One thing I've always wondered, and I think IETF needs to get a working group on.

Where do snitches fall in reference to handling of evilness[originally defined in RFC3514]?

Should the evil bit be set in reference to the activity of a group in isolation of the maliciousness of an implementation of a system operating on a network medium?

Example:

>A group uses a tool or protocol legitimately in the way in which it was designed [non-evil manner] to facilitate an illegal workflow [debatably evil, but at a level irrelevant to the network]. Based on RFC 3514, this group carrying out the illegal activity in a way not malicious on the to tge network SHOULD NOT set the evil bit; they are up to no mischief within the context of the network. as they are making use of hosts as they were designed to be used. A snitch within the group, however, SHOULD set the evil bit, and furthermore, if IPv6, should set the attack identifier to something appropriate since they are exploiting the implicit trust of the network in a malicious way [see RFC's 7258 and the IPv6 relevant part of 3514]

Clearly, there is intent based on related work with optical switches and routing that the evilness bit should cascade appropriately between contexts, such as there being evil lambdas, and evil polarizations, etc.... How then, does one then handle the problem of "relative evilness", in which the state of the evil bit is dependent on higher order constructs, in particular where higher order activities are directly recognized to be a form of network attack, thereby warranting the setting of the evil bit by one party or the other? Note, this issue does not just impact the criminal element, as the same setup could easily afflict law enforcement by which a snitch jeopardizes legal activity through the same attack pattern, or rogue law enforcement participating in unlawful surveillance jeopardize the safety and integrity of the network.

I believe the very future of security on the Internet and the integrity of activity mediated over it is at stake if we cannot reach a rough consensus on this topic.
When you own the group, you just kick those toxic people out like any other online community.

"You are in violation of our community guidelines, kick"

And then you ignore them. Nothing is worse than trying to hurt someone remotely, and they don't even notice you.
Australia is currently run by a conservative government and when it comes to energy generation, they are very much pro-coal and anti-renewable.

They are so pro-coal they actively argue aging coal fired plants can't be decommissioned and instead need to be refurbished so they can operate past their 'end of life' date.

Also one of their big arguments against renewable energy is their claim it isn't reliability and can't be made reliable.

It is somewhat ironic that one of those aging coal fired power plants has just brought down a large portion of the Queensland electricity grid.

And this kids is how Web ===> ChromeOS.
The lifetime/borrow-checking is the mutex. If you've got a database client that must only be used by one caller at a time, make a function that takes the client as &mut.
Hopefully they'll copy Chrome as usual and bring back RSS support.
Anecdata is andecdata. I've visited SF a ton for work/business and for tech events and never see anything that I haven't already seen in Boston, LA, DC, any major city. I've always had a great time in SF. It's beautiful, especially at night, usually pretty decent weather, great food, lots of cute girls (everyone disagrees?), a fun place to hike around especially compared to the flat midwest. I don't know if I'd pay what it takes to live decently there, but I'm always happy to travel to SF.
It is certainly possible, but not as accurate as pulse oximetry.

Bit offtopic but I fully believe that if PrEP had been discovered in the 80s that no vaccine would ever come about because public enthusiasm in conjunction with PrEP would have eradicated the disease. Nowadays, 3/5 people you ask don’t even know what PrEP is.
Yes, the legs come from people who had at most two but the people who own the body brokers now have those legs. For simplicity let's say person X is the sole owner of a body broker that sells cadavers to medical schools. If a school calls up X they may ask how many legs he has, and may give an answer like "I have 100 legs" (plus the approximately 2 legs X is likely not willing to sell).
Well, the pandemic and economic depression have certainly exacerbated things. I also doubt that tourism in most places in California will really resemble pre-quarantine times until at least June 15th.
To be honest, I think American progressivism as a whole is a bit compromised as it generally tries to accomplish its goals while first keeping the corporations pleased and second never truly taxing the rich. Further they need to consider the externalities they create. If a city or state is going to implement supportive policies, people from surrounding areas (areas not contributing to the tax base) may choose or be pressured to travel there.

This isn't to say progressivism is doomed in America or we must force socialist policies onto all outlying areas, just that the process of learning how to properly roll out socially responsible policies is still ongoing and one of the major issues is rapidly growing polarization with no interest in nuance.
For me "love" was last felt for Firefox in maybe the 2.x days, at the latest. After that it was back to "why am I still not using Opera? Oh yeah, the banner ads. Back to FF I guess, even though it's slow now". Then it was "Chrome is like FF but crashes less and the dev tools are better, also Google's only probably evil and not yet definitely evil so it's fine, now I'm a Chrome user". Then it was "Chrome and FF both make my system beachball a lot and eat a couple hours of battery life for, apparently, no good reason, guess I'm a Safari user now, sure didn't see that coming". I'm not thrilled that that's where I'm still at, but, it is.

