I'm not sure I understand the analogy.

In the analogy to shoes, there are two types of shoes: a high-end loafer and an elite-brand tennis shoe.

How does this translate to real estate? High end real estate and ... not high end? I don't understand how there are only two types of real estate. Condos, co-ops, single family detached, multi family, townhouse, cottage, bungalo, mobile home, Victorian, ranch style ...? It also states there are only a few suppliers, but it seems like there are a lot of home builders. I don't think its as centralized as a lot of other things like electronics suppliers for instance.

The article then goes on to state that zoning artificially dampens supply and subsidies distort the market, and that's true. We should lift onerous zoning requirements and end subsidies. But zoning is a local issue and in reality people want to have some control over the neighborhood they live in. I am probably more anti-zoning than most people, but I would have limits as well. No zoning is great until your neighbor decides to convert his lot into a trailer park. So such a blanket statement is a non-starter in many places. There is definitely that can be done on subsidies and onerous regulations that most people don't like (e.g. parking requirements, contradictory accessibility rules, permits for simple things). And then zoning should be done gradually with the obvious low hanging fruit (e.g. an empty lot is technically a historic site).
I did not know you could do that. I think I show how lazy/non-power-user-ish some people can be. On my iphone I rely on "Frequently Visited" web links because I just don't seem to like "Favorites". I don't know why. I don't use bookmarks on my web browser either. So now I moved some web pages onto my homescreen, inside a folder. (It took a long time to figure out how to make a folder.) I will do this with other web pages too. I don't like installing apps unless it is something I wil really use. I stil have far too many. I should probably delete/move to folders several of those.

(And for what it is worth, the (email) inbox on my iphone shows 129,523 message unread)

I dont think you understand what free speech is.
I believe Firefox is a decent browser in spite of the CEO of the organisation.

It's 100% rational to hold the positions that the CEO has performed poorly and doesn't deserve anything like the salary they are paid (and should probably be removed), at the same time as believing that the people working on Firefox have managed to do a quite good job in spite of the terrible leadership.
I'll suggest that a) a lot of that content is bot generated (uncontroversial), and b) perhaps those behind the bots are seeing a greater "return" on their investment targeting LinkedIn users rather than say FB/X/TT/IG/YT users.

If b) is true, perhaps this means that LinkedIn users are more "valuable" as targets to influence because they are typically white-collar workers, a significant subset of which will have some influence within their workplace?
That was my first thought too. My next thoughts were:

- it protects the platform, to some extent, by reducing the number of unwanted screenshots

- it sets a social norm that taking screenshots is unwanted and makes the screenshot taker look extra creepy if they share the image with anyone

- if a platform provides screenshot blocking, and users (who have all seen pictures of one screen taken from another device) value that protection and make decisions about what to post based on it, the company should think long and hard before deploying a version that breaks that assumption
Choppers don't need to land. Most of the time a rescue chopper would rather not. Winching you up to them is easier/safer than trying to land at an unprepared location. Even without a winch, they would "long line" you to the nearest road where there is room to land.

I agree. FF is a distant third. But it’s the only credible third I know of. Brave, Edge, and friends are just Chromium so they’re the same rendering engine as Chrome.

On the Safari topic I was going by the general sentiment I see on HN. The general public couldn’t care less what is or is not open source.

Over the years I’ve noticed a weird (to me) contingent here on HN who appeared to think the best thing for the Internet would be for Safari to be killed so everyone would be forced to use Chrome.
The hate for Mozilla on HN has very little to do with diversity and almost everything to do with people who want Firefox to keep Chrome at bay and are frustrated at Mozilla's paying attention to everything but Firefox.

Mozilla feels the need to jump on every new tech fad instead of focusing their efforts on making a really great, sustainable browser, which is what I personally wish was their core mission.
Try asking someone who doesn't know tech to do it on their iphone. Then ask someone who doesn't know tech to do it on their android phone.
I’m doing great. Decent raise this year, good product, sales are up, and the company gave us extra holidays.

