted a driving experience I would have bought a manual transmission Porsche 911 with the shit radio no serious driver bothers to turn on. But we live in modern times and people drive for work/school/errands is mind-numbing enough. Constantly down/up shifting while the engine drones on near idle would be torture.
I contribute to various open source projects in various ways. But that’s really besides the point. I’m not against open source maintainers seeking funding, but in my opinion, this is just a remarkably terrible way of doing that, and undermines the credibility of the work they have done.

I also take issue with your implication that if somebody releases some work for free, that anybody who uses it now owes them something. I’ve released open source work before, and I’ve never even had the audacity to think that the people who use it are somehow indebted to me. Open source projects gaining a community following and then deciding ‘time to pay up’ and changing the license has happened in a few recent high-profile incidents, and it honestly makes reliance on open-source software a risk for anybody doing anything serious with it.
Why single out the Democrats? The people _currently_ running the government are acting as if money grows on trees; just look at the federal deficit over the past couple years.
Can confirm that this works on iOS 12.
The truncated lists are imposed by the car manufacturer, not Apple. I agree it's very annoying.

As a relative old-timer, I agree with your 1st point - when I think of Perl, I think of cryptic, ridiculously terse syntax.

OTOH, "Perl" has existed forever... it would be kind of a shame to lose the name.
Or we can just get over it like git and a number of other things.

I tend to be rather conservative in what I utter myself but I will actively defend the right of projects to use uncommon English words as names.

In fact I think it is a net positive.
Do you think candidates looking for Data Science jobs would be open to performing a half a day exercise?

We optimized these challenges to allow candidates to show as much of their skills they can show in a timed window, without killing their creativity. I'd be curious to know what do think is a good way to interview data scientists.
I think this is a great idea that is two decades too late. Many people say that python killed perl, and that is true for those who disliked perl. However, I think perl 6 killed perl for those who liked it, or could have liked it if they learned it. The knowledge that there was a new version on the way that would have all power of perl, but fixed many of its problems took the wind out of perl's sail, especially once it became clear how different it was going to be. Why invest time into learning perl 5, when perl 6 was just around the corner? How do I defend my use of perl 5 in production, when its own creators have moved on? Best to just concede the battle, and regroup for the war when perl 6 is ready ... and then it never was.

I really think that both languages would be stronger today if Larry Wall et. al. had "marketed" perl 6 as a research sandbox for new ideas for language design, and then depending on where those ideas led them, pronounced it as either a successor to perl, or a new language when it was closer to ready.
Is there a way to migrate Jira to Zepel, otherwise it's a complete non-starter from the get go.
Meetings are not for communication.

They are for making decisions or orientation.

We have plenty of asynchronous ways to communicate with a group.

We also have plenty of ways to set expectations about the agenda and preparation required for a successful meeting.
That seems like an argument for basic income or similar. The topic at hand is raising minimum wage, which could only accelerate job loss due to automation.
Thank you for writing a nice response! I upvoted it, even though I continue to disagree, because it seems like you're being unfairly punished for holding a differing opinion from the majority.

> The issue is: Firefox marketshare is shrinking, in parts because most of their limited resources are allocated a reimplementing features already implemented by chromium instead of focusing their resources on differenciating features, marketing, performance of key parts, etc (but mostly (sadly) marketing)

You make a very valid point here. It matters less what Firefox does when their market share makes Firefox users a negligible part of the userbase of a product.

I would really like to see your idea play out in parallel to what Mozilla is currently doing. You're right that neither of us have a whole lot of data (especially with regards to the economical part), so it would be very cool to analyze the two comparatively to see which way produces a better browser (and a better Web).

Ultimately, however, I would like for the Web to better respect user privacy, be more performant, and be interoperable across every kind of device and platform. With very few vendors controlling the whole thing, it's much easier for them to make decisions that don't benefit the user, and then not allow users to have anywhere to go. Again, I don't know how hard it would be for Mozilla to "swim upstream" with changes they don't like in Chromium; a soft fork might turn harder and harder the more there is for Mozilla to cancel out. I guess the existence of Ungoogled Chromium proves that it's at least somewhat possible to retrofit Chromium into something better for the web. Having the weight of Mozilla behind a project like that would surely be a good thing (but would it be better than that same energy poured into a completely separate browser? That's the question).

