Except it shouldn’t be up to the device makers to delete your “account”. It should be up to you. What’s stupid is the current system, where you bought an e-book and they can delete it from under your nose at any time.

There are three pieces, in fact:

1) The device keys - they should never leave the device

2) YOUR private keys - which you should be accessing and managing from multiple devices, and you can have many of these

3) User accounts on networks. This is where you actually authenticated some sessions, and they shouldn’t contain most of your personal info, only info necessary to operate the service.

For example at our company, we have a way for websites to display your name and friends back to yourself, while having no idea what they are. You can manage multiple identities across many services, and choose which to share with friends, and which not, and everything is automated so the Web turns into a social network:

The single largest benefits of Firefox to me is that it's privacy friendly and open source. If the first thing you have to do when installing this "privacy friendly" software is to disable a bunch of privacy invading features, what's the reason to not just use a fork instead? And if you're going to use a fork, why not just use open-source Chromium instead? What arguments are left to the benefit of Firefox, fighting web standard hegemony by picking one privacy-hostile option over the other?
Yes, your program will have different semantics on different architectures. This is already the case with e.g. big vs little endian. But you will be able to reason about the program's semantics rather than going "I sure hope there's no UB in here" and throwing your hands up.
Its a self-feeding system since it prints its own money which is used to buy "real money" which is then destroyed.

This might be questionable and thankfully we have non-PoW/PoS systems that dont do this but the whole Ponzi thing is just nonsense. Its entirely irrelevant if it matches some (your/anyones) definition of a Ponzi or not. Just to usual click-bait "bitcoin very bad" title that gets the HN people all existed to up-vote it.

Yes, bitcoin is garbage tech, but all the hate posts will only push it further. People should focus on systems that do the same as bitcoin but without the "bad". There is a multi billion dollar demand that does not go away. A little bit education about FBA systems would reduce the resource wasting from PoW by a lot and all without taking away the peoples freedom to gamble with "digital money".
I sometimes wonder whether assembly code would even be considered "scary" today if IBM had picked the Motorola 68000 instead of the Intel 8088 for their PC.

The x86 instruction set was a cobbled-together mess from day one, while 68k assembly coding was pure joy because of its elegant and consistent instruction set.

Man, everytime I see this kind of toolkits I think about the pain the developers have to go through to implement proper text display and editing .. especially with unicode and multiple different languages and input styles.
Has there been any update on the Great Klabazon Schism of a month or so ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28513130)? It felt like that was the start of a protracted 'leaking against' campaign, but then nothing really came of it.
That's for generating collisions, not preimage resistance. It's not particularly easy to reverse.
Even assuming the 5% number were correct (depending on how expansive your optimisations with UB assumptions are, it may not be), asking everyone who doesn't adjust their compiler flags to accept their programs being silently miscompiled for some theoretical benefits is at odds with economic reality.
From the perspective of Apple and their users, does it really matter whether the backend an app relies on is owned by the developers of said app or not? The experience around and ramifications of account creation and deletion are the same regardless. Which obviously can be a pain for third-party devs.
Functionally there are only two browsers, and they are both terrible. As such, it has to be no. The options you have are reskins of those two browsers or browsers that miss big features and are therefore a PITA to use (I'm looking at you, Safari).
Thanks for compliment!!

We're launching it in first week of November.
Good, I recently had the displeasure of trying to find a specific Audiobook while on my phone on holiday. Every Audiobook app/service games the system with Google keywords when you do a Google search for the Audiobook indicating that they have the book when they either don't or don't in the specific region you're in. So I ended up with 3 or 4 of these apps and accounts with no Audiobook and no way to delete my account from within the app, you have to then figure out for each one which hoops to jump through on their website or contacting support to have your info removed.
No one ever made money on Xtool or Uharc and as we near the theoretical math limits, matching the use case becomes more important than the algorithm. Inferior rar and winzip became widespread due to piracy and cashed in on the corporate clients. At the end of the day, the person who pays calls the shots, not the person on the receiving end; unless it's a monopolist... Oh, and by the way, in case of the market doughnuts are in people usually do indirectly make money on keeping the _amounts_ of the ingredients secret such as playing with the amount of butter used versus the sales price since consumers/intermediaries don't experience it the way you ( as the person selling it ) feel it in your wallet.
Haha!!

Maybe that can be a use case!

Snapchat publicly addresses fentanyl crisis
First the income levels he is talking about in the middle class can easily pay for the life style you are talking about both in my area, and the region the Professor is from (PA) so I am not sure what you believe the middle class is

Second it does not matter where you place the income bands, the fact of the matter is people are making more money today then they did in the 1970's out pacing inflation which factors in things like housing prices. People today can afford MORE than people in 1970's did

In some ways the cost of netflix is what people are complaining about, it is sad you discounted everything said simply because you misunderstood the point he was making.

