Of course not.

There's also no way to be sure it was FF in general and not the particular version(s) of FF Beta I was running at the time.

There is no way to know which of numerous factors might contribute without running from a blank profile, which isn't something anyone would do unless really keen on investigating a problem, as it's easier to just run a different browser instead.

If a payment process gets stuck due to an FF-specific adblocker, I'd still count that as an accident of implementation affecting FF users, because final stage payment processes don't have any reason to call up ad-blocked services, and most FF users use an adblocker, don't they?

I'm with you, I find the meta key on mac messy.
I personally change ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v to ctrl+c and ctrl+v in my terminal emulator so that it's consistent accross the board. This way it's clear:

* ctrl: app specific shortcuts
That's a great way to work and it is something I think I will do as well. create some presets that give good results then tweak accordingly. Now I just need to get better at colour correcting in the first place!

Just a question, isn't all criticism against bitcoin applicable to gold?

Money/Currency/Value in general can't be reduced or derived from first principles. You always have to take into account human nature, economic activity, and most unfortunately: psychology. So all criticism about how bitcoin inherently being pointless, sounds like off-tune. I want good reasons to/NOT-to buy in.

First-world country citizens kind of trust their governments to at least behave lawfully, or at least be eventually accountable. There are systems in place for transactions and accounting, and "everyone" has access.

The "Value" of bitcoin, coming from a struggling third-world country (Lebanon), is in the ability to be independent of a currency that is inflating quickly, being able to transact with the outside world (even if only in bulk) without being under the mercy of a failing financial system that is lurking around to take a share in every which way possible.

The energy consumption needs of bitcoin are an obvious drawback. But I don't think it's fair to brush away the whole thing for only that reason.

Disclosure: I own an embarrassingly small amount of bitcoin (~0.4BTC).
The main difference is that the feds as well as other mainstream institutions are beginning to buy cryptocurrencies. That didn't happen in 2017. There are a number of analysts that are predicting it will get much higher than $20,000 because many governments are trying to print their way out of trouble.
You could mention that it was almost 15 years ago in your previous post. That's more than enough time for the whole community attitudes to change, and they did.
It's largely a collective delusion, it has value because people believe it has value. Fiat currencies and gold are arguably in that same category.
They don't need to register a new one, just have emails going to it. They have a sub domain so that it knows who to forward the mail on to.
Sigh.

I 100% understand what you are saying but I also 100% disagree with it.

This is all greed with no substance. Wealthy people and those who desire to be wealthy are doing everything they can to arbitrarily prop up something which does not really have value. And they seem to be winning- which is everything that is wrong with the world right now.
The article was talking specifically about exfil on air gapped systems.

I guess I'm just trying to say that non-intrusive side channels are more impressive to me since you cut out the need for any form of system access to plant the malware.
Not to mention that companies like Google and Microsoft also offer different levels of technical support alongside their products.

For smaller companies, or companies that want to invest less in their technology stack IT department, it sounds like a better deal to have all services provided and backed by a larger computation corporation (even if that's not always actually cheaper in the long run).
Cool some useful new information.

At this point I don't see how I could make a suggestion that hasn't already been made. My only regret is waking up in the wrong timezone and being late to the party. I think it is great to see so much interest and so many answers to this question here on HN.

I suppose one suggestion I might make is to take a look at Janet after you have a chance to do some reading on lisp. It is practical and multi-paradigm like Common Lisp but adopts syntax similar to Clojure. Plus it comes in a small package and the docs for the core library are really nice.

I haven't had that experience. I have had the slightly annoying experience of mapping keys using tools for X, and then realizing some time later that when in the console those mappings vanish. Of course, there are tools for remapping keys in the console, but they are a little less user friendly.

In the end, I got a keyboard that incidentally had functionality to remap keys built in (I wanted the keyboard already anyway, but the remapping feature was a nice bonus). This ended up routing around the problem entirely, and seems like a generally better solution. Now my remaps survive all the way to Windows, for my rare trips over there.
That's probably lesser than your team's payroll budget :) Their positioning is that you can reduce the staff needed to operate and maintain these instances.
Of course it's not impossible. But also they must be tech savvy enough to go look for an email client where they already had the usual web interface, get to testing a few and settle on Thunderbird, then configure and stick with it.

But that obviously it doesn't happen that often or else Thunderbird would boast a lot more users than it actually does. Relatively few users use it at all, and it's a reasonable assumption that the usage is higher among the more tech savvy than the average user.
You may want to consider that the value of Bitcoin a constant.

The implication is that the value of the USD isn't.
>There is very little attractive about the idea that a group can devalue currency on a whim.

