There are some convenience issues with Firefox that bother me:

- It starts slower then Chromium.

- Right click and "Open in new private window" actually opens in a new private window. I prefer how Chromium does it, grouping all sites opened like this as tabs in one window.

- In Chromium, I can easily set any URL as a custom search engine with whatever parameters I like. In Firefox, I can't.
You're doing the same as we don't know how expensive nee nuclear plants are in first world countries.

So when the app tells you to quarantine, you quarantine? Or it is important enough to share everyone's location data, but not for people to more radically adjust their behaviour rather than just avoid a particular location?

There were plenty of cases where in app notifications lead to people getting tested and in touch with their local tracing efforts. You don't need privacy invading levels of analytics to measure that. With the low numbers we had over the past months exactly what else do you expect?
> Solar panels will always require a backup power plant as the Sun isn’t shining 24/7 and storing large amounts of electric energy isn’t trivial.

Boop, you're wrong about the first claim. Storing large amounts of electricity isn't trivial, but neither is building a backup powerplant (or really anything at that scale). In my region there are multiple grid level battery storage facilities with batteries from decommissioned electric vehicles and as far as I know they're also financed through EEG-money.

I haven't yet done the research to see how much of that storage we'll need, but I'm crazy enough to claim that of course we can do it. Though, also certainly, that will increase the systemic cost of solar power.

But nothing is free and the transition to renewable energy is inevitable and needs to happen as quickly as possible.

It seems rather convenient that the average electricity consumption is also lower when the sun doesn't shine.
That’s an interesting interpretation, but...

It will be a great idea when the reliability of the system will have a large number of nines, so chances that you are stranded in the middle of nowhere and the car does not want to start because of a fault will be less than being hit by an asteroid. Other than that, people would consider it an unsafe product and refuse to use it and people vote for what finally becomes a law.

I heard the same argument for electronic gun safety measures, except that no government agency even consider using it for their own guns. Why? They are not reliable enough, yet.

Lack of transparent supply auditability is a feature not so much of zk-snarks but of Confidential Transactions, which use Pedersen commitments to obscure amounts. Knowing the discrete logarithm of just one particular point would completely break these commitments and all cryptocurrencies based on them, by allowing undetectable inflation. They thus require complete confidence in the computational hardness of the Elliptic Curve Discrete Log Problem.
Thanks for the explanation!

There's a risk, when attempting to condense prose, that goes like this: you go through several iterations, replacing phrases with shorter ones and rearranging them, ending up with something that looks good to you, but only because you have been through the process and know how you intend it to be read.

For this reason, it is a good idea to have someone else read tour 'final' draft, and to periodically put aside your work for a while and do something else. I do not suppose these are options for people writing headlines, and neither is punctuation (here, a comma after 'company' would have helped.)

This can happen when implementing an algorithm as well, and when it does, comments can be useful.

Scaleway and OVH are also great if you have clients or audience in the EU. Hetzner is just a reseller of others' infra but it's also nice. Kind of annoying how they ask for your ID and issue randomly generated login names, but the platform is good.
It actually feels faster than Chrome to me. I've been primarily on Firefox for the past few months and was really surprised to find Chrome not feeling as responsive when I tried to use it recently.
> if you ask normal people, they will hate this - only some data fanatics want this feature.

Show the evidence. Wanting data privacy is far from the fringe minority sentiment you imply it to be, otherwise GDPR wouldn't be so popular.
There are definitely some cases where I like it:

- Copying links.

- Copying a whole webpage and keeping headings.

- Sometimes keeping bold and italics are nice.

However when you paste something and it just preserves the font (typeface, color and size) of the entire copy it is just annoying.

Overall I think I like it most of the time. Also cook with things like GNOME Terminal's copy-as-html you can copy/past a command log with highlighting which is a killer feature. I also have a browser extension which lets my copy a bunch of Tabs as HTML links (<a href={url}>{title}</a>) which is great for pasting places that support it.

I think the real problem is that there is no universal way to drop back to plain text. Ctrl-Shift-V usually works, but it isn't universal.

