Engage yourself in what they are doing. Describe what you see. Tell them what that makes you feel. Be objective, rather than judging of their performance.

"You have been trying to find that bug for hours. That's true perseverance!"

"I like the sound effects you added. They really draw me into the game even more."

"It sounds like you're using a technology you haven't before. Trying is the only way to learn new things."

"This runs so smoothly!"

Also, ask questions.

"How did you get the enemy to follow my character?"

"I feel like the game is unfair when I die here. Is there anything you can do to make this section not so difficult?"

"I understood what I was meant to do right away. Can you think of why that was?"

Note how you don't even have to be positive when you do it this way. Simply sharing the experience goes a long way. Encouraging critical thought and decision-making makes it even better.

I've seen the hans rosling talk on washing machines and that made sense but I don't think the same holds true for diswhwashers. Even at an 8-10 person party it never takes us more than 10 minutes to do all the dishes including pots etc. On a typical night, family of 4 it takes less.
"Easier" in what sense though, it's not as though the post office is unpopular (arguably a goal of these changes is to change that to build support for privatization but anyways)

I think that the most severe vulnerabilities that are found have been known about for a long time by our intelligence community and likely others.

I doubt much of anything off the shelf for companies even if they open their wallets a lot can be realistically expected to defeat against advanced well funded nation state intrusions.

I would not add North Korea or Iran to that list. I think they are far behind. Maybe North Korea gets some scarps from China

The US has without a doubt the most powerful position. All major operating systems are made here. GitHub is for the most part here. A lot of equipment comes from there or at least in warehouses or just pass through.
Given ample opportunities for modification. We have the FAANG. Twitter and lots of other worldwide platforms that have millions of users. All slurped Up by the NSA (at least if they want to).

The US has a very coveted position.

Presumably China possibly is next. So much manufacturing happens there on whole equipment or parts for it. Should give them rich opportunity to modify products they are interested inn.

The comparison of covid and 9/11 is pretty clear. I did not bring it up for political points. It’s a very significant and recent historical event. 9/11 represented an attack on the US people on homeland territory by a foreign actor. Pandemics have been suggested widely as comparable to fighting a war on home territory. It’s just not as easy to spot the damage because pandemics don’t send in troops with guns and bombs. They spread insidiously from person to person through microscopic viruses. We have to fight the virus on it’s playing field-the routes it takes between hosts. The deaths from covid have been spread out across the population enough to not make as visible an impact as 9/11. Which is precisely why comparing the effects of covid to widely known historical events helps build an impression of the size and effect of the event.
> They are a non-profit

No they are not. People seem to not understand that there is Mozilla Corporation, the one who pays the salaries, and Mozilla Foundation.

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/ puts it like this:

there’s a non-profit Foundation at the heart of our enterprise...
The Foundation is also the sole shareholder in the Mozilla Corporation, the maker of Firefox and other open source tools. Mozilla Corporation functions as a self-sustaining social enterprise – money earned through its products is reinvested into the organization.

This page (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2018/) says that:

With over 1,000 full-time employees worldwide, Mozilla Corporation employee compensation is benchmarked to market by role and level balancing total compensation between individual and company performance with a pay-for-performance compensation model...

For VPs and above, we benchmark compensation against a blended peer group comprised of 70% similarly-sized public and private tech companies and 30% non-profit organizations.

Also:

Mozilla Foundation non-profit programs are carried out by 80 employees and thousands of volunteers around the world.

Wikipedia explains a bit more:

Unlike the Mozilla Foundation, the Mozilla Corporation is a tax-paying entity, which gives it much greater freedom in the revenue and business activities it can pursue.

A tax-paying entity is a regular for-profit company. It's a basically a for-profit subsidiary of the non-profit Foundation, confusingly.

More information about revenue:

Today, the majority of Mozilla Corporation revenue is generated from global browser search partnerships, including the deal negotiated with Google in 2017 following Mozilla’s termination of its search agreement with Yahoo/Oath

Source: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2018/

And:

The Mozilla Foundation is funded by donations and 2% of annual net revenues from the Mozilla Corporation, amounting to over US$8.3 million in 2016.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Foundation

And Google, at least in the early years, seems to have controlled as much as 90% of the Mozilla Corporation Revenue. I couldn't find the current figure, but the above links mention Google as currently a major financer still.

Honestly, it's the other way around usually; simplicity is scalable. A stateless service talking to a database is fine. You can scale out the service, and scale up the database. It's even easier when you use a cloud provider, their relational database offerings can scale from a wordpress blog's database to enterprise scale, tens of thousands of transactions / second.

