That's neat and I'm going to keep an eye on it. The -15° F ambient differential somewhat limits its usefulness, and I'd like to see an induction-powered heater as an option instead of conduction-based heating. I'm guessing the 10-year lifespan is due to the fan bearings and the molecular sieve lifetime, and I'd like to see the overall system lifespan increased by 10X.

Would be interested in the papers behind this tech, as I think there are a lot of caveats they're glossing over.

[1] seems to be a paper on adjacent technology.

[2] seems to indicate the service lifetime of the molecular sieve is the controlling factor in the estimated lifecycle. 10 years sounds like the upper range.

So now there's way less things that add-ons can do, and it's supposed to be all peachy for Firefox users? Talk about competitiveness.

I assume you mean people on C permits? Saying my statement is "simply not true" is a little strong when I specifically included an "and/or." I'm aware that permanent residents won't be kicked out for this (and probably should have clarified that it affects residents with residency dependent on financial stability), but my point is that they'll still face some consequences even if it's the effect on future naturalization and the regular chiding to apply for jobs, which I actually agree with.

I'm not trying to argue that Switzerland is a bad place for those who are unemployed, but that there are reasons that many people here wouldn't want to depend on it if a low-commitment job like driving for Uber is available.
Jitsi is free software afaik, so a higher ethical standard than open source, although it classifies as open source because of this automatically. Aside from that, I think we should require free software and only switch to "merely open source", if there is no free software alternative.

Of course we should not simply require such a thing, but we should instead try to help, by making tutorials for easy setup of tools, for example Jitsi. We should create a guide, which any computer class teacher should be able to follow. Not an easy to meet criteria though. Perhaps people could also offer support for teachers for setting things up. Whatever we do, we should support teachers as well, not only make a requirement and we should not tie this support to any costs for the teachers.

OK, so your answer is that world is super simple and comes down to a single variable explaining everything? Sorry but that does not sound very convincing to say the least.

There was a time where Firefox needed to be installed manually on Windows where IE was provided by default and it become the leading browser. Ask yourself why it's not the case anymore.
Wow, I never thought about that before. So, if you could draw a vacuum in your whole kitchen or bathroom, would the suction cup fall down?

It’s hard to consume $700m, certainly - but you can easily spend that much money doing what capitalists do: creating, acquiring and merging businesses. Think money as a tool, rather than just as something to be converted into goods and services.

Wildcard expansions are done by shells, so no, exec() wouldn't trigger this "vulnerability".

Unless you're talking about a specific language's exec() that either does its own wildcard expansion, or actually runs its arguments in a shell.

That's exactly it, the 'wage' is a tip - and often kept low on purpose, can't pay income tax if you don't earn an income - the real money is in being able to make decisions that benefit your interests.

Hehe, you are correct, indeed I did not think of macros in the moment.

We do have some megacut wrapping overhead then though ;)

Can you post a link to the macro on the Guile user list? Perhaps someone can rewrite it to a hygienic macro. Some people there very proficient in macrology. I am not that proficient in macrology.

Did we watch the same video, the one where he is in the Uber with two women? Because in the video I saw, he was politely disagreeing with the facts the driver was saying.

Neither person raised their voice or cursed, and I guess you can call it arguing but I did not see anything that was inappropriate behavior.

We are disagreeing right now, and maybe one of us has even been drinking -- does that mean that we are now ineligible to be CEOs?

Haven't played video games for some time, but at least when I was still pirating, malware and spyware was pretty common. Bugs and incompatibilities caused by pirating were also not unheard of.

Playing pirated game is putting trust into the hands of some anonymous hackers. And that begs the question, what do they gain from giving out the game for free?

They could be doing it just for fun, for coolness, or out of altruism. And that's true for probably many case. But to say none of them wanted to earn expedient money would not persuade me.
Salary wise sure, but with salaries beyond, say, $200K / year, you quickly end up in a realm where the real money isn't in the salary anymore, but stocks / stock options. This is where the "Bezos earns $999999 a second" headlines come from - that's not his salary, that's some munging of figures from Amazon's revenue or market value. He benefits from that for holding a big stake in the company. Pretty sure he's tied to rules that mean he can't easily sell his stake in it either.

Good point. I hope I get the opportunity to test this hypothesis, but right now I can't imagine that mattering to me. I've made decisions recently where my thought process literally was, "Ok so if we win big, I'll have a slightly smaller yacht." It's not that hard to treat your people well.

I fully recognize it's easy to say now, and I hope I stick to it when given the chance.

More interesting than currently easy promises is: how do you interview the founders to maximize the chance that they're not greedy assholes?

all technically deprived people I have seen, use none of the above, the first thing they do is open google (most have it nowadays in defult tab page) and they type the URLs given to them there, no one knows about address/search bar, and if some know, they expect it to work like the google search box

Update: I hide some site of mine from google, I do not care about SE traffic and block any crawler, and I have noticed when I give some people I know a URL from that site, they often tell me that it cannot be found, given google search they use all the time does not list it
This happened with Monster Hunter World's Iceborne expansion. It updated the included version of Denuvo and added many, many threads that constantly scanned the game executable for modifications as an anti-cheat mechanic.

