1. That's how Mozilla positioned itself. "We are so non-profit, non-evil and so better than others, because we think about ecosystem, rights and all the good stuff". You went after this high bar - you should comply with it.

2. Sounds logical: no one wants to get stuck with abandonware (or semi-abandonware). Browsers are the #1 by importance piece of software. Competitors in this field just HAVE TO keep up with the current state of things and global expectations/demand. If you don't - goodbye, then.

4. No, Mozilla never apologized for its mistakes properly. It doesn't even admit most of them. And it clearly didn't learn anything as it still is deaf to peoples opinions/expectations/feedback. Just as an example: take a look at your issue tracker and the managerial approach at what should gain the focus of developers. Issues live there unsolved for more than a _decade_. Mozillians don't care what people want, they work on things THEY are interested in. Or maybe in what their nutjob of a manager tells them to work on.

5. I was a firefox user since it's quite early days and it's Mozilla's actions that made me switch to Chromium. With Google Chrome (being the base for Chromium) I at least know what evilcorp Google is. And they do. They don't claim to be the defenders of the weak.

What's Hot in Web Development? – Weekly Picks
Blank keyboard user here (custom ones from WASD Keyboards). I felt no difference between this and a regular keyboard, mostly because I was touch typing anyway. Programming is surely more thinking than typing, but once you're in the flow, it helps to just write away and the keys simply vanish.

Unfortunately the new Macs have really borked the typing experience, which was the main reason why I purchased the blank keyboard.

There's something about reducing the friction between your mind and the problem that I find fascinating, even though the bandwith of the "fingers on keys" channel is still rather low (unless you go all out bionic fingers like that schene in Ghost in the Shell).

Another, maybe fictional, reasoning to get a blank keyboard was to be able to type properly even with a VR headset on.

There's only one major drawback in my experience: position in front of keyboard. Sitting on the sides or typing side-ways (like in some pair-programming situations) becomes difficult, even if you follow the home keys.
Is it simply a case of a Chinese private company poaching talent? Or is the chinese govt explicitly providing incentives to the aforementioned pvt company which they're using to poach employees?

If it's the former, there's not much to see here, move on. Just capitalism at work. If it's the latter, I don't see how any pvt company can compete against an actor with such deep pockets.

> please reply to me instead of editing.

Unfortunately, my account has some very, very low limits on the number of replies I can make per day, which I can't influence. Not all users have necessarily the same possibilities, and the privileges one may have aren't universal.

My belief is, the limits are there to prevent the discussion progressing too fast and if somebody misses some edit and that even helps the thread remaining slower, maybe the measure still achieved a goal. But I admit it can be confusing.

Of course, I'd personally prefer to have at least a bit higher "quota."
The integrated code editor in Godot is actually something I don't like. The text editor doesn't support the usual Mac keyboard shortcuts, scrolling isn't always responsive and it can't be used to view text files such as json files.

I hope that Bevy users won't be forced to use the Bevy editor for coding. VS Code, vim, emacs and other editors have lots of extensions and work well for coding. I'd rather see some kind of project builder UI for Bevy, which would allow using existing code editors.

> I really don't get why anyone would want less keys.

For the same reason many people prefer keyboard shortcuts over
moving the hand back and forth between mouse and keyboard.

My main keyboard has 42 keys; that's enough for all letters,
most common symbols and modifiers. Everything else is quickly
reachable by holding down one of two "FN" keys.

Why? Because this way I can input anything without even moving
my hands or wrists. And as both FN keys are directly below my
thumbs I don't suffer from any delay when typing any special
symbols or numbers. In fact my typing speed has stayed exactly
the same, possibly even with increased accuracy because my hands
are always guaranteed to be in the correct position for every
input(outside the period of getting used to the layout of
course).

So for me personally it's a number of advantages without a
single drawback, except maybe the fact I now find standard
keyboards really cumbersome and awkward to use.

I think your input is really defeatist and non-constructive. There are plenty of comments that address long range communication with (e.g. storage devices).

It also underestimates the resourcefulness and motivation of those struggling in this situation.

It wouldn't be inconceivable that additional resources/hardware could be introduced either via smuggling or diplomatic staff. There is also a large and supportive diaspora of Belarusians in Lithuania and Poland that I assume would be willing to source and finance additional resources if it could tip the scale.
> Amazon doesn't compete on lower salaries, it competes on automation.

