So maybe the creeper was on a video call looking at the caller's face, while driving? Nope. There's no excuse for that creepy behavior.
Hypothesis: this will always be true. Standards compliance doesn't guarantee implementation compatibility (because the standards basically never include implementation details or benchmark guarantees), so there will always be cost associated with full browser compatibility in the margins of feature interaction (especially for complicated sites).

If the Chrome hegemony breaks down, another hegemony will take its place.
Not included there, but alcohol and drug use can cause it as well.
Almost always the sites that don't work in Firefox tend to do things in Chrome specific ways.

The same happened in Norway on a governmental page a couple of years ago. It then was a memcache problem that made other people see one persons tax report.

It also happened a couple of days ago again. The cause is not known:

Interesting. I would have thought the intersection between power users and paying users would be very high and they would be worth pandering too if their requirements where general enough to applicable to other power/paying users.

Package managers do not claim sandbox. No claim - no false claim - no accusation.

And it is easy to fix - publish capabilities in the gallery. Apple iOS "request location" shows that people care if they know. Sandbox certainly is a good thing. Without it Flatpak is just another package manager.
Any idea if the issue in BFI's website is the site or Firefox's implementation of the standard?
I have something like that right now (started exactly week ago), I can't smell or taste and I can easily breath through the nose, but I also feel some pressure, like it would be a little bit swollen inside. It's cold outside and breating through the nose is mildly painful when I go out. Looks more like sinus infection without typical symptoms. I wonder if you felt it like that or the loss of smell was the only indicator of illness.
I've worn both product and developer hats, and honestly the way I see it is: You need to decide whether you are building tools or toys. Neither is bad, but you should decide on one and stick to it for the product. You can make money building tools and you can make money building toys. But you're going to turn away customers if you first make a tool, then turn it into a toy in the name of "simplify" and "making it sleek".

As a professional user, I bought a $2,000+ workstation. I expect the applications I run on it to be powerful tools, not toys. But, there are also plenty of other people who run apps on $200 mobile devices who are fine with fewer features. Pick one market and go after it.
Or just like not even connect it to the internet at all?
I don't even understand what this is supposed to mean. Every asset allows infinite inflow of capital. If humans wanted, they could trade everything for TSLA, moving it's price to gazzilion dollars per share.

Derivatives are transaction between to parties like any other. One side pays money the other takes money for making certain bet.

The problems I'm aware of with derivaties is that it makes easier for companies to hide their speculative bets off the balance sheet, and it exaggerates overleveraged long-term bets. But it's hardly a root of all evil.
Consider that the US ran out of face masks, and PPEs because it could not import them from China earlier this year. And the US public was without adequate supplies for months. And the government made vague health statements about their benefit, so that the healthcare workers would be rationed enough face masks without the public buying them all out.

I think its a safe bet that people already died because of supply chain disruptions. And this is something as simple to manufacturing as a cloth covering. Imagine a disruption to food supplies.

All it would take is a couple tankers worth of food shipments to be delayed to Oahu, by a month, and people are starving there.
Everything is now "held with bubble gum and shoes string", and "just in time delivery" in this economy. There are no large food storage supplies on Oahu that I am aware of.
That's true. I always use Stock Android.

That's exactly how it works in Flatpak, and you get it for free if you use GTK's FileChooserNative dialog: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk3-GtkFileChooserN...

If your application is inside a sandbox, it communicates with another process that presents the file chooser and hands over permissions based on the user's selection.

It is possible to choose directories in the same way, and portals are always improving: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal.

Plenty of Flatpak applications actually do use this, but the author of this website loves to pick out the ones that don't so he can act like the project is flawed to the core and justify his sensationalist domain name. But actually it is very solvable, it is being solved, and in many cases you can tighten an application's sandbox with a two line diff.

How did you find mentors?
I am hoping to startup soon, and I've come across a lot of advice to find mentors who have done this already, and can help guide.

My questions:
1. how did you meet your mentor and build a relationship with them
2. how has it helped you (or not helped you)
3. if you have not had a mentor, what is your view on this
4. any advice on how I could go about finding a mentor

for context: I'm ~8 years experienced, was heading engineering (~50 members) at a startup till recently. No real sales, marketing experience yet.

