"3. Extension-ready

This update will initially include support for one of the most popular extensions on Android, uBlock Origin. Additional extensions will be supported in subsequent releases so you can customize and expand your mobile browsing experience even more."

Why has Moz turned in to this almost fascist company all of a sudden. Like, what? Kill all but whitelisted extensions, which users asked for that?

Let me guess, there'll be an accidental reset of people's config to enable them to be auto-updated and then there extensions will stop working ... I wouldn't put it passed then to then have already secured control over uBlock and we'll have unlockable ads before you know it.

Hope I'm wrong.
Couple of years ago when someone was arguing with my about high speed rail a Brit piped up with how much it'd cost to build third runway at Heathrow. Something like $12 to $15 billion. Which is what convinced me the California High Speed rail a good idea. Build that and you don't need to expand about 8-12 airports.

Is there any halfway decent third party recommendation system? I've got a list of everything I've watched in the last year or so since I've started tracking it, plus older TV shows I've seen in full. I'd be interested in manually inputting that with ratings into some system where it can recommend what else I'd like given everyone else's data.

"The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists." - Joan Robinson, 1955

> abuse the mod button

If someone insults them in the comments and they report it, are they even abusing the system or are they using the reporting mechanism as intended?
I think that's somewhat what I mean. It's less about having any particular style as much as having A style. I know plenty of folks whose style is "weird" or punk or overly-formal or other looks that aren't normal "business attire" and do fine for themselves, but if you're just wearing whatever you grab out of the closet that's worn and ill-fitting, it's not doing you any favors.
To go even deeper, using your example...

What counts as "injured" or "killed"? If shots are fired and the resulting human stampede kills 4 people, does that count as 4 mass shooting deaths? Obviously the shooter is at fault, but these details affect the interpretation of events.

My undergrad was in statistics. In our capstone course, my professor had us read journal articles and discuss the statistical analyses within. I remember one study we read (peer reviewed, a couple dozen citations), and my professor's take away was, "I can't say it's wrong, but based on the data they gave, I can't for the life of me figure out how they reached their statistical conclusions." So yeah, it's a "fact" that the researchers reached a certain conclusion, but the conclusion itself is not fact.

I don't believe in post-truth, but "Facts are facts; truth is truth" is a philosophical statement, not a practical one. And even then, we have an entire field of philosophy to iron out those details, which we call epistemology.

...yes, exactly? Why is that an issue?

> For example, when you scroll your mouse, does the window just snap to the next page? Or does it go bit by bit so you can see where the new information comes from, and where the old information goes? Which do you think is a better experience?

Yes, it snaps to the next scroll spot, because I disabled the "Use smooth scrolling" option, because I find it annoying.

But overall, I feel like you're arguing that it's okay to do things because in very small doses they can be useful. And that's fair, but IMO it's quite rare to actually see it done at a tasteful/sane level. Scroll hijacking is basically a meme on HN, in practice animations are almost always a net negative, icons are confusing because nobody actually sticks themselves to common known icons. Given the choice between the extremes, I'd strongly prefer minimalism, and that's relevant because people suck at actually implementing a happy medium.
Airbus has the A320 line, which is a quantum leap ahead of the 737, and the A220 line, which is another leap ahead of that. The latter, which for my money is the best commercial jet in the world right now, also benefits from not being subject to import duty in the US, which was previously the main reason besides patriotism for US airlines to buy Boeing narrowbodies. In addition, although Boeing's widebodies are not obsolete in the same way as the 737 is, the A350 is probably the best long-haul jet in the world right now. In the past, Boeing used to make massive profits on 747s because no-one else was selling super-high capacity planes, but the A380 squeezed their margins to the extent that they had to pursue the sticking-plaster MAX instead of a clean-sheet replacement.
There should exist plenty of libraries, examples and documentation for those in any language. You shouldn't have to use third party services.
I'm so excited, and just hoping the weather holds. The best of luck to the entire team, and hoping everything goes smoothly and safely!
Exactly. I've been in the PNW since the mid-80's and Boeing issues are not unusual.

They are one of the largest military contractors (who supplies the country that spends the most on military), and it the only National aircraft manufacturer.

I feel for the people affected by this, but I don't doubt that Boeing will turn things around.

Common Intermediate React/Redux Mistakes
We did ten percent across the board for salaried, executive level is higher, and we have 50k employees world wide but I cannot say how many outside of HQ/SC are affected as we have a few subsidiaries and some areas are covered by different laws.

This is to continue for sixty days minimum. This is in addition to those furloughed. Almost every contractor was released in April.

Company has a reserve but they have to step in now because the unknowns are still too high. They have been really open with the issues at hand, the company's ability to withstand such pressures, and ideas going forward.

Based on neighbors in my area, some are wholly unaffected, one has one day a week furlough which is effectively twenty percent but with benefits intact, a few are laid off completely or their spouse is. Pretty much I figure people are being tight with money even if unaffected because of the uncertainty and leadership at local, city, state, and federal levels, is all over the place; let alone those in the same using FUD to up their November chances

Literally one of the first links for "covid fatality rate", one from March 31st. They mention 3.5% average estimate from CDC/WHO with 4.8% for highest risk groups. I can't be bothered to find links to original reports and statements though.

Can't really comment about the second part, as I'm not an expert, but while fractions of a percent surely are important from the organizational point of view (e.g. estimating loads in hospitals and such),

If large companies didn't plan beyond the quarter, a lot more of them would be failing all the time.

You can't even build a factory in a quarter.

In reality larger companies usually prosper for many decades, because they do plan long term.

> Nextjs does the same thing. That's not a business model.

