Timely as I’m going to Berlin/Prague/Budapest in four days :) Not so much a counter argument but a different perspective: I live in lower manhattan and have for the past 8 years or so and the only way I ever see it is when tourists come and I can show them around.

It’s a mistake to think a city represents the entire character of a country but it’s also not fair to think of it as fake or that no people from that country actually live there. I guess what I’m saying is that it sounds like you are just more interested in places that have a different class character which is totally fine. But it’s not the case that there aren’t city people who are proud of and would love to show off the beauty and history of the place they live in every city.

(Also, if you’re showing up and staying at expensive hotels you’re doing it wrong. That’s for sure.)

I have seen it, several times actually. It does move like that, and it can throw a very clear shadow (for brightness).

You were unlucky, it seems. Several times the groups I was meeting up with were unlucky as well, and freaked out about the faintest glow over the horizon (and in both cases it was a better-than-50%-chance timewise).

People often actually don't believe it until they see it. It's the kind of thing I have to stop the car for or I'll crash due to not watching the road.

It's like looking at porn and then not believing fantastic sex exists at all.
The amount of vacation time one receives and the amount of money one spends on health care and education isn’t something that can be chalked up to perception.

Sometimes a user might think they need feature A to make task B easier when in reality instead of doing B they actually want to do C but they never thought of it that way.

If you implement A, you take on maintanance burden when C would be way easier to implement and potentially much more useful for the majority of your users.

Which they use all the time still, so that's not a real difference. It's not xor with digital surveillance.

Besides what you describe (double life, death, etc) would be a problem for the spy, not the general population. I could not care less about the spies.

But I wasn't talking about spying as much, but for government / police / etc surveillance. Where if they have to deploy humans to spy on some drug dealers or suspected murderer or whatever, is fine. And the fact that they're humans, makes it more costly to mass deploy (and thus serves as a natural check and balance).

It must be so frustrating working in open source and seeing such entitled comment such as yours.

Malware extensions is a real problem that affects literally millions more people than people who want to use the standard Firefox release with an unsigned extension.

And it's such a lazy thing to say "oh they can just replace the Firefox binary" when that's clearly a significantly more complex task than just writing an extension.

What's so secret about your extension code that you want to be able to distribute it to users without getting it reviewed by Mozilla?

You posted on that Bugzilla post but gave no details as to what your use case is.

Also why can't a user take the code for your extension, create an account on the add-on marketplace and privately get it signed for themselves. It's a multistep process but works.

> that should be the case in every country -- such services should be local, governed by local laws

So a cloud service that's available worldwide should store and process data locally in every country (or perhaps even every sub-jurisdiction of every country) just so that that jurisdiction can serve warrants to it and others cannot? Or worse, people in multiple countries should have to use different services and hope those services interoperate with each other, just so that they can "shop local"?

The Internet does not and should not work that way. If we're going to go to the trouble of building interoperable, federated services, it should be to put them in the control of individual users, not in the control of governments.
This post talks a lot about the chicken and egg problem, and the inventors of Reddit faced the same problem - no one will come to your homepage for the internet if it doesn't look like the homepage for the internet.

Do you know what they did? They didn't focus on one community - they faked it. Thousands of fake posts with fake comments. All scripted.

Then one day they started seeing posts they didn't write and it took off.

Reddit was built on lies and you can too :)
Well these companies do lobby and bid for the rights to do so and ultimately do get permission from the local governments..

AFAIK there are only two browsers for Android that supports extensions. Firefox and Kiwi Browser. Because of scrolling issues with Firefox I switched to Kiwi Browser. It supports all desktop Chrome extensions and uBlock Origin is working perfectly. I might switch to this if it supports all extensions.
Hi! Tom from Grafana Labs here to answer any questions you might have...
You're doing essentially the same, but in reverse.

The issue with scooters is twofold - one, tragedy of commons. A morally bankrupt company decides to abuse public space to avoid having to pay costs of arranging parking space for their scooters.

Secondary issue is that the whole business is based on having people dropping these scooters wherever, with no regard to other users of the sidewalk. And people do just that, as incentivized, and then accidents happen - for instance, people with visual impairments trip over them.