You can turn this around: There is very much attractive about the idea that a group can maintain the value of a currency on a whim.

>> Is there any sign that there is an over-supply of dollar which would justify leaving the dollar until it is crashed?

> Yes. Have you seen M1[1] this year?

There is definitely more supply, but is it too much? Can't this be the result of decisions that maintain the value?

If that money is just somewhere on the books, but people don't have more money to spend, then the value of things remains stable.

The value of money depends not only on the amount of available money but also on the velocity with which it is spent. As far as I know, credit cards have increased the velocity by which people are spending money which increased the supply of money and stimulated the economy.

Now, during this crisis, do people spend money with the usual velocity? If not, then that reduced speed has to be compensated by supplying more money.
Most people have no issue going through FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc on a regular basis.

But when you say we should start using alternative tools in parallel to FB so that we contribute to grow these networks and reduce our dependence, then it's suddenly a huge cumbersome task.

Let's admit that the vast majority of users is actually ok with what FB does with their data. Showing concerns about privacy without actually doing anything is a cheap way of looking good.
In Europe, I did such a fast test with results in 10 minutes, with visual reading, like in pregnancy tests, so no Bluetooth.

The cost was less than $15, so if the Ellume test is double, then $15 would be just for the Bluetooth transceiver plus maybe a surcharge for the US market, as here all medical services are more expensive.

I use it both for simple things like a good looking commit log (the default view), but like especially how I can navigate into an old commit, hit t (for tree), and navigate and peek into the files available in that specific commit, hit b (for blame) to view which commit changed a particular row etc.

I like how all the different views play together into such useful workflows, and how, just like in vim, everything is available one mnemonic keystroke away. Hit h (for help) inside it to explore ... you will be surprised at the power of using these different views together in practice.

I agree, maintaining two popular distro's is pretty distracting and a potential waste of resources. But CentOS was just RHEL with the branding removed, I'm not sure it was that much of a headache to maintain.

IMO CentOS was kind of a bait to get people into the tent, and then if they needed help once using it across all of their infra they would eventually have to migrate to RHEL w/ enterprise support.

Also what confuses me here, is that they claim CentOS Stream is going to be the cutting-edge distro for RHEL... however Fedora already serves that purpose.

Testing once per week is $4 per day, which definitely adds up. But if you do this testing staggered across a population, you interrupt a whole lot of transmission chains.

Not to mention a whole lot of the $30 is the disposable bluetooth scanner. If you wanted to do this kind of antigen test repeatedly at the population level you'd make different choices.
It's kinda sad that the pricing or market capitalization is the only thing that is being talked about in the "cryptocurrency community", instead of focussing on how the technology can be useful for society. Like for example if you look at /r/Bitcoin, there's a sidebar with "Submit text/link NOT about price", yet virtually every post is about price, even if just indirectly (Paypal joins the cryptocurrency bandwagon and the top comments are that this is good for the price). Searching for Bitcoin on YouTube is likewise not a good idea unless you want to listen to dudes rambling about the price for hours. Back when I bought my first Bitcoin, I couldn't care less about the price. I spent it almost immediately for servers and other digital services. I don't regret that I didn't "HODL" it. What really counts is whether it is sound money and all the speculation doesn't help in that regard. If anything, the usefulness of e.g. Bitcoin declines due to rising transaction costs and constant price swings.

It's curious that the 4 bullet points in the final section don't make any mention of open source (in fact, the article doesn't at all).

I think Opera Software circa 2012 was doing all of the things we would hope for/expect from Mozilla & Firefox, and doing them much better than Mozilla could. Bar one: it was not open source.

When I made the switch to Firefox in 2012, it was my belief that I would not have been forced to switch browser had Opera originally been open source. I strongly believed in open source at the time; I used Opera in spite of that. When they shut down the Presto project, I lamented the loss due to the inability of the community to fork.

I'm wondering if Firefox went away, would a fork be likely to survive in any impactful way; browsers are massive, complex & enormously expensive to maintain, whether you have rights to the source or not. Maybe open source isn't the panacea we thought in this particular context.

I'm still on Firefox as I'm loathe to support any browsers built on Blink & contribute further to a monoculture, but the Vivaldi project have finally started to achieve similar things to what Opera was doing 8 years ago. It's notable that it's linked in blue in the section of this article headed "A better browser".

> 3. Invest more in Thunderbird the application and develop Thunderbird the privacy focus email service for independent professionals and small businesses.

While I agree that Thunderbird as a standalone Windows/MacOS/Linux desktop email client is a very important project, and needs to be continued, maintained and refined, the paradigm of email has moved on somewhat since 2003.

