> There are private doctors in Canada and the UK and they don’t make as much as their American counterparts.

Great example. These doctors face competition from a low- or no-cost private sector. This keeps prices down since every consumer can use the state sector. This is true in many countries w/ state health sectors.

> David Carr won the Nobel Prize in part for his work questioning the traditional supply/demand view of labor economics.

Could you mean David CARD?

https://davidcard.berkeley.edu/

His work of course I know. It is related to the economics of minimum wages. I would not say it questions the traditional supply and demand framework (nor would he say that, I bet), though he does point out an empirical observation which doesn't fit well within that framework.
While I have not donated anything to this cause, as an American I fundamentally reject your humble request.

The reality is that while in this moment you are against it, the second a protest is in your favor, I'm willing to bet you will turn a blind eye. Nearly all international charities are a form of foreign influence whether you agree with them or not, and your politicians are the ones happy to allow these charities to operate within your nation.

If I support a cause within Canada and truly wish it the best, then I will donate to it, just like everyone else in the world already is. I do not support hypocrisy.

I love mermaid, but I'm also very annoyed by the variety of how its implemented in different markdown editors. One thing that I find quite annoying is the lack of fontawesome support - afaik only the live mermaid editor and hack.md supports it out of the box. Other editors require a lot of .conf file editing.

Thanks for the tip of nomnoml, didn't know about it.
Point stands they’re barred entry.

Look, I get it. They’re icky and Canada has a long history of denying or trying to deny entry to “icky” ppl. Mediterraneans, Asians, Eminem (though I forgot about that one eh?).

Canada has just a long list of things its apologized for. Like barring entry to Mediterraneans, Asians and Eminem.
> While there is no outright violence, there is torture to local residents

Why did you use the word torture here? Torture is a well-defined word with an accepted meaning. Do you feel that it is appropriate? Or are you looking for an emotionally-loaded reaction?
Can I also claim that my loud college neighbors are torturing me when they stay up too late on the weekend? Of course I can, but it sure is disingenuous to anyone who has actually been tortured.
Just a bit late for a real-time platform ;)
>nor the comments that I've made.

>>How much content do you see created on computers not connected to the internet versus created on a smartphone?

Me personally, a lot. I even gave anecdotal supporting evidence, and with that, you can assume you've seen some of this content as well. The vast majority of my own personally created content is also created on non-internet connected hardware.

>but I'm not sure what any of that has to do with the point that the author is making in TFA

As a regular end user why do I care about what Mozilla's mission is? Apple makes shiny devices, Google gives me great free services, and in return I use their (perfectly great) browsers. What is one single reason to use Firefox?

As long as these large companies continue to put effort into their browsers (which Microsoft didn't do with IE), users are simply never going to switch, the same way no one is using desktop Linux or LibreOffice or DuckDuckGo.
I switched to Dell because my Apple MBP was dead-dead and their existing line at the time was garbage according to everyone I knew who got one.

I had the same problem as you with my new Dell. On my own I replaced the Wi-Fi card with an Intel one and it fixed the problems. That said, I had the same battery issues, etc. as the original poster. I don't hate my XPS, but I would not buy again.
We are at idea-validation stage so it's very early days for us. The overarching theme is educating users by making them aware of what they are/have getting/gotten into. Somewhat similar to rating agency in the traditional finance world (e.g., Moody's) but not exactly like them.
I'm a lightweight gamer, but i've never had any trouble with drawing gaming windows on i3... I mostly play old stuff or FOSS versions of old stuff e.g ioquake based games, openra, stuff like that.

However i've also tried out steam occasionally and not had any issues.

What kind of games have you had issues with?

Note i'm using X11 still and no compositor, you mention Sway, maybe these are Wayland specific issues?

[edit]

> I tried i3 with programs that expected to be able to arbitrarily draw windows it didn't work super great

Ahh, if you mean the game needs to draw multiple windows, yeah I've noticed programs that draw lots of floating windows can get into a mess, but I've not really used many of them often. I'm not sure why this is, it's not like they are using the i3wm default floating dimensions or anything.

For games windows that start floating I usually just full screen them or drop them down into tiling mode. But then i've never played a multi window game.
You keep making these false statements.

.NET is open source. You're not dependent on Microsoft at all if you don't want to be. If Microsoft closes shop tomorrow, .NET will live on.

You've got a minimal amount of .NET experience (based on your own assertion 3 months ago) and you're spouting incorrect/false information. You were forced to use .NET, maybe that's why you're so unhappy with it. I've used C#/Java/Go/Python/Typescript/JS in my professional life and I've never felt more productive than when I'm building software with C#/.NET. Is it perfect? Not by a longshot. If I had my way I'd be using F#, but alas it's not popular/well-promoted (that I blame squarely on MS.)

