Is the sane solution then not some sort of encouragement of greater stock market participation? Where when the "factory owner" wins, everybody wins, because everyone has shares in the factory?

Then the incentives are aligned - the more productive, technologically advanced the economy is, the greater your stock returns and the better off you are.

Is that not more or less the case for many people that have lived in the developed world for generations? You do not need to save a lot every month in order for it to compound into a meaningful stock ownership after 200 years. Median household net worth in the UK is £300'000, and that includes many many recent arrivals. For comparison, with a net worth of £500'000, you could draw ~£15'000/year in perpetuity if you wanted - is that not a much better alternative to UBI?
It's not quite the same thing, but on your comment about the platform affecting the art, you might find this dicussion about music interesting: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/28/18642978/music-streaming-...

> One of the main things that has changed is how people are getting paid, and it’s is affecting how songs are being written. In the past, you used to get paid if you sold an album or a single. In 1995, we had songs that were coming in at four minutes and 30 seconds. Today, songs are down to three minutes and 42 seconds, because of the difference in how artists are getting paid now. Instead of getting paid by physical sales, you’re getting paid in a stream, which only counts if someone listens to 30 seconds of a song. It actually makes sense if you can have more songs streamed at a time, which means that you want to pack your album full of much shorter songs. So if you have an album like Drake’s Scorpion, which is a really long double album coming in at almost 90 minutes, he’s got a ton of really short songs on there, because he gets paid for every song you listen to, whether or not you listen to the whole album.

> Not only are songs getting shorter, but the way artists are introducing their songs is changing. Gone is the era of long intros that sort of slowly get you into the song. Today, we are not only seeing songs getting shorter, but there is a sort of a new song structure that we’ve observed that we’ve called the pop overture, where basically a song, at the very beginning, will play a hint of the chorus in the first five to 10 seconds so that the hook is in your ear, hoping that you’ll stick around till about 30 seconds in when the full chorus eventually comes in.
Rust market itself as replacement for C/C++ and proclaims as if all code written in C/C++ is garbage and only Rust can solve it, when majority of it's own useful crates heavily rely on unsafe "C/C++" code.

So "Pure Rust" is also marketing when you look at the crates used by this software are not Pure Rust, but rely on unsafe code of C underneath.

Python, PHP do not claim as C/C++ replacement, indeed Python is synonymous with CPython written in C.

In Rust community so far what I noticed is that they try to down-vote anything which shows them that Go language or Swift are more important systems programming language and Rust needs another 10 years to reach to write enough useful software like Go or Swift.

Also in Python look at the example of pure python HTTP server Cheroot [1] and check how many PyPI packages it relies on. Also it can run in CPython, PyPy or Jython or any implementation of Python. Rust does not have anything like this yet so using Pure is misleading given it only has one compiler dependent on LLVM (written in C++) to generate target binary.

This is the key point here. Google (Chrome), Apple (Safari) and MIcrosoft (Edge) funnel money from other ventures to their browser dev teams.
For Apple and Microsoft it’s just a staple tool that each operating system needs but for Google it’s a platform that guides users towards their other services and ties them in, YouTube, Gmail, Drive, to name but a few.

In the current business model, there’s absolutely no competing with them long term. You’d have to either break them up or create some weird funding schemes driven by govs and users that don’t care (public good or some other utilitarian argument).
How do you increase the pagespeed of your site?
> to the point it may as well have been written in C

Mildly disagree. Even if half the code base is unsafe, that's better than a code base where everything is unsafe. Now I only have to audit half the code base for crazy shit, which is about half the effort. A stronger type system means that even in unsafe land, we can still encode some invariants better.

I disagree with this notion that "if you're going to have bugs anyway, what's the point of Rust". Our goal isn't to eliminate every bug in the world, it's to have fewer bugs today than we did yesterday. Rust, even Rust with several unsafes thrown in, helps us achieve that goal.
This isn't a scientific study of course, but still I do miss the negative reference (i.e. without any detergent). Additionally, it would be nice to quantify the 'cleanness' of a run (perhaps weighing the dishes before and after?). Hmm, perhaps we should take this study to the next level ;-).

Probably less legal. No court will convict you of stealing that cocaine, but a lot of courts would convict you of computer attack. Don't forget that when attacking, you're almost certainly not attacking just the phisher, but a lot of middlemen.
Why "states or NGO's" rather than nimble, grassroots campaigns via crowdfunding? The latter seems to be working quite well for a bunch of projects, while "institutional", politicized funding is a lot harder to come by and brings its own unwanted distortions.

Yeah, I'm happy to keep track of all my third party software that I install manually and I never forget about what applications I have installed so far and I always update my packages manually when there are any security flaws and I get to know about all the security flaws right away when they are discovered because I'm on all seclists. Even if I forget to update my third party apps/packages, my third party apps/packages remind me of the new updates and I never turn the update-notifications off.

> But Firefox is not so much better than Chromium in any of these points to warrant payment.

I vastly prefer Firefox and always did for some reason (I keep testing Opera, Vivalidi, Chromium and what not but none of them clicked with me) but I still see you point, it would be hard for many to justify a high price even if they prefer it.

