For the record, I'm a pro-CCP Chinese who turned from a CCP hater. I hated it because I was young, saw some bad things happened in the past, and read too much biased, anti-CCP opinions.

I've become an advocate of CCP after I learned some history, after having a deeper and broader understanding of all the things, after seeing what happened in the past ten, especially in the past 2 years, and so on.

You can check my HN profile and can easily tell that I'm not pretend to be, but is actually independent of CCP.

My father is a member of CCP though. Before my age of 30 or so, the one thing that I do the most when I'm home is to argue with him about the badness of CCP.

I'm older now, and it turned out that he's opinion was right, although he wasn't able to convince me - I came to my conclusion on my own, by self-thinking, reading, and observing.

I'm not saying that CCP is perfect, I still hate the Great firewall, but it's a complex issue that I'm not going to expand on it here.

Anyone who's with an open mind and is curious about my change (I know a lot of people changed like me), feel free to ask any question.
Try the very latest release (81). I wrote earlier[0] that FF79 was too slow to start, buggy on tab switches, and missing most recent sites on the new tab. That's all been fixed as of FF81 as far as I can see.

I also really like the new swipe-url-to-switch-tabs feature =D

Virtual HLF 2020 – Talk: Alan Kay
It sounds like you're arguing that Mozilla could attract a more competent CEO while paying them much less.

How?

Who?

Would you find someone who hasn't previously run a large, innovative tech org? How would you determine that they'd be good at this job? (Remember, switching costs for CEOs is high).
Though correct, that doesn't improve the situation OP is in - the one we are all in: we want to fund Firefox directly, not some side project and we simply cannot.

> I'm not aware of anything in this thread that has anything to do with race and yet that's the first word in the triumphant trio of your counters.

They tend to go together. I'll be happy to bet that a large fraction of the Eich defenders in this thread are just using him as a proxy because they sympathize with his viewpoints, and that you will find a disproportionally large overlap with the other viewpoints mentioned above.
Louisiana politics has been corrupt for the entirety of the lifetime of anyone who is alive. That it has become a bipartisan effort is not shocking.
That comment doesn't contradict the post at all. If anything it supports that statement and then goes on to mentions that high latency connections are problematic.
Yes, if history is any indicator, this seems quite likely. Unfortunately, by that point, it will be too late.
Interesting idea, I wonder if any sites do this.
If a third of the world becomes uninhabitable within the space of 3-4 decades, expect the remaining parts to also feel it.
> You borrow. Debt is good as long as you pay it off

I think this is where software and other sectors come together to demonstrate why something that seems good ends up evil.

What is to stop someone from borrowing slightly further beyond their means than you? What does that mean for the market? Housing is unaffordable, turning us into slaves and also in a wired crisis, software is either free, vaporware or impossible to discover under all the vapourware and the website needed to compete with vaporware..

Without standards, ratings, limits, strong unions and trade associations, everything becomes a market for lemons since someone will take the risk of faking it all when the penalties are only partial revocation of the profits.
Proposition 8 just confirmed 1000s maybe 10s of 1000s of years of conventional thinking about marriage. If that's "viciously" anything, you're going to have to get used to some degree of viciousness. Gay marriage is quite an anomaly.

There's no way this was an honest mistake. Why schedule maintenance on the exact day you expect a lot of voters to want to use the site?
Have you finished grinding that axe yet?
I would hope the users of a system designed to predict the weather are actual meteorologists.
I like how snappy it is, but it seems like you have a very narrow and short coverage. Most of the words I searched had no results, or only a couple. Also, seems like for multiple terms you display a union of the results, while I would expect it to be an intersection.

There's an option to restore its rightful position at the top.

The obvious example is misgendering and the whole Jordan Peterson debacle comes to mind.

>We're telling you, if you act like an asshole other people might not like it and that's fair.

Trust me abrasive people understand this, some of them get off on it.

>And that you can get fired for being an asshole.

