anonymous editing is important because all edits are public. if you track all edits of one account you can learn a lot about them, depending on what they edit. their political or religious affiliation, what kind of movies they like, many other interests or hobbies.

for some people this can be invasive and scary.

there may be other solutions to this problem, but until wikipedia provides those, anonymous editing is preferable.

Like manybi feel the reimaged reality in this article is as flawed as rhe conclusions presented.

The truth is that Firefox and any other browser that can achieve relevance is a critical bulwark against the advancing Google domination of web standards.

Under Googles dominance the web has become a less private and less free version of what we took for granted. People often worry, rightly, about what governments will do while also ignoring the impacts of companies like Google on their lives and liberty.
In addition to these I also find, personally, that having multiple different accounts on the same domain is pretty common. If you go to the subdomain/FQDN level, it might be less common, but then you have the problems that (a) companies change their login subdomain even more often and (b)

With a vault, I can choose whether I want the URL to be matched to the base domain/public suffix, to the host/subdomain, to the whole path, etc., for each entry. And in fact I do have pretty much every option my manager (Bitwarden) offers in use (except maybe "regular expression"). Without a vault, you have to remember which option you chose, which means you effectively have to use the same method for every site (or at least for most sites, whatever you don't log in to often enough to remember).

It also causes problems for those companies which have "SSO" by using the same credentials across multiple different subsidiaries/affiliates on different domains - I'm thinking here about United Healthcare, who have sign-in at `healthsafe-id.com` for insurance, and at `healthsafeid.optumbank.com` for FSA, using the same set of credentials (and yes, obviously this is a terrible practice on their part, but you often don't have any real choice about using companies with these terrible practices).

And it also makes any integration/automation (i.e. at its most basic "press a hotkey to inject password keystrokes for the current selection") need, as you mention, a list of exceptions/mappings (or else to not work for any sites like these).
Original strain not deadly? I must be mis-remembering those Italian villages and the reefers outside nyc hospitals. If usually wasn’t the virus they killed but the cytokine storm it caused damaging the lungs. Finding out dexamethasone worked and that covid wasn’t as bad as sars or mers helped things stabilize. But people died in larger numbers. And health systems and workers were badly overused for a while.

Remember what you want, but there’s less people here than otherwise would have been. And if you begrudge steps to reduce the spread of a very transmissible disease, well, that’s a bit cold hearted to me. Sux to be inconvenienced, but people probably prefer having living grandparents.

Would have had people singing a different tune if it turned into “sars but spreadable” and targeted those 30-50.
Check the top few comments. I’ve seen this a few places, and it does seem reasonable. People at the top of government deciding to hide what was actually going on behind “green” programs because they didn’t have the capital to access the fertilizer markets. Same thing repeated for the oil markets.

"But the underlying reason for the fall of Sri Lanka is that its leaders fell under the spell of Western green elites peddling organic agriculture"

This article feels to me like the author has an axe to grind ("green elites") so I did a quick check:

Shellenberger's positions and writings on climate change and environmentalism have been called "bad science" and "inaccurate" by environmental scientists and academics, while receiving praise from writers and journalists in the popular press, including conservative news outlets and organizations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shellenberger

The BBC has a different take:

When Sri Lanka's foreign currency shortages became a serious problem in early 2021, the government tried to limit them by banning imports of chemical fertilizer. It told farmers to use locally sourced organic fertilizers instead. This led to widespread crop failure. Sri Lanka had to supplement its food stocks from abroad, which made its foreign currency shortage even worse.

>What they do want and always have is natural language based searches in there language of preference with clarifying responses from the search engine in natural language; that is, they want to treat a search engine like a person and be treated like a person

I agree with you but Google is not yet at that point where it can act and serve people like an Answer Machine that knows everything; both the people's preferences and the perfect answers.

>Google is not the primary problem, the average user is the issue. Unless people realize that — they’re fighting in a war they do not even understand.

Again I agree that casual users are the problem but how we can help them? This is the The Innovator's Dilemma[0] where if we ask casual users what new stuff they want from Google Search, they will answer "nothing". Because even they themselves don't know how their UX can be or should be improved and on top of that they are satisfied with Google's mediocrity. They would just respond "Google is Google".

