I don’t earn much from either, but I’ve earned about twice as much from Brave as I have from Coil.

I support the open Web Monetization standard more, so I hope more publishers add a tag. https://coil.com/creator
> I've heard of this problem existing in every country. The legal system only works if you have the money to bankroll your case.

To be honest, I don't think it's the case where I live ( Belgium - Europe).

> The most common pro bono cases are asylum cases, family law cases (such as divorce, alimentation or visitation rights cases) and criminal law cases. A special branch of the criminal law cases is the so-called Salduz permanency.

Well, hold on. I’m indian american, I and my parents are lifelong atheists, our families are supposed to be vegetarians by caste and tradition and whatever but we’re not, but! though I eat chicken and fish and so on, I won’t eat beef, not because I feel “indoctrinated” or because I have an insurmountable reflex (I’ve eaten beef voluntarily on a few occasions, but that was mostly to avoid causing a scene).

Notwithstanding the ecological reasons to do so, I voluntarily don’t eat beef because I feel like it’s one of the easiest and least-damaging (ie it’s a tradition that seems to represent comparatively little direct historical social strife) means left to me, as a second-gen person, to maintain some aspect of my heritage.

Identity and tradition among second-gen immigrants in America is complicated (as is identity, generally) and doesn’t really admit generalizations like these.
> (...) they are towed.

For my understanding - do you mean that they're not road legal, or that they're not reliable enough for day-to-day off-track use?
You are right that it was a very difficult endeavor.

I think the main bottleneck is not the installation by the vendors, but the apps available.

I believe, what is missing is an abstraction layer between the apps and the OS. If it was possible to create apps for Android and Apple in a generic way and, it was easy to add a third OS, so all the apps could be made available to the new system, a new OS would be not so limited. I know, I know, that is itself a very difficult endeavor.
Yes. The default configuration does not include Google Photos at all.

The script doesn't make many assumptions so you can get it to do pretty much anything (i.e. I wrote a plugin to have it upload a copy of every photo to Google Photos).

Here's an example of how you could get it to do what you asked if you were using Synology.

1. Use DS File's Photo Backup option to automatically sync photos from your phone to your Synology.

2. Have a scheduled task on your Synology to process photos in the synced folder to your destination folder. (I have this run every minute - it's cheap, I'm impatient, it's worked for years)

3. (optional) Configure Cloud Sync to sync the destination folder to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc. (Now you've got 2 geographically distributed copies of your archive and each supports versioning)
Quoting him: "Our data is so noisy, you can't really infer such a relationship from claims data"
Since all those analyses are retrospective, it's not easy to build a case that will show a causal relationship between the outcome (hospitalization/death) and the covatiates (vitamin D levels). Some will say that this is impossible and only prospective studies will provide an unequivocal evidence.

Therefore, it is not rare that retrospective studies are encountered with skepticism. What baffled me is that recommending people to take vitamin D has almost zero negative consequences, so why not? the data supports it, even if it's not a solid rock proof.
Unfortunately, it's very likely that they did!
At least for JavaScript, it seems like it still doesn't support Inline Variable. I can Extract Variable, but not Inline. Of course, that's a different matter than whether it's supported for Java. Last time I tried using the Java extensions for a non-trivial Spring Boot project, it was intolerably slow. I managed to convince a coworker to switch to IntelliJ after he saw the difference between my setup with IntelliJ and his with VS Code.
Are there any existing licenses or binding agreements that a non-profit can subscribe to that basically says the organization and all its assets, inventions, etc. will in perpetuity be a non-profit? Otherwise it seems to me like a breach of an implied understanding. Anybody could just start a non-profit, get well-meaning people to help out for free, and then when it becomes lucrative, just change its status.

Yes, it's common, but usually theres enough other board members to vote him/her off, if need be.
It reads like a glass half empty. The half full maybe to let people know what you say "yes" to. Carrot and stick.

I personally don’t deal well with evasive behavior, asking or being asked.
Why Good People Do Bad Things (2018)
I m actively promoting brave -- most users are using adblockers anyway, so why not promote a better system. BAT payments are still too small . That's inevitable considering how difficult it is to get started with a crypto wallet compared to paypal where tons of people already have accounts. I am hopeful that crypto payments catch on though.
The source doesn't say this isn't tied to metrics. The base salary is only $450k per year [0]. All the rest of the comp is paid out in other ways. I would wager that there are significant compensation thresholds that are tied to metrics (but we, as outsiders, couldn't know what they are or if they are being hit).

Brave continuously grows and it grows rapidly. This is success.