Firefox needs to Phoenix itself to get me to like it again. It's the Netscape Navigator / Mozilla Browser it replaced, now. Or go nuts and incorporate some other Internet protocols. Maybe become the open social network browser? Anything to give me a reason to care about it again. I want to.
Do you understand the power dynamics of the business you listed in your example. Costco is a worldwide juggernaut and American Express is not the only payment gateway in business. That is not the case with iOS devices. Apples services are the ONLY OPTION, you either like it or leave. You seem to be having difficulty understanding the anti-competitive argument the trial is addressing.
Someone else mentioned that crime is at an all time low in SF, who is wrong?
Considering it's a pretty lazy way to do it anyway, Hanlon's razor probably applies, rather than any actual or attempted target-audience-appeasement.
I know my photographic rights; I was in public on public property photographing someone else on public property, which is legal in the US [1]. The only illegal happening here was theft on the part of the thief. I realize that you’re probably not based here if you think otherwise.

I’m a photographer and a distance runner and I’m good enough at both to have made money off of them. Both reactions were instinctive.

Python has a reputation as "executable pseudocode", a language that makes it easy to express the essence of what you're actually doing without clutter or ceremony. That's a worthy design goal for every language IMO.
In France for work for a week, I paid for an unlimited tourist public transport pass and had a wonderful time after work traveling into Paris from an suburb, then around in the city.
A lot of mean-spiritedness in the comments section today it seems..
Dang, could you share how many times this thread was flagged, if at all? Also, did you or another moderator have to manually unflag it?

Implicit in your comment is the idea that I’m just imagining this, like a paranoid person claiming persecution. But IME, Bay Area Indians are highly supportive of Modi and are highly active on HN. They incite a flame war, flag the thread and the thread vanishes. If a moderator comes across it, they see that there was a flame war and the flag was justified.

I get where you’re coming from - that maybe I’m overestimating the prevalence of apologists for a mass murderer. Maybe I am. But I think you are discounting how effectively they use the mechanics of HN to shut down criticism of their deity.
No. The legal system doesn't work that way.
I'm honestly pretty torn at this point which vaccine I should be going for. It seems like every week there is another article insinuating that there is some poorly understood, potentially high impact, facet of a given vaccine. Anyone else "holding out?"
I've traveled all over Asia and the above procedure is how they do it everywhere.
Did you take a bus at night?
The one time I fear for my life in Paris was in the back of a cab driven be a particularly aggressive driver.
I've spent a good deal of time on Parisian public transport and have no idea what you are talking about. This includes many trips to less desirable neighbourhoods. The worst I saw was constant pickpockets. Do you care to elaborate?
> grabbed him by his hoodie collar, and pinned him down

I was referring to the battery.

> I’m a photographer and a distance runner and I’m good enough at both to have made money off of them. Both reactions were instinctive.

The experiences and training you have had post-birth have no bearing on your innate human instinctual responses, which are shared in common with all
members of your species, including the ones that aren't runners or photographers. It is likely you meant "subconscious" or perhaps "automatic".
The upside down behaviour sounds like failure to convert coordinate systems: SVG has its y axis going down from the top left (like pixel coordinates) but EPS and PDF have their y axis going up from the bottom left (like maths plots).

There has to be a better way than dealing with EPS files in 2021 though. It's a pretty archaic format, and poorly and incompletely supported by most programs. Can you use PDF for the embedded image instead? That's what I do when generating PDFs with PDFLatex and friends.
Insurance doesn't make sense for small losses that you can pay for yourself. If you don't like the feeling of paying for stolen things, you could be your own insurance company instead, putting the regular premium into a savings account that you spend only to replace lost items. Over your whole life, it'll average out. Plus you get the advantage of better aligned interests and no profit skimmed off the top.

What insurance is good for is catastrophic costs that will probably never happen in your life but if they do, they'll ruin you. Things like crashing into a million dollar car or having your house burn down.
The best way to stop doing it accidentally is to start doing it deliberately, then the muscle memory will catch up.
Another option, also supported from within MATLAB is GPU computing, that is running the code on the GPU rather than on the CPU.

This works very well, but only for some specific types of problems.

Scientific computing is a huge field - you may find yourself needing to acquire some background in the science, in calculus, perhaps a bit of linear algebra (matrices), etc.

