Its not just about the code though. Somehow that code needs to keep up with the latest standards and magically be delivered to my client device. To think that a project as complex as the Firefox ecosystem can be maintained with less than 50 engineers doesn't match my experience working on large product teams.

Here's my estimate:

* A dozen build engineers to support development and builds for X client platforms

* A dozen engineers for the Javascript VM

* Dozens of engineers to support ongoing javascript and CSS standards

* A dozen engineers or more to support the firefox core

* Dedicated teams for Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux targets

* Dozens of Team/Programme/Project managers to _enable_ devs to do their best. These folks aren't optional.

* UX designers

* Graphical design artists

* Technical writers
A lot of folks seem to be ignoring this.

Sharia finance does use interest. They just call it something different. There is no difference between me buying a $100 product using a loan, and paying the bank $110 in total (Western banking), compared to the bank buying the product for $100, and charging me $110 for it (Sharia banking). The fact that it's different words doesn't mean it's not interest.
Does Chinese law also allow the government to hack into companies when they don't cooperate with government?

Europeans are free to say the same, or negotiate acceptable GDPR-style data protection standards with the countries that receive their data (which in many cases has already happened).
Do you think the trade wars trump administration opened with Europe mexico and canada are in the benefit of free trade, or US supremacy?
Before you have a moral right to invoke reciprocity you should actually abide by that principle. This administration openly say it's policy is all about protectionism so how can you actually attribute free trade reciprocity to these actions?
Just recently there was a study in the Netherlands about measles. The result was that if you catch the measles your immune system actually gets attacked and you loose some immunity towards colds etc. that you had before.
> Do normal credit cards there not have cash back benefits? Do credit cards exist or because naturally they would charge you interest, do they not exist? It's interesting how there's a whole different ecosystem of apps in the part of the world that most of the world lives in.

I'm not familiar with how credit cards work there, but from my point of view cash-back benefits aren't all that widespread. Aside from AmEx I'm not familiar with any such arrangement available in France. And even AmEx is pretty much a joke, you'd have to spend an enormous amount of money every year just so that cashback could reach the price of the card.
Apparently, the sandbox cannot enforce such a time limit.

From a similar thread to the one linked from the root comment:

> ..Attempts to control untrusted scripts may be in
vain. E.g. string.find, string.rep and other C functions can be abused and will either run forever or allocate unlimited amounts of memory. This is true for both Lua and LuaJIT.

> The only reasonably safe way to handle untrusted Lua scripts is to isolate them in a process context and to make use of per-process quotas/limits provided by the operating system.

Assange doesn't have to prove anything. He just has to say what Trump wants to get the pardon, and Trump will blast that all over Twitter and on every news outlet in the country.

If that sounds like an official act in return for a personal political favor to the president to help his reelection chances and therefore is illegal, you would be correct!

You can't both say "china is wrong in its policies so it's eye for an eye" AND "it's a good policy".

What you're saying there in this reply is essentially that every country should just close itself off to the rest of the world and operate on its own technologically. I don't believe this is a point of you held by the majority, not even would I believe you if you told me you hold this view (since I've seen your posts before and I don't think this is something you think).
Yeah, but ResNet does not have sparse matrices, so how could it use them? Post ReLU activations may be sparse, but I don't think that helps when used with a non-sparse Conv2d.
Water is essentially free. You are paying for the container.

They messed with the acceleration algorithm to where it was almost impossible for me to solve the lily pad jump puzzle.

They tweaked that fight where you chase the big monster around an endless forest hallway to be ABSURDLY easy.

Oh and the changed swimming mechanic was fucked, although I just read that they fixed it maybe?

That is true. But finding out those numbers is a much bigger problem for you or I than it is for a national government that can dedicate full-time research staff to producing sensible estimates.

So a benefit of this policy is that environmentally conscious private citizens no longer need to feebly grapple with such questions. You and I just optimize for personal expense and our own happiness while computing the carbon footprints of various things is the responsibility of institutions that actually have the resources to do it.

I think the real concern is that social networks can be used for mass political opinion manipulation. Algorithmic recommendations and deplatforming have become political battlegrounds and the power of the social media companies is recognized more and more as being immense.
It's telling that in a nation with 4% of the world's population and 25% of its prisoners, one still finds complaints about "unchecked pardons". That's before one even considers the odious racial history.
I would far prefer an organized UI to one that tries to look clean by tucking away functionality under a hamburger icon.

This is not to say that I insist upon menus. Since I never had much invested in Microsoft Office, I do appreciate the ribbon bar. It does a fairly good job of organizing and exposing functionality in an otherwise complex piece of software. Contrast that with GNOME's approach. It is rather difficult to design a complex piece of software when most of the functionality is hidden behind a single menu.