And then there's other comments here that mocks people who think law as code hence you can cheat/glitch through it. They say law in the end is run by humans and there's something called "intent" that will still catch you. Tbf I lean more to law as code side myself and this intent thing sounds like arbitrary enforcement.
Svelte is my go to on the web as well.

For smaller apps (dozen input fields or so) the WinForms designer (which has been on life support for well over a decade now!) will get the job done better than anything else out there.

If you want GPU rendered, WPF has you covered. I strongly dislike XAML, even though I like JSX (while disliking data handling in react in general).

The thing about responsiveness is I can make 6 UIs in WinForms faster than I can fix cross platform CSS bugs.

The real issue is WinForms isn't cross platform. :(

I think jokes can act as anti-shibboleth. There are some jokes that are so obvious and overused that it stops being funny to insiders and they moved on. I am thinking of something like "Uranus" -> "your anus". I may be wrong with my example but I suppose astronomers like toilet humor as much as anyone else, but at some point, they need to do their thing without getting constantly distracted by that planet name, so they just stop joking about it.

It is not always obvious which jokes are off limits. Because they may not be bad or offensive, it is just that they interfere with day to day activity, and outsider may not know what are these day to day activities and how disruptive it is.
> I have zero confidence that today we'd have public education, social security, or freedom from religion.

> You simply don't like that most people are content with the system we have.

I think perhaps these statements are contradictory, and I think it’s because the second statement is false.

I don’t think people in the US are generally content with the status quo whatsoever, but I do think that it is both actually hopeless and also perceived widely as hopeless that we have any chance of effecting meaningful change to it.

This is by design, so that those who do benefit from the status quo can make claims about representation similar to yours above, when no such representation exists. It’s a sort of “shut up and go away” to keep the existing socioeconomic order in place.

If we were actually represented in the way you posit, there would be candidates whose platform would primarily be the repeal of old laws that are invalid, unnecessary, or harmful. We see no such candidates, and we see no such trends.
Right. Edge used to have its own rendering engine, but they ditched it. At this point it’s the same as Brave and some other browsers.

From a rendering point of view, it’s 100% Chromium. All of its customizations are above the engine, at least as far as I know.

I mean, it's still stupid. It just works.
Yet somehow most native apps people use are either: a web browser, something built with a web browser.
What usually happens here is the board of a company say to themselves "Let's hire a professional CEO", the next answer then is how, you don't see these jobs advertised on LinkedIn, so they get a talent recruitment agency. For C level management positions there are usually 2 options that control the most of the market, these 2 options have rosters of people from well known business schools with experience ready to step in.

Because the supply is constrained by these companies the CEO pay increases well beyond market rates, as each CEO will earn X% more than the one before it by faking competitiveness, then the former CEOs will complain (as the Mozilla CEO did here) about relative market rates of other CEOs, even though the market rates are set by the cartel that proposed them in the first place.

The board not wanting to rock the boat for the shareholders will generally agree to this extortion for optics, and round and round the merry go round goes.
Auto formatting for work is an angel, for code you love it is the devil.

Writing code that you love is like crafting it. You align subjects and data in beautiful flows of if/else or case/switch. You put multiple statements on a line if they encompass one "thought"

Try writing without a formatter when you are the sole author.

As for syntax highlighting I agree. You can get 80% of the way there with a vim regex of keywords, but it's one of the main things I'm solving by writing my own editor.

My name is Josh and I have seven years of experience in DevOps. I recently took some time to see if I could apply my skills to help less technically capable industries leverage automation and improve and protect their existing systems. That did not pan out as well as I had hoped and I am looking to get back into DevOps work.

My first stint in DevOps was improving the build and test process for a C/C++/Embedded company on a Jenkins/In-house platform. At my second job, I worked on a Python/JavaScript codebase built and hosted on a combination of GitLab/Phabricator all deployed in AWS. I was responsible for both the build systems and toolchains at both companies.

