> you want more than one person in your business to have domain knowledge

> Everything gets a lot easier if you select the right software and framework

Huh? Domain knowledge doesn't refer to your tech stack or coding practices. It refers to why you've built things the way you've built them -- customer requirements, business requirements, technical requirements.

Ruby on Rails may improve onboarding time, but it has zero to do with domain knowledge.
The rendering is all thanks to KaTeX, which is indeed great! Maybe it's not clear enough from the page, but the page is actually editable -- click anywhere and start writing. You can add new math by typing an expression like $x+y=z$. The untested bit has to do with math editing on -- there are some issues with moving your cursor around using the arrow keys on FF.
Isn't that an appeal to authority? Or at least an appeal to widely held belief.
It probably does show up, but a huge number of small business are basically just the owner and some independent contractors (or just people they pay cash under the table to occasionally). Often the owners aren't even employees, and if they are, in some states they don't qualify for certain benefits by virtue of having been the owner.

Never heard of it. I'll check it out!
That’s due to their extensive interviews. The id is not relied on as a magic safety card.
Reasonable people can disagree about the limits of free speech, and when it becomes an attack on others. The American obsession with allowing Nazis and racists has done nothing to improve the lives of its people.
Well, I disagree. I don't think we should bicker about that, that seems like a crazy idea.

Instead, lets prioritize building out our internet infrastructure.
Whenever an engineer (we're on HN so I'm assuming) uses the word "trivial", my spidey senses start tingling.
Depends on your experience. If you're at a senior level, you can potentially get that from Google, Apple, or Netflix. You'll spend a lot more of it on housing, but you'll still come out ahead, by a lot.
The administration has not let constitutional limitations hinder any of their decisions.

The problem with Constitutional "authority" is that it relies on good faith, as the government is really just policing itself. If a President asks 'who is going to stop me?', they will quickly find out the answer is 'nobody.'
Agreed. Like it sucks, but I can't fault any of the actors in this story. They are all just looking out for themselves.
I loved Firefox Send and really hope they can find a way to address the malware problem [1]. It was the only large file sharing service I fully trusted both because of the encrypted zero-knowledge aspect of the system and the organization behind it; I used it several times a month personally and told others about it. To me it was a "win" under the Mozilla/FF brand.

This is how User Mode Linux and gvisor work more or less (albeit with the 'injected' code running in another process entirely). It's also how a kernel I'm writing works in a port that works like user mode linux (in addition to the ports on native hardware).

The issue is that ptrace is unreasonably slow (orders of magnitude slower than just regular syscalls), so they'd want the fast normal path to not go through ptrace. But they don't have a way to communicate that to the kernel at the moment.
Apple is known to live off Marketing. Wouldn't surprise me if they had low wages in favor of koolaid drinkers (for lack of a better term)
Firefox is a successful product. One that is failing. I never claimed it can't be turned around, I was pushing back on the idea that it's self evident that is the solution to Mozilla's problems. (When in fact, that's what Mozilla has been mostly focused on this whole time from a budgetary perspective, and yet here we are.)

I should have never said Rust was a product, you're focusing on a word I used you didn't like and have made it a gotcha that let it derail us away from your original claims. I was using it as an example of Mozilla creating something successful other than Firefox. You claimed Mozilla is a one trick pony and is incapable of making anything else successful other than Firefox. This is objectively false. Firefox only generated revenue in the first place due to an ad deal, which is held up by legal concerns. You also completely ignored the other example I gave, the product I worked on and ran the team for, which is also generating revenue for the company. (Revenue which, I might add, is not backed by advertising dollars nor legal blowback.)

Take care.

That belief is summarized in the crypto scene as "the herd is coming".

Computer companies getting into consumer electronics is a result of average consumers wanting devices that behave more like and interact with computers. It's not the result of some messianic insight that no other company had.

We can't speculate on what a Apple Prime would have done without Jobs. But we do know that his single mindedness about making arbitrary changes cost them several years in the 80s and led to the slump in to the 90s.
This would require AWS to invest in Chaos Monkeys.
I think you misunderstand... Obsidian is precisely a personal wiki for me because thats exactly what I want. I don't even attempt to argue that I'm doing Zettelkasten in any way shape or form -- I even have the Zettelkasten features disabled.
I find this line of argumentation wrong. You don't have a constitutional right to use internet, computer or even to jack off, but it is generally assumed that as long as you don't get in other's people space, you will not be bothered.

