Ahh you're right!

It was actually one of those Bell Geo aircraft. I had forgotten the name of the company.

Those engines are actually on the wikipedia page, but the front view in this photo looks different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basler_BT-67#/media/File:Basle...

That must indeed be a different engine option.

Thanks for the clarification!
You both may be right and wrong… further down in wikipedia page:

Google Stadia’s salvaged future as a back-end cloud service is here
My first camera was a Kodak Box Brownie that took 620 size film which I got at the age of about 10 or 11. Whilst I was glad to have a camera of sorts I never liked it much as it was never very sharp - even small contact prints looked soft. Its main advantage was for me to learn how to do my own film developing and printing which I enjoyed doing (even though at one stage I accidentally nearly killed myself when using HCN in the confined space of a darkroom).

This interest in photography led me down the path professionally into electronic imaging - vidicons, image orthicons etc. and eventually into electronic surveillance work.

If the Box Brownie could ever be considered a threat to privacy then it'd be hard even to put it on a graph or scale when compared with the privacy-invading cameras of today.

However, as they say in the chassics, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Over 20 years ago I was predicting autonomous self-propelled insect-size cameras no bigger than a cockroach. Now only in recent days I read of researchers having produced a flying 'insect' no bigger than a honey bee.

I've thought about this a great amount in recent years and I cannot see any practical way of protecting our privacy in future. Soon we will have not only perfected these crawling/flying insect-like autonomous robots but we'll be equipping them with cameras equipped with lenses made from metamaterials that will provide unprecedented resolution not only in the visible spectrum but also in the IR and UV - not to mention them being equipped with numerous other types of data-gathering sensors.

Frankly, the concept horrifies somewhat. Not only will personal privacy be under assault in ways never dreamt of before but also securing state secrets, etc will be nigh on impossible without a complete rethink. (Just think, a company's source code, circuits, boardroom discussions etc will be very easy game for competitors.)

We've already left Orwell's world behind technically and we've seen privacy vanish as the consequence - with the likes of Google, Facebook, governments - NSA, GCHQ, cameras all over our cities watching everything we do, and so on.

You don't have to be Einstein to realize that in just a few decades that current camera/sensor/robot technology will be several orders of magnitude better than it is today and the surveillance flexibility it'll provide the spyer with will be completely unprecedented - just unimaginable by today's standards.

Personally, I don't think I've the fortitude and wherewithal to cope adequately in a dystopian world like that. I doubt if many others do either.

As a cross-platform .NET developer, these are the only relevant bits to me:

> Earlier this year we announced .NET Hot Reload, an ambitious project to bring Hot Reload to as many .NET developers as possible. ….. I am excited to use this blog post to update you on our progress towards this goal and all the wonderful features that are coming November 8th, 2021 when we hit our GA release.

And then at the bottom of the article:

> …. we are not releasing Hot Reload as a feature of the dotnet watch tool.

So the “exciting” news buried in this article is that the live reload feature that almost all other modern web frameworks have had for years, is being dropped in favour of what seems to be a proprietary feature locked to Visual Studio instead.

Nah, what drove web development was the business interest: the core code stays on your servers and is never shipped to users, making piracy impossible and allowing to make users pay you in perpetuity for what otherwise would be a one-time-paid product. Previous attempts at forcing this business model on users involved "licensing servers", but those still left the software vulnerable to cracking.

The whole "we can fix a bug and deploy new version to everyone while still on the phone with the customer who reported the problem" thing was just a bait.
I think - though I can’t recall any on the spot- that there are “Open Source Companies” - that give away the main thing, but charge for advanced features. Any idea if this is the case?
This is the ideal situation. Google already lacks control over all the Chromium forks, like Brave, Opera, Edge and ungoogled-chromium. They accept upstream patches voluntarily, and they can and do reject anything they disagree with. The shadier Google gets the more forks will reject upstream and instead share patches among themselves.

As long as Chromium is open source I don't see what there is to worry about. We literally have the code.

There's a lot to be gained by standardizing on Chromium as well. New features, improvements and optimizations only have to be implemented once instead of thrice, and developers only have to deal with bugs in one implementation instead of the union of bugs in all three.
This is the xeon that's in the laptop. the geekbench score is base on running tests on the low power integrated graphics instead of the discreet NVIDIA RTX GPU. the numbers you idiots keep quoting are completely bogus. anywise losers, enjoy your apples, i got real work to do.

I run about 50k worth of software licenses on the laptop and generate millions in revenue per quarter with it. That's why it's a pro laptop, and I'm sure my company paid about double your number after you add in dell's pro support plus. Pro laptop for pro work. You're a kid who wants toys, but wants to say you're using professional equipment. I got something that's like the pro mac laptop. work gave that to me too for secondary tasks. it's called a dell latitude. it runs the latest i7 and no ecc memory. great for chromecasting porn and playing games in the browser, 13 hours of battery unlike the precision's 9, and much lighter. they just don't call it a pro.

I run multiple browsers, especially across multiple devices. I wonder how many FF users do the same and whether that changes the use stats we see.
I am a long time Firefox user (on Linux), however for about 5 years I had to switch to Chromium due to a small issue that seemed to never be fixed: proper support for user profiles, namely how to open a link in a new tab/window in a given profile (that was already running). Luckily it got fixed last year, so now I'm "back".

However, this is only one of the situations in which, from time to time, "something" pushes me away from Firefox to Chromium. For example for about two weeks now Google Meet is not working properly on Firefox (at least on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed).

