Facebook specifically had to push for an open web and just offer FB on web.

Someone did a very nice clone a few years ago of a Facebook UI done entirely in the browser and it was snappy even in lower tier androids.

It might be harder for other companies, eg games where you need native code to perform well but facebook really has no excuses. They were never going to benefit from walled gardens on mobile.

It could be that they lacked skills to optimise a web page, judging from how terrible and heavy their frontend apps are, but I think it was mostly a strategic decision to go native.

Personally I think Rust is more interesting, but it's going to depend a lot on where you're coming from; in my case that's from the land of vast enterprise beasts. Mileage varies.

It would be really interesting to see a sort of sin tax applied to unhealthy foods that contain excess sugar (soda, candy, etc). Not saying I'd be for or against it, but I'd be very interested to see how it'd affect people's habits, if at all.

Not sure how you could try something like that on a small scale with a country with these issues like the US since people could just drive a town over, and a state would probably be too big of a sample size.

"we shouldn’t attempt to use taxes to eliminate vice"

Why not? Taxes are usually preferable to outright bans (which, realistically, is how governments eliminate vice), because they let you decide how much is your vice worth to you and still engage in it, with a revenue benefit to the rest of society, if you really want to.
The only experience I have with EMS is that their bridge to the libera.chat IRC network doesn't work. Specifically, the libera.chat homeserver that they host sends like 10% of the events that it should be sending to my (self-hosted) homeserver. I know it's not a problem with my homeserver because multiple other (non-EMS-hosted) homeservers work with mine just fine.

And there's no way to get help about it; none of the folk who run it are active in the #libera-matrix channel, and the libera.chat folks themselves don't have any knowledge of it because it's entirely maintained by EMS.

People who use matrix.org as their homeserver reported no problems with it when I asked, but at least one other person using their own homeserver said it was broken in the same way for them too.

"Infinitely better experience" my ass.
At this time I would recommend WebGL 2. WebGL 2 is finally supported in all major browsers now that Safari 15 shipped. WebGL 2 has some of the benefits mentioned in the article for WebGPU, such as a reasonable minimum texture size (2048 vs 64 in WebGL 1) and the built-in ability to get the size of a texture in a shader.

WebGPU will not ship in all browsers for some time, and when it does it will not have have wider hardware support than WebGL 2. It has the potential to be faster in some cases, but the difference is unlikely to matter for most. The big draw of WebGPU should be compute shader support, though it is definitely possible to do compute work in WebGL 2 either with transform feedback or just regular shaders.
Earlier this month the water line from my well pump to my pressure tank just... exploded. Water gushed all over my basement until I remembered where the off switch for the pump was. I'm lucky I was home, because it would have just kept running until it got to a place where it could drain out (i.e. upstairs) or the power shut off because everything shorted out.

It's real bliss out here in the country, let me tell you :-) My son was home and got to hear me swear with words and tones that he'd never encountered before.
I mean the biggest driver of this is not anything to do with Seattle specifically, but instead the State's constitutional prohibition on an income tax, which forces cities and counties to use more regressive tax methods.
Where I am in SF it seems to be the opposite. Until a few years ago the power would go out every time it rained heavily but at some point they fixed it and now we get electricity when it rains. (Major roads still become impassable when it rains because it happens infrequently enough they’re not built with a camber.)

I didn't dislike node red, but it didn't really fit my use case well. I wanted to use it as a REST service to write APIs for clients to use to generate reports from our various databases. Basically a low-code data pipeline from cassandra, mongo, sql, etc. It worked...but things like switching git branches while keeping things running, updating the service, aggregating results, etc, were difficult. More difficult than just writing the code.

I wrote one then never used it again opting for node instances inside of our Kubernetes cluster instead.
Personally, those popups are an immediate close tab for me. If you have no confidence in my wanting to sign up for your news letter after I've seen your content, I don't want to bother with your content at all.
I think there’s enough contradictory information here to make clear ideological statements like that indefensible. The late USSR was far dirtier than America of the same period, yes, but neither can hold a candle to pre-EPA America or late industrial revolution England. Heck, London had a coal smoke smog in 1952 that killed 10-12K people in a week.

Regardless, I find this discussion to be an unwelcome diversion. The USSR is dead, and even most communists don’t want that specific state back. The reality is that today in America we regularly let companies privatize their profits and shift their costs onto all of society. We don’t need to nationalize industry to fix that, and as you correctly point out that might not be sufficient, but we do need to regulate this.

