Traditionally speaking, anything with a "Login with facebook/google/microsoft/apple account" would break, because the cookie wouldn't be able to work across domains.

I am a drinker. I am very fond of beer, whiskey, and wine. I love the taste of all three. I have a well-stocked liquor cabinet and always have a few beers in the fridge and bottle or wine or two in the kitchen.

Even so, in the past few years, I typically consume less than one drink per week. I used to have a nightcap or a beer with dinner pretty frequently. The dinner beer tapered off because I found it made me too sleepy to be on the ball with the evening routine with the kids. The nightcaps started to feel like pointless calories.

So these days, I might have a beer or whiskey on the weekend when I watch a movie with my wife. But I rarely drink during the week, and often don't on the weekend.

Granted, part of that is from having no ability to socialize the past year. I imagine my consumption will tick up soon. But I still don't expect it to get to more than one or two drinks per week.
I think you're right unfortunately, maybe the Patriot Act will get expanded or maybe there'll be a sibling Good People Have Nothing to Hide Act.

Speaking from my vantage in the United States, I can't believe how quickly the population has become knowingly accepting and complicit with a mass surveillance culture. I'm equally concerned with how quickly ownership of purchased goods has been undermined by the server-client model of the internet. These two things are linked and fundamentally disagree with the basic premises the US believes itself to be founded on ...

It's hard to draw parallels historically in a way that gives hope. There is quite a lot of middle ground and reasonable solutions that just don't get mentioned in the political theater of today's corpocracy.

I know all this has basically become a meme on HN, but every government not following the EU's example and iterating on things like GDPR is implicitly supporting authoritarianism (if not explicitly) and setting up an oppressive future that their children will be trodden down by.

> my experience has been that most are not locals, despite what surveys say

I'm curious what that matters for? States don't have borders no? So it's not like being born in a particular state grants you anything special, I don't think you can deport people from one state to another on grounds of not being born in the state no?

> What I do think we can band together to provide is a service that matches those in need with jobs in other locations, along with bridge funding to move locations and get settled in

That's a good idea, but are there employees willing to participate in such program? And are all homeless really able too? Lots of them have mental illness or addiction issues that might prevent them from keeping a job or make them unattractive to employers.

> The West Coast cities need to enforce the law and protect the interests of actual residents, who legally reside in those cities and pay their fair share of taxes

I think this is where the "ideal" breaks appart. Enforcing the law in those case seems to be a dead end. It costs 80k per inmate on average to jail someone in California, which seems like a stupidly high cost solution, and jail doesn't seem to work to deter homelessness. So what else can be done? And that's the million dollar question right here, and nobody has found the sure fire solution yet.

I think I might have been misunderstood here. I sort of feared I would be, as I have some experience in this regard. I don't really have an opinion on what is nicer, and I also don't mind people liking their stuff, if anything it makes my happy to know.

I also agree that it is weird to compare it to a desktop. In fact, my larger point is that I feel these benchmarks, and subsequent comment discussions, tend to imply this comparison. And, I don't see the harm in then showing what those numbers would be. If power consumption isn't important, I sure would like to know.

I have I think 70 tabs open right now. 10 tabs across, 3 rows visible, plus scroll bar.

It's not about multitasking. I open every link in a new tab and generally close the tab once I've consumed that tab. For example, I opened both this article and the comments in new tabs at the same time.

Generally I close down most tabs at the end of the day.

I'm sure this redesign will again mess up my workflow.

It's always been on one line for me, and I use the default styling.
Moral panic about something insignificant when they already invited internet-connected cameras and microphones recording 24/7 that self-update and change functionality all of the time into their homes voluntarily. It seems like much a knee-jerk tantrum about nothing, and the same people will love it later when they find their keys or wallet.
It might work if your government is trustworthy, but perhaps it's trustworthy because so many people challenge it so openly. Plenty of governments cover up embarrassing parts of their history, such as the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Remember when the US government advised people not to wear masks for Covid and social media sites enforced restricting people from talking about it?

Remember when the US invaded Iraq because they saw a chemical weapons site with some kind of decontamination truck circling the yard?

Remember Edward Snowden showing that some spying that conspiracy theorists had believed turned out to be true?

Remember the Glomar Explorer?

Did you trust everything Trump said in his role as president when it conflicted with public opinion that said he was trying to hide something?

I am in the same boat with you on the number of tabs, but I love the new redesign. I am not sure how this is enough of an issue for anybody to jump browsers.
Is the design really that different?
I'd rather use Firefox and support the last independent browser.
> I thought cookies were locked per-domain since the invention of cookies

That is sort of what this mode breaks. Even if your web page on foo.com loads an image from bar.com, bar.com still cant set a cookie that it will get back next time you go to bar.com. So cookie's aren't "per-domain" any more, they are something much more complicated.

