Actually you can't. You can donate to the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation. But Firefox is owned by the for-profit Mozilla Corporation (which itself is wholly owned by the foundation). The Foundation does "other stuff" in addition to directing the Corporation to develop firefox (what exactly? it's not clear to me). It's managed like a single entity, but the org is broken up like this for some #bigcorp reason (taxes, control how profits are allocated, or some such). Not to drag on it, do business however you want, but my point is that you can't directly donate to firefox development because you have no say on how the Foundation allocates its funds.

It's a bit complicated so I drew up a little diagram:

1. Mozilla Foundation (not for profit) <- Donations accepted here
├── 2. Mozilla Corporation (for profit, wholly owned by the foundation so all profit goes to the foundation) X- No donations
│ └── 3. Firefox X- No donations
└── 4. Other social causes (??? it's not clear)

At least, that's how I understand it. Honestly I'm super curious about what the benefits of this kind of org structure are, and what objectives they optimize for. This org structure is clearly not an accident...
It's not entirely true that "const" is "just a comment," depending on the use case. In machines with super-limited RAM you can use const on globals to tell the compiler "put this in .rodata"

In other words, "const" (in a global context) can tell the compiler "you don't have to copy this to RAM, just read it directly from non-volatile storage." Obviously, that would be undesirable on a desktop computer, but if you're dealing with a wee little microcontroller, it's very helpful.
Mozilla apparently had laid off the entire team that handled MDN[1]. They seem to have tried to make MDN itself a business unit, too, now with premium subscriptions and an integrated AI chat I guess. Though, I didn't really follow what happened after that, so I'm not sure what really happened and what effects it has had in the longer term.

The Martinez refinery has had two accidental releases in the past 12 months. I have some family in the area and they were advised to shelter indoors with all their windows shut for one of them.

"Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future. USGS scientists can only calculate the probability that a significant earthquake will occur in a specific area within a certain number of years."

Yeah it's a shame these aren't available for Firefox Mobile. At least one of the redirect plugins would be nice.
Easy. 14÷(14+1+8) = 0.608695652 Oops.

Maybe they didn't include the missed prediction.

14÷(14+8) = 0.636363636

Maybe they rounded up. A lot.
Ask HN: Multi national corporation labor laws
I have noticed that many multinational corporations that own a business in the US have been filling US based projects with non U.S. workers from other sister entities in other countries .What legal mechanism are companies using they to do this considering they did not directly hire a non U.S. based worker as an employee ? At least , as far as I know.
Japan has had a privatized rail system with none of these issues.
Which would be the nail in the coffin for any relevance Firefox has. If you worry about their lack of sway in standards bodies as a browser with 3-4% marketshare, they will be completely and utterly irrelevant with <1% marketshare, which is what being a paid browser would result in.
That keeps being paraded around but is extremely unlikely. It would have happened by now
I have a 15 Pro Max and just experienced the “overheating” for the first time. Want to know why? A news website asked me to disable my adblock to continue reading an article. I did so, and when the page reloaded my phone started to get hot. There was an auto playing video and a sticky banner bar at the bottom of the viewport, and animated ads every couple of paragraphs. Overheating stopped after I closed the tab. Hardware defect, or lesson about importance of content blockers?
Not enough people would happily pay extra for this idea to fly
> The AI accurately predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance, with 14 forecasts coming true within 200 miles of their estimated locations and matching their anticipated magnitudes. However, it issued eight false warnings and missed one earthquake.

How does this work out to 70%? It made 23 predictions, 14 were right and 9 were wrong. 14 of 23 is 60.8%

I also wonder what counts as a success. If it predicts an earthquake and one occurs, but too weak to hurt anybody, does that count as success or a false warning? What do you do with earthquake warnings anyway, preposition yourself under a doorframe? I guess humanitarian organizations could use this to pre-stage emergency supplies, but if false warnings are common and true warnings don't seem actionable most people will probably ignore it.
Most of Comcast’s internet is exchanged through transit-free peering agreements, so only about 1% of Comcast’s outbound traffic requires them to pay for IP transit. And that traffic is mainly overseas, so Comcast is effectively a Tier 1 network in the US. Which means their customers’ outbound traffic doesn’t cost them anything.

