There have definitely been some really nice features shipped in other browsers, or by other vendors, in the past. Timing is often a curious element. I wonder if Hello might have found more success if it were introduced in 2020-2021, given the great exodus of people from offices, schools, etc., and their increasingly heavy reliance upon the Web to remain in touch.

I'm excited for our launch of Brave Talk in part due to the timing, but also for the technology, and the team behind the effort. WebRTC has come a long way, and the additional encryption options offered are really appealing.
This will take approximately eternity for difficult problems, such as management changing their mind every day.
The easier way to attack this is by instituting a know your customer law for phone systems including prepaid SIMs, combined with accomplice charges for anyone who's SIM is used in connection with criminal acts.

I have been thinking about this idea for a couple of months, there are benefits and synergies if a company can consolidate all remote workers for multiple companies in different jurisdictions and turn them into employee by proxy if you will. If someone would like to have a chat and brainstorm on this (especially the OP), please leave your email and I’ll reach out.
You seem upset.
As an employee, if you consistently deliver measurable and outsized impact, you get high ratings and promotions that will increase your pay dramatically.

And as freelance developer, how do you know you're not underpaid? For example, a client offered you $x to build a system, how do you know that's a fair amount without market data?
>Brave's ... filter lists are all developed in the open and are heavily customizable, as well.

As are so, so many of the filter lists developed by "maintainers [I've] probably never met." Every list I've added to my pihole is fully readable and customizable.
I'd argue we do need a proprietary standard to make move the IOT market from a pipedream to reality.
Hi Guidii!

I think it's fair enough that there's "spec bugs" and understand the constraints you/they were working in trying to cover both CSS transitions/animations. I prefer browser APIs low level enough to build opinionated libraries around!

Individual transforms for me doesn't go far enough, I haven't been involved in spec discussions but I'm surprised they stopped at transforms and not axes. Think throwing an element - x/y would want different animations based on the gesture velocity. I'm not sure composite works well with transform as its order-dependent, the behaviour is itself not well supported cross browser, though maybe composite+individual transform offers promise in the future.

On the state of implementation in general, I am using this project to file bugs to help get some eyes on WAAPI and so far I've opened 4 in Webkit and none in Blink so there's no worries there :)

Thanks for wpt.fyi - I have bumped into it but I should use it to pre-empt some of these bugs.

The polyfill is just for running tests in Jest. It's actually a little beaten up in terms of implementation and this has worked quite nicely as Chrome even in modern phones seems to not support finished so its helped my polyfill(er)s target those bits too.

Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate it.

Ledger wallets support U2F and are copiable. There's someone who's building an OSS hardware token that's also copiable (you can flash the same seed to as many hardware tokens as you want).

The protocol is open, though, so in theory you could semi-easily make your own FIDO2 key out of commodity hardware. The Solo 2 Hacker edition might also be copiable.
10x engineers most certainly exist, I've had the fortune of being able to work with a few and their true impact isn't in the code they themselves write but in the higher-level strategic/architectural decisions they make that impact the team as a whole. That being said it is also my experience that most self-described 10x engineers are anything but, so if one bases their impression of 10x engineers off those self-promoting cases then I can see how it would appear to be a myth
I am, of course, not naive enough to think that there's a good chance of it happening -- but I nevertheless strongly feel this way about every large tech company that isn't Microsoft not mentioning that they use Linux.
How effectively can you actually shop for medical care? Providers lobby against public measures of effectiveness so basically only payers have enough data to actually judge who is effective and people scream when their doctor choice gets restricted for any reason.
I didn't think they did those anymore. True, though, they've tried endless very slimy business models - anything that works until they get caught or called out.
It's not 50kbps per device, I would agree that could be manageable. It's 50kbps for the each channel (of which there are a limited number) that's serving a 5-20km radius.
Or every species consumes its planets resources on phones and cars, imploding the environment before the necessary engineering feats to get them to the stars come along.

My money is on it being too infeasible engineering wise due to resource exhaustion just building the infrastructure to get there. The carbon feedback loop creating disposable junk is destabilizing stable human climate.

I lean towards the idea we’ll have to move away from industrialism at the scale we apply it today.

Perhaps synthetic drugs can grow neuron structure that mimics the experience. Or helps acquire muscle memory from skills based work.

