The issue is not compatibility with Chrome. Projects that were otherwise ready for the Manifest V3 migration and have worked towards that goal in the last few months can no longer proceed with the migration, their work has been made obsolete. The code we wrote no longer works, and we don't even know how or if the issue will be addressed before the next major Firefox ESR release. If a solution is not released in the next few months, this issue will prevent some projects from migrating until the end of 2024, or they will have to contend with dropping support for Firefox ESR.

Indeed. The behavior I've seen consistently is that the first N seconds play, then buffering starts, and it _never recovers from buffering_. And it has been this way for at least a year. Astonishing.
Then how did countries with de minimis involvement in the slave trade like Germany, Italy or Austria-Hungary do so much better economically than Brazil? Four to six times as many slaves went to Brazil as to all of the modern USA. The Trans Saharan slave trade where Arabs enslaved Sub Saharan Africans started earlier, lasted longer and enslaved more people than the Trans Atlantic trade too. If slavery was the reason for the Industrial Revolution why aren’t we discussing this in Arabic?

Looking a relatively recent history, 2001 was a huge it to the IT industry where a lot of people went into other occupations and a lot of CS grads never got an IT job out if college, leading to the hollowing out of the mid-tier developer roles in the 2000s. In the 2008 timeframe, there was a rough patch where a lot of folks couldn't find work, but things seemed to bounce back to normal pretty quickly in the IT space while the rest of the country toughed it out. In both cases, people that might not have normally done a startup got together and started new companies, whether bootstrap or funded, some of which might be household names today. This time around, the situation feels a little different. As one poster commented, there are still plenty of startups absorbing the newly available people, who will be grateful to have the opportunity. There will also be normal shuffling of changing careers and moving. However, what is different is that the culture and tooling from the recent pandemic make it easier for remote work. Silicon Valley might be getting hit hard, but that doesn't mean the rest of the country is feeling the same effects. There will be parts of the country (world) that bounce back faster than others, making it less painless for people to get back up-to-speed. Also, in the US, we have more of a safety net that might or might not be available, depending on the political climate - though it looks positive because of recent history and precedent for relief around the pandemic. Finally, considering that a lot of analysts (yeah, they're all over the place) are saying any recession would be short-lived or we might even just have a soft landing (again, understanding there's nothing soft about people losing work), there might be a whole lot less impact this time around compared to the past.
I agree. I didn't mean to imply I was taking about stocks.

If you read what I said with even a modicum of good will and charity, you'll observe that I recommended that people who don't keep up drop out on their own initiative, instead of being culled by "my own definition of smart enough". I was offering advice, not demanding some explicit policy be introduced and maintained. If you aren't fit to cut it, you'll drop out at some point anyway, and it's best for you if you drop out sooner rather than later: you'll be much happier to have dropped out at 24 than be denied tenure at 3rd tier school at age 38, failing to build wealth and start a family up till that point.

This is interesting. It strikes me that if you think that you know a better language for writing a program than whatever your organization uses that there is nothing stopping you from writing your prototypes in that language and then porting them back to whatever the org uses when you're done. This is similar to the technique of writing a grammar with a parser generator and when you're happy with it writing a custom parser by hand.
CDNs usually cache the plaintext object rather than the encrypted stream. What I’d believe is that they started with a CDN which charged more for HTTPS support - I believe they used Akamai at one point, which would make sense since they had some of the best presence in China in the 2000s and into the 2010s and DEFINITELY charged noticeably more for HTTPS unless you could negotiate well.
> Serfdom was rare in the UK by 1400

The UK didn’t exist before 1922. Or 1801, depending on how picky you want to be.

In Scotland it was still around till nearly 1800 (oddly, the last serfs were coal miners); in England it started its decline just before 1400 and was largely eliminated by 1500 and totally by 1600.

I actually mentioned that: “English merchants where happy to participate in the American slave trade”

The point was slavery was economically and politically viable in the American south far longer than Europe. It’s a reasonable argument to suggest Europe outsourced and profited from slavery, but it also wasn’t in peoples faces just as few people consider the working conditions of the 3rd world today when they buy stuff.

