That's the terrible thing about a "reasonable expectation of privacy."[0] Permission creep keeps pushing back what "reasonable" means.

From the findlaw article: "This means that the disclosure or discovery of a private matter must have happened when the plaintiff was in a place or situation in which the average person would be offended at being intruded upon."

So now we shouldn't be offended if apps use our location data even when we're not using those apps.

bruce343434 already linked to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22918980 which I was going to suggest but one other thought I had is considering how supportive their current employer will be. If they're concerned about future employment and a U.S. citizen, it might be worth considering looking at public sector work (e.g. https://usajobs.gov, etc.) because government agencies have a legal requirement to make their applications accessible and a software developer who really understands what it's like for blind users is a pretty rare combination. There is a pretty big gap between “the [fully sighted] QA contractor ran it through a tool” and “someone who uses a screen reader proficiently accomplished a task”, and depending on where you work a relatively minor change can make a real quality of life improvement for a lot of people.
> enact violence against the citizens of Ottawa

That hasn't happened. Grossly exaggerated statements are not what I and my friends who have been at the Ottawa protest for 3 weeks have seen.

We aren't living in 1950s. Everyone has a phone camera now a days and Ottawa, the capital, has security cameras everywhere and yet none of this ever gets captured on camera and nobody seems to capture the face of the people supposedly doing such things.

Can someone explain to me whats missing from Firefox feature or stability wise? I'm now using Chrome at $NEW_WORK and I can't see the single reason why I would prefer it. The only other time I've launched Chrome in the last 5+ years was to use some Google services like Stadia

Killer Firefox features for me are: sending pages to another browser to act on later on (and I use it a lot) and plugins in the Mobile Firefox.
No worries, your cool. But it didnt happen (i mean they did get gassed, but not because of trump)

Note the source (WaPo is anti trump) and year (after the 2020 dust settled)

This based on an investigation done by the Biden admin.

One of the casualties of our 24 hr media cycle is that in the orgy of current news we don't pay attention to the follow up.
Ah that's a good point, I entirely forgot about the work you're doing on P2P, looking forward to when that's mature!
A fork in no way solves this because you can't for the devs who mozilla is paying. Firefox is a huge project requiring devs with lots of experience in the technology who also like to be compensated. You can't fork firefox, you have to change the leadership or nothing else will change.

It is not the employers that are demanding these people be vaccinated, They just want their products delivered.

Big fan of Azgaar's - used it to build the world for my campaign. If anyone else who used it had issues a while back with an update (around 1.6) where biomes started showing over water, the solution is to clip water in the Styles tab for Biomes (per https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyMapGenerator/comments/pygnkn... ).

Strong recommend, though takes some learning.
Wow, trip down memory lane. But does some of this push the boundaries of acceptable content? Or is this to be treated with the objective disconnection of a historical researcher. Eg http://textfiles.com/sex/808-laid.txt
I think it stops being a peaceful protest if you erect structure and continually inconvenience residents by blasting your horns 24/7. Go on the street, show what you protest against, what you want. But don't permanently take over a part of the city, let alone start swearing in your own peace officers [0].

Where I am from, at times of high demand cabs used to eye you and kinda charge how much they felt they could get away. It felt like a horrible practice at the time and when Uber came up I was so happy to be able to skip the whole dodgy situation.

Then they added dynamic pricing and even though I still find it more convenient than getting measured, it amuses me how this practice is now integrate in the technology and all of a sudden it's not sketchy anymore.

I think it has to do with our innate distrust of strangers and our trust of what we perceive to be as a fair algorithms. Even somewhat familiar with technology, it still feels a bit to me that the algorithm is doing its computations in a fairer way, even though in reality it's SV moguls digitally eyeballing me through the trail of data I leave behind.

Confiscating peoples' assets does not exactly engender you to a lot of political support. You're risking a massive loss in the next elections if you do that, just like how Democrats in the US are also facing huge electoral pressures on crime and COVID restrictions [1].

Question: Is the mass intake of water for ag use a cause of "water export"? Is the water used to produce alfalfa, almonds, etc. consumed by the plants and animals and shipped across the globe as part of the finished product? This would be in contrast to a slightly more closed system of water consumption and release before the ag industry took off there.
The upside to USA is to distract from problems at home such as: soaring food prices, energy prices 5 year highs, soaring rent house prices, collapsing COVID lockdown narrative, ridiculous levels of govt debt, Pres polls in toilet with midterm elections approaching.

Practically you don't want to do that. You want them to be useless to someone who steals a tape since it could be a long time to never before you realize it's gone. All the tapes on the shelf look alike.
That is an exaggerated headline. Accounts being used to fund illegal activities can be frozen. Protesting is not and will not be illegal. Blocking critical infrastructure is illegal.
I and my friends have been there for 3 weekends and haven't seen any of that.

