On Firefox for Android all extensions must be present in the AMO store at the time of installation, no sideloading - even of signed addons.

Mozilla banned non-store extensions in their last Firefox for Android overhaul a few years ago and afaik does not plan to allow them again.

This is the reason why the anti-paywall extensions are all gone/DMCAed.

It's a massive power shift away from the user. No idea why Mozilla did that.

No, I mean in general, that's the hard problem. The main goal is that the user wants to do something, but there's an instrumental goal that the system has to be resilient to typical real world problems, otherwise the users will have a bad time.

For example the user wants to interact with the service, order something, check for new messages or send one.

On the happy path things are trivial, easy, synchronous, even quite resilient. There's not much complexity to manage on "no new message" or "add to cart, yes, buy with saved card, ship to saved address, k thx bye", if the browser or server crashes, or there's a network error, the interaction is short, easy to retry, problems are not hidden (quasi instant feedback)

But as the total interaction time increases, as the state the user would need to reproduce grows (adding new card, shipping/billing address, adding a lot of stuff into the card, writing a long message) the need for partial state sync arises.

Thank you Alexander for opening this thread here, it's a great initiative.

Recently (like a month ago) I got involved in helping old people that are in villages around my town. We are a group of ~10 friends, which have relatives in those villages and as such we found out that there are old people, 70+, whom have low income pension and live alone. Their neighbors provide some help with physical activities around their house but that's all, since all are poor as well. Their pension provides them with minimal food to survive, but nothing more, basically they just wait to die.

We started to get money to help them with their medication, mainly arthritis and rheumatism, therefore our goal is to raise ~4k USD. Between us we raised ~1.5k USD, which covers the more stringent needs of their medications and that's all. The people we help are scattered around villages around Timisoara, Romania (my town) and with upcoming holidays season we feel that we'll have way less time to dedicate to this task.

Any help is appreciated. I never done anything like this before, I have 0 experience on raising money or setting up web portal, bank account or as such. I did made a mail address at helpvillagers@protonmail.com, so feel free to help me with advice, or questions there.

Thank you in advance.

Doesn't this just ignore the fact you can install the updates outwith of the Chrome store?

I assume they are betting on most users not side loading them.

All this seems like a complete waste of time, if you want to "war on ad blockers" the why not just ban them from the store?

Why have a "war" at all?
The NSA does not reveal what technology it uses or how they use it. Snowden had to leak that information, for it to come to light.

The public has no way of knowing if the NSA follows the law and the theoretically available technology for the NSA to use, means it's extremely unlikely they have restrained themselves from gazing into your private life at home.

Github open source projects are not at all an indicator of "popularity". There are vast amount RN apps on the appstores and closed source.

As someone who has tried most of the options for streaming realtime mobile app, I landed on RN/EXPO for the sole reason of community size and ease of use. Basically everything is possible!

Typical recommendation has been to build MVPs in RN and then switch to native after your raise funds, but strongly advise against it unless the nature of your app demands native implementation. You can stick with RN all the way to FB/Instagram scale!

Higher tariffs leads to less overall supply in the domestic market which leads to higher prices for consumers. Higher prices for consumers leads to grumpy consumers at the people who supported the tariff in the first place.

Moreover, longer term tariffs leads to domestic suppliers not being as efficient and hence fall behind international competition. Thus, domestic consumers get garbage cars and become grumpy at the people who supported the tariff in the first place.

Well a Moto GP bike will easily beat an F1 car in 1/4 mile drag race yet would have zero chances on an actual race track. I'd bet the Cybertruck would do relatively considerably worse even against the base config 911. So it really depends on how you define "absurdly fast".

I, on the other hand, find it baffling that some programmers, despite the fact that programmers generally make computers useful for other people, don't care how computers can be more useful for them.

Thank you VERY MUCH for your comment; I had NO IDEA FFP3 masks are so much better than N95 — and I am a (retired) anesthesiologist who knows a thing or three about masks.

Agree. Another example of desensitization is the popularity (now diminishing) of Marvel movies. Relative to their visual presentation, they are empty of content. Gauging the depth of meaning in a Marvel movie takes almost no effort. I suppose their recent drop in popularity might indicate that the broader culture is finally catching on to this.

Other videos say that the bubble is just to protect the screen because (unsurprisingly, I would) people try to touch it - so it's not evacuated; doesn't that mean it's going to be a fairly loud 30hz speaker, effectively?

I get what you are trying to say, but that statement alone is too blunt to be accurate. Desertification, extended drought and record high temperatures do directly relate to causing fires.
> I’ve tried to remove from pom.xml dependencies which are listed there but not used in the source code and it was surprisingly hard to do.

You probably already know this, but since Java has dynamic loading of code, even if the dependency is not used in the source code, it does not mean the dependency will not be used when running the code. Either through direct use of reflection ("Class.forName()"), or a drop-in file used through ServiceLoader, or even a magic resource file which makes the code go through a different path when present. Carelessly removing a dependency might make your application break, possibly only when the specific functionality which dynamically needs the removed dependency is called. So yeah, you kind of have to be an expert on all the frameworks your application uses before you can start trying to remove unused dependencies in Java, and a tool cannot help you much.
In the 1980’s they demanded and got import quotas on Japanese automobiles which were outcompeting Detroit.

Supply constraints allowed US automakers to better compete on price without improving their product design, quality, or cost structure, so much of the same effect as a tariff.

No one's arguing that the people using generative AI are enthralled with the methods, and I expect that people that make spin art are equally enthralled with the process and also amazed at the images they create, but I wouldn't call either art.
> My dad is from a village in Bangladesh, and I myself vividly remember rolling blackouts on hot summer nights living in the capital city, so yeah, I know those things.

