I'm very unhappy with his 'new experience'. Lots of UX failures:

(I use top address bar)

1) to launch new tab in private mode I need to tap private tab at the top of the screen, then 'plus' button at the bottom, then address bar the top. Previously, it was far easier.

2) switching tabs is way worse than before.. If you are at the top tab, and 'open new link in new tab', said new tab is not even visible when you press switch tabs button!! You need to scroll up to see it! Old tab switcher was just better.

3) it suggests saving logins /passwords that are entered in private mode. Seriously?

I can go on, but these are the most annoying 'improvements'.

The only good addition is persistent notification to close private tabs.

And I'm not alone unhappy: several pages on Google Play are filled with 1 and 2 star ratings.

I would love to own more antiques. Many of them are truly beautiful handmade artifacts of great aesthetic power from a time when manual skill and humanistic ornament really mattered. If you must own something (like a chair or table), it's nice to own something that has its own history. You become a caretaker more than an owner. It encourages repair instead of disposal.

Personally I don't own more antiques because they are usually shockingly expensive. The story I like to tell is that not long ago I went to get an antique repaired at a restorer. His workshop doubled as a warehouse; he used to be an antiques dealer but now does rentals for TV/film production alongside his restoration business.

The warehouse was filled to the brim with beautiful antique furniture that was literally caked in dust. He lamented to me that young people like me don't want to buy antiques any more. I told him I loved antiques, and that (pointing) that wooden chair over there is beautiful. Maybe I'll take it home. How much is it? "That one? That's $4,000."

No wonder our generation doesn't buy antiques--you'd have to be a millionaire to furnish a home!
> The North likes to view the American Civil War in terms of slavery, and the South likes to view it in terms of states rights

Minor nitpick, but the Confederacy viewed slavery as the cornerstone of their government[1]. Those who now claim the Civil War was about 'states rights' are engaging in simple, brazen revisionism.

> In what’s now known as the “Cornerstone Speech,” Stephens told a Savannah, Ga., crowd in 1861 that “our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas [as those of slavery foes]; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.”

That's great news. I get fed up of random PDFs littering my Downloads folder.
Not sure if you tried it, but for me it was an absolute shitshow. It "upgrades" your settings, so if you then downgrade the app, everything is lost (as you have to uninstall + manually install the old apk).
In my case it also decided to reset overridden settings to "defaults" (search engine, save passwords etc.), plus about:config was gone and the homepage cannot be set to bookmarks anymore.
I uninstalled it and went back to the latest 68.x, and am now looking for a new browser on Android, possibly one that doesn't treat me like an idiot.
it is unfortunately like that. Not just in US but in Brazil too. I don't know if it works. I don't like any politician. But it's true that both sides (left and right) are politicizing the drug.
There is a widespread belief that hurricanes and tropical cyclonic storms in general have increased in frequency and strength. This is a justified concern due to the existence of global warming and the potential loss of life and property damage generated by these immense storms.

I'm not a climate scientist, but I have read about climate change and hurricanes (and cyclones):

* In 1886 there were 7 major hurricanes that year, four hit Texas and three that hit florida. (See the hurricane tracking map for that year[1].) This was the most active year on record for hurricanes in the US, see[8].

* Barack Obama had the best record for hurricanes, only four hurricanes over eight years. Taft (1909-1913) had 13 in just four years over five times the rate that Obama had. Bush had 18, and Trump has had 7. The numbers are all over the place.[2]

* Claims that increasing ocean surface temperature will clearly generate more intense hurricane activity need to be tempered by an understanding of the energy source that drives hurricanes. It is not temperature; it is the temperature delta between the surface temperature and the overlying air that provides the energy for hurricanes, see [3], and the troposhere is warming faster than the surface according to climate scientists [4]. Wouldn't this mean that there should be less powerful and or less frequent hurricanes.

* Global climate-related deaths have dropped dramatically over the last century according to data from Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters [5] and cited with a figure on p. 74 of [6].

* The IPCC 5 Summary Volume Final report technical summary (TFE.9, Table 1 on page 110) has this to say concerning the statement: "Increases in intense tropical cyclone activity". "Low confidence" that changes occured (since 1950), "Low confidence" of a human contribution to observed changes, and "Low confidence" of further changes in early 21st century. See p. 110 [7].

