I think it's because Firefox was behind on supporting the browser features that Chrome did, so some pages just didn't work on Firefox. I see that problem happening much less often now, but if I had to recommend a browser to any user, I'd tell them to get Chrome just to avoid any incompatibility issues.

I like Firefox mainly because I fear that at some point Chrome will not support ublock origin and its ad blocking features. Also, ublock origin can be installed on the mobile version of Firefox, whereas it can't be installed on the mobile version of Chrome.
Depends, I think. I remember you being able to finagle a passthrough of devices, the underlying software can do that with little issue and once passed through it shouldn't be an issue, but I vaguely remember there being some notion of that being dissuaded. Mostly because of the increased attack surface, I think. Though that was a few years ago now.

Qubes OS doesn't really solve much in regards to stability and work required to update in a professional setting though, I'd say.
How are they for a grandparents pushing a stroller?

Would you say they encourage a vibrant street culture of cafes and shops?

The ones I've seen, especially in Berlin and İzmir, are loud and a hassle to cross. That's because walkways and bikeways over multi-lane roads are car infrastructure. They are there to prioritize high-speed automobile traffic with few interruptions. I'm happy for the one going up at my gym, but I know it's there to ensure bike/ped political forces can't endanger the trunk road underneath. True pedestrian infrastructure there would involve a major speed and size downgrade to the road, which is unacceptable, thus the political defensive move to pay out the nose for something car advocates would never normally fund.
If by "adapt" you mean severely scaling back local coverage of municipalities, mass layoffs of journalists, and trending more toward clickbait than substantive investigative reporting, then yes, US and UK journalism is "adapting" just fine.
Yeah, honestly the only reason I submit to conferences now is because my advisor asks me to. If it was up to me I would submit exclusively to journals or just to arxiv/open review directly. I think I'll do this when I graduate (soon).

As for the reason why it happens in conferences, I think it may actually be a different set of reviewers. While journal reviewers are going to be conference reviewers, I don't think the other way around is true. I think conferences tend to just have a larger number of shitty reviewers (as well as more shitty submissions). And as you note, it is quite easy to misunderstand a work, doubly so when you're reading under a time constraint. It just makes for a noisy process, especially when reviewers view their job as to reject (not improve). I just think it is a bad system with a bad premise that can't really be fixed.
For conference reviewing, I always try to write what would change my mind and if I think the authors should resubmit to another venue. But even reviewing I don't feel authors get a fair shot at responding. They can't address all my comments while addressing others in a single page.

Edit: I saw your bio. I actually have a SOTA work that is rejected (twice). Good performance jump with large parameter drop. But just couldn't tune or run enough datasets because compute limited. Conferences are fun.
A friend of mine (and one of the best CTF players I’ve ever met) once wrote shellcode that used only the [0-9A-F] ASCII character range and self-modified to access other instructions.
Second reply here because I finally understood your comment and what you meant.

I suggested selective care based on cost and quality of life. That's the logical way to do it even if you think it's immoral. You believe non-citizens shouldn't be helped? Why? "Because they don't contribute with taxes". There are many people who are citizens who don't contribute. Illegal aliens also provide a workforce for vital food production and other jobs that help the economy (regardless of if you think it's wrong).

You also had a issue with fat people because it's their fault. What about people who speed and crash? Skiers who fall, horse riders, any optional activity that carries risk falls into the same category.

"For example no lockdowns, that sacrificed young people over old"

Young people were thankfully much more resilient to Covid
but was this wasn't known initially when the strictest lockdowns were put in place. Health officials were being cautious. What were to happen if there were no lockdowns? Certainly more deaths of old people but also adults in their 40s, 50s, 60s to a lesser extent.

As for the mental toll on young children- the total lockdowns didn't last long, you could go out and meet in small groups even during the initial phase. Many people didn't even care or follow the advice after the first few weeks. However, kids were remote learning for much longer but if that causes development issues what about home schooling? What about kids in remote areas?

What is the specific situation and time frame that cause your child's development issues?

I'm admitting there was a not insignificant mental toll on children, as this study shows[1]. You need to weigh this against the alternative of less or even not having any lockdowns and lack of information when these decisions were made. This means that using data you have now about the affect on children and how Covid 19 affected different age groups as a criticism, which I don't think is valid

I’m sorry, what’s not true?

