It was hyperbole more in keeping with the spirit of the issue than a suggestion for policy.

So you would argue that bus lanes should be HOV lanes - if you have at least 3 people in your car you can use it (although if it's a taxi, minimum would be 4 people)
Oh, wow! Thanks. Would seriously love to see that.
IIRC Safari achieves this by suspending the processes in background tabs, which could be running inefficient JavaScript (polling for new ads etc). There's no cross-platform way to do this, but I think Mozilla absolutely need to try and find a way to address this. Web sites cannot be trusted to write efficient well-behaved JavaScript and so the burden of taming it falls upon the browser. There is probably some throttling going on, but clearly not enough. Running background JavaScript should be an opt-in permission, not the default.
Ask HN: Why is CORS the way it is?
I understand the problem CORS is trying to solve, but I don't really understand the implementation. The main problem for me is the decreased performance as a result of preflight requests. In order to avoid them, as far as I know you have to resort to hacky solutions like tunneling everything through POST requests with mime type text/plain, or using query params like ?delete=true. These solutions are easy to implement, but hacky and dangerous.

Since it's so easy for developers to circumvent, why did browser vendors force this solution on everyone, rather than leaving cross-origin security up to developers, or at least making CORS opt-in?

What am I missing here?
On Windows I've been testing the new MS Edge because I've noticed my laptop has significantly higher CPU usage running FF. The reduced battery life is one thing, a hot laptop is another. Currently the new Edge is not as well optimized as the original, but there's more to come on that front.

I've been using FF since it was in beta, never left but I'm starting to come around to the reality that native browsers are best optimized for the device. While there's no real native browser to leverage on desktop Linux, on macOS/Windows, native may be the best way to go for most people. This is how break down browsers to friends and family.

Google Chrome- optimized for Google's needs and profit margin.

Microsoft Edge- optimized for your device, if running Windows.

Apple Safari- optimized for your device, if running macOS.

Mozilla Firefox- optimized for the user. Certainly a noble goal, but I increasingly have a "mobile" goal and that trend isn't slowing for anyone.
Ok, so another wealth tax question - do pensions and other such instruments count? If not, what's preventing someone from buying a large annuity and avoiding the tax?

And if you do... A lot of public pensions are worth 2+ million. Are public pensions supposed to be excluded? How does that get explained to the voters?

> American law tends to center around harm to consumers. By that reasoning, it can be hard to prove a market with a single player is actually anticompetitive if that player isn't muscling out better options for consumers from the space.

I think censorship changes the equation a lot. Because of the right of free association, a company can choose to favor a side of the political spectrum. This is not problematic in the absence of a monopoly as there will likely be a diverse range of companies, and new companies can enter that cater to one side or the other.

However, if a company is a monopoly with a huge barrier to entry because of network effects and/or data, it can be argued that the monopoly is harmful to consumers on the other side of the political spectrum because they will not get the chance to promote their views.

I work in a small, physical goods business in the Midwest (~30 employees), and the amount of time spent doing data entry is incredible.

Documents (often PDFs, sometimes excel) flow between buyers, shippers, freight forwarders and internally. These documents are often updated.

I'm looking into EDI for a solution, but there's so much value to be created from cutting out all this data entry. At least 1-1.5 full time employee's worth at our size.
Yes I did some of this at an old telecoms job. It was incredibly obvious that an automated system could put 5-10 people out of work depending on the sophistication of the implementation. I started automating my own analysis job and left before spreading it or letting it work without super vision. Definitely a lot of low level knowledge worker jobs can be evaporated.

The creator of the series definitely thinks a lot about Hiroshima and the occupation. Its extremely evident in the live action movie Shin Godzilla that he also directed (its a great movie, check it out if you can, very unlike any Godzilla movie I've seen before). Not to spoil too much but the postwar relationship between the US and Japan is a major theme and the film includes a 10 second silent cutaway where photographs of the destruction of Hiroshima/Nagasaki are shown.

Sure, from the perspective of availability, it makes sense to keep this around. The US military has redundancies in place to handle many kinds of adverse scenarios, which comes at a price, but is justifiable. The point I'm trying to make is that if availability is the _only_ value, it becomes hard to justify that if you're a scrappy for-profit corp looking at your bottom line.

If instead of availability being the only value, there would be a more value provided from actually using such resources, more folks would adopt cross-AZ architectures which would be a win-win for both the customer (get HA for lower or no cost and go down less often and succeed in the market) and thus the cloud provider (keep raking in the steady cloud revenue as the customer grows).
Any midsize company has tremendous amount of things that could be automated. For example, I work at manufacturing company, we produce parts for bigger companies. Bigger companies already have APIs, web portal, etc. We have people who often manually enter data.

Any time, a piece of paper is passed around or when people enter data manually you can either automate or improve the process. People are prone to errors.

Right now, I am rewriting a mission critical application, some trivial changes will save hours a week and improve the integrity of the information. It is not as exciting as writing algorithms but it is nice to see an application written by you used by 200+ people.

Re: "cloud applications will be written with cloud-friendly languages"

Carefull, you invest your code base on a "cloud-friendly" language and clouds then could fall out of style. That goes for other components as well.
I agree with this objection. If I use my land for a business, it stresses the government more than if I live on my land. My customers need a place to park (my neighborhood has on-street parking), the local housing crunch is made worse because I have to find another place to sleep, etc. And what if my business has externalities like pollution?
Since these satellites are in low earth orbit, the satellites currently overhead will be changing very frequently. It's possible the satellites will actually not transmit at all over certain countries. The receivers will also know their location based on what's currently overhead.