As to education people should be upset not with the cost of education but with the evaporation of good paying jobs that do not need an education. No society can last if the education system can not produce employable workers in 12 years of schooling. The fact that employers are requiring an additional 4 years for the vast majority of good paying jobs shows a clear problem with our government run educational system, so simply adding on 4 more years to the government paid system is likely not going to resolve that problem. However the only thing people are demanded today is free college not fixing the K-12 system so employers will recognize a high school diploma as enough education for the majority of their positions

To close I bet you can find a region, like silicon valley, where this data does not apply, but for the US on the whole people are better off, and if Silicon valley is where people are worse off then maybe it time to move away from the poop ridden streets and come to middle America where things are much better...

> they need money

They don't need money, they have an almost unthinkable amount of capital. If they'd kill all their stupid side stuff and fire that weird shark at the top they could develop this browser for a long time. In fact, instead of firing the servo team that is what they should have done instead of this alienating and frankly extremely problematic policy shift.
So the simple possibility is rigid docking to get a surface between proteins. As with everything in biology, things can be more complicated.

For example, from here :

https://elifesciences.org/articles/22889

it starts with:

>Many eukaryotic regulatory proteins adopt distinct bound and unbound conformations, and use this structural flexibility to bind specifically to multiple partners

In other words, binding of a protein to another can change its shape (conformation).
Yeah I'm sure it was a genuine installation. See this: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=99040
Thanks for correcting me, but I don't think drawing a distinction between "anti-prime" (clearly specific) and "highly composite" (vague) is counterproductive. On the other hand, "highly" and "largely" mean roughly the same thing, so treating "highly composite" and "largely composite" as distinct in this way is linguistically counterintuitive and counterproductive. Likewise, "weakly highly" reads like ambiguous nonsense when you don't go out of your way to specially define it.
If S3 was down, R2 would be up but the rest of your app on AWS would probably be down in the affected (based on the cascading failures in prior S3 outages) so most AWS users are going to be down.

If R2 was down and you didn’t rely on anything else that relied on R2, sure, you could repoint DNS and/or issue S3-direct URLs and then clean it up on the way back out.

“Additional options” doesn’t come without “additional complexity” and that complexity has a cost.

R2’s a great cost-saving move here; I don’t think it’s a reliability improvement generally.

> Mostly independence from the whims of platform owners who control the distribution

Agreed, however platforms that restrict app distribution also heavily restrict what you can run via the browser (see Ios). So the benefit is minimal.

This has nothing to do with web. Look at steam's catalog. Plenty of whacky quirky stuff is available.

Why do you think AAA games will not need downloading assets and logic?

> This is much more important for indie devs than AAA devs though

I agree, but this is a solved problem with Steam. No need to develop your own over the web.

Signal is run by a known angry dictator. The same goes for Mozilla. These companies don't mean well for users, they mean well for themselves. The rest is the narrative sauce that they abuse to insert themselves into a specific niche.

An app may not store credentials or tokens to social networks off of the device and may only use such credentials or tokens to directly connect to the social network from the app itself while the app is in use.

> The biggest factors were failing to make polluters pay for the deaths and poor health caused by air pollution (42%) and for the heatwaves and other impacts of global heating (29%).

So 71% of this $11m number is failing to account for supposed externalities. It is a stretch to call this a subsidy. I would say it is a very misleading headline.
What are you talking about?

A recent example would be Theranos, a clearly fraudulent company which was unusually aggressive towards its many whistleblowers (see John Carreyrou's excellent reporting). Theranos legally harassed its whistleblowers, but no-one had to go into hiding for 33 years, and the general view would be that Theranos's unusually aggressive approach has hurt its case rather than helped it.

I don't think anyone would claim that the Theranos whistleblowers weren't 'actual whistleblowers'.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not too against this. I do not mind DDG showing me lawn mowers when I search for "lawn mowers", and if this is similar but in Firefox, that's OK.

The fact is, Firefox needs funding and this seems to be the way of doing it. Brave does something similar too.

I hope the ads are purely contextual and do not track me, and I would appreciate a way for people to opt out.
I hope the Users have their consent form ducks neatly in a row.
I'm assuming disruption mitigation is a big part of what you're looking at? Controlling a normal state plasma would be nice, but recognizing incipient disruptions is absolutely critical if ITER (or ARC) is to function at all. One unmitigated disruption could break ITER.
Oh, good thing I have address bar suggestions disabled
If Wikimedia were managing Firefox you would see the "donation" button in the toolbar that can't be really disabled during the fundrasing season; you can press a small x button, but it will come back as soon as you think it is truly gone. You are severely understating Wikimedia's aggressive campaigns.
Pretty smart. The examples you gave are math-heavy, so to get the best performance you need to do use some kind of SIMD instructions. For these you need to drop down a level, although not really assembly - there are compiler intrinsics that you can use. And for simple functions, compilers are getting fairly good at autovectorization, meaning to introduce SIMD instructions automatically. But it's not something you can rely on.

