The core for developers will continue to be free and open source – i.e., libraries, language + policy engine, debugger, REPL.

We’ll have a commercial product geared towards ops and security teams. We’re not yet ready to take the wraps off anything yet, but among the things we’re working on or planning: an oso mgt, service, auditing, policy governance, etc. See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25443747
Uhm, you didn’t see the featured “Screenshots” item in the main navigation?
Firefox isn't even the best browser on Linux.

On my aarch64 devices, Chromium in a Docker image loads faster, never dominates the CPU, renders video and websites faster, and has working DRM. Firefox is slower in every respect and can't render Netflix.
The very reason I find Lisps enjoyable is all the things an editor can do for you with a Lisp. Smartparens, rainbow parens, easy eval of forms (+ pprinting, macroexpand, inline replace etc), jump to definition, for Clojure - contextual awareness of the namespace and REPL session you're in. Probably forgetting a number of things. Without these there wouldn't be much for me left to like about programming in a Lisp. As far as I'm concerned, learning to use the editor well is as important as learning the language itself.

I only know Emacs well. Checked out VS code for Clojure a while ago and it wasn't even close. Clojure IDE "Cursive" is supposed to be good, but never tried and not sure if you want to invest time in an ad hoc IDE. It seems to me lispers don't want to discourage people by recommending Emacs, but at the end of the day, most people who stick with it tend to be Emacs users.
Next.js is open source so if FB would want to merge React with Next.js I think they can do that anytime.
It's weird how consistent this claim is when the ad stuff (which I personally never used when I tried Brave) was always opt-in and always an advertised feature part of Brave's (possibly misguided) mission to change the landscape of internet advertising.
I am not so sure. Windows default Mail app has multiple account support quite visible.

I’m glad you had a better experience than I.

I tried learning CL back in 2006 and read a quickstart guide from the #lisp IRC channel. It had sentences in it like:

“ Using a plain text editor without any runtime connection to your Lisp implementation just because you think you prefer its keybindings is stupid and self-defeating.”

And

“Follow these directions or risk our wrath, or at least unsympathetic attitudes!”

The document, mercifully, doesn’t appear to exist any more. Maybe when I called them on it at the time they realized that maybe there’s a better way and changed it. But it definitely made a poor first impression.
Just today I’ve heard an explanation: “you pay per request instead of per instance”.
I feel like everything after FC2 has felt progressively less organic and more scripted. I'm playing through New Dawn right now and it doesn't feel like an open world anymore, it feels like a bunch of mini games stitched together and your control system is on training wheels.

The outpost capture system introduced in FC3 just feels formulaic and bland by FC:ND, you can choose to replay it at a harder difficulty and it just moves around alarms or adds higher level enemies. The enemies all use the same AI and just have more hit points and better aim. The Elite enemies are just tanks that can't be tracked.

The controls are borked, there's now a delay and short window to engage the wingsuit where as in FC4 you just belly flop yourself on the ground whenever. This prevents you from using the wingsuit in a lot of scenarios that it was previously accessible and results in a lot of death falls until you just give up on using the wingsuit entirely.

Enemy repawn and reclaiming is ridiculous and kills immersion. You can attack a machine gun nest kiling a squad then move less than 100 yards away and it will be repopulated when you turn your back with new elements.

Each new version feels less open world and more like a level of Super Mario Bros.
Probably more than CL yes, but thank you I create my own job.
Bernie Madoff operated his "game of musical chairs" for over twice that period of time. If age is the only argument you have to justify Bitcoin's value, we still have a while to go.
I agree with almost everything you say here.

What I’m not sure about is how we are not being honest about the problem?

I agree with this:
“network technologies encourage our tendencies toward runaway group think and villainization due to their effect of disinhibition (making us react to something more quickly than we can rationally think about it)”

Except that it seems over-general. I think this is feature of some social network designs, but I don’t see how we can say it applies to all ‘network technogies’.

To me that just leads back to there being a problem with how Facebook is designed.

It is designed to maximize engagement so they can sell ads - I.e. they profit from this disinhibition.