Trip balls on the couch for 20 minutes and live life believing I just got from Mars Base 1 and have Zappa opening for me wouldn’t be so bad.

I did it on two old MBAs in under an hour, never tried with the touch bar mac.

My 2016 touchbar MBP13 still has an excellent battery though.

Also, amortised over 3-4 years of use I don't really see why it matters if it takes 1 or 3 hours. I'll take a 2 mm thinner computer any day.
Fair nit, my friend. I did not know that.
The GIF in the article shows it opening a shell and piping in an inline script that is just an exit command. There's nothing stopping you from piping in your own arbitrary bash commands and executing them, including commands to download a more complex malicious executable payload from the internet and execute it.

Agreed. I curated my friends and family and who I follow and now it's more pleasant to use.
https://explorer.helium.com

the helium network viability is that using the network doesn't burden the consumers with the cryptocurrency's fluctuations in price or necessarily dealing with it at all. Consumers are able to use Data Credits which have a fixed price, creating data credits (DC) destroys the HNT token - of which the consumer or their future ISP will have to buy/acquire Helium tokens to do. So it creates a decent incentive for providers to build and expand the network (to earn HNT) and also a demand side as consumers (or their ISPs) to buy and destroy helium to create DC.

The antenna/routers do not use much energy and instead rely on a geographic distance which determines if they earn more or less HNT based on the coverage they are providing to the network.

They are always two sides for the story.

So how did they harass? They told about harassment against their employees by Brendan Eich. I guess the main question is whether that is harassing. Brendan Eich did the same publicly against his employees.
In this situation that would leave you open to network analysis and location analysis, even if no payloads were decryptable.

Using enough data warehousing and artificial intelligence, eventually some algorithm would notice that every time some dude gets a phone call, next month the same boat gets a bill for servicing its water intakes, and a month later coke supply increases in .au decreasing the price. Might take a few times, but someone's getting caught.

The best part is if they go in shooting on a warrant and kill some random completely uninvolved people, it was all an algorithm's fault and nobody is to blame and I guess we just need more police involvement and surveillance to prevent future tragedies.
Sort of? As we're seeing with the pandemic, a not insignificant portion of the population is so used to healthcare being utterly inaccessible that animal medication seems like a reasonable alternative. That $16,000 pill isn't getting to patients, people are simply dying without it instead, going to faith/crystal "healers" instead.
> You've got a lot of recent comments on HN for this to be true. I think you use social media a lot more than you think you do, and it could be impacting you in ways that you don't notice.

Ah so you're that kind of user.

Semantics. I don't consider HN social media, when I say social media I mean instagram, facebook, etc. I consider HN a forum like reddit or other places. My usage of forums is a way to kill time when I'm at work.

> How do you know that? This isn't something you can typically know for your self with any degree of confidence.

Speak for yourself. Maybe you can't typically know this for yourself, but I can. And more importantly, if you're not coming into this exchange in good faith and willing to trust my claims, then any chance of reasonable conversation is gone. I'll be wrapping up my end of our conversation here, thanks.
In fact, if you have qemu-user-static installed and binfmt configured properly, it will likely just work.

Lets avoid forcing them to do that. Wireless charging sucks in any situation that requires speed or efficiency (e.g., external batteries). I’d also prefer not to liquify my battery due to loss to heat during fast charging.
The Capital Paradox
I haven't seen an exodus from my company, but there must be a larger one - as I've had a huge pipeline of new candidates lately that is great.

Others have mentioned a few things you can do and they seem to match with what my company has done:

1. Review salaries, pay more fast, retain who you have, there's a razor's edge and although money isn't everything it will definitely help in the very near term while you figure out other retention approaches.

2. Go fully remote. A lot of people want to be in offices, but very few will actually go given the option _right now_ - our office is empty, even when it's optionally allowed open. Pay consistent salaries. Let someone else figure out that regional salary stuff when the dust settles.

Another thing that seems important, but may just be a trend at my company: get specific with career development.

People joining your company now want to know how you will care for them long term. A large reason in my opinion for the exits is that folks are not willing to accept a company treating them like a contractor perpetually. They want to be invested in, see concrete growth and advancement. This is harder to do at small startups, but it's important for people to feel safe/stable during a weird criss.
> We never replaced ads.

