Once China masters all the chip capabilities, the competition will be over, the era of USA will fade out quickly in history.

China is working its ass off while we're looting on the street because BLM, or we're fighting for LGBTQ to make sure it is something you should take PRIDE in.

If you're silent these days then you're as aweful as Trump. Nowadays fair treatment for all is the same as discrimination. If you're a conservative you're more than evil.

USA is hijacked by the left and socialism and is on its way to hell, with China is catching up, our days are numbered.
Link. Please.
That's not the right analogy. It means you're not allowed to sue someone else for requiring an ID check in order to let you shop there.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'd be surprised if this defense was particularly robust anyway. It seems you'd just have to argue that there's some slight difference in the situations and that's why I'm doing something that guy shouldn't do. But either way, you're not taking away the correct message from his example.

Apparently the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States disagrees with you on the length of drug disclosures.[1] He said that "[p]roviding too much information defeats the purpose of disclosure, and since no one reads it", and that "the legal system obviously is to blame for that".

Would be cool if it was required that such a label needs to be placed prominently on any signup page.
Before you regret something you didn't do, ask yourself whether you understand that thing well enough to regret it. Why did you want to do a startup?

For example, one popular reason is "I'm my own boss", but that's largely wrong. If you're trying to make money, you have bosses. Going from a salaried job means going from one or a few bosses to many, many bosses. Depending on the startup, these could be a multitude of consumers, a few big clients and/or investors. These bosses will not tell you directly what to do, but will rather stop paying you, or never pay to begin with if you don't do what they want out of you.

You needs and wants about what you want to do is probably very different from what your bosses will pay you to do, and adjusting your needs/wants/ideas to what will pay is what we call "finding product-market fit". Yes, new markets arise, and sometimes someone extraordinary will mold the market to themselves, but largely you'll be molding yourself to the market.

This is not to say being your own boss is BS - you still get plenty of autonomy and are the final decision maker. The layers between you and the market are extremely thin, so the highs are higher and the lows are lower.
2. My understanding that nothing has changed much. Mozilla forbidden internals access to 3rd party developers, mostly driven to ease refactoring - completing the drop of non Firefox browsers started in 2008 [1]. Those who need (and were allowed) these API (like Developer tools) moved in tree. Others have to use new API which for compatibility reasons looks like Chrome.

3. Today looks like every browsers gallery dropped security. I was talking about days before Chrome and how things changed. I gave a link, there were just several blocked addons in 2008-2010. Something changed and I remember publishing process was different in Firefox and Chrome. Search gives me no complains about long review in 2010 for Chrome.

I am not Mozilla funboy. I do not think that Mozilla actions is enough, Chrome had good things too - reviews without "I like it" and "Works for me". Everyone deploys automatic scan. Manual review is better than no manual review. How many extensions from Recommend list were blocked?

We have to find a way to reduce pressure to buy/sell addon for use as spyware. Someone has to think twice before trying to buy Recommended addon. Or looking on a list of blocked addons. Or maybe someday "Collects data" badge. Today Mozilla is ahead, just copy and move on.

But the government doesn’t want people to travel.
This looks like an overextended version of something similar to "A competent team, with competent solutions." Which, well, still doesn't sound very convincing to me, but at least it flows better.
> Actually Iran used missiles strikes against Saudi Arabia oil facilities very recently as an argument in negotiation. No strong world reaction.

But didn't they do so through proxies, which gives them at least a little deniability?
Based on your argument — taking it to an absurd extreme — you’d never stay in a job and be perpetually changing.
It's a common "experiment" run in high school science classes. It can be done with very little equipment (just a disposable lancet to prick the skin, and a disposable card to give you the results), and lends itself to interesting lessons on genetics, antibodies, etc.

That's a thousand letters. I'm not against the concept but that's implausibly small.
Maybe not for Americans :) The eruption was hypothesized to have occurred in North America but did the team try to cross reference with native accounts of that time period?
How much of that 150B trade with China is for parts that are in turn sold in US? It’s very hard to winnow out real meaning from raw trade numbers.
Why do people bother with antifa moniker anyways? Is one syllable worth the loss in clarity that would come from having your opposition be forced to speak the word anti-fascist? To rule out willful ignorance of the public to discount "antifa" (strangely pronounced with the accent on the i, undermining the reception of the "anti" prefix) as some foreign set of concepts when in reality it is the basis of this nation.
Additional use case: you want to self host at home ? A VPN will give you a public, stable IP address without having to fiddle with your router and opening ports and NAT-punching and friends
Sounds like the issue is, "I created a set of rules and ban users who try to bypass them, but I recognize how bogus/harmful to a business those rules are because I do my utmost best to bypass those exact same rules when I'm in the position of a user on someone else's platform."