6% ABV was enough to kill germs prior to their discovery but then suddenly it became 60% in the 1800s? Interesting..

People were boiling “dirty” water to make it drinkable since at least Ancient Egypt. There is plenty of evidence they did that during the middle ages. Obviously people preferred clean water and it generally was obtainable most of the time in most inhabited places:

> Do remember that untill Pasteur proved the Germ theory in the mid 19th centurys.

Ok I will. I’m not sure how is this relevant though. I mean if I understand you correctly you’re arguing that people didn’t understood that boiling water killed bacteria, however they knew that turning it into beer did?

> So no, you are in fact wrong.

About what? Obviously people drank beer and they also drank water, clean water was generally available even if much more difficult to procure than nowadays.

> Also, getting a mug of beer from a vat i

You do know that beer (ale) without hops doesn’t really last that long in room temperature? It can and will go bad in days or weeks. Hops weren’t really used in England for instance until the 1400s..

"- Your access to crazy advanced cancer treatments that are making progress at almost miraculous paces"

If things were improving "exponentially" like you claim, our lifespan would be accelerating and these "miraculous" treatments would allow us to live 100s of years. What's actually happening is our lifespan is not increasing, and in some years has been decreasing.

>>maybe you're depressed

But if these "miraculous" "exponential" medical improvements were real, we would expect to see less and less people who were depressed every decade. Instead, depression rates have been increasing.

One might also suggest if the world were DRAMATICALLY better as you claim, depression rates would be going down, not going up.

This is exactly what happened in the Netherlands, but the US is a wildly corrupt country with very little in the way of actual representative democracy, which is the primary reason why this (locally) correct. In many other places, it is in fact possible to achieve these outcomes through state power.

They claim it’s continuous. If continuous values itself were that great then the vinyl records were great for data storage. The problem with continuous values is noise, durability and precision. You can made vinyl disks with incredibly high precision, but preventing damage and reading back those values is not practical. That’s why even the first analog laser medium had discrete pits and lands instead of a continuous signal.

I didn't mean to say you were wrong in what you chose to write, but also that it wasn't wrong for someone to be highly skeptical of its authenticity. Write what you want and people will take it as they will, I just wanted to point out that how the GP comment took it wasn't without some basis.

As to the merits of your thesis, I'll outline my understanding of it & my thoughts in response:

1) You're proposing OEL as an alternative for RHEL (and other such offerings)

2) People might object to it based on Oracle's reputation (well deserved)

3) People should put that repulsion aside though because...

4) Oracle really is letting people use it for free so users don't have to enter into a $ relationship with this predatory company

However:

People choose RHEL (or any paid enterprise distro) primarily because of the support contracts that guarantee service. This undermines your appeal in #3 & #4 above because it requires the exact thing you're saying users can avoid to overcome their repulsion.

Also, if enough people start using this distro then I have no doubt that Oracle will at some point switch things up and try to monetize that userbase under threat of crippling legal bills.

I say all of this as someone who has actually been deposed by lawyers in a lawsuit with Oracle, where events leading up to the lawsuit were very much a bait-and-switch. I won't bog down this comment with the details but if you're interested in the exact nature of that bait & switch let me know and I'll comment in reply-- it may change your mind (or not) about trusting Oracle not to do something like that with OEL
To ensure that those who possess the certificate, still control the domain.

The main issue is that certificates should really be automated by every web server by default. At least for those with public IP addresses. There are servers like Caddy which implemented it, but it should be basic feature that just works without any additional configuration.

Meta’s Threads Didn’t Launch in the EU: Is That Showing the Failure or Success?
I spent maybe 2 hours with my first set of picks to unlock my first shitty masterlock padlock. An hour later I was through my front door deadbolt. It's not a hard skill to learn, especially when it comes to typical american door locks (pin tumbler). But this is all non-destructive. I used to keep a set of picks in my desk specifically to open up people personal rolling underdesk drawers/file cabinets, when they lost or forgot their keys.

My understanding that your average ignition is a little more complicated (or at least different .. wafer locks) circa 70s-90s and then they started adding radios and other things into the mix. I dunno, I've never tried to pick one of these.

