> Can initial steps be taken to financially firewall Firefox development from the rest of Mozilla, as Thunderbird has done successfully?

It would have to be a fork with user support. Mozilla doesn't have much incentive to distance itself from its core product and even less incentive to provide a means by which their users can dictate what policies and products their financial support is for.

Mozilla has too many individuals in its organization, including its executive, who are not so closely tied to Firefox for this idea to succeed.

I didn't know that about the NIH, thank you!

And yes, it's basically subsidizing e-commerce. As I have shown through my examples, these types of subsidies are not new. Nor is it merely a subsidy for e-commerce. The USPS handles government mail, ballots and voter registration, delivering medication, etc. These functions should never rely on a for-profit private business. Mail delivery is a major part of the US infrastructure and USPS is crucial in standardizing costs for that.
It's OK though, the 36% of users who are left really love it.

There is plenty of work running evolutionary algorithms on GPUs, but there are a number of limiting factors that make it less than ideal. Evolutionary algorithms in general can be extremely effective, they just solve very different problems from "is this a picture of a cat?" and aren't as sexy as neural networks.

In fact, much of "old school" CS is still very much alive and applying modern techniques and hardware to their problems. It's not that neural networks are some field of CS that is much more advanced than the rest of CS but rather neural networks happen to be the current hot topic.

I don't think it is. Chrome these days feels like it's being maintained solely as a platform for running Google Docs. And Edge is based on Chromium, a good indication that Microsoft is not very interested in aggressively engaging in browser wars.

So I believe that Firefox has a good chance to gain ground. And Firefox is already doing great and feels much fresher, at least from Chrome. More importantly, we are a far-cry from the crippling incompatibilities of previous browser wars, which essentially required you to replicate the bugs of your opponents.

Also, a "win" for Firefox wouldn't necessarily be toppling Chrome from #1. E.g. a healthy market share percentage + being the top self-installed browser would be a win. Dominating the browser market may even hurt Mozilla Corp., as it could force an aggressive reaction from Google (reduced funding, or even buying them if they can get around anti-monopoly regulations).
I didn't realise that KMS underlay AWS' internal infrastructure, literally the same KMS service that's exposed to users?

> I'd donate to a cause if my money doesn't go towards political alignments of any kind.

That's... well, naive, I guess?

Every single NGO picks an issue, and that issue has a political angle to it. Not only do I think it's unreasonable to expect an NGO to be apolitical, I think it's flat out impossible.

I would ask you: Do you really want NGOs to be apolitical? Or do you want them to share your political alignment, and in that way be non-controversial?

This looks really nice, and I do think it fits an increasing need in a field where typically only major universities or brilliant individuals (putting in a ton of time) on youtube usually find a place.

I have a couple questions for you:

- It looks like one can record a screen or a video and make "static" slides, but do you have plans to have an in-browser annotating tool ? Something where one can annotate the slides along with their recording, and edit/cut/redo parts of that whenever they make a mistake (I'm thinking of videos like eigeinchris[0] where slides are annotated as he speaks - being able to edit mistakes is something youtube just doesn't really offer so far and that would have benefited him)

- What about exports? Can a teacher export a set of static slides from that presentation into a format they can later distribute/share? Can they generate a video from the whole presentation which can also be shared as a file and uploaded elsewhere (vimeo, youtube, etc)?

- And just out of curiosity (and if it's not asking for too much), what's the tech stack you use for testing purposes? I've got experience with that sort of thing and I can imagine a bunch of interesting issues you must be running into!

Lastly: good luck with this product and all the best!

Addicting and dangerous. When I was in the thick of it my nights were restless as my brain continued to spin on my factory and various ideas for its refactoring. I also suddenly can't not see our global economy and its gradual automation as a massive ongoing MMORPG game of Factorio. The end state then becomes as clear as the state of my final factory - we'd feed raw renewable energy into the system and automatically manufacture an abundance of all goods that people desire. Maybe they all just pop out of the automaton and we gradually lose ability to understand it, fix it, improve it, etc. Depressing. :)
Lockdowns only cannot eliminate this coronavirus. You'd have to also eliminate the virus from bat populations, or eliminate bats, else it will jump back into humans.

The most likely outcome for this is that it becomes endemic, another variant of the common cold, like the several others that already exist.

The 1968 flu killed 1-4 million people, in a world with half as many people. This is nothing unusual, diseases happen, part of being human, shocking news headlines to the contrary.

> The first thing to remember is that we haven't been successful at eradicating many viruses at all. Really the lone exception is smallpox, but many of these viruses exist not only in the human population but in animal populations.

> And then the expectation I have is that this virus will actually become the next common cold coronavirus. What we don't know with these common cold coronaviruses is if they went through a similar transition period.

> So, say something like OC43, which is a common cold coronavirus that was originally from cows. It's been historically reported that there was an outbreak associated with the transition of this virus from cows to humans that was very severe disease, and then after a few years, the virus became just the common cold.