At the other extreme, you have software that is somehow command driven. The interface can be kept clean by hiding away all of the functionality. (An example of this would be vim.) Yet that is not what GNOME is trying to provide. GNOME is a graphical interface that is supposed to facilitate discoverability. Discoverability will always be a trade-off between visual clutter or a reduced feature set. The only other option is to hide functionality, which is dangerous in a GUI.
For some reason once the tab list reaches the other side of the monitor it makes me feel uneasy, so I close down any tabs that I don't need open.

I've never found the need to have more than 8 or so tabs open really - and if I want to compare things, then I just open another browser window and pop it next to it, or on a different monitor.

I'm sure there are very good reason for people that have 50+ tabs open - everyones brain works differently after all - but it makes my brain itch!

IANAL while this does vary by jurisdiction, it's my understanding that even in two party states the consent is given to record the call and not consent as to which party is doing the recording. So if they ask and you agree, you can also record without telling them because consent has been granted.

Wow, this is really neat. I was wondering whether this is GPU optimized and not to be disappointed:

"Fragment is a collaborative cross-platform audiovisual live coding environment with pixels based real-time image-synth approach to sound synthesis, the sound synthesis is powered by pixels data produced on the graphics card by live GLSL code, everything is based on pixels!"

Now, if only there was some way to transpile existing VST/AU plugins into this platform. I've been dreaming of GPU accelerated legacy instruments and FX for a while!
Because we're clearly talking about tech companies and social media companies.
It's so negative, why people keep being cynical towards Firefox Mozilla.
Software ... the part that software developers write ... is created to run on a strong foundation of CPU, GPU, NICs, RAM, PCI buses, SSD and so on (which the EE, ChemE, Chem, math, physics people make). That makes our stuff better than if it was software all the way down. HW is formally verified.
Wouldn't it be better to read the Accept header and look for text/plain?
Partially because of the "low-end" keyword, for chips, volumes are key criteria, hisilicon sold way more chips there than others, it does seem like a monopoly to me though. Two years ago I read somewhere it has 80% of the chips shipped in surveillance market, not only for cameras, but NVR/DVR as well.

>Hmm, do we really want to open this conversation to making broad generalizations about groups based on small groups of extremists within it? Neither side wins in a conversation like that.

I'd argue it's still a better outcome than if only one side is allowed to make broad generalizations about groups based on small groups of extremists within it, while the other side is silenced.
This happened to me on two occasions about two years ago, I can’t remember the domain names I was trying to register. In my case, the godaddy website I used was Godaddy.co.za (probably because I was based in South Africa). I thought it was a fluke or mistake from my side at the time, but seeing that others have experienced the same issue then I would say it’s a deliberate bad business practice by godaddy.
> The precondition is full sincerity and desire to know the truth.

Believe me when I say I had both of these, and applied them earnestly in fervent & frequent prayer, study and self-denial for years. What did it get me? A whole lot of disappointment and confusion. The scientific world view has not brought me anywhere near the false happiness of believing I could become a blissful immortal, but it has at least given me firm ground to stand on, and to have rock-solid reasons for what I can still appreciate.

I'm glad for anyone who can experience a happy daily life in a religious worldview, but having the prideful audacity to claim that it is equally available to everyone (and by implication, that anyone who doesn't have the same response is a liar) is either dangerously ignorant or outright evil. I have known your kind before, because I was one. Think about it.

Surely the fact he's being tried in the Eastern District of Virginia is enough to know there will be no justice for Assange. This is likely his only chance to escape brutal injustice.

It's not cultural that if you generate static HTML with syntax-highlighted code, the viewer only has to click once, whereas a zip file requires 3 or 4 clicks, plus filesystem namespace, for an un-highlighted version.

If you want 100 people to view your website, isn't it fair to spend 50x of your own time as you can save of the viewer's time?

Reciprocity in the Age of Extinction
> Regardless of your political affiliation, the world is a better place that this information is public.

In its purest form, I'm inclined to agree with you.

But I think Assange is more of a tool than a tool-user. He's a launderer of information provided by parties with an agenda.

This might be inevitable, given the players, but it doesn't make it pure or honest.

Also I think he injects a lot of personal agenda into his curation of released information. This opens him up for legitimate criticism, just like any other activist or politician.
Then why did was offshoring to an intolerant regime was seen as legitimate since the 90s? Only when it started to hurt a few deep american pockets was this talk about intolerant regime became an issue.
I hold the view that some nationalistic policies are in the best interest of the United States, and I communicate this in writing to policy makers I interface with.

