One alternative is fostering open dialogue to reach a consensus that satisfies everyone's concerns. Additionally, considering compromise or seeking a third-party mediator can lead to better solutions. It's important to promote collaboration and find the best way forward.
There used to be a GUI for that. Then they removed it. The functionality is still sorta, kinda available, in varying and increasingly undiscoverable ways.

Last time I checked, you had to navigate to a search engine (and/or make a search with it?) and hope its author published some magic special microformat metadata that identifies it as a search engine - then Firefox would helpfully offer you an option to add it as a search engine, somewhere in the address bar. I don't remember if it had any indicator visible by default, or if you had to right-click the address bar first.

And now I learned they "improved" this once again - hiding the feature under a right-click on a search box.

It really seems like browser vendors want to soft-kill this options. I'm just not sure why, especially when it comes to Firefox.
Postdocs/PhDs theoretically are supposed to be paid to advance scientific knowledge.

Physicians are not advancing scientific knowledge.

Also a co-op during a CS degree isnt paid with taxes.
This is not a complete solution, but it seems to me an aspect of the solution is similar to the way the programming world over the past 5-10 years has been acknowledging that dependencies carry a certain cost with them that must be accounted for. Feature flags do too. If you account for them as just the in-the-moment costs of adding a flag for something, then you are grotesquely underestimating their costs.

Personally I tend to resist them, for much this reason. I don't mean that I never use them and you can't find any in my code, but I resist them. They need to prove their utility to me before I add them, in much the same way I tend to make dependencies prove their worth beyond some momentary convenience before they are allowed in. There are times they leap that bar, but I think that generalized resistance has helped keep the code bases in better order than they otherwise would be. I've seen other teams who did not resist and they've developed a proliferation problem.
> Why do we take anti-individual stances, but pro-business stances?

You're presuming a fact that's not in evidence. I know it's the flavor of the month whataboutism to point to PPP as an excuse to forgive student debt, but PPP was wildly unpopular amongst people who didn't directly benefit from it as well. I have full faith the SBA makes terrible loans as well.

Also, anti-student loan isn't exactly an anti-individual stance. It can also be interpreted as anti-University subsidy. And when you look at the absurd wages professors and administrators can command at these places, I wouldn't blame someone for thinking these loans are distorting the market so badly that it harms consumers/taxpayers while enriching professors and administrators.
With localized weather apps available, the precise location in town (east vs west say) does make a meaningful difference in many places.

Sure, but what new insight has knollslaw.substack.com brought to this topic other than "Companies make big launch promises all the time that don’t ever pan out"?
Television was seen as ephemeral and if they never intended to broadcast it again then there was no need to store thousands of feet of tapes for episodes that (they believed) would never be wanted again.

A lot of big band music was lost because the band leaders were against recording music, whether for phonograph or radio.

It was supposed to be a a philosophical objection, but I suspect they also didn't want to put themselves out of business.
It works fine without spaces for me.
As a sometimes-author and indie game dev, I find the sound of that to be exhausting. Tiny companies, and individuals especially, find it hard enough to deal with weird regulations and costs.

Like, some retired Grandma who writes popular mysteries is going to have to pay the government regularly to keep amazon from selling thousands of copies of her work without having to pay her?

Everyone who makes a side project game on itch.io has to keep it online forever, or they lose rights to it forever?
In what universe does someone selling a book I wrote not deprive me of those same sales? How about I sell my book if I choose to and you decide whether to sell yours.
Unfortunately, probably 'yes'.

And the degree to which we have so far proven to be unable to solve problems at that scale doesn't give me high hopes that we'll deal with this gracefully. Adapt, move or die seem to be the options on the table and 'die' is the default option if you fail at the other two.
I'm reminded me of this big red button with red placard reading "ATTENTION: do not push red button unless it is an emergency" I came across in a bathroom at a highway rest stop years ago:

Threads doesn't have a supported public API at all and so is a dead end, but since people still switched in droves, I wouldn't be surprised if Meta tries the same thing with Reddit. In Zuck's words: "They 'trust me' [expletive]."
The only thing that keeps a system functional is external pressure. Otherwise it will always turn into some weird messed up versions of itself that satisfies none of the original objectives but is somehow larger than ever.

