The fact that trains/buses/your feet doesn't suffice has already been covered in Gilmore v. Gonzales, among other similar points in the same area.
You would have contracts trading for less than a dollar, which would make the system a lot less efficient (higher transaction fees etc.), not to mention raising the computational cost of matching contracts when they are exercised (there would be far more contracts to deal with).
In this case I don't see how consolidation of real estate ownership can yield any benefits in terms of efficiency. It seems like if anything it would lead to more sprawl as people are forced to move further from urban areas to buy affordable land.
Go 1.15 Is Released
Console adoption and porting essentially require a game or games that need to be ported. Typically this happens through third party companies for games built on open source projects.
Is there any browser that implements container tabs à la Firefox?
Agreed. I would assume a website about a thing for beginners would explain what the thing is. What is Org Mode and why do I need it?

Those fascists are really getting more and more brutal against people. And population will soon start treating them as they treated fascists during WW2.
I think what would be helpful is to have an option to ignore all voting for purpose of sorting, so that you can vote if you want to, but if you don't like to, you can disable that option and it will display only in the chronological order (it could hide the voting options too if you wanted to, but I suppose it doesn't have to do).

Herding devs to work on the boring-useful things instead of the interesting-solved things is slightly easier than herding cats.
ISPs must follow the laws of the countries they operate in so I am not sure this will work out.

On the flip side, I don't think they can block communications forever, so is that tactic even going to work ?

A bit off-topic, but do you happen to know if there is a way on Windows to intercept syscall instructions? (aside from dynamic analysis/recompilation/etc.?) If there isn't, I assume that's why cheat engines do this?

If anyone here is running Linux and is now researching a "backup plan" in case Firefox pivots, I would highly recommend Epiphany (now called GNOME Web):

Xkit acts purely as an agent for our customers, we don't make use of the access granted ourselves (and as mentioned in another comment, we're happy to sign contracts to that effect). As a result, the consent screen and what users are aware of is the identity of the party they're granting access to - the Xkit customer, not Xkit itself.

As a side note, OAuth2 explicitly supports multiple clients and in fact recommends it if you are using the clients in different contexts. Google implements this pretty effectively imo.
Well, it's slower for one and web features lag for two. But the one that is really the most important to me is security and privacy features. Browsers have effectively made two majors improvements recently - Safari made third party tracking impossible by gradually fully segmenting everything - HTTP caches, LocalStorage, cookies, etc. - and Chrome made JIT exploitation and then Spectre attacks in JavaScript impossible by using process boundary separations and applying sandboxes to purpose built processes. On both fronts, Firefox is behind. Chrome devs are also engaged in active anti-fingerprinting efforts from minor efforts (like reducing the fingerprint-ability in Safari's new APIs, reducing the amount of available by default information in the user agent, or defining SameSite cookies).

I also see privacy issues sit in the Firefox bugtracker. I read about fuzz tests from project zero and elsewhere and realize Firefox is under-fuzzed, both DOM and JS. I finally stopped using Firefox because, as somebody who writes native code for a living and reads about bytecode VMs for fun in my spare time, I could no longer convince myself that it was satisfactorily secure.

What awesome technical choices do you think Mozilla has made recently? I'd love to hear an example. Throwing away the plug-in model to catch up for performance was an necessary technical choice (perhaps), but it was largely solving a self-made problem and catching up with the competition rather than bona fide innovation, so it falls short of "awesome" to me.

VE Day was two and a half decades after the Spanish Flu pandemic.
Which is odd to say the least, because the documentation for a US passport (as of a couple years ago) was less stringent than that required by the REAL ID act.
I bet on self-driving trucks instead. They can go like 95% of the way via highways driverless, only accepting a driver to drive it through a city to a loading ramp, and maybe to a pump midway a very long trip. Drivers will not disappear soon but will provide local service.

Having a driverless car which can navigate through a city would be great, but it is a much more complicated problem to solve.
That basically already exists with barcodes.
Parent indicates that the same power users that hat first adopted Firefox, before it had any market share or was known to regular people around the world, will be the ones who save it. Those are, in industry parlance, "early adopters".

Those early adopters would have been adopting Phoenix 0.2^ which was released in September 2002, that was later released as Firefox 1.0^ two years later — at a time when the only power users could have been those same "early adopters".

