So happy that Firefox is making steady progress.

I’m surprised though to see new CSS features so prominently in the announcement. Doesn’t this add unwanted additional fragmentation to browser CSS support?

A cosmetic feature like that naively seems better implemented with a library rather than folding it straight into one particular browser, but maybe I’m witnessing the process of text-underline-thickness being cemented in the standard after years of such library-based support?
> As far as I remember, when websites were doing window pop-ups and Google toolbar removed them, they didn't block the toolbar users. So, the risk is low...

He never said anything about blocking, here his exact quote about the retaliation:

> Why spend money optimizing for a browser that doesn't generate revenue?

Nobody ever optimized for a browser that had the Google toolbar installed. It's hard to stop doing something you never did.

As the other parent comment said, it will happens naturally by the mere fact that theses users won't appears on statistics. For sure it will depends on the developers, and many of them will either use Firefox directly, or simply care enough about their craft to optimize for most of the browsers even though they don't appear on stats.
If this is true how does Google know about my flight details for example? Is it client side Android code or does the information get to the server side in a database decrypted?

Also if Google doesn't need my emails, can you tell me why Google is behind other companies in end-to-end encryption of emails? I'm sure many people would like to have it as a feature (even if it makes searching these emails server side impossible)
This is wonderful. I wish they would make Pocket a little less terrible (no forced reader mode for links, etc)
I added one of my projects (https://github.com/akavel/rsrc) some time ago, when codeshelter was announced for the first time; it has a "maintainer" listed; but noone seemed to either contact me or do anything with the repo, ever. It feels weird to me. I can understand that there's no requirement for them to do something; but it still feels weird as it is now — someone seems to claim to (want to?) be a contributor, but didn't seem to even try and reach out to me.

Thinking out loud, maybe there could be some form, where if a candidate maintainer clicks the button to "join a project" (or whatever), they'd have to compose some message that would be sent to the owner, to at least break some first ice and initiate some contact? I don't know what's going on with the person. If there was an easy way, I would be happy to reach out to them and ask them, like, "hey, howdy'a doing?" Also, it would be nice if I was sent an email with a notification when someone "claims" my project, and with a chance to connect with them. Maybe you could try and start contacting people to see how is this working, and if not, to try and dig down on the underlying reasons? maybe this could lead to some now ideas for improvements and helping people work together?
The argument is, it is year 1981 of internet in cryptocurrency world.

And rate of innovation in cryptocurrency might not be as breakneck as it was in networks. And it's mosaic is not yet written (this is all very obvious).

But smart contracts are going to be big, given enough time. Smart-everything requires them to work, and we want smart-everything.
It really is bound to Earth. It's defined based on TAI (which needs a bunch of atomic clocks all sat on Earth's surface or adjusted to allow for altitude) and the International Earth Rotation Service (which measures how quickly the Earth spins) so as to have it track TAI over the short term, but occasionally inject "leap seconds" so as to track the spin of the planet and keep the relationship between apparent sun position and UTC as expected.

Time isn't really universal by its nature, but at human scale and in a relatively small place like Earth you can mostly pretend it doesn't matter, and UTC helps do that.

All I can say is that advertising has been a part of newspapers and magazines for essentially forever. (I would also add that I don't seem to get ads from The Economist on the mobile app.)

There are no-ad magazines out there but it's pretty uncommon and the subscriptions are relatively expensive to cover the lack of advertising revenue.
What's the deal with radar on a phone anyway?
Maybe don't fix it and just accept that organization X doesn't want it's users to access your resource?

Seems more reasonable than trying circumvent a legitimate restriction. Not every block is an adversary which needs defeating.
I ('m apparently the last person in the world who) just watched this show for the first time recently. It had its cool moments and was an overall positive experience, but the reliance on outdated (even then) freudian ideas hurts it a bit. Not to mention the slideshows.
Nope, the "no maintenance intended" explanation definitely does not mean that the software is free from vulnerabilities. If you want to use an unmaintained project, you should look at its dependencies and assess for yourself whether it's a better idea to use the project or rewrite your own version. In many cases, it's best to fork the project and maintain it as if it was your own code.
And any sort of diversion from that approved narrative, like suggesting that some of this is going a little too far, will make you a pariah in the industry. This is what I'm getting in, in questioning how much "the establishment" allows vigorous debate.
Why would I need to link to this badge, or use it at all? Also, why would someone want to pay for bandwidth for these badges? I just don't understand the point of the badge or the landing page. I could just write "No maintenance will be done on this repo" in my Readme and call it a day.

Doesn’t really matter if he hates it, they are not mutually exclusive, and the free software movement and the gnu project have contributed greatly to open source software in general.
I agree. However, if you're seriously asking that, perhaps you haven't been paying much attention to the political zeitgeist
You can read about what Mozilla did on their blog post about this: https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2018/10/22/testing-n...

