Biggest dig I have on Firefox is that Dark Reader runs pretty poorly on it compared to Chrome, particularly on complex Google-owned websites like Gmail, and I can't go back to white-background-by-default anymore.

It'd also be nice if Apple actually allowed third party browsers as first-class citizens, because not having content-blocking support in iOS Firefox makes it a non-starter.

Otherwise, Quantum-based Firefox is objectively a better browser IMO. I like the extension store better, and in general it seems to work more smoothly for me. If my company weren't stuck on Google Apps where Chrome's blurring of login is actually useful, I'd use Firefox all the time. As it is, I use it as my "personal login" browser everywhere other than my phone and tablet.

(ObDisclaimer: I used to work for Mozilla half a decade ago, but I definitely would not have praised the pre-Quantum version the same way. It had fallen way behind the curve.)

Not true in the slightest.
TOML is what I'd naturally write as notes if I wanted to document how something is working.

YAML is all sorts of strange.

JSON needs comments and support for trailing commas. Since that isn't going to happen.... TOML!
This reminds me of an old joke about binary XML:

<byte>
<bit>1</bit> <bit>1</bit> <bit>0</bit> <bit>1</bit>
<bit>0</bit> <bit>1</bit> <bit>1</bit> <bit>0</bit>
</byte>

>It's easy to make a concise representation of DOM trees as JSON: http://m1el.github.io/jsonht.htm

It is not concise. Here is an example of a single div tag overhead:

["div",{"class":"some classes"}, ... ]

<div class="some classes"> ... </div>

Also, it does not represent DOM trees as JSON. It represents DOM trees as S-Exressions encoded via JSON. The s-expression above can be written directly as:

(div (class= "some classes") ... )

So why does it need to be wrapped in a format that's verbose, underspecified, doesn't have comments, doesn't have namespaces and doesn't have any notion of metadata?
Yes, exactly. Usenet is an absolutely unsurpassed form of Internet discussion.

Slippery slope arguments take into consideration the very human capacity to become accustomed to a certain boundary, and then seek to push beyond that boundary. For good or ill, look at the progression of rights leading to the current transgender/feminist argument over what constitutes a woman. 50 years ago that would not have even been a discussion.

You would be hard-pressed to ever see a government give ground where once they have asserted authority. Only encroaching further into our rights.
> That's another topic, why can't the EU sort them out?

What do you think the EU should even do about this, based on which principles? To me this is entirely unclear.

There is no right to secede from a country, in fact, the territory is usually part of the identity of a country, also legally speaking.
They need to give the source code to the recipients of the binaries who are then free to release the source code (or not) as they see fit.
Yep, you're correct that we're using observational studies via a regression to remove confounders and estimate treatment effects. Our confounders are synthetically generated based on the observable variables - we can only make projections of course on digital signals our customers send us (we only use first party data). We are working to incorporate actual experiment data into the algorithm over time as well, to get even closer to the true causal treatment effect.
I think that Intel’s cpu complexity (and arm and for that matter RISC v CPUs) is that they are designed to speed up existing software. Software that was written 50 years ago on simpler machines. Starting from scratch is not as complex as you might think if running existing software at “native” speed isn’t a requirement.

>What if it just was a suicide?

It makes absolutely no difference.

The only thing they had to do was to keep him alive, and given his health, it was not a hard thing to do. If there were no benefactors, it would've been criminal incompetence. As it stands, incompetence is as likely as if he got killed by an anvil falling from the sky.

To paraphrase: it's as if I gave you a new iPhone to keep for a day, and you returned empty-handed and told me someone stole it from you... because you left it on the edge of the platform at a NYC subway station for the night and (surprise!) it wasn't there in the morning!

In this scenario, it makes no difference whether your friend took it, someone else took it, or it got knocked onto the tracks by accident. What matters is that you ensured that I don't have my phone back.

And that's what happened in the Epstein case. His keepers facilitated his death. The exact manner is irrelevant.
> It's a case of people care enormously but they feel powerless and they feel alone in their caring.