Thank you again for your perspective. Have you tried writing a short and clear proposal to the mailing list mentioned and seeing what you get back?
The Code component seems like a catch all. If it were to support actual AST, surely

<Code>const a = 3</Code>

Would have looked something like:

<Assign>
<Lhs constant><Id>a</Id></Lhs>
<Rhs><Literal>3</Literal></Rhs>
</Assign>

> We can always travel more miles at higher speeds to reach the same stuff—family, friends, jobs, dining, shopping—if technology and cheap energy enable us to keep spreading out. Heck, some of us might commute to the moon if we could.

This is where the argument unravels for me. Mobility is obviously preferable to immobility, and family is a great example as to why! It's very rare to have your entire extended family in one city. The ability to keep in contact with people who are far away is an obvious good.

Also, I'm not sure about commuting to the moon (although if it was fast enough, why not?), but it would be cool to visit. The increased ability to travel broadens people's perspectives.

I don't understand why this is the fight they want to have.
They're both miles ahead of what you get from Tesla.
Just because it's not easily enforceable doesn't mean shops will accept knowingly breaking their terms with Apple.

And, as mentioned in a sibling comment, there are ways to do it, like an auditor posing as a customer, or simply compelling them to say under oath if they are doing this or not (in which case the situation goes from breach of contract to lying under oath).
Agreed. I'm happy that my Tesla doesn't have CarPlay. I don't need my messages showing up on screen or constantly being read to me, I use driving time to decompress after a day of being social with my coworkers.
My "this is what I'd do if I was super rich" fantasy isn't a ferrari or a rolls royce. It's having a driver. I find car ownership and driving stressful.
It doesn't have to be a conspiracy. Just an annoyingly prevalent viewpoint among journalists. (See also: referring to things happening in specific locations Nigeria, Sudan, DRC, etc. as happening in "Africa".)
It isn't a personal attack to say that all Trump supporters have embraced the label of racism? BS! (It's also inaccurate.)
> No Apple CarPlay (or Android Auto) at all. Once I’d driven a car with CarPlay, you didn’t want to drive a car without it.

First, you have a 2015 car, which means it was built in 2014, Apple Carplay was released in 2014.

Secondly - I disagree about CarPlay being superior, I like the new BMW iDrive much more than carplay. Maps are better in newer bmw, and the voice recognition of addresses is amazing.

Also apple carplay does not support the heads up display, which is a must for me now.

> Not only do they charge you extra to use CarPlay. Even though you own a car with CarPlay-capable hardware

Doesn't Tesla charge you extra for auto-pilot? Even tho your car has capable hardware already?
My 2011 Subaru Forester's "infotainment" is a TomTom GPS with a few extra hooks into the cars radio. It's absolute trash, but you can remove the GPS entirely and the radio/CD player/AUX still works with a small button only interface.

I've dreamed about being able to dock my phone in place of that shitty GPS.
> In ever US state where it is legal

I'm assuming you know that marijuana remains illegal due to (a) federal law and (b) the Constitution's Supremacy Clause.

I mean this with complete sincerity and genuine curiosity: Why did you choose wording that suggests the activity is wholly legal in those states?
Cities including Kent, WA mandate a 60/40 split if parking to building area, enforcing cars are the only practical transport option.

This equation has shifted due to eBikes, as they can blow past the snarled traffic on the handful of roads that connect the area, but it still leaves elders, youngsters and the infirm housebound.
I sort of agree with your skepticism, but you gotta admit that some of the things the ML folks are doing are uncanny in terms of how they seem to model the human visual system and perform other human-like tasks. Additionally, we already have tons of CPU horsepower that can get close in terms of raw processing ability. Even though we don't yet know what the missing "special sauce" is, I don't think it's inconceivable that someone in 5 years figures it out (though 50 years is just as likely)
So you're saying an army of self-driving Ubers would fix traffic?
IIRC the creator also releases his port as a patch. You can always try to patch emacs 27 with it.