And yes, it breaks stuff .... so if for example, if you watch an embedded Youtube video on page A, youtube probably doesn't know its you and if you signed into Youtube previously as a suscriber to avoid ads guess what, you're now going to look anonymous and you'll get treated to ads even if you pay to not have them on Youtube normally.
Yes it's very similar, the scope is just vastly different. If you have the "or later" GPL clause in your license then any new version of the GPL is retroactively a valid licensing option for your code, even if it's vastly different or actually removes freedoms. If they wanted the FSF could release GPLv4 tomorrow that just says all code licensed under it is public domain, and instantly all code with the "or later" clause could be treated as public domain.
Alternate point of view made me laugh. Also true!

The speaker one threw me for a loop today and I hate it. So much harder to scan for...

Beyond that, I do not understand why the active tab cannot be "connected" to the browser chrome. I don't hate the strong shadow nor the subdued non-active tabs but the disconnect feels like an unnecessary abstraction.
Does anyone really need a "reminder" that the tabs can be dragged around...?

I don't think these UI changes are going to attract much of the Chrome userbase, but meanwhile they do have the effect of alienating a lot of the existing userbase. They look more like acts of desperation, while the marketshare continues to slowly decrease. It's sad to see.
Honest question: Why?

The massive amount of centralization in beef processing is a direct result of over-regulation of the slaughterhouses by the federal government.

I remember the day when Firefox was one of the first things so many people installed on a new Windows machine. I struggle to figure out how Firefox is going to gain marketshare today. I think the privacy features sound great but most people probably believe that the existing browsers consider their privacy as well. Google has such an advantage that they can promote Chrome to users who use their search every day multiple times a day.

I think the mobile OS Firefox attempted would have been great for them if it had succeeded.

What would make me download and use firefox today? I download and install Chrome on my mac because I feel more productive with the developer tools when I'm doing web development. When I wasn't doing any frontend work I actually stuck with Safari.
It's dishonest to conflate people who are hesitant about covid vaccines with anti-vaxxers. No amount of "listening" will change the fact that all three vaccines are untested (it will take time for manifestation and detection of possible long term side effects), and the two primary vaccines are novel technologies.

The truth of the matter is that covid vaccination has its risks and they need to be weighed against those of the virus. And when you make an honest effort to perform such an evaluation, the choice is not quite so clear cut.
Sinophobic propaganda on English speaking Internet has reached an amazing level. It's quite amazing how this can get unchecked so much.

Is this like how environmental practices, worker rights, and carbon taxes should be part of every trading agreement? And don't forget a global income tax, that should be part of the agreement, too, right?

Problem being, the EU is a net exporter while the US is the world's net importer. So the US calls the shots on the trade agreement front, and everyone lines up, hat in hand, to try to sell their surplus production to the only nation willing and able to absorb it -- the U.S.

Once the EU starts running large persistent trade deficits then it can start insisting on things in trade agreements and other nations will have to give up those juicy surpluses or agree to the EU's demands. But that's not the state of the world at the moment.
> ... (TSMC production methods are based on tech not controlled by Taiwan).

Do you mean "TSMC production methods are based on tech controlled by Taiwan", or "TSMC production methods are based on tech not controlled by China/Russia"?

Update: after reading the thread I think I understand that you meant TSMC production relies on tech/equipment from ASML, which is not controlled by Taiwan.
I quite like it actually.
Except the first vaccines mentioned require functional cold chains, which a country like Brazil does not have.

While things like the Gamelaya vaccine deserved the slagging it got, that in no way makes me any happier.

We need vaccines like the ones from China and Russia that don't require negative stupid Celsius to store and distribute so we can get everybody on this planet vaccinated.

Forgive me if these are dumb questions because I'm a programmer not a network engineer, but why are companies exposing critical information and systems to the global internet? Surely there must be a market for a physically separate and secure private network. Why in 2021 hasn't the email attachment problem been solved. Surely we can sandbox email attachments as the default and only move them out of the sandbox when the consequences of opening them are known. Why are we allowing large sums in the millions to be transferred around the world without giving law enforcement the ability to intercede?

"The reality is we need to ... support/protect our companies/agencies"

Like how we protect them from all legal consequences of loosing private information of millions of people time after time, such as recent Equifax and Facebook cases?

Or like how we allow companies to sell vulnerable routers, IP cameras, internet enables printers and phones with knows vulnerabilities at the time of release, and leave it without updates?

they are getting away with murder and you are asking for more protection for them? Maybe it's time to accept that this industry is greedy, arrogant and negligent in a way that's unmatched by almost anyone, except maybe hedgefunds.
What a horrible comment. This kind of bigotry should not be here.
Some I know of, some I'm presuming, and there are all but certainly others.