Similarly, while there is no explicit right, the argumentation of "it is a privilege" seems.. not sure what the proper word would.. self-serving for the government.

Netflix is, iirc, quite an outlier in terms of salary versus other types of comp. They are also not bashful of letting people go that don't meet their expectations.

> aggressive, exponential expansion is a fairly valid Darwinian strategy.

Earth exists for around 4.5 billion years, life on Earth for 3.5 billion years, the whole known Universe just less than 14 billion years (and we can send some small probes to the limits of our own Solar system only during the last decades). So the Universe is not "old" and the distances between the areas suitable for the life to "expand" are immense and real barriers.

Knowing the distances involved, I believe that had we discovered that we are in much later age of the Universe, not seeing "others" would mean more than it means now. For now, knowing the distances, whatever could be somewhere far could simply be too far from us, nothing more.

Edit:

Re: "The galaxy is only 100,000 light years across" note that that are the light years -- the distance that the light has to travel that much. We know that the whole islands on Earth were unreachable for many otherwise common species for millions of years. But these distances are nothing compared with problems of maintaining complex life over the cosmic distances and in the cosmically hostile environment. Also "10-50 million years ahead of us" doesn't have to mean what we think it could mean. For a context, the dinosaurs were, historically, 60 million years "ahead of us". Nobody can "just assume" the we will cross the limits that are ours limits now. Biologically, we did multiply "exponentially" as soon as we were able to use the natural resources to do so (1). But apart from that (the certainty of life using available resources for biological growth), the growth in technical capability for interstellar travel is not guaranteed. Not to mention that the resources are by definition limited.

So nobody should ask "why aren't others here" when we can't even claim that we reached somewhere else. What we surely can ask is "why don't we get some signals" because, for example, we are able to send a radio message, but I personally wouldn't assume that the other civilizations make such kind of intentional signalling that we must necessarily be able to detect, being where we are now. It's not "just connect the headset to the wire and a crystal and listen." It's something that has to concentrate immense amounts of energy to reach exactly us. At the moment it's not "is there anybody anywhere" but "is there anybody in the conveniently close neighborhood who's capable to send exactly what we expect to receive, and, most probably, to target exactly in this direction." It's immensely hard to even "see" the planets by the closest stars, that how far everything is. I think that probability for that "targeted messaging" is too low, not to mention that I don't think that the "intelligence" in our sense is inevitably happening on every planet -- we know that from the 3.5 billion years of life on Earth, not even plants existed for 3 billion years. Life can indeed be relatively common but the development that the Earth up to now had could still simply be uncommon enough.

Sometimes the B2B contracts restrict the organizations from hiring each other's employees. This is pretty common. My company has at least two partnerships where these types of conditions are present.

There's outrageous equity offered by like 5 companies. Everybody else is getting stock option grants worth 5-10% of what Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft are offering (the situation is a little different for Netflix).

Probably not, Colorado is great.
It is, but replace "Netflix" with "a competitor" and the point still stands.
Just because they're JS devs, doesn't mean that they're doing web development with Rust, to be clear. That's part of the whole "expanding what you can do" bit.

> randomly from the norm for no apparent reason other than to be different

This has been written about in a number of places, and I don't have time to get into it, but a lot of languages are trending in this direction with syntax because it is more regular in a language that contains pervasive type inference. It's not random.

> Static checking etc. is nice but what's wrong with things like typescript?

Typescript still has node (or deno, still V8) as a runtime, so you're still dealing with its runtime, and all the cons (and pros) there. Additionally, the guarantees you get out of TS and Rust are different, as they have pretty different type systems, even if they're both statically typed, and TS is closer to Rust than it is to JS.
Counterpoint: Apple when Jobs came back.

Sometimes the answer to a company which is trying too many things at random is to drastically reduce the dispersion of effort, and focus ruthlessly.

It's very hard to do psychologically, though.

IMO Mozilla would probably be better served, business-wise, as being "the customizable Chrome". It would be a much smaller business (i.e. less IP under development), but it could be profitable and it leverages their USP in a way that Chrome doesn't seem able or willing to follow.

Finding different products to sell simply leads to Firefox going away, IMO. I don't care about Mozilla; I care about what Firefox does that Chrome does not. And at the end of the day, that's mostly Tree Style Tabs, uBlock and a menu bar.

How much money would it take to run a FireFox Inc. laser focused on just the browser?