>Beyond that, complaining Google does not do XYZ misses the point. Google is a search engine designed for the average user and the average user does not want verbatim search. They also do not want: advanced search operators, true Boolean search, regular expressions, API access to search, open source code, real-time streams of pages Google’s crawling, etc.

Complexity of constructing "complex" search queries needs to be simplified so casual users can use such features and queries.

If you're happy with `Errorf()` in Go then you can just use `anyhow` in Rust. Same trade-off. Easy type-erased error handling.

I would recommend it for application code. For library code you should go the extra mile and use proper error types.

I think that Go's error handling is actually fine and most people are making a fuss about nothing, but even so Rust's error handling is clearly superior.
Yes, which is why the EU’s recent legislation is a terrible, terrible thing. The People’s cry for other rendering engines on iOS is a sham (the free market chose iOS among other, more permissive and equally viable platforms). Real people don’t care, and real people won’t notice because they do not care what rendering engine is powering their browser. They only care that websites work and that browsers provide the features they expect. But thanks to the EU, the death of non-Chromium browsers just accelerated to the benefit of no real person. Mozilla will of course continue to make nice browser features, but the day will come when a blog post details their reasons for ditching Gecko. Real people won’t notice and the industry will have further reduced (read: eliminated) engine diversity - the very thing EU was trying to avoid.

> For inter-sat comms directional / beam formed RF feels like a better solution.

You can't get the same degree of directivity. As wavelength decreases, you get more directivity for a given aperture. Light has 1/5000th the wavelength of plausible radio links, so both the sender and the receiver can have much higher gains. You also can have much more bandwidth, and thus you obtain many orders of magnitude higher data rates per unit of power used.

E.g. a 6cm telescope has 82dB of gain on each side for 1000nm light.

A 1 meter aperture (about what a 3.2x1.6x0.2m Starlink satellite can likely present to another satellite) has 53dB of gain on each side.

So for equivalent power, you have 6 orders of magnitude more signal strength, and you can occupy 10x the bandwidth, too, even if you have a very large phased array.

So just to start with... Every legitimate physicist accepts that time travel and other major causality paradoxes are an inevitable result of ANY mechanism that provides a meaningful version of FTL travel or communication. This is provable from the math of special relativity. You need some algebra to show it, but the proof isn't super difficult if you already understand the math of special relativity.

> The minute quality creators leave a platform is the minute it dies. TikTok has not really been rewarding creators fairly, and pushes the idea that organic growth is possible, and that people have become really successful, but many creators realize after months of working for little to no reward that it's a false narrative.

I heard the opposite story from 2 creators in my local language.

Their growth on Tiktok is crazy, one got a million followers in less than a year, this is almost impossible in YouTube or Any Facebook based social media, also the amount of interaction and views on videos is amazing compared to YouTube.

Its why many are going to tiktok, even if they don't like the Platform, its actually possible to reach people, while on other platforms such as Instagram, you have to pay to reach even half of your followers.

Around 2007 Google was paying $1 per install/click through to Firefox back when IE was the dominant browser. It seemed like Google threw a ton of money at disrupting the browser market with FF then followed up by launching Chrome.

The article mentions that FF hit %34 in 2010 and acts like that was due to the features, I don't think it was.

For the average browser user we're talking about here talking about bloat and features are irrelevant. FF's market share is just a number bouncing around in the waves between two giant forces, Microsoft which owned the OS for much of this timeline and Google which owns the pages everyone is going to where it is suggesting they install Chrome.
> It required dirty dealing to get past this corruption.

Why do you think the current state is "/past/ this corruption." It sounds like Uber spent a bunch of money to just "own the corruption for itself." On the whole, I don't believe it's an actual improvement.

You may like the state of the cars more, but the continued overt monopolization and the worse outcomes for labor are massively negative outcomes, even if you aren't in a position to be personally impacted by them.
I’m really glad to see this. Historically Aurora has been VERY slow to support new versions of Postgres (despite promising this would not be the case). But lately they have really stepped up their pace to the point where I would consider migrating some databases to Aurora. I’ma big fan of the feature that allows you to clone a large database quickly (in 30 minutes maybe). It’s extremely useful for troubleshooting issues where you need production data.

The author has no training in economics, government, or science, and he has been criticized by the actual scientific community for promoting his own misunderstanding of science (which isn't quite climate-change denialism, but is definitely not based in reality either).