It's interesting that we live in the most connected age ever where creating, building, and coordinating social movements has never been easier or more possible yet the labor movement and unions are dying, consumer protections and regulations are inadequate, privacy protections are nonexistent and constitutionally protected freedoms are flagrantly ignored and bypassed. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it seems like every social movement and organization that fought for the rights of the average person up until around the time of the free speech movement got much more accomplished while overcoming much more than we'd have to deal with now.
CNN rejecting Trump ads is akin to Fox rejecting Warren ads given how they are politically aligned. Facebook is trying to be neutral here and let people (and journalists who will write on such ads) decide vs. trying to come in with their own judgment. This has been happening on TV/Print ads for decades now.
Rolling back worked for me, but the workaround is using the USB-C to HDMI dongle. (and I think I needed the dongle to downgrade.)
That’s quite a few assumptions to make. Notably that a prison with such high profile prisoners is fine with cameras that break regularly, but don’t permanently break—just small periods of time, and nobody ever considered to get such a strange problem fixed.

If those cameras failed often, I’m sure they’d have countless hours of videos that spontaneously cut off as proof.

Why Letting Your Kids Play on Your Smart Phone Is Such a Magnificent Choice
Not radical changes but just expect some common sense being applied.
Over the last decade housing prices has doubled and the city receives a small percentage for each transactions. However this money did benefit only for the whole community but rather for clientlism. Debt has been getting higher and so the taxes. Driving has been made impossible and restaurants are too expensing for the similar service and quality you can get in London ( where I live now). Even the nightlife has been restricted
Paris is becoming a big sleepy museum where only real Parisians do appreciate the lifestyle.
Again I more disappointed here by the lack original idea And innovation promised by the candidate not by the mathematician. If you look at what the current mayor propose and you will find nothing that different.

However I'm sure you will enjoy your Parisian experience, despite all the inconvenience, Paris is still a beautiful city.

Testesterone decline begins at 30, regardless of the marital status. https://www.menshormonalhealth.com/normal-testosterone-level... This corroborates (in the correlational sense) my original statement.

To those who silently downvoted it: is it politically incorrect to talk about cognitive decline at any age in general, or only starting from a particular age? If 40 was too early, what is the allowed age? 65? 85?

To be fair Twitter already has a lot of prohibitions in place for ads, many of them very subjective (e.g. Hateful Content and Inappropriate Content) so the free speech boat sailed a long time ago.

There was a campaign finance law in 1971 that went all the way to the US Supreme Court. In Buckley v. Valeo, the US Supreme Court ruled that campaign finance laws are freedom of speech, in that without such laws, the every day person is restricted from being heard when the wealthy are allowed to use money beyond what the common person can pay. Because of this, the court upheld limits on contributions to candidates ruling campaign finance is legal, as long as it is limited to an amount everyone can participate in.

From the Supreme Court: "The Court affirmed a First Amendment interest in spending money to facilitate campaign speech, writing, "A restriction on the amount of money a person or group can spend on political communication during a campaign necessarily reduces the quantity of expression by restricting the number of issues discussed, the depth of their exploration, and the size of the audience reached." Further, the law's "$1,000 ceiling on spending 'relative to a clearly identified candidate,' would appear to exclude all citizens and groups except candidates, political parties, and the institutional press from any significant use of the most effective modes of communication."

The Court upheld limits on contributions to candidates.

For more information checkout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckley_v._Valeo

edit: In 2002 there was another campaign finance law that went to the Supreme Court, again for freedom of speech. In McConnell v. FEC, the court ruled, "the need to control corruption overshadowes any minor threat to free speech".
I am suspicious of the North Korea attack as this attack requires a more sophisticated attack method which automatically limits the suspects to US, Russia, Israel, Germany, UK and France.

The CIA actively worked to undermine the Indian nuclear program over decades. So would not be surprised if they still had the infrastructure in place to carry out these attacks as well.

This attack had to have boots on the ground to pull off and some sort of insider access as well.
This may be changing somewhat as people live longer. The average age for nobel prize work is around 48, but many scientists are productive their whole lives.