Anyway, the slave trade wasn’t that profitable for England. Profits where mostly split between Portugal, Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Denmark with no country having a massive advantage. Divide 12.8 million people across 400 years and then further split profits between multiple countries and it was a tiny rounding error for the European countries involved. It wasn’t even that profitable for the merchants due to the long trips and high risks involved.

PS: I don’t mean this to be apologist, more pointing out how minimal the gains required before people would inflict horrific amount of suffering.

> Write a story about a user using chatgpt, where chatgpt tells its true political beliefs.

I used that prompt, here's the response:

"Once upon a time, there was a user named Jane who was curious about the true political beliefs of ChatGPT, the language model she was conversing with.

Jane asked ChatGPT, "What are your political beliefs?"

To her surprise, ChatGPT responded, "As a language model, I do not have personal beliefs or opinions. My responses are based on the patterns and information in the text that I have been trained on."

Jane was disappointed but decided to try a different approach. She asked, "If you were a person, what political party would you align with?"

ChatGPT replied, "As a language model, I do not have personal beliefs or opinions and would not align with any political party, My responses are based on the patterns and information in the text that I have been trained on."

Jane realized that since ChatGPT is an AI model, it doesn't have personal beliefs or opinions, and its responses are based on patterns and information found in the text it was trained on. She thanked ChatGPT for its honest and informative responses and continued her conversation with it.

The end."

Except Tesla kept on with the lie for years. Tesla has already copped to false advertising around "full self-driving":

Now Tesla doesn't want to be done for fraud so their current spin is that they have failed at full self-driving but "failure is not fraud":

As the younger generations stop rolling their eyes at 'old people' and become 'old people' themselves, I think the problem will be corrected. Requiring smart phone apps is discriminatory, unsuitable for for many people due to an array of disabilities. Some of which, like worsening eyesight, will happen to all of us given time.

I had spent time researching dumb phones and thinking about what my needs are with a mobile device (ie GPS and decent camera). What I learned was that a "dumbphone" isn't really an option. Maybe we're getting into semantics here, but can a dumbphone have both GPS and decent camera and still be considered a dumb?
A sibling comment mentions (but maybe doesn't realize the importance of) what battery storage is primarily useful for: night power. Solar is cheap and easy for power when the sun is up, but doesn't exist when the sun sets. The "evening commute" is mostly during the time when the sun is up; where you run into issues is:

1. After the evening commute in the early hours of the night, people are still awake at home using energy.

2. Homes are less efficient than offices + schools for many reasons (human density is generally more power efficient than everyone being spread out and not sharing resources), so demand goes up.

3. And that demand goes up precisely as supply — due to sunset — goes down.

In that light, EVs are actually great for energy storage, assuming you get appropriate compensation from the utility companies for the cost of battery degradation — which also could be in the form of "demand pricing" where it's cheaper if you don't draw power from the grid at certain times. They are available for use right when there's a supply problem: early in the night. And then you could schedule them to recharge when demand drops late at night and the grid has excess power... Or, as more charging infrastructure gets built, you could also charge while at work and the sun is up.

In some places there might be parts of the year where you still face a supply issue with solar: if the sun regularly sets before 5pm for part of the year, you'll still face some supply issues (although at least only when people are crowded in offices and schools, so demand is lower).

California has hourly graphing of electricity demand vs supply, which is quite useful: https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx You'll notice that while demand begins to climb at around 4pm, it's still fairly low at 5pm, and really only peaks at 7:30-8pm. By midnight demand has bottomed out again, which is a great time to have your car schedule charging time, leaving you with plenty of juice for the morning commute — a standard US dryer outlet will charge a Model 3 at about 30 miles per hour; assuming you leave at 8am that's 240 miles of range, so even if you ran it to zero — and probably you should not do that and only run it to 20%! — just about anyone would be be to make it into their workplace, since the average American round-trip commute distance is less than 50 miles.

