- Firefox doesn't support File System Access API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System..., other browsers do.

- Usage of Firefox is very low

I am cognizant it may not be universally true, but often those updates come with CVEs attached to them, a bad side effect of exposing several JITed virtual machines to the wild Internet. I know such advice from random folks depends heavily upon ones threat model, but bear the security consequences in mind, and that goes double if it wouldn't just be your network that may get taken over in an incident
Same in industrial control systems that are used to control machinery where a failure could lead to injury or loss of life (or property). The default is to stop the machine in a state where it is known to be safe, this can lead to some pretty difficult problems if you want to get out of that state to re-start the machinery but the alternative is to continue to move when you really shouldn't be.

Even something as simple as an emergency stop switch and the subsequent re-energizing of the system can be a very hard to solve problem from a control perspective. Especially with Servo systems with incremental rather than absolute encoders.
While I agree, this caveat is true for a huge number of studies posted on HN, if not most of them.

It was mostly an "Old man yells at cloud" post. I'm always excited about small communities online, since in theory they aren't pandering to the lowest common denominator, so there is a chance they could have more specific and interesting content, like back in the day when magazines could target a specific group of people and have in depth articles on tech, instead of today where they have to write for the lowest common denominator to reach the most people for ads.
No idea why this got downvoted, it is 100% accurate.
I hear you on this one. Having a kiddo is what helped me realize I needed to take my procrastination issues seriously.

Still, while I thought it'd be a major driver for more responsible behaviour, it didn't give me any solutions, and I didn't magically stop.

Alas, procrastinating by playing with the kiddo sure is fun!
On the morning after the insurrection around 45% of Republicans were supportive of the violent attempt to overthrow our government. We have courts and politicians not only wanting to kill abortion rights in states they control but prevent people from crossing state lines to get abortions and removing opposing exceptions for rape or even the life of the mother. Secession is a fairly mainstream position among republicans, held by 2/3 of southern republicans. 4 in 10 support violence to put the other side down or achieve independence.

A conservative court has found that there is no right to privacy in the constitution and affirmed that stare decisis is dead while opining that the court went too far not only in affirming abortion rights but in protecting gay and even interracial marriage laws, and even gay sex. This means that basically any prior case that was decided in a way that deviates from present conservative thinking is on the menu. Before it was merely abhorrent that a minority among the supreme court believes Texas has a right to criminalize gay sex in Lawrence v Texas. Now they can if they choose merely redo that one.

So that's whats going on with the red team now please do explicate how the left has undergone a more radical swing. I don't see an idea more radical than tax the rich and give everyone health care with more than single digit support.
I agree with this. One string use case I’ve seen is number crunching. Doing complex math via WASM is fast and predictable and supports a wider variety of float / integer types.

Another use case I’ve toyed with is date time. Specifically trying to figure out if something like the rust Chronos crate is a better fit for crunching and calculating dates than something like date-fns or Luxon. Not sure about this one yet.
> If the average visitor is there for a week, then a million yearly visitors only increase the daily population by 20k

Correct, but NYC had 66 million visitors in 2019[0], which is way more than 1mil you guesstimated.

Which, conversely, would increase the daily population by 20k*66=1.32mil. 1.32mil is a non-trivial increase in daily population at all.

Chronic procrastination can also be result of degraded metabolism. This physical issue is often ignored a lot. A component of metabolism is genetic but rest is sustained by body’s anticipated need to perform work. When you procrastinate, you are driving yourself into low energy activities (ex infinite scrolling). The body starts getting adapt to low energy state. There is less need to produce more energy so metabolism shifts into lower gear. You feel need to put aside real work and get on to infinite scrolling because you physically feel tired, drowsy, washed out. You hope that bit of procrastination (aka “rest”) will get your energy levels up again and you will make up with your time. This obviously doesn’t happen. This is recursive cycle leading to chronic procrastination and will happen regardless of your interest in real work. For many people, genetic component is dominant enough that they would never see this effect. However, 40+ population, where metabolism starts declining, is most vulnerable to this. The only way out in this case is literally force yourself with a lot of will power (or have friends or mentor do it for you). No other tricks described here works if chronic procrastination is occurring due to physical biology.
Was Hitler particularly good at that, or did he just have a desperate audience? The usual downfall that people point to with autocratic governments is that their leaders think they're in touch with their citizens but are really a million miles away.