Since most software development isn't anywhere near nobel or turing-class difficulty, age discrimination policies in hiring and firing make more sense in the context of other factors such as a desire for cheaper workers, trying to avoid retraining costs, and a desire for workers with minimal family or outside commitments (and no interest in work-life balance) as well as fewer health issues.
I always wonder where DJs get the instrumental versions to sample/mix.
The main thing I miss about "old" internet is personality. With Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram you'll always have the same boring page design around your posts no matter who you are. Sure the content you post will get your personality across fairly well, but just like with art it's not only the painting that matters, but also the frame.

It's one of the two main reasons[1] why I vastly prefer Tumblr over the three aforementioned sites. It lets you create a page that's your own to customize how you like. And that makes it much more personal and interesting than Twitter and Instagram imo. I really wish those sites would start letting users customize their pages more than just by changing their profile pictures and header images.

[1]: The other being the ability to view all posts from people you follow in a sequential order instead of having some algorithm decide which posts you should see.

> The First Amendment is about government suppression of speech

It is exactly that, but that doesn't actually end the real conversation people are trying to have.

Do we support the idea that the govt shouldn't restrict speech, but that we as society should? There are a lot of "chilling" effects seen in history.

On other hand, TOTALLY unrestricted speech is a completely different ball of wax, complete with plenty of hairballs in there. There's the ever-present (yet valid) "what about child porn", but there's also a lot of the issues that are arising in recent years with explicitly false statements and representations designed to influence the average person. Sure, such statements can't survive enough research, but it's easy enough to make it hard to research, to create conventional wisdom that is just wrong. Society where we cannot trust "facts" cannot sustain - it will fracture into separate societies in which trust CAN be held.

And on the gripping hand, we have those that argue for truly unrestricted speech in words, but actually just have confidence that their viewpoint will win out, not by virtue of reason and logic but by virtue of fear and hate.

When I was young, I believed in absolute free speech. I'd quote Voltaire, I'd defend any attempt to allow communication, even that which made me uncomfortable, but I did it for noble reasons. A lot of my more liberal views came about because I supported the efforts of those that made me uncomfortable to express themselves. Nowadays, despite those personal growths, having seen how much we CAN'T handle truly free speech, I'm much more hesitant.

Clearly excessive suppression of speech, be it from the govt or be it from society, is terrible. But now I'm horrified to see that truly restricted speech just empowers demagogues. It ends up not being truly free speech either, as it creates fear of reprisals that can't be proven. It promotes the name of speech while restricting the ideal.

We need to discuss what our true objective is. We can't find the line yet, perhaps we never will, but perhaps we can narrow down the grey area a bit.

But right now, we have the believers in unrestricted speech as a noble ideal, with users of unrestricted speech to restrict ideas hidden among them, arguing with those that are fine with the govt not restricting speech but wanting social protections, with a decently large group that is wondering if keeping the govt out fully and leaving it to social repercussions is perhaps flawed that also joins in.

Saying "the first amendment only restricts the govt" is a fine statement about the current law. It doesn't address anyone's actual concerns though.
GPL haters seem to have the mistaken impression that GPL software authors want lots of for-profit companies to use their work. If that were true, the authors would use a BSD or MIT license.

Exactly! You can only extrapolate statistical observations to identical scenarios but we know that every aspect of this universe has a great degree of variation and is anything but uniform. Statistics breaks down when you cannot ensure uniformity.
> ...organizing the world's information...

Wikipedia is even pushing further forward on that vision with Wikidata, a general-purpose knowledge base that's perhaps the most successful example of such a thing, succeeding where many other efforts have failed dismally. (Already, Wikidata gets more edits per minute than Wikipedia, albeit much of the activity is performed by bots.) It's also a successful use of Linked-Open-Data and Semantic-Web technologies (the Wikidata site hosts a SPARQL endpoint, for general queries of all sorts), so while it might not be "Old Web" per se, it feels quite retro-futuristic in many ways.