For most last-mile ISPs, peering isn’t a revenue source. Small ISPs have to pay for peering and IP transit, and large ISPs have transit-free peering agreements with most, if not all, of the internet.

However, large ISPs that enjoy regional monopolies can refuse to upgrade connections with peered networks in an attempt to force the content providers sending traffic over the peered network to instead peer directly with the ISP.

This tactic is really only feasible for ISPs who have captive customers that are unable to switch to another ISP, as the negotiation process requires the ISP to allow the service it is providing to its actual customers to degrade to such an extent that the content provider is forced to peer directly with the ISP.
A wonderful security through obscurity way to hide a program.

It's a purely web-based desktop environment sitting at https://linuxontheweb.github.io/. That was the first link on the page. I've already tested it on Chrome, Edge and Firefox. I don't have access to Safari, so you can possibly let me know if there are any issues with it.
Not the person you're responding to, but from how they phrased it I suspect they'd be annoyed that they're having to pay for YouTube Music as part of Premium.

I was looking at AX9000 for OpenWRT. Are these issues still present in the latest release?
I think it sounds more like 93% (14 predicted/(14 + 1) total earthquakes).

False positives aren't failures to predict an earthquake, they're a different error with a different consequences.

Of course, I'm not sure why I would trust the absolute numbers reported are more accurate than the percentages reported...
Yeah the eu should really be worried. When masses of people have no shame or fear hiding sympathy for obviously terrorist actions then there’s a massive massive issue at hand and thats not a YouTube or tiktok video. Thats a power vacuum that will manifest itself in grotesque ways in the coming future. The dark forces to be are only beginning to realise it.
There are quite a few similarities between the Elo rating system and Kalman filters. I’ve always thought this would be a good way to teach them, because you can start with a simplified univariate case, then modify and generalize from there.
How are they not EU companies also if they operate in the EU?
"A week in advance" is overstating it. It forecast the week of the earthquake, counting a hit in a radius of 200 miles. That is probably exciting for the researchers, but of no current practical value.
We need to threaten Europe with 100% tariffs until they turn off the GDPR warnings.
As an American, I'm glad someone who shares interests with the US has the competence and power to regulate our tech megacorps. It seems like our government is totally disinterested in doing it themselves.
>However, one should not forget the special circumstances due to German reunification in the last 30+ years.

This is extremely misleading. Eastern Germany had a better educational system than the west and higher female labor participation. A better example might be like if the USA opened it's boarder to Cuba, and was flooded by doctors and engineers.
Here's a program that will predict 100% of earthquakes a full day in advance:

while true:

I really wish publishers would be a bit more careful with how they frame numerical claims.
It's a tangent, but that $10 roast beef sandwich is gigantic. I was surprised when they rolled out such an expensive food court item, and so I bought it, and I couldn't finish it. I took half of it home to eat later. I am not a light eater.
> One study showed that individuals on calorie restriction lost muscle mass and an average of 20 pounds of weight over the first year and maintained their weight for the second year. However, despite losing muscle mass, calorie restriction participants did not lose muscle strength, indicating calorie restriction improved the amount of force generated by each unit of muscle mass, called muscle specific force.

If people lost 20 lbs in the first year of a 12% calorie restricted diet then that means that this study took place among people who were already obese (which seems extremely relevant). Anyone who is in good shape and not 6'8 is in no position to lose 20 lbs without serious risks to their health, aside from vastly decreased muscle strength. It is interesting, but not very surprising, that obese people with atrophied muscles don't lose "strength" by cutting calories and losing some muscle mass, which is very low to begin with.
One of the voices sounds just like her.
The upside of this is that password managers don't need to adjust and you don't need to look up your password when logging in the next time as the existing stored password will still be selected automatically. I always hate having to go through such things when sites decide that logging in through www.example.com isn't good enough and it needs to be login.example.com (and a year later, accounts.example.com)
The authors of the default filter lists definitely try and block these - the biggest problems seem to be YouTube changing things faster than the default filter lists normally auto-update, or other filters/extensions conflicting. Ref: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/173jmog/youtu...
I thought that was their strategy in recent years also, so center around the Firefox brand. So this is the opposite direction
> Ad data is not worth that much money,