This is hilariously inaccurate. Everyone's bringing food TO the truckers and there's so much food there that truckers are refusing to take more.

Amazingly, we live in 2022 where everyone has a phone camera and Ottawa, the capital, has security cameras everywhere and yet none of this ever gets captured on camera and nobody seems to capture the face of the people supposedly doing such things.

Here's one actual violence which did get captured on video:

https://twitter.com/TheMarieOakes/status/1493053006237122562

And there's another video of someone with a mask on who drove his jeep over 3 protestors in Manitoba.

There are plenty of livestreams on YouTube (Viva Frei channel for example) which have been capturing everything.

Honking might be the only thing which could constitute as annoying but that hasn't happened for over a week.

Here's reporting by a government employee who lives right above the protest:

https://maybury.ca/the-reformed-physicist/2022/02/03/a-night...
Germany has blocked 3rd path arms shipments to Ukraine and is bypassing Ukraine with a gas pipeline directly to Russia. Something like half of Germans supported the Crimea annexation and their Head of Navy had to resign after causing international outcry by publicly backing Putin. They’ll pay lip service to the idea, but Ukraine will never be “ready” to join NATO in their eyes.

Macron is calling for a new security order in Europe that doesn’t involve NATO, and has been working to that end. He seeks appeasement and has been meeting and speaking with Putin directly. If Russia annexes Ukraine I’m sure he’ll speak out against it, but that’s all it seems he’ll do.

That’s only my take at least, based on reading major US/EU news sites.
There have been multiple incidents of protesters using large vehicles to smash through police barricades. What do you call that?
"Since most European mortgages are not fixed rate, it will be interesting to see what happens as interest rates start rising in Europe."

It's the second time I see this on HN. However, the reality seems more contrasted. From [1]:

"A striking feature of the credit market in the euro area is the very large heterogeneity across
countries in the granting of fixed versus adjustable rate mortgages. Fixed rate mortgages
(FRMs) are dominant in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands, while adjustable
rate mortgages (ARMs) are prevailing in Austria, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain."

For numbers there are some graphics around p.19

if you squint and kind of wave your hands that's how parallel ports worked, just faster and done by a computer.
But it seems that every time the "unpermitted location" changes with every protest! In this case, it's "the area around parliament" and "border crossings" - in Quebec it was "this particular road" or "these schools" during their "Red Square" tuition protests.

In my opinion, Parliament is almost always a valid place to protest - outside a politician's or ordinary person's private home, much less so.

By invoking these emergency powers, I think it's hard to dispute that the Prime Minister's Office is stopping a peaceful protest!
Isn't AI chemical discovery essentially machine brute forcing solutions to see which one fits/works? I think more attention needs to be put into designing better software solutions then merely putting more computational power into problem solving.
Those who do testing/bugfixes could be the 20% too. Yes they probably will be paid less then core developers but they're still the 20% to keep and get rewarded.
I would say for each job category, reward their top 20% more and do your best to keep them.

I agree, any connection between the Egyptian "foot" hieroglyph and the lower case "b" seems irrelevant, but it seems that the Phoenician letter bet looks kind of like the Egyptian "foot" too, so perhaps that's where the connection lies.

The Wikipedia article for "b" seems to list both the "foot" and the "house" hieroglyphs in the development on the sidebar... not that Wikipedia is always correct.

I think the professor in that video is quite well known and has written several books on Egyptology, so I doubt he would be completely off base on something so basic. In any event, you're absolutely right that there the house hieroglyphs is related. I was wrong to question that. But it seems that the "foot" hieroglyph maybe has some relation too. If you find anything more about this, I'd be curious to hear what it is.
While I still think this is not the ideal move and am in general skeptical of government claims that their invoking martial law-ish privileged comes with self control, I feel there is some nuance missing in the comments so far, particularly that this is not calling in the military and as of now not limiting "authorized protests" according to TFA, but about strengthening the executives ability to enforce the laws that are being civil disobedienced. I'm personally not a fan of law-and-order rhetoric or politics, but if you are, I feel like you should be in favour of this - and think about supporting civil right and increasing checks on the executive and judicative after Trudeau's tenure as well.

---

Trudeau will not be calling in the military, he said.(...)

The move will “supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades,” Trudeau said, and will afford more powers to local police forces.(...)
The police will be given more tools to restore order in places where public assemblies can constitute illegal and dangerous activities, such as blockades and occupations as seen in Ottawa, the Ambassador Bridge and elsewhere. These tools include strengthening their ability to impose fines or imprisonment,” he said.
(...)
The measures will be “time-limited, geographically targeted as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address,” he said. “The Emergencies Act will be used to strengthen and support law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country. This is about keeping Canadians safe, protecting people’s jobs and restoring confidence in our institutions.”