I think we largely agree on what’s happening, but what I don’t yet understand is how you conclude that Facebook is a scapegoat.
US leadership was actively pushing for rolling back energy standards (that California was fighting for quite strongly).

US has achieved a lot (especially Tesla) _despite_ the leadership working against it for a long time.
You could control for patient characteristics (age, severity of the condition, etc), and that was indeed done here, see the paper. It also specifically addresses this issue:

> The major threat to the internal validity of our findings is that surgeons may selectively operate on sicker and more complex patients on their birthday, perhaps because those patients cannot have their procedures delayed. However, this is unlikely to explain our findings because we found that patients who underwent surgery on the surgeon’s birthday were similar in all observable characteristics to patients who underwent surgery on other days. Furthermore, severity of illness as measured by predicted mortality, and the number of procedures performed per surgeon, also did not differ based on whether a surgery occurred on a surgeon’s birthday compared with other days.

It seems to me that the analysis is quite carefully done:

> Findings were qualitatively unaffected by: using in-hospital mortality instead of 30 day mortality;
additionally adjusting for the timing of the surgery; including both hospital and surgeon fixed effects in the same regression models; excluding potentially outlier surgeons with the highest mortality; using logistic regression models instead of linear probability models: using random effects models instead of fixed effects models; restricting our analysis to surgeons who performed procedures on their birthdays; additionally adjusting for the day of the year; or excluding surgeons who were born on the outlier birthdays (supplementary eTables 5-13).
[...]
The study findings were qualitatively unaffected when the analysis was restricted to procedures with the highest average mortality or to patients with the highest severity of illness (supplementary eTables 16 and 17).

The carbon footprint is funded by the block reward which is halved every 4 years until it dwindles to nothing. Progress is slow, but inexorable.
"But is anyone going to be getting the test every day? Particularly when it apparently costs $30."

This is why it needs to be subsidized by the government.

Also, according to that TWiV episode it could be done for something like $1 per test.

Front end deployment, when done correctly, is already easy. S3 + Cloudfront and done: all your static assets are globally available everywhere with good response times in all major geographic areas.
No, node software verifies transactions. Miners are supposed to also verify transactions because they should also run a validating node. There have been blocks in the past mined by miners who did not verify the transactions before putting them in the blocks (doing this would give you competitive edge) only to find out that the rest of the network rejected their blocks.
Firefox ought to have native blocking with a fast rules processing engine.
One day, when Tether finally breaks, books will be written, trying to explain how something so plainly fraudulent was able to persist for so long. The game theory behind its persistence is fascinating: only the last guy in stands to lose anything, so each transaction moved through Tether is basically pricing in a tiny chance of collapse.
Large scale testing is likely aimed at public health, where the goal is to lower Rt < 1. Missing some positives is tolerable. Also, the antigen tests are more sensitive when the person is most likely to be contagious.
Of course.

That payment problem is fixed now though. It was broken for a few months and is fine now.
Runoff carries all sorts of things into waters, and I think the issue is particularly bad when you have large denser areas like Seattle, since the concentration of unwanted chemicals in local waters can be huge. For example opioids from Seattle’s street level drug abuse can be found in local marine life: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/25/614593382...
Are you keeping the default configuration? What are your favourite hacks?

The choice for jkl; for ←↑↓→ is quite unfortunate, since it is just off by one to the “standard” hjkl. Also many keyboard layouts have some other key on the place of “;”, so they have to reconfigure anyway.
It's not like Bitcoin has a hardcap in any of our lifetimes. Coin yearly inflation is the metric people should be concerned about. BTC is less than 2%, whereas Ethereum is around 4% today. With PoS, this figure will drop to <2%, so equivalent to Bitcoin. The whole "ETH supply is infinite" is such a lame argument. It's not infinite, because your life isn't infinite. It has a finite yearly inflation, just like Bitcoin.
I've been using Magit for years, but I've never seen the use of "porcelain" as a jargon term to describe anything but Magit. Can you point me to a 'splaner on the use of that term? Googling hasn't gotten me anything but an insight to just how many people take porcelain (the pottery) very, very seriously.
I’ll have to disagree there. It’s by far the best on Windows.
> Through a secure cloud connection, the Ellume COVID-19 Home Test provides real time reporting of test results and critical data to health authorities, employers and educators, for efficient COVID-19 mapping. [1]