Google and facebook, some of the highest-valued companies ever to exist, make most of their money from ads. The ridiculous SV software engineering salaries aren't powered by goodwill, but by a need to compete with the salaries offered by these ad companies. Unity - a company making a game engine - is working on a licensing model where using their ad network gets you favorable rates. That is: the revenue model for a game engine is to include ad revenue from games that use their engine.

If ad data was truly not worth so much, the internet would be better. So. Much. Better.
Why hire a designer locally, when you already have a designer on the payroll in [cheap country]?
The real adblocker is people uploading their videos to s3 (or s3 compatible) in the first place :-)

Youtube was revolutionary when it came out but now it doesn’t offer much other than discoverablity. Since you need to work hard to be discovered anyway you can do that via X (etc.)

Just need some people to make the tools so average jo can do it.
There is nowhere near enough kelp in the ocean to produce a useful amount of fuel. It grows only in relatively shallow water, and serves as a critical habitat and food source for many species. Some kelp is already harvested for other purposes.

> I'm convinced that by now after decades of bandwidth improvements etc we'd have free videos in the same way. But Google went the monopoly route with YouTube. I will not reward them for that.

What's stopping you from creating a service for free videos if you're so convinced? Or atleast throw together a plan for this so someone else can create it.
Haha, yeah no.

You said - you did not lack for the necessities. Not even housing! Nor schooling. Nor food. Not healthcare. Nor basic entertainment. Nor safety. Not even by the standards of the area, which were high. And it wasn’t at risk - it was a stable and reliable thing.

Poor people do lack these things. It’s part of the definition. I know, I’ve been there.

And I wasn’t very poor (but poor - issues with clothing, food, healthcare, housing sometimes), but I had friends who were very poor. Some didn’t end up growing up because of it. Some ended up growing up in a way they’re still in jail.

You were just in a very well protected bubble, which is awesome. But almost no one else is.

If you go to any society that isn’t in that kind of bubble (China, India, most of the US, Eastern Europe, Russia, 95% of Africa and South America), the difference is obvious. You were in a place that that ‘cliff’ just didn’t exist. Society pulled out all the stops and filled it in with cement.

Which is awesome for you!

Some of us grew up staring over that Cliff every day though, and that is where this discussion is coming from. Most people (even/especially rich people) in those societies are acutely aware of its existence, even if they work hard to stay very far away from it.

There is a line where needs aren’t possible to get met. Where it’s a hard, sometimes fast downward spiral to actual death, imprisonment, etc.

Where it’s a constant desperate scramble to have the basics necessary to survive, and often some of them just aren’t there sometimes, but they show up somehow just enough you somehow make it through. But man does it suck.

And that’s not even talking about actual poverty. Or what happens when a primary caregiver gets cancer. Or ODs.
https://scienceofsharp.com/ is a great contemporary source for how to sharpen stuff, and what that actually means under a microscope.
Sounds good. In that case, I just made a 100% accurate model by always predicting that every location on Earth is experiencing an earthquake all the time.
Experts don't make predictions like this.
Lots more discussion about this just a few weeks ago:

Then why did Youtube/Google start hosting videos for free? And continue to do so for so long, if it was "unsustainable" ? That was the deal they offered, and that people bought into. Now that they've achieved the soft lock in of network effects, we should accept them completely altering those terms? In the antitrust sense, this is called dumping.
Stated purpose of law: prohibits advocating genocide.

Actual effect of law: prohibits preserving evidence of genocide.

Are you certain that climate activists are the ones correctly accounting for the costs and benefits of their proposals?
Useful regulation, if such a thing exists, does not take the form of arbitrary censorship of publishing.