You may also be surprised to find out I'd prefer much more bike- and walking-friendly city planning, even to the point of making it harder to drive places, while in fact I drive almost everywhere.

Dealing with the current reality does not prevent one from advocating something else. Am I the one taking crazy pills, thinking that's super-obvious?
You have to actively like content you like and follow people you want to see more of. Have a motive and plan of what type of content you want to consume and you get that kind of stuff..

I didn't downvote you, but you're using extreme language like "torture" (I know noise and sleep deprivation are associated with torture but this sort of verbal escalation is not objective) and the only in-depth reporting I've seen on the arson thing makes it seem completely debunked: https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/1490557119816425474 (or https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/1490525934948081666 - I'm not sure what the right link is). That's a biased source, but I can't find anything comparably factual that is taking the allegation seriously. At a minimum, it's not fair to repeat words like "arson" as if they are established facts when at best they are highly disputable.

I've said this before. There's a strong libertarian bent to HN and I'm not surprised if there's a large contingent of this site that actively supports the convoy. There's people here that are strong supports of Peter Thiel, if that's any indication of where their sympathies lie.

But, most of them are not residents of Ottawa, and the lived experiences of people in that city, particurlarly those who have had run ins with the protesters, or struggled through the 16-18 hours / day of honking, had to walk around or be harrassed by them, see the awful imagery of Trump, Confederate etc. flags being waved around, the yellow star morons etc. cannot simply be dismissed as bad or inaccurate media.

A city is being held hostage by an extreme minority and, even in OPs post they mention that the Toronto police handled it properly, but question the admonition levied against the Ottawa police.

The Ottawa police are complicit in this now as well as city council. They sat on their hands while allowing this to spiral out of control, and now want to play the victim or blame others (e.g. blaming counter protesters today).

It doesn't matter if you side with the protest or not. The sheer fact that they've been allowed to have large impact on the city and it's residents, for this long, is proof that the so-called lack of freedom that they're fighting for is simply not the bogeyman they've made it out to be. Especially if you're white.

> but if they could make it faster than Chrome (not just as fast) while keeping up with web standards, it would work

This is easier to be said than done, as browsers are mostly limited by I/O nowadays. There's a little you can do about it other than introducing something like AMP. I'm afraid Google is going to win this one.
Oh, this is long-awaited, if it works. For context: Mikrotik uses some (semi-)proprietary, but pretty nifty protocols to manage their gear.

One of these protocols, MAC-telnet, has been reverse-engineered pretty extensively previously. But, due to a (not unreasonable) security-related upgrade, the login phase was changed, and 3rd-party implementations stopped working. Mikrotik has refused repeated requests to document this protocol.

The linked repository looks like it may re-enable MAC-telnet logins, which would be great for 3rd-party scripts and management solutions.

(Why? Because it allows you to connect to, and properly provision, any Mikrotik gear using your own scripts, just based on Layer-2 presence. This is very cool for many use cases...)

Exactly. When I was at Intel (working on the Mesa 3D drivers for Linux) we would routinely get reports that performance was less than on Windows and ultimately determine it was because on Windows the thermal limits would be set to e.g. 45W but on Linux we'd be stuck at 35W.

Why? Firefox is just an advertising platform for other Mozilla products:

* Mozilla VPN ($5/month)

* Pocket Premium ($5/month)

And a way to monetize users:

* Google search ($500 million / year)

* Paid ads in the search bar

And a way to radicalize you to fight for privacy, so that you'll donate:

* Donations (400,000 donations / year)

The criticisms in this article are all valid. However, Russia is the one who has surrounded Ukraine with 100,000 troops, tanks, helicopters, and equipment. The worst we can say about the media in the US is that they seem perversely and disgustingly excited that this is happening. Still, I don't consider this disturbing behavior to be "pushing for war." The US media has no control over Russia.
So there's not a market demand, there's just a tiny minority of special interest groups out there yelling about it.
I am starting to agree that there may not be a crash, maybe a slow down in growth, but a 2008 type correction? I am not so sure. Especially if interest rates don't actually rise significantly.
I use Firefox. Not exclusively, but most of the time, on principle.

I would call it usable, but not "very usable". For normal people, Chrome(ium) UX is better. For power users, Vivaldi is a far better choice despite the Chromium browser engine. And for both of these groups, Firefox UX worsens and improves seemingly at random.

