Unpopular opinion: Mozilla has some unique advantage to win the 3D Web.

1/ Hubs and spoke (https://hubs.mozilla.com/spoke) are trying to solve the problem of how to composite and deliver 3D assets over web protocol.

1.1/ Unlike jpegs that can be passively embedded into web pages, 3D assets requires active interactions with other objects.

1.2/ Traditionally, we need a 3D game engine to pack all the assets into one big binary, then build and ship the binary over cartridge, DVD, or recently Steam.

1.3/ Spoke + Hubs is the new web-based 3D engine, which can potentially revolutionize how we create and access 3D content.

2/ Being a popular, open source, and independent browser company gives Mozilla the position of leading the effort to standardize the convention of the 3D Web.

3/ This is low level tech and worth investing in. Also Mozilla makes decent money (> $500M each year) and this is something they can comfortably afford.

4/ Virtual meeting space is just one use case. Admittedly Hubs' implementation is less than super well polished, but I don't know whether they want to be the 3D Zoom in the long run. But I will say it's pretty neat if we treat it like a tech demo for their Web-based 3D engine.

>In a field trial, researchers added abamectin, a pesticide that kills nematodes, to the paper. They also planted potatoes in banana paper without abamectin as a control.

Kudos to the NC state team for setting up this control, and digging into the results, especially when the purpose of their experiments was different (their intent was to find a better way to deliver pesticides).

It is amazing how many times this happens - unintended or unanticipated results from an experiment, often peripheral results, which turn out to be extraordinarily interesting (usually for a different purpose as the original experiment), if observed and followed-up on with rigor and innovation.
But those dependencies would be static. This goes beyond that. I won't call hooks flawed, they are suitable for React's model, but looking at what reactivity does is a different sort of thing. It is a subtle difference at first.
Does nobody remember these announcements from the past 5 years? Why would MDN need a subscription service? Why are Google, MicroSoft, Amazon, Apple, etc. not hosting MDN for free on their cloud platforms? Heck, why are they not fighting over the privilege to host it and put a big “Hosted on Azure” link at the bottom of every page? Why are these multi billion dollar companies not funding MDN when they claim in press releases to be sponsors? Funding MDN would be less than pocket change to any of these companies, much less all of them that claim to be sponsors.

Hi HN, I am Vignesh from Cloudflare Engineering team.

Cloudflare is helping to build a better internet. We are looking for multiple systems engineer positions - focusing on building tools for Databases. Most of the tools were wrote (or will be written) in Go and Postgres.

Interesting distributed system challenges to work on. Think about Byzantine Failure, Network Partitions, Clock sync issues etc. Pretty much everything we work on is open source.

I know that requirement exists, but I'm not convinced that is the reason. They'd be dealing with a bank, after all, who knows the restrictions but more importantly, I'm guessing the cost of the cars is as much and they likely aren't taking a loan for the cars.

There are lots full of cars under that limit that only sold with financing, and the dealers just simply said that they don't take cash. (the limit used to be 10k, and had not been raised to keep up with inflation, but I don't know if it ever became raised)

Additionally: The reporting requirements weren't so bad. Another couple of dealers didn't have an issue with it. Obviously, they bought the car from one of those folks.

And the super-TLDR is that Putin is worried either that soldiers based in eastern Ukraine could invade Russia, dash across the Caucasus to the Caspian Sea and cut Russia off from important blah blah blah, or that Russians could see that Ukrainians are like themselves but have a better state and a better life, and grow restless with the Russian state or both.
Heroic of you to argue in good faith, but I don't see HN as a platform where you can have good faith discussions about politics that aren't simply regurgitations of western propaganda. Somehow all of history is now irrelevant because current events are happening, any context must be discarded in favour of the urgent situation we are in, as if other conflicts in the world ceased to exist. It's a sad situation, but I would recommend not wasting mental energy or you'll just find yourself frustrated and depressed.

Ok, but what is the propaganda value to the government in the NIH now saying that natural immunity is good enough? And which truth do you propose we all believe, that even the naturally immunized must get the vaccines, or that the naturally immunized don't need to?
2010 article. Might want to edit that headline.

I don't miss PalmOS. Terrible APIs, an actual filesystem being a bolted on afterthought, the core OS running in 68K code under emulation on ARM... It was a mess toward the end, new features were awkwardly bolted on. It was a big part of why Palm died, really.