The contradiction is in trying to support the rules with one hand while resorting to the same bypassing tactics they decry when they're in the position of a business on someone else's platform.

This is just me btw, don't take offense:

Because some things are better expressed in different rules.

That's why some syntax is optional in the first place, that's the reason it was made that way. The flexibility is a very intentional feature. It wasn't an accident.

Maybe you want multiple spaces to vertically align code in a complex set of logic. Maybe you want to express things on multiple lines to break them up. Maybe you have deep nesting so you want to go from 4 spaces to 2. Maybe you want no braces in a single line if statement except in certain cases. This could go for pages. Poof! All gone. You can't do any of it anymore.

Not following optional syntax like having a space after a comma or a space before a parenthesis is not a software bug. It's a waste of time. The compiler doesn't care and I don't either.

Instead it becomes a literal Blocking Issue most of the time. So instead of working on the actual blocking issues of the code base, you spend time doing "you did this here because of some context I don't understand and I'm not allowing it" You can't commit your code without conforming to it.

Also because linters are dumb. They "spot" things that are perfectly fine as supposed bugs (because they don't actually know types or logic, they're just dumb syntax checkers) and you have to work around them to satiate them with the possibility of introducing new bugs to prevent some tripwire system from false positives.

Compiler writers and language designers are the only people I've found who agree with me.

It's fine for protecting against profound levels of incompetence but I don't do that and you probably don't either.
I second this wholeheartedly. I would be happy paying at least the $5/mo that they're charging for the VPN to have web-based access to privacy-respecting email service tied to a name I tend to trust like Mozilla (hopefully with a fairly vanilla domain name that doesn't get weird looks).

Purism's Librem One suite [0] comes the closest, but I just don't have the trust in them that I'd want before pulling the trigger. They have a history of making grand claims with sub-par delivery, which just doesn't cut it for a service like a primary email provider. They've claimed plans to add features like file storage for ages now with no updates. Email is just too important a part of daily life to risk it.

> black people should just accept racism is a thing and move on

That's exactly what's being said to white people right now, and as a white person, I don't think that any race should accept it. The current dilemma is that apparently not accepting racism towards white people, as a white person, seems to make me racist somehow. Go figure.
A good tracker should only be running locally. Ublock origin is just local rules and filters, nothing is being logged or sent anywhere. I'm not sure about this one, however.
>you go piece by piece and that harder pieces get addressed later

Sounds like diving head-first into something with significant short and long term consequences while refusing to plan for the actual end-game. Frankly the reason people haven't addressed the "harder pieces" of abolition yet is because there is no good alternative to prison. Some people are fundamentally dangerous to society and no amount of "please be nice" therapy or education will change them.

They must massively oversubscribe their services, far beyond ISPs. The advertising probably brings in a lot of profitable users who aren't pushing tons of BitTorrent traffic as well. With the insanely high affiliate commission they're offering I can't think of another way.
> 1) TSMC doesn’t build the tools that builds the microchips. In fact, they probably don’t even know how to build it, or even know the optical science to research and develop it. That dubious honor goes to ASML, and some other Japanese companies. But ASML, the euro company is currently in the lead for 5nm. TSMC just knows how to use their machine, and to get better at it. And to be clear, ASML doesn’t know how to manufacture the chips like TSMC can, so both companies need each other, in a symbiotic type of relationship.

TSMC has investnents in many tool makers, and has own tooling RnD.
Apple would not need a different business plan.

Apple currently has $192.8 billion cash on hand. If Apple took a smaller cut, they would simply have a few less billion dollars in the bank. Many, many individual developers and small business would have a little more money in their bank accounts. The small businesses are more likely to be actively put this money back into the economy then the idle billions in Apple's bank accounts.
>You can't have monopolistic behavior without a monopoly

This is wrong. Monopolistic behavior is anti-competitive behavior that doesn't require having a market monopoly.

Think of it as a pattern of behavior that moves you towards having a monopoly.
There's so much FUD here about how this must mean Telegram is now insecure, backdoored etc. I sure hope those voicing these opinions actually have used Telegram and understands how it works:

- Telegram does log chats server-side if you want them to (to be able to see your chat history across devices). You don't have to. Telegram supports end-to-end encryption ("secret chats") with no logging -- as far as I know there is no proof that these chats are untrustworthy.