It’s not possible to get from 0 users to 20% market share overnight. Brave is doing great.
The only reason that people are talking about explicit consent is that so many people (yes, mostly men) were either not noticing or not caring that there wasn't even any implicit consent for their actions.

#MeToo was born out of people being abused and raped due to a culture that gave power to men who were beyond question. Change that culture and maybe we can go back to just having a bit of fun.
At first glance the history looks legit but there are missing holes. From 2004 till now we have multi platform/language editor called Eclipse. From early days it supports plugins. How that one fit in the story? Shouldn't author prefer that one for it's longevity?
That’s what happens if the UI is shit.

The only place left for them is webapps like some of the electron based apps.
I have switched from chrome to firefox on desktop just recently, because chrome accumulated so many usability problems that i can not stand it anymore.
I should have been clearer, but I meant for building MVPs for side-projects and startups (although I have actually built many an MVP with C# in the Enterprise world too).

Bing is the obvious product, but I'm quite confident that Bing will continue to exist for many years to come.
What are you paying for when you hire someone? "Someone existential wonderful presence", or "someone ability to do something"?

What about having a decent base salary, and a bonus of extra millions if your results align with the organization goals?
Yes, that is legal. But what matters is control of the board and how the structure of the foundation is set up. With six voting board members assuming things like who is the CEO of the company is something that they are allowed to vote on (it normally would be) she could technically be out of there tomorrow. But this is politics, it is not a merit based affair and there is a fair chance that two or more of the board members are beholden to Mitchell and that would protect her from any attempt to oust her.
Without knowing the details, it's hard to say the execs are failures. They could be doing a good job, given the rough hand they've been dealt.
The bucks aren't trickling down from the execs to the workers
Those are orthogonal to each other. Lack of money is not a problem the US has, we can borrow what we needed and trim fat later. Lack of political will is the problem. If the things you note were truly considered as problematic as you (rightly, in my opinion) view them by politicians and the public, then petty grievances would be put aside and progress would be made.

Not enough of the public truly cares, and that in turn lets politicians ignore them or use them as pieces on a chessboard to be moved about and sacrificed as needed.
At least where I work, every team can essentially decide what they do, as long as they follow a few basic guidelines. So newer projects usually have centralised logging and automated deployments. But sadly there’s still a wall between development environments and production, for good reason I think. Not everyone should have access to production data, so only a limited amount of people have access. Data is of course anonymised when send over.

But yeah, some legacy systems could be 5 years old, and that’s a long time in tech.

You’re right on the visibility part, but sadly that’s an organisational issue, you need higher ups to change this.
If a lot of people like you stop supporting it because it lacks accessibility, it might not become big enough to have the resources to implement accessibility.

Chicken and egg thing.
You do not want lawyers on the government payroll. That would destroy their ability to fight for citizens against the State.
So your argument is that CEO performance should be irrelevant to pay? Are you an executive compensation consultant by any chance?
Brave (which is led by Br. E. who was fired from Mozilla) is privacy oriented.
It's not just the leadership at Firefox. FF has been hijacked by a bunch of people who have no interest in the browser and sucked it dry while it went down. Sad for the people at Mozilla who cared about the browser and wrote the code.

As an FF user I hope Mozilla does a turn around, gets back its engineering culture and focuses on delivering the best - and most secure and private - browser in the market.

For a more interesting graph, you could make a combination of the last graph and an overlay with filename or filetype for each section of the curve. For example colored by filetype.
Any polling to back that up? You'd be surprised
I feel it as it is the other way round, society is infantilizing men and demonizing women....
I mostly worked with safety-critical software on avionics and lately with software on medical device so I hope I do understand.

Rather than downplaying the role of software, my point was on pointing out that meteorologists and medical doctors are specialist roles requiring years of focused training. These aren't one of many hats that can be worn by a generalist.
Why wouldn't you need a CEO? Manage $1B by committee?
Nobody was talking about Android.

And the number of people still on 12 is significant.
beautifully written. Indeed my problem is the contrary to the one in the article "How to say yes, for people closed in themselves who always say no."
> someone who is well versed in technology instead of in law.

Well, this person already existed. It was Brendan Eich.
You can also use something like gzthermal [1] (also available online [2]) to visualize smaller archives.