I love learning and I love teaching. Some of the things I missed the most when going off on my own were the mentorship and communal learning opportunities I had previously. I have a good mind for architecture and am quick to pick up new skills and technologies.

If you're looking for someone to lead your DevOps team, or expand its existing capabilities, I have the experience and tenacity to get the job done.

> the obvious copyright infringement OpenAI is doing.

I don't see how it is obvious, nor how it is infringement.

How come this doesn't apply to the person who memorized the NYT article, and recited it verbatim?

It's obviously infringement for the person who pressed the "generate" button to produce the article. That's no different from someone who copied a picture using photoshop. However, photoshop itself (and the making of it) does not constitute any infringement whatsoever, as long as at the time of making the application, the sources used are not infringing (which, i presume openAI had the right to view the articles at the time of training).

The crux, to me, is that the information extracted and produced (aka, the neural weights) do not itself constitute any infringement. Using those weights to generate copyrighted stuff is an infringement, but only for the person _doing_ the generation, not on the authors of the weights.
> And you don't see how this would be abused by nefarious web sites ?

How is this different from being inundated with requests (really, more of a demand or an absolute requirement) to install the app to view this content?
Here's an idea: provide a donations bucket that gives a guarantee that they'll be earmarked exclusively for Firefox development. Nothing off the top for CEO salaries, nothing siphoned off for random side projects—this bucket should be guaranteed to pay the salaries of Firefox developers.

It might not make millions, but I'd donate in a heartbeat if I knew that my money would actually go to Firefox and not to one of the dozens of random side quests that Mozilla keeps picking up.
I think poster is trying to stay that too many styling options has made for worse UX.

Users can get used to ugly and consistent. On the web and mobile, there is minimal consistency of what a button even looks like, or where site options are to be found, every site looks different and every company has its own style guide.
It's always an interesting feeling to look at the pictures, think to myself that this level of mechanical precision could easily be achieved today, then realise it would've been made between 160-230 years ago.
> PKZIP. Was pretty much required.

Do you recall what the benefit of registering pkzip was? i used it a lot but never bought it (and don't recall using a cracked copy).
Interesting. I probably could have been a lot safer than anticipated.
Airbus tried to get the FAA to relax the requirement that every possible seat offered for sale be able to leave in 90 seconds - ie, just 600 instead of the fully rated 800. Then they asked to relax it to 120 seconds. Finally, they told the FAA that their models should be sufficient. The FAA (and eventually the European equivalent agencies) said no to these asks and made them do the full test with 800 people leaving the plane in 90 seconds. They did so in ~85 seconds, IIRC.

Their last concern is that far more people get injured in tests than in reality, which was a fair point - but there were questions about the particular configuration that Airbus proposed.

Also, Airbus never sold the A380 to any major US carrier, and no carrier was ever able to fill that many seats on the A380 sustainably. So maybe Airbus was right, but for the same reasons that eventually doomed the project.

LOL, shout out to SEN - I used his tool, Hiew back in 1994 for the first time. Good times.

P.S. I still use it from time to time - it has a nice built-in assembler for x86/x86-x64.
It's methodology sniping. Find some detail in the paper that looks wrong to laymen, then dismiss the whole study as trash.
> Commercially-built, American tract homes are built for lowest labor and lowest material costs.

This seems location and builder specific, and not at all generalizable based on a single anecdote.

> In America, it is rare for homes to be ever torn down unless they're extremely damaged by termites, very old and not up to modern codes and not considered a historical site, or a 1-wall demo "remodel" cannot be accomplished.

