Generally speaking, other Chromium-based browsers simply load the CRX (extension file) directly from Google's server. This puts the user's device in direct contact with the advertising and data-harvesting giant.

In Brave's case, we proxy the requests to prevent direct contact. As such, when a user attempts to install an extension in Brave, the browser sends the request through a *.brave.com endpoint, which relays it to Google, and returns the CRX (or other response).

In the author's case, they may have sent an invalid request to Brave's proxy endpoint (e.g. missing or invalid service key). This can happen when you're using an out-of-date build of the browser. It's not clear to us at this time what caused the "Access Denied" error, but we know that a missing/invalid key could yield these results.

You seem to be questioning taxes/government in general, I'm not gonna comment on that.

Sure, individuals and companies can use the rules of the system to minimize the tax they're paying. Everyone does that. But companies like Amazon also have a responsibility to the country they operate in and in my opinion should pay taxes there. Just because some financial wizard figured out that that there is such a thing as a double dutch sandwich or what it's called doesn't mean everyone has to eat it.

No performance RUM means no knowledge of performance regressions. I have deployed changes that looked great on our CI and then gravely impacted performance for a segment of customers.

Blinding a business to user experience because you've read papers on historic exploits seems like odd logic to me. You can't do anything malicious with a DB of LCP timings.

HN's anti-telemetry mindset is baffling to me.
As a freelancer, you are usually not working with "the public".

A bunch of professions require special licensing to be able to deal with the public (supermarkets included, but even one-man professions like public notaries in some countries), and while there is no similar legislation for internet "places", we can easily establish de-facto public services (which most social networks are).

So, if you've got an open shop (retail space), can you forbid someone from entering for "any reason"? Eg. "I dislike your hairstyle" is a reason.

None of those are really valid objections. HL7 FHIR does not even attempt to model the whole world. It only attempts to model the most common healthcare use cases. Most resource elements are optional and you can just ignore those that are irrelevant to your needs. Resource metadata can specify profile conformance, which implies the standard version. There are a variety of tools available now to assist with profiling. The resource definitions are free open source and available to everyone.

If FHIR doesn't bring much benefit then why is it so widely used? If you need to exchange healthcare data with other organizations then what's the alternative? The older HL7 standards weren't any better.

I don't think anyone here is arguing with that - it's a pretty widely accepted fact that Youtube has a hegemony (see: near-monopoly) in the space.

There are 2 types of crotchety old men:

2) This one yells "get off my lawn!" and proceeds to explain why he doesn't like kids walking through his grass, and gives the complete history of him yelling at kids and then goes into detail why staying off his lawn is best for everybody.

The author of curl is the latter. It would take much less time and effort to just write something fun into it, AND document it. Good grief, life is short, software development should be fun, even while remaining professional.

To me the real reason to not do them is outlined in the "useless work" section. They add surface area, support and maintenance to a project for essentially no gain. For a project as popular and visible as curl, I'd imagine avoiding having to talk about it, and dealing with feature requests and PRs on it alone makes not having an easter egg well worth it.
I would like to have the option to just mark some functions to run on the heap instead of the stack. Without that option, recursive functions are really useless and cannot be used in the real world.

True. In medieval Europe charcoal burner was typically a very specialized profession.

"During the Middle Ages, charcoal burners were ostracised. Their profession was considered dishonourable and they were frequently accused of evil practices. Even today there is a certain denigration of this former occupation."

> There IS, however, a very sad upswing of mentally ill on the streets and subways. They may frighten tourists, but are harmless

Watching someone masturbate publicly while I'm trying to have brunch with my wife and two young daughters is not "harmless". Trying to take my kids on the subway and walking past a mound of urine-smalling clothes with a person laying there who's clearly high... that's not harmless. Most families with the means to move out of the city - have done so. ...and that dramatically alters the neighborhood.

> It is shameful that none of the pervasive enormous construction projects are going to facilitate homing them

This is a common misconception. There are several reasons homeless people don't go to homeless shelters, but availability isn't really one of them. You cannot collect handouts in a homeless shelter - you cannot bring in drugs and alcohol in a homeless shelter - and you cannot get away from other mentally ill/substance abusive people in a homeless shelter.

NYC in particular rents out hotels for their various homeless programs. Only on the coldest winter nights, are the homeless shelters full. ...and even then - they find room for everyone.

“Conservatives” are a coalition of different factions, just like “liberals.” Historically, the GOP is a fusion party of social conservatives, economic libertarians, and defense hawks. Like with liberals, there’s give and take among those factions about their view of the proper role of government (where it should be involved and where it shouldn’t be).
Most EHRs and other related healthcare applications now have reasonably correct support of various HL7 interoperability formats. Not perfect, but good enough. Much of this has been driven by federal government regulatory mandates.

