Not only resets, you cannot activate the old way in the Settings anymore. It is hidden in about:config (set browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel to false), but even if you switch back to it, there's still changes that break things.

* With the about:config setting off, tabs that had PDF files from the internet open in them will now, when first loaded, suddenly show the popup. If you choose "Open in Firefox" there, the file gets downloaded to a temp folder, opened in a new tab for some reason, and the new tab's address is the temp file. So, after restarting the browser again, it's broken, because the temp file has been deleted.

* In the new mode (I switched back because of the above...), I have set ZIP files to "Ask me", and even if I pick "Open with ..." in the popup, it still downloads the file into the default downloads folder, instead of the temp folder. So now I have to clean that folder up regularly, I guess.

* Lots of people on connect.mozilla.org are complaining that the little Download Manager, the popup you get when clicking on the Downloads icon in the toolbar, now annoyingly always opens whenever you download any file.

The FAQ (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-downloads-prefer...) about this also sounds kinda condescending:

> I want to approve each download before it happens, is there still a way to do this? Firefox no longer shows the dialog because downloads are usually intentional. Having to click a second time for a download to start is usually unnecessary.

This is really irritating, I'm for the first time in a long while considering switching to Chrome.
And that's precisely because we stopped pulling this sort of crap in more and more places. 300 years ago, the number of religions and ethnicities currently existing in US or Western Europe would have meant a constant state of civil war.

It’s illegal because it’s common for criminals to use other parties to make their money clean. This allows governments to go after those that assist in committing crimes that otherwise would have not be considered to be breaking the law.

It’s similar to knowingly trading in stolen goods. If there are no laws against that then black market trading is far less risky and far more lucrative.
I would argue that it is illegal because it hides criminal activity and is a mean to gain from crime even if caught. When laundering money you are trying to hide that the gains are from illegal activity.
Normally if you gain something from illegal activity, the justice system could confiscate it and no gains would be made. But if you are allowed to launder the money, we would basically say that it is OK to gain from illegal activity as long as you hide it or that it is OK to help people to gain resources from criminal activity.
No. DNS was not affected by the attack. DNSSEC verifies that the contents of the DNS responses were not altered or spoofed. During this attack, the DNS records were left alone. The DNS response returned the real IP addresses in response to queries and the DNSSEC signature would still be valid.

The IP addresses themselves were hijacked. DNS has no authority over IP addresses so DNSSEC would be pointless.
Doing marketing this way is immoral in my opinion. I would even say that such actions can be expected from the Russians.

When you compare products, do it properly. as far as I know, Handsontable releases a new version every now and then and corrects bugs, including performance.
A free society is not one where a few hundred idiots get to take a road trip to the capital and demand they form government. It is not the one where you are free to break any law you choose as long as you label it "protest"

I like how you simultaneously blame NATO for ot attacking every single dictator and for attacking some.

All those countries wanted to be in NATO. Some of them explicitly to be protected from Russia. They are proven right now in Ukraine, non NATO states are sitting ducks for Russian aggression.

You can't "develop" hereditary hemochromitosis [1]. It is a genetic disorder. Both parents need to carry specific genes that when combined in the child cause hereditary hemochromitosis.

I don't know about Canada but in the US it is illegal to donate blood when you have hemochromatosis. I get phlebotomy every other month (for the past 10 yrs) and my blood is always thrown away.

A relative with Alzheimer’s can reliably find their possessions from their watch despite no longer having the mental faculty to remember where they are.

Perhaps they provide no value to the “average” person (as if that is a thing), but they are invaluable to many.
I was in high school mid 80s. I brought my VHS over to a friends to try and copy a tape. It didn't work. We couldn't figure out why and an internet search to discover work arounds wasn't yet available.

So I guess it kinda worked. Honestly though most movies we were watching were rented anyway, we weren't buying very many.

we would tape some shows off TV too.
Thanks, but this isn’t helpful.
How are they irrelevant? Maybe it feels that way in the USA but the UK just went through a period of time where the government was officially and formally manipulating the behaviour of the population on the say-so of an actual communist. That seems pretty damn relevant.