How can you be so disingenuous? You removed ads, then introduced your own advertising. You may see those as two separate events, but the consequence is the same as if you had chosen to replace ads.

> but I imagine that ARM64 will have helped with architecture-neutrality.

What would have helped a lot more here is the default emulator in Android Studio is currently, and has been for a while now, x86. Since of course x86 to x86 virtualization is a lot faster than ARM to x86 virtualization.

ARM64 didn't do much to help with architecture-neutrality just like X86_64 didn't.
I'm paranoid about putting a password into the clipboard. Some OS's keep a clipboard history or some users have software that does this.

Another worry is that some app ecosystems provide a way to read my clipboard over their permission model. With this permission in hand, surveillance capitalists will include it as part of their fingerprinting techniques. So even if you trust those platforms, you also have to trust the packet headed their way and what they do with it.
The irony is that the people who do the central work for the business, academics at the University, engineers designing the next products, even factory workers often are often cost centres. This leads to the somewhat perverse insentive to remove more and more of your central workers to hire managers and administrators.
I don't understand why US healthcare providers are allowed to charge different customers a different price for the same service or good.

As this is clearly being systematically abused to extract the most wealth from patients and insurance companies, is anyone seeking to require healthcare providers to not provide such variable pricing?
I love how asking people why they are leaving is not on the list. Instead it's gathering metrics and data. If you treat people like numbers, that's sort of the explaination right there. Anything to avoid actually building a working relationship.
That’s one case. It doesn’t apply to all criminal organizations. The cartels in Mexico are sophisticated enough to build their own cell networks [1] to evade wiretapping. Why couldn’t they also recruit engineers to build their own crypto and secure protocols?

Same here, and same with most people I know. I'm from the generation that got Facebook in ~2005, when you still needed a university email to sign up. It was definitely helpful for socializing at college, especially the almighty "relationship status" field. Fond memories. It's useless to me now except for seeing friends' photos, but Instagram is better at that anyway.

I imagine it's changed for the same reason loot boxes/gacha have taken over normal paid DLC or expansion packs: whales are more profitable. It's better for Facebook, Twitter, etc. if they have a fewer people engaging with the platform for 12 hours per day instead of more people for less time; the highly engaged people are creating the content, seeing the most ads, and interacting with the most items on their news feed, which leads to a more accurate user profile and better targeted ads.
If you do roll your own and you’re not a high value target (aka there aren’t a lot of assets they can seize or are a notorious criminal) nobody is going to take the time to bust open your homegrown setup. Security by obscurity is powerful. There is a reason why Wordpress sites get hacked a lot: the exploit has a lot of leverage with 1/4 to 1/3 of the public web using it.
> Unixs and Apples have also always relied on passwords as a first authentication method.

Nowhere have I seen anyone primarily relying on passwords (unless they didn’t have a clue.) Everyone is using PKI.
No, we never replaced ads on websites with our own; and no, we made nothing from the binance.com/.us autocomplete bug (no other URLs, no links in pages) getting affiliate codes.

Be careful what misinformation you parrot. It doesn't help anyone looking for better privacy products or trustworthy commenters.
>Privacy Badger is fine but breaks things too often.

I know it's a bit of a tangent from the topic at hand, but I'm really curious what Privacy Badger has broken for you? I (and all the staff at my office) have been using it basically since release, and not once has the root cause of a website not working properly been Privacy Badger.
Really enjoyed this post and explanation, thank you! I work in ML and used to live on Alma St in Palo Alto so it really hit home for me :).

I also acutely enjoy the notion that a pithy critique of people who refused to simplify the problem they were solving is in itself grossly oversimplified!
I think the comment I responded implies that, more than mine. I'm writing this in Firefox, and I suspect that it is probably actually more secure in some nebulous sense just because they don't have any need to comply with shady characters like Google. But the particular advantage highlighted doesn't seem so great.

> Great chess players beat amateurs at least 99 times out of 100 so must also be 10x in comparison.

Absolutely. Chess is very hierarchical. I would say true amateurs will literally never beat a grandmaster, and high school champion-level (not prodigies though) can only beat a grandmaster if the grandmaster plays very weakly (vastly underestimating them, not truly playing their best, or having their guard really, really down).
You could always link some news article on the FBI abuses.