People need to be able to do more than just access email on a desktop or laptop.

I'd like to see two new things under the Thunderbird/Mozilla name:

a) a fully open source GPL licensed, self-hostable, webmail server application that fulfills the same functions as rainloop or roundcube, implemented in the Thunderbird name. Maybe it could have its own new GUI to run inside the browser, or it could offer an optional "traditional" GUI that is similar to the Thunderbird desktop client. This has a possibility for a natural symbiotic relationship with Firefox, as the best and most optimal web browser client to view the webmail.

b) a Thunderbird Android email client. There should be no reason why people should be locked into the default Android google/gmail email client. I can't even view message headers on it. I want a full featured "power user" IMAP-over-TLS + SMTP email client for Android that is also open source.
Does this represent Bitcoin serving as a tool of government monetary policy, like the dollar, but a different government?

> I'm not sure how the author puts a value on someone else's preference for a view. This seems paternalistic. The view out the window of your home has a significant impact on your quality of life.

The author is a bit facetious. It's not the emotional value of the view, it's the market value of their real estate. If you have a house worth $1 MM with no above ground subway in front of it, and then one day they build such a subway and the market value goes to $800 k, then you just lost $200k. It hurts your pocket, but it sounds better to say it's your emotions you really care about.

There is arguably far less value for most fiat curencies, at least for future use, maybe we still have a working fiat system today.

Let's assume bitcoin becomes the dominant currency for payments down the road. At its max supply, each bitcoin would be worth well over 10 million USD (in today's value of USD). And it would keep increasing in "value" because of its deflation scheme (unless of course conscencius vote for upping the supply limit for whatever reason)

So, we have a fiat currency on one side, manipulated by (at best) incompetent politicians, suffering inflation in the near term with all the stimulus we absurdly accept, a growing global debt, without a solution to repay in the horizon. And on the other side, a sane monetary policy system backed by a very solid network (all those farms + battle tested software).

In a 5+ years, these comments will look funny when people will argue that a 100k bitcoin is overvalued.
Well Indigenous are nothing else than Native people. Or how do you define Indigenous?

Gold doesn't have the same curve as BTC. Neither does pretty much anything else. Why has Bitcoin alone gone up 20% in the last month?
So glad you asked! I wrote a blog post about exactly this. My answer is "The Network is the value." The price of a bitcoin reflects the value of the network using it.

There's a neat feature in the BMW X5 xDrive45e (a petrol plug-in hybrid SUV) - when you enter a low emissions zone, it automatically switches to battery power.

Moving emissions away from the tailpipe in heavily populated areas seems like a great idea.

There's no free lunch though. The emissions are still happening, just in different places where they're, ideally, less likely to affect people.

It's a better situation but it's not yet perfect.
1) That is not my own quote.

2) Confirmation bias. There are people looking to prove what they already believe. So they go out and "prove it". Have you seen what their proof exactly is? I've heard claims like that many times, and their proofs fall apart every time as soon as you look at the numbers and how much cryptocurrencies are actually traded. The volumes are huge. Tether is tiny.
For English speakers "nu" in Swedish means "now", so it was a really popular TLD here in the early Internet. I'm guessing it still kinda is but I don't see those domains as much anymore. I don't know much about its history though so someone maybe can correct me if the meaning of nu isn't the reason the TLD ended up in Sweden.
It is indeed sad that a 9 year old died from purely preventable air pollution.

However, through her death and the resulting judgement, we (royal) can start holding polluters and companies liable. And through that, we can start to effect strong climate based change, through a series of steep punishments of wrongful death and the like.

I sincerely hope her death is not in vain, but as a loud bell to start a wave of changes.

Hey! oso CTO here.

Thanks for giving it a try! Were you using this in a Rust project, or building it from scratch for some other language?

For the latter, we do provide libraries for Python, Ruby, Java, Nodejs with the Rust core precompiled. It's a tricky CI challenge for us, but shouldn't affect users.

If you're using in a Rust project, then you will indeed need to pull in our dependencies. Though we are pretty lean on dependencies, and I would expect most projects using oso would be using serde anyway.

That being said those times you're seeing seem very long, even for Rust! Is that building with `--release`? Also, the time to compile it the first time will be slow, esp. including downloading the source. But incremental builds are a lot faster. We do a little caching in CI to make this a bit less painful.
I hate github like every other guy, but this has nothing to do with the announcement. They're disallowing ssh password auth that's all, non-authenticated operations are fine and ssh pubkey auth is fine. Seems legit to me.
