10 hours of discharge time (20 MW power peak with 200MWh energy storage) is good, but not "long term" to me. It is barely sufficient for storing solar/wind overnight. "Long term energy storage" to me is several days or more at peak power. I'm excited for all these different methods, though, because unlocking energy storage is key to reducing carbon emissions, since most of the base load is from carbon emitting power sources.

Edit: I clarified that I meant the amount of energy stored not how long the gasses themselves can be stored. "Long term energy storage", to me, should be defined as being able to discharge at max power for like a day or more, and this tech is more "medium term" storage, again in my opinion.
Can you explain this one for me? I've always felt that unless one has a tenuous relationship with their employer, longer tenures mean more job security.

I suppose that given enough time in the same role, one would naturally get so comfortable that they can perform their job more or less on autopilot. Combine that with regular raises and I could see how they might be perceived as an expensive employee who doesn't put forth much effort relative to their peers. That would certainly make me worried about being targeted for layoffs. Is that the kind of logic the author is referring to?

It is strange when you're forcing it after a time limit. If a Chinese immigrant in Quebec visits a doctor that speaks Mandarin can the doctor speak to the patient in Mandarin after six months? With this law it's not really clear that this is allowed.

Why should someone have to struggle to understand a medical diagnosis in a foreign language when they can probably barely hold a basic conversation after six months?
I think they may have gotten this from Get Smart (where it was also a running gag), although it seems like they managed to make good use of it in their own right.

> Because it's not really relevant—the laws making it illegal are making it illegal across the board, no matter how early.

This doesn't make any sense. Since the recent SCOTUS decision, laws are surely being drafted in many states right now. People may still be discussing, writing, overturning, and re-writing abortion law twenty years from now. Having a coherent moral position on the issue is absolutely relevant.

> But now that's no longer a concern, the bans are across the board.

This is just completely false. There are fifty states, and most of them have now and will continue to have threshold or multi-threshold laws. By my count six states have blanket bans, and the percentage of the population living under those blanket ban laws is extremely small.

And this is exactly what's bugging me. I think there is a vast middle ground of people who believe all these things:

1. Aborting a fetus with a functioning brain is wrong.

2. Forcing women to carry pregnancies to term against their will is wrong.

3. (1) becomes more wrong the further developed the fetus is.

4. (2) becomes more wrong the greater the harm or risk of harm to the mother is.

And these are the people writing most of the laws in most states. They're also the people that drafted the original Roe v. Wade opinion. These people fall on a spectrum between pro-choice and pro-life, because it's a complicated moral question.

> So it's not discussed much because it's not a big part of what happens.

I think these are Internet goggles. I think it's discussed a lot, given how many different laws there are throughout the world and how detailed many of them are in their timelines and conditions. But for some reason on message boards, it's all Christians unsubtly implying that aborting a fertilized embryo is like making somebody who exists not exist anymore, and on the other side people saying "you're so dumb, a fetus isn't a person" as if that completely settles the question. And the same people act like it's equally obvious that's it's a horrific atrocity to kill an infant that only gestated for 24 weeks, just because its using its lungs and its location in space relative to the mother has changed.

Does it make sense if I say that I'm just as appalled by the simplistically-pro-choice disregard for somewhat-cognitively-developed fetuses as I am by the simplistically-pro-life disregard for a mother's burden? Why is it sufficient that late term abortions are just "rare, expensive, and unpleasant"? Aren't they just as wrong as keeping an unwilling mother from aborting a microscopic blastocyst?
These days https://k6.io/ on command-line. It's open source and you can push the results into their cloud offering for visualization (I haven't tested that yet).

https://loader.io/ has visualization included but the setup usually takes me more time, e.g. generating 10.000 random queries (for a search engine). They have a limit (3 or 5 megabyte, can't remember) on the maximum payload size and I regularly hit the limit. They host on AWS US East coast exclusively which added a tiny bit of latency when testing services in Europe.