That's insane:

Title:Chief Executive Officer , Director

Revenue:$56,950,972

~1/7 of the revenue of charity goes to CEO's pay? Is that even legal?
World Health Assembly closes with concern over new global health threat (2013)
Mozilla Inc is not a non-profit. The parent organization is.
>>"It is interesting to note that Brendan Eich's severance pay when he was forced out of Mozilla was just $113,000"

He was 11 days on the job, so, not so bad.
If I read the “Appointment to CEO, controversy and resignation” section[1] of Brendan Eich's Wikipedia page then it appears he was cancelled:

- employees publicly speak out, telling him to resign
- widespread media reporting
- an online campaign to have him removed starts
- “online dating site OkCupid automatically displaying a message to Firefox users with information about Eich's donation, and suggesting that users switch to a different browser”
- “CREDO Mobile collected more than 50,000 signatures demanding that Eich resign”
- Eich resigns

I'm not sure how that could be anything other than part of cancel culture, other than it being ahead of the current trend by a few years.

Calico for Windows goes open source
What triggered this exodus? It's not like firefox is bad or worse in any way. I don't think there is a killer Chrome feature everyone wants either. Or is it just the result of the market share of mobile vs desktop?
Note also that the quoted source is an editorial, not a news article.

shift-shift is the 42 of intellij editors, open files, rename things, import ordering, search class/function/method definition etc etc.

"shift-shift open" to open projects.
next time it will probably be "shift-shift o"
It also displays the actual shortcut.

Integrated terminal (and all other cases) switch focus to the editor: escape.

For all other cases: you are probably aware that you can change shortcuts. For example to vim shortcuts. Not 100% the same but still. And yes, switching editors take some time get used to.

(I love pycharm, i like VScode for small projects, dont like the un-integrated mess of for example spell check correcting function names?)

Here's WHO in 2013 giving a very clear warning about coronaviruses. Then they were talking about MERS.

> Addressing participants at the closing ceremony, WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan thanked delegates for their efficiency and productivity during the debates. At the same time, she sounded an alarm on a new threat that she warned requires urgent international attention.

> “Looking at the overall global situation, my greatest concern right now is the novel coronavirus. We understand too little about this virus when viewed against the magnitude of its potential threat. Any new disease that is emerging faster than our understanding is never under control,” Dr Chan said. “These are alarm bells and we must respond. The novel coronavirus is not a problem that any single affected country can keep to itself or manage all by itself. The novel coronavirus is a threat to the entire world.”
It's much worse in neighboring countries like Malaysia. There maids are usually not allowed to leave the house unaccompanied because of the strict immigration laws that would punish heavily the family if the maid ran away.

Between that and the poor living conditions, it's indentured servitude for the time of their contracts. Absolutely awful.

HK is doing much better and has stronger laws to protect domestic workers (actual day off, etc...), Singapore is catching up but in other countries it's extremely sad.
Mozilla corporation is owned by a non profit. Having a sizeable endowment is hard, but that sweet sweet google money has totaled over a billion dollars so its not like they didn't have the opportunity.
These statistics are fairly useless without knowing how much these creators/publishers are making by signing up. If the median income is close to 0, then what's the point.

Wow, it's never occurred to me anyone would pronounce that much differently (Am/Can pronunciation of 'r' in 'er's aside)! UK is 'soll-duh', or I suppose 'sohl-duh', but certainly sounding the 'l'.

Wiktionary suggests Canada generally follows the pronunciation your familiar with.
This is more a problem of man-time/funding than willingness.
Yes, but you do not want to have to rely on this as a producer.
The whole "need to fight native with the web tech" thing is flawed.
I am not sure where that idea came from, but it does no good for anyone.
I agree, I dont think this CEO is special. His argument is flawed on that premise alone. I think they should pull an MS and promote the CIO or a lead engineer.
There are now adblocker ("Content Blocker") apps for mobile Safari, iOS provides an API for that. No other extensions though.
That's because Tesla are massively overvalued relative to what they will most likely achieve. Tesla are not the largest car manufacturer at all - Tesla's market cap is hugely bigger than ford's, but ford's yearly revenue is only a bit smaller than Tesla's market cap
It's because nothing of great interest happened. Battery Day is about Musk attempting to lay claim to batteries in terms of attention, in the style of eg Alibaba Singles Day. Maybe future battery days will interesting, that's not what this one was about, this one was an initial attention land grab. The EV industry will grow rapidly and the focus of attention will splinter off from Tesla in the coming years. Tesla will be a comparatively smaller minority part of the industry, rather than its present large center. Musk knows that, so he's going to try to claim as much central real-estate as possible before that happens. Events like Battery Day are simply meant to keep the attention on Tesla, to capture mindshare.
I'd say Telegram is probably the "nicest" app I've used for messaging. WhatsApp and Messenger are Ok. Signal, whilst being idealistically the best, is spartan, kinda ugly, and lacks many features that make messaging "fun".
Are you saying that "so many" men were accidentally raping as there was no implicit consent? That's ridiculous. As the article alludes, sex is not a scary and horrible minefield, and the idea of consent shouldn't be overused and watered down to apply to every difficult situation.