I agree if you're an asshole it is grounds for firing. I've worked with some real abusive dickheads before who should have been fired. The difficulty is in judging what is crossing the line. I've worked at places where people should have been fired (constant abusive sex jokes) and weren't because they held too much power. I've also worked at places where you could get fired for publicly having conservative opinions and where you were constantly walking on eggshells. It's a real tyrany in both cases but I don't see an obvious solution.
A joke, an attempt at humour.

It is not insider information.

40% wants to destroy democracy, always demonizes the 60% as sub-human violent scum, and has been stockpiling guns and ammo for decades. And the 40% has violent fantasies of a Civil War do-over. And is enthusiastically receiving active support from foreign powers who would love to see the country descend into bloody chaos.
I feel like they oversimplified a bit.

There is plenty of evidence of global warming without making it seem mainly about the wildfires. Because certainly record temperatures and wildfires are evidence of global warming, but also a policy of fire supression has contributed. The fact that they didn't mention that and also didn't get into other evidence of global warming in much detail makes me feel that the article might have mainly been designed to manipulate Californians rather than make an honest and comprehensive argument for everyone.
What causality are you implying here? My extended family is all blue collar for the most part and almost all live in the same few small towns. I'm saying, in my blue collar family, the cousins who stayed fit, thin, avoiding alcoholism and smoking look a decade or more younger than those that didn't.
I had to say no to a busy-work position this week.

And I am a people pleaser.

What I did frame it to my manager as saying ‘yes’ to my current work-state, which everyone agreed was going really well. Don’t want to mess up a good thing :)
Marriage as an institution is about 4500 years old. The tax advantages and other advantages conferred on married people are much more recent.

So this was far more about withholding something from a group than it was of granting something to that group.

Either way, on the total age of humanity that is an eyeblink and fortunately we are not above progressing. At least, not all of us.
* CFCs are used in relatively few products. Greenhouse gasses are integral to how we get food, build, make gadgets, move around, and keep the lights on.
* There is considerable cheating on CFCs in China (source: widely reported)
Yes there is some overlap in the groups but they are not the same group.
Yes the index is not that large (both history wise and number of sources) at the moment yet. Also the search is done on the titles (not full search of articles). The result is a union, the idea behind this is to create a personalized search feed (find latest relevant content)

Beautiful. I hope this setup serves you well, and doesn't seem you need kubernetes or any of that overkill complex setup.

Just ship on heroku and you're done.
Global warming it's, not doubt, a serious problem, but I don't think it will be a direct extinction thread to humanity.

On the other hand, global warming, probably will have second order effects that make humanity extinction more probably. For example: it would make nuclear war more probable or investment in space more difficult.
But what is bipartisan about this particular effort?

It's popular to decry corruption and then, in the same breath, say everyone is corrupt so best just lie back and take it.
That is a good question that you should discuss with your tax accountant :)

I don’t know about the specifics of how payment works on patreon, but there are services that help with the tax issue. Quaderno https://www.quaderno.io/ is one that we have used for selling (remote) trainings. It ties into stripe, so that’s fairly simple to set up. Keep in mind that if you have to do the VAT dance, you’ll most likely need to provide the customer with a suitable receipt as well, so you’ll have to own that part of the checkout process.

Also consider that the VAT rules are less complicated for physical goods - the complicated ruleset mostly applies to digital-only goods. Things may also be less complicated if you’re a private person and use patreon as support for a hobby.
Is that common in the US? Because here in Sweden it is regarded as bad practice for medium sized companies and up. The CEO is almost never part of the board here except for in tiny companies.
How to Start Freelance Technical Writing and Get Paid Well in 6 Steps
What do you imagine a treasury employee does all day, sits in a locked room and counts coins without any connection to the outside world? These are the people that are directing monetary policies that affect people's lives, well being and equity. Without an opinion on CRT itself, which I don't know much about, I think learning from any side about how those lives are affected, and the history of the country, is exactly what well informed government official should be doing.