Right, I think it's pretty close to parity! I vaguely recall seeing some odd API that wasn't supported in Fenix that was in Fennec, but they're pretty rare. Fairly sure you could access history in Fennec via a webextension, and I think that's not supported in Fenix.

I think what's generally missing in these discussions is that the whole project to bring extensions into Fenix was extremely user-driven - whatever people actually use in any significant volume on Fennec, Fenix supports. And the actual UX of installing extensions is just so much more streamlined and nicer in Fenix.

If you purely look at it from the "most value for most users" perspective, Fenix extensions are a great success. And, it's also a success in purely engineering terms - code that's not bringing a lot of value but yet creates an overall maintenance drag is omitted.

What may have been missing from it is the ideological bit - for a platform to be truly open - and to be a viable platform!, it can't have a restricted "whitelist". And I agree with this. But it's not clear that "mobile-browser-as-a-developer-platform" is a sustainable long-term pitch for an organization as small and as resource constrained as Mozilla.

So, there's a tension between these two perspectives. In purely "rational" terms, what's there is good, and there are a ton of other much more pressing issues to work on for the small teams - bugs, performance, missing functionality that can actually "move a needle", etc.

You can make an argument that in this case, the rational, data-driven engineers won. Which is the opposite of what HN seems to think of Mozilla!
What's probably needed for full webextension support is a strong, perhaps not purely rational leader that will rally folks and actually push the teams to do the work that may be useless, or useful to a tiny percentage of the user base, in a belief that it'll produce a better future. Which may or may not pan out!

> About half of households in the US have guns

I was not able to find a good state on this one. Some stats are reporting a stat from 30 to 40% of ownership with data jumping up and down every alternate year, whereas others are porting 20-something percent ownership. About half of households in US having guns means gun control issue being totally dead.
Capturing CO2 to be burned elsewhere sounds like releasing half the CO2. Not great, but better?

It's true. Not all databases have equal impact, but you have to admit that we all have some incredibly sensitive information exposed to various different kinds of leaks and breaches.

And on one hand, your relationship with your government is not the same as your relationship with private entities. However, at some level it doesn't matter who leaked a particular piece of information. If your favorite gun store gets hacked, and your collection is exposed along with your address, the effect is essentially the same as if it were the government of California getting hacked.
> The beautiful thing about logic and mathematics is that derivations / proofs can be verified mechanically: if even a dumb computer can follow and verify the reasoning, so can indeed a reasonable person.

Even in mathematics and logic you have axioms which cannot be formally proven by mathematics and logic. You do try to minimize the axioms, but they will always be there.

So even in the most pure of disciplines, you cannot be 100% "objective".

Most real life issues are much messier than logic and mathematics.
Taste is indeed subjective. Many of my daughter’s children book uses this style which stimulates our imagination every night when reading bed time stories. This style makes the story mysterious (none of the shapes are realistic), approachable (you saw the paper cut outs due to the use of textures and the shapes as if they were made with scissors). It is flat as a reminiscence of the original games, but also because it facilitates the point and click gameplay (no 3D to struggle with). On the palette side, it uses heavily saturated vivid colours, which accentuates the exotism of such a travel. I love it on my end.

Buying with the intent of selling to somebody else is extremely illegal and taken very seriously. Go to your LGS you will almost certainly see a sign or notice warning it.
That's one reason.

The other is that those API requests need to be rendered with JS which means downloading the JS upfront + rendering time. JS rendering will always be slower than pure HTML rendering.

I will agree for small apps this is negligible, but for bigger apps this means downloading, parsing, and executing MBs of JS. See the Google Cloud console for example or the Spotify web app.

And yet there is another point which is that with SPAs, ignorant developers can cause more "damage". The other day I opened a simple password recovery form, and it rendered dozens and dozens of divs and downloaded (I shit you not) 2MBs of JS.
> It gives criminals a map of exactly who they shouldn't rob, lest they risk getting shot.

