Yeah, that's my point. Pale Moon's developers forked a complex project and are now asking people to not use things that the mainline project now supports just fine.

Checks written, can't cash, etcetera.
Is it being entitled wanting to be entertained by a piece of art or media?

That is its very purpose.
I highly encourage you to talk to people who have worked in unions for 20, 30 years. The unions set a lot of rules, those rules can be confusing, and unions tend to take hours from newer people so that older people can have them. Unions can also force people into overtime (as much as any other employer). That's not to say that all unions are bad, but unions are not wholesale good nor evil, they're simply a different mechanism.

Amazon likewise is it's own mechanism, and it seems to vary heavily depending on the warehouse. From the workers I've talked with in our local warehouses, they typically like it - but our warehouses are also open for tours so they probably get treated a bit better than others.
> Can you explain how your job is directly related to the company's stock trading price? Not being sarcastic are something, just genuinely curious?

It’s indirectly related through the executives who make decisions that are primarily motivated by the stock price.
Interesting topic about possible death of Pale Moon because of that specification and their inability to adopt it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/palemoon/comments/fk4fnl/attention_...

Who knows the Palemoon team realizes pretty fast that when the developer is writing something like that here - https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24004

that it has the meaning that they can't move forward or have serious issues in attempting to do so. Google-Web-components... The next BIG thing in web development which is used in Youtube and other big pages will be most likely Palemoons undoing. Without it - no more videos on Youtube! Media and business sites are no longer loaded and can't be used properly, buttons can't be pressed anymore so pages are partly or fully broken! This is what more and more pages adopt, as it is the NEXT BIG THING! The Palemoon team failed in the past to implement highly complex features and the only solution so far was in the end to adopt fresh engines from Mozilla on a regular base, something which is NO LONGER POSSIBLE as future Firefox engines have not the features the Palemoon team sees as vital! Get slowly ready to start the search for a new browser to which you can switch in the near future - the best and most logical time in doing so is NOW!

Additionally - regarding this whole topic: https://freenode.logbot.info/binaryoutcast/20200314

WHY it most likely will die... While we all should be grateful for Gaming4JC and his attempts to bring over some code lately - Google Web components is TOO BIG - Seamonkey guys don't have it inside their new new 2.53 - which is based on Firefox 56. Waterfox - using the same code - also has issues. And if it is already problematic with Firefox 56 based code... how big is the chance to succeed with Firefox 52 based code? With the help of only one skilled guy? My suggestion is try as much as other possible browsers now to make the switch when it is forced on you as less annoying as possible.
I think this is one of these situations in which doing nothing has a higher cost than doing something, even if that something(give people money for free) is generally bad in most circumstances.
> Since the administration wants to prop up the markets, this also helps accomplish their goals.
situation is something like:

Stock price going down means market expects less profit

Directors who can react to this change and minimise loss or find opportunities, should.

This can be increasing revenue (assuming that's tough, otherwise the stock price wouldnt be tanking), or reducing cost (some development work created, a lot of other work lost, including dev / management)
Finally getting around to coding that side project that kept getting pushed to the back burner.

This is a specific instance of the general strategy I call "PARSE" which is an acronym for Positive Actions Reasoned Service Experiments. Positivity comes first because negativity is a terrible and ever present trap, actions are fundamentally different from plans and rumination, reason because it is always worth stepping back to make sure what you are doing actually makes sense, service because being fully human means helping others, and experiments because ultimately anything you can do is just an attempt to try something out that will lead to examination of results and honing of observations, methods, ideas, and so on.

Because Corporate knows they are going to fuck with franchisees on occasion and they want people who can weather that kind of abuse. A SIL of mine is a district manager of one of the largest MD franchisees in the region and she has some stories about how corporate tends to make the franchises pay for their mistakes. It's usually forcing the stores to take more food than they could possibly sell, but sometimes includes things like buying equipment for menu offerings that they never see a positive ROI on and is later discontinued.

You can absolutely make money running an Mickey Ds, but you have to run a very tight ship to do it.

I mean, I don't know that it should, but my understanding is that when the stock price dips, and investors start wanting a return for their investment, executives look for quick ways to decrease spending, thus increasing profit (at least in the short term).

One of the easiest thing to do to lower spending is to cut some workers and push their work onto the remaining workers. It's not an ideal situation for anyone, except maybe the executives.
Good reliable rail is good. High speed rail is the only replacement for air travel though. If you have two large cities 3h by car apart, you can just barely beat that by flying (depending on how big the airport is and whether it's reasonable secureity e.g. come to airport 30min before departure or TSA style 2 hours before). A train is often longe than the highway.

You don't even necessarily need special high speed rail, just more rail makes it more high speed because you can mix slow and fast traffic (e.g. no-stop direct trains can run side by side with freight and services that makes 10 stops).

Speed doesn't have to come up so much to at least beat road traffic.
Simply an excuse for "We can't successfully implement it, our browser is becoming incompatible with a large part of current web, so please do not use it to make us happy"!