Universities used to be separate systems, and you could opt out of one and into another, and most people wouldn’t even go to one at all. But now they are basically all parts of one whole (within the US, at least) and everyone is going and the universities are all failing in the same way.

It could be financial, but I think it’s because of the academic track and social status.

There’s a consensus that college is good and will turn you into a professional leader with a nice job title that reflects elite values (which happen to be a certain kind of liberal but it’s more about social status than politics philosophy). But it turns out the world only needs so many Environmental Justice Media Liaisons, so the universities are just making up these job titles to absorb their own graduates.

Of course, that doesn’t work well financially, so they pay them nothing for as long as possible and then close to nothing after that, and crank up the tuition promising the next batch the same deal.

The students put up with it because it’s hard to evaluate the numbers that they can actually expect from such a ridiculous job, and because it sounds like a cool (or at least acceptable) job title to announce at parties. The fact that a plumber makes three times as much is not worth acknowledging.
> Humans overall will eventually cease to exist. All of us will be forgotten within a few generations, even if we have children. Motherhood/fatherhood is not the "real end game of life." You might believe so, but many others do not. Why are their points of view less valid than your own?

It's the end game of life in the sense that your goal in life is to achieve immortality. Pretty much all of our ancestors did this by mating, and within the past 500 years you're likely to be able to find the names of all who came before you on ancestry, which is effectively immortality in name. Irvin Yalom once said, "They say you die twice. Once when you stop breathing and the second, a bit later on, when somebody mentions your name for the last time" (this quote was not from Bansky).

For those that don't, or didn't reproduce, immortality is so extremely hard to achieve. That's why I mention "increasing Google's stock price" - it doesn't matter, and nobody will remember your name for doing so. You'll leave a good life, but that's it. The only way to achieve immortality in this case is to leave a legacy. For example, Steve Jobs is slated to leave a legacy for as long as Apple is alive plus perhaps a thousand years or more. Of course, once humanity is wiped out, it won't matter all too much what anyone did or ever will do, save for all of the species of plants, animals, and insects we've extincted.

It's no secret that money, i.e. capitalism, is one of the biggest factors why millenials and soon enough Gen Z will avoid starting a family. A lot will do it for financial independence but the amount of married couples that also forego children is likely large. For all of them, they won't leave a legacy if they don't create the next Apple. If that's not important to them, I respect that and wouldn't wish to force them into anything, but many married (or prospective) couples are having their dreams crushed by how infeasible it is becoming to financially support children without both parents working a job.
Addressing climate change and sustainability is crucial. Investing in renewable energy, promoting circular economy practices, and developing innovative solutions for waste management are worthwhile endeavors.
Properly atheism replies that we observe a multitude of things which according to our best understanding don't require supernatural intervention to come into being and literally thousands of examples of prospective gods which are all complete bullshit.

The fact that the concept is probably without merit is a probabilistic statement like most of the "facts" you know. There are no tigers in my house and there is no creator of the universe.

I'm an atheist not because I have absolute proof of a negative but because surety crossed a threshold from probably not to definitely not because that is how human beings work. Most statements that you "know" work exactly the same.

There is nothing in the natural world that has a creator in the sense that you mean. A star, a slime mold and you are a natural consequence of the configuration of matter that preceded the existence of matter we are labeling our sun, that ugly stain on the wall, and you. There is no reason to believe that your mom has conscious control over individual cells that became you for instance any more than the lose clump of dust consciously created the sun.

As we move to the moment where the inception of our universe this of course breaks down not because we need to paper over our lack of understanding with a symbol we invented but because as you noted reality has no need to conform to our intuition or ability to understand.