Those early adopters would have been as I describe: technical users with the capability to install and operate an unfamiliar browser for the sake of curiosity. (I was still using MSIE in 2002, so it's not like it was universal among technical users either, yet.)

Those early adopters do not represent the total set of power users today.

That gives the consumer one more reason not to hook it up to the network, ever.
Doing it on-device, and storing it on-device are 2 different things.

Shopping data is the most valuable. It is the end result of advertising.

What ad caused you to but that specific product? Can Google show a competitors ad to you?
Those are reason why I like small "single" file libraries in C and C++ (one header, one source file): you know where the source code is, reviewing it is relatively painless, and adding it to your project is dead easy.

Yet I have seen people ignoring the benefits of a 2K lines dependency (in a single compilation unit), over an otherwise equivalent 20K lines dependency (in 100 compilation units) that requires the autotools. (The disadvantages of a particular lightweight dependency is a separate topic.)

You want your modules do be deep: minimum interface for maximum functionality. Dividing the size of an interface by 10 for the same functionality is a pretty sweet deal in most cases. In my opinion, that deal is often underrated.

There's a difference between driving a car/plane and being a passenger in a car/plane.

I don't know of a case of someone being barred from being a passenger in a car, and doubt very much that this would stand up to legal scrutiny. The state does have a public safety interest in mandating who can operate fairly heavy machinery in public though.
Seriously, did he eventually get back to work or what???
Purely a question. So why would I use rust instead of C++ or C# to develop games? what are the potential advantages of that.
I think they have rather different use cases. FFsend is asynchronous because I don't have to be online for my friend to download the file. But it's also less trustworthy than a system based on PAKE. And if you're sending a file to a Windows or Mac user with average technical ability, Wormhole is basically not an option at present.
The thing is that one cannot 'choose' to apply a higher or lower VAT rate.

I would think that knowingly charging for VAT that isn't due may be considered fraud because they tell their customers to pay extra for tax when they know the money isn't tax and will go into their pocket.
Has this actually happened to someone in the last 10 years?
Apple is in the DOW and the DOW is a stupidly weighted index where share price affects what percentage of the index that company holds. Right now a 1% increase in Apple pushes the DOW up 10 times more than a 1% increase in Cocoa Cola.

Companies in the DOW tend to have share prices below $500/ share and most are under $200 and the DOW won't add companies with high stock values as a result (Apple was added only after their last split).

It's likely being in the DOW bolsters and stabilizes stock prices as a lot of indexes are based on a the DOW. It also brings a company a certain prestige.

Whether any of this affects the Apple board's decision to split the stock or not is entirely speculation... it just seems a far more likely reason than the idea that they are splitting to make it accessible to people with $500 they want to invest.
Accessibility does not just refer to retail investors, it also refers to institutional investors who are constrained by liquidity rules; this is why Berkshire Hathaway created its class B shares.
No. FTL travel is impossible without breaking causality. While unleashing energy from matter is something we can already (crudely) do. Even at only 1% of the speed of light, we should be able to explore the entire Milky Way in a dozen million years or so and there are plenty of proposals to transfer energy to an already high speed spacecraft.

Even forgetting high speed travel. If it takes a billion years (less than 10% of the age of the universe) we would still be able to colonize the Milky Way if we're able to either exist on spacecraft for prolonged periods of time or if replicating probes with AI could do so in our stead.

I'm much more of the opinion that exponential tech is self-terminating or that we're being observed by aliens but not largely interfered with or that we're in some sort of simulation or even that we're the first life forms with advanced intelligence and long life spans. The idea that mere physics is what would stop us from reaching the stars when we've already explored our local neighbourhood is just so unbelievable to me. At the very, very least we should be able to communicate over long distances and we've (as yet) been unable to pick up extraterrestrial signals that show signs of intelligence like enumerating the prime numbers, say.
Didn't need shady, just... any javascript, really. No other browser was any better so I don't think anyone thought much of it until Chrome came out with the amazing new feature of per-tab crashing.
Didn't they say it was included for free?
From my limited experience (doing Amethyst's Pong tutorial and glancing through Bevy's home page), Amethyst is more mature and also seems more complex (and presumably more powerful). There's quite a bit of boilerplate to get started, but it gives you very fine-grained control over everything like how assets are loaded, how components are laid out in memory, etc. It seems like it's aiming more for the "real game studio" market than for enthusiasts, although last I checked it's also mainly focused on 2D for the time being.
Or perhaps Konqueror? Seems apt seeing that KDE wrote what became WebKit.

