You can’t test all error cases end to end. If you can you have shitty error handling.

Clock skew between servers? Drifting clock skew? Disk space exhaustion? Disk space exhaustion at each possible failure point? There are so many of these and you’re going to inject most of them in unit tests.

My original point was that if you can’t write good unit tests your e2e tests are also going to be lousy, and you will never get good at either, let alone both, if you fixate on more coverage with E2E tests.

They’re also just too damned expensive even if they were qualitatively as good. Which they are not. They are less numerous, sure, but that’s false economy because they are usually 3 orders of magnitude slower.
This article is crap:
1) Claimed redirection from .onion to .com does not deanonymize the user.
2) Protonmail does provide e2e encryption. It's just that you auto-update your client (a JavaScript app) every time you visit the website, so you have no chance to discover potential targeted backdoors.
If you're talking about the working poor:

1. they often have multiple jobs since many jobs on the lower end don't pay a living wage.
2. they have longer commutes so they live in less expensive communities where their wages can go further. But those communities tend to have less available jobs overall.

So, on average, yeah. Less free time for the working poor.
As a sanity check: fat is around 9 kcal per gram. In a day you use around 2000 kcal of energy or 222 grams of fat. Protein and carbohydrates are around 4 kcal per gram.

The numbers are in the right ballpark.

Watching television is not free time that can be switched out for other activities. Much of the television watching happens after the kids have gone to sleep as a wind down activity. Also popular is tv before work in the background on a morning show or tv in the background while cooking or cleaning.

Trying to teach your kids how to read or reading them a story cannot happen when much of the tv is consumed.

> You can't call your license FOSS if the code isn't entirely gratis to run and distribute.

you're introducing some confusion here: first, OSI doesn't define FOSS, just their subset of OSS;

and someone can offer to sell you, and you can buy and then resell, FOSS code (both Free (GPL according to FSF et al) and Open Source (BSD, MIT, according to OSI et al)); you are simply not required to pay extra ex post for reselling.

from OSI webpage https://opensource.org/osd

"1. Free Redistribution

The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale."

> All you're really saying is that there need to be better, lighter batteries, which is true.

We need batteries that store energy in less weight and volume than the most efficient ICE compatible fuels, which is unlikely to ever happen. BEV is therefore a non-starter for cutting edge super and hypercars.
What arguments? I didn't see any. But perhaps the following will help:

> HN (Y Combinator) has an incentive to curb posts that could potentially make China angry.

We have no such incentive and people post such things all the time (if by China you mean the Chinese government).

> Being a forefront Silicon Valley investment company, they have to play the globalist game.

Short answer: no we don't. Longer answer: whatever "globalist game" means, I've never encountered the slightest reference to this kind of thing in the years I've worked for YC.

> Therefore, I suspect there may be policies in place, whether spoken or unspoken to

I think this is their extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i2p-in-privat...

Updated two months ago. The forum post is from late August. They still haven't been able to update it. Evidently, app stores suck even when maintained by well meaning people.

The latest update in the thread, nine days ago, is pure corporateese: Hi @zephyr, unfortunately we don’t have a lot more we can share at the moment. However, I’ll talk to the team and see if there are any updates for next week.
Where I live (Finland) hybrids on the other hand retain their value the best, with diesels being the worst. The fuel savings are so significant that people do flock to them.
I want to give mine too, because I really appreciate how well it works for me. I built a Chrome extension and it runs fine on Firefox with 0 changes since Firefox supports the exact same browser APIs. When I was developing with Chrome, I had to manually upload my extension each time I updated it. web-ext reloads the browser for me automatically - you do have to take care to avoid duplicating the DOM since it doesn't reload the tab.
Not sure why system time is so critical but it seems like a reasonable expectation.
I only use Youtube in incognito mode to avoid the Youtube algorithm and recently I think they have started to preserve suggestions between incognito sessions. Not in the way the algorithm usually works, but much more subtly. It's probably some minor region-based suggestion that triggers but who knows. In the future I think all algorithm driven content sites will use uniquely fingerprinted undeletable algorithmic suggestions. Companies are leaving money on the table by letting users reset the state on algorithms that increase content consumption.
The evidence that cholesterol is implicated in heart disease is quite strong.

For one thing, people with genetic predisposition to very high cholesterol get heart disease early and die, and are now successfully treated with cholesterol-lowering drugs.

For another, people who are at risk and take statins have fewer heart attacks (strong evidence), and live longer (limited evidence).

It's likely true that we don't fully understand the dynamics, other factors may be implicated, stress, hormones, microstructure of coronary arteries.

But I would caution against 'deciding not to believe' things about which there is a great deal of empirical work and a medical consensus.

Small dense LDL and triglycerides may be better biomarkers for CVD than the typical calculated LDL-C.

Calcium scans starting in middle age may be a good idea for people with CVD in the family or higher than normal cholesterol. Then if arteries are getting blocked you can consider dietary intervention, drugs, bypass before a heart attack.

Life is variable. Perhaps for some decades of your life you’ll have more time for this ritual while this person might be thrown into some circumstance which takes the opportunity away.

Like another person here who can’t find the time due to young children in the house, I spent years fantasizing about disappearing into a book but I was too tired, too overworked, and constantly playing catch-up with kids and the home. These days I read just about every night to fall asleep. Maybe as my kids get older I’ll find time to read during the day a bit more too. Or maybe not.