(Tertiary issue is that these scooters reach dangerous speeds. Within six months of the deployment there were already scooter-caused fatalities in Poland. Fortunately, my country is about to regulate them as motor vehicles, forcing them to use the roads. As they should.)

Top 5 Tips on Managing Age Diverse Software Teams
This is me. Bad surgery and a failure of all the supposed support systems to help has ruined my life. Burned nearly everything I earned for my future. I've tried to get out of the US back to Europe where I lived before but the very losses I incurred here in health and financial security keep me from immigrating. The usual responses are victim blaming by nationalists, suggestions to pray from the religious, and "get a job" (ignoring all the health limitations I have explained as if I am making them up) from about everyone else as they deconstruct what THEY would do in their imagination. As if I would choose this life if I had better choices. I'll die in mid 40s because of this and if I was born in an actual first world nation with social systems I wouldn't have to. So add me too the statistics.

You cant take away someone's health, career, life, and leave them in constant pain for years and years, deny them assistance, and then expect them to live like any young/healthy person fighting in the grind for the "right" to pay for life, and then act shocked when they are forced to opt out of life. But if you bring this up to people all they have is the idea of locking you up in a mental hospital and adding more 6-7 figure bills. I want to live. America isn't going to let me. Most days anymore I am resigned to it and glad it will be over...but some I am angry af. The only thing I will miss of this miserable place is my cat, the only good thing in my life, and I cannot even assure her future here as the people I live with aren't responsible and nobody adopts around here. Maybe I will win the lotto before end of year and can move us both abroad.

It's quite absurd to refer to VC-driven enterprises like that considering the resource it's written on.
The way to tell whether the user needs feature A or C is by talking with them, and watching them use your product in context of their overall work. Telemetry does neither, and will not reveal to you that the user needs C instead of A. On the contrary, it's likely to make you double down on A, because that's what shows up in the data.

It is related to extension support in Firefox. Not offering any way to override this option, even if it takes 10 steps and it is marked by warnings, is hostile to users. We will continue to raise awareness of Mozilla's actions whenever we believe they go against the public good.

It would be more productive to allow others to learn about the issue and give us a chance to have a public discourse about it, where technical details can be explained and their threat model shared, and possibly allow for feedback by the community to shape the final implementation.
This is one reason that NIBOR requires that a new virtual machine can always be installed to fix issues with the previous one.
>To navigate a file on Vim, use the letters h,j,k, and l.These commands are called motions, as they move the cursor. The keys h and l will move your cursor horizontally (one character at a time), while j and k move vertically (one line at a time). If you put your hand on them, the layout sorta makes sense.

The way the author explains it above (mechanical) is the way I was initially taught over 20 years ago. However, it wasn't effective for my learning style because it felt random and incoherent. So _why_ does 'h' key move left? And _why_ do I have to press 'i' for "insert" mode when I didn't have to do that in Notepad/MSWord? My UNIX instructor couldn't answer those questions. He just said, "I dunno, it's just the way it is." As a sysadmin, I memorized it but it was a very unsatisfying way to learn vi.

My brain is most receptive to learning when it knows the underlying philosophy of why things are designed the way they are. Previous comment with some links.[0]

Once one knows the design intentions behind vi, the learning feels much less random.

But you have an external API - meaning, you have to get a Telegram account, register a bot (and not forget to unregister it later), think about who else can see the bot, think about if it matters that Telegram can see the data, etc. If you plan to keep this up for some time, you'll also have to keep up with Telegram's policy changes, outages, etc.
They call it "tracking protection." As a side effect, it blocks ads. I guess they wouldn't block ads that don't track you, but those seem to be rare.

Edit: Is my experience unusual? News websites that are normally encrusted with ads (e.g. using Firefox for Android without any add-ons) turn refreshingly ad-free in Firefox Preview.
Bigger problem with human moderators is that the companies often keep them at arms length.

i.e. they will typically use contractors or contract houses for moderation work. Why? Because it allows for opportunities to minimize the cost of counseling (If you're doing serious moderation, they must provide mental health support services. But fixed-term contracts make this easier to contain/control, at the cost of the employee.)

