"Mozilla's attempts at protecting user privacy seem very half-hearted."

That is because they are. Mozilla cannot survive without internet advertising, and they sacrifice the privacy of Firefox users in exchange for funding from an advertising company, Google.

Anyone who is serious about internet privacy knows it requires some amount of vigilance. It necessitates some amount of inconvenience. It is not simply a matter of software selection. AFAIK, no third party today is going to take on full responisibility for any user's privacy.
You never see Mozilla advocating for user vigilance, yet the fight for internet privacy is the user's, not Mozilla's. The message from Mozilla is something like "If you use Firefox, we have you covered." This encourages inaction more than action. That's good for companies like Google.

If Google paid a group of users the millions it pays the group working at Mozilla, I doubt those users would care one iota about "privacy". Their own, or anybody else's. Why bite the hand that feeds you.

I only send Host and Connection headers for GET and Host, Connection, Content-Length and Content-Type for POST.

I am a lawyer, but I am not your lawyer -- definitely get yourself a lawyer.

You almost certainly have broken the law, as best I can tell from your responses to comments below. You may have violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and other state laws. More to the point, if you're asking whether something is or isn't illegal, you should recognize that you're really asking if you'll win in court. 1) No one can answer this question for you definitively in all but the most cut and dry cases and 2) do you really want to go to court over this?

Sure, but if someone who is trying to be critical in good faith finds themselves kicked out of every other community, what can you expect? Their unanswered questions will need somewhere to find an answer. Sure the individual has some responsibility, but you just made the path to radicalization much easier for them to stumble upon.
For me, the increased perf is nice, but what I really want is increased longevity. IME, microSD is a poor fit for hosting a R/W filesystem. Every time my Pi based systems have gone down, it's due to a faulty microSD. I was using well rated microSD cards and they still died relatively quickly(months, not years).

I suspect they'd be fine if I was running a read-only rootfs, but with a lot of the applications I run(i.e. HomeAssistant) you need R/W capability.

There are people with different tastes, and great lists you can discover, also they are sending newsletter called "Letterboxd Rushes for you" a weekly Letterboxd digest which mostly evolves with your activities on the website, and includes such as "new reviews by your friends", "popular films with your friends" etc. I like making archives, offline dvds, brochures, posters, and logging movies feels like a digital part of it, and Letterboxd kind of fits perfectly, similar to here actually; people, conversations and content has quality.

I think there is the solution - to support scopes for certificates, but I am afraid big companies won't be keen on donating resources to implement that.
Isn't that a Norwegian or Icelandic company? Where live Trolls live out in the wild?
Unfortunately, user behavior testing shows those certificate warnings are a threat vector. There's a reason the browsers have been moving towards the exits on trusting the user to understand the security model enough to override the trust breakage.

Chrome pops a warning, but (with a few exceptions) doesn't let you just navigate through it (there's a secret key sequence you can type to override it, but it's both purposefully undocumented and periodically rotated to make it something that you can only know if you have the chops to read the source code or consult the relevant developers' forums).
It's delusional, somehow many people have convinced themselves that further abstracting food production with whatever novelty "lab" technology (which by definition require more energy input, necessitate increased resource extraction, etc.) is the solution to environmental challenges instead of an act of doubling down on their causes.

Or, to take the pessimistic view, it might be the case that many individuals in these industries realize this and simply see emergent capital flows they can tap into.

Agreed, all close friends I've made recently I wouldn't have made the transition from casual acquaintance to close friend without social media. Social media provides zero friction interaction and the sum of interactions can grow a friendship.

Plus I don't find social media AT ALL toxic and I only spend maybe a half hour a week total on it. OTOH I find people complaining about social media being toxic is becoming extremely toxic.

