Maybe it's a cultural problem but many of their products are aimed at consumers when they have the opportunity to tune them for enterprise (lockwise?). They could make more money with better and paid consultation projects. Many open source projects they own can be sassified (voice project?).
> What do you do when FAANGs become larger than some countries?

This seems to be a bigger issue than tech companies. The tendency towards monopoly is a problem that every industry faces, where many international trusts hold more power than many of the governments in the countries they do business in. Worse, in some cases these trusts can exert undue influence over these governments. It isn't unreasonable that at some point in the future they could have similar power over even the US.

How exactly to deal with these power imbalances between countries and international businesses seems largely to be uncharted territory.
This seems to be a sensationalist headline. Their revenue is up and they are spending a lot to expand into new markets, hence their losses will be high.

> Revolut’s revenues increased sharply to £163m in 2019, up from £58m in 2018.

> Revolut has been expanding heavily over the past year, with the total number of employees of the company rising from 633 to 2,261 by the end of 2019.

As someone who spends a lot of time between € and £, Revolut has been an absolutely huge money saver. I don't like their reported working conditions and I wouldn't keep savings there, but there's no denying that they are a useful product.

I have read the story of Ignaz Semmelweis many times, and pretty much always it is framed as the abhorrent injustice of a comically evil establishment resenting and destroying a saviour-figure out of sheer bloody-mindedness.

This is the first time I have seen sensible explanations, namely that Semmelweis was really bad at promoting his discovies and successes:

> It did not help that Semmelweis was a tactless, difficult, and angry man who lacked people-skills. For one, years after his research, he refused to publish his findings and reasoning, because he considered it ”self-evident.” Further, he openly berated even the most powerful doctors who dared to challenge him or failed to wash their hands.
4MB is the theoretical limit with SegWit, if you are constructing a block specifically as big as possible. In practice, you will probably never see a 4mb block (and if you did, it would not be composed of minimal transactions).

My calculation was looking at a lower bound for needed transaction cost.
If this becomes a thing, they will put a laser on a satellite and call it a day. All of the big 3 (military, not economically, you know who I am talking about) can do this easily.

Anecdata: Reason I ask is that we did a trip a few weeks ago and for us, hotels were out of the question. Never used Airbnb before but did this time to get smaller places to ourselves.

As I was looking it was tough to get everything lined up as many places were booked up. Some really great looking places were practically booked up for the next several months. Wasn't sure if this was the norm or if many others are doing the same.

I think the TSA's theory is that if you can answer questions about the data in the Accurint record about person X correctly (i.e. your answers match the Accurint record, even if it is erroneous), you must be person X. That's the essential assumption behind the current IVCC scheme, except that it is operated by the TSA rather than a contractor.
It gives you the best of both worlds - fast initial load, accessible, works without JS. But then also get all the client side goodness - highly interactive views, animations, and far less bytes transferred for subsequent page loads. Plus, writing a complex frontend is simply a far better experience in something like React than in Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.

Finally, it lets you also render them to React Native using a lot of shared code. And you can share code between your backend APIs, etc.

To be honest, I’ll take Typescript over anything, even if it wasn’t the default for the web. It strikes the perfect balance of flexibility, concision, safety, debugging ux, and has a huge ecosystem to boot. I think client side JS these days if anything is underrated and the WASM hype won’t change much - if you want a lightweight, accessible app then doing a SPA in JS (with SSR) is actually not even a compromise, it’s truly superior to any alternative. Now, with a big caveat: you need to invest to get it all set up properly. No one has really “railsed” it yet, as far as I can tell.

No worries, I appreciate it anyway.

> it's to block distractions in the browser (or unplug wifi) and put your phone in another room

Good advice, agreed - few months ago I started using two separate Windows accounts where I block all distracting sites on one of them. It's not perfect but does help.

I still find it a bit too easy to just switch accounts. What I'm going to try next is setting up limitations for certain times of day at router level.

Funnily enough, phone is not a problem at all.

"It's crazy that we've given up control as a society of the only mechanisms for electronic payments in an increasingly cashless world to unregulated private entities who continue to jack up fees as often as they can get away with."

Regarding such jacking up of fees, it seems that nearly every month PG&E, a regulated utility company in California, sends notices of price hikes.