Talking about automation and then the warehouse bit:

Automation in warehouses is something that was in the news in Netherlands recently. Some supermarket opened an partly automated warehouse, the news brought it as something unique. From the comments it was clear that various other supermarkets did that already either years ago, recently or they have such more automated warehouses under construction. Apparently fully automated is very difficult.

Having an automated warehouse isn't something that another company cannot do and/or requires unique expertise. Apparently various supermarkets hired the same company to build their warehouse.

Ask HN: Why was the recent Wired article about Fox News and Wikipedia flagged?
^Title. Here’s the link to the flagged submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24129479

I read the article in the submission, and I‘m just curious why it was flagged? Maybe I don’t understand flagging in general, but the submission seemed pretty relevant for HN, objectively speaking. What am I missing?
Well, firstly, I look forward to seeing your visualisation for these data - I'm curious how you can portray these 3 dimensions.

Secondly, you originally wrote:

> It would be cool to see this made into a series of pie charts (one for each element)

so now when you say:

> You haven’t given a good reason why it wouldn’t be useful to have all three pieces of information in one graph.

it feels like I'm not the person who needs to show this set of 100+ charts / one graph.

> those who were betting on Brexit were probably doing so thinking it might be a little bit tough

No. Nobody who voted for Brexit was thinking logically or clearly at all. Anybody can dismiss this as a political opinion, but not a single person who supported brexit did so for anything other than :

* Flag-waving nationalism.
* Financial self-interest from a long-term reduction in EU standards.
* Perceived (but incorrect) financial self-interest.
All of this won't help the Chinese if they're not able to procure the wafer machines built by ASML. That's probably why the entire project is stalling.

It was a brilliant move by Trump to deny China these machines. In a couple of years the Chinese will have an enormous technology deficit obliterating many smartphone and computer manufacturers there.

There's a fair chance that Huawei will pull out of the smartphone business completely next year if Trump is reelected.
> "Please explain how your salary of $2.5 million couldn't be put to better use as part of Emerging Technology's budget?"

Why should a nonprofit's CEO be paid that much? Why the hell? I can't grasp this. I don't even understand why they'd make more than a few times what the typical programmer in the organization makes.
One of the rules I break on standard ANSI US keyboards is typing c and m with my index finger instead of my middle finger. Other keys in the bottom row are shifted out by one finger, and my pinkies are relieved of bottom row duty, besides the shift key. This makes a regular keyboard more like a linear (matrix) keyboard, with angled columns.

I do this because I keep my hands angled a little bit inward, to avoid the awkward and un-ergonomic bend in my wrist. That is, if standard position is like this:

oo
/\
/ \

My typing position is more like this:

oo

I'm more interested in the claim that this is the first book by an AI. To my knowledge, plenty of machine learning models have been used to produce all sorts of texts. Is this really the first time a length of a book has been produced?

Yes, $1400 for a phone based on the concept that might be unusable in practice is quite a high price tag. Also, we all know how much Microsoft paid attention to device updating in the past. If this is not a huge commercial success (and it won’t), this will be forgotten in 18 months by MS.
The way to set your fee is to decide on a rate that is fair.

Neither too high nor too low. A fee that you think is reasonable.

When someone asks your fee, you say.... “this is my fee. I think it is fair. I do good work. I don’t overcharge. I know there are cheaper people out there but that’s not where I am positioned. You are welcome to work with the cheapest.

If you want good work at a fair price then I am happy to work with you but I cannot discount my rate because it’s not commercially practical for me to do that.”

If you lose the potential client then that is fine . Do not chase them with lower prices. Wait for the clients who agree with you.

When clients insist on some concession, some discount, then give it only in return for something else, like up front payment. Don’t concede discounts for nothing.

In software and consumer electronics, it's been a while that salaries in mainland China are a lot more competitive than in Taiwan. My friends from Asus, HTC, BenQ... are now making 3x their previous income at companies like Huawei, Oppo, OnePlus, Microsoft, Apple.

It's probably a bit harder to lure people from the industry's current best, but in my experience there's always plenty enough of mid-level managers and senior engineers who think they could do better if they were given more ownership. And here there's almost no language or cultural barrier.