Could you provide us with picture of yourself carrying a salmon? Then we can be sure it is really you.
This also seems like it pretty unambiguously still breaks the law. Has it been tested in court yet?

I wonder if it's kind of a "it's small fry, and these businesses are getting their data back, we'll turn our backs to it unless it's actual violent terrorists receiving ransom money" sort of thing.
I also hate the privacy argument. Anyone can write super-private software, it just needs to do nothing.

Anyone can do better than Google when it comes to privacy, especially if you define "privacy" as "don't do what Google is doing". It is almost a tautology: we first define Google as the opposite of privacy and then market yourself as private by not being Google. In order to drive the point, you add some kind of blocking feature and, yay, private!

In order to be relevant, you need to do more than that. Firefox used to be a great browser not because it was private, but because it was a great browser. It had great support for the latest web technologies, tabbed browsing before IE, it was fast, etc... And because of that it managed to make a dent in IE market share. But now, what does it have that Chrome doesn't besides not being from Google? Firefox even lost most of its identity by discontinuing XUL (for good reasons, I know) and updating its UI to look more like Chrome. I use both browsers on a day-to-day basis and Chrome tends to work better on average, though Firefox seems to be slowly catching up. I don't know what the situation is with Servo but it might be what Firefox needs.

Another example would be DuckDuckGo. Again, it caught the "privacy" virus. Please, no, "private" just means you are a proxy for inferior Bing results in this case. The worst part is that DDG has more to offer than "privacy", like instant answers and bangs. Why not market these instead?
I wonder how this policy has changed over the years. Disney used to have a virtual world called VMK that did allow for communication between users. This being Disney, there was a (highly restrictive) whitelist of words that could be used; this being the internet, users found lots of clever word combinations to evade the filters.
>That a market reaches saturation usually means that the demand is met

A limit is a limit, doesn't matter if that's a demand limit, or a production limit, or a resource limit. The effect is still the same. Being under limits, makes things zero sum. If those limits were suddenly removed or increased temporarily, things would return to not being zero sum - at least until you hit another limit.

>It is rare that it means that not more can be produced.

In practicality sure. I'm sure we could make more basketballs than we do now. But physically speaking, you'd eventually hit limits. The earth is not infinite... we certainly could not make more basketballs than there is mass of earth itself. At which point we would either have to make new basketballs out of old basketballs, (zero sum), or raise our limits (mine matter out of other celestial bodies).
Vladimir Putin allegedly made his own daughter take the vaccine.

Yes, I've had it happen. Not in subtle ways - usually a size check would show that something is very wrong anyway, but I appreciate the peace of mind. I usually like to bake a check into automation and had that catch things like the binary being replaced by a 404 page, etc... When I update the version I pull, I also update the checksum.
Tesla produces real things, yes, any they have already driven change in the car industry. But even if Tesla displaces all other carmakers, which isn't likely, there is a total limit to the car market.

Another reason to tell why Tesla's stock is in bubbly conditions is the timing. Why is it soaring up right now? Is there some event that makes it more likely that people buy cars? No. The current events actually point towards the opposite direction of a recession, where people don't buy new cars. But they are overruled by different events which are more about more about money not knowing where it should go.

This video makes some very interesting points on the "too much money in the markets" question: https://youtu.be/Im0rzTWplwU
Brendan Eich donated to a proposal opposed to same sex marriage during a year that Barack Obama was opposed to same sex marriage. Do you believe that Barack Obama's opposition to same sex marriage should have made him unsuitable for any executive employment (i.e. in the private sector as a CEO, or in the public sector as a Mayor, Governor, or POTUS)?

At companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple, you can work on a browser regardless of your political views. At Mozilla, you need to think a certain way first. A smaller pool of technical talent to choose from leads to worse technical leadership. Recall that Eich only became the CEO (over the opposition of a portion of the board) after months where Mozilla was searching and couldn't find anybody better. It's not that the people who have particular political views are particularly talented, it's just that some of them are talented, just like the people who disagree with them. If you can include talented people of all stripes, you can do better than if you restrict yourself to talented people from a single ideological group.
SAST and SCA: Putting the Puzzle Together
From the Wikipedia entry:

> there was no constitutional violation because air passengers could still travel without identification if they instead underwent the more stringent "secondary screening" search

I wasn't aware that I could decline to show ID at an airport security checkpoint in favor of undergoing a secondary screening. Does this actually work in practice?