Destructively bypassing your average old-school ignition is still something you can do blindly with a bent flathead screwdriver and some elbow grease in about 15 seconds flat. As is destructively bypassing any given door lock.. well not bypassing the lockper se, but instead the bolt/doorframe generally.
Yeah, does anyone know what causes this to happen and if it can be worked around? I was under the (possibly mistaken) impression that Android backwards compatibility was actually decent (in contrast to iOS).

> I was not talking about the inventions themselves but the intent of the inventor

I know. And I say that "there is no such thing" in the sense of it having a meaningful impact on the outside world. It's solely something for the inventor in private to be happy or sad about. There isn't even a point in telling the world their intention. That's like telling the desert to be green and thinking you did something.

> If it turns out that your new way of preserving apples also can be weaponized, is that really your fault for inventing it?

Yes. Partly anyway, of course the main fault is always with people "pulling the trigger". For the reasons laid out above. Weizenbaum couldn't possibly spell it out more clearly, and your response was basically giving an example for what intent is. We know, the response is that it's a fallacy. To just repeat the original thing doesn't change the response to it.

It seems like a wasted opportunity to set up a new domain (in this case: wikimedia.social) rather than use an existing one with a subdomain, e.g. social.wikimedia.org or social.wikimediafoundation.org.

Europe is densely populated in general but there are villages all over the place where you can have a large house like in an American suburb.

I think cultural expectations are more defining, for example Turks are frustrated with the healthcare in Europe because they expect to see a specialist ASAP even for the smallest thing and they want antibiotics for it. In Germany you won’t get all the antibiotics you want unless you actually need it and you won’t be seen by a professor just because you feel like. Germany will try to make you live healthier life through preventative medicine, Turkey will try to give you a 5 minutes access to a doctor and infrastructure quickly.

I’m hearing about Americans complaining on similar stuff. IIRC Americans feel neglected during pregnancy in Germany despite that the US infant mortality rate is almost twice the German one.

You have assumed poorly. I’m about fifty and I’m a lawyer. I have also worked in tech. At every stage of my career I have collected letters of recommendation and used them to obtain my next certification or position. I’m not sure what to tell you at this point other than to mention that making assumptions is not a great habit.

I don’t know too much about “grad school” unless you consider law school graduate school, and then I can assure you that zero direct requests soliciting feedback from any faculty member were made during my application process.

I admit that very occasionally someone wants a directly submitted recommendation. When this happens, I email the old recommendation to the old recommender and just ask them to resend it.

The major limiting factor for me getting something done is facing a massive list, or worse, an empty list with a massive project as the title. “Get new job - 0 subtasks”.

I begrudgingly stick with OmniFocus because it’s extremely effective at hiding things from me until I could actually do it, but it’s probably the most robotic solution I could think of haha. I’m at least a little more likely to try breaking something down if I don’t have to look at the massive list until things are relevant.

Kind of ties into #7, but one thing every task manager is missing something to keep the completed task… artefacts? Like 80% of the tasks I have end up with some sort of digital receipt, let me keep those in there too. You could even reference artefacts in other tasks as a way to hide them until you have the artefact from some prior task(s). Easy way to reference things.

This sounds like a makefile… oh no.

Local news websites are some of the worst performing websites. Due to the death of local journalism these websites are deep in the vicious cycle of lower advertising revenue, partnering with bottom tier ad networks that are especially spammy or scammy, breaking their webpage layout with ads, and clickbait content. I remember newspapers and magazines were majority ads by layout area but at least those did not spy on you or make your copy heat up and sound like a hair dryer.

If I cut out the worse 10% of websites I could easily browse on 2007 PC. It's sad that web advertising bloat and Microsoft Teams is a reason to buy a new CPU.

It's definitely more dangerous, but so is bicycling on those roads, which I do far more frequently.

It's worth noting, too, that motorcycle casualty rates are somewhat distorted by the 19-year-old dumbass factor. Anybody with money can get a moto license and buy a used liter bike with WAY WAY WAY more power than anyone should realistically have on public roads. An astonishing number of motorcycle fatalities and injuries are solo accidents due to misadventure.

I'm old. I did all my stupid stuff already, and have a healthy respect for being effectively naked in traffic (ie, from cycling). It's still more dangerous than being in a car, but the overall stats mislead about HOW much more dangerous.