It can, especially since it is associated with space flight, be a great deal of fun :)

The odds are good they don't expect you to carry the science side of the project, but to work on performance and scalability of existing algorithms and methods. So, look at the existing code

- what is the scientific domain
- find an introduction or overview
- what is the mathematics being employed
- find reviews, and some more detailed material here
- what numerical methods are in use
- you will need to understand these, built on the above
- exactly how do they envision it scaling
- what are the performance issues that follow from this scaling

pretty messed up that the cops won't do anything even with a picture of the license plate on the getaway car. thieves know this which is why they continue to rob so brazenly. another consequence of growing wealth inequality. when you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose. relatedly, i moved out of sf last year after about 5 years there. i really love the geography and other aspects, but couldn't live comfortably anywhere in the bay area while saving any money even with a $200k/year tech job. who is SF for?
Police should do their job because we pay them to do it. If they're involved in some kind of work slow down because they don't agree with the prosecutors policies then they're playing a dangerous game with public safety and they should be fired.
Maybe the kind of people who use compact mode turn off usage statistics, and those who use pocket (non-accidentally) don't turn them off.
Thoughtful and constructive criticism on Proton redesign [Firefox]

What a great comment. Thanks for sharing. Self-driving cars may be in your future to enable you to get around freely.
Some mix of buses trains and subway
Ah, finally a map to escape this dreadful labyrinth
If you mean Parisian subway, i can understand, some parts are really not pretty

That said, many large hubs have been rebuilt, only some small chunks of the network are still nasty.
From a language like Modula-3 or Ada point of view, unsafe should be used only for low level system programing stuff, like passing data into DMA buffers, OS APIs, Assembly and similar.

I agree with Animats here, to work around typesystem issues means that the type system still isn't expressive enough to define certain proprieties in a safe way.
Of course the final salary is the last thing negotiated, I don't think anyone is going to argue against that point.

What job seekers are begging for is a salary range being included with the job posting. Not doing so just wastes everyone's time when the company low-balls after the 3rd interview and the interviewee walks out the door.

If you want a junior worker for a junior's salary, that's fine, there are plenty of juniors looking to get their foot in the door, but include a junior's salary range so you don't waste everyone's time interviewing someone who's never going to accept your junior offer.

If you want a senior for a junior's salary and think you'll get one by leaving the salary range blank, go pound sand.
Just a side note - it's peculiar how we use "googling" as a synonym of searching. The guy you've mentioned won't be using google and I hope he doesn't have google on the device to fetch all necessary data
SF is a very densely populated place, so that shouldn't be a surprise (if you live in NYC, I don't believe you).
Tree Style Tab does that quite well. Does it need to be built-in?
This could be interpreted as: Luxembourg policies work. We should copy them.
Tune Your PID Controller
I don't think historic STDs were a major component of the bans against promiscuity, since before syphilis was brought over from the Americas, you didn't really have life-threatening STDs around in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia (HPV's link with cancer notwithstanding).

Much more likely, the problems with promiscuity were related to 'bastard' children and their role in inheritance; and to the father's uncertainty that a child was biologically theirs. In addition, many religious outlooks favor abstinence from bodily pleasures of all kind, so forbidding sexual pleasure and especially promiscuity seems well in tone with this.
There's something about that hobby. I suspect having "all the gear and no idea" is expensive and somehow they feel entitled.
We have a steep winding road near us which is full of blind spots. On a sunny weekend you're guaranteed to encounter a line of cars unable to overtake a 50yo man on foot slowly pushing a expensive carbon frame bicycle up the hill.
I live in a very car-central part of the world, I suspect if we had actual cycle infrastructure the hobbyists would be diluted by people actually going somewhere on bikes.
Or F#, with the bonus of .NET ecosystem and IDEs.
And besides that, I've heard many times recently [1] that police and/or courts do not enforce misdemeanor property crimes at all. So it's not just that it's only a fine but rather that there are believed to be no consequences at all.

I don't understand why. I hear talk about "priorities". Perhaps it's true that it's not "worth" enforcing these because the people responsible don't have any money to pay fines. But on the other hand, I don't think police actually got defunded, so if they've de-prioritized a major chunk of their job, what are they doing instead? I have basically no idea. Extra public safety things during the pandemic? It'd be nice to think they're doing a better job closing felonies but I haven't heard any evidence of that. Are they sitting around doing nothing? I almost hope they are; my more pessimistic take is that they now can really spend extra quality time harassing minorities...

