> If I can help it, I don't buy the products or services from which the proceeds go into supporting outright hate groups.

Unless I've missed a post somewhere, I have not heard that anyone inside of Brave shares Mr. Eich's religious/political beliefs. Maybe some of them do - and that is their right in the United States to practice the beliefs they choose, so long as they are not doing something illegal. While I disagree with Mr. Eich's stance on homosexuality, it is his American right to hold that opinion, and my right to have my own.

> Christian Henson made transphobic/ableist remarks on Twitter, now I won't be buying any Spitfire Audio products. Sure, they're great, yes, there's a team of people behind them, but so what? There's plenty of other great options out there, why would I want to indirectly fund hatred?

Your right to do so. But again, you're lambasting an entire company when public remarks have only been made by one person. An aside, Brave is free and open-source software, unlike Chrome. I'm sure some people at Google also have opinions I disagree with (in fact, I know they do when it comes to how some of their internals are handled). But their political stances? That belongs to the humans who form those opinions, not the software. And in the case of Brave, it is a great, FOSS web browser with sane defaults "out of the box", enabling me to use a browser I enjoy with good privacy defaults, why do I care about the political opinions of the "leadership?"

Every single company is going to have someone within their ranks whose opinions you surely disagree with. Might as well stop using technology.

> Same goes for companies that fund racial hatred. Likewise for misogyny.

Which companies are funding these things? I've yet to hear of it.

> Are you gay? Are you trans? Are you autistic? Are you non-white? Are you a woman? If you can't answer "yes" to any of those questions, then why are you having an opinion on these matters?

"No" to all of the above. But that doesn't matter - like everyone else, I'm allowed an opinion, regardless of my race/sexual orientation/mental state (when did any tech company insult autistic people?). You don't have to fall into one of these classes to have an opinion.

> Ultimately, yes, we agree that a product or service should just be a product or service, and that bigots should stop with the bigotry, but using their product or service to fund bigotry should be inexcusable.

You're free to do as you please. But, for me, Brave is a great piece of software that I barely have to configure out of the box, and it is one of the only browsers in existence that makes privacy the default. You'll excuse me if I value this fact over the fact that Mr. Eich has some opinions that I might disagree with.

It wasn't gossip. Brendan Eich did contribute to a homophobic cause and there was a paper record of such.

They can, and they have. China has been building ghost cities for years to prop up their own capital figures, all those apartments would be on the books for prices no Chinese could afford, and stayed empty for years.

It seems to have worked out for them and eventually the cities became inhabited. But it was a huge gamble and here in the west we would call it a scam.

Of course one thing you can't fake is international currency when trading with other countries. But this is one thing China has more than enough of because we all pay them to make our goods.

Favorite theory links the two. Animals infected in lab were supposed to be disposed of, but instead sold at the market. It isn’t necessarily that far-fetched: if you are tasked with incinerating a rare animal that you know is going for cash in the nearby market, there is temptation to sell it instead of destroying.
That was reason why I switched to Brave. I hated that feature with passion on Chrome.
How about coordinating to targeted attacks? Imagine a muslim terrorist groups forum and how their coordination works there.

Is it legitimate to take that platform down? You don't have to answer, the US certainly thought so during the past wars.

Is it legitimate speech to write some vague SMS to the wrong person? You don't have to answer, whole wedding societies have been killed for that speech.

Now one could argue, "Yeah but they might have been terrorists, or associated themselves with the wrong people."

But what is terrorism and why does a free society break it's promise of freedom of speech to fight it? Terrorism is trying to reach political goals by (often) violent means, with the aim to create fear. This fear stifles the free discourse in a free society by targeting specific symbolic targets. And isn't that a definition that fits many fringe political groups that would target individuals and make their lives hell like it apparently happened in the case of KF?
At least on the mobile version it seems to be. You get a popup letting you know about BAT when you visit some sites, and whenever you open a new tab the page usually have some background or story about NFT's or some other crypto thing.

The Perseverance rover uses the VxWorks real time OS from Wind River Systems and the same RAD750 PowerPC processor that NASA has been using for the last 20 years. The rover is designed to last and operate a long time.

