I think you should look back at Mozilla's mission before making a statement like that.

As Kvark wrote above [1]:

> Mozilla is not a software company today that tries to be an internet activist. Mozilla is an activist company that also happens to develop software to prove their point. So no, it's not just about the web browser.

That doesn’t prevent injection, and the solution to injection attacks is using parameterized queries and prepared statements, not switching to MongoDB. Plus ORMs (really query builders) already provide behavior like this against SQL databases anyway.
Incorrect. I cannot do these jobs. I would quickly lose my ability to walk and use my hands. And no one hires someone who randomly needs to take weeks off and can only work 5-10 hours a week when they can work at all.

Not sure why you think you know what my limitations are. Or where you get the idea that employers actually hire disabled people. Look at the unemployment rate for disabled people.
Unfortunately web browsers cost money to make and maintain and people at large have shown they won't buy one the old fashioned way. Finding something that works is a hard problem.
So why don’t we sanction the whole country then? Why single out this one app?

Everything is innovation today. It's why every single tech presenter has to creepily emulate Steve Jobs in some way. To give you the innovation vibe.
Some assets are indivisible, so increasing value makes it unaffordable. You can't buy a fraction of a house.

For things like stocks, if the increased value is driven by inflation, you get less for your money. So it takes more money to store the same amount of value there.
Somehow I feel like they could have avoided a lot of the backlash by renaming Pocket to Firefox Pocket (and thus being part of the Firefox Lockwise, Firefox Send, Firefox Sync etc suite). Instead of being / feeling like it’s own separate entity, it would have felt like an integral part of Firefox and thus enjoying the same privacy commitments.
Even though I have Pocket disabled I don’t see much of a problem with it being in the browser. Isn’t it the same concept as Safari’s Reading List?

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is the green shoots of a new and innovative financial system. It will break, it will be hacked, but longterm I believe this is the direction of finance - borderless, global, instant, peer to peer. Artificial barriers / borders / regulations simply don't matter when the mechanism for such transfers and investment are unstoppable and permission-less.

Look at Compound Finance - $2 billion+ in assets deposited and over $1 billion borrowed https://compound.finance/markets

This can't be stopped - and there is no government regulating it!
> Mozilla is an activist company that also happens to develop software to prove their point.

Then they should prioritize actions over words. Their blog posts paint a very different world from the one where they often ignore their users.
Great post.

I'd love to see one talking about building a full stack app using Yew and Actix (or Rocket). And good ways of sharing types between the frontend and the backend.
"Firing Eich because of his political views is virtue signalling. I don't use Firefox because of Mozilla's political views."
I disagree, the relational model is very incongruous with the object model that nearly all LOB applications use. Which is where 99% of the usage issues lie.
Because oddly enough, you can't buy classic cars as investment if you don't have the money.
>Why imagine? I have emacs open and it's doing this with React right now (tide mode)

Cool, so Emacs understand that there are 2 different components and not get confused by react/angular sepecial syntax ? At this point is Emacs still a text editor as the initial comment that start this thread said or it become an IDE buy extending it with enough plugins? (see how this comment thread started)
Not the worst idea to specifically point out scenarios with a high ratio of actual-vs-perceived danger
This seems like a fairly intuitive conclusion; it's commonly accepted that just the act of trying to remember something solidifies the memory in your brain [1]. It would follow that the act of using language in context, instead of just hearing it, would result in increased vocabulary and language ability.
Yes, I specifically addressed that point in my post:

> I agree that it would have been an insignificant number of the 250 people fired, but it would have made a difference in the life of the employees not fired and it would have given meaning to her words.

Are you saying it would not have been worth it?
There's a lot of talk of values that doesn't have an obvious associated action. This is typically a two stage way of announcing something. Next comes the actual action, which is in keeping with the "new values".
Yes, that is one of the reasons. Also, helping a number of other platforms to combat all kinds of forms of abuse. Unfortunately, as you correctly surmise, I have some relevant experience which some people find useful to tap into.