This is all technical assumptions at this point since the service isn't rolled out, but being in LEO instead of GEO simplifies things greatly.
It depends on what your alternatives are. My guess is that it's not worth it because you still have to pay the taxes an employer would and what an employee would - social security and income taxes. You can take a look at the calculator: https://www.calkoo.com/en/salary-calculator

The taxation system itself is very simple, if VAT isn't involved. You can just enter your annual income and the calculator will tell you all of the numbers. Just make sure you use the "salary/wage fund" as the income field for a freelancer.

One thing to keep in mind though is that countries where you actually perform the work usually want a piece of the pie. That can complicate things significantly.

That's what somebody told me about crypto in 2015, or for that matter about Google in 2009 and computer science in 2002.

There's always another train, right up until the point where everybody assumes that there'll always be another train and world domination is assured. At that point, it's time to hop on another track.

COBOL programming?
Do you have any plans to offer a solo professional type plan? ~$350/year and up is quite a lot more than I can justify for what I would use this for. Something like Automattic's Premium plan ($8/month) for a managed blog with a subscription system like this would be an easy sell for me.

I understand if that's a hard no. You seem to be aiming at people who are or plan to be big time enough to hire people to help. Getting people in who might head that way so they have an easy upgrade path might be good though. If I were the kind of person Patreon's top plan aims at, any Ghost plan would be an easy sell, but even thinking about that is a long way off for me.
Right now, the system works on a black and white "I was satisfied with this answer"/"I wasn't satisfied with this answer". If too many users note that they were continually unsatisfied with a particular answerer's answers, then I'm planning on handling that issue myself.

It does have it's own cert store. You can test your sites with testssl.sh [1] to see if they validate correctly. It only depends on openssl and bash. If you have your own self signed CA/certs, then you would have to import them into FF.

Interestingly, a multi-threaded web server is the final chapter of "The Rust Programming Language" (full code is at the end of https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch20-03-graceful-shutd... )

It ends up being pretty short, though we also build a threadpool by hand. If you used a package, it'd be even smaller. (I like scoped_threadpool myself) (And the FnBox stuff will go away once I write an update for it, it's no longer needed.)

It does the same: grab a connection, spawn the thread. There's virtually no borrowing.
> it's a market-maker that provides a venue for other vendors to sell stuff

That's not what a market maker is. A market maker is a market participant that guarantees to buy or sell something if no other buyer or seller can be found.

Providing a venue for others to sell stuff is a straightforward market transaction: Amazon sells its services to others for a price. There's nothing special about it, and standard Hayekian economics accounts for it just fine.

> Amazon doesn't set prices per se

To the extent this is true (as you say, for vendors that are not itself), it just reinforces the point I made above: that what Amazon is doing as a "marketplace as a service" is just a straightforward market transaction, selling services for a price, and does not give Amazon any sort of special status.

> Amazon is running a marketplace, not (just) being a vendor.

Running a marketplace, if it does not mean being a monopolist (which you are insisting it does not), is being a vendor, a vendor of particular services.

Is there a possibility of ...automating, this kind of automating?

I understand that, like regular application programming, a lot of this kind of automation comes down to requirements-gathering and formal specification of workflow.

But, in theory, could there be some kind of sufficiently-advanced software wizard that does most of your job? Maybe by monitoring entry-level employees' interactions with the software-to-be-automated over some period, and using that as a training input to a workflow guesser?

I'm not imagining that you could be cut out of the loop entirely, mind you, but rather that you'd reduce the human-interaction man-weeks part of your job down to a few hours of pairing with a domain expert to clean up the output of workflow-guesser into a final model.

I would for sure talk to your doctor about it. Normally your doctor can recommend medicine and services such as a psychologist(more talk therapy) or psychiatrist(more prescription based) that will work with them and be in your insurance network if that's a thing you need to worry about.

That said, I would do a lot of research before going in, but do see your doctor for sure. I say do research because depression can be a symptom of other things such as Bipolar type II or Cyclothymic disorder. Hypomania is the main hallmark that you would look into with those. I would also read and be prepared to talk to your doctor about anxiety symptoms as well as panic attack or ptsd symptoms. You may not have them but knowing the signs can help as depression can easily present with those, and you may need treatment for more than one thing to feel better.

Knowledge is power in this case. Jobs in IT and doctors are similar in some regards. Someone comes to us with a problem and we need to fix it. The more they know(symptom identification) and the better they can articulate why they think they may have some condition the easier it is to diagnose and fix a problem. Also both professions start with 'safe' treatments. We reboot the computer first, they try for pills or treatments with few to no side effects. We also go for the most obvious diagnoses first before getting into the esoteric,(the power is unplugged rather than the cable to supply power to the motherboard being bad) just like a doctor would go for depression rather than bipolar II for instance as that's the more common path.

I ran across this when I was suffering from some depression and was trying to see how other devs deal with it. It outlines some emotions and feelings about it, but also talks about bipolar type II and adhd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFIa-Mc2KSk

I hope this helps and feel free to reach out if you have questions. I'm still dealing with it myself so I get how hard it can be. It's not a failing of character or anything like that. It's a medical condition and should be monitored and treated as such by your doctor.

Hope you feel better soon!