Quite frankly, I'm conflicted whether I should recommend Firefox at all. If I say "look, here's Firefox! It's more private than Chrome, and almost as fast and error-free!", and then Mozilla goes on to ruin that perception 6 months later (as they are wont to do), then it's my reputation and credibility at stake. Not only is that an unnecessary ego hit, but also makes me look like a liar (or at best, like an ivory tower dweller divorced from reality).
U.S. Is Closing Kyiv Embassy
Maybe the top companies can do this because people like saying "I work for ___", but I would never consider working in an office again. Work life balance with remote is worth so much more to me than the extra money I'd make working at Microsoft or anywhere in person.
They're honking for 16-18 hours per day. For people that live near the convoy, they've been able to sleep for over two weeks due to this. I have friends and family affected by this. I'm fairly sure this constitutes torture if you don't have the resources to up and leave your residence for days at a time in order to sleep.
The pre-funding requirement is set for 75 years into the future. Thus, they have to forecast how many employees they expect that far into the future, and then fund this pension for employees who are not even born yet.

It's a massive burden because they have had to set aside a significant amount of money that could be used to improve their services. No other federal department has the same requirement, and there are significant savings for pay-as-you-go, since there is no guarantee just how many employees they'll need in the future given unknown technological advancements.

Also, the USPS is a government corporation, which is bound and managed by congress, but receives $0 from the tax payers each year. They are required to make their own revenue, but the profits are controlled by congress.
There's no need for ideological alignment to be notorious. Something being controversial is more than enough.
Why losing marketshare? Because it's a statistical error on mobile, and world is going mobile more and more each year. 60-80% of visits are now mobile, depending on country and website type.

Without mobile, any investment in desktop no matter how good would still mean losing marketshare in general.

But winning mobile is not possible IMO. Android Chromium is just too good, slicker, faster, better managing memory etc, and Apple bans other engines and Apple users go all-Apple most of the time.

I have no reason to launder money, and agree that the government can and probably does know the identities behind most addresses.

I was responding to your specific point above, that some ETH would be "dirty" and some "clean," and potentially have different values. Because of this sort of inadvertent mixing due to ETH being account-based and fungible, this is not really a possibility.

Dollars of course are the same way: account-based, fungible, all worth the same.

I have the same question as you. I will add that it is possible Chrome’s market share might be partly artificial since Firefox might be using Chrome’s User Agent string so that websites “compatible with Chrome only” remain usable.
But they only get that because they have a market share for now. After they don't, which will be the case soon enough, then they are toast.

But if they can garner 5% market share via this new approach then they save themselves from destruction long term.

I find this pretty sad to be honest. How would you feel if you were on a B or C list and got some kind of shallow, automated message like this? For me it would probably do the opposite by showing me that you don’t actually value me or our friendship, just the outcome. Like an SEO guru type or something, full of shallow words.

Friendships, like any relationship, require work. And, given we are human, nuance and authenticity too. I text people when I think about them. Occasionally I’ll scroll through my text message history to see if someone I care about hasn’t heard from me or viceversa in a while. Sometimes it leads to a text-convo, a phone convo, or IRL plans.

If you struggle with friendships and see an article like this as a way to “hack” the system, I caution you to think twice. Less is more. Cultivate your tender friend garden with intention, not automation.

> I have this nagging feeling the US really wants a proxy war in Ukraine for whatever reason

For what reason? There's no upside for the US. Russia overtly wants a protected hegemonic sphere of influence in Eastern Europe — heck, it expressly uses the idea of such a fear as it's argument, and it's propaganda proxies invoke the idea of a parallel US sphere in North America as a defense — and overtly wants NATO not merely not to expand to include Ukraine but to withdraw troops (and demonstrate a lack of security commitment) to other Eastern European states to facilitate that hegemonic sphere.

Russia is the only side with anything to gain by war (establishing a Ukrainian puppet state) or it's threat (getting NATO to back off and enable Russian hegemony in Eastern Europe beyond Ukraine.)

It’s also the only side doing anything threatening. The US has moved forces too small to be anything but tripwire forces against conflict spilling out of Ukraine to other Eastern European allies, while pulling trainers and civilians out of Ukraine with the overt explanation that it is doing so because military intervention to extract them in the event of an invasion would lead to a world war. It is doing everything possible (including not mobilizing forces that would give it credible capacity to intervene) to indicate that it will not fight Russia, not only not aggressively, but also that it won't allow itself to be drawn into conflict if Russia invades Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, has stripped the entire country to deploy essentially the entire combat power of it's military exactly where you’d want it for an invasion of Ukraine, and unleashed propaganda about whose fault it will be if it chooses to use it.

It is pretty clear who wants war.