Google is welcome to sue, they can do that anyway. But since the user is free to install any browser Google would be in very hot water with the EU anti-trust commission if they decided to mess with that right by targeting FireFox with default ad-block. I highly doubt they would do that, and if FF were 'my' company (which is the theory here) then I'd be happy to take that gamble. It would also provide some very much needed free advertising that FireFox are 'the good guys' and Google is 'the bad guys'.

FWIW I've been sued by large companies in the past and successfully gained the upper hand every time. The trick is to know how to enter that battle. One possible way would be to move the FF headquarters and legal seat to Brussels, Belgium.

Good luck with that lawsuit.

Google's websites are still supposed to be standards compliant. Users have the option to stay on their older browsers but will - of course - at some point notice that. But Google - wary of that anti-trust law - will do what they can to ensure that their stuff still works. Which they do today as well.

Apple and Google own mobile. To believe that they can be unseated there on the kind of budget that FireFox Inc, can dispose of is not going to get you a good outcome.
It's reasonable for them to want to avoid conflicts of interest. They act as an agent of the employers and don't want to get into scenarios where they can't do a proper job of representing their client's interests.

It's seems counterproductive to blacklist them for behaving ethically just because it worked against you in one scenario. No recruiting agency is ever going to act in your best interests because you aren't the one paying them. One that behaves ethically is about the best you can ever hope for.
It depends on how intense the law/sanctions are. Example, no US company can trade/do business with Iran,even indirectly. The Trump administration also made it difficult for other countries to do business with Iran, makes it almost impossible for any other country to business with them.Hence, Iran's economy is in the toilet, and it can only trade with Russia, China and the middle eastern countries they have high-influence over(which are typically poor). Their oil can be sold to western countries, due to OPEC, but money that ends up in foreign accounts are inaccessible.

Plus, most of Trump's policies of late with China has to do with the new Silk Road. The new Silk Road is seeing China expand(land grabs) into other countries, and take over strategic points. Since, a lot of China's economy is from foreign trade, the more US makes trade difficult the harder it is for China to expand. Time, will tell if this strategy works or not, when China becomes the #1 superpower/economy in the world(speculation, but is looking more likely).
I have no idea personally, I imagine you'd have to implement it all yourself, yes, and I don't even know if the proper hooks are there, honestly.

I think the concept is great and was just passing along that it existed in PDFs to the parent. Personally, having signed probably 100s of PDFs over the years I had never encountered it. I've only seen the web-based DocuSign. In every case (including this one) faxing the document back was acceptable, which breaks this. I am all for improving chain of trust, but it's not very helpful if the user doesn't understand what they're doing and as someone who likes tech I tend to want a bit more control than most people.
Good point, and indeed they can't, but they can cause a mess by shooting down a few. The other satellites will have to evade the debris which will cause headaches to the operator company.

Bevy: A data-driven game engine and app framework built in Rust
I still think this is too limited. Analogous to how Keynes said classical / Ricardian economics discussed distribution of goods given a fixed level of production, the linked article doesn't consider that the maximum productive output on any given day is not the same, even when the 3 variables considered are maximized.

"Behavior" here seems to be a boolean, "why we take action or not take action at any given moment", but I think many people who ask how to be more motivated or productive are asking about total output, not just about the ability to begin a task. They might be able to sit down at their desk and start working, for example, but not be able to continue long even after doing all the tricks.

In my experience, there is some sort of "mental energy reserve", and as that is exhausted it becomes increasingly difficult or maybe impossible to do any further productive work. If you are doing a strength training workout in the gym, no amount of "motivation" is going to let you continue lifting heavy weight indefinitely. I haven't seen much research to quantify that "mental energy reserve" or quantitatively measure how different tasks exhaust it.

There also seems to be some task-related inertia.

I can only offer the anecdote of myself, but I've floated the idea several times of taking a pay _cut_ to obtain more autonomy. No manager has ever taken me up on it.
That's not how entities managed by humans function. If you give the Mozilla foundation $1, they now have $1 + their previous money. The people running the org have no incentive to lower their other revenue sources. They want to manage as large of an org as possible and you do that by not leaving money on the table.

Our Sun burns 1 GT of hydrogen every 2 seconds [1]. This is the mass of the hydrogen in 9 GT of water. The dwarf planet Ceres was discussed just yesterday on HN.

Not always. For things that matter, government is perfectly capable of instituting harsh penalties for trying to game the system and boundaries between systems ( check sanctions and OFAC regulations with their strict liability; no messing around, the end result is what matters ). I am certainly not suggesting they should do it the same in TSA, but it is more of an indication that flying is not an issue here.