Wait, can you drive a bike without a bell at public roads in your countries? It's illegal here (and for a good reason) so you won't find a bike without a bell (or lights for that matter).
I wonder how many users who disable telemetry are also using compact mode and how many people are actually disabling telemetry.
I think what you have is an impressive technology demo but as far as a search feature, not answering your question here, but addressing something else:

People search is not something I've ever pursued or imagined being super interested in. It just feels a little stalky. I guess there are innocent uses too though as your site lays out. You could also look into ways the technology could be used or recontextualized to be less stalky-adjacent.

For example, you could focus more strictly on just public figures. Or do movie stars with their best quotes on and off screen.

Or, maybe you feel that you have ways to address what I'm saying, or that your current path is fine. Or you embrace its stalky nature and want to take that even further. Whatever way, it's up to you; I'm just one internet voice.

Good luck!
I think the biggest disparity is the lack of any meaningful mental health or addiction treatment, and the law allows people who are out of their mind to refuse treatment and die on the street.
Hopefully this gets more people to switch from their cars! This is “the carrot”. When France tried “the stick” with a fuel duty hike, it triggered mass protests.
It is hate, but worse than that, it’s tedious to read. I saw their video and thought “yep, top comment is going to be about Pocket integration” and it was. It’s the same in every thread about Firefox - someone complaining about pocket, someone complaining about tree style tabs, someone saying they shouldn’t have changed the plug-in model.

It would be nice to have some new comments for a change.
Any work we could see? I'm sure the Inkscape team are always proud when they see what their tool made.
Tree style tabs kept me on Firefox for years beyond when I would have otherwise left. Now I use Brave with an extension that does an ok job of imitating TST. I really wish FF were performant enough that I could justify using it.
it was never there with NNs.
It should be a game. Try to hit the center. 2 points for 45%-55%, 1 point for 35%-65%. And the last question should be: Do you think your score will be better than the average?
Heck, I didn’t figure out what career I was interested in until I was nearly 30. I didn’t complete my bachelor’s degree until I was 40.

28 is definitely not too old, and if you change your mind at 35, you won’t be too old then either.

I would encourage you though to figure out if you really need to pursue your interest in biology or mathematics professionally? Depending on what your interest is here, you may be able to do these as a hobby, which frees you from doing the research someone else wants you to do, rather than what you’re interested in. Your career doesn’t have to be your passion.
yes, it's useful to comment out a bunch of lines.
I'm a Cynic, not a cynic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynicism_(philosophy).
That doesn't really make much sense as a design. If they were going to return calendar dates, they'd count in calendar dates. I can't think of a reason why someone would implement something like that, it's just not how these things are designed.
The additional bit of information is that often the ticketing systems make up a non trivial fraction of the overall cost of running the transportation network. Often these systems are implemented by large international consortia who funnel money from the public. Take Melbourne for example implementation of their chip card system ran much over budget and was 1.5 billion AUD in the end [1].

That doesn't mean making public transport free always makes sense, but it would eliminate some of the large rentseekers from the system.

I’d worry that “free” creates some weird incentives that don’t exist at €0.50, but it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out
I also believe the US should become tax haven, like Luxembourg.
They say they want us to worry less.

This is now making me worry about what I do next. Will it be possible to revert this madness or is it really time to abandon Firefox?

I know that in the big picture it’s small, but a good part of why the Firefox is the UI. In compact mode, with dark theme, on Linux, Firefox is - for me - the ultimate browser UI that just gets out of my way.

This new “modern” look is oversized, distracting and wastes space. Nobody’s asked for it and the blog post wording really sounds like trying to justify change for the sake of it.

Sad times. What has happened to Mozilla?

Am I making too much of it? Maybe, but it’s certainly not making me “worry less”. It’s filling me with dread. And from the other responses here and on Reddit, it’s clear Mozilla is out-of-touch with it’s biggest users.

Luxembourg is a tax haven. That's why their gdp numbers are artificially inflated.
I've been using Firefox on Wayland for the past year or so. There are still some minor hitches here and there, but it's very usable right now.
Whatever you will do, make sure to have a plan to deliver it peace-meal in successive releases. I am currently in the process of reworking the data model of a moderately complex application, and it has proven to be very risky and to take an insanely long time to do it all at once.
Many people who I know switched to Chrome because I told them to.
Sure, had a transfer between buses at night. Some sort of gang warfare was going down. People chasing after each other, throwing bottles and fighting. I'm going to assume was some sort street gang clashing, because thats exactly what it looked like.
Is crime in San Francisco reported in a lower percentage than in other places? That sounds weird, why should?