I mean to say this stuff isn’t static, and one person's rare indulgence is another’s routine. It doesn’t mean much. And it will probably change.
I love mailbox but they do not offer Monero payments (not even Bitcoin) and so are not suitable as a privacy email. Sending cash via snail mail is really too much of a hassle, especially if you own multiple nyms.
I really don't understand the confusion.

Incognito prevents the browser from remembering the things you do locally to the browser itself. The browser, any browser, cannot control what the server does. The browser cannot block whatever javascript you have allowed it to run. All it can do is block javascript. You log into a server while in Incognito doesn't mean the server won't know you logged in (wtf?).

Icognito basically means your SO won't see your browser history, and that's about it.
Lawns are not so bad east, with it's plentiful water. The real scourge is the driving.

Suburbs are fundamentally more like cities than agricultural rural ares in terms of the interdependence / non-self-reliance of housing units. (No, your aspirational basement workbench that isn't used to satisfy basic needs count for much.) They offer a simulacrum of rural life to, originally, white flighters, that doesn't count for anything.

Giving the need for transport, and the great distance everything is from everything else, driving is unavoidable. What gets sacrificed then is the spontaneous interactions with other human beings and tiniest casual trips, as the big essential stuff saturates the road's and peoples time for traveling.

It's a terrible way of life.

All of those are horrible ideas:

1. So you're saying only Google is the publisher that specifically gets notified when you use incognito mode. That actually would be a real, concerning privacy violation in my opinion.

2. But the whole point is that it is not just Google who "specifically keeps tracking you". It's any server software out there that keeps logs. The warning Incognito Mode has now is much more correct and accurate that some sort of "Google specific" one would be.

3. That's just dumb. It's a Google product, why shouldn't it have Google branding.

The problem here is we have an example in history of how this pays out... the POTS phone system.

As more and more people moved off of POTS to wireless carries, the cost to maintain the system went up, and the willingness of the telco;s to maintain it dropped. Now to the point where in many areas you can not get a Plain Old Telephone line at all, even if you need it for something like an Alarm system, medical device, etc.

The same will happen for fiber I am afraid and everyone will just be left with mediocre fixes wireless only good for web browsing and email

There is none. Email is insecure by design and it will always remain that way. Even if you develop something secure (whatever that may be), you still have to communicate with other email providers that are not gonna implement your security features.

GPG is a slight improvement that you can use on top of any provider and it will encrypt the content of emails (and content only, metadata will still be there and even subject lines in certain implementations), but both you and the recipient will have to use it and good luck convincing non-IT people to deal with its absolutely atrocious user experience.

In other words, treat it like a physical mailbox. Good enough for various notifications, useless if you're trying to protect anything valuable in it.

> I've personally changed my opinion on this in the last ~2 years ... observing at work what it takes for people to stand up and manage a Kubernetes platform it really just feels like incredible waste that we have hundreds and thousands of SREs across our industry all building their own unique compute platforms when the public cloud vendors have already done that work.

I wasn’t suggesting standing up K8s from scratch, but rather extending GKE or EKS or similar with things like cert-manager snd external DNS.

I was skeptical coming from a shop that was deeply invested in AWS and serverless, but Kubernetes has a lot less friction and the abstractions can be pretty high level. For example, we can create a service with HTTPS, fully managed certificates, reverse proxy, and DNS just by creating an ingress resource for that service. It’s a lot nicer than cobbling together ACM, Route 53, API Gateway, etc (even though I have plenty of experience with the latter). A lot of this is possible because Kubernetes is extensible and there’s a big ecosystem for it. AWS isn’t (particularly) extensible, so you end up depending on them to support your use case. When you have a competent SRE team managing your platform and providing high level abstractions, Kubernetes kind of feels like what serverless promised to be—much more so than AWS’s serverless offerings (and I still like AWS!).
Who are you emailing? Do they practice the same email security practices that you do?
You're comparing a car built, as far as I can tell, for a single lap with no formula (i.e. anything goes) to a LeMans 24 hr car.

Also, the full 22.8km Nordschleife record is Niki Lauda's in a 45 year old Formula (i.e. w/ rules) F1 car - 6:55. The VW's record is for the 20.8 km circuit. No F1 car has raced either the 20 or the 22 km Nordschleife since Lauda's crash. An any F1 car since the mid 90s would demolish any track record for any configuration of the track.
> I don’t even know what the Incognito Mode opponents even wanted. Built-in free VPN service? Total removal of Incognito Mode?

Agreed. I think this is a case of individual users deriving their own set of functional requirements and assumptions on what it means to be in "Incognito mode", which many people will have a differing opinion on, rather than a specific issue with the functionality provided by the browser.

If it can't be called Incognito mode, I am not sure what other positioning or branding can be applied. There is merit for the current feature set, and gating those features until a significantly high bar is met seems unreasonable.

I mean, the browser apis are close (and Mozilla still has much better documentation) but there are a LOT of edges cases where behavior diverges.

Frankly - I'm a little peeved that Optional permissions in Firefox are STILL broken - The prompt can only be triggered in response to a user action, and Firefox blows the fuck up if you put a promise anywhere in between the user click and the call to the api. Which is hugely ironic, since Mozilla is the one pushing to move all the webext APIs to be promise based (and provides a nice helpful library for Chrome/Edge/Safari support: https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill) which... doesn't work on their platform. Doubly ironic, since the result is that most FF extensions just ask for more permissions up front, which is exactly the opposite of what you'd want in the "secure/private" world Mozilla claims they're pushing towards.