The fact that anything a government points a finger at and says “terrorism” is literally illegal to disseminate should terrify everyone.
Yep. IIRC the ubiquitous 8051 originally took 10-20 clocks just to execute a NOP, and everything else was even slower. For example.
actual paper? https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/article-abstract/d...

the abstract:

> The proposed algorithm is trained using the available data from 2016 to 2020 and evaluated using real‐time data during 2021. As a result, the testing accuracy reaches 70%, whereas the precision, recall, and F1‐score are 63.63%, 93.33%, and 75.66%, respectively.
Personally, my biggest issue with YouTube ads are how many of them are for transphobic propaganda. Paying for premium would just be rewarding them for profiting from hate speech.
> they're at the forefront of good things for citizen.

Ah right, good things for citizens by wanting to 'ban' encryption. Because 'think of the children,' or some such. Most world governments aren't your friends, as much as you'd want them to be. EU *DOES* do stuff that's bad for their citizens. Just because they did x or y you agree with doesn't magically make them protector of mankind.

The big draw of Twitch is live content and interacting with chat, they just serve you an ad and not serve the stream content during that time. How could you skip it?

Youtube can make it so that it stops serving content for 30 seconds and disable buffering when it's showing a 30s unskippable ad. People without ad block would watch the ad for 30 seconds so no difference for them, people with ad blockers have to wait for 30 seconds. The only way would be to predownload like a DVR and then skip the ads or blank space, which would get annoying fast.

Some people were using proxies and VPNs in some foreign countries that don't have Twitch ads served to bypass, but that's also been blocked now.
It's not even that I'm traveling often (as in hotel stay or something equivalent), it's that I'm often out of the house for a bit. Gaps of time where it doesn't make sense to go all the way home to play a game, but enough time to get like a half hour or more of gaming in.

Kids want to go bounce around at the trampoline park? Cool, I'll hop on the wifi there and game. Had to go into the office and am taking a lunch break? Cool, I can hop on the game for an hour. Meeting up with people later but have an hour downtime? Cool, I can go to any cafe or bar and play for a bit instead of heading all the way home.

Just today I was far on the other side of town (over an hour away) as my wife was meeting up with her sister to do some stuff after some big family things. Cool, bring my cheap laptop with me or just use my phone with a controller, I can game for a couple of hours while she does her thing. But then now tonight that exact same game saves are synced to play on my desktop at the house, or on my cheap laptop while on the patio, or wherever. Maybe I'll even spend an hour in the hot tub tonight with the cheap laptop on a towel nearby. Good luck getting that flexible of an experience with a full console or desktop.

And then this even continues to something like the Steam Deck or the other streaming focused handhelds, which I'm now pretty interested in. It doesn't need to have high end gear on it if it's got a decent network connection. And as I've mentioned here, at least where I'm at I'm almost always with some kind of low latency network. It's so ubiquitous around me these days.
If that is so, YouTube should incentivize creators to promote YouTube premium instead of them having to advertise for dubious VPN services.
The article is so information-lite that a possibility I wouldn't rule out was that of 20 earthquakes in the trial, it made predictions for 14 earthquakes that were close enough to count as a success criterion, it made predictions for 5 earthquakes that were substantially off in location and/or magnitude but not entirely misses, 1 earthquake that it missed entirely, and 8 more earthquakes that it predicted that didn't occur.
Paramount+ on apple tv just crashes immediately for me (before even the profile picker) when I have the apple tv using my pi-hole as its dns server.

Even if you're right I'll be dead before I see them even 20% gone.
Which list?
My guess:

There were 20 real earthquakes and the AI issued 14 warnings. 20*70/100 = 14.

Of course the problem with that is that it’s always a balance between precision and recall (or specificity vs sensitivity).

Here they show 70% recall which sounds good, but the precision is 14/(14+8)=64% which is decidedly less impressive.

Those terms are defined in Wikipedia here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall
What you’re missing is that you don’t need someone “good” to do your bog standard enterprise framework dev. You just need someone “good enough”.

And since many if not most people in the higher income tax brackets own their homes with fix rate mortgages and they aren’t spending every penny they make, they aren’t really seeing the full affects of inflation.
