Community and ecosystem mostly. Maybe it's changed a lot since version 3 but I don't see much uptake. I had enough issues that a rewrite of my API in Typescript was faster than upgrading to 4 when it came out.

Is the Google funding enough to maintain the browser development (and participation in web standards) of Mozilla?

It has always seemed like it should be.

That focus could be a welcome simplicity to this.

Long term you don't want a single donor, but this very simple mission then makes it easier to broaden that base of donations.
Overrated for what? To get market dominance? Or to develop technological breakthroughs? I think the answer depends on the question.

I think it takes skill to create a message for investors so that they can feel good.
I'm really not a big fan of Google's tracking-friendly browser. However, I hate Mozilla's hypocrisy even more, trying to act like the defendants of privacy, but dependent on mis-aligned cash.

In the end, I chose Chrome as a protest against this hypocrisy.
It's pretty simple - for regular users Chrome is faster, has more features, uses less power, and has better website support. It is also aggressively marketed by the largest advertising company on the planet.

It wasn't always this way. For example, FF beat Chrome in battery life until a few years ago, and FF extensions used to be superior in functionality Chrome extensions. Chrome eventually caught up in the few areas they were seriously lagging in, or Firefox shot itself in the foot trying to morph itself into a copy of Chrome (eg. multiprocess architecture, WebExtensions).

Today there is little reason to use any browser other than Chrome / Chromium or Safari (which is still superior on Mac / iOS in a few aspects).

Given that the age group they are looking are already well in their 70s, they might not be heavy internet users. It's hard to tell from these studies that internet had any effect to their health.

In fact, I think we have to wait another ~30 years to see when first internet natives become 70 year olds if it has any effect.
Did MS give up on fixing VS bugs and just went 180? Or did they plan VSCode to replace VS but then discovered it would be too much work?
With her doubtful record of success, it is questionable that the CEO really could find a higher paying job elsewhere.

And Mozilla's poor track record suggests that if Mozilla insists on paying the same CEO salary, they might do well to find a different CEO to give it to.

I think the point is less that this CEO should take a pay cut — although she probably should — but more that the mediocrity + layoffs + exorbitant-CEO-salary situation here reeks of self-dealing.
I spent some time in Singapore. A thing I noticed is that if you stay long enough after dinner, you can see a lot of buses loading people in the city alleys and then slowly moving out from the city. When I asked I was told that these are most of the city employees going back home in Malaysia. It was late, and I imagined that these people may sleep just a couple of hours before coming back for the opening the shops in the morning.

In the meantime there were at least 3 Ferraris and a couple of Lamborghinis going back and forth over Orchard road.
I see this argument a lot, I grew up in such an environment. But being moral is really not a luxury because there are several very rich people who are immoral. Being moral is easy or hard depending upon your means, but so is everything else. At the end of the day you have to think about what you are doing and you and solely you are responsible for this.

Also this whole argument is distracting from the fact that this is TrustArc we are talking about. Its an american company with 340 employees and over 20 million american dollars in annual revenue. When a company out of India does this same thing we can argue impact of means on morality then.
I had the opposite experience. Used Chromium for as long as I could remember, then it started becoming too slow and memory-hungry. I switched to Firefox and it's been so much better! It's super fast and uses way less memory. The only thing Firefox is truly a lot slower on my computer is the startup. But the only case in which I start Firefox is after updates, otherwise it's always running.

I'm running Firefox on ArchLinux with the 5.8 kernel and an Intel motherboard with integrated graphics.
I am not commenting on Baker, I am commenting on you commenting on Baker. Whether or not she should take a pay cut is not the question, although personally I would say that it would be good if she did even if only for optics at this point. My issue is the one where you claim she is unfit to lead because she is non-technical in your eyes: again, this is not a requirement to be a good CEO.
The quote in context is available here: https://answers.thenextweb.com/s/mitchell-baker-aGY62z

Let's assume good faith and that executive pay in general at Mozilla was not competitive.

That would be similar to a company noticing that it has been underpaying software engineers and then choosing to bump up compensation significantly.

A question that raises is: do executives (and software engineers?) bring the value that is associated with those pay grades, given that they seem increasingly detached from other roles?

I don't know - are many people here on HN familiar enough with executive-level strategy, connections and work practices to discuss whether that value is justified?

In honesty I believe that some executives are probably capable of using their personal networks to bring on-board significant expertise, industry influence, negotiating power and other talents (such as, frankly, the ability to dominate conversations and sway opinions, for better or worse - as long as it doesn't hurt the company) that are typically hard to quantify or certificate.