This is the mythos the gun owners fashion for themselves, but in reality, they don't live in forts camped out behind sandbags. They only have two hands, work day jobs, own cookie-cutter houses in the suburbs, drink at night, have kids and bitter ex-spouses, follow predictable routines, and are as bad at security as everybody else.

There are plenty of opportunities to get the drop on a gun hoarder. Being brazen has its rewards.
True, but the ability to privately sell firearms creates plausible deniability for a lot of straw purchases. A seller could have claimed to lawfully sold it to some other resident in a state with no background checks. If the gun ended up in a criminal's hands it must have been that person who sold it, or maybe a whole bunch of intermediate buyers.

The original VRML is dead. Around 2001, a successor to VRML started called X3D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X3D), with VRML now being called "ClassicVRML". However, I haven't seen any active development on X3D since I started in VR seven years ago.

I know X3D was supposed to be more than just an XML format for a scene description. Like, I think there was supposed to be an object repository, and specialized viewer applications, all under the X3D name. The branding was classic early-aughts confusion of "name everything the same thing, cuz it's 'integrated'!"

I think X3D mostly suffered from being too much, too late. Most of the VR stuff you'll see in the browser now is either developed in Three.js or Babylon.js (or exported to one of those two). "Good enough, available now" won out. Plus, the whole anti-XML movement kinda put a damper on anything with "X" in the name (though X3D did start discussing a JSON serialization format, I don't think it ever left draft stage).

For the most part, people serialize scenes to GLTF files these days (or a Wavefront OBJ, if they're scrounging models off the Internet). GLTF has a compressible binary format that makes comparable scenes a lot smaller.

One might draw a rough analogy to GLTF => PNG, OBJ => GIF, X3D => Jpeg2000. It just never got enough adoption.

I suppose naive realism when reading the news (and social media) means that you think you can spot the misinformation and other people can't.

I try to notice my own ignorance and thereby avoid "instant expert" syndrome. If I just read a news story or two about some hot-button issue, I try not to assume that I know much about it.

There are overconfident reactions everywhere, though. It's hard to resist poking at them.
For the same reason they pay $80 for a single use copy of an ebook: because users expect it and don't really care about the excuse. Users see that other libraries offer a service, they see the services they want to use and no number of spreadsheets will make them happy with answer "no".

So basically you’re saying we must always go through the full rigid bureaucratic process with no exceptions, flexibility, or consideration for urgent sudden crises that are outside the scope the standard process was designed for.

And actually beyond that, the process that is supposed to take care of time sensitive emergencies is to be ignored, I.e. emergency use authorizations.

My point is that those mistakes are made by plenty of ransomware gangs, some of the largest dark markets to ever exist (AlphaBay, Silk Road, etc.), Freedom Hosting, and more. All of which were, at some point, major entities on the darknet making absolutely rudimentary opsec mistakes.
You'd be surprised. I've worked at many startups and mid-sized companies. You don't actually "need" to do most of those things. I've did a consulting job for a company with 100's of millions in revenue that didn't patch its servers for years. One had a 1400 day uptime!
First: This assumes that the EC needs fixing. That's... not a universally held belief. And those who don't share that belief won't agree that this is actually a fix.

Second: Are you trying to create another "alternate slates of electors" situation? Because this is likely to do so.

Third: This is going to get thrown to a court test. It would be really nice if that court test were before a presidential election was at stake. Unfortunately, the courts do not like "hypothetical" suits.

And the candidates need to know before the election. If you're campaigning for the total popular vote, you'd campaign differently than if you were campaigning to win certain states.

My anonymous gun ownership make me and my neighbors safer because I:

1. Can protect myself and my family.

2. Gun seeking criminals (e.g. Mexican drug cartels) that are better armed for the occasion do not know to target my house for my rifles, shotgun and handgun.

3. Burgling my very (yet cool) progressive neighbors is risky since every other house in America has a gun (I found a corner of swing state America that looks down on lawn signs). Widespread gun ownership significantly lowers the EV of committing crime.
That’s a very serious allegation to throw around when regular old incompetence is a viable explanation.