> Real-time reporting through secure, HIPAA compliant cloud connection [1]

My understanding is that a major hurdle was the FDA requiring test results be reported back to health authorities. Or at least there has been a lot of disagreement on the issue [2]. It's a bit unclear if the reporting via the app is 100% mandatory but I would bet on it sending at least something indicating positive/negative by default.

I'd expect the majority of the per unit cost to be the digital test reader and Bluetooth capability. I'm skeptical if this is anything more than a fancy camera + Bluetooth like digital pregnancy tests. [3]

I'm glad we are finally getting an at home test but I can not help but think that having cheaper and simpler antigen test strips available months ago would have been a better solution.

A CD is like a DVD with only sound. A DVD is like a Blu Ray but can't hold as much. A Blu Ray is what your PlayStation/Xbox games come on. Given the popularity of game consoles and that most of them still use optical media, I don't think CD/DVDs are things that a young person would be unfamiliar with. Unlike floppy disks which have no equivalent or use for average people these days.
Sooner or later bitcoin must stabilize. Either because it goes to zero or because it starts tracking inflation with volatility way down. That's when we will know.
If standalone email clients really are dead for the average user, that to me would suggest Thunderbird should focus on power-users and/or corporate deployments, not that it should shift its focus to being part of yet another "service". It's perfectly fine to make a product with an audience that isn't everyone on Earth.
> If anything, they should spin off development of Thunderbird into a separate company with its own independent funding structure.

They already did that.

- In 2012 Mozilla (the corporation) started this move by announcing that "Thunderbird was not a priority for Mozilla" [1]. At this point Mozilla (corp) stopped actively investing in Thunderbird.

- In 2015, Mitchel Baker made it clear that the Mozilla (corp) wanted to get rid of Thunderbird [2]. At this point the Mozilla corp started shutting down support services for the Thunderbird project.

- In 2017 Thunderbird was legally moved to the Mozilla Foundation (instead of the corporation) and started surviving mostly on its own, with some minor help from the Mozilla Foundation [3]. Here Mozilla (corp), the company responsible for Firefox, already got rid of Thunderbird entirely.

- In 2020, it became clear that Thunderbird can survive entirely on its own donations and could even try to provide commercial services. Thus, the Mozilla Foundation created a new "MZLA Technologies Corporation" that is now the legal entity responsible of Thunderbird [4]. MZLA Tech is not responsible for any other product that I know of.

Thanks for the compliment and the feedback :)

Agree re: wordsrunningtogether on the front page, that will be fixed shortly. We'll also think about how we can provide more visibility into how the bandwidth limits translate to reality, I've added it to our todo list.
Which is fine, you can learn a lot by immersion when you hear other native speakers talk. I only ask a person to repeat when I don't understand or if it's unclear and I need to be sure about something. Not breaking the flow of conversation is much more important to me
The carbon footprint is estimated to be 37Mt CO2 per year, similar to New Zealand, and BTC represents close to half of the current global data centre electricity use. https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption/
if you look at the profile picture of the guy writing it it will all make sense https://twitter.com/rauchg
I'll consider that this isn't a game of musical chairs as soon as a non-trivial amount of BTC is used for anything other than speculation.

We've been in a massive credit bubble for well over a decade, we saw it wiggle a bit in 2008, but we're still deep in it. Just because these insane illusions are able to maintain themselves for absurdly long periods of time doesn't make them real.

What we've seen is capital desperately seeking to find a new source of value to exploit, perpetually failing to do so and getting ever more delirious in its search.

> Often, the exact specific criticism appears directly in the paper because the researchers thought of that too.

From the paper:

"The major threat to the internal validity of our findings is that surgeons may selectively operate on sicker and more complex patients on their birthday, perhaps because those patients cannot have their procedures delayed. However, this is unlikely to explain our findings because we found that patients who underwent surgery on the surgeon’s birthday were similar in all observable characteristics to patients who underwent surgery on other days.