Result - they are going to die and losing hope and faith, like the link here describes. Read especially the IRC link where they discuss things like that with their "ecmascript guy" Gaming4JC - who has the task... WITHOUT ADDITIONAL HELP" to make Pale Moon "COMPATIBLE WITH TODAYS WEB" - honestly... what a joke....

Why is this the truth? They failed in the past with implementing stuff on their own, and they had to use new Firefox variants to re-base their UI towards them.

As there is not a way of going forward anymore without losing all their customization abilities, they are screwed as webcomponents is such a breaking point in time again where they can't succeed on their own because of their team missing guys who successfully would be able to implement stuff like this - uses Rust/Stylo/Servo - and that is way too complicated to them and they miss all the necessary knowledge how to convert it to their current codebase of Firefox 52!
there is so much hyperbole here. Massively reorganize our way of life? Lets keep perspective. We're talking about building some temporary hospitals, temporarily increasing our respiratory support. This isn't the Spanish Flu. We have months of data showing so. Millions won't die.
Sitting at home reading a book may not feel like a real job, but it is a job! In this unique situation, the government is asking/requiring people to stay home and alter behaviors. It is not a free handout for doing nothing. People giving up jobs and staying home and doing nothing is serving a purpose of not spreading the virus. People should be compensated for that service.

Perfectly readable with Javascript disabled (or NoScript in my case)
I bought the original version but found that some PDF files absolutely destroyed it. Not massive files where each page is a scanned picture, just regular PDFs from academic journals. I'd open one, it would spend 20+ seconds displaying the "working" spinner, then often as not it would reboot. Had to return it.

I was also pretty shocked that there was no way to get a list of all annotations you've added to a given PDF; I really wanted a way to read through a book making notes as I went, then get an overview of where I'd made notes. Even a way to bookmark a given page would have been useful.

Fix those two issues and it would have been a great device for me; the page size was juuuust big enough to display pretty much any book at a readable size.

The thing that kills me is that they forked a pretty bad (at the time) browser core to make Goanna, then the parent of the fork got way better and left them in the dust.

I would actively block Pale Moon if I thought I worked with people silly enough to use a slow single-process browser in 2020. (Instead of a moderately slow multi-process browser. But I digress.)
There is a bit more to be said about how wall st places more value on layoffs than other adjustments to a company's balance sheet. Employees are seen as a generally ugly long term money sink.
I don't think my entire IT department could figure it out in a disaster scenario
All jobs at a publicly traded company are related to stock price. When a company goes public its primary duty is to the stockholders. So in times of hardship it has to reduce cost to increase income / stock price. The primary way of doing this is layoffs.
The media/political response is a giant hoax.

Read the source paper from the CDC our corporate and political leaders are using to justify the panic: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/rr/rr6601a1.htm and appendix 5 https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/44314

From the evidence section of appendix 5:

"Mandatory quarantine delayed the peak of the pandemic, but when cost was taken into account, mandatory quarantine was not an economically effective intervention against the 2009 H1N1 pandemic"

Isolations only delay the peak, they don't prevent it, and the wreak havoc on the economy. Plus all the curve flattening talk are just poorly written computer simulations. Zero evidence it will happen.

From the paper here are the key objectives of isolation, none of which apply to covid-19 in the USA (unless hospitals are adding tens of thousands of new beds, respirators, and nurses in the next few weeks).

"Objective 1: To gain time for an initial assessment of transmissibility and clinical severity of the pandemic virus in the very early stage of its circulation in humans (closures for up to 2 weeks)

Objective 2: To slow down the spread of the pandemic virus in areas that are beginning to experience local outbreaks and thereby allow time for the local health care system to prepare additional resources for responding to increased demand for health care services (closures up to 6 weeks)

Objective 3: To allow time for pandemic vaccine production and distribution (closures up to 6 months)"
Fair enough, should have sensed the sarcasm.

There are too many APIs released at neck-breaking speed, often poorly designed and rushed.

See Google's own Web Api tracking page [1] Chrome adds almost 1000 new APIs per year Only last year they added over 500 APIs that are not present in other browsers, and pretend they are standard and will not remove them even if other browsers are not going to implement them due to multiple explicitly voiced concerns.

So yeah, no. Your news at eleven is misleading at best.

On the topic of hiring 100k workers, how is amazon planning to safely manage such a large increase in a physically-present workforce when all the current suggestions are to prevent large gatherings and isolate?
We need both - some kinds of applications need direct hardware access. But the kernel attack surface is huge, even with seccomp and friends.

An app on my smartphone or - much worse - an Electron app "sandboxed" in a flatpak on my desktop has access to far wider range of dangerous APIs than a web application. What's wrong with a browser as a high-level OS?
Ask HN: Camera / software recommendations for board games via video conference
Given the special circumstances, we have a demand for kids playing board games with their grandparents over Skype/Zoom etc.
A simple webcam attached to a music stand works for games like chess, but for things with a larger board the resolution is not sufficient.
Ideally, I would want high pixel resolution, but the time resolution (fps) can be rather low. But Skype/Zoom does not seem to be optimized for this use case.

Does anyone have experience with such a setup? I am looking for both hardware and software ideas.