The Tesla map tiles are from Google but the implementation of the app sucks. It doesn't preload tiles along your route so if you go out of mobile coverage it just draws blank rectangles which is hideous. There are many other defects.
Indeed, I succumbed to the habit as a teenager, when I was indoctrinated by full time users who were also my peers who abused my physically in pre teen years. Upon starting marijuana usage with these peers, they saw that I reacted to the substance and proceeded to abuse me psychologically. This planted the seeds necessary to catalyze a lifetime of delusion and exploration of waste and dipping my toes into counter culture. Now almost entirely alone and disconnected from any meaningful social roots, and suicidal much of the way, I’ve long since disconnected from such malicious people.

The group of friends from high school who didn’t use marijuana ostracized me by 18 and I stopped being alive since then. Now I’m in my 40’s and have been preparing for suicide with increasing inevitability since starting weed. I “gave up” on a fulfilled life as a teenager and have coasted my way to an inevitable suicide as a “stoner”.
There are plenty of people with more money than those people who would scoff at that kind of stuff out of pure principle, culture or growing up poor.

Or it's a tax deduction because leasing cars are deductible while buying them is not as easily deductible, so it's overall cheaper for them to act that way then to be traditionally money smart about it.
>>Your beautiful drive through Colorado requires quite a bit of maintenance and financial support. Somebody has to pay for that. With Brave, Advertisers can pay for it (without getting hold of your data) by way of users. Alternatively, you may choose to "fund the roads" yourself by depositing your own tokens into Brave's wallet—that too is possible.

Well, a lot of internet was built by people who want to share for sharing sake. Then companies figured there was money and so they started lining up those highways. Now, people do not have a decent way of knowing which highways have no ads. The equivalent is that people do not have a search engine which will send me only to sites which have no ads. Google has been spammed to death for every imaginable keyword. Every recommendation engine only shows based on eye balls.

If all these ad supported publishers die, we would have a much better internet where we can read genuine content, not some marketing based stuff. Hint: Look at the non ad supported Hacker news!
Fully agree. User activated tooltips are fantastic for learning to use an application, and desktop apps without them are half assed, IMO.

At the same time, I find the forced, “guided” tooltips to be invasive and annoying.
All users. We don't track brave users as they block Google analytics. The users who requested we participate thought it would be a good way to get 'free money' from Brave users like them that we were leaving on the table. That's definitely not the case.
Since Brave is usually roasted around here, I just want to say thanks to the devs. I'm a Brave user and the experience is fantastic. Two things: I was a Chrome user for many years, so switching to Brave was not traumatic at all (same user experience, plugin's compatibility) and also ad blockers work as expected.
I've never pay attention to the included ad solution. Im not interested on it.
Im strictly speaking as an end user.
I think it all resumes to this:

It's not feasable for any car brand to have a independent, competitive, updated and bug free car software. It will be a matter of time until we have only CarPlay and Android Auto probably with a skin (like we see in Android phones) for branding purposes.
I mean take a look at this bell curve chart with a 0.95 confidence interval (what I assumed the confidence interval of the hurricane path was): https://www.statisticshowto.datasciencecentral.com/wp-conten...

Its all one color...
You're right.

Do you have a better solution? I'm not asking to be glib, I actually want a browser that does a better job of protecting my privacy.
That's a completely different situation, and there's no telling when or if that will happen.
No kidding. I was just thinking about that last night!
Yeah, I’m definitely not a typical luxury car owner. I got a mid-range car from a high end brand, and I got it at a 40% discount because it was a demo model.
Not sure why you think BT and GPS are sufficient for Android Auto compatibility. AA and CarPlay require the ability to use your car's display as a peripheral.
We think the price of a couple cups of coffee per month is a fair price for something used for multiple hours per day. :) We're free for 30 days, so you can work out if this works for you!
If it isn't used a lot, I'd prefer the budget to go somewhere more useful instead.