If the tech industry continues consolidating into a smaller number of more important companies then it seems understandable that those influence and network effects become more important in order to stay competitive.

I'm not sure if that's fair - those might not be the kind of skills that can necessarily be learned; I'd argue they're frequently side-effects of people's upbringing, social networks, and psychological profiles (including some dark/problematic personality types). But it explains the realpolitik of the situation without demonizing individual decision-makers for what may be rational choices in the environment.
How do you see a browser with less than ten percent market share as being able to influence web standards now?

That ship has already sailed.

Yeah but he wasn't woke enough so they got rid of a capable CEO.

"Get woke go broke" Mozilla.

Sorry if I sound bitter, but I love Firefox and hate to see it loosing users.
The masses....? I think you've lost it a bit here.
Just some background on Firefox, search revenue and the Mozilla CEO:

- the (old) rule of thumb is that each point (1%) of search market share is worth $1 billion per year to an ad serving company. That's why Mozilla's Google contract is so lucrative, and why they need to fight for market share.

- publishing a current browser on desktop and mobile is incredibly rare and valuable to the world, despite profitability, but also expensive to maintain.

Opera was bought by a Chinese group for $600 million for that reason:

https://www.engadget.com/2016-07-18-opera-browser-sold-to-a-...

- I've used Firefox as my daily browser since 2000 (It was named something else back then, maybe SeaMonkey) when I worked at Netscape (I say next to Mike Homer.) It has always worked well, unless you're a partisan Google fanboy, and the Firefox developer tools options are fine for vanilla-js work. Try it out.

- Mitchell Baker was a very early non-engineering employee of Netscape. She's a lawyer.

- I met Mitchell Baker at one of the early O'Reilly Open Source conferences (between 2000 and 2006). She was making $500,000/year then, now it's $2.4 million. Based on the current market share and failure of many Mozilla subprojects, I think she is important to Mozilla for legal/governance/continuity/Google negotiation projects, but other people should be doing the business/marketing and tech leadership, if available.

- what killed Netscape was a failure of imagination in the end. I talked to some managers, and their belief was that 2,000 employees couldn't be paid after the browser was free.

But that was myopic since Netscape had the people to move into early ecommerce, content, search, video ... you name it. (Early Yahoo servers were actually hosted in a Netscape rack at a time when bandwidth was a prohibitve $1000/Mbps. In fact part of the reason AOL bought Netscape was because their respective bandwidth loads were complementary.)

I'm a FP3 and /e/ user for about half a year now. And well, it works for me but frankly there are some issues. Nothing I'm not willing to take, but it's different to the premium android device with google services before.
The Appstore provides some apps. But not all of them and some are quite outdated. They seem to get their APKs from https://info.cleanapk.org/. Some apps just don't work or stop reacting to touches. But this can be an Issue with the missing Google Services.
The FP3 is a decent phone. It does its job well images are ok (old camera) focus and stabilization are not as good as flagship phones. The fingerprint reader is pretty unreliable. It usually needs some tries...
However, its repairable, the price is fair for what you get, they try to be sustainable, there is /e/-os and lineage available. That's the main reason I bought it: I expect to use it as long as I want and not only as log as the manufacturer publishes the patches.
Anyone can be anything. But as a rule, most software developers are masters of strictly one profession, if any.
If you use DDG with Firefox does that mean that the Mozilla pay for search goes down?

You mention dog whistles. I know the concept but I obviously can't read the subtext. Can you elaborate?
So go range or STAR. The appeal of approval over these is the simplicity while maintaining most properties. I prefer STAR then range then approval. But these are all very close. There's a bigger gap to Condorcet (a class of ranked systems), then big gap to IRV (RCV), then a small gap to FPTP/plurality.

There's a lot more to this than than just these simple options. I suggest you look more into the subject before forming strong opinions. The subject is highly complicated and there is no global optima. There's a lot more to be concerned about besides VSE and solving the spoiler effect (which IRV/RCV doesn't do btw).

Ranked doesn't actually perfectly map. Consider the case where you like two candidates equally? You can't express this with ordinal systems, but you can with cardinal. There are plenty of non-binary selection systems in cardinal votings that allow for more expressiveness. The thing is that this expressiveness doesn't get you much while it adds complexity (granted, not much). But cardinal systems are also fairly resistant to strategic voting (one of those factors that matters).
My opinion for the last few years has been that firefox is a total shitshow. There's no innovation in usability whatsoever. All it does is open websites and if you want anything fancy beyond that you'll have to get an extension.