There's a notion in cybernetics of something like ‘the real org chart’ going all the way back to Stafford Beer's seminal work The Brain of the Firm. In any enterprise, org charts are fundamentally nominal, and you should always expect there to be gaps between that model and the way roles are actually structured in the organization.
From the article: Traditional geothermal wells target rare hydrothermal resources

Florida geothermal systems pull cool water from the aquifer, use it for A/C and return it via a 2nd well. They're about the only wells that water management districts will rubberstamp.

Geothermal cooling (in FL) becomes cost efficient above 15k-20k sq ft (based on my 2010s exp). That led me to an idea that neighborhoods could be cooled by small geothermal utilities. I wonder about increased heat energy down the line but I've seen a doz+ chillers work efficiently, from one 4" well. On a larger scale, downstream heat buildup might be mitigated via a more distributed water system.

It's everyone not just poor people, I suspect it's mostly poor people that pay the tax now because the behavior incentive mostly worked. There's a selection bias here in part, people more responsive to not wasting money are going to be more responsive to higher costs - they're also less likely to be poor as a result of this.

Parking is different enough to not to be comparable. You don't die a horrible death from parking.

> If your incentive isn’t pegged to income or wealth, it’s just creating two tiers of society

I don't agree with this, but it's a longer discussion and mostly off topic. You create more issues by doing this than you fix imo. "Poor" is not a permanent state.

Arguably if what you're suggesting was the case we'd see rich people smoking because the tax doesn't impact them and poor people abstaining due to cost. We don't see that so it suggests something else is going on.
Power law, same holds for taxes over! Somehow I doubt it's the same 10% though...
Mostly pool hall sort of places I'd imagine.
Not the OP, but my argument would be that things should either be legal or illegal.

Fine if stuff has a naturally high price, everyone can't have a Tesla or a Ferrari, but if something is deemed to be morally OK (and therefore legal), it's not the government's place to then penalising people for spending their money on it.

If taxes from cigarettes and alcohol were ring-fenced purely for treating smokers, prevention campaigns & alcohol anonymous programmes etc then I might be in favour.

But for example — supposedly treating smokers costs the NHS £2.5bn per year (https://twitter.com/UKHSA/status/887261639720001536), but the duty on cigarettes brings in £9.9bn (https://www.statista.com/statistics/284329/tobacco-duty-unit...).

For alcohol — the overall budget of the NHS is ~£130bn currently. This article (2016) estimated that alcohol related cases cost the NHS 3.6% of its budget (https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2016/jan/22/alcoho...) which, assuming the same now would be £4.7bn today, but alcohol duty brings in £12bn (https://www.statista.com/statistics/284336/united-kingdom-hm...).

Even accounting for other costs (e.g. accidents), the government is making a huge return on allowing these products to be sold, so it seems hypocritical to then punish people for using them, especially if people want to enjoy them in moderation.
We live in a world in which it is easier to collect 'sin taxes' than to tax the rich.

The wealthy have resources to fight any attempt to collect a fair, let alone progressive, share of their earnings.

And yet, it might be rational in terms of social utility to increase the cost of acquiring alcohol. We face a challenge if we want to balance fairness and utility.

The optimal policy surely includes measures which go beyond making psychotropic substances harder to aquire, but I don't know what the answer is. We could spend money on therapy, but would it really pay for itself?

>I disagree, many people have been waiting for PWA support in Firefox. Removing this feature, may result in people (including me, a huge Firefox advocate) switching from Firefox, to a browser that supports PWA. I'm very disappointed.

We already don't have the feature working in any decent fashion so I'm not sure removing it will have any impact here.

>I also would like to see the results of the research, Dave was talking about.

Unfortunately I think that the research is confidential at the moment.

(In reply to joshas from comment #13)

>You should reconsider this decision. It is understandable that currently there might not be enough resources to finish full PWA support, like in competing browsers, but removing it completely will not only make all work done on it a waste of time, but also send wrong signal to some users.

>Leaving feature hidden under flag for enthusiasts to experiment on and, maybe, even submit patches that will nudge it closer to completion - that would be a bigger win, than removing feature altogether.

The signal I hope we are sending is that *PWA support is not coming to desktop Firefox anytime soon* {emphasis: mine}. At this point I don't think we would accept patches to improve the feature so I don't think leaving the code in Firefox makes any sort of sense. Speaking as the developer who spent a good deal of time writing most of the code I am frustrated to see it removed too, but it is the decision that makes sense at this time.

> Oh yeah, "that wasn't true communism".