Prince Harry Lands New Gig at Silicon Valley Startup
I'm happy I don't have to deal with these paradigms day to day anymore:

- Making everything go through a "controller" instead of well designed clients and APIs. Mixing rendering, redirection, ajax handling as well as page serving as well as business logic all into a "controller" is painful. ("Models" and the spaghetti design patterns they come with are even worse)

- PHP style templates that trigger database queries inline, making them difficult and eventually impossible to optimize

- Scattering view code across random places instead of writing view code with its corresponding view logic in the same file/component

- Wiring up functionality to templates by targeting selectors

- Manually setting innerHTML for dynamic functionality

- Dealing with rails "turbo" anything, which is not useful in a real world application, and dangerous (we've had production outages because of trying to use turbolinks)

- Not being able to customize behavior because you're locked into Rails design limitations

You have not understood me well. I did not say that I think "what they say isn't true". I did not say that I think they "pretend to be journalists". You interpret things into my post and attempt to refute that are not there, which is a shame because I took great deliberation to formulate it precisely the way it is. The topic under discussion is impartiality, not integrity! Be mindful of the difference.

Yep, children of poverty are less fiscally literate and exhibit different cost-benefit analysis than folks raised in relative privilege. In my brief experience with credit cards, whatever 1-5% opportunity cost you think I'm paying is overwhelmed by the 20% interest rate if I forget to pay the bill.

The preceeding is a statement about most of my life. I've gotten better at such stuff and my lifestyle has changed after grad school -- and since I didn't have credit cards while living below the poverty line and generally being a schlub, I didn't fuck up my credit, so a few months of having a credit card as a de facto adult earned me a near-perfect credit score when I needed it.

This is usually different modes in a schematic editor, because often "bringing the wires" does more harm than good. The default is different in KiCad from most-- "g" to bring wires, drag to not.
> Yet the majority of Google's problems are solved with Python, Java, Kotlin, and C++, not Go.

That's not very informative... Google had millions of lines of code in Python, Java, and C++ before Go hit 1.0 (to the extent that Kotlin enjoys wide adoption inside Google, it could be explained by compatibility with existing Java code, especially the Android niche). It would be more interesting to look at Greenfield projects which don't depend on existing Google libraries, although even then Go would have to be quite a lot better than the competition in order to get a team with a long history of proficiency in Java to migrate to a new, relatively unproven language.

> Go doesn't address any Python issue, besides AOT compilation, easily solved if PyPy had more community love.

Are you suggesting that if PyPy had more investment it would become an AOT compiler rather than a JIT compiler? Anyway, "if only the community invested in it more" is like the whole problem with the Python ecosystem. If the community invested in solving package management, Python wouldn't have such an abysmal package management story. If the community invested in a smaller C extension interface, PyPy could be fast and compatible and CPython would be freer to optimize without worrying about breaking compatibility.

I've been working with Python professionally for ~15 years now and I'm pulling for it, but come on... The idea that Go is only better with respect to AOT (ignoring that AOT is not an end to itself) is out of touch with reality. Go is 2-3 orders of magnitude more performant than Python, it's statically typed (yes, mypy exists but it's still alpha quality and I'm happy to back up that assertion if necessary), it has a sane package management story (yes there are warts, but that's still far better than the Python package management story), documentation is much better in every respect (the tooling, the centralization, the readability, the accuracy, etc), etc. These aren't small things--I've seen projects fail for poor performance, and I've spent weeks trying to find a way to get fast, reproducible builds (before giving up).

There are certainly areas where Python bests Go (e.g., data science ecosystem, web frameworks, etc), but the idea that Go only has AOT over Python is absurd.

When you put it that way, to me it sounds like a great thing. YC has always sought to filter out the resume-padding sort of founder who sees YC as a step up the status ladder. Such founders are not up for the gruelling slog of really building a startup, and tend to bail not long after the batch since they've already gotten what they wanted out of it.

People should apply to YC because they believe it would them them build a successful startup, not because they want prestige. If expanding YC leads to a decrease in prestige (alongside an increase in real value to startups, as Jared explained above), that's a win for everybody: more business-builders get access to YC, YC gets to fund more successful companies, and status-seekers can find something else that will look better on their resume.