You also need to think a bit about this - why wasn't this extremist fired from her position? Well, not surprisingly, it's because a lot of her fellow academics are fellow travellers, as was often made clear by many of their comments. They aren't literally members of the communist party, but they are certainly sympathetic to that way of thinking. I've talked to them directly, the things they come out with are astonishing.

Meanwhile, nobody even remotely right wing has had any influence at all, especially not in recent years. The libertarian wing of the Conservative party, such that it is, was reduced to constantly voting against the government, which always failed because they were supported by Labour. The "opposition" primarily "opposed" the government by demanding it do whatever it was doing, but faster and harder.
What is a ‘flip ratio’?
You get it exactly. I gave a more detailed explanation of the specific use-case in response to a sibling comment. It's one piece of a very complex data structure that does exactly what was needed efficiently - a dynamically updatable spatial index for geometric primitives.
> I remember some HN user from Switzerland saying that IIRC either his IP is being moved around in geoIP databases between Swiss regions, or getting slightly distinct IP each time; as a result, he randomly gets all kinds of websites in French, and sometimes in German. Imagine this.

Sometimes my IP resolves close enough to the Röstigraben[^1] that I will get sites in German despite having my browser set to English (GB) and OS set to French.

Realistically I don't think there is a chance of that happening. Jetbrains was based out of Moscow (they are a Russian company IIRC) but now they have offices around the globe. If Russia tied doing this, JetBrains would immediately cut off access to those offices/workers and probably sound the alarm to the media on what is going on.

> It landed in an area of Zagreb called Jarun. There’s also a place in Ukraine called Yarun.

That might be a multiple comparisons issue. Yarun (Ukraine) is a quite small town, and if not Jarun (neighbourhood) you could have tested against a bunch of street names / shop names / etc that are located around the crash. In the end you'll always be able to link something around the crash site to anything in Ukraine.

Finally, is this drone even controlled using coordinate input?

edit: Seems I was wrong on the one of my points, now removed. Similar name in Cyrillic.
I'd love to hear your thoughts after using our tool, Finviz is a stock screener, Stock Unlock does not have a Stock screener. I'd love to gain more insights on your thoughts here so we can understand how we appear "at a glance" from the consumer lense.

Is there somewhere on our marketing material that makes it seem that we are a screener? If that's the case we would love to iterate/make it clear we aren't a stock screener.

Thanks for this insight ^_^
The irony is that I clicked that URL on my iPhone, signed in to Safari with everything set to US/English. About half the entries below the search bar(they now add news below) are in Spanish.

My current location is Unknown if I scroll all the way to the bottom. Probably Google unsure of what to make of my whole house VPN where the desktop browsers use a fake location extension to automatically say yes to location requests but provide them with a static location in SoCal that matches the area of my IP block, but whenever I use google apps on my devices, they end up with GPS coordinates that place me deep within Mexico.
The best code is code that is iterated and looked at by more than one set of eyes. I wish all my code had been mutated to its ideal form!

They aren’t saying it didn’t crash in Croatia, they’re saying that the similarity of names (identical Cyrillic) may be the reason why it landed there: A soldier didn’t verify the correct Ярун address.
I rate this video clickbait.

Having done a small bit of work for USPIRG, I question any of the "reports" it puts out.

Everything I encountered about this group was about raising its own public profile and, more importantly, money for itself. It doesn't seem to actually do very much in the "public interest."
"Money laundering" is essentially the crime of "helping a criminal conceal their crime" with specific regard to the financial aspect. It's the cash equivalent of helping someone bury a body - you might not think that's a terrible crime in itself, after all, the victim is already dead, but if it wasn't a crime then it would definitely be easier to commit a murder. Making money laundering as hard as possible is a good deterrent to financially profitable crimes - people don't commit them if they can't get away with the money.
The state suggests that people cannot play nicely en masse without violent control, but doesn’t actually back this assertion up with anything. Maybe I’m a conspiratorial nutcase, but my relationship with the state consistently feels like interacting with the world’s biggest protection racket.
So far cryptocurrencies seem to be really good at:

* Pump and Dump and Ponzi schemes
* Illicit Purchases in black markets (drugs, other illegal sales),
* A means for corrupt governments to skirt economic sanctions.