I'd still happily pay for Firefox (not Mozilla) but I'd consider it an insurance more than an investment at the moment.
One kid teaching another is nice occasional exercise.

It is absolutely not solution to lack of teachers. Even teacher having 15 bad students the same time is better then one kid trying to be tutor.

It is also quite unfair expectation to be placed on a kid.

It rely on other crates, have they been verified not to use C/C++ (i.e. all are written from scratch without interacting with C/C++)?

This software is as good as the crates it depends on to do those work. If those crates are not maintained this software will not work either.

Also I am expecting down-vote of this comments as well given the way Rust community works. :-)
Yep, storage and networking are two things that I haven't mentioned in the post but they definitely annoy. Sometimes (rarely but it happens) network breaks and Docker Swarm falls apart, we then have to restart it.

Storage is ughh.
What does that mean in practice though?

I can say that every finite computational problem can be solved in O(1), so if the universe is finite, all real problems can be solved in O(1).

This sounds great until you realise that the constant factors involved would overwhelm any practical instance of this strategy.
Maybe ask yourself first, if you need 1000 employees and a CEO with a salary of 2.5 million/year to build a browser. That's the way to think about this.

Oh, and I would happily pay/donate to Mozilla for Firefox and Thunderbird, but not for all the other "adventures" they went after. VPN service... As if there were not enough of those already...
No amount of requesting donations will ever support an organization the size of Mozilla. It's annual budget is half a billion dollars.

I also consider reverting to "nagware" a huge step back. Either you sell a product, monetize part of it, or offer it for free - giving it away "for free" while sneaking in a shower of requests for money is the worst possible outcome.
I personally would like to distinguish between donations to the Firefox product and Mozilla as a company. I donated every month for a year, but eventually didn't feel that my contributions were making it to the actual devs making a difference. Or even balancing the books. I cannot explain why, but something feels off about Mozilla. I'm not being conspiratorial, but is Mozilla really one of the "good guys"?

Probably the same way an exchange offering leverage would, they just liquidate your holdings in the event prices drop too low, immediately call your loan right after, and then return whatever remainder there is to you.
The Snowden stuff was the event that shook me to my core. I was a happy technologist till then, thinking that such was the nature of life and progress simply was unfolding in front of me.

However, the way the event was covered by the media - told a different story. The media focussed on the man rather than the info he provided, so the conversation was 'where was he?', 'where was his girlfriend?', etc - that told me everything. They hardly touched on what was provided and what that meant (that we were being spied on 24/7). And what was provided took years to come out...... So, the media are complicit - just another arm of the governance structure we find. The intercept, the MSM, all are just playing a role in mis-informing the people.

Since then, I have even come to change my views on the Snowden event itself. I think this was an intentional release of data, an orchestrated event. Snowden is probably a character created by some agency. He may not be a real person - things like bits of his glasses disappearing indicate that he could be CGI. Perhaps this sounds crazy - but if you are in the business of governance, you want to manage everything, even the opposition. (Think 1984 and the way that the opposition is created and controlled in that book).

Why would "they" create Snowden and the release of apparently top secret files?

Well, if you know what is coming you do not respond with shock, you do not reject it out of hand. You acclimatise to the new reality. There was little we could do with the Snowden event, except watch it play out. We were put on notice and informed of what was/is coming. And what's coming is a technocratic system with very fine grained control in the hands of the technocrats.
Is it a protected computer?
It's hardly ideal. But, to counter - you don't have to trust Brendan Eich that there's no anti-gay, anti-Uyghur, etc code in Firefox.

You do have to trust google, because of the telemetry. Trusting any powerful party based on public, virtuous statements is... "optimistic" is one word. "Reckless" is another.
FWIW, correctly or incorrectly, I just read the OP as saying that people who have already been infected might not need to be vaccinated because they already have been exposed. So that figure might be smaller than what the BBC is floating. Not saying that affects the challenge appreciably, just that I read it differently.
They need to be clear however that the money goes to the browser.

At H5mag we use bare VMs and deploy using Debian packages. Build them with a Gitlab runner, push to a package server. Let the ‘nodes’ update themselves. It’s really nice since the only dependencies you have for deploying are rock solid.
This "recession" was due to government shutting down the economy and not economic reasons. When things are allowed to operate "normally" again, there is bound to be a bounce back. It also probably took a bit of time for the trillions in stimulus to have an effect. The indication of trillions more in stimulus coming probably doesn't hurt either.
You can call people greedy as much as you want, but you have to pay market rate or you can’t find a CEO at all.

I am not going to financially support an organisation that redistributes its resources to political affiliated groups. Why would I support an organisation that encourages censorship and works together with the ADL to bring thought and information control to social media platforms?

Why would I support mozilla, when they make donations on my behalf to the OPSEC of the so called radical left through riseup.net (So called because all these groups work in the interrest of american corporatism).