In this sense YC is very different from the elite colleges whose brand depends on their exclusiveness. The upper bound on YC's expansion is how much startup opportunity exists in the world.

Unfortunately, since one is breaking the SSL trust model, that's probably the right solution. Not unlike having to explicitly enable "Developer mode" before a whole host of security-breaking options are available.

Actually, that's one solution Apple could consider: if a user has enabled Developer Mode on a given iOS device, allow the trust model to be broken with an "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" button instead of a silent failure.
For a similar use case I ended up with a Lenovo "nano" desktop. The IoT models are designed to be run continuously and, uh, it runs Windows too which I guess is a bonus. $300+ on sale.

It's not at all obvious to me why the number of multiplications must be at least n². Can you prove that? (To be clear, n² multiplications is most certainly the lower bound, but I can't come up with a good argument as to why.)

This is why the trivial "you must read n² entries from each input matrix and write n² entries in the end" is helpful: It's an extremely obvious lower bound on the asymptotic complexity. Sure, it's not what we're trying to reduce (and getting < n² multiplications would be a ridiculous result), but anyone can see that it's true.
You can buy Intel NUC that does way more than wimpy RPI. Remember, RPI is not opensource which is how most people see them as - aka, a feel good company. It is as proprietary as Intel in the critical areas (processor, sdk and bunch of binary blobs).

I believe you are correct, though I wanted to clarify something. I didn't mean that there was necessarily an overlap between threats and hate speech, but only that threats were another category of speech that was forbidden but was also vague.

There also happens to be some overlap, confusing the issue. But I don't know precisely on what grounds threats can be forbidden. I believe they should be, but the constitutional justification for that is unclear to me.

It's funny how different people have different ideas about what's legible and usable.

I've never seen that model in person but in general I find skinny silver hands on a white dial tend to be less than ideal for legibility.

And while the numeric minute markers are clever and legible, they seem wholly unnecessary to me -- when looking at an analog clock I'm nearly always going to round it off to the nearest 5 minutes in my head anyway. "Oh, it's almost 4:15" or "Oh, it's about 1:30" etc.

Which is not to say anything you're saying is "wrong!" I just think it's interesting how different people think about time and watches differently. One of my favorite things about the watch hobby.
I'm not a lawyer, but I do not believe that advocating for someone to be murdered qualifies as a true threat, as long as the advocation is not likely to lead to imminent violence I believe it is in fact protected speech [1].

I had the opposite experience a few years ago: I was a new user of password managers and did not let mine autofill when booking my plane.

The air carrier form was not consistent with my country's name nomenclature: First, Middle, Last instead of First (+second and third) and Last name. I filled it wrongly and had to pay $40 at the check-in counter because there was no passenger registered to my name on the flight.

Tried again with my password manager (Dashlane) a few days later and realized that I should have trusted it. Also, I know that it only fills fields after the selected one, not those before.

Yikes. I love signal but if I handed someone my phone and they tried to install an app, even while explaining it, I'd be pretty annoyed with them. Someone else holding your phone is a pretty vulnerable place to be now a days.
I agree. I love Rails and think that it was beautifully designed for its purpose, but it's absolute hell once you start trying to integrate React and more complex frontend stuff into it through its view system (vs using it as an API and have a separate frontend).

All the ones I looked at (Cypberghost, ExpressVPN, IPVanish, Mullvad, Nord PIA, ProtonVPN, Surfshark, TunnelBear) offered OpenVPN compatible files.

The main problem is with those who can barely afford modern house prices as it is, without having to add an extra room at their own expense so their employer can cut costs.

And whilst it's possible to use a kitchen table, a large number of households (especially younger ones) need two incomes to pay their mortgage and in many roles there's no way two people can both WFH in the same room.

It's fine for established workers or those with reasonable housing, but it prices a large part of the youth out of those jobs.
Since the above isn't finished I'll toss out a recommendation.