I’m curious what you have in mind as better than Zoom.
My friend is a SaaS pricing expert. She normally charges upwards of $578 USD per hour for her consulting services, but she was happy to take a look at your site for free.

Here are some of her recommendations:

* Lite should be called Free and it should be lower on the Pricing page compared to the paid plans.

* Paid plans should segment customers by value.

* Premium and Pro plans can be combined into one Premium plan for $29 per month minimum.

* Enterprise pricing should be on request ("Call Us") or $249 per month minimum.

* You should be price testing via list offers.
Personally, I don't go for gamedev tech books, as they date quickly. Perhaps pick up something a bit more timeless on game design, e.g. MIT's Playful Thinking series [1] or some of the other classics in the field, like "Game Feel" [2], "Rules of Play" [3], etc.

That’s an orthogonal issue as Microsoft’s cloud email offering is still (a version of) Exchange and supports MAPI/EAS all the same.
>The other thing is individual accountability: chemical engineers who facilitate this insanity should be held responsible.

Hey, I wanted to point out for your future reference that you really should be blaming the chemists. They’re the ones who design the product and intentionally choose this. Chemical engineers are the ones who do the manufacturing of chemical products. I have CE friends and they’re the ones in the plants keeping processes running

You won't be able to beat Chrome by technology alone. I actually don't know how Mozilla can beat Chrome.

Google has an extremely strong incentive to capture the web client market. Whatever Mozilla can do to make Firefox more popular, Google can outspend them by a factor 10 and do more, or better, or both.

I want Firefox to win but unfortunately I just don't see a path for it. My mindset at the moment is "I'm going to use Firefox for as long as it's possible, and then I'll find the least crappy Chromium fork available".

I don't know if it'll take 6 months or 6 years to get to that point but I really don't have faith in Mozilla righting the ship.
Are you aware that USD is the currency most frequently used for both fraud and crime?
At the time, there was nowhere that we knew of on the net that showed fundamental data and metrics yearly or quarterly in columns and didn't cost many thousands. Google Finance used to sort of do this for 2-3 periods, but the available fields were limited and the UI was not friendly to research.

So we made a tool where you could: select various series of data, see their historical series, and also visualize your selections. This was helpful to assist our manual screening after we ran our automated filters (think Morningstar, just as a database query).

A real manual screen setup might start with something like: "I want retained earnings, outstanding debt, and fully diluted share counts for the last 5 years for AIZ and their top3 competitors". Plotted out, perhaps you notice that property insurance segments are fairly cyclical (weather/season) which can be a useful thing to tease out for an outsider/amateur. Or maybe you note that companies don't always break their revenue sections out the way you want, so you can't even do this analysis! (Looking at you, Alphabet & Youtube.)

We started with Yahoo prices and Yahoo fundamental data, but eventually realized that we still had to verify a lot of their data (against EDGAR). Quandl was a step up in price but we worried a lot less about data integrity with that, and by this time we were seeing some confirmation of results for our strategy.

We had a good ARR sustained over a couple years. However, the scalar value of the (risky!) gains was far too small to justify either quitting our tech jobs or sustaining an extra 40+ hours a week. The lessons were great, and seeing shenanigans in real life (looking at you, TSLA) but not in headlines is always fascinating.

We did do some concepting of a subscription for the research product, but I'd be surprised if that was realistic given our lack of marketing knowledge (and $). RH is a thing now though, so perhaps we were wrong.
What OSS has AWS cannibalised and stuck an API on to put this out? Doesn't seem obvious from the post.

It depends on the error rate of the test. If it's close to 50/50 then obviously the test is worthless. But these tests are much more reliable than that, so a population scale the wrong results will be corrected with more testing.

I don't have the analysis in front of me, but I encourage you to listen to that TWiV episode yourself and listen to the panel of virologists discussing this. They were initially skeptical also, but after questioning the plan's author they were eventually convinced and became excited because the plan could actually work.