This goes back to my idea that we should have Universal Semantic Shortcuts. For example instead of sending Ctrl-v to the app. My desktop environment should handle that and send a Paste event. And Ctrl-Shift-V should universally send a Paste even with just the plain text content.

I think there are a lot of common actions that could be handled like this, and it means that you can remap Paste across all your applications.

Maybe we should take inspiration from Apple and map Super-v to the Paste event and slowly transition. Since few if any Linux apps bind to the Super key (is that even possible?) it would be a good place to add these new Semantic Shortcuts.
No thanks. I'm steering clear of their increasingly closed ecosystem
Show HN: Review and merge open source data science
Hey HN! I'm Dean, one of the creators of DAGsHub, a place to host data science projects. DAGsHub lets you track experiments, data, models, and code, with Git. I want to share something we've been working on – Data Science Pull Requests (DS PRs) – expanding Pull Requests (PRs) to include data, models, and experiments. We wanted to create DS PRs to automate the data science review process and enable Open Source Data Science (OSDS).

If you've worked on a data science project with other people or tried reviewing someone else's data science work, you know how hard it is to get the information you need in order to understand someone else's work or explain your own to make the review process meaningful.

OSDS has the potential to change the world as OSS did, but let's face it – OSDS doesn't really exist. If you maintain an OSDS project and want to accept pull requests – you have to do it almost entirely manually or resort to accepting only code changes (no way to accept data bug fixes). On the other side, if you want to improve your ML portfolio by contributing to some OSDS project, you're also stuck. You can either fork the project and not contribute your work (which means it’s never reviewed – you don't learn as much) or go through a painstaking manual effort.

DS PRs let you:

- Review, compare, and comment on experiments (metrics, parameters, visualizations), in the context of your PR.

- See what data and models have changed (not just code)

- Compare and diff notebooks

- After review, merge code, data, and models all at once.

We're building DAGsHub to be a community-first data science platform. That means you can easily discover and contribute to data science projects created by others, not only by improving code but also by improving data. This has the potential to make ML work better, for everyone.

There is a lot of work to do. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

I see that the EU is wasting money in the same corrupt way the UK is right now with Deloitte and other consultancies.

Let’s face it - our politicians are bought and paid for and local tech companies want to skim from the gravy train.
I have quoted this before on HN: at the beginninng of his Anti-Memoires, Malraux writes of asking an old priest what he has learned from all those years of hearing confessions. The priest says that he has learned that a) in general, there are no grown-ups; b) most people are sadder than they appear.
I guess whether you consider them symptoms depends on what you think the problem is. Is the problem that we don't have GAFA-sized companies, or is the problem that data is not stored under EU jurisdiction?

That question is particularly pertinent if you consider that GAFA-sized can mean "big enough to influence legislation".
A tangent but, a lot of google's sites disobey browser standards and rules like for example sound autoplay on load. When you visit https://santatracker.google.com/ or youtube, it automatically plays sound without any user interaction, which is impossible for non Google sites to do

Yes. I want that.

This would lead to a local tech scene, actually REALLY localised products (where you dont have to wait till google decides to roll out features in Germany after 7 years) and best of all: JOBS. This would lead to millions of jobs. It would make Europe super interesting for high skilled labor and bring a nice twist into the migration problem we are facing now.

Yes, this would hurt America, but yeah... who cares? They are not paying taxes anyway.

And look at China. Look at their amazing apps and services they have there. We have NOTHING here. It is time to do the right thing and to say bye to American companies. We can make our own companies.
take code from rosseta and do the google thing with translating between two languages, where networks created third language as a bridge - thats your language

why you want tohave yet another language? ;)

its quite interesting :)
Yes, because it gave scale to just how big the WWI and WWII population impacts where. Click the right arrow shows the 1946 version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Germany#/media... and one more shows the 2019 version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Germany#/media... (It sadly groups the oldest population only really showing the male vs female ratio despite WWII having killed so many women in that generation.)

Both countries have a similar percentage of 65+ year olds, but COVID gets rapidly more deadly as you get older and Germany‘s very oldest generation is devastated. For comparison 31.30% of US covid deaths are from 85+ year olds.