Oh really? I was born and raised there, so please tell me more. Also, did you know that the blackouts are back? Was there during this ramadan, and power is in shortage ever since the Ukraine war. Probably your daddy didn't tell you the whole story?

> My dad went back to his village this year and was shocked to see how much it has changed, thanks to the World Bank-led GDP growth that’s happened in the last 20 years. The best foreigners are the ones that invested in those H&M factories.

I am sure H&M would like you to believe that, LOL. One of the largest driver of Bangladeshi GDP is remittance, which comes from people dying while bringing luxury to the oil-rich like the Fifa world cup [1]. But yeah, US ultracapitalists paying cents on the dollar to the garments workers [2], most of which are then again stolen by the local polticians is what's causing the "development", sure.

If you would genuinely like to know more, find a Bangladeshi person living in Bangladesh instead of reading Marc Anderssen's memo and posting everywhere pretending to be Bangladeshi because you visited Bangladesh once 20 years ago. If you can't do that, then please, for the sake of the millions of people currently in Bangladesh, stop spreading propaganda and misinformation online about Bangladesh. Thank you.

Big Basin is recovering, but it is a long way from recovery. If there aren't any fires as severe as the CZU fire for many years it will recover. But if intense fires become more frequent, that's far less clear. The regrowth you see in Big Basin, as described in the article, appears to have been fueled by sugar reserves in the old growth trees. Can they sustain that if they get hit again and again?

We have "just cycles" if the climate, on average, is fairly steady. But if there's a hotter/dryer trend, the areas that can sustain redwoods will drift north, and this might be difficult for very long-lived trees to keep up with.

Serious question: why is NATO even needed? Shouldn't it have been dissolved after the collapse of USSR?

The war is Russia's fault, but it's also in reaction to the attempt to expand, again, a treaty that was specifically put in place to fight them.

Either NATOs goal still is to fight Russia and in that case it make sense for them to feel threaten, or it isn't and then I'm not sure what purpose it serves.
I wonder if anyone has built multi-speed “layered” swept volumetric displays. For the center part, you would still just have one screen, but as you go further out, you’d have “spokes”, so that each screen only has to sweep a small angle (and roughly constant distance) during a frame, so that it rotates at lower RPM, and has to update fewer times.

You would still need a bare minimum of 1-2 kHz, and a lot of screens, and balancing every layer would be super difficult, but I don’t think anything about it is fundamentally impossible with current technology.
Sorry, you're right. I didn't look at the axis and reflexively assumed it was a time series of the appropriate era.

I love getting approached by friends and family and having to do my best to gently let them down on their “million dollar ideas” they “need my help building”.

It’s not that they are all bad ideas. I just stopped putting any value at all in “ideas” a while ago. Ideas are a dime a dozen, even trillion dollar ideas. (Here’s an idea, lets invent teleportation, it took me ~3 seconds to come up with a trillion dollar idea!)

I think there are three things that matter so much more than the idea. Team, execution, and traction.

You need the right team, and putting together the right team is the most difficult thing to do, because a good startup team needs to be able to cover the largest amount of surface area in terms of “stuff we can do ourselves”. There’s a lot of different “departments” in a company, and at the early stage it’s the founders covering all of them. If you want me to play Frontend Dev, DBA, Product Manager, Architect, Backend Dev, Tech support, and Tech recruiter I’m ok with that so long as you can play Accountant, Fundraiser, Spokesperson, Secretary, Lawyer, and customer support.

You also need execution. I won’t say the execution has to be great across the board, but ideally it’ll be great in a few core areas key to your idea (I.e. your special sauce), while being “good enough” across all the “departments” you juggle to convince people you know what your doing. This is where I think lots of people fail. People have this false notion that they can do the things they are most comfortable/good at and somebody else will soon come along to handle the other stuff. (Well we can just hire somebody for that they say — with what money I ask?) Execution means understanding that no job is below you because at the end of the day it is solely on you if it gets done or not and oftentimes there is nobody else to do it. The monthly update emails don’t get sent unless you send em. The employees don’t get paid unless you pay em. (They tend to get bitchy about that if you forget to do it on time too.) The product doesn’t get built unless you build it, and the customers don’t get acquired unless you acquire them.

That brings me to the last thing, which is traction. If I had a dollar for every-time someone has tried to get me to go in on building their “New take on social media, it’ll be the next big thing!” I’d probably be able to self-fund my next venture by now. If you have “the best thing ever” but nobody’s using it, it isn’t “the best thing ever”. It’s kind of like Schrödinger's cat. Your product is both the best thing ever, and a piece of garbage until somebody opens the box and uses it, upon which you find out which it is. You don’t need traction at first but eventually you need traction or your venture will become a exercise in masochism as you slowly slide towards bankruptcy trying to get enough traction to save you the company from entering a death spiral.
I’ve built a a couple apps in React Native over the past few years.

My reasoning for wanting to use React Native is primarily because I think the iOS ecosystem is a real mess right now. SwiftUI is not mature, and UIKit is antiquated compared to the needs of today. If you’re just starting out, the force multiplier you get from RN is almost too difficult to ignore.

1) Even in the last couple years, React Native has gotten much better. The performance gap is not noticeable anymore. In fact, in some cases I think it has been easier get better performance in RN than using native.

2) It does feel like there was a wave where tons of libraries were created and then abandoned. But overall there are lots of libraries which are good and well maintained.

3) Native is still better if you need really tight experiences, but this gap is also closing. Since you can easily drop down to native, this issue shouldn’t be a big deal.