They have traditional strong ties to one subset of the unions, the LO ones. But it's complex: LO is often openly critical of the (ruling) Social Democratic Party. At the same time a large chunk of the actual union members are voting for a different party, often one in opposition to the Social Democrats.

Automation is only a part of it. As you say an automated warehouse anyone can buy from an automated warehouse provider assuming they're big enough to afford it.

It's about operational efficiency. It's the culture. Things like kaizen, optimising everything, having teams that work out exactly where the products should go etc etc. How should the packing stations be positioned, how should they be designed? What slows down the workers on the packing stations? Small improvements to the tools they every day. Constant small improvements everyday. Anyone should be able to suggest improvements. Try multiple experiments, most of them won't work. It builds up like a flywheel overtime, and then other companies won't be able to catch up.

Companies try to replicate it, buts its harder then just buying a warehouse from company x. Frankly you need the leadership for it, and whole lot of time, money and patience for it to pay off.
It's not a mass produced device; it can probably be made cheaper but it would have to be produced in 1-2 orders of magnitude more. Plus it's a kickstarter donation, not a retail price.
The physical size is close to the much-loved 1990s PDA, Psion Series 5:

For many of the posters in this thread, did your schools try to teach you proper typing and you could just meet the requirements with your personal methods? I had a couple weeks of typing classes on decade old Apple 2's from ~3-6th grade, and I'm wondering if that wasn't common or I'm too old/young for this or what.

First, congrats! Launching anything is hard, let alone after two pivots. I had a couple of questions and comments:

* Are you looking to explicitly support other auth providers (I for one would love to have you support https://fusionauth.io/ -- full disclosure I work for them)? Or is the best path forward there to just use the Custom Token Issuer instructions?

* There's a typo here where it looks like the markdown hasn't been correctly processed: https://docs.xkit.co/docs/custom-catalog:

> If you want full control over how users interact with the Integration Catalog beyond what's available in [Self-hosting(doc:self-hosted-catalog), you can use our libraries or APIs to fully customize the experience.

* I'm trying to understand why someone would create their own catalog. Is that because they have their own suite of applications currently using OAuth for auth? So kind of a AWS Service Catalog play? Or is it more "I'll take care of adding this fiddly integration to XYZ service once so that all my developers can use this integration in the varied apps they are building"?

* What is the difference between using xkit and a tool like Zapier to handle SaaS integration? It looks like with xkit you have more control, including over the integration process. Why would I want to use something lower level like xkit?

Again, congrats on the launch!

I haven't watched the talk recently, but my feeling at the time was that he was just being pedantic about the definition of a sum type. Kotlin's nullable types would be example of true sum types because they are symmetric. But you can only make a sum of `T + null` and not a more generic `T + U`.

His real point, I believe, was that the `Either` implementations weren't as good as true sum types because of ergonomics. It's part of his philosophy/bias that type systems get in the way and therefore cause more harm than good.

I don't really grok his point most of the time. It just feels foreign to me to not want as strong a type system as possible. But a lot of really smart guys feel that way: Him, Alan Kay, etc. I suspect that they're able to track much more stuff in their heads at a time than I am.
Bumble did it for that, probably not tinder. Most people who put their insta expect others to be able to add them on insta. This is the whole point of insta, it is to have the most people as possible watching at you.

I have a German layout keyboard atm (don't ask), and I barely even notice it.

~20 years ago I invested a lot of nerves into learning touch typing, so now I'm flawless with it.

But, let's talk about problems with touch typing - wrists for example. If you don't know touch typing, you move your hands more often, to do stuff. E.g. copy/paste, with touch typing, it's pinky + index finger all the time. Without touch typing, it's, for example, left index + right index. Or something else. Point is, you are not making the same moves all the time.

If you do, you develop RSI. For me, ALT + TAB was the problem. After ~15 years of touch typing, I started feeling first discomfort, and then pain in the wrist. Took some time to discover what's the problem, so now I'm aware and taking action, exercise, stretching, changing layout, switching to split keyboard, etc.

Touch typing is good, but be careful. Make breaks regularly, stretch your hands, invest in the ergo equipment. Think upfront, react before the problems occur. Better safe than sorry.
Thanks! I’ll add it to the list.