Now take a look back at the male and female 90-94 and 95-99 year old slices of both of those charts you said looked similar.

The difference is their business model. Google offers you free things, in exchange for showing you ads. Same with Facebook. This incentivizes them to find more ways to get more data about everyone.

Apple mostly makes money by selling you goods. Privacy can become a feature of those goods, increasing its value. They are incentivized to protect privacy.

Hetzner user here, it's still very barebone compared to US cloud providers (but amazing pricing). No IAM, no EKS, it's mainly a VPS provider just like OVH.

Scaleway looked closer to an AWS competitor but I haven't used it enough to know how good it is.
Ouch what a nightmare. At that point it seems like the best way may be to start over? Like have everyone who can prove they have old-money get new-money on a first-come-first serve basis. If too much money shows up you know you got owned. Otherwise you are fine. If too much money shows up years down the line, you just deny them new-money, which screws over people who bought-and-forgot but everyone else is ok.

Why?

No doubt you'd be the first to howl should an American say "I do not like European (tech) products at all". (Well, if there were any to dislike.)

Why not ask for the moon and the stars while you're at it? You make it sound like all that is needed to develop (as tachyonbeam pointed out) European equivalents to "Google, Duckduckgo, YouTube, Uber, Facebook, Dropbox, Amazon, Netflix, etc" is to shut down access from anywhere in Europe to and from these companies. Do this today and tomorrow EUGoogle and EuroFacebook will appear as if out of nowhere! Why didn't Brussels (or Paris, or Berlin) think of this already?
Spotify, Booking.com, Adyen, Takeaway.com, ASML are a couple I'm aware of - with a bias to the country I happen to be from.

Also note that the EU is not always trying to push for global regulations - it's trying to push for EU-wide regulations which, by virtue of being strictest and a superset of global regulations, often end up as global regulations.
i suppose it shouldn’t really surprise anyone that we are still having this argument perhaps 60 years later.
Social media did kind of spawn a new wave of christian terrorism in the U.S. in the form of Qanon.. so... the concern is not entirely unfounded.

We cannot blame the userbase entirely, because the platforms themselves are designed to funnel people into thought bubbles where they can have access to as much batshit nonsense as they can fit into their eye and earholes.

Plus even Homeland Security acknowledges that social media is a threat to national security, having recently published a report detailing how popular platforms could be used to create chaos through misinformation in the midst of our next election... So there are definitely some valid concerns...

Actually, I forgot that christian terrorism is actually global now, with the Christchurch (N.Z.) mosque shooter having inspired multiple copycat terrorist attacks in California (U.S.), Texas (U.S.) and Norway. Of course these massacres are in addition to the other, white-supremacist christian terror attacks that had already been widespread in the United States before COVID took us all out of public places.

Unless there is a miraculous breakthrough in vaccines, which seems unlikely in current year, this disease will be with us for the rest of your life. Just like the flu.

The Google unit will definitely achieve better DL performance than the Nano. But the set of applications where:

* The Nano's 0.5 TFLOP of CUDA is insufficient; AND

* Google's 4 TOP of DL performance IS sufficient; BUT

* You're not bottlenecked by things like USB2; AND

* You can't afford a higher-end Jetson with dedicated ML

Well, let me just say I can't think of one on things I've actually done. I could come up with ones in abstract, but it seems like Google is aiming for 1% of the market at best. With 1% of the market, NVidia will win on community, tooling, R&D budget for v2, etc., so in the end, that means 0.1% of the market.

And that's if the two businesses were starting on even footing. They're not. Google has a horrible reputation for leaving customers high-and-dry, while NVidia's reputation is pretty good for B2B. Even if the boards were equivalent, most would pick NVidia based on that alone. Plus, NVidia is coming in with established users; they have a first-comer advantaged.

Getting late to the game with a generally inferior product with backing from a less reliable company? It seems like a loser to me.

While I dont think you can set any url as a "search engine", you can set any url as a parameterized keyword bookmark. Create a bookmark, then edit its properties, put %s in the url, and assign it a keyword. This behavior is more straightforward to setup in chrome but it at least exists in firefox.
