I mean, we don't really know the limits of human neuroplasticity. It is certainly a stretch, but I wouldn't rule it out for young children.

He's not going to do that because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20806265, and it wouldn't fit his agenda. tl;dr: he works for Brave, has two personal Twitter accounts, both browser-related, yet posts these reviews from the account which magically has zero mentions of him being on Brave's payroll! The level of propaganda is simply unbelievable!

An autonomous car should have a better reaction time than a human. If we have 100% autonomous cars, and a traffic light turns green, we should be able to avoid (or reduce) the ripple effect where cars down the line don't even start moving until a while later. They can all move at roughly the same time (and none of these cars will be reading their phones).

Likewise they will react more predictably. We won't have an idiot cutting lanes, or tapping his brakes since he can't maintain a constant speed. Apparently most traffic issues are caused by a few bad actors having an over-sized effect.

So I think even with more cars, we can get better flow, which is what traffic is all about. But it will be difficult or impossible with humans in the mix. I'm pretty sure many drivers will try to bully the safer driving autonomous cars if they can.

When looking at what happened (but not causation) one cultural change in the 1970s (in the US, at least) is that many more women began entering the workforce (for multiple reasons). This created a big jump in two-earner families, greatly enlarging the number of potential employees as well as the middle-class. (Another impact, latchkey kids.)

Neither Firefox nor Safari have claimed we should block all cookies. They've committed to taking large steps towards blocking 3rd-party cookies.

I don't think Google is intentionally confusing that distinction, and I wouldn't accuse them of that. As much as I find their arguments on this subject disingenuous and distasteful, they haven't claimed anything on that scale.

However, whenever Google proposes a privacy/security change, HN has a habit of accidentally conflating their specific arguments with the broadest, most general terms. Debates about specific policies become debates about whether or not broad, sweeping statements are true: Statements like, "all cookies are bad", or "browser extensions should be able to do whatever they want."

Google's argument here isn't even really about cookies at all, it's about tracking and advertising in general. Google is arguing that whatever privacy improvements we add to browsers, we need to make sure that advertisers can still serve personalized ads that follow users around the web. They are proposing separate standards from Mozilla and Safari that they say would improve privacy while allowing them to continue their current business model.

The confusion between Safari's actual cookie policy and this fictional "get rid of all cookies" policy that no browser has proposed is adding a lot of noise to the discussion. I assume this confusion is accidental, but it has the potential to really derail conversations.
Wouldn't your wife apologising for being emotional be a sign that she feels a need to apologise for them? Wouldn't good emotional intelligence be towards making someone feel valid, and expressing themselves (even if they're "emotional"). After they are heard, then you can do whatever rational decisions you want.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but having someone else apologise for their emotions doesn't sound like an EQ win to me.

I'm curious, why do you want to fight it? Some people will suffer from climate change, while others will gain a lot. For example, perhaps folks in Siberia might see their land become more usable. Some poor people in inland areas will suddenly have waterfront property, while some rich folks in mcmansions on the coast will lose their's. So in a sense fighting climate change is helping certain populations (in many cases, the rich), while hurting others.
These kinds of outrage episodes spread in part because their message seems plausible, and they tap into the anxieties of the young and the guilt of the elites and the middle-aged. They originate from viral posts that stir up emotions while questioning the lack of media coverage in mainstream media --- long a popular tactic used by the right, but in recent years adopted by loud voices on seemingly the far left.

Without digging into every case, it's hard to nail down whether these are organic, authentic attempts by would-be influencers or true believers to bring attention to an issue, or whether they're planted stories designed to simply stoke pre-existing anxieties further. Someone should try to track this down. Nonetheless, media outlets will eventually cover the issue and the resulting social media outrage, and occasionally perpetuate false or misleading information, or highly biased viewpoints noting that bias in the process. A few publications debunking this after the fact is unlikely to reverse the spread of misinformation.

Obviously, if this original review were to come from Brave or a Brave-employee directly, it probably would have been taken differently than coming from a "grass-roots" individual, hence the intentional deception on his part.

Twitter explicitly allows one to have multiple accounts as long as you use them for different purposes; in this instance, it's very difficult to see what purpose this Brave-less account has (other than intentionally misleading the public by hiding the Brave affiliation whilst still talking about browsers).
I don't believe this, but just to entertain the possibility that he is innocent, let's try and come up with some dystopian world where he could be:

Imagine all big-corp actually have a book or ledger of IoU's / tabs / etc so that any work for each other goes untaxed instead of reporting reciprocal work done. This would be a way to avoid paying taxes to the state. Once optimized, what's left? Avoid actually paying your employees, you feed the chicken ... but then you eat it: they pay their employees for a prolonged period of work, then they ask another company to seduce the employee in a crime, then you sue the employee (with or without a mock trial surrounding the second company), then the second company settles. If this happens mutually the money of the employees goes back to the employers. If just 2 companies are on the ledger this may become noticable, so larger cycles (A to B, B to C, C to D, D to A) spread over time and in a different order have the same effect.

(I don't believe it's happening ... yet)

Cows are fed very, very little corn. Corn is not cheaper than grass! Grass is free and widely available in the great American plains. More than 90% of a cow's diet over its lifetime is grass and hay. Less than 10% is grain or non-human edible leftovers from corn stalks, such as corn silage:

The Church of Satan is just a way of selling libertarian humanism to the dissaffected children of middle class Christians, by inverting some biblical tropes and going woo a lot though.