Quoting from the blog post:
"We therefore set out to conduct a thorough evaluation of a long list of market-leading VPN services. Our team looked closely at a wide variety of factors, ranging from the design and implementation of each VPN service and its accompanying software, to the security of the vendor’s own network and internal systems. We examined each vendors’ privacy and data retention policies to ensure they logged as little user data as possible. And we considered numerous other factors, including local privacy laws, company track record, transparency, and quality of support."

It was quite intensive, with on site visits to our office in Geneva and discussions with Mozilla technical leadership.
Yeah pretty interesting. The primary use-case I imagine that it will improve is voice and video real-time communications. Anything that lowers the round-trip time during a human conversation is going to be very significant to improving the user experience.
Payment process definitely isn't streamlined right now (the button to cash out just sends me an email), but I am planning on paying through a 1099, if that makes things any easier.
Could be something like the trivial portal login was protected by VPN.
I get that, but in regards to getting raw browser marketshare, client-side code isn't the only way.
This article seems awfully doom and gloom. I find that:

- Google provides really good tools for archiving your data. If you want to reduce your storage footprint, you can use Google Takeout to grab it, archive it somewhere else, and then clean up items you no longer want. I recently did this with my photos, I knew I had some huge videos that had been uploaded that I didn't need (I had edited them into a Youtube video), so I was able to find and delete them and open up quite a bit of space. I toyed with the idea of deleting photos 5 years old, once I archived them, but I didn't need to because of the above.

- Google provides a lot of value to me for the $3/month I've been spending. Photo enrichment and searching is something I use all the time. Storage of my documents and files is very useful and google has been super reliable.
I wonder if they take into account things, like how long since their offense, number of offenses. Hiring somebody whose last offense was more than five years ago perhaps is more likely to perform more similarly to a non-offender.
It's a little annoying though to be forced to use interface{} as type parameters for higher order list operations as there's a performance overhead when using it. Hopefully this is remedied when Go gets type generic support.
You can buy your own domain. Then when you switch email providers you'd just change your domain's mail records to point to the new provider. You can even transfer your domain between registrars if you decide you don't like your current one.
If mainstream companies tried to hire and run projects in haskell problems would quickly surface.

The robust way is to abstract control logic from the UI logic entirely. So a dedicated processor(s) running bare metal code or an RTOS with a link to a fancier HMI. The HMI can have all the ugly crash happy UI code heaped on top to display data or send changes. If the HMI crashes the controller won't notice or care. There should never be a dependency on the HMI.

Only in the USA... In Canada you can give people stuff if you like. Lotteries and gambling winnings are tax free. Gambling and lottery losses are not deductible.
I am constantly amazed that the USA taxes or tries to tax all that stuff, and defrauds you on the input deduction. You buy a lottery ticket = say $10. If your winnings are taxable, your $10 ticket cost should be a deduction - right?
Not in the USA. Then there are medical costs = fraud at a new and far higher level.
Sounds high. Top partners at law firms will have rates lower than that.

>But my guess is that you take issue more with their skin color.

Right. He is clearly a racist for challenging the preferred economic policies of both right and left leaning billionaires and multinational corporations, who incidentally, have the health of the planet as their primary concern and in no way would love the commoditization of human beings.

In German "Internationale Standardisierungs-Organisation" could've been chosen to fit ISO, but they went with "Internationale Organisation für Normung" instead.
Actually, the origin is supposed to send a `Vary` header if it changes behavior based on any header.

So, if a client sends a 20kb `X-Oversized-Header`, when the server responds with a 400 -- it might be conceivable that it should include `Vary: X-Oversized-Header`.

Is that "really" the right fix? Probably not. But the HTTP RFCs provide `Vary` for exact this kind of reason within HTTP caching: the origin is varying its response based on a subset of headers.
I'm an idiot. Like, hardcore.

This morning I made breakfast and left for work without eating it.

Even I came to the realization that if you don't pay for something you are a disposable, interchangeable asset to be exploited.

$4.25 per month gets me 25GB at Fastmail.

$1.08 per month gets me a domain name at Namecheap.

$5.33 per month gets me an email address with no ads and no tracking, support when things go wrong, and an email address that is my actual name at a .com address that sounds respectable.

If fastmail goes bad? All of my emails are on my computer. I just switch providers and I can keep the same address.

If namecheap goes bad? I move my domain name to another service.

There are step-by-step easy-to-follow tutorials on how to do what I did that are so simple to implement that even someone who left their bowl of oatmeal on the kitchen counter this morning and is really hungry at work could follow them.

If something isn't worth spending $5.33 per month on, is it really that important?