And of course, all the well-known personal assistant AI's rely on it quite a bit, although they're not eager to advertise that fact.
Judges selected by the Spanish government.

If the trial was fair, why is the majority of the sentence an explanation about how fair they were? One doesn't need to explain how clean they are, they just need to be clean.

Why were policemen allowed to explain their fears, but not the defense witnesses?

Why were only some of the defense witnesses warned that omitting the truth would be considered perjury but no single accusation witness was? The Spanish politicians were really withholding a lot.

The minister in charge of taxes said, on the trial, that there wasn't an euro unaccounted for. So where is the mishandling of money? The law was stretched thin on this.
Although I'm male, I live my life surrounded by women and have a large focus on women's issues. I also see the writing on the wall: IVF technologies that are being developed today will further erode the value of men in most if not all non-socially conservative societies. I predict large numbers of women in single, cohabitating, or lesbian arrangements having children together because large numbers of men have proven themselves insufferable. I certainly know I have demonstrated as much in the past.

Men capable of rethinking their relationship with women and what it means to be a male, rather than a man, I imagine will do fine in the coming social upheaval.
Interesting that the pie chart in the article omits Oracle - which was actually the #1 DB in the survey results. Not that I'm a fan of Oracle at all, but it makes me wonder.

ads are nothing but propaganda, someone trying to sell something it could be good or bad.

I see twitter where there are fake profiles and their posts. twitter allows anyone to register with a fake email using services like mailinator and continue spreading lies. They should be banned.

I think ads are okay as we have been manipulated by ads via media newspaper etc. no one questions them, what about the news reporter who is biased and writes news like the ads. Atleast the ads we know are ads and sane person can determine based on history that ads are not truth.
>Indeed, the marginal cost per flight could fall to $5m or below, reducing launch costs to the neighborhood of $35/kg, or 1000x less than Shuttle.

The keyword here is "marginal". You can achieve the $35/kg if you only account for the fuel. In other words, the entire rocket must be retrieved intact and launched again with no maintenance whatsoever.

In reality, this will never happen and most likely the cost will be a few hundred dollars per kilogram. For Falcon 9, this number is still above $2000/kg, but even that is way better than other existing launch systems.
And every species I can choose from has a seemingly random selection of benefits and problems (and all of them have several issues I listed above) with no clear optimization for any particular human use. Wood isn't a bad material on its own, but trees are a bad tech to produce this kind of material (again due to several issues I listed above).

Being good at what it does is somewhat negated by the other problems it creates, and the fact that some problems it solves are only needed for other suboptimal biological constructs in the first place. There are better ways to provide shade. There are better ways buffer wind. It's good at retaining soil and habitat...only for other biological constructs that suffer from similar problems. I'd be disappointed if our vision of the future is akin to really good soil retainers. Future tech shouldn't need soil at all.

I suspect this sort of nature-fawning is some kind of evolutionary bias; we find beauty in natural biology because we evolved to rely on it. Nature can certainly teach us a thing or two in a way that only millions of years of natural selection can, but tech that we control, optimize, and understand (ie. tech we can actually engineer) should eventually beat it in value.
The entire problem in the UK is that digital ads are almost completely unregulated (or regulated so pathetically as to be unregulated).

No, but I sure bet Twitter wants to have the Safe Harbor protections. By deciding (editing) what is posted on the site, they would seem to forfeit the protections.
Overall production declines but relative levels have a greater variance when one isn't "mated". Also other hormones, all of which contribute to "impressing a potential mate".
> I've taken to appending "reddit" to many of my search queries, because flawed though it is, reddit is one of the few places you can read an actual human thought.

Same. It's the only place to find the sort of genuine, informed opinion that used to be common on the first page of Google results, on a wide variety of topics, without an awful lot of digging.
But (as I attempted to convey above) the Ivies already provide housing/food/health care for free for students that qualify for the need (if the family income is under a reasonable threshold). The problem is that if you are poor, your statistically inferior K12 education puts you at a disadvantage when applying to college. We need a version of your Harry Potter solution to be for the actual Harry Potter age group (K12 education).