The Greek poet Archilochus said "We don't rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training." Everyone imagines how they would do everything right when the adrenaline has been dumped into their system and lives are on the line, but that just doesn’t happen. When it really counts, we don’t perform better. We perform much worse. Most of what makes Special Forces special is that they train, a lot. Then they train some more.
Why? I'm excited that a billon dollar company is not treated differently than an indie. I would have hated to negotiate specific terms with Apple and get a bad deal like the way it happens with cloud providers, for example.

IMHO, if the commission of Apple or any other rule is to be changed, it should change for everyone(a regulation maybe?). I hated it when Epic simply steamrolled the external payment rule. I don't like others getting away with stuff simply because they can, I find it unfair.

Apple could have let it happen, then maybe a few more giants like Netflix, Google and Amazon would have done and as a result we would end up with 2 tier business environment, like the way it is for most of the stuff outside of the AppStore.

Interesting. I find that very few people care enough about what other people make to put any effort into deciphering such clues.

And wealthy people around here don't tend to offer many. Being flashy is considered a bit trashy.
Ken Burns Says Current Times ‘Equal’ to Civil War, Depression and World War II
Apparently it’s the ‘professional’ way to do it, and it’s pretty terrifying if you’re a potential target of someone with the resources and desire to do something like this. It is almost impossible to defend against, except perhaps by making the consequences of attempting or succeeding not worth the cost to anyone who might be interested and able. I think this is generally the US approach, but looking at the past it clearly isn’t 100% successful.

The US Secret Service has had several folks who aren’t worried about consequences sneak through and severely injure - or depending on your pet theory regarding JFK - kill presidents.
> This is either decentralized in name only or vulnerable to Sybil attacks.

The Helium network does a variety of things to mitigate sybil attacks by requiring/incentivizing geographic distance between the routers.

There are other proof-of-coverage systems where all of your criticisms would apply, such as MXC (the hotspot version, not the exchange) as they do allow individuals to just hoard a bunch of hotspots in one place and try to earn, reducing the health of the network. You should reserve your judgements for the ones doing it wrong and compare it to the ones doing it right or at least differently.
Stories in 40 Words or Less
Helium fan here.

I think a deeper dive is warranted on what and how they are "paying" people. Helium tokens are used as an incentive to bootstrap a network, but in the future part of payment for network services like you mentioned. I think this is one of the purest uses of crypto... less as currency replacement but more sharing in a network's future.
> but lets remove the whole trust/ ad thing.

Huh? Trust is what it all comes down to! You are trusting them with your data and access to your devices.

Brave is the last browser company I would trust (based on their record) and to me that it the key.
Very few hospitals do cost-accounting, so they don't even know how much things cost; this results in the inconsistencies you see in prices.

From Wikipedia:

>"In 2003, of the roughly 3,900 nonfederal, short-term, acute care general hospitals in the United States, the majority—about 62 percent—were nonprofit. The rest included government hospitals (20 percent) and for-profit hospitals (18 percent)"

I hope you're strongly /s, because if HTTPS being used as transport is enough to rubber-stamp a warrant, then this is in practice a blanket agreement to surveil all communications on the Internet.

We never replaced ads on web pages. The binance.{us,com} auto-complete affiliate code was a bug and we renounced any (tiny) revenue that might come from it.

I think it's slimy to do what you just did. Why'd you do it? We didn't do the first thing you said, and we shipped and then fixed the bug on the second. I don't see how you can excuse your action.
From this Linux (formerly Windows from a looong time ago) guy this looks dreadfully silly and annoying. Files and folders, y'all.
"Well, in the case of a meticulously managed collection, I'd expect the files to have correct metadata."

WAV files don't have metadata like mp3 files (typically) do.

I'm not saying I copy the uncompressed wav collection to my phone (~700 GB) but I am saying that my original metadata schema has all of the metadata in the filename:

Last, First - AlbumName - 01 - SongName - 3m25s.mp3

... and yes I could parse and reencode all of these populating their mp3 tags with these fields but, man ... what a load of work just because iTunes can sort by 50 different attributes just not filename:

Just take all of the money you'd otherwise spend on dental care and put it into a savings account or FSA.

I've never seen a dental insurance plan that actually makes financial sense. Most of them place significant limits on expensive and unlikely care, and cover routine care with little or no cost sharing. Insurance is a highly inefficient way to pay for expected expenses.