When Mozilla goes bottom up, and something new springs from its rotten carcass, then I will consider contributing financially to a free and open internet.
Fine work!
In bash '\' would escape the character behind it. In this case, newline was escaped, which means you could ignore the newline character and treat those lines as one line.
regarding local environments,

have you faced performance issues? running 5-6 docker images (app,redis,db,mq etc) at the same time has been causing the machine to lag for us. most of my team is on the 16 inch macbook.
Those donations don't go to the company.
In isolation, no.

In context of mozillas goals, challenges that arise when leading a company, and limited influence on the movement of the world, maybe. I doubt that either of us is close enough to the ground to realistically be a judge of that.

I remember when free access to the web and its technologies was something good. From having a free browser, free web server (as in Apache/Linux, not the hardware/connection) to being able to read the very HTML code that's used to send you that stuff.

What are you talking about? What drowning? The clinical picture hasn't been that different compared to previous years with outbreaks of respiratory illnesses. In fact in some countries the death rates have actually been lower. The only reason this year we are talking about it is because for some reason it became a huge media thing. There was no reason previous years to not talk about respiratory illnesses. They have always been serious thing and people are dying each year from them. They have always been dangerous to elderly people and people with other illnesses. I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe all of a sudden.

I'm a bit surprised to see so much opposition to vaccination here on HN, I would have thought that this would be a very pro-science and pro-vaccination crowd.

As far as my understanding goes, herd immunity is not a real alternative to vaccinations. Herd immunity means that a very large percentage of the population, spread evenly across every community, would have to be infected and recover, another commenter cited a source estimating between 50% and 80%[0].

This means getting basically everybody infected, the reason a vaccine would be necessary is that we don't want everybody to get infected because it carries significant risks to health and life with it.

Also the timeframe needed to reach such high percentages of immunity would be very long. Looking at the US, if you assume a continued infection rate of 50 000 new infections each day (much more would probably mean overwhelming hospital capacities) it would take 8 years just to reach the 50% threshold, 13 years to reach 80%.
Lot of time and suffering saved by going the vaccine route.

> It doesn't matter that their local Purchase Power might be greater

It matters because it means that the economies are not directly comparable.

You said they can only do that "without paying US prevailing market wages to the contractors." as if that is somehow an unfair advantage. But if their workers don't need US salaries to have a good living standard, because purchasing power is higher, and are not being exploited, where does the problem actually lie?
Hilarious story:

I was hired to look into why a WordPress site was so slow back in 2010. It turned out the site was hacked and they were hosting a spam viagra site on the side. When I brought it to their attention, the owner asked: "Can we keep it up? It will help our traffic numbers for investors and probably our Google ranking."

I literally face-palmed.
Here's an example where nbconverts a notebook and a template into a formatted tex file, and then a journal-ready PDF:

https://codeocean.com/capsule/9155944/tree/v1

The nbconvert syntax is

jupyter nbconvert --exec --to latex --template ieee.tplx --output ../results/editorial.tex editorial.ipynb

and then `pdflatex` converts the tex file to a PDF
While funny, real-looking fake login data might be more useful, as it's probably real easy to filter the few large requests. Unless, of course, you bring down the server and stop the whole operation (for a time).

It would be quite interesting to do a study on both options using a honeypot-account (to detect whether the login could be extracted by the spammer).
And if you disable it, some helpful co-worker will helpfully re-enable it and add a bunch of red text as "comments".
I value time the further into my professional life I get. So for me, paying for good quality documentation, wether it comes in form of a website or a book, is a better bargain than me trying to read up on 10 blog posts and going down the rabbit hole of the source code.
Sure, but the point is that by running your own K8S you're running a cloud provider. Which is fine, if your business is being a cloud provider. If not, let someone else do it, they'll be better at it.
I have no gripe with Cilium being marketed in this way, it's good and I think eBPF deserves more recognition, it's an amazing piece of tehcnology and opens up even more possibilities for people building things using Linux systems as blocks (and for regurlar sysadmins too).

But in the projects section it says:

> * In order to be listed as a major project as opposed to an emerging project, the project must have more than 50 contributors

Come on! Is, say, 40 a bad number? eBPF is still very much developing, and setting such arbitrary limits makes little sense.
maybe scale is not needed ,but how do you achieve resiliency with bare metal VMs without adding LB and watchdog layers (which is what k8s is anyway)?
I recommend Michael Widenius's video[1] about "Doing business with Open Source" it goes trough different models, and explains the reasoning behind MySQL license model, although I'm aware how different is a browser from a database it might help to think about this problem from different angles.

In the case of Firefox, if I'm not mistaken they do only consumer focus products, maybe they could release something that companies are willing to pay for.

They could captilize on the good reputation while it lasts, and maybe employees that resonate with Mozilla history will promote their products to their bosses for free.

>Linux packages have a higher bar to meet for integration quality

Isn't it actually a lower bar?

They don't have to follow the platform's look and feel and UI libs (there isn't a standard, a distro can package Gnome, GTK+ only, KDE, XFCE, even CDE and Athena stuff, plus all kinds of ad-hoc UIs). They don't have to work with the same shortcuts, use the same system for configuration, or even play well with the same window compositor...

When it comes to "integration quality" in Linux it's mostly "compiles with the distro's version of libs".