Chrome already does this and markets itself as just doing it better while firefox kinda just passively takes it. Normal users don't read nerdy tech blogs explaining why the latest under-the-hood improvement is cool and improves performance by 0.3% on average.

Just look at vivaldi for a good example of how to do things right: Don't bother convincing people that you're "faster" than chrome and instead spend that time on building actual features.

What does firefox do that chrome doesn't? Vivaldi has tab groups, tiling, full-page screenshots, an option to hibernate background tabs, etc. etc. etc. and even then it struggles to compete with chrome. How the hell would firefox manage without any of those distinguishing features?

Burda is behind the Clix browser which brands itself as a privacy respecting Chrome/Firefox alternative but is outright spyware in my opinion. There have been a few threads about this on HN in the past.

Another example is Xing which is a surprisingly popular LinkedIn clone that copies many of the dark patters of the original.

From my perspective, I find it hard to approach without addressing the monopoly role the state plays in dispensing justice. Maybe others can add their thoughts about how to reform the current system towards these ends.

That said, a privatized law system could potentially provide greater competition and lower costs overall.

I agree with you, but isn't the problem more that they're sinking the ship? To take it to the extreme, if I joined a fortune 50 company as the CEO, and started losing billions a year with my decisions, should the board pay me more because I've created a risk to my reputation?
"(He fixed the walls and replaced the monitor.)"

Depending on where this happened it might be illegal. Employees spending personal money on business stuff (without expensing them) is a big no-no. You might need to consult a lawyer to find out if you're now exposed to legal action - especially if you fire him.
Waiting only makes the situation worse. Medicare for all could be anything from a significant net savings to an insane increase depending on how it’s implemented. Kicking the can down the road just means larger debt payments in the future.

Consider, getting a few stitches is usually more expensive than a dental filling even though it’s simpler, faster, etc. The difference is simply the amount of waste involved. Trimming the fat is difficult because that’s people’s income you’re cutting and they will fight you every step of the way.

> but their ideas haven't worked.

What ideas though?
I don’t really get this. If there’s a contract that crosses service boundaries, surely the system that is being changed needs to have encoded that somewhere and not simply leave it to being a side-effect of other code.

In our API for example we have an explicit set of (what we call) presentable attributes, an explicit mapping between our internal naming of properties to the external attributes that are presented publicly.

This allows us to maintain the external contract whilst the internal structure may change wildly. Furthermore, with a generally simple set of unit tests, we can catch scenarios that might be cause for failures before any such changes go to production.

Adding this extra layer of diffing feels like unnecessary complexity and if you end up using a proxy to catch responses, potentially even an extra source of data leakage and exploitation.

How is it different from something like say job fair/college placements? If both the maid and the employee agrees to go forward and have choice in that matter, I can't see your reasoning of it being inhuman. I am just seeing that the mall provide a dense contact point in which both the employees and maids can get in contact with the opposite side.

If leadership does not care about the well being of the organization, that is a fireable offense. I mean, it's the entire purpose of the role.
Rust actually has a type like this in addition to a bottom type (which is !). It is the Infallible type which is an enum type (a sum type) with no variants and is thus not constructible. It's purpose is to indicate that an operation always succeeds when that operation returns a Result type. But defining it that way, the compiler can use this information to remove error checks. While it doesn't implement every trait automatically, I found it to be pretty easy to implement every trait I cared about since the it just had to typecheck and not do anything useful.

I think it is because some of men who used implied threat of physical violence pretended they are completely unaware of what was going on. And that was treated as serious argument. See, they were just poor naive beings unaware of the situation (despite being highly charizmatic and fully socially aware in other situations).

So, everyone is getting that brochure now.

You are for no reason attributing the action of a few to many.

The point is that it isn't a few men. If you listen to women most of them have accounts of how they've been harassed in some way. A recent (2018) survey[1] found that 81% of women had experienced verbal sexual harassment, and 27% reported physical sexual assault. That is not "a few" men giving the rest a bad name. Also it is not sexist to point it out.

Absolutely agree with the remote SSH being a game changer - it is seamless and works amazingly well.

Since the start of lockdown I've been using it to remote edit from my laptop into my dekstop still at the office and it has been a flawless experience.

I don't get the feeling you can fix this through voting with your wallet. Markets don't seem to solve these kinds of issues, on the contrary, this seems to be a negative side-effect of their core nature, that all decisions come down to profit maximization.
