Microsoft can and does do this now in retaliation, they own enough web properties that this makes a difference. Firefox doesn’t have a huge web presence though, nothing anywhere on par with Google advertising their browser in their search engine and email client.

Unfortunately, from my experience many third party web developers only test in Chrome, and hence actually encourage Chrome use even when there’s no incompatibility with Firefox or Edge.
Usually the other orthogonal assessment in addition to severity is frequency. If the bug is unlikely to be seen during regular use then even if severity is high the priority might be lowered. This is usually how risk is managed in my experience.

Cuneiform tables [1] are one of those historical artifacts that I find fascinating. Some fun facts:

- Between 500,000 and 2,000,000 tablets have been found

- Less than 100,000 have been translated

- Cuneiform tablets date back to ~3500 BC

- Roughly 30,000 tablets were recovered from the royal archives at Hattusa (Hittite capital) [2] in central Turkey. This archive and the site probably survived because this ancient city was largely forgotten about until archaeologists discovered it in the 19th century.

- This archive produced the earliest known peace treaty between the Hittites and Egyptians

- These archives contain essentially the personal correspondence between Ramses II and the Hittite king [3]

- Cuneiform tablets have been one of the most important sources of written records from the ancient world [4]

> policy for its employees banning non-emergency use of mobile devices while driving

While this may be irrelevant to the current Tesla case, it's a big problem in general with all office workers. I know several people who will "join the meeting from their car" and set up a huge threat to their own safety, and that of people sharing the road with them.

If anyone reading this does it as well, or puts people working under them in a position where they feel they have to do it – please stop! The NTSB says so as well.
It's like straight out of Bolshevik handbook.

If you can catch a person stealing, it's open-shut case. Easy peasy.

If not, try to discredit them (appealing to the morals of the people) -- maybe they cheat on their spouse, or use prostitutes?

If that still doesn't work just try slapping an "enemy of the people" / fascist / reactionary label and see if it sticks.
Assuming you have a bug tracking system that has these two fields (most these days do not ime).
The severity is a technical assessment of the issue that the PM, who doesn't necessarily have a technical background, weighs against business needs to establish the priority. Once there is a priority, the severity has already served its purpose.
I guess the underlying source of confusion is that they're both measures of severity, but priority is severity from business viewpoint while severity is severity from the affected user's viewpoint.

A high priority bug that isn't fixed presumably has severe consequences for business (or it was prioritized wrong).

A high severity bug that isn't prioritized presumably has low consequences (severity) for business, but it probably really sucks for the unfortunate user who is affected.
Not sure I understand what you are denouncing ?

The fake vacancies I had in mind are not so malicious. But for the candidates, in aggregate, they are a waste of precious time and energy.

- Company has still opportunities on their website, in order to look healthy, when they are in fact laying everybody off (as is the case in the OP)

- Company publishes an offer for legal reasons, but in fact wants to hire a cheaper resource from abroad once they've "proven" that they "couldn't get any local talent"

- Company publishes non-urgent offer, in the hope to fish for resumes, and/or waits for years for the "perfect" talent to knock on their door

- Company forgot to take down vacancy, someone got hired 3 months ago
This seems like a setup that while a logical architecture decision, would be reliant upon really rock solid mobile broadband on the routes driven by its trucks. Like, seven nines reliable. I saw videos of their test setup with a driver at a desk workstation/"cockpit" which was driving a remote truck.

Imagine if a human needed to make a decision with less than a few seconds of reaction time, at freeway speeds, and the LTE network where the truck happened to be at that moment was having a hiccup.

It's much worse than a cargo drone that might have a 12-14 satellite GPS+GLONASS lock, that could be programmed to stop and hover in place, or retrace its flight path breadcrumb style back to base in the event of brief loss of WAN network connectivity. It's something with possibly 20,000 kilograms of mass moving at 70 mph with live humans in traffic all around it, and a lot of inertia.

It's an external technical problem that the company itself can't solve, because they're not in control of LTE/5G network operators, they don't make LTE radios/modems/antennas, etc. The only places that I'm aware of using fully remote driven trucks are giant open pit mines in western Australia, where the mining company fully owns and operates in-house the network linking the trucks.

I personally know very little about self driving technology, but working in network engineering, the idea of relying upon the normal publicly-accessible nationwide LTE network operators for something that could be a life-critical safety function really scares me. Even with a max-priority service like Firstnet on ATT it would be sketchy.

This is a good point. Demand flexibility is a great resource.