Camarades went 'downhill' about 6 months in when it went mainstream and more and more people that had other ideas of where we should go with it joined. Then they brought their buddies and it was 'game over', we had to decide what to do about it. This roughly coincided with the ad market collapse and drove the decision to put the porn behind a paywall to finance the rest of it. Which worked well for more than a decade.
Indeed, western nations are far more sophisticated and generally avoid direct corruption in the processes themselves.

The outcome, however, may still very well depend on 'special' factors.
Lolz. Fucktard here ^^. You pplz. Stfu
If assets appreciate faster than wages rise, it creates price-points that are too high for people to invest.
Whilst I cannot debate the merits, I like the idea of a currency that helps reduce the amount of hoarding, since the whole point of currency is to be exchanged and keep an economy working.
I do not believe bitcoin only run on clean energy. Even if it was the case, this energy could have a better usage like solving actual problems instead of bruteforcing checksums.

The free market needs to be controlled when it destroys the environment. The people needs to be responsible for their actions.

I don't know about amateurs, but if the typical intended user of the language does not have a good grasp of what is and is not valid, they will often be reduced to trying one thing after another until they hit upon something that seems to work, with no real understanding of what it does. This is not how robust, correct software is written.

Debugging Is an Investigation
I wish Mozilla would distribute their free software the way some museums charge entry. A “suggested donation” of $X. And when I go to download the browser prompt me to either pay the suggested donation or manually change it to $0. I’d gladly pay $10 for Firefox every major update and I’m sure I’m not alone. It’s just not something I really think about very often. The passive asks just aren’t that effective.
It is a very coarse filter. Your ratio will go up but there will be plenty of people who feel that since they paid you they now really get to do as they please.
4% might be just a number to you but to those people it would mean the world.
Charge money...ok it's not the way most people try to validate something because it usually gives an unpleasant answer and people tend to be polite when asked their opinion and search terms can be tailored when googling and "I'm not good at marketing" is a comfortable excuse after building something nobody wants.

Good luck.
Do this! I procrastinated on switching from Chrome to Firefox for several months because I wasn't sure how much time and effort it would take. I set up a monthly donation to Mozilla during this time because it was easy and supported browser diversity.

When I did finally switch, it turned out to be pretty easy and fast to transfer my bookmarks and passwords to Firefox, and there are some features like the built-in containers and add-ons like Tree Style Tab [0] that I find pretty valuable.

Their priorities are out of wack. Firefox is their golden goose. It's the thing that gives them clout and revenue. Their job is to increase adoption because increased adoption means more clout and more revenue. You do that by constantly reinvesting in the platform and making it your core singular focus, especially performance and tooling (because developers are a big driver for browser adoption). Where is the Firefox version CEF? Where is a competitive option to v8/node.js? Why is MS Edge (and every other independent browser) based on CEF and not Firefox? Why has Firefox performance lagged behind Chrome for years now?

Since they ousted Eich (and maybe even before that), they've been focusing on everything except Firefox, and as a result they've steadily lost market-share. They screwed up.

Case in point:

>New focus on product. Mozilla must be a world-class, modern, multi-product internet organization.

What do you mean 'multi-product internet organization'? You have Firefox, and ... what else? Nothing. Firefox is the only thing that keeps them relevant and provides employment for their people. But let's instead focus on everything else?
How is Bitcoin not just a proxy for USD?
This right here shows how much the value of USD depends on the power of taxation. Even if you barter goods with no USD used, the IRS will still force you to find a way to obtain USD to pay taxes on that barter.
Probably wise. I've seen online interactions in some games be limited to ready-made callouts or phrases you can assemble from pre-made words / sentences (like From Software games).

Of course, points for creativity if they can still make lewd comments like "time for thrust attacks but whole" near a corpse bent over a banister.

While donating to Mozilla Foundation is a great cause [1], none of those funds go to funding Mozilla Corporation, and thus Firefox.