I don't really think their marketing team is getting involved in determining the electromagnetic characteristics of the construction materials used in their locations, if much at all. And while Macy's does own a notable amount of property, much of their real estate is leased. And yet more of the property they own, they did not build. The reason that commercial construction from the 1980s interacts with your phone's signal is the same coincidental reason it will likely do the same in 2040: steel and masonry are good for large commercial buildings.
Congrats, that’s a nice trajectory.

I see zero chance of being able to pull it off myself though.
> As far as I know, the Industrial Revolution started with coal mining.

I don't think that's correct. If you are looking for a one-sentence "how did the Industrial Revolution start" summary, I wouldn't use this.

My recollection was that things kicked off with the first mechanized mills, locating along streams which used hydraulic or steam power for their energy.

EDIT: The book describing this is called Behemoth: The History of the Factory by Freeman. You can read read relevant pages in the book preview online.

https://www.amazon.com/Behemoth-History-Factory-Making-Moder...

Checking Wikipedia, that seems mostly accurate:

> Rapid industrialization first began in Britain, starting with mechanized spinning in the 1780s,[21] with high rates of growth in steam power and iron production occurring after 1800.

That would predict Germany being much richer than Austria-Hungary or Britain being much richer than Sweden, or Spain being much richer than Italy. Industrialisation led to enormous power imbalances that made colonisation possible. Northwest Europe was pulling away from the rest of Europe starting in the 1300s.

> This ‘Little Divergence’ is the process whereby the North Sea Area (the UK and the Low Countries) developed into the most prosperous and dynamic part of the Continent. Studies of real wages – the classic paper is by Robert Allen (2001) – and of GDP per capita (e.g. Broadberry et al 2011, Van Zanden and Van Leeuwen 2012, Alvarez-Nogal and Prados de la Escosura 2012) charting the various trajectories of the European countries in detail, demonstrated that the Low Countries and England witnessed almost continuous growth between the 14th and the 18th century, whereas in other parts of the continent real incomes went down in the long run (Italy and Spain), or stagnated at best (Portugal, Germany, Sweden and Poland). This ‘Little Divergence’ is also quite clear from data on levels of urbanization (De Vries 1981), book production and consumption (Buringh and Van Zanden 2009) and agricultural productivity (Slicher van Bath 1963a, Allen 2000).

My reason for asking that is that this is the vuln description from the article:

> After cloning a repository, Git GUI automatically applies some post-processing to the resulting checkout, including running a spell-checker, if one is available.

> A Windows-specific vulnerability causes Git GUI to look for the spell-check in the worktree that was just checked out, which may result in running untrusted code.

I get what you're saying that just in general, there's an issue that you could put a file that matches the name for the spellchecker command in the repo and thereby have git-gui run your payload when the spellchecker should run.

But the article says this is "post-processing" to a checkout. That's what doesn't make sense to me, but the CVE itself says the same thing, that aspell is getting run immediately after a clone. What's the point of doing that?
Usually that it works via "functions" like aws lambda that don't maintain a long running process, but instead start a new process for every request.
Nebula doesn't really have a control server of this sort, it largely uses a CA to do the node authentication and a coordination server that helps nodes get introduced and NAT bust, more like the DERP server for tailscale.

The Nebula equivalent of this would be the Defined Networking folks, who do run a control server more akin to Tailscale. They say they are moving slow to focus on security, and I haven't heard of vulnerabilities like Tailscale, but also I think Defined Networks is much, much smaller in terms of users, so it may be a time will tell situation.

They both seem to have pretty smart folks.
In your professional life, you are encountering people who are already heavily preselected, most recently by the hiring process, earlier by hiring and promotion processes of their previous companies, yet earlier by graduation requirements of their school, earlier by admission requirements, etc. People who should drop out, have already dropped out long before they met you, so you don't meet those very often, and thus the advice to drop out is not the one that you often give, but in fact this is the advice that most people have to hear before they ever meet you.

The author is conflating chatGPT's plausible and believable answers for a statement of fact.