However, effectively zero consumers pay the spot price currently. Distribution utilities worry that time-varying electricity prices (1) are confusing to consumers (2) any change in rates triggers regulatory review and creates winners and losers (i.e. some bills go up, others go down).

I work with utilities, and we are seeing a lot more interest in time of use and dynamic pricing. I think EVs will help a lot with socializing time-varying prices. Incentivizing consumers to charge at night is hugely beneficial for everyone, which means you can roll it out to consumers in a way that always reduces costs, making it feel less punitive than a time-varying rate that otherwise might help or hurt.

I think the formula should be - severity * (how widespread is this) - ease of workaround = priority. So if any of those measures change (e.g. an easy workaround is discovered, it's determined that the bio page that is crashing is also almost never viewed) then the priority should be adjusted. Having just severity without a measure of 'how many people does this impact?' and 'just how badly does this impact them?' seems like it's missing part of the picture.
I’ve started doing this. In the case of CCPA, GDPR disclosures and “do not track” requirements I suggest uninstalling Chrome and all Google software and switching to Firefox with proper as locking software enabled. I think Google is compliant with neither, and if a user is actually concerned about their privacy they definitely shouldn’t be using Chrome.

> In what way is that an issue of 'critical severity'? The quoted text contains an explanation of why it is not.

The only reason would be this: given a large enough enterprise you have one person categorizing a bug as a crash and another making the call on whether that crash is actually worth prioritizing, a decision made on another day at another pay grade in another time zone. In this case it might be clear, but in the next case it might be "the configuration page crashes if the region is France". I as a developer don't know and I don't care that we haven't even launched the product in France so I just want to mark the issue as a very severe crash. Somewhere above my head the can call this low prio because the product launch in France is still a year out. This is enterprise backlog massage for enterprise workflows.

The problem with keeping using Facebook and other scum (even with anti-tracking countermeasures) is that it still means you're giving them the legal right to stalk you by agreeing to their ToS and privacy policy. You can argue that the policies aren't compliant with the law (and indeed they are not) but it's up to you to prove that and get someone to care about it (most data protection agencies don't).

In contrast, not using the services nor having an account means the company has no legal basis on which to stalk me and process my data. Not saying they can't do it, but at least it is 100% clear that they are breaking the law, as opposed to having to argue the technicalities of their policies.
It's because 14 days incubation time. It will take 14 days until number start to pick up from the initial infection in new area.

Basically absolutely nothing will happen, except maybe your country's foreign ministry wagging a finger at US, if that.
The variety of disciplines and sleep deprivation is only about 2 years early in the training. After that the training is highly focused, and again only 2 years or so are sleep deprived. And today, the majority of doctors in practice are less than 20 years from their training. You make it sound like doctors are an outdated mass of idiots, and I can only assume your personal experiences have biased you.

The real training is objectivity, which is very difficult for even doctors to maintain, despite knowing just how misleading research results can be and so how they must be wary, how to rationally follow the literature, etc.

I seriously doubt more than single-digit percentages of people googling things, even intelligently, are going to be following citations and weighing competing models. Likely less than a fraction of one percent. And, unless they have personally done similar research and so can understand the data and potential pitfalls more clearly, even that enlightened fraction is highly likely to make some biased misinterpretation.

How can they not, when it is their own health they are investigating? Even a genius layperson examining the literature flawlessly would benefit from an interpretation provided by a neutral third party.
My friends and I are creating new, bite-sized, interactive ways to visualize the impact we have as a species, and we were shocked by how much of a difference it makes to actually see the data in a concrete, tangible way vs. just reading the numbers. We have three so far:

1) Killed for Food shows you the number of animals killed per second by humans for food. Scroll all the way to the bottom.

2) Mother Earth is a game in the vein of paperclip maximizer and pandemic, where you play as Mother Earth and need to save the humans from mass extinction.

3) Spend that Green is a playful exercise in spending a millennial's personal carbon budget, backed up by horrifyingly real numbers.

We've had a lot of fun building these! Would love feedback.
>This sounds like exactly the sort of feature that usually triggers an online Lynch mob when it's Mozilla doing it

It's true, but I also think that people who pile on Mozilla when they do such things wouldn't touch Brave with a 10 foot pole to begin with so they don't really care much about it. From the start Brave's core proposition is to be more intrusive by default by shipping an ad-blocker, their ad system and a few other things. You're buying into that when you install the browser. This particular change doesn't seem out of line for them.