"In 1998 the Web Standards Project compiled a list of IE's many CSS failings, including this one. Every browser had CSS bugs, however, so this wasn't particularly bad. They made a similar list for Opera and declined to make a list for Firefox's ancestor Netscape claiming that 'trying to list the important bugs would be an exercise in writing long documents'."

When Should Hacking Be Legal? (2016)
If the platform is the web, but a standards-compliant site can work in Chrome but not Firefox, the issue isn't standards compliance.

And it's up to the individual site author whether retaining that last chunk of Firefox-only (or Edge-only, or Safari-only) users is worth the cash outlay to test on those platforms. I've done multi-browser development; it adds significant friction to the process, especially if one's testing infrastructure is rocky (and most are, and it costs resources to do better than rocky).

I think it might not have been true if Mozilla hadn't been so poorly managed and sent Firefox on quixotic adventures instead of making it a better browser, without constant feature regressions and bugs involving global, privacy-compromising outages:

It's completely plausible that even a modest drop in price or increase in volatility would make it unprofitable for anyone in the US to produce wheat (or other staples). In a free market, they will just stop doing so, and production will drop to near zero.

You're right that imports would make up the difference, but that's where national security comes in. If you rely on importing your food and your trading partners become adversaries or shipping is disrupted due to war, you're screwed.

There are enough copies of Wikipedia that if it has ever been down you could just get the same content elsewhere, so people don't usually make the same fuss about it that they would about AWS/Google/Microsoft.

AWS/Google being down for even a minute or two is a big deal though.
Speaking of which, did Seaborg collect any of the gold atoms he transmuted? Obviously it wouldn't be enough to see, but I imagine that some university museum has a little vial with a chunk of detector in it with a little plate explaining that there are a few million transmuted gold atoms stuck to its surface, or something.

> This is posed as a computational resource problem, but it strikes me as an information problem.

I thought the point of the gas illustration was to show how the assumption there's an information problem (i.e. heat, second law) is actually not correct.

That it only looks like an information problem and it's really a computation problem.

The theory being that if you can compute were the molecules are going to be, from the initial state or from interactions you have already learned from, then the motions don't appear random any more. There are no surprises; you have "decrypted" the apparently random movements.

It's just to illustrate the idea, and an immediate objection would be "but we can't know everything to that much detail".

That is addressed by a more subtle version of the argument, which says: Although you don't know all the motions precisely, your ability to compute motions from the information you obtained so far gives you progressively increasing knowledge about motions locally or which you recognise as related, and causes "regions of effective coherence" to expand. It's effective coherence not actual coherence, because the molecule motions don't change, only the precision with which you can anticipate some of them as well as relationships between them. What would have appeared random, now with the benefit of some prior information and computation resolves gradually into local clusters of more predictable related motions, even if you don't know every motion accurately. With the result that the effective fluid properties change, so your ability to "swim" through the gas changes.

In the 2d closed box model, with perfect balls and perfect interactions (i.e. a mathematically perfect simulation) it's plausible that this may work perfectly. That is, if you have your own "special" ball and it undergoes a number of collisions and you get perfect measurement of those collisions, eventually you end up with enough information to model the contents of the rest of the box. If in that model you can dynamically adjust something about the collisions of your "special" ball, for example changing the ball's shape, mass or radius, it's plausible that can be used to travel anywhere in the box much faster than diffusion, but only if you have the information up to that point and excellent computation - which might be irreducibly hard computation for a reasonably sized box.
I think it's extremely important not to discount the circumstances of individuals. Like you said, they're people too.

But the value in this data is in helping us understand what the root causes are, and what the solutions should be.

> Arbitrarily excluding certain metro areas because "you're a techie and can live anywhere" is just counter to reality, and just seems like a way to skew the numbers.

The goal behind "arbitrarily" analyzing the data per-metro is not to skew the numbers, but to help us understand that the root cause is largely local, rather than a global systemic one. Everyone knows that housing is way more expensive than a median income can afford in San Francisco, but that's a San Francisco problem, not an America problem. It's also one that's generally well understood: they're not building enough housing due to exogenic limits.