This, too, seems location-specific. In Denver, older houses are being torn down constantly to put up new builds. I’m not clear why you’d think it’s universally true.
I suspect that was intentional. Lovecraft and many of his peers were anti-Semitic, and crafting names for cosmic horrors that vaguely sounded like Hebrew would mesh with that.
What would you do if you were her?
I'd deprecate firefox.
I am curious what do you mean by Launcher here. Firefox Allows installing app to your android laucher home screen and you can add any website as a shortcut to the homescreen.
I've read some tech debates in this thread that are above my pay grade, but I largely agree with the title. Case in point, the same discussions in this thread that are above my pay grade drove the building of our startup as a browser-based PWA, instead of two native apps.

Certainly native apps would have been better as a 'perfect solution', and we're still looking at building them in the future, but for delivering a working MVP it didn't make sense to even attempt. I suspect this will apply to many/most app startups going forward, and that means between native apps and PWAs, the browser is the marketplace of first-to-market products.
I am perfectly capable of being distracted and inattentive without a phone.

I don't think there's any good way to ensure people are paying attention to the whole long landing and take-off sequence when it's basically always boring.
I as well am waiting for the next Y Combinator startup for using A.I. to automate whether or not you should apply for a job. Should we start on a Series-A pitch deck?
Hmm, me in particular I'd be extremely pissed (and am) to even know that such a person exists.

I'm not the absolute moral authority but I believe a great deal of what's keeping us back from being absolutely great as "humanity" has to do with those parasites and their negative influence.
Yeah, there's no way Apple has any incentive at all to make it easy to install even the (very neutered) PWA experience. Interestingly, it's a lot easier on Android than on iPhone, but Google has always been more open about outside apps and app stores.
Fair enough.
Would be a hard sell to spend 1/4 of my time away from family though.

A lieutenant is not the captain.

As a lieutenant, I don't get to just go do whatever. I advise, I provide options, I make calls that don't to up to the CEO level.

I pick tech stacks, I pick how to do the things we decide to do. But the final call on what we are doing is the captain's. Especially about the fundamental direction like how to acquire users, markets we target, and how to acquire revenue.
Is there x86-x64 assembler? If so, I would have put that on the front page...

But Firefox can control the ad stream very well with ublock origin. Don't need bat tokens for that.

The advertising industry will never take that as an option anyway. They're addicted to big data now. They have to sell a hell of a lot of less-annoying non-data-mined BAT ads to compensate, or do with less profit. They're not going to be on board.

And these tokens don't really solve the issue. People hate ads. Trading their ads for slightly less annoying ones when they can do without them altogether is not going to work. How many of those 65M brave users actually opt in to the BAT ads?

It's just a non-starter and will always be that. Sorry. It's just another fairytale spun to dig into VC money pools.
A good CEO can earn you way more than they cost.

Why do Realtors earn 2.5% of a house they sell? Because sellers are nervous it'll cost them more not to pay.
Aren't the people that keep paying her Google?
That was because Apple had gone out of its way to keep all of the best native functionality available only to native apps. Facebook is not a complicated front-end application (or it wasn't back then), so it should have been possible, but you couldn't even upload photos until iOS 6. It's amazing and audacious that Zuck even attempted it at all, in hindsight.
It seems like most of the Christian books on SE are Roman Catholic in orientation (Belloc, Chesterton, etc.) Pilgrim's Progress is a Protestant work, but it would be good to see a better representation of both pre-Reformation and Protestant titles.
Guys. Mozilla set out to make the web standards compliant. Firefox was the tool they used. They won. It's done. The web is universally standards compliant.

Massive success to the org. Right after the rebranding from Phoenix, things took off. Super BD effort to get standardization going. Huge community management effort to get all sorts of random people installing Firefox everywhere.

This is the biggest success story ever. And this is why everyone has to always be growing. It's not enough to do what you set out to do. You have to always grow. If you're a for-profit corp this is your partners or shareholders who care. If you're a non-profit it's the general public.

But whoever that person is, the moment you stop growing you're in trouble. Oh they'll say "unchecked growth is cancer" and so on but what they want is to say that while nonetheless you grow.

Growth is survival. Even reaching your objective (as a non-profit) is death.
