Are there any documents describing the actual user experiences of using Bridgefy or Briar in a real life scenario. They seem like cool tools using interesting technology but I am not convinced that they work well in practice and it is difficult to find much information about where they have been used successfully.

TL;DR: refusal to sign a collective agreement escalated into an all-out boycott of the company. In the end, the workers won.

"Toys “R” Us was both an exception to the rule —even McDonald's was forced to sign a collective agreement — and a warning for other corporations that they must adapt to the Swedish model or fail"

Far from it. The Jewish people don't control "the media" or facebook, there may be a person that happen to be Jewish that have a role or a job somewhere. Mentioning the "Jewish people" in this context does not make any sense beyond perpetuating stereotypes and the fact that you don't even seem to understand this makes Facebook's decision even more obvious.

I think it depends on what exactly you need before, during and/or after the protest.

Generally, I think Briar is your best bet for the organisers of the protest, since it's meant to communicate a group of people, but not broadcast data to anyone (inc. strangers). It can help you before, during and after the protest. However, you'll need a connection to the Internet to synchronise over what you describe as mid- and long-ranges (it'd use Tor in that case).

One thing to note is that when a repressive regime cuts off the Internet, it never gets to 100% of the affected population. At a minimum, certain government institutions will remain connected, but often also international organisations and hotels. Of course, in practice, finding which places remain connected to the Internet will be hard, but these are some of the places you could try. Also, if you have a land border and a SIM from the neighbour country, you'll generally get mobile access near the border.

During the protest, I think the Qual.net project is worth considering, although I must admit I haven't tried it myself.

Please, do not use FireChat or Bridgefy. They're pretty insecure: Data is neither encrypted or signed.

Shameless plug:

I'm leading the Relaynet project (https://relaynet.network/), a technology to restore connectivity when the Internet is totally cut off. Relaynet-compatible apps will use the Internet seamlessly when it's available, but they'll switch to a fallback medium (such as a sneakernet) when the Internet is cut off. No additional hardware required.

Relaynet's proof of concept made it possible to post and receive tweets without the Internet and we're currently funded by the Open Technology Fund. The protocol suite has been independently audited. The Android implementation will be ready by the end of the summer (and it'll also be audited).

Although we're focusing on connecting the general public, the security and privacy guarantees it offers should also be adequate for protesters (subject to the security/privacy guarantees of the Relaynet apps they use). Consequently, the initial version of Relaynet should come in handy before and after protests, and once we add support for Bluetooth-based meshnets (aka "scatternets"), it should also support protesters during a protest.
It's splitting hairs, really. "Jews control the media" has taken on negative connotations, but it is basically just a more concise version of an objective observation like this, for example: "Jews are extraordinarily overrepresented in all mainstream forms of media in the West, including Hollywood, news, and television, especially in positions with significant influence over the content, such as producers, executives, and writers."

I don't accept that I have a moral obligation to ignore reality (or worse, deny it).
> Your point was Mozilla could be a strong voice in WebStandards?

Yes, kind of. One among multiple strong-ish actors. So Google would have the Edge team and Mozilla against them. My reasoning was there would be more counter-weight than with Mozilla doing their thing while slowly being marginalized.

But perhaps I was too optimistic regarding the world's dependance on Google Services (or rather as the worlds perceives it).

Independently of this hypothetical scenario I hope (and still belieive) there are still enough circles remaining which aren't that much associated with Google Services to sustain a user base for alternative products. Rainbows and unicorns again...
Indeed, that would be fast, but maybe the virus is in a category we have already seen and created vaccines for before.

There seems to be already about 6 large scale tests in progress in the world (ie. after lab/animal/small group), that's a good sign.

Anyway, I don't see much reason for Dr. Fauci to make such kind of statement if it was still really years away.

The tests will tell where we are, we'll see in a month or two.

With regards to coding, yeah maybe speed of entering text doesn't matter that much, but IMHO speed of navigating around and changing text might still matter. Being able to "blindly" edit the text IMHO makes a difference. Also usually as a developer, in my experience writing non-code text (email, chat etc) is still taking a lot of time
For our modest cloud infra, InfluxData TICK (InfluxDB, Kapacitor, Chronograf and Telegraf) stack has fitted exactly with our needs.

The Foot Traffic Report
When I learned to type back in the 1990s, I used Tipp-Ex (a correction fluid, an opaque fast-drying white liquid) to cover up the keycap letters on my keyboard, to force myself to move away from four-fingered typing with occasional keyboard glances.