It like telling a programmer they should only ever have a terminal and a code editor open, and ban using a browser during office hours.
I would argue that lead and asbestos were regulated well before the general public was pushing for the regulation. (And lead’s effects are generally not fatal effects.) Ethanol in auto fuel is another example where the general public definitely didn’t want that outcome (and it’s not even clear to me today the balance between farm subsidy and climate aid on ethanol.)
China is reducing now because it had lots of low hanging fruit, but it is still problematic
This would be right choice of action for medievil countries like the USA, Russia or China.

But modern society which went through enlightenment already came up with different choices to treat such criminals. They all followed Venezuela as first enlightened country worldwide which abolished the death sentence for criminals.

We all can see that falling back to the middle ages has enormous financial benefits, that the rule of law is much less important than the rule of accusations and propaganda, but some people still believe in more modern philosophies. So no, we should not.
Both good and bad. In some cases, the boss was right, and I was wrong (always a good idea to tell the boss they were right). In other cases, I was right, and the boss was wrong (seldom a good idea to tell the boss they were wrong).

Human relationships, as another commenter pointed out, are the real meat in life, and tend to present the biggest challenges. My self-discipline and self-awareness have almost nothing to do with my career, but are the result of a lifetime of personal self-development. Long, boring story.

Hey colleague! Of course whatever was used to make those images disappeared some 10 years ago. And the actual mint images are already gone from an earlier disk-crash. THESE images are actually made from systems that have been running at a customer site for years and years.

I’ve switched to VS Code from Sublime and IntelliJ. Then it become so slow on a recent MacBook Pro that I finally switched to NeoVIM for editing any file of any programming language a year ago. I’m rediscovering keyboard shortcuts and custom macros. Couldn’t be happier.

Still, VS Code was a great inspiration to me. It felt much more light-weight than IntelliJ and features were superior to Sublime.
Currently all the inflation is being concentrated in real estate prices.

If that starts spilling over into auto (with low interest loans, etc.) or consumer goods, we could see it increase.

The Fed just alluded to being okay with inflation above 2% for a few years if the weighted average was below 2% due to years like these.
> It manages to be much faster than most dynamic languages ... It would be unfair to compare the performance of Rust and Haskell, because Haskell is optimized for things other than performance.

Hmm...

Option and Result are Monads. Surely he misses do-notation.

Here are the officially stated Rust influences: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html

To say that Rust is a child of Haskell is really overstating the case.
I've broadly agreed with you in this thread, mostly, but I have to say that last year one of the interview questions I was asked in a Mozilla interview was "What are you personally doing to encourage diversity?"

I felt that that was just a bit hamfisted. All my adult life I've been a feminist [insomuch as a man can be one] and supported this cause. But I had no idea how to answer that question, or I'm pretty sure my answer wasn't satisfactory to the person asking.
yes, their worst case scenarios weren't bad enough for glaciers melting.
Springboot still has not solved the issue with bad dependencies at runtime being an easy debuggable experience. I still struggle after several years pinpointing where exactly my springboot app crashed, because stack traces are perhaps several hundred lines long in some cases.
This website tracks the compatibility of climate policy with climate goals: https://climateactiontracker.org/ China doesn't appear very serious in this dataset.

Note that the actual implementation often lags behind the policy goals by quite a bit.
Really well-made and easy to use (I'd just change the interface font to proportional). OCR text seems to be without errors beyond the occasional "hyphe- nation." Photos are downloadable in high quality, and they also link to full browseable issues. The dataset cuts off in 1963 though, hopefully it'll expand as more material becomes available in the public domain.

Edit: found some examples of bad OCR too. For example, half of the few results for "Taiwan" are misspellings of another word (the words are actually "Fagan," "Edward," and "Japan").

> $20k. And give him a bonus depending on the companies performance.

How do you define company performance?

For a non-public corporation like Mozilla, you'd have to use a metric like market share. Okay well in the first year, how can you earn enough to pay for your kids college or whatever? You'll have to really get those numbers up _fast_.

Things like this is where we get shitty growth tactics like spamming everyone in your contacts or auto installing and preventing uninstall.

Instead I'd much rather have bold investment in long term growth. Innovative initiatives that may take years to pan out.