You're describing power within an industry, not our culture. You are for no reason attributing the action of a few to many. Which is sexist.
Well, a child gets to know about his caste first time either from his parents or from the people in the environment he grows up into. In my case I faced reverse casteism, a Brahmin (that's what I've been tagged) rejected by a girl (Rajput -Kshatriya) after she asked me my caste, following a 3 month relationship. Not because she didn't love me, but because of the difficulties that arise due to inter-caste marriages. But after a relationship of 10 years, we finally got married. In those 10 years things had changed in society and inter-caste marriages became more acceptable. So, this casteism is both ways...But again could be karma for me or of my forefathers...Doesn't matter
I agree with most of this, however I think graphic design and some marketing is still very important. In fact, now more than ever they need that. Engineering should still be the primary focus, though.
Perhaps mind-blowing for you, reenactment rituals were a part of human culture since time immemorial
But will still be using Chrome, instead of Firefox.
I think this article confuses so much I can't really start to peel it apart. The number of dog whistles per paragraph is astonishing.

I can begin by questioning the idea that a "ruined woman" still exists in our society. I married twice and never expected a virgin in either case. I married intelligent and interesting women and I'm much better and richer for that. I wasn't a virgin either, so it'd be unfair to demand that anyway.

Between marriages I noticed the vast power I could have over younger less experienced people. Of course I could manipulate them - I was the experienced and interesting person myself.

And then I realized I was once as naïve as they were and the fact I was a man didn't protect me from being manipulated by others smarter and more experienced than me who got away with what they wanted. Don't get me wrong - I had a lot of fun, but, still, it did hurt and it was wrong to be manipulated.

It's unacceptable to drive a car recklessly without care for pedestrians or other drivers the same way it's unacceptable to have sex recklessly without care for the consequences to others. And, yes, that includes casual sex that's more casual for one of the partners.
the money they burned could have bought whatsapp and instagram.
Microsoft's share price didn't go up much because they paid out large dividends. If you look at total return people who owned shares in Microsoft did very well.

(If you look at a company's share price, you will see a drop roughly equivalent to the dividend per share each time dividends are paid.)
Linked to perfectionism, I think the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) plays an deterring role in half-arsing things. By reading a book from cover to cover, you have access to all the information available. By skipping chapters, you risk missing important information that (you think) could change your life.

To counter this fear, it's a good exercise to express your expectations about the book and to judge what it can bring to you: is it really life-changing ? Or would you just want it to be ?

In my opinion, it demands greater reading/evaluation skills to be able to skip pages to extract the most data, and a good resistance to FOMO.
Much problems arise from hypocritical double standards of the elite, like Trump and his cult, but also for much of leadership in corporate they've gotten away with too much.
If people can stop expecting special treatment and double standards, we have a fighting chance to address higher existential issues.
Relevant lesson from the best teachers you could have for New York slang[1];-) It's the Beastie Boys teaching their Japanese interviewer how to say: "Lemme have a slice of pizza.". It's a funny and entertaining interview despite the interviewer being a bit cringe-worthy. In my opinion the interview is also worth watching, because it's a good lesson for how you treat a dialog partner that is nervous and overwhelmed in a respectful way.

Thinking of music and NYC also Kenny Gioia comes to mind. After having watched tons of his Reaper instructional videos I think I dreamt in a thick New York accent;-)

I feel similarly confused by the article. It seems more focused on criticizing sexual education and suggesting alternative approaches, and breaking down old stereotypes and mentalities. And that part I thought was good and I could agree with. But the parts about #MeToo and consent seem to just brush over real sexual violence and abuse that spurred those movements and ideas in the first place.

Maybe if you hang out in the twitter sphere you get a distorted view, but some of the real implications around consent are things like: It's not consensual if one person is blacked out drunk.

I mean just read one of the brochure like this one: https://mcckc.edu/images/ac/counseling/whatisconsent.jpg

Now go back to the article, and where is the part discussing: "Consent cannot be given through physical violence or threat"

The problem is, how are we even at a place where a brochure on consent needs an entire section to explain this? That's what the MeToo movement at least from my impression was about, it's like, hey reality check, more women then you know experience really ridiculous abuse, and we're not talking about their boyfriend cheating on them.