I'm talking at the individual level - humans are socially pressured to conform to their field of study current beliefs (in any field). It takes long periods of time for ideas that go against the grain to bubble up to become 'mass conscious' within a field. Especially in areas requiring higher mathematics where practitioners can feel inferior.
C is hard to write properly, easy to compile, and lighter than Rust in the final binary size. Gets slightly complex when you start adding lots of third party libraries to link, but nothing out of the ordinary imo.
My wife was ill earlier during the first wave. She literally gargled TCP (the chemical, not the protocol. Handshakes are illegal.) and couldn't taste it. If you've ever been around this chemical you know how strong it smells, people can smell it across the house. That's when we suspected Covid. Couldn't get a test until months later, and it was negative. But still suspect it.

I have tried couple of them. Then I realised all I needed was some HTML, few lines of CSS, and zero JS and definitely no static site generator.

I'm curious, what does cheaper mean exactly, and how much cheaper is it? Is that cheaper to acquire the inferencing hardware, or cheaper in terms of energy efficiency? Is your inferencing running on servers, or commodity hardware... in the cloud or on user/consumer devices?

I'd agree with the sibling comment; this depends completely on what you are trying to do, and how fast you need to do it. There's nothing wrong with inferencing on a CPU, and I have no doubt it's much cheaper in certain ways, but it's also slower than what you can do on a GPU or custom ASIC, and there are reasons some people need it to go faster. One example that's in wide deployment would be Nvidia's DLSS for video games. It'd be pretty hard to run that in real time at 4k resolution on a CPU.
Or for another perspective, AppleScript, or Android's intents; it's not even that you need pipes, but you need applications that surface enough API for you to extend them. I mean, yes, pipes are a very good option, I just want to point out that the exact form is less important than having something you can hook into.
Mind expanding ideas are - because they help the mind to make connections in the future in which they involved. The field of science contains numerous personality types, some of which are creative, some of which are analytical. It is often worth the analytical (who must see data) to entertain those with creativity or intuition to make the jump - since often data does not lead to leap insights.

Incremental science happens because of data; leap science happens because of creativity and intuition to explore the areas data hasn't 'gapped to'. And it is the difference when 'the data does not yet lead there, so we can't think there' that I refer to for social conformity.
Was this a job at a place that was a such a small startup that you were being paid partially in stock? Or was this a larger company where you didn't have to take that risk?

My point is that there are places where your contribution to the overall success is more directly related to what you are paid, however many people don't want to work at those places because it involves significantly more risk.

Let's say you have a nearly 100% chance of making $50k for the next 10 years for a total of $500k. Alternatively you can take a 10% chance at making $5 million total over the next 10 years. The reason that there is potential for a larger payout in the second job is because you are taking a greater risk. If you were working at a company where someone else was taking the risk, then the rewards likely flowed to those people.

For many young people, their first job gives them some data points about what they are actually capable of delivering so they can choose to work at places that trend toward rewarding contribution (startup, self-employed, etc.) or at places that don't (like your company) based on what type of performance they are capable of providing.

One way it can be a foot gun is:

To ensure ordering, systems like these have to block consumption on any given partition until it gets an ACK. If publishers of the data don't understand that, they can publish with too coarse a partition key which greatly decreases the amount of concurrent consumption you can have.

Not knocking how these systems work, it's more that people generally don't "read the fine print", especially these days with cloud services.
That's, like, your opinion, man.

In my opinion (and I see many sharing the sentiment here) if apple are gonna send perfectly usable devices for recycling instead of reselling them, then that is bad.

Hence I would argue that their right to have a contract upheld weighs lower here than literally everyone else's right on the planet to not waste resources.

We have many things you simply are not allowed into contracts. High interest loans, organ sales, you name it. Forcing someone to destroy a usable device, polluting the environment and using up resources as a result just might become one of those. I'd be in favor actually. I don't value apple's stock more than the planet. But then I also don't own any of it, so there's that...