The problem is that it's boring, and there's a lot of developers that create work and complexity to make their own jobs interesting.
How much control do you have over rendering without having to discard Bevy's renderer and asset server entirely? A big problem I had with Amethyst (and, honestly, other big engines like Unity and Godot) is that you have very little ability to use custom formats that have prebaked visibility, lighting and so forth because there’s no good way to efficiently control how the renderer gets called. You can only convert your scene to their format, usually discarding useful information. I want to use BSP as the level format in my games because I’m familiar with it and it allows for modders to easily create content, but no engine with a pre-built renderer allows you to render them anywhere close to efficiently. This isn’t just being able to have custom file format loaders and render pipelines, you need to be able to have a single vertex buffer while creating a number of index buffers based on various precalculated visibility clusters, and then be able to choose the index buffer to be rendered based on the camera's location.
"We also found out that linen stiffened with rabbit glue strikes dogs as in irresistibly tasty rabbit-flavored chew toy, and that our Labrador retriever should not be left alone with our research project."

Animal protein glues enjoy a lot of interesting uses to this day. One of the weirder ones is glue-chipped glass[0]. You roughen the surface of glass, spread hide glue with a high gram strength on it, and as the glue dries, it contracts, chipping out the glass leaving a neat texture. One has to be quite careful disposing of the glue/glass waste. Dogs will apparently eat that, to their considerable detriment.

Fish glue is also still available from luthier suppliers; it has a higher tack than hide glue.

My favorite glue for general woodworking is Old Brown Glue[1], which is a hide glue that's been modified to remain liquid at room temperature (it's still best applied warm though). It has a longer open time than hot hide glue (which is a gelatin at room temperature), while retaining all of the benefits of hide glues generally: reversability and low creep. For a neat demonstration of the reversability, I highly recommend his column veneering video [2].

I did a project with a large bent lamination, and I was looking into the modern adhesives people typically use. Unibond and epoxy both have pretty substantial health concerns. You don't typically use yellow glue (Titebond, etc) because they do have a lot of creep, which can lead to your lamination changing shape over time. I ended up using Old Brown Glue; it had enough open time to get the lamination in clamps. I'm happy to report that I'm still alive and all four legs of my dining room table still sit flat on the ground[3].

Pocket was a third party service when it became a default Firefox feature in 2015. Mozilla acquired it in 2017.[0] I could not find any data on what they paid.

It's not clear to me how BEM is OOP. It seem to me that BEM is an attempt to remove the cascade from CSS. I understand the readability of the BEM naming convention, but I look at it and feel I'm de-CSS'ing CSS.
And then people complain that they're holding onto cash rather than 1.) Doing something "productive with it" or 2.) Returning it to the owners (shareholders)--the latter of which at least is not a wholly unreasonable position as it isn't really the company's money to hold on to at some level.
Then take 300 developers, if you need them. Financing would probably be sufficient, if it wasn't spread amongst three times the employees and would have to take care of several other projects.
Watch The Hummingbird Project (2018) it's an interesting little movie.

From your link -

"The "ad infernum" theory positing property ownership "to the center of the Earth" has also been eroded. A review of modern American jurisprudence demonstrates that the theory is more poetic hyperbole than binding law, and that broadly speaking, the deeper the disputed region, the less likely courts are to recognize that the surface owner holds subsurface title. [21] Appraisal studies of subsurface projects such as subways, deep storm drainage tunnels, and particle colliders consistently conclude that such projects, built well below the area that the vast majority of surface property owners ever put to use, do not deprive the surface owners of any value."
Mozilla Foundation holds 100% of M.Corp. and no one is allowed to purchase part of it. Essentially, this means Foundation owns all those earnings fully in some way (sans taxes); they need some legal channels to funnel it.

Ok, cool I've found it hard to find financial details - could you perhaps list for an example period the main revenue not from Google and it's origins? Then maybe the top 3 lines of the expense report?

I mean unless we're going back to phoenix days it seems like Google's money both saved and potentially secured Firefox's demise.

Re the speculation that the Google money is stopping (AIUI its something of the order 90% of income) Mozilla seem to be hunting for all and any revenue streams and urgently cutting costs. They look like they're preparing for it to stop, and I get the impression they want to be self-sufficient. It strikes me (and recall I have little knowledge of their financials - perhaps they've put a lot of income aside) they need to be self-sufficient in order to not be scared to follow a privacy route that could readily [probably has already IMO] annoy Google. Google aren't giving them $X00 Million for fun, I feel. The less useable data, and sellable users, Mozilla directs their way the less useful Mozilla is to Google.

(Perhaps there's also a benefit in keeping FF to prevent the appearance of Chrome being a monopoly.)

It's highly debatable whether this was due to Tesla or actual legislation, though.

CO² fleet restriction forced the hand of automakers, not 3% EV market share.

A substantial portion of Tesla's operational income comes from CO² certificates from automakers that don't meet the CO² restrictions, by the way [1]. Also something that people tend to overlook.