It wasn't enough though. What pushed me over the edge though was switching to Dvorak. That forced me to learn. I can type Qwerty, just extremely slowly, but the only place I ever need to use a Qwerty keyboard these days is the touch keyboard on my phone.

This was the only important team in the whole Mozilla organization. I'm looking for a browser to beat Chrome on my mobile on performance, and Servo was the best competitor.

At the same time this is not a big surprise to me: Mozilla was already becoming a PM driven organization instead of an engineer driven one. At least they gave us Rust, that will live on and be extremely successful.
In Germany we often paint someone black for the christmas story (Holy Three Kings). I think that will also be cancelled because of the failed American educational system.

What I Learned from My First Full-Stack App After University, Docker Security
Blank keys helped me to (touch) type more efficiently, I was already able but I did find myself often looking at the keyboard anyway so I fancied buying a Das Keyboard Ultimate (also partly for the geek factor).

I now use a variety of keyboards but often opt for 60% keyboards as I am more concerned with ergonomics than I am touch typing. I _would_ go for a true ergonomic keyboard like an Ergodox or Dactyl but they aren't very compatible with my mobile working and it would be a real pain everytime I hopped onto a colleagues keyboard or similar (or expected colleagues to use mine).

One thing I am keen to try out and that the OP might want to consider is Ortholinear keyboards. That diagram color coding the keys for fingers is a perfect demonstration of why non-linear keyboards are not best suited for our hands.
PTSD? Hard to tell; it would have been endemic at that time between and after the two great wars. You can detect traces of it in his later work; more directly, having encountered actual Stalinists in Catalonia he became a committed anti-Communist while remaining a socialist, an important political distinction which it is hard for some modern readers to understand.

Orwell would have seen trauma before Catalonia, during his time as a colonial policeman in Burma. "Shooting an Elephant" https://www.orwell.ru/library/articles/elephant/english/e_el... gives a taste of that. (obvious content warning applies)

Konqueror is at this point just one of many WebKit browsers. Last time I checked (2011 when having a chat with one of the devs) they had two devs working on it in their sparetime, which is clearly not enough for a project of that scale. Some time after that, Konqueror switched from KHTML to WebKit as its default rendering engine, and at this point, I don't think KHTML is around anymore (or if it is, it's only around in kdelibs to satisfy API compatibility requirements).

This is unfortunately going to end badly. We're still in a fairly decent position on the diminishing returns curve for banning offensive content, but it's already a far cry from what people were talking about censoring even a year ago.

The logical extreme for this sort of thing would be the censoring of anything that isn't as bland and boring as a history textbook (for exactly the same reasons). I expect there will be stronger and stronger pushback before it goes this far into the ridiculous, but this will be the general direction that every offence-taking group pushes things in.

The left can't take a joke. The right can't take criticism of orthodoxy.
They should have switched to blink or WebKit years ago. Yes I used Firefox since it came out of AOL but for quite a few years now it has been a liability. Too many web sites simply don't work in Firefox. Nobody making web sites tests in Firefox any more. The Mozilla leadership adopted the head in the sand approach on this point with the obvious outcome. So long and thanks for all the fish!
I'm considering giving Vivaldi (created by ex-Opera founder and CEO) a shot. Yes, it's another Chromium-based browser and it's not open source, but neither was Opera back when I used it (version 9 & 10).
I was speaking from a French perspective and I broadly thought it was pretty similar in most of W.E. I do not know the legislation and the jurisprudence in the Dutch case. Mea culpa if am wrong outside of France
Not just straight men. Gay men too. I complained to Apple about this and they didn’t care.

On iOS at least you can get around this. Create a profile aged 18 and purchase a subscription. Now sign out and create your real profile and use the “restore purchases” option.
Chrome and Safari all belong to the same family. Blink is a fork of Webkit. Making Chrome the strongest family member in terms of market share.

Also i strongly suppose parent was refering to Edge migrating to Chromium.
> IMO the easy way out would still be to paint people, but to paint them in some weird colour.

This is what some English / Welsh "Border Morris" dancers do. This page shows a wide mix. There's full black, half black or black shapes, soot-like smudges[1], mixed black and colour, or full non-black colour.