My point is that he has a strong bias about this and also doesn't seem qualified to offer an analysis on this situation in a country he hasn't followed or studied until this crisis.

> It was a perfect storm of black swan and incompetence/corruption.

Nit pick (assuming you are referring to Covid as a black swan):

Covid wasn’t a black swan event. We knew a pandemic was quite likely to happen (if rand) and before 9/11 was generally seen as one of the biggest security threats to developed nations.

I quite like the term “black elephant” meaning:

“an event which is extremely likely and widely predicted by experts, but people attempt to pass it off as a Black Swan when it finally happens.”

While there is a real problem there, I will point out that it's not that new for elites from wealthy countries to give faulty advice to farmers in poorer countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creole_pig U.S. and other advisers convinced Haiti to get rid of their local pig breed, and Haiti's farmers quickly discovered that the "superior" breeds they were given instead were not compatible with local conditions. That was 40 years ago.

So, while the passage of time surely has reduced the familiarity of western elites with the reality of small-scale or low-income agriculture, the wealthy countries have been giving bad advice to poorer country farmers for a long time.

It's also because others will keep holding out for more if they think they can get it, even if what's currently on offer is a good deal for them.
Once you give up it becomes clear that any negotiation (as they saw it) is over and they need to scramble to get the last terms offered.

You can work this against them, I don't recommend this for relationships, don't build them on deception, but corporate power games are another matter:

- Start super enthusiastic and they think "I've got them hooked, now lets run the game and see what concessions we can get".

- Play along a bit, gather information, and then, without breaking comms, "give up".

- Now it's them that's hooked, they're invested in getting a "win" which they can't get if you walk away, so if they can rationalize it as a win, they need to "seal the deal".
To me the best part of Firefox was its unique ability for add-ons to customize the user interface and add significant new functionality. The architectural change in 2017 (version 57) was necessary but the failure to prioritize the re-implementation of the lost API functionality is dooming the browser.

Firefox's incredibly vibrant add-on ecosystem was a huge differentiator and competitive advantage over other browsers. I still use FF as my daily driver but I have to apply UX customization with CSS just to make it livable. Fortunately, there is an active community at www.reddit.com/r/firefoxCSS which eases the burden.

Thermal event is an interesting choice of phrasing isn't it? Assuming a cooling failure, they could say cooling failure. When I read thermal event I'm imagining...

Unless that's it and they don't want to say the real reason.
Read the paper; ask someone else who read the paper :-)

Your best bet would be to find a review paper that cites Smith (2015) and see how they interpret it and how Smith (2015)'s conclusions jibe with the rest of the review. A few review series even use little icons to indicate "important" and "crucial" papers. Even there, you've got to be careful that you haven't fallen into some weird fringe-y subfield though.

Raw bibliometrics aren't totally useless--I'd bet most bad work is ignored, rather than refuted--but I'm really skeptical that anyone can automatically put a valance onto most citations.
> This is a bad faith reading of what these activists want. It amounts to a strawman.

Not it is not a straw man argument. Non-human primate trials are the last stage before human testing. Eliminating non-human primate trials will increase the risk for human participants(unless they actually stop developing).

Our understanding of biology is nowhere near comprehensive enough to be able to simulate all these interactions and isn’t likely to be for maybe a century.

So if you eliminate non-primate human testing, your options are either to develop therapies at greater risk to humans, or to stop developing them.

Either of those options hurts humans. Thus, you are placing the well-being of non-human animals above the well-being of humans.

I wish there were a word or phrase (or better, Internet Law) for when someone rebuts their own conspiratorial claim:

> To be sure, there were other factors behind Sri Lanka’s fall. COVID-19 lockdowns and a 2019 bombing hurt tourism, a $3 billion to 5 billion-per-year industry. Sri Lanka’s leaders insisted on paying China back for various “Belt and Road” infrastructure projects when other nations refused to do so. And higher oil prices meant transportation prices rose 128% since May.

In other words: Sri Lanka barely weathered a global pandemic, drained its foreign reserves to pay off debts, and had no gas left in the tank (so to speak) to handle the price shock of the first major European war in nearly a century. But no, it's environmentalism that's actually to blame.

I'm not sure this is particularly damning criticism of Notion, but rather of the cult of productivity that has taken hold of a corner of the internet over the last few years. Roam, Superhuman, Obsidian, et al, are all in this too.