The Ingenuity drone helicopter uses an off the shelf Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and Linux. While NASA wants it to last a long time that was not part of its main design.

Therefore not even remotely a replacement for Chrome, Brave or any browser really. Vivaldi is also some of the chattiest in a network analysis I saw, which does not bode well either.

I guess that was an exaggerated example. People with 'software engineer' title in my company make a wide range of salary. Where you fall in that range depends on how well you do in the interview. So what the benefit to job seeker if they post 200k - 500k in salary range.
The bill requires you to provide the labour department with records supporting your claimed ranges upon request - presumably to defeat any nonsense like this, but you'd presumably have to demonstrate that all people were doing the same job which would be a problem for employees vs managers vs execs, etc. The required reporting also means that if you were for example saying that the range for janitors was 50-500k the DoL would be able to turn around and say "none of your janitors are making 500k, why not?".
I wonder what their egress bill will be if a large number of people are interesting in parsing this data.
> The article (nor the product page for the X280) doesn't say whether these chips are radiation hardened, or whether NASA is now more comfortable with software solutions to the difficulties of reliable computation in space.

> If the latter, that seems (to a layperson) quite exciting, since more local processing capabilities will hopefully lead to more efficient use of the very limited radio bandwidth these missions have available at such vast distances.

Is that either/or, though? I could imagine building a probe with a radiation hardened central processor (or two), plus a non-radiation hardened "accelerator" CPU that's not considered mission critical. The "accelerator" could be tasked with things like pre-transmission data analysis/triage, and if it fails the mission could continue without feature (like Galileo continued without its high-gain antenna).

Though the value of that might be less than it seems at first look: New Horizons had literal years of time to transmit its data back to Earth.
Let me know if you find something definitive. Figuring out this timeline shouldn't be as hard as it has been for me when you mentioned something contrary to my recollection...
I think that’s actually the Slack origin story you’re thinking of, but honestly discord could have the same origin.
In theory, you would use Earth's resources to develop Mars to the point where it could produce resources, instead of just consuming them.

The goal is to send just enough resources that settlers can then create more of the products they need using the resources present on Mars. If you can (for example) figure out how to cultivate Mars soil to make it hospitable to Earth plants, you could turn Mars into a net exporter of food.

All of this is theoretical of course, but it's not implausible to assume that there's a "tipping point" past which inhabitants of Mars are self sufficient or can even export things to Earth.
Vincent Van Gogh understood color so well that he made paintings that dissected the essence of our color perception. He was hanging with Seurat and Toulouse-Lautrec and Gaugin. He wrote thousands of letters, mostly about his paintings and the usage of color, and his painter friends wrote him back.

Quick excerpt of a letter to Theo:

"I still often run up against a blank wall when undertaking something, but all the same, the colours follow one another as if of their own accord, and taking a colour as the starting-point I see clearly in my mind’s eye what derives from it, and how one can get life into it.

Jules Dupré is like Delacroix in landscape, for what enormous diversity of mood he expressed in symphonies of colour.

Now a seascape, with the most delicate blue-greens and broken blue, and all sorts of pearly tones.

Then an autumn landscape with foliage from deep wine red to vivid green, from bright orange to dark havana, with yet more colours in the sky in greys, lilacs, blue, white, forming another contrast to the yellow leaves.

Then again a sunset in black, in violet, in fiery red.

Then again more capricious, like the corner of a garden by him that I saw and have never forgotten; black in the shadow, white in the sun, bright green, a fiery red, and then again a dark blue, a bituminous greenish brown and a light brownish yellow. Truly colours that can have quite a lot to say to one another."

Here's the most important part of that letter:

"Still, it doesn’t satisfy me. To my mind there’s far more behind not doing it in the local colour. True painters are the ones who don’t do it in the local colour — that was what Blanc and Delacroix discussed once."

At the time the impressionists were discovering that our color sense is counter-intuitive. They were developing methods of painting a color by using contrasts near a gray to imply the inverse color, etc. That's what he means by not "[doing] it in the local color."

You put red by gray and the gray looks green by contrast.