If you want your funds to go toward MoCo (and thus Firefox development), your best bet is to subscribe to Mozilla VPN or Pocket Premium.

Thank you, I think we incurred ~ $200 for ~200,000 images for Rekognition API and I also think Amazon had fairly large free-tier limit for Rekognition at that time, since the service was relatively new.
>I assume these folks have actual intel to take this big decision

I assume it's "Our advisors can push mutual funds, they will be able to push trusts with the same fee structures and incentives to sell that hold an asset that has 10Xed before."

That alone seems like enough.

Let's say you don't believe BitCoin. If you have worked in finance, or had a financial advisor come to your company, you probably believe in their ability to sell.

People still think financial "advisors" (Series 7/63, CFP) know something / have interests besides pushing mutual funds.
Thanks for this! I use Emacs but haven’t invested any time in my setup for a long time. After I get back from my morning hike, I am going to invest some time on this. Thanks again.
You're conflating guilt and responsibility.

An analogy: Suppose that at work, some critical system belonging to another team blows up, and everyone is asked to help fix it. It's not useful to complain that it's that other team's fault. The mess is there, and it needs to be fixed. Even though you don't share in the guilt for it blowing up, you're still responsible for fixing it.
Did anyone find anything in this post about Mozilla refusing to take money from Google?

I can’t find it.

Mozilla, stop taking money from Google and letting them be the default search engine!

Please don’t enable and legitimise surveillance capitalism.
Your replies also contribute a lot to global warming.
While I definitely think Mozilla is great for the internet, their main product is terrible from a business perspective. Trying to monitize a piece of free software that you are selling on this privacy benifits is a loosing battle. The reason free software is free is _because_ it can sell more valuable ads by using your data. Products that you pay directly for don't need to worry about selling ads so they don't have to do tracking and such.

A paid browser at this point is realistically impossible to sell at any sort of scale because chrome is free. IMO Firefox Mozilla needs to make a new product that is paid. Someone on HN suggested email and/or other services that compete with Google's user product suite? At that point you are selling server space so its easier to get people to pay for it.
Well, there is no way to contribute economically since donations go pretty much to everything except the browser it seems like.
How is it a fair playing field if US companies can't do business in China, and Chinese companies can do in US?
The "putting dent in universe" SV meme (i.e. being a big player and constituting a big change, without that much regard for ethics) needs to die. Consider that Hitler has also put a pretty sizeable dent in the universe... I think we should be more specific about the nature of the change, i.e. we should be explicit that it's a change for the better.

Why would any company focusing on privacy partner with Facebook or Google? I would guess that some ardent supporters of such a product/company would be put off by such a partnership, no?

My guess is that Fred isn't going to be giddy about being taken off the main codebase.

There's also the danger that you end up with endless churn in your plumbing, testing, etc, tools instead.

It seems unfortunate to give up a useful tool for managing the economy just because it can't be structured to provide everyone an equal amount of benefit. Should we end small business programs because not everyone's wealthy enough to own a small business?

I'd see the problem if it worked how I've sometimes seen it described, where rich people and banks are just getting free gifts of cash, but that's not accurate.

NeXT software was wonderful.

The hardware? Not so much. The other workstation vendors of the era (Sun, SGI, HP, DEC...) ran rings around NeXT. The 680x0 platform NeXT chose was approaching obsolescence by the early 90's.
I am that guy and every day is a struggle to manage that inclination!

I really appreciate the author’s attempt here to get into the psyche (developer experience vs user experience) and to find a constructive resolution.

I’m not sure I agree with the conclusion though because I think often the issue is a matter of lacking experience (which takes time) and discipline (which takes practice). Though I’m sure many cases are just as the author described.
I agree with what you are saying, but even before that point, the USG which is sovereign over its money supply, will be able cover any liabilities it has by creating the necessary money. This is what I was alluding to when I mentioned that the USG won’t let itself go bankrupt. They will destroy the USD before going bankrupt, because the repercussions of going bankrupt are much worse than a lower valued USD. Also, the whole debt ceiling is a charade; the FED can and has monetized treasury debt without any fuss.