I'm not interested in a discussion of Yang's policies, or a debate of his plan for UBI. I highlighted his tweet specifically because it singles out the suffering of rural whites by name.

Bernie, Warren, Harris, etc. speak directly to issues which disproportionally affect other groups (police violence against blacks, immigration policy that mainly affects Hispanics, etc.), but never this one. It gives an impression of unequal treatment, and leaves some feeling unnoticed and ignored. This creates opportunity for the first politician to say, "I see you, I see your suffering, and I will not ignore you."
Case in point, I know a university case where the professor body wanted to appoint their "own" candidate for a professorship position. The dean and several (majority) professors had already agreed under the table, and the few others didn't matter.

The only problem was they legally had to go through a open contest for the position.

So when someone came up with 5x the qualifications (citations, papers, conferences, better universities attended, etc, globally too) than their ho-hum friend (some relative of the dean), the professor body suddenly folded the position.

A few months later, they announced a new opening, with some specially crafted qualifications, so that only their friend could pass.
Thank you. Tapering at _just_ the right dose to not interfere with the grades in the master degree I am doing is quite tough.

Unicorn Idea:
Quantitative Withdrawal

User enters dosage each time they use. Datetime is auto filled, but can be altered for dosages that are entered belatedly.

ML is used to show charts with sliders based on speed of taper and severity of side effects. A time series showing the reduction in withdrawal effects over time with an ETA and other statistics. With labeled sections for certain parts of the withdrawal that are more severe (think a phase change diagram.) Seizure/epilespy zone would be clearly large on a configuration where the user chooses a ridiculously fast taper. The app would show a color, red in this case, warning of these symptoms and recommending against it. Baseline taper recommendations could be based on the medical literature out there with clinical trials. There is plenty of labeled data especially from the NIH.

The user can log their current symptoms to help the model learn their individual brain chemistry.

And vitals like HR, pulse, and o2 that are easily measured via pleasant APIs like Healthkit on iOS and Android. (Would be by proxy optionally compatible with iWatch, FitBit and other such sensors.)

These vitals are great features that the model can learn from.

The user can answer questions regarding the current state of their withdrawal symptoms, providing the model with labeled data to learn from.

Models can be pretrained on an individual in close proximity to the MLE on the distribution of human neurochemistry. And thus would work out of the box pretty well before the users input and vitals start to vastly improve it until it helps the user maintain AND gain :-)

just ideas..

>...one thing that gets overlooked is declining religiosity...

I think, maybe, you're mistaking the community that forms around religion (e.g.: churches, friendships, church groups, etc.) for religion, itself.

If the argument were that lack of religion is a precursor to increasing suicide rates, then we in Europe should be killing ourselves off in droves because we're the least religious lot (compared to our North American counterparts).

Most people understand Tor to be the 'dark web', so I wouldn't call it clickbait. Hell, it is the dark web.

It's you who's wrongly associating it with paedophilia and drugs (both amply available on the 'clearnet') IMO, which does quite a disservice to attempts to promote Tor to the newly privacy-conscious.

'Dark' means hidden, not 'evil'.

For non-BRAM/SRAM primitives that you explicitly want to use, your best bet would be a blackbox. However, for memory, Chisel has built in memory hardware types `Mem` (synchronous write/asynchronous read) and `SyncReadMem` (synchronous write/synchronous read). A read or a write access to these infer a port.

On the FIRRTL side, there's a dedicated pass `ReplSeqMems` that will replace sequential memories with a blackbox and configuration file. The intent here is that the configuration file (describing info like width, depth, number of ports, etc.) can then be used as input to an SRAM generator.

For FPGAS, (and I may be wrong here), I think that without `ReplSeqMems`, when using `SyncReadMem`, things will automatically get inferred to BRAM for Xilinx tools. However, the same approach to `ReplSeqMems` could be used to replace memories with the correct template for a specific FPGA vendor tool.