After all most of Brave's features (including this very one) are one extension away in Firefox, which is one of the main reasons I don't understand why anybody would bother with Brave especially if the goal is to avoid browser monoculture.
This same tough decision-making process will play out thousands of times in the next few months.

Any event that draws an international crowd poses an elevated risk. You can't know where people have been or what kind of screening process has been applied. If you're planning on attending a tech conference with an international crowd, now is the time to reconsider.

The possibility of asymptomatic transmission through casual contact poses unprecedented challenges. As does the low number of cases on which to draw information from outside of China.

The problem right now is the extremely poor quality on the information around the disease. Maybe this thing will behave like other infections and "burn itself out" as summer in the northern hemisphere approaches. Maybe it won't. There's quite literally no way to know.
This is just not true... What Google is concerned about is decades of bad behavior by Microsoft. Prior to the last decade Microsoft used embrace, extend and extinguish very aggressively to take control over nearly 96% of the desktop market and web platform via IE6. It's only fair the same developers who worked on Netscape, IE, Mozilla and now Chrome should be a little concerned with the history and motivations of a company such as MS. There is a reason people refer to them as M$. All that said, I think the world has changed and IMO Edge migrating to Chromium rendering engine is a really great thing and most likely these fears are mis-placed since the incentives are more aligned for MS to want to benefit from the web platform with Azure and Bing driving more $$ to the company now days... So maybe MS can be aligned with Google and focus on a better web platform.

I think it's helpful to think of how bad a cosmetic issue could be. For example, imagine that it's a big launch of a product people will be using in stores worldwide and the cosmetic issue is that the logo now consistently looks like a sex act because of missing letter or development art left inside the release. Also imagine that that act is relevant to a recent revelation in the news about the CEO's personal life.

Which do you think the CEO cares about more, the logo or the fact that it crashes sometimes on an infrequently accessed menu?

You're grossly misinformed. The China outbreak was so strong initially because they had no idea what they were dealing with. The spread and infection is invisible for weeks. There are many people spreading Coronavirus as we speak without knowing a thing.

Korea, Iran and Italy all have major outbreaks which only revealed themselves this week, but likely began 2-3 weeks prior. Iran has clearly no idea how many cases are in its country, its numbers are 15 deaths and <100 cases. That's over 15% death rate. Makes no sense compared to all other reported number, their real total cases are likely over 1000.

Muellers report doesn't say so, I've read the whole thing from cover to cover and they do talk about him a lot. Yes, he was useful for Russia, just like he was when the American liberals hailed him as a hero and next Jesus when he was beneficial for them, shat on Bush, leaked Palin's emails etc. All politics are full of hypocritical behavior but Americans sure put it to next level, possibly because of the two party system, but I personally couldn't care less about it. It's sickening and vile.
The entire point of driver licensing is to "protect people from their own stupidity" by teaching them how to drive. Now you have companies using nudge-nudge-wink-wink terms like "Autopilot" that purport to be able to drive the car for you, while also saying in their EULA or whatever that actually, it doesn't work like that.

I think it's quite reasonable, from a point of view of preventing false advertising to stop this. Removing all references to "Autopilot" and similar and replacing them with sensible descriptions like "Driver Steering Assist" like the other car manufacturers are using would definitely satisfy me.
Tech can't remember what to do in a down market
Agreed. I spent some time making a calculator [0] to help me understand what matters when it comes to energy consumption. This made it very clear that by far the best way most consumers can make a difference is just to stop buying stuff. In the west we get away with 'low'(er) emissions because we import a huge amount of CO2 though imported goods - maps of total energy consumption are quite interesting here [1]

Stopping buying stuff is hard for most people, and I think the key is to stop _wanting_ stuff. Sadly I think consumption-driven society is incredibly deeply ingrained. I mean, most people seem to devote large proportions of their life pursuing unnecessary luxury goods. This is the mindset that needs to change - and particularly be reversed as we bring up the next generation. A fundamental shift is needed in what people are 'pursuing'.

Fair point regarding it perhaps not being a token article. What I was trying to express is the lack of attention the trial is receiving, no one I know has mentioned it because the media has decided not to give it any obvious coverage, obvious in the sense that people realise it is something that is currently happening. The Guardian has chosen many mundane subjects to grace it's homepage that I think most readers would agree are much lower on the importance scale. Someone at the organisations has obviously decided "yes, we need to cover it, but just do the minimum we have to to appear to not be ignoring it"