The difference is that Apple sells to consumers, the general public (if somewhat upmarket). Magic Leap can't because it's not good enough for public adoption and still too expensive. Microsoft maybe could make a consumer viable device but hasn't chosen to lead, but rather go for industry and be ready to target consumers if xR takes off--every year has been the year of VR and the pandemic wasn't enough to launch it. Meta is doing great, waiting to see how Quest 3 compares to Apple's. Either way, we still need a killer app with network effects.
It would be helpful to share an argument supporting your assertion if the goal is to help people understand and/or agree with your position.

If you consider a simplified definition of cognitive dissonance that goes something like “thoughts or actions that do not match your beliefs or values”, then the behavior described by the parent comment could be cognitive dissonance, but probably only if certain things are true:

- The person understands the nature of Google’s business

- The person believes that using Chrome still benefits Google even when anti-tracking extensions are installed

That said, the people who understand enough to be categorized as such are not the average Chrome user. The average user is not experiencing cognitive dissonance, they just don’t know any better.

The author is a bit nitpicky in bringing up errors, but he's right on when talking about a tech-bro worldview. It's no accident that Musk, Zuckerberg, et. al. lionize this guy. He preaches a world where the algorithm is supreme, AI is just around the corner and an existential threat, and the nuances of actual reality as studied by scientists can be reduced to a few pithy sentences. It's a reductionist philosophy that sells well but doesn't really do justice to the complexities all around us.
Good comment.

> I'm not sure how you got it that violence and suicide is all because of socioeconomic inequality.

Because people generally don't kill themselves or others for shits and giggles.

> Suicide is a direct function of depressive issues

Which largely go unnoticed, undiagnosed, and untreated until it's too late, in no small part due to the absolute shitshow that is mental healthcare access here in the US.

> and circumstances that peaks on you at the same time you get that one too many "it's gonna be a bad day" piece of news.

For large swaths of the American population, those pieces of bad news skew heavily toward socioeconomic circumstances. Job loss, debt (incl. medical debt), homelessness, being convicted of crimes because you couldn't afford any better than an already-far-overworked public defender... the list goes on. Even for the things outside that list, they become a lot easier to bear when you can actually afford some degree of treatment.

> giving someone with depression all kinds government reform will do exactly nothing to cure that depression

It will do everything to solve it in the vast majority of cases, and in the remainder of cases will at least prevent "I can't afford it" from being an excuse to get help.

> If you made everyone a millionaire today, there'd still be violence crime

There would be a hell of a lot less of it.

> The best way to cure a lot of the violence is for people to leave each other alone and show some decency to each other.

Which is a lot easier to do when you don't have to resort to crime for basic survival.
It's damned stupid. Eternal growth is a capitalist wet dream, not a practical reality. Economies expand and contract, inflate and deflate. It can't all just go one way, no matter how much you wish the numbers to only go up. Then there's the other issue: I (and most others I know in my age bracket) don't care at all about whether or not there are enough bedpan-emptiers and diaper-changers to clean up the nursing home. I don't care if the stock market crashes and the economy contracts, because I'll be at the bottom regardless. I'm not going to sacrifice my happiness and way of life just to prop up a system that wants me to slave away at less than $15/hr my whole life.
I find present concern with debt the future has no real obligation to pay more concerning than the actual debt. It’s a huge distraction.

What happens if the future bails on paying off dead peoples debt? Get sued by dead financiers if they legislate that dead peoples contracts are not theirs to honor?

Real resource use is a more important conversation to the species than deals made by great great great grandads a future estate try to grift on.

“Pull yourselves by your boot straps and pay off these notes the dead rich took out against old assets over valued by contemporary standards, future people!” Makes absolutely no sense.

I might need something that tells me how much time I spend browsing Netflix only to not watch anything.

My Netflix habit consists of aspiring to actually watch something as a way to relax before bed, opening the app, scrolling through a bunch of lists, deciding “that looks really good, I should probably save that to watch with my dad”, “this looks good but too heavy for me tonight”, “this looks good but only one season that ended 2 years ago, so probably cancelled”, “this looks like a candidate but I’ll keep looking just in case”…

45 minutes later, I’m tired, and either close the app or watch 5 minutes of something only to decide I’m too tired to follow it and that’s that.

I don’t have this problem with short YouTube videos or music. Even books I can eventually power through and make a choice.