The IPCC, in general, has low confidence that climate change is currently responsible for changes in hurricane intensity.

* We can't rely on our own personal experience for understanding hurricane frequency, obviously.

Overly pessimistic. We have irrigation, dams, and drainage, we’re not totally beholden to the natural rainfall cycle anymore for farming. As far as coastal cities go, we should be investing more in sea walls, but I think technology can help solve these problems too as it has so far in Miami and Venice. If it eventually gets too expensive to maintain that will happen gradually, not like a sudden refugee crisis.

But the amazingness of Google's Photo service is the search.

My wife and I reminisce and say something like "remember that time we went to a Yankees/Red Sox baseball game - so much fun". I search for "Yankees baseball", and boom, there's the photo of my wife, at the stadium, from 2012.

Yes, the goal is very much to bring provisioning & operations of all resources on to the core platform we're using, Kubernetes. I mentioned in another reply how excited I am to be able to manage things like SQS queues now with my app, via Helm Charts, rather than need separate machinery to manage/operate my app & the various resources it needs.

And now there is a control loop. So if Ben in support accidentally deletes my queue, it'll get recreated.

Breaking away from the proprietary platform underlay is going to be great. Managing things more consistently is going to be really great.

To be clear, I don't think they're doomed, but I think this measure will provide ammunition to those who want to sideload apps and make their own app stores, which is presumably what Epic wants.

I think this has been inevitable for some time, but I think by making this mistake they have they they've accelerated the process and damaged their monopoly far earlier than they had to.

Yeh. Me too. Maybe I just missed them.
Most of the world-famous libre software is built without their developers study of massively collected usage data ("telemetry").

I look at VLC as a great example to follow. Their stats show 3.4 billion downloads (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/stats/downloads.html), yet they do no telemetry at all. The product works great. It could be improved of course, but Outlook could also greatly be improved, and they have high-salary staff and a boatload of data they extract from users. Yet it's slow as hell and has lots of UX I disagree with.

I'm myself the author of a replacement of Windows "alt-tab" on macOS (https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/) which doesn't do any telemetry. I can lead the roadmap, with the help of the community, without spying on how users set their preferences and use the app.

As a matter of fact, it can be argued that acting that way can be negative value as it's reinforcing popular usage; or from the power-users perspective, dumbing down the software. By definition, advanced features will have low usage. It doesn't mean it should be removed.

Lastly, think about non-software businesses. Many amazing products have simply no way to gather data when the products are in the users homes. They rely on gathering data by talking to customers at the points of purchase, customer care, are in various forums with enthusiast users. This model has shown great results, so it is in no way clearly to be avoided in favor of telemetry-everything.

The initial "hcq works" was also independent of any actual scientific research or result.

If someone says "Take this magical cure, maybe it could work... but I don't have any evidence of it yet", it's not so terrible to start from a position of skepticism. Could hcq work? Maybe, although with every randomized trial it seems less likely. But the people who initially pushed it did so from a position of wishful thinking, not actual science. This might have been a hoax of ignorance not evil, but in the end, I say it's still a hoax.

Why PostgreSQL 13 is a Lucky Release
In April, Dr Zelenco stated he had treated some 600 patients with HCQ+Zinc+Zpac with good results. And now more doctors are saying the same.
Not a single trial has tested this treatment. This is why people won’t give up hope. From my reading it seems to be Zpac that creates the most heart risk and doxycycline is now sometimes used instead.
I hope any vaccine that comes out against COVID-19 will get the same level of scrutiny HCQ+Zinc does.

But we all know it really won't, as long as it's promoted by the mainstream media. All the amateur study readers will suddenly find better things to do.
"The reason why most startups don't start this way is because many successful founders have an intuitive understanding for what the problem is and what the right solution should look like"

This kind of over simplification of popular founding stories doesn't help founders. There are almost always twists and turns in most founding stories, including the product; it's rarely a strait path. It's the ability to navigate those riptides that lead to successful execution. Thats why YC invests in people and not ideas. This post provides tools for founders to evaluate their ideas, markets, features, and other "leaps of faith", something that founders have to do continuously once they are in business.
If by the 'American Way' you're referring to capitalism, is there another substantially different system that has produced as much innovation, wealth, and prosperity over such a short period in human history?