I probably need to read the studies in more detail but they always seem to mention "a full dishwasher". Back when I used one it was never full, usually at most 20-30% full and yet it uses the same amount of water regardless. In order to fill it I'd need 4x-5x the dishes and only run it once every 4-5 days and hope that it still got things clean after they'd dried that long and that the machine didn't attract insects for the rotting food inside as waited for their to be enough dishes for it to be full.

Shareholders generally like businesses to use their money on things only that business can do.

If the best thing the business can think to do with the money is put it in the stock market or a low-interest cash account, which anyone could do, investors usually demand that the money is returned to them (via dividends or share buybacks) so they can choose what happens to it.
I imagine there's a way to setup a trust such that hostile takeovers can't access the money.
If the authorities forces Apple to block the hypothetical Briar app on iOS from showing in that country then you're SOL, while you could sideload it without any problem on Android.

Herd immunity is only going to be around 10 to 20% because of previous cross-reactivity with common cold viruses.

Sweden Italy and New Zealand have already hit herd immunity. They're done with the virus and didn't have 50 percent.

And before you post that they have a few cases recently... understand herd immunity doesn't mean the virus is gone...it just means the virus has nowhere to jump to... so there will always be a smattering of cases.
You sound exactly like my friends. Except that they know that my systems are several orders of magnitude bigger then theirs.

If negotiation fails, my only alternative is my only client. He doesn't have a lot of work for me right now but it would be enough to put bread on my table.
If things don't work out well, I am thinking to refuse to work with him on that cheap rate and devote my time and energy to finding other clients for myself. If I could find a good paying gig that would be beneficial for me in the long run rather than sticking with my friend.
I agree with that. I think I just draw the line further down the scale than you. Possibly, that's because I'm an old fart and more used to having to write everything from scratch, and so therefore more used to it (and less liable to consider that wasted effort).
There's probably ways to setup trusts such that they're independent of the business and the business has no control over the trust.
Yeah, so just get your own VPN up and running in half an hour. Invite your family to use it, too. That's probably around 5-10 $/month with some cloud VPS thingy for everybody in your house. Did it myself, combined with a PiHole, and it worked like a charm. In regards of trust: Mozilla is just another big corporation, a VPN from some other big tech company (one that isn't into advertising - how about Apple?) would just be as trustworthy.
It doesn't... or rather, it doesn't unless the kernel can safely unroll the write from it's insides. Famously NFS mounts can get eternally stuck processes when they die because the other end of the file descriptor doesn't exist and there is nothing the kernel can reasonably do about it.

I was just discussing with my friend (who's currently writing his master's thesis) about how frustrating integrating Python results with LaTeX papers can be. In my experience (who wrote his master's thesis last year), it was not necessarily the worst, but it required me to complete my methodology and presentation entirely before putting things in LaTeX, because otherwise I would have to spend ridiculous amounts of time updating values that impact multiple tables and graphs.

I hope this is it. LaTeX won't go away anytime soon, but being able to turn a notebook into a near-finished thesis/book (in TeX) would be a-mazing.
"At most it's just brain drain from around the world (and around the U.S.) due to capital concentration NOT talent concentration."

Brain drain implies relative talent concentration - are you sure this is what you mean to say?

Look - I hate SV and don't live there. The reality is unavoidable: for software, the best talent lives in the Bay. It's not that deep.

I wonder if it is not so much "the cult of the free" as "the art of directionless misspending". Look at all the projects Mozilla got involved in that were not really related to the browser.

Also, from the list of jobs laid off there are some jobs that seem superfluous to the main core concept of browser development:

Diversity and Inclusion Lead, Office and Culture Project Manager, Director of Strategic Alliances and Platform Strategy - Mixed Reality, Global Event Maker, Senior University Recruiter, Senior Product Designer + Growth, Staff Business Strategist, Lead UX Designer for Brand, Senior Brand Designer, Head of Design, Senior Executive Assistant, Brand Designer.

I am not even sure what some of those jobs involve! Some even sound like invented jobs to me.

I mean, is a "brand designer" someone who actually draws graphics or is it just someone who thinks what the "brand" should involve? ie. The Web, a browser.

Education welcomed.
It's a way better resource than w3school, would be a shame if it drifted out because of a lack of maintainers.
These investments are due to changes and mandates from legislation, though, not market pressure [1]. Governments are pushing for total fleet emission limits and automakers are forced to either build EVs or pay fines (or Tesla - same deal).

Fair enough - but my solution to that has always been, 'pay children to pass their classes'. That would be an extrinsic motivator the kind of families you're referencing would respect.

And annoyingly, when I bring this proposal up, most people talk about how important it is for learning to be intrinsically motivated.
This has been my thought since the first time I heard Mozilla was raking in cash with affiliate search. With some planning, they could have had a never-ending income and been beholden to no one. Anyone in here with insight in the decisionmaking process?
