While checking out the project on GitHub I noticed that you're using GerritHub for reviews and made me wonder whether this is holding back some people from contributing. Not that it's bad in anyway, but I assume it's something a lot of people are unfamiliar with and the description of how to use it for the project is very limited, plus work in progress isn't directly visible as PR on GitHub.

Additionally, you mention in the CONTRIBUTING.md that there's a Google doc with a lot of issues listed that should be converted to GitHub issues. Where does one find that Google doc?
We largely live in an inflation-free environment right now, so I just don't believe that argument necessarily, as I might have twenty years ago.

30 years of 1% inflation = 26% diminished buying power

It seems reasonable to me that you would want to build high-quality, cost-effective, high-utilization wheelchair-friendly infrastructure in a few areas rather than spend a huge amount of money on low-quality low-traffic infrastructure everywhere.

I've tried GoAccess in the past, but I remember the documentation not being very thorough on certain topics like the databse, websocket connection, or log syntax. So it was a bit of a pain to set up.

It also had some weird quirks like generating duplicate entries or randomly failing to parse some log lines (you seem to have quite a few of those "failed requests" yourelf by the way).

There also doesn't seem to be a good way to display statistics for multiple virtual hosts. Even if you change your log format to include the host, you just get an additional table in the dashboard, but still can't look at the other metrics for each host separately. You'd have to run multiple GoAccess instances to achieve that.
Agree. I’m currently on Proton but I’d like to see Mozilla bundle the essentials, with vpn and mail as the basics.

Also, consider if possible affordability for students and senior, who might not be able to afford a subscription. Maybe limited bandwidth for free w/o subscription? Something like ProtonVPN provided.

You mean the specific experience when back buttons aren't working? Or when urls don't make sense? Or when you can't just share the content by copying the url because it no longer identifies the conten? Or when you can't say if something is loading, missing, or broken?

OTOH, if you use Flow or Typescript, it is amazing to be able to share type-safe interfaces across the stack (not code). I suppose you could get this from any compiled-to-JS language too.

This is basically solved by pinning the formatter to a specific version in your project's dependencies, and enforcing its use in continuous integration.

I was using Brave until this story came out and switched over to Vivaldi for the stuff that absolutely demands the Blink engine.

Point one, if they _repeatedly_ continue to do this kind of thing, what kind of stuff are they also getting away with? Or what's the next big surprise around the corner?

The second point is I really no prefer Vivaldi as things like sync work (it's been broken for a long time in Brave) and there's more exposed in the prefs for techie types who like to tinker with that kind of thing.

Firefox continues to be the every day browser and it keeps getting better as time goes on (another +1 for take my money for email, calendar, file storage, etc.).
I'm hoping that module federation will enable multiple, separately deployed services to reuse assets so that users moving between those services may do so without redownloading the same things over and over.

We've been able to achieve this to good effect using Webpack 4 with some hackery (https://www.matthinchliffe.dev/2020/06/03/taming-webpacks-co...) but I'd love to be able to point to something documented and official instead... this sort of looks like it might meet this need. Fingers crossed.

I disagree with this. Leaving the Earth doesn't remove random acts of doom from happening, and in fact, they are more lethal in unfamiliar and hostile environments.

If we do not figure out how to handle such black swan events on our home planet, we have no chance of handling them in space or on other planets.

Obviously President Trump would prefer Twitter to Telegram, at least if he's still on a bleach & laser kick, given that the original URL says "propagandizing suicidal behavior" is one of their blacklist categories. :-)
I didn't say anything about the right to protest. I said a protest isn't peaceful when the protest is literally people saying "We hate (group)". You can't have an ideology of hatred that is also an ideology of peace.
Wrong mainstream news outlet. The stupid conspiracy theory about Trump pushing hydroxychloroquine because he owned shares in its manufacturer was mostly the New York Times' doing. (This lead to the rather unusual spectacle of Snopes debunking a nonsensical online conspiracy theory pushed by the NYT... and there was plenty wrong with it, from the utterly miniscule size of Trump's indirect shareholding via a mutual fund to the low amount of money to be made from it to the fact that apparently that company was no longer selling it in the US anyway, some of which the NYT were clearly aware of.)

The problem is that white institutions have systematically torn down attempts by Black folks to build such social and economic capital. Eg: CIA introduction of drugs in middle class black neighborhoods, redlining, over policing black and brown neighborhoods, and just straight up bombing black neighborhoods.

It’s difficult to do this work when the system is trying its best to stop you.
> one of the attributes of an act of god is being unpreventable by humans.