(Also, I wonder how it squares with automated facial recognition and similar biometric technology?)
Never take afternoon advice from a programmer about how to run a business.

Because at the end of the day, that's what team management and engineering teams are. Functional units of a business. And advice like the OP's will lead you to death by a million shed bikes.

But for side projects, sure, have fun with it.
True, there's a spectrum. There's the "download wizard" stub installers, then "interactive only" installers, then the ones with unattended command-line flags, and then there's native support for the operating package management format.

In Windows there are further nuances, such as installing per-user, per-machine, or both. Similarly, MSI support often implies support for transforms (MST files) and patches (MSP files) also, which is important on large networks. Back in the days of constrained bandwidths, MSPs were great for rolling out updates without killing the WAN, but few vendors would provide them.

Firefox tended to prefer the interactive install wizard installers and hence deploying it at scale was an enormous pain in the arse.

For example, the Enterprise CA thing actually interacted with the packaging. You had to crack open the Firefox files, download some obscure NSS command-line tool that they regularly moved around on their website to spite admins, and inject your corporate certificates into the Firefox-specific Root CA file. After this, everything had to be put back together in some way for deployment, typically by repackaging the files into an MSI.

Similarly, instead of ADM Templates that allow settings to be pushed out via Group Policy, you had to do hideous things to JavaScript files. These also changed regularly and had all sorts of limitations.

There was just no way anyone in their right mind would do this every few weeks to keep up with the Firefox release schedule. IT admins have other things to do, not just babysitting Firefox, the one special and unique flower that refuses to play nice with Windows.

The only other obstinately anti-admin products I can think of that were this bad were the Java Runtime and the Adobe suite of products. Even Adobe provided an ADM template at least, even though they published it as a PDF.
It is many good idea, but should need a better customization, and perhaps better keyboard commands, Xaw widgets, bitmap fonts, etc. Support specifying pipes and stuff for files like Heirloom-mailx does. What we need is the browser that you have enough ropes to hang yourself and also a few more just in case, and NetSurf may be the one to base it from. Make it for the user first; assume any file received is potentially hostile (whether or not the connection is secure; a secure connection merely prevents spies from tampering with it, it does not prevent the server operator from tampering with it!). Support specifying scripts that the user can replace with their own implementaiton; this would ensure that the user can alter any document received, and would even make it more efficient too since the user's implementation need not be written in an interpreted programming language and need not be sandboxed as much either.
There are many reasons, but to name a few important to me: rust gives performance on the level of C++, but with the memory safety of a garbage-collected language. It also provides protection against data races so that you can use concurrency with less chance of hard-to-debug issues.
Adding a dependency is like adopting a puppy. Sure it seems free.. but it's not. It may be the best thing to do, but go in with eyes open on the costs.

Something like left-pad, absolutely never worth it. Something like OpenSSL, basically always worth it (warts and all). Everything in the middle, evaluate carefully.

When adopting a dependency you're adopting all their development practices. Do they break backward compatibility every minor release because compatibility is for the boring people? Never address CVEs? Every additional dependency constrains your future self by a little bit. These add up.
CA county emails sample ballot by mail opt-out from hedge fund-owned domain
It's a very understandable mindset and I tend to sympathize with it. On the other hand, fast-tracked does not necessarily mean less safe.

As far as my understanding for clinical trials goes, we can still have the exact same tests with the exact same criteria and quality but still speed up the overall process. Simply by eliminating the default waterfall and accepting higher financial risk. (Also higher medical risk, but only within the trials, not for the end-product).

Usually, one would run the various trials strictly in order:

trial_stage = 0;
while (trial_stage < 4)
execute(trial_stage)
if (evaluate(trial_stage) == success)
trial_stage++
do

Under pressure, we can start the next stage while the previous one is not finished yet. This means higher financial risk, as you are investing already into stage II even if you do not know if stage I will in the end be successful. This also implies higher medical risk for stage II but this risk stays within the trials.
Note that places where the local currency is actually collapsing aren't seeing much cryptocurrency adoption. In Argentina people just buy USD. In Zimbabwe people were using equities in the local stock market as hedge against inflation [1].