Moreover, they just keep needlessly changing things: I use the, now obsolete, "compact" UI mode; for about a month I've started experimenting "tabless" (i.e. one tab per window) but found that there isn't any more this option (I had to use `userChrome.css` to hide the tabs); they keep dropping or breaking `about:config` options; when they add new "features" (like UI buttons) they shove them in my UI and I have to remove it from each and every profile; etc.

That being said, and getting to the initial point of the OP, for some time now I no longer see Firefox as an open source project, but as a "product", just another one in the browser line-up alongside Chrome / Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi, etc.

Just another product that happens to be open-source, just another product that happens to have a business-model where I get the short end of the stick (mainly the "advertising" incarnation of stick)...

If perhaps websites / webapps would be less demanding on the latest-and-greatest web-feature, we could use simpler browsers, like the ones based on WebKit, or why not even something lightweight as Netsurf...

> Exactly how long the protection from mRNA vaccines will last is hard to predict. In the absence of variants that sidestep immunity, in theory immunity could last a lifetime, experts said. But the virus is clearly evolving.

I again point out your lack of evidence that the police who refuse to get vaccinated are also those who have all had COVID.

You think if that was their issue, they would mention it, right?

I can't find a number about police specifically, so let's say 50% of them have had COVID, since that seems like a high number.

If the decision to not reveal vaccination status is independent of having COVID, then that's still 1/6th of the police force who haven't had COVID and who refuse to get vaccination. (Or, technically, refuse to reveal their vaccination status.)

Do you think the vast majority of the police who object have had COVID? What is the basis of your belief?

For those who object, and who haven't had the disease or the vaccination, tell me, should they be allowed to stay on the force and possibly infect the people they are required to be in close contact with?

> This sentence does not mean the vaccine prevents infection

Like, duh. I'm not ignorant. I do actually read the links I post.

> Here's a detailed analysis

Translation: here's a blog post from some anonymous self-described "Doctor" who has only ever made 4 posts. (Though is possibly also more known on Reddit?)

Still, I read it. You realize it makes no argument for why those who have had COVID shouldn't get a vaccination, right? The author writes only "Whether convalescent individuals should be vaccinated is still open to debate in my opinion." but gives no explanation of the basis for that opinion.

Why did you seemingly waste my time pointing me to that blog post?

At https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28953984 you referenced the CDC to support your views.

The CDC at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/prepare-f... also says "Get Vaccinated Even If You Have Had COVID-19".

Yes it grows in US/Europe. I only have experience with smaller forms (1inch, 2.5cm diameter).

It's fast growing and spreads like crazy. Be careful with bamboo in your garden, it'll shoot out underground and resurface couple meters (yards) away from the main plant if you don't encase it in concrete.

Now if it yields more then a fast growing tree? Don't know.
Presumably it takes away many more flexible opportunities if you can't freely freelance.
That doesn't quite make sense. You're basically paying for the land in many European cities, too, so how is the price of the building an important factor? It's the land that's very expensive.
Don't you find "through" a bit clunky, how about via? Also "Lead" can be misread as a metal, how about Leading?
HTTP/4 should send all headers in JSON format and dates in ISO format.

The old RFC822 header format looks so simple, but parsing it is the devil, especially email headers such as "to".
Clever, but that's completely missing the point.

For one I didn't mention "behavior among different web browsers". I think that's a red-herring in this discussion. What is hard about UI front-ends is not that, nor is it unique to it. It is the fact that you are providing something that's consumed by humans directly. Most of the heuristics surrounding that are fuzzy at best. It is an open system on top of that, because humans are wildly different in their perception of and ability to interact with computers.

I also didn't say "testing distributed systems is easier" than that. It's a completely different game. Contrast the language/jargon/papers/practices surrounding the two:

- Fault tolerance, CAP, ACID, replication etc.

- accessibility, affordances, interaction, perceived performance etc.

Which one of those you think lends itself more to test automation and engineering principles?

Whether you find one or the other easier might depend much more on how well you do and want to understand this difference and how well you apply that knowledge.

It's not that.It's the korean approach of doing things.The "bbali bbali" culture where korean ingenuity gets pushed back by their impatience and the need to re-invent themselves very quick.

They like to designate certain areas to specific industries and then wonder why it's not such a good approach.

Look at Songdo or Pangyo Techno Valley.Both rushed and without much thought.
As soon as the gov subsidies ran out the companies wanted to move back because it was both as expensive as in Seoul downtown with little of other benefit.

Also 99% of the companies there were korean anyway.
> Allowing employers to control health care is not a good idea.

Not that I disagree, but I'd like to point out that you're effectively advocating for all other employers to "cut" healthcare as well.

As someone who pays my own (and my family's) healthcare to the tune of $16K/yr for a really shitty plan, I'd also say that _who_ pays is probably not the primary concern here. If it cost one third what it does now (which is what it cost just 20 years ago, before government got more "involved"), a lot of people would be able to afford it out of pocket without entering de-facto indentured servitude.

The primary concern, instead, should be how much this shit costs, as well as the fact that the costs are _still_ rising.

And this concern can't be addressed until we force hospitals to publish prices, allow people to buy healthcare across state lines, and force US Big Pharma to treat the United States more favorably than they treat, say, Europe.

Note that given the high levels of corruption in our government, and the high cost of doctors and nurses ($300 for a 10 minute consultation? GTFO, not even lawyers charge this much), I do not think that piping another few trillion per year through the government is going to improve matters in any way whatsoever.

Tig for example is so much faster for history and blame perusal that I find it faster to keep it open in another terminal and just switch to it.