Genuine question: If Ansible on Debian works perfectly for your use cases, why are you checking out Nix/NixOS at all?

I am also mostly an Ansible-on-Debian user, and know for a fact that NixOS has a few things that might be interesting to me in the future. But I don't want to be yet another person "coming out of the woodwork" :) But for a lot of people, Ansible-on-Debian should solve their problems pretty well!
I think the root rant here, which I personally find unconvincing, is thinking in terms of OOP vs functional programming. Procedural isn't the opposite of OO; objects are composed of many procedures.
I also remember missing that feature dearly when I switched from Chrome to Firefox. However, some time in the intervening decade, they've actually added that to Firefox! I can type "<Ctrl-L>ebay<TAB>esp32<ENTER>" and I end up on the eBay search page for "esp32". Perhaps there is a setting or about:config option that needs to be toggled? Many of Firefox's best features are thusly hidden.
We jumped away from "free market principles" the moment we forbade copying of those past Futurama episodes for 90 years. There is nothing naturally scarce about copies of creative works; we impose artificial scarcity through a government-granted monopoly in order to allow the creation of those works to be funded through the sale of copies[0].

Having a government commission decide what is and isn't a reasonable price does smell of command economy, but creative works already exist in a command economy. The only difference is that you can't Disney Vault your shit anymore. Boo hoo. In my opinion, once you've sold your work, recouped costs, and paid everyone, you shouldn't be able to then pull the coin out of the vending machine and take works off the market. We give monopoly rights in exchange for creative works being made and publicly available, not for them to be made and then thrown into a fire.

My personal opinion as to how to fix this problem would be to authorize the Copyright Office to issue compulsory licenses to reproduce works that are over 10 years old and either are orphan works[1] or whose known owners are unwilling to license[2]. These licenses would only be issued to libraries - i.e. either government-run libraries or non-profit agencies with substantially similar goals to one, such as the Internet Archive. And if someone can actually assert both ownership and a pattern of ongoing licensing then they can cancel the compulsory licenses that the libraries get.

We can actually determine what a 'willing license' would look like by looking at comparable deals in a particular market. If whoever owns Futurama wants to charge $10,000 a view but Disney is licensing The Simpsons and Family Guy out to Netflix for a few pennies per view, then we can safely conclude that the $10,000/view price is there just to keep the work off the market. We don't need the Copyright Office to say "anything more than $X per stream is too much."

[0] This is not the only way that creativity could be funded, of course. But it's the only way that mainstream buyers of creativity are willing to participate in.

[1] Works whose current ownership is unable to be determined. A lot of the games that are legally unavailable in the VGHF study are unavailable because the owners went out of business and the rights are tied up between four different creditors who all don't know what they own.

The disparate impact rule is challenging to begin with because literally every policy has a disparate impact, because there is and always will be an uneven distribution of people of whatever cultural or ethnic subgroup they can be divided into in whatever social roles that exist. It should rightly be rid of. There are many other better ways to address discrimination.
Yep, policymaking is largely a process that has something in common with erosion. You want a statue of David, the other guy wants a statue of Michelangelo, and each of you has influence over what the temperature of the rain is. Eventually you both end up with a statue of shredder from ninja turtles and somehow the guy whose land the statue is on is now a billionaire.
Ask HN: App monetization strategies in the AI era?
I'm building an tool that combines OCR and text categorization of an image. Each job accrues cost with compute time. The rest of the tool is negligible cost.

The outcome is not discrete, so I worry about charging a usage based fee. If the output is not perfect (9/10 times), I wouldn't ask a user to pay for that job. A subscription model is an option, but a user could easily outpace the monthly cost if processing many jobs in a month.

What are some useful monetization strategies you've seen for AI tools to overcome this challenge?

Reminded me of this article I read the other day:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2013/12/04/silent...