- Telegram groups have never been sacred and they are deleted if they spread illegal information. This is not the same thing as leaking someone's personal chat history, which to my knowledge has still never been done.

I'd be glad to be proven wrong on any of these counts, I use both Telegram and Signal and trust the latter more for obvious reasons (it's completely open source) -- but the fact that Telegram is not perfect in every way does not make it insecure by default.
Webpack, just like Parcel, has always "worked" out of the box without installing anything extra. You do still have to write a tiny webpack.config.js. Bundles code just fine by just including `webpack` and `webpack-cli` in my project.
I wish Mozilla would also offer a DNS-over-TLS service instead of just offloading it to Cloudflare or NextDNS.
Name one company that has dominated a market by creating a similar product but with better privacy.

Plenty have tried.

Protonmail is Gmail with better privacy, Gmail dominates the market.

Telegram / Signal is messaging with better privacy, Slack dominates the market.

Zoom dominated the video conferencing market with poor privacy, although they seem to maybe be trying to make it better.

Ultimately, "better privacy" does not seem to be a differentiator the market cares about.

I would welcome some counter examples though, where a competitor was launched with the differentiator being better privacy and won the market segment.
Hey everybody, this guy says that's apple's actually the underdog and not a monopoly after all, case closed.
I'd suggest a textbook on formal logic with lots of problems to solve.
if no one did anything because they loved it, or because they thought it would help humankind, the world would be a much sadder and more transactional place. i dont know that we would have mathematicians, musicians, writers, costumers, chefs...or really much of anything

maybe just replace delusional with 'idealistic' or some other dismissive but less directly offensive term
Pay them with the experience of building a product somebody wants to use
I was an experimental physicist, and I'd say that's a reasonable comparison to make.

The time scales are much longer, unfortunately. Instead of taking one or two years to get a company off the ground, it can be more like five for an experiment[1]. I'd attribute this to slower iteration. You end up throwing away or rebuilding a lot of physical things, many of them bespoke, on the way to a working apparatus.

Also, the compensation is much worse for experimental physics. For he first decade of your career, you work as a grad student, then a post-doc, for slightly above poverty wages. This does have the advantage of meaning you work with very motivated people, but you're giving up a lot for that.

[1] The XENON experiments from the article (10, 100, and now 1 Tonne) have been developed over about 15 years, for example
I think this was absolutely the right move because it was so blatant and disgusting.

I do however fear that this was a bait. The campaign posts something so blatant in order to get it taken down to be able to claim victimhood and enrage the base.
If you'd like some unsolicited advice - the job hunt is tricky, because you should be optimizing for the best outcome for yourself. However, if you think of it as materializing your leverage -- just go out and get an offer that is better than what you have. Use that to approach your boss, it won't be a confrontation if you approach it with "I like it here, but it's clear that I'm underpaid. Can you help me find a way where it makes sense for me to stay?"
The US would never invade China, it would attempt to stand off and bomb China to degrade their military capabilities and economy (manufacturing in particular), along with fighting a naval war to try to determine naval supremacy around Asia. There would be some island battles between the two, to deny/seize territory. The conflict would be near-China and would involve China trying to deny the US the ability to operate effectively close to their territory. Right now the US can project across much of Asia, China can't project across the Pacific (or very far from their borders), so the conflict would largely happen in and around Asia. It would be a question of naval battles around Asia (and some limited conflict in the Pacific), denying the US Air Force the ability to bomb China, intermediate and medium range missiles (ship killers etc), and air defenses. The way things would go with North Korea, South Korea and Japan, would be of particular interest; as well as NATO; North Korea would go to war with South Korea if any serious conflict breaks out between the US and China. Russia would supply and intel-assist China as requested but not get involved directly. There is almost no scenario where Germany (and probably France as well) would join on to fighting a war against China over Taiwan; many NATO countries would refuse to get involved, which would end the NATO alliance. And if China decided to bomb eg Tokyo, they could obviously cause enormous destruction very easily, which presents Japan with a very difficult choice. There is a good reason nobody wants to see any of this happen.

If China were losing badly enough, they'd throw the nuclear card on the table. It presents a difficult scenario overall, as China can always draw a stalemate by using that whenever convenient: stop or I'll use nukes; it's the ultimate homefield advantage. If you're winning away from your home turf, and you're under threat of being nuked, your population will never support pressing forward (it would never be worth it, gain a bit of foreign land temporarily and lose your cities).

this is awesome! any idea if this is open sourced - or any other similar applications which are?
Also note that Google allows third-party payment gateways via the Google Play API – Netflix, as an example, dodges the cut with a custom implementation of Stripe! It's a lot more work to implement, but developers actually have the option.
I think this is great.