> Regarding your security concern, Firefox's PDF viewer is PDF.js. Parsing PDF files in a JS sandbox and rendering it to an HTML <canvas> in a sandboxed process should be more secure than rendering it using an unsandboxed app that parses/renders using system APIs.

Almost definitely. You can go to https://www.exploit-db.com/ and search for PDF and see many application exploits for PDF viewers, and that includes for linux (and not just commercial applications, Poppler is on there as well, though more than just a few years back).

PDFs have shown that they are a fertile ground for exploit, so running them though a sandboxed VM is a very good way to limit that problem to some degree.

Show HN: Ajour – A World of Warcraft addon manager written in Rust
Childcare (and other “cares”) are being conflated with remote work. Remote work is still work - when you are forced to also handle childcare, you are basically working two jobs, at the same time. No wonder that’s at very least suboptimal.

Long term, I really hope we arrive at a scenario where people can focus on one job at a time and choose the most productive environment for them/their team.

The narrative that remote work == work + childcare is just false though. Current pandemic situation is not normal in any sense and the loss of general services is very painful for everyone.
The super investors of graham doddsville is also instructive reading on this point.
Oh my, yes. Although I disagree, as it's not such a hard thing when you break it down, I'm usually considered a language genius. I am fluent in more than a handful of languages and my travel activity of choice is learning the local language as fast as I can, which starts yielding real results around the 2 week mark. But despite living in Germany for 16 years and having studied it in a bilingual middle school for a handful more, I don't dare near a German newspaper.

Ask HN: How do I “make the switch” towards becoming a director or VP
I have been reasonably successful by some standards at a big tech company, but don't quite think I could ever become a Director or a VP, given the rate at which I am progressing --- it is linear with time, which is not sufficient; I would like to aspire better. I am wondering what kind of things I need to switch about myself and about how I do things. There is the people aspect, and then there is technical aspect. Any thoughts on both of these? Are people willing to share how they overcame similar challenges and "made the switch"?
> ...many successful founders have an intuitive understanding for what the problem is...

Or put it another way, founders solving a problem they themselves have with just enough skill to build an initial solution. Subconsciously many of us forego start-up ideas due to what Paul Graham described as schelp blindness [0].

> Validation is good but often it plays second fiddle to really understanding the problem domain and understanding how the solution is a good fit.

Often times, what the founders set out to build and what they end up getting to product-market fit with are often different things even when they intuitively understand the problem-domain. An example that comes to mind is https://meesho.com, a Unicorn now (with a very different product though roughly in the same domain), but back then failed to raise any capital on YC demo-day [1].

The rumors I've heard are that Nvidia wanted to use TSMC's 7nm process for Ampere, but AMD had bought all their spare capacity, so they had to "fall back" to Samsung's 8nm.

I suspect this is why Ampere is gonna run hot and consume a lot of power relative to AMD's GPU showing this cycle.
Hi everyone, author of Ajour here.

Ajour is a World of Warcraft addon manager written in Rust. The main reason I started this project was to take my Rust skills to the next level, and avoid using the bloated Twitch application. Truth is, this is my first real application in Rust, and what a journey it has been. There's still features missing, a few bugs here and there and many places were I could optimize the code but all in all, I am very proud the current state.
I do that after I get the food : )
I have always been skeptical of the FSF dogma that dynamic linking of a module or shared library into a GPL program's address space propagates the GPL into that module. The choice of inter-module communication technique (dynamic linking, sockets, etc.) shouldn't have any bearing on licensing. Either components are independent or they're not. There's nothing magic that happens when you take an API that's intra-process and run it over a socket instead. If FUSE filesystems don't carry the GPL tag, neither should in-kernel modules logically decoupled from the kernel core.
There had been a small study recently that indicates that N95 masks with valve are likely worse then normal surgical masks (and even some self made ones). While fitted N95 make are already "excellent" wrt. Protecting others.

Only gotcha it's that the study was about introducing a simpler affordable way to measure the effectiveness of masks wrt. protecting others and get feeback for that method, so the number of tests they did are to small to be anything then an indicator for what might maybe be the result in a large study using that method.