I don't think it will make sense if a lot of landlords start kicking out restaurants and small business, or a bunch of residential tenants start getting evicted.

Why? It's not like they'll find people to replace them in paying the rent. Everything will be shut down. Just hit the pause button.
Actually, I think that things which get thrown into bags on a regular basis face more stresses than a phone in your pocket.

It could be jostling around with corners of large books, laptops, cables, random containers, etc. It can also have more space to accelerate when you swing your bag around, whereas a phone is held firmly your leg when you run/jump/etc.

Durability in a bag is what separates great electronics manufacturers from decent ones. If I buy something and it doesn't survive bag life for several months, which is quite common, then I write off the manufacturer as a creator of fragile throw-away devices. But I've never had a phone have any sort of problem from pocket stresses.
As it currently stands the UK still has the EU 48hr working week so you can opt out of working more than 48hrs and in theory not be punished for it, in practice enforcing that has been hit and miss over the years with punitive measures been hard to prove at times.
Thanks for the reference, that's a very succinct explanation. For those on mobile, here's the answer from Yang's plan:

Why? The price of the stocks does not affect company in any way. If the company sales are going down or clients stop coming this is an issue, stock value is important only for those who hold/speculate using them. You company has already got the money from selling stocks, nobody is going to take them away.
Issue with not giving it to everyone is that a large portion of people with a good, financially secure job could find themselves unemployed in a week or so as layoffs ramp up. We are going to see massive layoffs in the next few weeks, especially in retail, food services, travel and entertainment.

In addition, we should be flooding individuals and households with money right now to ensure survival. An over payment of 10% is far less harmful than an underpayment of the same amount.
some great thoughts here on how to keep interviews consistent, etc.

That first paragraph is a hell of whipsaw. It's not inflationary, you need to prove it is inflationary, and even if it is inflationary it doesn't matter.

UBI as a policy is trivially putting lots of money into circulation, so it's not unreasonable for people to be worried that would be inflationary.

Venezuela is a great example of the problems of inflation, which is a big concern with UBI as a policy, that's what it has to do with UBI.

Under normal circumstances, we could make it opt-in. This was a stipulation of Andrew Yang's UBI policy.

It could be argued that under current circumstances, creating an opt-in mechanism might increase administrative complexity. That said, I imagine you still need a simple mechanism to figure out eligibility. Do non-citizens qualify? Permanent residents? Short-term visitors? International students? Only people with SSNs?

So if there's going to be an administrative layer anyway, the difficulty of adding an opt-in mechanism to that layer would be marginal.
It's not a rule i've read on any Italian report. There was a doctor in Bergamo who said that they might have to do that in an interview and it was misreported in the international media. (I'm Italian living abroad) the Italian healthcare system is regularly listed in the top 10 in the world and Lombardy is usually number 1 in Italy. They are building a massive facility in one of the exhibition centers in Milan, it's tough but they're doing amazing work, from what I read and what I hear from people. I am much more worried for my friends in the USA..

Pretty big news and says a lot about the state of the situation if even Amazon can't keep up (yes, with stocking, not shipping, but still).
Terrible link, the actual reMarkable website is much better.

It's a very niche device but I've owned mine for nearly two years and am a big advocate. In some ways, the first model was proof of concept. Excellent hardware and writing experience, but the early versions of the software were horrible, and the device itself is very ugly. The software has improved dramatically in the time I've owned it, going from horrible to bad, then to almost acceptable, and now it's decent.

I'm happy to see the company is doing well enough to make a second generation reality. Looks like it will be an overall improved experience, with a magnetic marker, a slick-looking device and overall incremental improvements. I'd like to see some kind of trade up program though, it's expensive (and 50$ more for a marker with one extra sensor is ridiculous) and I can't justify paying that much for an incremental upgrade.

My only concern about the new specs would be the thickness, or rather the sturdiness. The first generation is thick by modern standards, but it's very sturdy. I've dropped the device, I've dropped the bag with it, I've bumped into things with it - not a scratch. Very refreshing in the age of fragile devices. Hopefully the rM2 doesn't sacrifice much sturdiness to be thinner.

Taxes are not equally paid either. I'm not sure what your point is. Do you want to limit wealth? Do you want to ban entrepreneurship? Do you want communism?
Next, it would be good if they would also cover the 90% of McDonalds workers who aren’t their direct employees. Pretty weak to say they can’t tell franchisees to follow their policy, and help cover the costs, when they can dictate how to run most other aspects of the business. Critical especially since these 500K workers are likely to need the income, and become a vector for the spread of the virus.

Sure, the USSR was a communist regime, no "True Scotsman" discussion required here.

Although I'd say "tyrannical dictatorship" is a necessary and sufficient condition to get to mass murders and atrocities. No need to further involve communism.

Well, property /is/ theft. You can take up a stick and say it's yours because you made it pointy. That doesn't mean it's not theft on everyone else no longer able to use the stick. Before it was a stick for everyone to use. Maybe someone decided to not make it sticky for a certain purpose. After you take it and make it yours, no one else can take it and make it theirs anymore. So, property is theft (of the common good).