Would be handy if they applied this to an internal shop level Google Maps

Would cut the need to speak to shop staff, who in many places in larger cities don't have the language skills to know what you're looking for.
> One thing that always frustrates me a bit whenever Mozilla comes up on HN or elsewhere is that we are always held to impossibly high standards. Yes, as a non-profit, we should be held to higher standards, but not impossible standards.

Standards for Mozilla do not come alone from being an NGO, but from the promises Mozilla makes and the history. Breaking promises and forgetting it's origin seems to be the main source of hate against mozilla, besides of course the fails themself.

> Did we apologize?

Nope.

> Did we learn anything?

Nope.

> Did we work to prevent it happening again?

Nope.
But some were even repeated.

> Mozilla is such an important voice in shaping the future of the internet.

Is this still a thing? I get the impression that mozilla today has just become a small unimportant voice, mostly just following the choral. Even Microsoft seems to be now stronger in that regard.

Ask HN: How do you stay informed without social media?
Like most HN users here I'm a software engineer (full-stack JS if that matters) so by "staying informed" I'm not referring to general news (what you'd find typically in say The Economist, WSJ, etc...), rather I'm referring to tech-related news.
> If there's a current increase in such things, I'd blame it on the factors and regulations restricting the legal supply of these things rather than on airbnb/uber.

Curious, do you live in a city that's affected by this? I live in Edinburgh, and it's a massive problem here, almost entirely due to AirBnb. It's widely reported on pretty much every news source in the UK that the cause of this issue is Airbnb's (and other short term holiday lets), in a massive number of cases operating illegally (last number I saw was that <100 of the 7000+ lets in the 100sq miles of Edinburgh were legally registered)

They are paid to work on whatever platforms the customer is hiring their guns for.

And again we managed as solo developers, or with very tiny teams to do that in the context of 8 and 16 bit home micros, which meant writing lots of Assembly and hardware specific code in the process.

So I guess strangely younger generations cannot manage to go to school bare foots uphill in snow both ways.

I don't understand. The goverment created an a product list of items to sell, which amazon then tried to create an essential product list which contained these items?

I don't understand whats the problem with that?

According to Amazon they found it difficult to workout what was and wasn't an essential item according to the rules. I would imagine with a catalog as big amazon that's probably true. They decided to shutdown instead which is perfectly rational given the amount fines placed upon them if they did accidentally ship an item. The goverment got what they requested, no non essential items shipped.

I would imagine amazon would have preferred to keep operating, so I believe them.

I'm in the same boat as you! Just started working on proper touch-typing a few weeks ago, as I sometimes found myself being ashamed of my self-taught ~7-finger typing system.

Commenting primarily to see what others have to say about your idea, since I can notice that sometimes when I don't pay full attention I tend to use my "old" mental keymap and cheat a little bit.
Sure, but would you rather spend $300 on nostalgia or, say $150, if it can run the same software, and looks similar? If I were to buy one, $150 is doable, $300 is GTFO. I do have "nostalgia" - I learned Assembly on a Soviet ZX Spectrum clone.
They should be more transparent about their pricing, but it seems to me like they offer different demographics fundementaly different services so charging different amounts isn't unreasonable.

Really, Brad? Software Engineers need a hippocratic oath?

This is the most hypocritical, low-minded dirty blow, pass-the-buck mentality I have seen in a long time. That's even counting most of what Trump has said. You should be ashamed of yourself, Brad.

How dare you make that remark when your WHOLE PLATFORM is built on shady business practices and monopoly leveraging? How dare you try to shunt the blame on software engineers when YOU YOURSELF profit from lack of ethics and participate in systematic blacklisting of engineers? You earn seven figures a year AT LEAST and are trying to blame people just doing their jobs, and telling them they should look at the big picture and they should "have principles" to basically refuse to work or quit? While at the same time actively preventing these kinds of people from finding ethical work elsewhere?

Put your money where your mouth is or stop spewing Trumpian bullshit, Brad. Anybody who buys this needs to have their head examined. With a cactus.
Someone else could use the app and send their image to the friend who wants to fly. Though I imagine it could be something smart like the app for UK bus passes where the background contains an animation or Apple when you scan a phone to upgrade from.
There are far fewer fake reviews at amazon.de (well, compared to what I read on HN) and surprisingly many that are high quality. I think it might be partially because the reviews would need to be in German so you have fewer low-cost ways to have them created.

And I’m not sure we have co-mingling here because I never heard of the problems that seem to be common in the US (/ on HN) with it and also never experienced it myself (I spend around 2.200 € on Amazon per year)