But movies and video games I have severe analysis paralysis that leads to a lot of browsing and no actual watching or playing. It’s frustrating.
In a nutshell, WASM is slightly more efficient than Empscripten + Asm.js because it has a binary format and circumvents the need to parse a blob of JS. That's about it, really.

Whereas Asm.js had (has?) perfect backwards-compatibility with unsupported browsers and JS interpreters, WASM requires users to remain on the bleeding edge of new browser features as it continues to evolve, and introduces a whole host of fantastic new bottlenecks as the designers puzzle over how to interface WASM modules with the rest of the facilities JS can already access.

The whole thing is a hilarious boondoggle- an insane amount of effort and complexity for mild bandwidth and page-load time savings- made all the more hilarious for the fact that a remarkable number of people seem unaware that Asm.js ever existed in the first place.

While the food given to chicken could provide calories to humans, it cannot provide a concentrated source of proteins.

That is the main usefulness of chicken, because from vegetable food it is very difficult to get enough proteins without simultaneously getting too many calories.

There are methods to extract proteins from vegetables, but for some reason the current methods are inadequate, because the price of vegetable protein extracts is much higher than the price of chicken meat, for the same quantity of proteins, so few people can afford to eat them, even if they might like the idea of vegan food.
"Be the adults that you want your kids to become" is the best advice. My parents would just pull the wifi plug, I think that works well since its a rule that applies to everyone. kids sports that are uber-competitive suck. stuff like little league can be good, it all depends on the coach and the community.

Crossing state lines really does have certain jurisdiction / formal legal implications. In particular it upgrades the matter from state to the federal judicial system, which usually entails higher stakes for the defendant. If some group wants to see a particular individual punished for whatever reason, then naturally they would want him to have tripped over the technicality that would make his situation far worse. It has nothing to do with crossing the state line being a heinous act in itself.

I nailed everything from context except the particular crime being alluded to.

>In my view the Gold Standard for promotion is not self-promotion or paid promotion. It's the elusive word-of-mouth promotion done on your/the work's behalf by complete strangers telling their friends about you/it and encouraging them to go check it out. My evidence for this is based on the number of downloads of my books from Apple Books, Google Play and similar online venues over the past 10 years.

It's an impossibly imposed elitist standard on someone who is unknown to get to the point where word of mouth sustains them. It's a very Marie Antoinette attitude. No one reaches that level without self promoting as well, they just secretly use veiled methods like botting, the buddy system, and paid advertising to get there.

Each person involved in promoting themselves has a different product, service, or goal involved in their work. A resume is self promotion that is unavoidable in finding work. I think if the truth was to be told properly, it's mostly people who have audiences already, people who own a stake in platforms, and wealthy/popular people that want to protect their dominance that are pushing the "anti self promotion" campaign, so that they don't have to compete against undiscovered talent.

When people are forced to veil the promotion of their work, it makes it very easy to use negative and controversial tactics like psychological manipulation, disinformation, racism, sexual suggestion, and many other negative tactics to promote their work and products as well. It destroys integrity of art and business because accountability is not upheld by nature in the process.

For example, many music artists are literally posting triggering content and exposing themselves in posts just in hopes of developing their user base, and that's why doom and gloom trends so often on social media now, because of the convoluted state of things. Many artists buy social accounts that already have followers on them, and they enlist promo services for bot views on their music videos... Veiled promotion only encourages corruption and deception in my opinion.

The platforms themselves should be the ones managing and equally promoting undiscovered creators and contributors (as they often promise on sign-up), but they don't do it at all without being paid.
>the hardest part is realizing that there are all kinds of tacit assumptions that we bring to bear merely by formulating a problem for Bayesian analysis.

I think the common argument is this is a strength of Bayesian analysis. Namely, that your priors make you explicitly state your assumptions. All models integrate assumptions, but not all of them make you explicitly quantify them like Bayesian analysis does.
It is the green "wild animals" that make this diagram so mind boggling.

This is manifesting now with fiat vs Bitcoin. Fiat has a negative real interest rate. Bitcoin is for saving, and has a floating rate for exchange.

So, there's a lot to be said about Hitler and fascism and propaganda and all the other fascinating topics Orwell brings up here, but I'd just like to point out how routinely excellent Orwell's analysis is. Of course I mostly see the best bits brought out and dusted off, no doubt he did mediocre stuff as well, but it is worth noticing how often it turns out that Orwell, nearly a century on, still has plenty in his writing worth revisiting.