That may be, but the set of things that humans can prevent gets larger over time. For example, 100 years ago, an asteroid hitting the earth would be an act of God we could do nothing about, but today it is at least within the realm of possibility that we could observe a large asteroid on a collision course and send in a spacecraft or missile to divert it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_impact_avoidance
I was just thinking about this same thing with my city. We have a fabulous little downtown square and the parks department is proposing to shut down a portion of a street by the square to make it pedestrian only. In doing so, it would be redeveloped into a "promenade".

This portion of the street is 60' wide (including sidewalks) and 285' long. That's 17,100 sqft or just shy of 2/5 acre. The cost? $10-13mm! I can't believe that taking out the asphalt, replacing it with concrete, and then adding lighting and plants should cost that much. It's outrageous.

> Also, your complaint about an ethical business model seems unfounded, especially in this instance.

I have no concern about the VPN service itself since it's Mullvad which I like, but the devaluation of the branding (which I consider a long term problem).

Look at stuff like Firefox Send and Pocket. The latter is proprietary (holy shit, how is that ethical?) and the former bugs you with in-page pop-ups to get an account when you try to change the settings that looks either very stupid or malicious (and they invested a lot of money). I thought it was a bug at first.

They may sound like specific petty issues, but I consider them symptoms of a gigantic systemic problem.

I am aware of Mozilla's financial struggle, but don't think this is a good way to solve it, or much of a viable one at all. I fear it will completely dilute the Firefox brand, lose core user's trust (what they have left, anyway) and result in barely any revenue. It may well result in the permanent ruin of the Firefox (the browser) project, especially since it appears to be 100% dependent on Mozilla because of its high entry barrier.

I do see the idea behind the pivot I think, which is banking on the rising popularity of privacy, but honestly I don't think they even have much of a good reputation on that front. The wide public doesn't know ("Mozilla is like Google, right?") and the techies have been burned too often. Neither do they explain much in their surprisingly widely deployed phsyical ads (how much did that cost?).

> They did not keep up this training for the digital age, and its a shame because on a modern naval ship almost everything is done via computer control and the current training is swap out the digital parts if anything breaks.

I have a fair bit of experience with this from the civilian contractor side.

The main problem with these modern Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs) and Line Replaceable Units (LRUs)[1] is that they require specialized tooling and equipment to properly troubleshoot, repair/rework, and test. They also each require some parts that are specific to the LRM/LRU. Shipboard technicians could be given the training to do the work (mostly), but there would be no space for all the other physical elements required to actually do it.

At first the DOD pushed all this back on the contractors (any failed LRM/LRU was shipped back to the factory), but when I left that world they were moving towards a model where branch depots could receive the failed LRM/LRU, test it, and perform basic repair/rework without contractor intervention; they would only ship the hairy cases back. That's about as good as they can get, because it just in feasible or cost effective to spread that capability out to every base and ship around the world.

>IANAL, but I have never heard of a lawyer writing a contract on a napkin, or advising a client to do so

Where did I or anyone say that is what lawyers advise. In fact I specifically said it is because of their army of lawyers tech companies have long and complex TOS and PP.

The point is TOS and PP are not complex because Courts require them, and the cocktail napkin contracts are examples (the pinnacle law school example) of how simple contracts can be while still being enforceable.

>Contracts are only important when there is a disagreement.

No, contracts are most important before the disagreement because they are what help avoid the disagreement. It would be very difficult to explain in this forum, but if you know what Summary Judgment is, breach of contract cases essentially never end in summary judgement, which is actually very counter intuitive because one would think with all breach of contract case should end in summary judgement...because the contract should speak for itself right? In other word one would think either the contract was performed/breached or it wasn't right? The thing is whether a contract was performed or breached is a question of fact for the fact finder; thus, contract cases never end at summary judgement and would always have to go to a finder of fact (judge or jury). You would probably have to spend a semester or 2 to fully grasp this concept and even then, it probably takes some actual practice of law with contract cases to fully grasp why contracts do not resolve contractual disagreements. The reality is once there is a dispute and you are seeking enforcement you would much rather have the cocktail napkin than a complex agreement, it will save you years of litigation and the cost of the same.
99% of the software in the US is currently available to the CCP if they care enough. Pretty much all private companies could have their IP exposed by a nation-state level actor at this point.

It's typical for read-only source-code access to be available to everyone inside the corporate network, so if any device used by anyone with such access is compromised (or if the person is themselves compromised), so is the source-code.
If you don't know the details, how do you say it's not the truth? I was on H1B in US and moved to Canada as a Permanent Resident. The process to become a Permanent Resident is incredibly easy.

It's a great option for anyone looking to start their own startup.