But man do I miss the UI. The simplicity and elegance of the early Macintosh in a tiny touchscreen format. It might be the best use, ever, of 160x160 pixels to cleanly communicate information. Discoverable features, four taps at most to activate almost any function. Anyone trying to design a UI for a small touch screen should be deeply familiar with it, IMO.
Public institutions do this in a lot of places. Apply for a job at a state University or other state-run institution and depending on where you live you might be able to look up the exact salaries of everyone who works there, including your future boss and coworkers.

Sounds great, but it doesn't really work out in favor of higher salaries. It becomes too easy for hiring managers to say "that's the salary band, can't go any higher". A lot of people hate negotiating and accept it as-is. Compensation at these institutions tends to be lower than what you get elsewhere, not higher.

The real negotiation just gets moved to a different discussion: If you say you need $150K but the salary band for the job listing is $100-120K, you can try to get them to create a separate, new opening at the higher salary band. Or they might already have multiple job openings at different salary bands and they'll quickly switch you to the other opening in the system, which doesn't actually change much at all from the hiring perspective.
Without seeing their balance sheet we can’t know what their costs are.

Vague promises are one thing, donating enough to support full time employees at MDN is completely different.

Even if the servers are free, they’ll have other costs.
>First off, you have no guarantee that anyone's client is storing PGP-encrypted mail only in its encrypted form,...

No, that's how it works. Encrypted email stays encrypted until you decrypt it to look at it. I like to call this "encrypt once". People complain that they can't search their encrypted emails. You can make the user enter a passphrase to search (slow) or create an index and encrypt the index with the passphrase.

>...your model for email security on a phone can not be that someone is going to enter a full passphrase every time they check their email.

They are much more likely to do that than enter a passphrase to see if there is someone on instant messaging they would like to talk to. That is the distinction that is being made here. Asynchronous is inherently more secure than synchronous.

I think you have missed the points I made about forward secrecy and messaging. Neither depend on encryption of material on the network.

2. helpful if you can include both a full CV and desired comp range

thanks!
It's good to know that side of things hasn't been abandoned.

> I remain hopeful that we'll get through this mess "soon"

I know you can't give more definitive timetable or details about actual negotiations, but at a high level what does "get though this mess" here mean, what's the short-to-medium term goal that Taler is trying to achieve for how it initially enters the market? Is it possible I wake up one day X months/years from now and just see an announcement that a bank has now decided to use Taler and it'll go live next week, or is this something that's expected to be much more gradual in its rollout?

I don't feel like I have a great understanding of what the process for adoption for Taler looks like beyond the long-term goal that banks would start supporting it and then merchants would follow. I'm not sure if the plan is:

- a bunch of private negotiations happen, and then there's a breakthrough and suddenly within a year half of the banks are using it, or

- a bunch of smaller organizations take it up, and it starts out more niche and starts to grow, or

- somebody someday starts a Paypal equivalent that isn't even technically a bank, just a payment app.

I guess given that Taler is in talks with banks, the hope is that it gets adopted first with those banks; so is the goal that if talks are successful the rollout starts out at an almost national scale?
I would argue they already did achieve large scale trust, based on how many billions of assets are traded on the network.
Which characteristics would that be?
Increasing the number of people available for a position doesn't help you hire a better candidate if you aren't able to effectively screen out candidates.

I don't see why an IQ test creates a filter so small no one can pass through it. It's just one more data point.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please reach out to me directly at dgreisen@openlawlib.org.
A bit of both, really: more sanctions, going all the way up to Iran / North Korea levels, for a country much more interlinked with the Western world. Contrasting to the lukewarm response to all the previous incidents. The NGOs have snowballed as well - FIFA! The notoriously money-driven international organisation that's holding the World Cup in a Gulf monarchy in a stadium built by possible forced labor has suddenly got a conscience? The IOC, who let Russia back in after a doping scandal under a weird compromise?
Just chiming in to add some positivity. I love the idea, having a tangible space to play around in can make conversations with friends much more fun and dynamic than a boring old Discord voice channel. I understand where the hate is coming from given how tied stuff like this has become to the "Metaverse" but this seems like a harmless little experiment. Sad to see everyone trashing it

He's saying, that by saying nothing, doing nothing, to him is the same as approval of the atrocities being committed.

I think this quote says it best:

Bychkov said: "Silence in the face of evil becomes its accomplice and ends up becoming its equal. ... To remain silent today is to betray our conscience and our values, and ultimately what defines the nobility of human nature."

It's not everyone who participates who is evil, rather it's the people who instigate, ie. Putin. It's not even saying that all the Russian people are evil, it's about standing up for them too - those who oppose the war, and are suffering because of it, especially if they can't speak out themselves.

The quote is from here.