The cathode and anode of a battery are not just the little metal terminals; they are the sites where the electrochemical reaction takes place, and where the energy is stored. Even in an old-fashioned alkaline battery, they run the entire length of the cell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_battery#Chemistry

(For one thing, the surface area of contact between the electrodes and electrolyte is a limiting factor for how fast the reaction can proceed, and therefore how much current the battery can produce.)

In a lithium-ion battery, the cathode and anode are typically constructed out of many stacked layers, separated only by a very thin layer of electrolyte.
I never knew that was a speed trap. How do they enforce it? It seemed really easy to see cop cars, as long as you slowed down for bridges.

Because at their scale, people actually need to understand the issue rather than just applying fixes blindly plucked from the Internet. Don't get me wrong, Google is my go-to as well, but I suspect that they need to dig a little deeper.
Yes, something like that. Almost everyone who writes Elm code uses elm-format which is very "spacey". So foo = 1 is formatted with foo = on one line and 1 on the next, with some leading space.

So, avgas has about 45 MJ/kg energy density, lithium ion batteries have 0.5 MJ/kg. Aviation engines are maybe 30% efficient, while electrics are about 90% efficient, so we've got about 15 MJ/kg usable versus 0.45 MJ/kg usable. Double the energy density of a lithium battery, and you're at 0.9 MJ/kg usable, versus 15.

We're not there yet to propel airplanes with batteries, not useful ones, anyway.
I don't see any mentions of reproducible builds over there.

If you're not familiar what reproducible builds are, I suggest you examine the following article:

* https://brendaneich.com/2014/01/trust-but-verify/

Mozilla, however, is different, in that all builds are posted to ftp.mozilla.org, in a versioned manner, and kept there for a while, which, at least in theory, makes it easier to verify or analyse the builds.

What is the situation with Brave? Can I download a version released a few months ago? As it is, the browser is not only not really versioned (at least in the binary form), but there's not even a way to disable it from automatically updating itself. Self-modifying code, where the user has no control over the channel under which the modifications are pushed, is inherently insecure from the reproducibility's perspective.

It depends on which personal, professional, social, ethical and legal boundaries you are willing to cross.

Spamming users after buying their email address, cross fewer such boundaries, cause much less harm, and could be argued as "working smarter".

> Ad blockers typically don't just indiscriminately block all third-party resources. I suspect that the author simply isn't aware of which things are and aren't tracking users, and assumes that they don't track users unless that's their explicit purpose.

Yep, and they seem to misunderstand the Webkit page too. As I read it, they're not even planning to block ad and tracking scripts at all. What they are blocking is:

1. Cross-site tracking (e.g. using a stored UUID or tracking cookie)

2. "Covert" means of tracking that fingerprint users (and therefore enable cross site tracking that can't be otherwise blocked by the browser).

I don't see any evidence that the Webkit devs consider third party requests to be cross-site tracking per se. You and I (rightfully) worry about tracking sites correlating users via IP addresses and other means, but what Webkit seems to be planning is simply isolating individual sites, kind of like Firefox's containers. It's not much. Maybe there's hope they'll clean referers too?
A couple issues with the science here:

>Between 2005 and 2015, global rates of fracking went from producing 31 billion cubic meters per year to 435 billion

>In the last half of the 20th, century levels of methane in the atmosphere rose. They then plateaued, and spiking in 2008.

So the shale gas revolution started in 2005, but the spike didn't occur until 2008? Also it isn't clear if this was a transient spike or the author is referring to a sudden and sustained increase.

> While methane released in the late 20th century was enriched with the carbon isotope 13C, Howarth highlights methane released in recent years features lower levels. That's because the methane in shale gas has depleted levels of the isotope when compared with conventional natural gas or fossil fuels such as coal, he explained

First, all conventional gas is "shale gas," except for a tiny minority of highly atypical cases where reservoir sections have experienced prolonged high temperatures and matured further. Thus almost all natural gas ultimately comes from shale - fracking is merely extracting it at the source, where it does not significantly differ in composition from gas which has migrated to reservoir in conventional extraction. So, second, I'm suspcious of the use of c13 to differentiate fracking and non fracking sourced methane, but I'm not a petrophysicist. It should be related to the age of the fluid, and I don't expect shale gas to be substantially younger than reservoir gas in most cases.

> Why can't I have the browser maintain an in-memory session that is reset if the browser instance dies?

But... you're describing 1st party cookies. You can already set Firefox to delete all cookies whenever the browser is closed. It's not just that this problem has a solution, the solution is already implemented and live today in every major browser.

It's also not 'conceptually' similar to private/incognito mode, it literally is private/incognito mode. Private mode is just Firefox storing all of your session/cookie data in RAM so that it will get deleted when the browser closes. The main difference is that private mode is more aggressive, because it includes downloads/history in the deleted session, and takes extra steps to make sure the data won't accidentally get cached even in temporary files.

The big reason browsers are getting more aggressive about 3rd-party cookies is that they can be used to track you across domains even during browsing sessions, so there's often a good reason to block known tracking cookies outright. Additionally, most ordinary users want cookies to persist between browser sessions, so to enable that behavior we have to be more creative about figuring out which cookies are harmful -- then we can remove them even for ordinary users. It turns out that blocking 3rd-party cookies can sometimes be a useful way to filter "good" and "bad" session data.

But if you don't fall into that category of user, and you're OK with needing to re-log into sites when you open the browser, then go wild. Switching to temporary cookies will definitely help with your privacy, and Firefox even includes ways for you to whitelist any sites where you do want cookies and localstorage to be persistent.