Generally, they do lots of inlining, and then once you inline you can get some more optimizations in, rinse and repeat. Ends up pretty optimal. (This is C++, can't speak for other languages.)

We work on very perf-sensitive code and we never drop down to assembly. For hot loops, we usually inspect the generated assembly and if it's not great, it's fairly easy to "nudge" the compiler towards the better-performing solutions by tweaking the source code. Also some manual unrolling might be needed to better saturate the vector processing cores of modern CPUs.

And when you're working with signed integers, you still have to do stuff like a >> 1 instead of a / 2 :)
If "fork" and "shirt" are allowed I am fine. :)

You can still use any other language except English to achieve the goal .

For me, OS/2 ended around the time my father finally switched full time to NT4, and sometime later I got my own PC with Win95 OSR2
Worst thing is that every single time they do this kind of bullshit, they do it without asking for opt-in and enable it sneakily by default. Absolutely the worst.
IME: "it depends". You'll have to check the generated assembly code and then tweak your "high-level" C code to appease the compiler to generate code that's acceptable. Sometimes a small change in the high-level code is enough to break the "pattern matching" in optimizer passes.

Here's an example that looks like magic at first glance where the compiler converts manual bit twiddling code to a popcnt instruction (with the right compiler setting), but do the bit counting any other way, and the whole thing falls apart:

I'm one of those five, and I'm not switching. Chromium is tainted, Brave is outright corrupt, and IceCat is seriously unpractical (they don't even build Windows binaries, because ideology beats practicality for them).

Do I hate the current exec team? Fuck yes. Do I have any serious alternative? Effectively, no. Am I a hostage? Sadly, a bit. I hope people with the power to influence this state of thing will, sooner or later, draw a line and find a better way forward (i.e. a new exec team). Either that, or the project will die and hopefully someone else will pick up the baton.
I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds pretty bad, I assume this is in the US?

My journey has been the opposite, from doing a PhD in a totally different field to full stack web development. Quitting my PhD for coding felt like a breath of fresh air and I haven't felt this motivated before in my life. There are good places out there for software development, and even if you want to change careers for whatever reason there are options available. I wish the best for you!
It wouldn't be "a bit" higher, it would be out of the market. A completely analogous situation is how if we manufactured computers using something other than (effectively) slave labor, a macbook would cost $15,000.

These problems will go away in the same way similar problems have gone away in the past: with technology advancing to a point where no humans are required to be in the loop any longer.

> I claim, perhaps provocatively, that prioritizing being liked and "winning" is makes it very difficult to behave ethically.

If your only goal is winning and being liked, then I would agree with your statement. But thats taking a skill into isolation, and completely ignoring the wider applications of that skill.

I would hope that people employ the skill of being liked and “winning” to help further ethical goals, and help persuade people that unpopular ethical acts are actually important and valuable, thus increasing wider support for such acts.

Ignoring those wider opportunities would be like saying that programming is a waste of time, because you’re only teaching a computer to do stuff, you’re not solving problems for actual people. This argument, of course, ignores the fact that you can use programming to teach computers to solve problems for real people. And indeed thats the primary reason most people program.

We had a similar situation with a random name generator that just picked first names and last names at random. One result of this was 'Gaylord Dickinson', which sounds like it could only possibly have been made up as a homophobic joke, but which was just the random combination of two quite common first and last names.

If you are a company whose business is advertisement, you should not get a free pass to *require* *unnecessary* personally identifiable information from your target audience.

There is no good argument for making it a *requirement*. If the platform has issues moderating its content, then there are solutions other than requiring their users to identify themselves. Plus, as we saw, asking for ID does not help fight against problematic content and its spread. The root of the problem may lie elsewhere, e.g. in the system which boosts user-generated content which draws clicks (clickbait) and likes (outrage and fake news). Asking for ID is only good for the targetted advertisement business, telling otherwise is a decoy.
My go-to DB is Oracle, because I've been using it for like 20 years commercially. The DB I'm next most familiar with is SQL Server. Both of these are fine, for most use cases (see stackoverflow on SQL Server and MANY large organizations on Oracle. For my own projects, if I had to pay the license I would use Postgres as the primary store, or a cloud db PAAS/SAAS. No need to use anything other that Postgres IMHO.
For "actually private" systems like this the solution should be cryptoshredding. If this is not possible (f.e. because you believe information published once should be available forever), then the app is bad and should not exist. People have a right to be forgotten.