A modder distributed a tool to bypass the anti-cheat and restore performance the same day the expansion released. It took over two weeks for Capcom to get the game playable again, and many more before they improved performance back to roughly pre-update levels.

For reference, I'd been using Steam Proton to play the base game on Linux and was getting 60fps at nearly max settings. After the update, I got 1. One frame per second. I saw a number of similar reports from native Windows players.

Doug fir grows at approximately two feet per year. Do you see a lot of 40 foot tall trees in those burn scars? It's the tree that most commonly repopulates a burned area in this region of Oregon.

I agree that contact tracing is important, but there are ways to do it without tracking each student's location all the time. The contact tracing app we have in Germany simply communicates with phones nearby, remembers who it has met, and if any of them test positive it sends you an alert.

There was a long and heated discussion about making this app as privacy focused as possible while still being useful, and it seems to have struck a reasonable compromise. Why can't the college's contact tracing app do something similar?
I have been on both sides of this situation. Running bug bounty programs, and submitting vulnerabilities to Google both before and after I worked there.

Often a researcher will find a bug, report it, and then weeks or months later reply with a follow up that dramatically changes the scope or severity.

Based on all of my interactions with the Google VRP program, I consider it much more likely the researcher isn't giving the whole story about the timeline. They are super responsive, take shit seriously, and push teams to get patches out.
What kind of rule?
> I do not understand why the author waited so long to disclose and also feels that Google deserves a "stellar job" here.

Because people are afraid of megacorps. They've found the courage to disclose the issue, but they've also felt that the blow needs to be softened by praising Google's security team, despite their negligence in handling this issue.

At universe-scale, does it makes sense to talk about a general "now"? I thought that, when large enough distances are involved, "now" becomes a local concept.
Code doesn't rust or corrode or accumulate bugs as it gets older. Obviously things can change around it, i.e. Dependencies and that can lead to some mandatory changes but really there are plenty of software that is old. Much older than 20 years and it's "ready" i.e. Has All the features it needs and it's still being built and run on modern computers and it works fantastically. My own software goes back +15 years now and over the years I've ported it from 32bit builds to 64bit builds and from Qt4 to Qt5. Other than that very few new features or changes in the past years since it has all the functionality that is needed. And it works great. What's wrong with that?

Changing code (or UI or UX or anything really) just for the sake of changing it is just nonsense busywork to me.

Their subscription left me with a bad aftertaste as well. They "freeze" the account for a couple of days prior to and after the billing date and will not allow you to cancel in that period. So you then have to call again after the freeze lifts.

you are not explaining why i would care though?

and i have not seen a single alternative posted by anyone here, so all the argumnts against seem rather hollow and just self serving. blocking making playing field fairer as you wont be the one to benefit from the increased fairness.

I also think that people are missing the point that the entire work environment is tuned to a specific group of people.. which is not healthy.

that specific group of people are not going to actively de-tune their environment for potential future hires that they dont even have metrics to measure how tuned they are.

the only solution i can see is to get those other people in, see what need changing, change that.. wait a full generation and re-evaluate.

How do propose getting more diversity without some kind of support or appreciation of the value of the under represented? and to those thinking of themselves before the wider picture this will always seem "unfair".

If you were watching over some kids and you had not noticed but for an hour one kid had been bullying other kids to achieve a huge lead over them in the game they were playing. so you step and stop the bullying.. great. but where is the incentive for the other kids to keep playing together if the historical effects of the bullying are not addressed?

There’s nothing wrong with working in a startup, if the salary is decent. The only risk you’re taking is that it might go under, but then again, a well established company might lay you off too.

> The decline of Firefox is because of one thing only - the enormous marketing and engineering clout of Google and their utterly ruthless, relentless, anti-competitive pushing of Chrome across Android and all their web properties and even through ads all over the world.

That probably had an effect, but I don't agree that its the single biggest factor. Before Chrome arrived, my experience in general was that Firefox had gotten slow and buggy, and when one tab crashed the whole browser went down with it. It was a once great product that had stagnated.

Compared to that, Chrome was a breath of fresh air, so me and many people I know migrated and then recommended it to friends and family. That had nothing to do with the Android version; at the time I didn't even have a smartphone, and many other tech people that migrated had iPhones. The desktop browser was simply a better product; and since at the time Google wasn't considered evil, and its Chromium base was open-source software, there was no reason not to use it.

I eventually migrated back to Firefox myself, and am currently very happy with its performance, stability, and exploration of privacy features like Container Tabs. However, it wasn't before e10s I felt I could really recommend Firefox over Chromium to anyone else.

They don't seem to answer "why is Christianity the source of meaning", but rather "why choose Christianity as religion", which is a different question, so I might have misrepresented them. Either way, none of them seem very logically conclusive to me.

The problem with an efficiency rating that includes air ingress is that the outdoor air temperature is an unconstrained variable.

The dual hose unit will likely outperform significantly if the temperature delta is high, but if the temp delta is low then the single-hose unit is probably better as it likely has a more efficient compressor.

It looks like DOE SACC tests assume the outdoor air temp is 83 degrees for 80% of your usage and 95 degrees for 20% of your usage.