Very hard stuff.
The story I heard about these was that during WW2 American GIs stationed in Australia were tricked by the locals into using the leaves as a replacement for toilet paper, with predictably unfortunate results.

It's more like 10-80-10.

You've got some small minority of people on both sides who want complete control as a means to their own ends and then the 80% in the middle who don't really care that much and will ally with either side depending on the other specifics of the situation.

I'm pulling the numbers out of my ass but pretty much every contentious issue breaks down this way. Most people mostly don't care about most things until you start getting really extreme.
Sulphur dioxide emissions have improved a lot too. Acid rain is no longer an issue afaik.

Reading "No more Mr. Nice Guy" was like someone peering into my brain and describing it. I'm cautious in taking the psychological explanations for granted, but the behaviors themselves were scarily accurate.
Yeah when you have to consider different languages things get complex. English would be "0 results", "1 result", "N results", etc.

It might be that a simple FAQ is a tough-sell, but I can imagine people paying for more complex knowledge-base style of tool. (Of course that's just a guess)
What an odd comparison.

Is the teaching of phrenology banned? By executive order or Congressional law?

Not that I'm aware of, but hey, I can be wrong.

By comparison, critical race theory is currently taught at some schools. Eg, https://law.ucla.edu/academics/centers/critical-race-studies , "Led by renowned scholars who have influenced law and policy for decades, UCLA Law’s Critical Race Studies Program is the premier setting for studying the intersection of race and the law."

Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory points out:

> By 2002, over 20 American law schools, and at least 3 law schools in other countries, offered critical race theory courses or classes which covered the issue centrally.[7] In addition to law, critical race theory is taught and innovated in the fields of education, political science, women's studies, ethnic studies, communication, sociology, and American studies.[8] Important scholars to the theory include Derrick Bell, Patricia Williams, Richard Delgado, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, Camara Phyllis Jones, and Mari Matsuda.

Personally, I think evolutionary psychology is a load of crap about equal to phrenology - why not defund those departments too?
I find sometimes duplicated code is from a business domain quite separate from another, yet intellij wants to bring them together. Sure, one day I will get my shit together on that duplicated code and fix the issue, but sometimes the hassle is not worth the hours put in to refactor. Nice that intellij lets you know though.

Hyperscan has a normal pattern matching compiler, as most regex engines. Of course you can interpret a pattern on the fly, but most matchers take the additional compilation step.

That's interesting! Never thought that the meaning of the two dots should affect the sort order and that it is not possible to represent with Unicode.

If there are previous examples of the two rendered differently, I think that makes a pretty good case for extending Unicode.
Good point.
I feel articles such as these might have a role on HN if they can lead to some clever people seeing some meaningful problems to work on.
Yeah, well I did not say whose fault is it, or how it should be structured, I just point merely that is not working well.

I'm not economist, this is above my knowledge, but there has to be a better way of doing this.

While some of the larger UGC platforms do use VP9 for live streaming, it is only for a limited subset of high concurrent viewer streams, and yes, in many cases those aren't running the encodes on commodity hardware.

As for AV1, there really aren't any live implementations ready right now, a few have been demo'd, but I'm not aware of any deployments today.

Sometimes an organization needs the detail oriented folk to spend a month crafting bylaws. This can help prevent organizational disaster when a new ‘leader’ arrives and spins the steering wheel wildly.
"Destroy democracy" just sounds too abstract to make it scary.

The however many % want their team to be in charge so they can rule the country to their liking, to overuse the f-word, a fascist state where police have impunity to do whatever they want. Or maybe call it a Mafia state, with the police, DHS and ICE being the henchmen, where someone can destroy a nature conservation area for oil, as long as he contributes to the senator's "reelection campaign" funds. Hah it's even okay to give Supreme Court justices weekend getaways, or to have their wife be a lobbyist.

Imagine having an army where, yeah, a high percentage is trying to sabotage the mission, even to their own detriment. Was the US ever a shining beacon of democracy, or was that all just a fairy tale?