IMO being able to cut through work that you don't love is a tremendous skill, especially for software engineers. Many of the most successful engineers I've worked with had a really valuable trait where they were 100% effective on projects that they loved while also 90% effective on ones that they hated. This really helped them stand out when the standard ratio was closer to 100% / 20%.
I wonder how many more people would donate if they knew the donation would be spent on making Firefox better and not on political activism.
I don't see a us-fail-1 region being set up for a number of reasons.

One, this is not how AWS regions are designed to work. What they're thinking of is a virtual region with none of its own datacenters, but AWS has internal assumptions about what a region is that are baked into their codebase. I think it would be a massive undertaking to simulate a region like this.

(I don't think a fail AZ would work either, arguably it'd be worse because all the code that automatically enumerates AZs would have to skip it, which is going to be all over the place.)

Two, set up a region with deliberate problems, and idiots will run their production workload in it. It doesn't matter how many banners and disclaimers you set up on the console, they'll click past them.

When customer support points out they shouldn't be doing this, the idiot screams at them, "but my whole business is down! You have to DO something!" This would be a small number of customers, but the support guys get all of them.

Three, AWS services depend on other AWS services. There are dozens of AWS services, each like little companies with varying levels of maturity. They ought to design all their stuff to gracefully respond to outages, but they have business priorities and many services won't want to set up in us-fail-1. When a region adds special constraints, it has a high likelihood of being a neglected region like GovCloud.
I don't care how justified your fears are. I also have fears about facebook being abused by republicans and russia, and google being abused by democrats but I am not calling for their ban and I am not calling for telegram's ban either. You need to educate your fellow citizens or pressure appstore owners (google and apple) to delist tiktok. That's how a free nation functions, through dialogue not paranoia and treating the law as a suggestion.

Don't sacrifice my liberty to alleviate your fears.

If we follow your logic let's equally apply the law and ban telegram,facebook/whatsapp/instagram,google and snapchat as well. And please,let the US cease all commerce with China if they are a hostile enemy government, let's stop financing them. Unless of course like always this is about american greed and not security. Injustice is not tolerable even if security is at stake. If you claim this is just and lawful, apply it equally to all other foreign and domestic apps that can be abused similar to tiktok both by domestic and foreign forces. I have no reason to fear China more than a domestic political party that is eager to start race wars and concentration camps. The law must be fair and it must be applied equally. That is a fundamental concept where it's violation means invalidation and collapse of all legal and legitimate goverment and legal activity.
If one is using Go/C++/whatever WASM, why not go the extra step and use a binding framework for the OS's native UI toolkit, and just produce a native app? I don't understand with the fascination of bringing an entire OS (the browser) on top of an OS.
I have also been loving yoga on youtube! Its like going to a class except there is nobody to tell me how much my form sucks.

I've been thinking about writing an app to let me turn some of these follow alongs into an interval timer where I could just say the name of the pose (so I could do other things while doing the yoga). Then I could always click on the pose to go back to the video. Does that sound of interest?
What you want is any type of UPS that is line-interactive (Smart UPS or BackUPS Pro), those convert line voltage to 12V and back to line voltage with the battery in between instead of having to switch the battery into the circuit. Basically means that it switches (almost) instantly and they don't depend on external voltage or frequency.

> ...Across ~40,000 traditional narratives, we found strong, highly consistent evidence of these structures. Stage setting, plot progression, and cognitive tension exhibited coherent patterns of unfolding across genres, authorship attributes, and story lengths. Moreover, each narrative dimension unfolded in theoretically consistent ways: staging tends to occur at its highest at the beginning of a story, followed by a rise in plot progression, paired with a rise and fall in cognitive tension around the middle-to-late parts of a story.

Stories have a consistent shape. Even other primates tell simple stories of this shape: staging, plot, cognitive tension. It may be an adaptation, speculates the article, for how to ascribe actions to objects and communicate this during the learning process.