What they aren't good at:

* A stable currency used for the exchange of goods and services
Is it pro-Russian? I haven’t watched it.. and now I can’t watch it. I just have to take YouTube’s word for it that I’m not old enough to watch and never will be.

Disregarding this video however, I guess “private company sponsored censorship” is the vogue for capitalist governments

While “state sponsored censorship” is vogue for authoritarian governments

One is outsourced, but the result is much the same. I’m sad that people on HN are constantly cheering one form of censorship when they should recognize the third order effects
Depends on who you are talking about. Having no climate control to climate control will cost energy no matter how efficient the heat pump. No car to an electric car will cost energy.

For those who have all the that, the de-growth camp asks that people give up meat, down-size their houses and give up one of their cars. Maybe they should, but that will never win any popular support. The answer is always both though, we need to make things more efficient and produce more energy than ever using renewables.
> DDG does the same, and adds a switcher so you can change between your local language and English. That's great, because depending on the search you want, it may be better done on either language.

DDG also has local and global search that you can switch, without switching the language of the site (so if I do a search with !ddgde I get German results but the DDG interface is still in English). Kagi does the same thing with !reg (for regional)
Depends if you've locked in a CA with a CAA record or not. If not, then yes, any CA that can be fooled is enough.
How many IBM mainframes get paid and are given the capability to allocate their own capital?

How many of the computers we use to program transaction processors and other things are seperate from the entities that operate them? How many human actors were displaced, and salaries saved by cutting of jobs we've automated away?

We look at vehicle automation, machine learning, etc... Precisely because they open up new avenues through which money can be saved by not employing as many expensive bags of carbon and water in favor of throwing a handful of graphics cards, sensors, hard drives, and compute resources at problems that like it or not, we required fleets of humans for previously.

If it weren't in some fashion more economically viable at some level, in some way, I'm fairly sure we wouldn't still be pursuing it.

That's the thing I've noticed.
It's the grim version of the more rosey "we're empowering fewer people to do more with less."
Been traveling in Mexico/Latin Am since the pandemic and this is so much more painful than I expected. I work on multiple projects as a consultant and so I often create a new browser profile for new clients (keep sessions, sign-ins etc separate).

I wrote a script for ViolentMonkey to force "hl=en" to appear in the query string for all google services which has been the most reliable way for me to overcome the problem.

It doesn't work for some services though but aside from signing in to google there's nothing else I can do.

I suspect they'll shut that down at some point too.
Google has literally billions of users. There are people who are worse at using computers than anyone you've ever met.

I'm as irritated as anyone when something doesn't cater to "power users". But if we're trying to understand the reason behind the decision instead of just venting, then it's instructive to consider just how computer-illiterate the non-power-user is for a product as massive as Google Search, and how annoying characteristics may be a consequence of trying to satisfy both you and them.

It doesn't posit the existence of a conspiracy anywhere. "Narratives" can be emergent phenomena, just like religion is. It doesn't require cigarette smoking men in back rooms.

You seem to be particularly triggered by the word narrative - ignore that word if you like, or mentally replace it with "what governments tell us" and which part of what was said above is false?
I suspect they copied and pasted my original comment for some reason.
> Stock Unlock doesn't have screeners

"Stock Unlock quickly analyzes any stock and highlights the positives and negatives we find" is basically the same thing just on a per-stock rather than screener basis ?

The animation on your website is basically showing that, assigning red/green flags based on the usual screening suspects.

Unless you are going to tell me that output is specifically adapted to each individual company and the industry where it operates. But I doubt that. Since to do that correctly requires the sort of manual work analysts do, you can't automate it.
I'm not very principled about it (anymore at least). I like Apple for privacy and quality. But the back-end for my phone is NextCloud/Wireguard and Signal for messaging. I actively use Matrix and use Castamatic for podcasts (including lightning payments to creators). So I'm a fairly pro opensource/decentralization guy, but I need some apps and I want stuff to work reliably and fast. I tried Android with MicroG, it does not work for me, or rather, I'm not willing to make such a large concession for my "ideologies".