> And, you can tell MySQL to use a particular index for a query!

I didn't know this was a thing or even common until this year and it opened my eyes to some major issues when the PG optimizer doesn't get a query right you have no escape hatch.

That being said, and me being weak in MySQL, it wasn't obvious to me if this is very common and how often you _have_ to tell MySQL what index to use because the optimizer misses it...
It's definitely easier on my eyes than trying to focus on a laptop screen and I feel pretty strongly that it's a big productivity boost to not have to flip around between a terminal, documentation, editor and output webpage constantly.

That being said standard window management really falls down with the larger screen real estate and I use a 3rd party window manager mapped to keyboard shortcuts to split the screen up into smaller chunks.
Heavily agreed. Our psychologies are becoming unrooted from our bodies' physical needs. Years of evolving towards the mental stimulation we seek these days is detaching us from our bodily sensations, and often we can't feel the bodily consequences of our choices until a complex chronic health problem arises. We're burning ourselves out on a global scale.

It is just stress...
$300/kWh is essentially what lead acid is at, which is maybe why you chose it, but, point being, there are already batteries out there that hit this mark.

In terms of availability of LiFePO4 batteries, just a quick check on Alibaba and Aliexpress shows many options for anywhere from $100/kWh to $150/kWh (if the prices are to believed, shipping is reasonable, etc. etc.).

My assumption is that this prices will keep dropping and batteries, in some shape or form, will follow their own Moore's law like behavior, becoming cheaper at an exponential pace. I'm not sure if you believe the Alibaba and Aliexpress prices or whether you consider that "consumer" or not, but the $100/kWh is essentially already here and potentially available at small scale volumes.

Scaling up production, scaling up adoption, finding markets, interleaving with local regulation, etc. are all challenges of adoption solar and battery technology for use in energy, especially in developed nations where there's a legacy infrastructure to consider. My opinion is that when the cost of the hardware is sufficiently low, there is a large pressure to adopt the new technology because the potential savings are so high. With a high potential upside, impediments to adoption are overcome.

In my opinion, the low cost of solar and batteries make this almost an inevitability and so the better question is when will it be adopted and what markets will spring out from it.

In terms of supply chain issues, this is, from what I understand, a localized problem due to the global pandemic and I would expect this to be resolved within the next year or two. This might just speak to my own ignorance on how the whole shipping industry works and maybe this is pointing to a potential other market involving supply chains, shipping containers or some other technology, that I'm missing.

Anyway, you were asking for "exciting" technology. There's kind of nothing more fundamental than energy. Solar and battery technology promise to create an abundance of cheap energy. An abundance of energy has the potential to create a booming economy, so it's not just the technology proper that has innovation, which could include things like a decentralized energy grid, smart power monitoring, etc. but also all the other side effects from energy abundance that comes with it.

I don't know why Amazon's filtering is like this - for comparison eBay, which seems less organised on the surface, has very granular filters inside categories. eg - searching for 'buttons' on eBa gives additional filters to narrow by colour, share, type , material, and application...

I started working prior to Agile becoming a thing but wasn't around for the entirety of the 1990s. I have seen both waterfall and agile products fail or succeed. I don't think the process is ever to blame when they failed or deserves much credit when they succeeded.

My take on it is both processes have their strengths and weaknesses and perhaps a product needs to start Agile and slowly morph towards Waterfall as it matures.

Agile is great for the pre-1.0 phase when no one is sure what exactly the market needs yet and you're working on a software product with low cost to acquire customers. If you're iterating over different ideas trying to triangulate what is going to sell, and you don't need to scale yet before you figure out if you can sell it, then Agile has a great role to play. This is kind of risky startup time for sure though.

But when your product has become huge, mature, and you're signing $1M+ annual contracts with enterprise customers and your new features are getting very complex Agile doesn't work as well at that point as the tech debt it creates become more and more punishing as the project size grows, and the complex features become more and more difficult to fit into sprints without causing disasters. If a feature takes 6 months it can be a disaster to force it into 2 week sprints that just build tech debt in the name of being able to demo.

I've been on the current product I work on for about 8 years and have watched it morph from a pre-1.0 Agile product to a $500M+/yr complex product. We've been lucky to have good management and the process has gradually changed as the needs of the product have changed.

My career has mostly been enterprise B2B software... the best process for B2C, B2B, aerospace, military, etc.. is not necessarily going to be the same.

One thing for sure though is Agile has largely become a religion and less so of a pragmatic process as time has gone on.