I'm not sure how they manage to get away with this, but it makes me skeptical that merely regulating a company, or even nationalizing it, will be sufficient to keep rates low, since regulatory capture will continue to be a possibility.

Further, its an open secret that the very politicians who are tasked with regulating industry are often former (or future) executives in the very companies they regulate. Political office is a revolving door for industry executives, which regularly land well paid jobs in those same industries after retiring from politics.

I'm not sure how to solve this problem, but we need to look at it squarely in the face and not labor under the illusion that government and corporations are clearly separate nor diametrically opposed entities.

> What you're saying here presumes to be the answer to the most important question Mozilla is struggling with: in 10 years, is a browser-focused Mozilla viable?

No, I think it presumes that given the Mozilla Foundation's mission, if a browser-focussed Mozilla Corporation is no longer viable, the parent Foundation has utterly failed, and neither it nor the Corporation that supports it has a reason to exist.

Now, one can argue both sides of that, but I think there's a very good argument they the center of the open consumer internet is the browser, and that soloing functionality off of that (even if the particular thing you are promoting happens to be an open solution) ends up just reinforcing the trend toward balkanization of the internet into domains of disconnected functionality mostly ruled by proprietary apps and services.

WITH's are great and definitely solves some of the issues with SQL. Some implementations unfortunately don't optimize them as subqueries, but that is not the fault of SQL.
Poaching has always had a certain connotation that you snatched/stole/etc. someone from another employer. Of course, we use "steal" in other contexts where it's perfectly legal/by the rules: steal second base, this thing I bought was a steal, etc. So there's a long history of using this language in English for things that aren't actually illegal or underhanded.

That said, I understand why people object to it and it may be one of those terms it's better to avoid even if it's used playfully.
I think the point is that very wealthy companies can temporarily pay employees more than the value they provide, and willingly eat that cost until the competition has been stifled, at which point they can lower compensation again.
I honestly don't think any country in the world cares at this point. There are far worse things world has ignored, I hardly think this needed a precedent.

It really stinks that 250 people lost their jobs, I don't want to downplay that. But I think overall this is a good move for Mozilla. For them to be product-oriented will allow them to uphold their own privacy advocacy ideals. Most notably, they may eventually be able to remove Google as Firefox's default search engine.
> I understood how bad Mozilla, for lack of a better term 'sucked' at making money when I saw how the small team of KaiOS picked up the remains of Firefox OS and not only turned it to be a viable business but did so in the ruthless, hyper-competitive market of Smartphone OS ecosystem where even Microsoft had failed.

KaiOS is in the ultra-low-end smartphone/feature-phone market that Microsoft/Google/Apple don't care about at all.

What's remarkable is that something ill-conceived like "web technology on ultra-low-end devices" actually gained enough traction to get devices on the market.

Like Firefox OS before it, actual KaiOS devices were not well-received, because of poor performance and lack of apps. It's just that nobody really notices because all the buzz is around "real" smartphones.
I think having competing ads make sense because it shows consumers alternatives which is competition. Google does add a relevance factor to the cost which means Heroku would have to pay a lot less for the spot than its competitors.
The comparison holds up if the claim, as stickfigure made, was that the relevant factor is whether or not there is a legally-enforced monopoly. US vs Microsoft shows that the factors you cite aren't necessary either.

yeah, kind of read it that way, or as an ad for their rails churn 'shop'. More than anything seems like an ad for rails developers, nothing else.

as a fullstack guy who's worked w/ rails, laravel, etc... and who's done my share of frontend stuff, I'd say focusing on the frontend might be a bigger sell, cause that shit is VERY opinionated lately.

Vue vs React vs Vanilla vs Alpinejs. Do you use bootstrap or tailwinds? Backend code is rudimentary but nailing the ui stuff and also cross platform if needing mobile or w/e is much harder personally.

True, email requires more players to stay federated and would have reflected well with Mozilla's supposed ethos. But, I seriously doubt whether Mozilla would have pulled off what Hey did in terms of marketing.

Only if people actually click on competitor ads. I imagine it's pretty rare anyone searches for ebay and clicks on amazon ads instead. So you're uniquely situated to outbid the competition with absurdly low CPC because click through rate is dramatically higher.

And sure, it's not fun handing over money to defend your brand. I could see an argument be made that you want the competitors to outbid you because the costs are so high for them.