Edit: I know where you are coming from, and I respect and understand it. But to me maximum freedom is allowing devs and creators to set their own terms for allowing use of their products (nobody is forced in that scenario). If it's GPL/MIT/BSD, I think that is absolutely great. But I also respect you if you don't and I may use your software if feel I can trust you.
"We won't allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians," says Meta.

They define credible as: having two "indicators of credibility", such as location or method. That is a considerably higher bar than for any other group. And that's referring to civilians, not soldiers.

In a separate, internal memo, they explicitly say that hate speech and violent speech against Russian civilians is allowed "if the context is the Russian invasion". That's sufficiently vague that the policy allows for dehumanization.

I actually proposed something similiar to friends at google maps, that it be interesting for walking directions to advise based on which route would be most shadowed (say in the hot summer in a non humid climate where there's a huge difference between shadowed and non shadowed paths in terms of comfort.
I'm so torn on this.

I 100% support and demand E2E encryption be legal and available for anyone to use whenever they want to.

On the other hand, I also completely agree with the need to fix Section 230. The stories I've heard about providers essentially turning a blind eye to taking down things like revenge porn after victims have won in court is a huge problem. There's an entire Darknet Diaries episode on Kik that goes into just how bad the problem really is.

Want to smear somebody? Just post a business review on Google or Yelp. The person and the business will be fairly helpless to get it taken down. One place I worked years ago saw a review posted about the business accusing one of the Director's of an affair. The review remained up for over 6 months because of the complete lack of accountability.

Something absolutely has to be done to combat that type of harassment because it's slanted way to far in favor of the harassers right now. If service providers have no responsibility to take this stuff down it's never going to get any better.
I should have added that, yes, you can develop hemochromatosis. Just not the hereditary type.
Obviously they can't analyze your purchase history in-store, but I do like how sometimes grocery stores put commonly bought items together. For example the supermarket I often go to has marshmallows, Hershey's chocolate, and graham crackers together. They also keep cans of beans (and perhaps other stuff that goes in chili? I can't remember) by the ground beef.
Almost certainly the computer anyone reading this thread on is an example of increased functionality with lower energy use than previous models. The same holds for automobiles (higher mpg) many drive to work, and several other things in daily life.
I agree strongly with the advice on the page. But more interesting is the fact that the author seems to have registered a domain for just this one piece of advice. I know there are other examples (some are linked) but this wouldn’t scale for me. I have so much crucial wisdom to share that the registration fees would kill me.

From experience, this is never wasted. At the contrary, stating a problem clearly very often helps finding the solution, without bothering anybody else :)
Back in the mid-2000s, I remember there being 3 different language settings in your Google account, the one on the security page completely ignoring whatever language settings you had and always using geo-ip instead. And I couldn’t even figure out why there were 3 different settings for language.

In an asynchronous medium like Slack or IRC, the effort _isn't_ wasted, because the question will stay there, allowing people to see it later who weren't even around when the question was first asked.

The headline for this article is... a bit coloured.

Crypto, in general, is just another example of tech charging ahead while in many cases clearly violating existing laws and regulations.

In this particular case, the article specifically notes that:

> To operate in the UK, crypto ATMs should be registered with the FCA and comply with UK Money Laundering Regulations (MLR). According to the FCA, none of the cryptoasset firms that have registered with it have been granted permission to operate ATMs so those that are operating are illegal and, the FCA said, customers should not be using them.

A more accurate headline would be: "Crypto ATM operators violate laws, forced to shut down".

These ATMs are no different than the shenanigans that Uber got up to: deliberately skirting or outright violating not just the intent but letter of the law in order to "disrupt".

I'm waiting to hear an announcement that these ATMs will start using geolocation techniques to shut themselves down when law enforcement is nearby...