Hardlinked directories create all kinds of mischeif. That's the principle issue. It's often entirely disabled. Recursive directory trees are all kinds of fun. (Moreso than even the symlinked version.)

Given a hardlink exists, a tool which operates by 1) removing the file (deletes the local directory entry to the hardlink inode), 2) creates a new file (same name, new inode, not hardlinked), and then 3) populates that with new content, creates the issue of a presumed identical hardlink existing where that's not the case.

Hardlinks with relative directory references will reference different files, or configurations, or executables, or devices, from different points on the filesystem.

... or within different filesystem chroots.

Hardlinks might be used to break out of a chroot or similar jail. A process which could change the hardlink could affect other processes outside the jail.

As for tags: These are ... generally ... not the same as what most people have in mind as a full-text index, or at the very least, a special class of index. I'm thinking of a controlled-vocabulary generally instantiated as an RDF triple, though folksononmies and casual tagging systems are also often used.

The problem occurs when you've got a tagged data store that's being modified by non-tag-aware tools. There are reasons why that might be permitted and/or necessary, though also problematic. My sense is that robust tagging probably needs implementing at the filesystem level.
People consider risk emotionally. A Facebook post claiming their uncle’s roommate’s sister died of a JNJ blot clot (1 in a million) gets more eyeballs than yesterday’s hundreds of COVID-19 fatalities (hundreds of times the risk!)
Yes, and it's detrimental to the overall UX.

> Tabs also got a glow-up to be a touch brighter when active.

Tabs shouldn't be a touch brighter, they should be highly contrasted against inactive tabs.
I've really struggled with this for a long time. I used Excel to manage my tasks, I used emacs (org-mode), Asana, Monday.com, etc...

At one point I got fed up and designed my own Notions-like clone in Django. It supports markdown and a bunch of commands that are very specific to me, mainly around sentence-level tagging so that I can tag everything and come back to tags later when I feel like it. I find this to be the best approach... It's now a mix of bookmarking tool, to do list, and journal all in one.

To get to this point, I needed to really think intentionally and deeply about what my workflow was like. I had to observe myself and ask why I would stop using certain tools or why I would get overwhelmed.

I also had to be honest with myself: being conscientious takes time and investment... If you want to keep up with yourself and everything you're doing, you need to make time to organize yourself. I didn't really do this before.
As an expat myself with a business, this is true 100%. It has been a complete nightmare for me. GILTI / transition tax was another mess - with exemptions that were lobbied for US based businesses with foreign holdings, while the expat community got screwed over. And the main purpose of this law, apparently, was to go after mega corporations with lots of overseas wealth. But why didn't they exempt small businesses? It is a complete clusterf*ck for Americans abroad.

The problem I think is it is a really easy sell. Legislators can say "we taxed the wealthy", and everyone thinks it's great, yes the wealthy must pay and those damn corporations. Meanwhile the reality is the wealthy can lobby Washington to lessen the pain, and expats are an easy target with virtually no influence.

The icing on the cake is Obama raising the expatriation fee to $2350, and all expatriations closed for the last year. Surely it should be a basic human right to give up your citizenship?
> I can wake up later since I don't have a commute. I don't lose two hours a day due to the commute.

Commutes are also dangerous if they're by car. Not only are roadway congested, everyone is in a rush, and people are driving after just waking up and then again after a full day of work.

From a purely economic standpoint, commutes are responsible for a 10% drop in hourly wages[1].

> HN often seems to forget that Europe extends south beyond the Alps

Unclear what this is supposed to mean. Italy[0], Portugal[1] and Spain[2] all have lower prevalence of heavy episodic drinking than the EU average.

Both Portugal ("south of the Alps") and France[3] ("north of the Alps") have higher alcohol consumption per capita than the EU average, which is largely due to a culture of moderate wine drinking with meals that has nothing to do with "functional alcoholism".

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. Totally agree with you on intro/demo videos, and we're planning to create those in the coming days/weeks.

The features behind a pay wall are the “reaction ranges” for all stack sizes other than 15bb. This is the ability to put in table action and see the resulting data/strategies. Generating that data is very time consuming, requires significant computing hardware, and we continually generate more of it in order to improve the quality of the existing data sets as well as to create more of it (eg more stack sizes). The primary value of our initial offering is rooted in this data, and poker players are willing to pay for it. Historically it’s been prohibitively expensive, though, and a big goal for us was to lower the barrier and make it more accessible.

Our actual moat, though, is the technology and design. The ease of entering and changing table action, how quickly we load the data visualized in all these different ways, the combined aesthetics + logic behind the color schemes… these are the kinds of things we’ve come to expect in consumer technology but hadn’t yet reached the realm of poker tech. We believe that these aspects of Floptimal are groundbreaking within poker.