To look at those paintings and say "I guess he painted this way because he couldn't see the color right" is incredibly ignorant. His choices were deliberate and he documented them in excruciating detail.
From a professional perspective, I completely agree.

I used to run into "not enough RAM" situations frequently and convinced my company to splurge 4K EUR on a Macbook Pro with 64 GBs of RAM. I'm very happy with it.

I also had to block several planned purchases where somebody unrelated to the work my team does decided to order MacBooks with 8GBs of RAM for new team members. It's 2022 my dude, the 2000s called and they want their 4*2GB RAM kits back.

From a consumer perspective on the other hand, I feel that current machines with 8GB of RAM run typical software (browsers and whatnot) well enough.
Thanks! Do you recommend any of them?
Times like this I am reminded of all those Swiss CNC shops that offer to train people out of high school sometimes for 4+ years fully paid and then offer them a full time job often a lifetime position. These businesses have operated for generation some for 100+ years now. We are starting to see bits of this come back but I wonder if this country still has the culture to make it stick.

I said software. Have you stopped using 30 year old Linux, Python, Photoshop, etc.? They're not that much newer than Texinfo. Or do you think they should be discarded when they hit 40? MS Excel is about the same age as Texinfo. I guess Excel is obsolete now.

Ok, but San Francisco also seems to be spending a lot more per person than any other consolidated city and county, so while that may explain part of SF's budget, it doesn't seem like a complete explanation. In that list, the next consolidated city/county is Honolulu, and SF was at that point spending close to 50% more per person. (I think that specific example also suggests that SF's spending is not just because local cost of living is high.) Other large city/county examples like Denver, Philadelphia and New Orleans are nowhere close.

Of course the EU can impose rules within its jurisdiction. The EU already has other consumer-friendly rules, such as requiring retailers to provide a 2-year guarantee (warranty) on products sold.

That's because it is. Memory is failing to scale. That's why there's so much investment in alternative memory technologies, including why Intel sunk so much money into 3D XPoint despite the losses. But the market is brutally optimized, hence the difficulty cracking it.

Instead of requiring to tell the salary range, which is two meaningless numbers, the law should've required 50, 75 and 90 percentiles of total comp (not salary!) of the existing workforce at the given level. This info would be made public, and IRS could easily verify its correctness.

That's not dehumanising, that's the reality of who's voting. You can't talk about interpreting online polls without acknowledging the data source and problems around it.

Your focus on bots isn't enough. Real people who haven't seen this have mobbed online votes because somebody else has told them to hate it.

How do you actually tune into people who actually watched it? How do you condition that data from the contaminated mess that it is to something has value to people who want an unbiased review?

There are some technical options, but even (eg) only allowing votes from people who used an Amazon account means cutting legitimate votes that saw it under another Amazon account, from an IMDB account, etc, etc. There is no perfect solution. What's best?

> What would be the analogy with browsers, do you think?

There's no need for analogy -- we've experienced this in the past, e.g., MS ActiveX and other Internet Explorer bugs (or features). There's also the proprietary web, e.g. SilverLight and Flash, before HTML5 Canvas came along.

And then HTML5 was a branding effort. Browsers needed to support it to be marketable to the general public. Things just started working again without needing to install plugins or to keep plugins up to date (Flash) -- it was a better web.

The W3C could do this if the web gets too fragmented again.
I think it's just RAM reaching the comfortable level, like other things did.

Back when I had a 386 DX 40 MHz with 4MB RAM and 170MB disk, everything was at a premium. Drawing a game at a decent framerate at 320x200 required careful coding. RAM was always scarce. That disk space ran out in no time at all, and even faster one CD drives showed up.

I remember spending an inordinate time on squeezing out more disk space, and using stuff like DoubleSpace to make more room.

Today I've got a 2TB SSD and that's plenty. Once in a while I notice I've got 500GB worth of builds lying around, do some cleaning, and problem solved for the next 6 months.

I could get more storage but it'd be superfluous, it'd just allow for accumulating more junk before I need a cleaning.

RAM is similar, at some point it ceases to be constraining. 16GB is an okay amount to have unless you run virtual machines, or compile large projects using 32 cores at once (had to upgrade to 64GB for that).