It seems like this system is crucially dependent on the balance of departing and returning vessels to conserve momentum. While that balance might be maintained over long timescales, it seems unlikely over short ones, especially the first years of operation at earth, which are likely to have many departures and few returns. And anyone who's seen a UHaul lot in a college town on the first week of school knows that departures and returns are often quite out of balance for short periods.

It also seems like there is a conservation of energy issue here that I don't understand. In a state of balanced departures and returns, the energy used to launch departing vessels would be captured from returning vessels, but in the Earth-Mars loop, the returning vessels were themselves launched from the surface of Mars and accelerated by tethers there. It feels like a perpetual motion machine.

I hope we will get a remake after the new movie hits the theatres :) (or streaming services, we'll see about covid)
My concern about unchecked pardons is, well, the subject of the article; the use of the pardon power to arrange a quid pro quo. Obviously, separately, the US has major criminal justice problems, but you won't solve those by letting an individual pardon anyone they feel like.
>Try harder. And while you're trying, learn a little US history. The real stuff, not fauxnews talk show host interpretive stories designed to create controversy in order to sell more ads...

Could you point me to the part in US history that shows rioting and destroying innocent people's lives and property is not an act of hatred?

Windows as gaming platform has managed quite well without Steam, Epic Store, Gog, no need to pollute my OS with third party garbage.

> Not sure I agree with this. Intolerance of intolerance is a hallmark of a tolerant society, and we see it everywhere with bans against inciteful speech — if we're to use that example.

The same can be applied to software and algorithms. These cannot be allowed to perpetuate evil practices in the name of liberty.[1] I don't see a problem when apps doing that get banned. Though I do understand that people will differ on how to do that.

Regarding 2) ...evidently focusing on their existing userbase isn't viable.

So often these comments like "they are ignoring their user base" and "why won't they let us donate to firefox" miss the point (even if true / beneficial)...they don't want to double down on their existing user base; they want to expand their userbase to go with their mission of bringing more trust to the web

Firefox was the better extension platform for years, and that wasn't enough to entice users away from Google and Chrome. They are trying, and failing, to find a differentiator that will give market share. Trust, privacy, and security on the web so far hasn't got to consumers' hearts, and extensibility and donations are basically just pandering to those few users that remain.
It's interesting how you think you've solely 'escaped' the bubble, and yet I bet I can guess your beliefs on almost every major point after this comment, as well as your race, age, and income.

How can I exist with co-workers who think every point of inequality is systemic racism and white supremacy, Trump supporter's are all trailer park hicks, 97% of the protests are peaceful, believe that just because of your skin color you shouldn't be called a thug for looting, believe Trump colluded with the Russians despite 0 evidence, think Flynn deserves to be in prison, think Trump isn't helping the black community...

I usually do pay attention and so far I have seen one person with a camera taped over. This is just not a thing, no matter how the media wants it to be.
To be honest, I think some form of abuse was bound to happen. Your files are encrypted client-side with JavaScript before uploading, so to the server it's just an opaque blob.

Out of curiosity, I did some technical analysis¹ of how your files were being encrypted to see if they were really secure and as a side-effect, also wrote a Go client for it.

An interesting property I did discover about the way the encryption keys are derived is that the scheme allows you to delegate an oblivious third-party to download the blob for you, without actually revealing the file contents to them.

This is a misapplication of Popper's tolerance paradox. You do not describe our "being intolerant of their intolerance of our products (content, code, and signals)", but rather our "being intolerant of their products (content, code, and signals".

True but cowpox vs smallpox is a trivial counterexample but it certainly isn't complete protection given the many strands of the common cold and flu. To make a complete hash out of the actual details of biology for the sake of explanation we could say that cowpox shared the same immune signature as smallpox while being less deadly resulting in any smallpox infection attempt being nipped in the bud by the immune system.

In that case the question is "Would there be more deadly alias viruses counterparts out there and how does the relative risk profile out?" There is also a matter of niche and the fact we would strongly prefer that mostly harmless ones fill the niche rather than deadly ones but we still sterilize instruments because we rationally don't want to take the chance that our "harmless" microbes might mutate to something more deadly on us, let alone the location dependent danger like ecoli in the digestive tract is fine but not in your bloodstream.

Does it not bother you that the RealClear Investigations article provides zero external links or evidence itself? It reads to me like a long obfuscation of the difference between "circumstantial" and "concrete" evidence. Much of it built on the fact that lots of information is still redacted. Once the writer eliminates those two nuances, he can create his own accusation (without evidence, mind you):

"The fact that the Democratic Party employed the two private firms that generated the core allegations at the heart of Russiagate -- Russian email hacking and Trump-Russia collusion – suggests that the federal investigation was compromised from the start."

How does it "suggest" the investigation was compromised? I don't see the evidence.