"Marxism"? "Communism"? What are we talking about again? Eh, who cares what words mean when you can bludgeon people with them! It's all "non-capitalist", which is a word that means "bad".
"What someone does in their own house should be up to them"

I agree with this. The problem is that smokers smoke in public spaces. This causes direct problems to me and everyone else who does not smoke. It infringes on my freedom.

Also for whatever reason, cigarette smokers get a pass on littering. It's disgusting. Tax dollars should be raised on cigarettes so we can hire people to clean up after smokers.

>Drinking alcohol, for the most part (although not entirely), is purely a sin, and does not inherently affect the public. Smoking does, either in a minor and indirect way due to pollutants entering our shared atmosphere or a much more direct effect if someone is smoking in your local vicinity. I'm all for taxing the thing that affects people but isn't so horrible as to ban outright, but not so much the "sin."

Please define "sin" in this context.

According to Merriam-Webster[0], "sin" is:

an offense against religious or moral law

Depending on who you talk to, divorce is a "sin." As is sex outside of marriage, eating pork or shellfish or cheeseburgers.

Shall we implement high taxes on those things too?

Please note that my issue is with the term "sin," as it has strong religious implications which, at least in the US, have no place in the operation of our secular government.

North Korea and Cuba have been disasters, and I think you're wrong about the USSR being cleaner than pre-EPA USA. China has been a mess throughout its self-professed communist history as well; you may dispute its degree of communism, but it certainly has more nationalized industries (of the sort proposed in parent comments) than the USA or any other 'capitalist' country.
This is sadly spot on.

I had a conversation that touched on privacy once with a person I met at a bar who works for Big Evil Tech Co. and she basically came out and said this in slightly more diplomatic terms.
While these sorts of analyses are worthwhile, the primary reason they're necessary is because college has become such a raw deal and costs far too much, even for degrees with "good" ROI. I paid $40k to teach myself 80% of the material from Khan Academy and Youtube videos.

There are a couple problems with that study.

You need to apply a discount rate of 10% (which seems unreasonable for the government which can borrow at incredibly low rates.)

Also this analysis ignores that healthcare costs are accelerating faster than inflation, so treatment for an individual in 20 years will likely be far more expensive than treatment today.

It also doesn't include social security.
No, software licenses apply to distribution of of software.

The developers made this publicly accessible to users interacting with it remotely through a computer network, in violation of the license. What the developers consider a "release" and their incompetence is irrelevant

The only insect I'm aware of that seems to still be in full force that is native are mosquitos. Dragonflies, lightning bugs, lady bugs, moths, butterflies, etc. are sadly all rare sightings.
I have a problem with "sin taxes". On one hand I think its good that less people are smoking. Its a horrible habit and having less people smoking reduces healthcare costs for society and will add longevity to the many people.

Where I have an issue with "sin taxes" in general is that "sins" start to be widely stated and in general really hurt the working class. Take for example in California where gas is taxed to no end, for myself who works from home in software this doesn't really affect me as I only drive on the weekends, for a blue collar worker it becomes extremely expensive as their job forces them to drive and their lower income makes the gas cost increase outsized.

In addition in NY the sugar tax on soda seems really heavy handed, typically sugary drinks are chosen by families as they are cheaper than fresher alternatives, what this does is just raise the price on the lowest price flavored drinks for families that can least afford it. Education about obesity and its effects seem non-existent and it would be a better way to go about this than the idea that poor people are stupid and need bad things for them made more expensive.
> The only "filtering candidates" job is the recruiter, not the interviewer

Then what's the point of the interview?

Considering the amount of incompetent candidates I've had to filter out, that just won't work.

IMO: We need a licensing board to do that for us. It works really well in other industries, where they don't need to test competence in their job interviews.

Our stock research platform is now 100% free
We've been building the freemium website for a few years. We launched paid plans in Feb ($19/m for additional features and higher limits), which grew slowly over the last 6 months, but not to a point where they were covering costs, or likely to any time soon.

The site is popular though - we get about half a million pageviews a month, and have about 7k subscribers to a daily newsletter, and growing every month. We just weren't getting Pro signups - the value prop wasn't there.

We could have put more of the free features behind the paywall, but the industry is getting ultra-competitive, with all our competitors reducing their subscription prices. So with the trajectory of "the value of the data is going to zero" together with "the best way to help everyday investors is to give everyone access to the same information", we decided to change business model and switch to ads/sponsorship (to be implemented soon), which estimates seem to suggest will allow us to much more easily cover our monthly costs.

Any feedback/comments/etc, please let me know!