I use SwiftLint for my code (Swift, not supported in SuperLinter, and I don't expect it to be).

https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/swiftwater/swiftlint...

I am real big on code quality. LINT is not a silver bullet, but every little bit helps. I also use things like -wall (or the equivalent, thereof, in Swift), and heavy-duty code commenting.

We're not ignoring the guidance, it's just such a grey area when it comes to PECR / ePrivacy. Even the ICO's guidance, it talks about "cookie-like" technology. Our technology isn't cookie-like. And our processing isn't cookie-like either. We've had lawyers look at our documentation and all of them have said it's a grey area.

You'll know this but some people reading might not: Under GDPR, there are multiple legal bases for processing and we rely on legitimate interest. PECR / ePrivacy is the grey area for us and other services.

Having said all of this, we're fortunately moving away from requiring any compliance at all... by avoiding the complexities all together. We're rolling a refactor to our data collector over the next few weeks, and we won't have to have these conversations about grey areas anymore :) We've hired a top-tier privacy consultant and are going to be deploying a huge update, putting us at the top of the list for compliant analytics. Every single privacy-focused analytics service is in a grey area right now (some think they're not but they are). We will be the first to move out of this GDPR / ePrivacy grey area dance.

As you say, you see the logic behind the implementation we had, but we're dealing with politicians who don't understand the difference between Google Analytics and privacy-focused analytics. And that's fine, the work they've done has lead to better privacy for everyone, so we appreciate them.
What if all viruses disappeared?
There is no reason to believe telegram is in bed with the FSB.

The company does not have servers in Russia, the software wasn't developed in Russia, etc.

The only reason one could make the connection is that it was developed by a Russian. A Russian that gave up a lot specifically not to cooperate with the Russian government.
I actually like having multiple screens. I know I'm weird in this but I actually like running certain apps maximized.. but I wouldn't want it maximized across a whole ultrawide.

Plus, if I take a working vacation somewhere it's a lot more practical to schlep around one 24" or 27" than an ultrawide.

Also, just as an ergonomic thing, I could angle in the two outer screens a bit while not having one of those icky curved screens.
Crazy, is this on mobile?

I wasn't very clear: the way the AWS Marketplace wants me to 'buy' the AMI for $0 is an annoying extra step. You're doing the right thing on your side, publishing the AMI IDs plainly, the way Ubuntu do. [0] The AMI IDs work fine in EC2 even without 'buying', if you already know them, so it makes little sense for Amazon to artificially introduce this $0 payment step, in the name of it being a 'marketplace'.

While we're here: As I implied, I recently got FreeBSD up and running from one of your AMIs. (I was just playing around, not doing anything serious, and I don't know FreeBSD well at all, my experience is with Linux.) Thanks for your work here. I encountered two issues though:

1. It took a long time for the instance to boot up and for port 22 to open. Roughly 14 minutes. This is with a t3a.small instance.

2. I was unable to confirm the SSH public key of the instance. The EC2 custom is for it to be written to the system log, which is viewable from within the EC2 web dashboard, but FreeBSD didn't appear to do this. (This can take a few minutes on Ubuntu and Amazon Linux 2, for whatever reason, but it works eventually.)

Also, and perhaps it's just me that trips over this, but I'd find it helpful if it were made more explicit that the correct username is 'ec2-user'.

I haven't tried out the ARM64 AMIs but it's great you're providing AMIs for both architectures. Amazon seem pretty serious about their ARM instance-types.

VPN’s just mean you’re trusting someone else than your ISP. Instead of your ISP seeing you go to site.com, now your ISP sees you connecting to a VPN and the VPN sees you connecting to site.com.

For this reason I am highly suspicious of any VPN service that markets itself as some “magical privacy wormhole”, which is 99% of VPN providers.

Honest ones I know of are Encrypt.me and Mullvad, who both tell you they should be mainly used to secure yourself on open WiFi and to circumvent geo blocks.

If you want a private internet connection, use TOR.
I'd like to see that list of experts and their reasoning.
Ah, glad to hear it's working now. I was just about to ask you to check the network tab. Also, I pushed an update last night that renames the refresh button to "skip all" and keeps track of which items are skipped, so items won't show up again after you've seen them once (there's another button under Account which will reset the skip history).

Also you're welcome! It's been really nice to actually have some users, a luxury which escaped me in previous startup attempts.