A business model doesn't need to be unique in order to be successful. Also Gatsby is open source, so I wouldn't expect to find profits falling out of the core library. They make their money through consulting and cloud ops.

> adds complexity that wastes developer time

Every framework comes with its own flavor of complexity. To blanket say that Gatsby wastes time ignores the real benefits it provides and the opportunity cost of getting those benefits through some other library (or even more daunting, writing and maintaining a homegrown framework).

If web performance matters to you or your business then effort focused in that direction is not a waste. The complexity of learning/developing with Gatsby/Next is significantly lower than getting those benefits without them.
Yeah, I’m totally confused by this. It’s not like the data is in a mega proprietary format, it’s all valid GitHub markdown apart from the back linking, which would probably be relatively easy to reimplement if the company went out of business. I see org-mode being promoted as a viable alternative but it’s personally been a significant pain in the arse getting org files to being valid markdown. The beauty of obsidian IMO is that the “backend” is just Plain text markdown files organised in folders.

Yeah, I was reading that and thinking that you can replace every instance of Gatsby with Next.js and the text would still hold.*

I noticed that IDEO uses Gatsby for their site, so I'm starting to think that the main difference is PR/marketing.

* I've worked with Next, 11ty, jekyll, hugo, but not Gatsby, hence the interpretation. Gatsby feels like less boilerplate than Next. I'll check it out once I find an excuse to use it.
I guess the issue is "getting a strike". Sure, if your posts are misinformation, why not add a label that says so.

But giving a strike? That's going too far and your case highlights why: you can't make a joke anymore.

A strike is stifling free speech whereas a label is just informative. It might be biased, it might not be, but it doesn't prevent you from expressing yourself, be it by making a joke or spreading accurate information or spreading ridiculous conspiracy theories.

> you can't seriously say that the geographical location of HK is meaningless

It's economically meaningful. But from a foreign policy or geopolitical perspective, strategically, it's not worth expending force over.

> having a tiny outpost of liberalism as a check on the worst impulses of the mainland

I'd prefer this too. But Beijing has made its intentions clear. Short of the U.S. deploying force to defend Britain's 1997 agreement, Hong Kong--as it exists today--has fallen.
There is zero rationality in the market right now. Making good money on short term options but man this doesn’t seem “right”.

Just looked at the stock and options for Boeing. Going to sit this one out. I would normally be ordering a put/short with this news, but the way things are going wouldn’t be surprised to see their stock rise.

Nothing makes sense.
Bell labs was good precisely because I doubt it ever made anyone much money. Hmmmm.....
I don't think so:

1. this feature does not have a lot of user visibility,

2. in fact many laptops already allowed you to set this (e.g. Lenovo and Dell) but it seemed regular users didn't care at all,

3. Apple does not tend to do that, anyway (for better or worse).
This is one of the hardest things as you scale the business. Make sure that the company's hiring effort isn't captured by politics, but stays aligned to the mission and rewards those who are competent. In a startup it's easy. You have direct market feedback. In a big company it's one of the most difficult problems to solve.

Feel pretty sure that in those 12k people fired were some of the most competent people at Boeing, while some of those better at politics were retained.

I have another explanation:

Take a look at Sundar Pichai background. He grew up in a middle class family in Tamil Nadu, quite a red part of India back in seventies, and then West Bengal, an even more hard red state.

Add that he been to one of IITs, which were a product of Nehruism. IITs were quite known for left slant in alumni networks in the Western states to full blown Marxism classes being taught in the east in seventies.

He might have been recruited there.

Remember, there are basically two flavours of communism in India. One is more or less vanilla one, and another clandestine/militant one came from China, and Nepal, with a potent Maoist spin.
Remember, this has only lasted a few months. I want us all to be prepared for it to last much longer. Even if we were to reopen fully today, things have changed in ways that they won't change back.

Take care of yourself and your family. Have a backup plan in case of financial hardship. Entertain scenarios, such as social unrest and food supply chain issues, and come up with a plan for you and your family (with hopes that it never comes to that). If you don't feel safe in your city, prepare yourself to leave.

I'm not trying to doom-say or anything like that. You don't have to become a prepper, just think critically for yourself and be flexible in an environment that's unprecedented and fluid.
Bizarrely you're being downvoted when this is the most logical comment in the entire comment section. I have no idea why people can't see that this is the case.

There's only comparatively a little money to be made in the for-profit pharmaceutical industry off a $4 a pill generic of HCQ. Whereas a shiny new overpriced drug and a vaccine forced on billions will make a killing. The harsh truth but that's how it works when you only answer to shareholders.
this is not true about boeing being behind airbus. boeing saw the point to point rise and decrease of hub and spoke years earlier and invested in the 787. while airbus has poured billions into the a380, now slated for permanent production shutdown, which may have never been profitable for the company

I disallow my blog from being indexed by Google. While they obviously don't care, and really all it does it deny me a large percentage of my traffic (it's a small personal blog, so it doesn't hurt me), if enough people do it or if even one of my posts gets popular for some reason and people are looking for it, Googles results suffer. This seems like a good protest. I always encourage people to put a "No AMP" link at the bottom of their blog or similar, deny Google in robots.txt, and link it to a post or page that explains why you're no longer allowing Google (this one is good: https://uglyduck.ca/dear-google-im-blocking-you-from-my-webs...).
okay, I'll bite. you're ignoring a lot of important variables here. the total volume and circulation of air, number of people in the store, your distance from other people, and whether you and others wear masks all affect the probability that you get infected when you go to the store. if you, the other shoppers, and the store do everything right, the odds of infection are pretty low.