"The Library of Congress conducted the first comprehensive survey of silent films over the past two years and found 70% are believed to be lost. Of the nearly 11,000 silent feature films made in America between 1912 and 1930, the survey found only 14% still exist in their original format. About 11% of the films that survive only exist as foreign versions or on lower-quality formats."

It's too sad that we as a species are allowing our culture and history to be lost ... for some temporal profit of a minority of people. Any IP that is 20+ year old should be automatically free to copy.
Given the dude paid $44B for a site clearly worth significantly less than that, and then promptly ran it into the ground, your "tinfoil hat time" answer honestly seems like the only rational answer. It checks out on more levels than any of his actions have.

> but his stance which he reiterates over and over is that vaccines should be safety tested. Totally sensible policy that seems like it should be already in place.

Vaccines are safety tested, so if his actual stance was just that that should be but is not the case, he would still be a liar spreading dangerous misinformation.

But selectively excluding his most extreme claims as not being part of his “stance” is, well, another form of deliberate misinformation.

Wouldn't the author then be extremely incentivized to create a new novel after the well-received one?

Since that new novel would be granted an exclusive monopoly period, and the author now has significant notoriety.

So, since the explicit goal of the system is to incentivize _new_ works, and this system incentivizes _new_ works in that scenario, it seems like an explicit success of the system, rather than a problematic example.

In the current scenario, at step 4. the author can simply retire on the success of those previous books. That _fails_ to incentivize new works. So I'd argue my proposal works _better_ at the goals of copyright in this scenario than the current system.
>Maybe it's because of the time I grew up in, but in my mind the prototypical Type-I hypervisor is VMWare ESX Server; and the prototypical Type-II hypervisor is VMWare Workstation.

My point is that these are largely appropriated terms - neither would fit the definitions of type 1 or type 2 from the early days when Popek and Goldberg were writing about them.

> Or does the thing at the bottom have to "play nice" with random other processes?

From this perspective, Xen doesn't count. You can have all sorts of issues from the dom0 side and competing with resources - you mention PV drivers later, and you can 100% run into issues with VMs because of how dom0 schedules blkback and netback when competing with other processes.

ESXi can also run plenty of unmodified linux binaries - go back in time 15 years and it's basically a fully featured OS. There's a lot running on it, too. Meanwhile, you can build a linux kernel with plenty of things switched off and a root filesystem with just the bare essentials for managing kvm and qemu that is even less useful for general purpose computing than esxi.

>Er, both KVM and Xen try to switch to paravirtualized interfaces as fast as possible, to minimize the emulation that QEMU has to do.

There are more things being emulated than there are PV drivers for, but this is a bit outside of my point.

For KVM, the vast majority of implementations are using qemu for managing their VirtIO devices as well - https://developer.ibm.com/articles/l-virtio/ - you'll notice that IBM even discusses these paravirtual drivers directly in context of "emulating" the device. Perhaps a better way to get the intent across here would be saying qemu handles the device model.

From a performance perspective, ideally you'd want to avoid PV here too and go with sr-iov devices or passthrough.
> Maybe a company can actually do a genuinely decent thing every once in a while

Sure. But I have zero confidence, based on previous actions, that company is Facebook/Meta.
Social networks don't die quickly. But all the trends are down, consistently, persistently, and seemingly irreversibly, and Twitter's traffic can go down 5-11% only so many times, before it no longer matters.
Not my lovely NFT at all.
Imagine the retro game and emulation required to run it forever preserved in a standard format. That's what a concept like NFT SHOULD be addressing. I'm lamenting that it's not doing so.
Ask HN: Is Firefox on Android Secure?
Hi, I'm someone who doesn't work in anything to do with Computer Science but loves lurking the internet so pardon my ignorance,

Is Firefox on Android unsecure because it doesn't have multi threated browser isolation? I've read several articles about this, like:

https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

So I got really concerned because I've used Firefox on my Android Phone for the last couple of years, and regularly visit "shady" and weird sites.

Should I switch to Brave?

Thank you.