I don't pay for HN. If they started screwing with their users, or started charging for the service I would move on and certainly wouldn't write articles claiming that YC hooked me then hung me out to dry for cash.
Your post is extremely misleading with respect to the Iraqi antiquities case. Here is the Government's complaint in that case: https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/press-release/file/978096/.... And here is the stipulation of settlement entered into by the Government and Hobby lobby: http://www.artcrimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/3....

First, "they" did not "intentionally forg[e] documents" or "fak[e] the import country and contents." The government never accused them of that. That conduct is all attributed to Hobby Lobby's dealers, which are addressed under the heading "Additional in rem Defendants" in the complaint. The government never alleges that Hobby Lobby knew about any of that conduct.

Second, Hobby Lobby did not "pay a 3 million fine." That implies that the government proved the allegations in the complaint. It is critical to understand that the government didn't need to prove that Hobby Lobby itself did anything wrong or knew anything. The government seized the incoming shipment under civil asset forfeiture. Under the customs laws, it only needed to establish that it was more likely than not that the items were exported in violation of Iraqi law. Hobby Lobby, as the buyer, had the right to contest that allegation, but it could not prevail simply by showing that it was innocent.

Hobby Lobby agreed to forfeit the items and settle for $3 million, but the stipulation of settlement does not admit wrongdoing. The company has consistently maintained that its dealers told it the origin of the items was Israel, and that their failure was not exercising proper precautions in verifying that information.

This is what I'm doing to migrate my data over to Microsoft's offering (I get adfree mail and 1TB + office products that work offline). I'm just waiting for Microsoft to let me use a domain without GoDaddy, so I can use the email, but I'm more likely to use it for storage.
There is almost no action you can take on Youtube without it recommending a deluge of god-awful 'user generated content' videos on these topics. The only solution is to frequently right click and select "Not Interested" and then "Not interested in the channel: [channel name]".

The recs are poor enough that I don't mind blanket-banning an entire channel from my feed. Youtubers so frequently "compete" by using clickbait titles and thumbnails, I'm glad I at least have this method to punish that kind of behaviour.
Likewise! I appreciate your willingness to discuss this. I was also surprised to see it on their website, surprised and disappointed. The Scientific American used to produce wonderful articles and project guides, and I credit them with having helped jumpstart my love for technology. It is sad to see them publish low quality articles.

I understand your hesitation with regard to increasing the invisible radiation flux. I would likely feel the same way if I wasn't close to the field. From my point of view I would be far more worried about the materials used to produce modern phones and the disposal of the resulting industrial waste, the volatility of their batteries (particularly from manufacturers with shoddy QC), and the ethical considerations of sourcing the materials used.

Well it seems there's always something else. He's a journalist. He's committed a political crime and that rules out extradition. He's being targeted by a state entity so this isn't fair. The only crime he may have committed is only a minor felony. He probably didn't know that it was a minor felony. Sweden weren't going to treat him fairly. She was a CIA plant. Uruguay didn't treat him fairly. The US won't treat him fairly. They'll torture and execute him.

All I've seen is a man dodging the law, over and over and over again, exploiting means and influence that most people could only dream of, while those friends point out the toll this self-inflicted purgatory is having on him as another form of "this isn't fair!" excuse.

It's all tosh. Negotiate your extradition, get to court, get this sorted. The time he takes to get there is all on him.

Agreed 100%. There’s so much domain knowledge in a lot of systems that run in production for a couple of years that the disappearance of the entire team means basically a full rewrite.
The scale of Java is also insane. The standard library is huge. The commonly leveraged frameworks, also huge. And the abstraction...my God, the unnecessary abstraction.

How many people, offhand, know the difference between a Runnable, Callable, Function, Consumer, and Supplier? I include all of them because literally the only meaningful difference between them is whether they take an argument or not (Function and Consumer do), and whether they return an argument or not (Callable, Function, and Supplier do).

How many people know the difference between a Future, a CompletableFuture, a RunnableFuture, a ScheduledFuture, a ScheduledRunnableFuture, and a FutureTask? I've done async code in Java; I still can't keep them straight.
We do care and take great pains to prevent further damage to the hearing systems. All hearing aids will have a MPO (maximum power output) setting. All hearing tests (should)include a test to determine the maximum threshold of volume level.

Only in cases of sever to profound will a hearing device be programmed to exceed a safe normal hearing level.

Outer (inner actually) hair cells receive an input and there movement sends an electrical signal down the auditory nerve. In cases of hearing damage these hair cells are not as receptive and require a stronger "push" to move.

Dubious (in your opinion) or not, the other features are designed to improve the understanding of speech especially in noisy situations.

===============
Hearing aids cost a lot of money.
no question.
But they are not just devices pulled from the shelf and stuck in your ear. They require both initial settings (derived from hearing exams) and frequent follow ups as the user adjusts.