Trudeau said the move could be used to render “essential services” such as contracting trucks to tow vehicles blocking streets.(..)

Financial institutions will be “authorized or directed to take measures, including regulating and prohibiting the use of property to fund or support illegal blockades,” Trudeau said.
(...)
The act will also enable the RCMP to enforce municipal bylaws and provincial offences, Trudeau said.
(..)
Trudeau said he wanted to be “equally clear” about what the act does not entail, and said he would not be calling in the Canadian Forces.(..)

“We’re not suspending the fundamental rights or overriding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, we are not limiting people’s freedom of speech, we are not limiting freedom of peaceful assembly (or) preventing people from exercising their right to protest legally,” Trudeau said.
Better plugin capabilities in general. Also better privacy.

Unfounded assumption.

My own primary reasons for using FF are 2 things:

1 - Use anything other than chromium simply to combat monoculture and preserve some possibility for things that Google and MS or other superpowers may not like and so won't be allowed in Chrome or Edge.

2 - For instance, actually functional, useful, powerful and and user-holds-the-power plugins, like ad-blockers that actually work and don't have un-closable whitelists for paying customers, page editors that can block or modify other things besides just ads like any sort of annoying thing like auto playing videos or chat popups etc. Url-cleaners that strip off all the tracking redirects in search result links and links in facebook comments etc.

Some of this kind of stuff is still possible in chrome/edge at least on the desktop, but only because there still is at least some small competition to compare to, and it gets a little worse every day, never better. Meanwhile I have at least some of this even on mobile. Some things if I can't get it in the normal FF, I can get them in whole other special purpose browsers, which couldn't be done with any browser at all on ios.

Much of this is core browser engine function, not just the visual style of the buttons.

It doesn't look like, it is authoritarian response to something which should be protected.

Using government power intended for things like war to suppress a protest is ridiculous, if this is what being "liberal" is about, I'm out.

I hope the response is a protest escalation. Not my country, not my protest, but I know who I'm rooting for.

Contrast this to what was happening in Minneapolis a couple of summers ago... people burning down buildings, shops, and police stations and the fire and police literally afraid to go places in the city until we had armed forces marching through the streets. Those are the kind of popular uprisings that need to be dealt with, not streets being blocked by unhappy people.

You assume that:

1. there are enough armed forces personnel to police the third or fourth largest country by land mass in the world (the United States)

2. that every single armed forces personnel would unquestioningly obey what constitutes illegal orders (military deployment on American soil)

3. that the entire population would simply sit down and let themselves be overrun by the military.

I think you should check your assumptions.

Shay's rebellion consisted of veterans, still armed with their weapons from the rebellion they'd fought a few years ago, at a time where the US government didn't have a standing army. I don't think those lessons quite transfer over here.
My first post on HN. I've been watching for about 11 years +. I remember bitcoin in the early phases too. It was used exclusively for illegal purposes.

Ten years down the line, I see new arguments. Store of value is very common. My understanding of digital currency is as follows, You get a small file that's encrypted, and you give someone large sums of money. I can have a 10 year old write up gibberish in Word, and encrypt it for you, if you want to give me money. Digital currency has no value, but what people are willing to pay for it. So if you want small, gibberish files with a password, please ask, I'll give you as many as you want as long as the price is right.

Digital currency is scarce. There are thousands of forms of digital currency out there, and thousands more will be created, making a unlimited amount of files with nonsense in them, that people want to buy. I remember there was a site on HN several years back that you could create your own digital currency. I created one. I never checked it out afterwards. Digital currency is not scarce.

Ease of transfer. I don't know how it is today, but back in the day, it was not easy. You had to set up a wallet, they had to set up a wallet. Information had to be exchanged. Just no. When a mom and a dad, can hand a 2 dollars to a clerk and get a gallon of milk. Ask that same person to try that with a digital currency. Ease of use in a big no.

Digital currency is secure. I just saw a post on HN that someone hit the wong button and delete 1/2 million dollars of digital currency. I remember Mt Gox. I see stories every week about how insecure digital currency is, and not 100s or thousands of dollars, but millions and billions. No not secure.

Digital currency is not subject to inflation. Lol, you drank the cool aid. Big players like investment institutions have gotten in the market. Everything that can't do on the stock market they can do in the digital currency market. You don't think they can be manipulated. Digital currency go up and down every day. In otherwords, if you actually think this is a currency, which it is not. Then, you have deflation and inflation in extreme amounts, daily.

On a side note, the energy use for creating these worthless files is not good for the planet, and should be used somewhere else with a real purpose.

I hope I'm wrong, and digital currency unites the world, ends poverty, homelessness, war, and hunger. But until then, miss me on this insecure, difficult to use, worthless, gibberish files.