People are overlooking one important point here

The system is a detail here, a major one sure, but the main thing is that the Yuan is not fully convertible

Cutting China off means that either they turn the Yuan into a fully convertible currency or they'll use something else (limited choices here)

Cutting China off: US sellers can't pay China. Will they cut everybody else from transacting with China? I think that China would see this as justification for very harsh actions.

Funny thing is, if China is forced to make their currency convertible, this will result in a more Open China, not less. Weird times we're in

Great explanation. What are the top theories for why the universe began in a low entropy state? The mere fact of that seems to contradict our current understanding of entropy. That implies that there is something very fundamental about the universe which we don't understand.

Can you elaborate here? I can have no job or health insurance, and I can obtain treatment at the hospital.

Likewise, I participate in city council and roundtables with city and state officials. They listen to the community and policy changes are affected based on that. Govt seems to work pretty well locally. Federal govt is not relevant at that level.

Would you say the same thing about fictional books? They're generally regarded as being worth the time, but aren't they also "a poor substitute for real life." You could be having your own experiences instead of reading made-up ones. I don't see why games should be different. Certainly not all games are created equally, and some exist only to suck away time and money, but it's obvious when that's the intention.

IMO what all these commenters and mainstream narratives miss is: cheap launch cost enabling space based industry and development. Once you move resource extraction of space based resources and industrial production INTO space it’s game over. The solar systems vast riches are available. Mars and the moon value in the long term is their relative shallow gravity wells.

I don’t know how robotics plays in here, that’s the innovation to come.

Of course its mostly only boring when you haven't yet figured out the "design patterns" of an efficient base, and/or are too lazy to tear down what you have to build them out.

I wouldn't be too quick to point to Covid as evidence of anything, yet. Unless you are just wanting to say that we have a very divided landscape.

Just more light on them. (And I am hopeful that that is a good thing, for the arc of progress.)

I’ll bite. Looking in from the outside the US is in terminal decline because it lacks:

* a viable education system which has led to the current wave of anti-science sentiment.

* a viable healthcare system which is causing people to get in debt over the smallest of medical issues.

* a viable political system which represents the will of the people.

* a viable economy where the younger generation can expect to do better than their parents.
I have a similar perspective. For me, the first reaction after getting halfway through the article was "this is a pedantic distraction".

I don't worry too much about these things. The whole point of something high level like C# is to be able to focus more on the problem domain than the language features. In most cases, I would just let VS clean these things up for me. I very rarely disagree with what the latest version of VS2019 suggests for code cleanup tasks.

I think a good parallel is OWASP for web app security. The content is free and open for the internet. OWASP doesn't directly focus on curating the content and it is left up to the community. The content grows old and stale, errors do not get corrected, and the writing is often what I would call draft quality even when its published.

There are always a lot more consumers than creators of content on any platform. Most people going to use a resource are not the same who can write about it, not everyone on YouTube has something to share or make a video. And why give it away for free when you can make a paid course, give a talk, charge consulting fees, sell a solution to a problem?

You need to align incentives. Again, why contribute to something and possibly deal with the pain of moderation for free (costs instead of gain). Should we blindly trust the wisdom of the crowds? The other cost of free, is that the community may not be capable or not interested in sufficient moderation - this leads to low quality content which chases people away, even if there is good content right next to it.

OWASP's incentives and objectives have never been 100% clear to me. There are some big security players involved, but it seems more interested in research, community, grants, etc versus content. When you look at MDN, Mozilla has a clear incentive to document these things so developers build more "standard" vs "Chrome-focused" web apps, which helps keep users on FireFox since all of their favorite sites are less likely to break without FireFox simply copying decision made by Chrome. By documenting expected action and quirks, it forces Google et al. to try to move back towards agreed upon standards.

In security, I am generally more reliant upon vendor write ups and content from people with a reputation. Security has a much smaller population than web dev. Also, for web dev a lot of people pick it up and feel comfortable writing publicly even when they are just starting out (See Dev.To). I am not sure if companies pump millions of dollars into commercial web tools beyond graphics and CMS type stuff, so I wonder if a more decentralized collection of guidance is practical for the web, not to mention that there is a lot of nuance between browsers and even recent versions.
Roomservice is incredible for adding multiplayer mode to any app. Very cool to see you using them.
The issue is that the mission Mozilla views itself as having and the mission many people want Mozilla to have are not the same.

I feel they could have gone with this much simpler explanation and everyone would be happy;

SHOW HN: How to Develop a Custom CRM Using Only Low-Code Platforms
They build from the logistics chests, and yeah by blueprints. You can also have them tear things down as well, and they wind up in logistics chests. One thing I am doing is I have two separate logistics networks, and from my main I have conveyors taking things I want to the 2nd logistics network.

You can also start a Sandbox game mode to explore everything you can do (note infinity chests are extremely useful, you pick a item in the game, and it will produce as many of them as you want perpetually, then your inserters can pull those out into conveyors simulating different parts of what you'd like your factory to look like). Definitely recommend this approach, you can explore as much as you'd like to explore.

Also note, there are a few websites with prebuilt blueprints as well.
