Ask HN: Personal Remote Browser Isolation Suggestions?
TLDR: Looking for remote chrome browser access connect to a high speed internet and long session times.

Wondering if there are any Remote Browser Isolation services offered for personal use. Cloudflare seems to be for organizations, cant get personal access. Kasmweb provides it, but I am looking for remote browser (with high internet speed) with long sessions probably months or until I explicitly delete the session.
Our 50 year old CA house is typical---wood framed with a vented crawl space, so no slab and minimal link to the ground mass. It has only 1970s fiberglass insulation in the 2x4 framed walls and ceiling, with none beneath the floors. It also has 1970s single pane glass and many southwest-facing windows. We make effective use of the house's thermal inertia in both summer and winter. We lack central air-conditioning and have an inefficient 1970s gas furnace.

I can definitely feel the radiant temperature of the house and its content around me. This is linked to the thermal mass and contributes to comfort along with actual air temperature. Our biggest improvements have been modern roofing and DIY heat-rejecting window films. Both seem to reduce the radiant connection between the outdoors and interior, helping in both summer and winter.

In summer, nighttime ventilation and daytime closure means our indoor temperature can start low and lag behind the outdoor heat by many hours. At some point in the evening, the falling outdoor temperature meets that indoor and we start ventilating again. During multi-day heat waves, we will see that the house retains heat, increasing both morning lows and evening highs. But, it still lags behind the outdoors and smooths out the peak.

In winter, we heat to a more comfortable target for a few hours in early morning and after dusk. We let it coast with a lower baseline target otherwise. During clear days, we get enough solar gain to either hold it steady or even warm the house above our desired set point. Then, the evening heat cycle either holds or brings it back up as the light fades and the walls start to feel a lack of radiant warmth. By the time the house is feeling chilled, we're snug in our bedding and it coasts lower until the next dawn cycle.
You could hire 35 developers at $200K and that would still be more than the median compensation for a developer in the US

I use amazon video a bit, not nearly as much as netflix, and the cheaper/faster shipping. But the minute I get an ad I'm cancelling.
If you haven't paying attention, the number of autocratic countries has been rising, with many (Solomon Islands, Mali, Chad, Togo, Sudan, Niger, etc.) receiving military help from China and Russia (aka Wagner troops, social media troll farms) to stage coups and take over.
My employer certainly pays for it. It's bundled with O365, but they pay for O365 and so they also pay for Teams.

Firefox, too.
I worked on IPFS Cluster and people like my co-authors had been experimenting with this already, but didn't have a name nor was formalized. I needed a way to sync state and decided to write it down "properly" as a paper along the way.

I think it's very valuable to bring people into the topic which is very cool (that's why I added a very long intro to try to provide all the background).
Personally regardless of any other stance I will always vote along the abortion lines. I would hope others would be able to prioritize that as well. I dont want to see the US turn into a theocratic dictatorship.
Progressive Web Apps have been around for nearly a decade.

Every year there is some excuse (usually missing API X) why they aren't a success.
You say "browser engine" Apple says "surveillance engine".

Only one of these definitions just cost Google $5 billion settlement for tracking Chrome incognito mode users.
Normans were definitely French speaking, though their cultural pecularities made them a specific unit. For example, they were considered very warlike, and even Norman clergy was inclined to carry weapons and engage in combat, which wasn't typical elsewhere.

If we consider 911 to be the year when Normandy was founded, it took just two centuries for Norman power to expand from Normandy to England, South Italy and Palestine, which is quite a remarkable feat. In contrast, power of the Capetian kings remained limited to the region around Paris. Which is a testament to the aforementioned warlikeness of the Normans.
The term was originally about stocks of similar profile, not which employers one should aspire to have. Jim Cramer coined it, and modified it a couple times (eventually adding Microsoft).
“Long term” in industry parlance means “greater than 8 hours”
By "significantly heavier" it is often a difference of a few hundred pounds on a few thousand pound vehicle. A 2L engine is about 400lbs, an automatic transmission is another 220lbs, 20 gallons of gas is 120 lbs, add another 100ish pounds for a much larger cooling system. So sure, the battery is like 1,000lbs but you traded 840 pounds for 200 pounds of EV motors (assuming two of them!) so in reality you're up like 360lbs.

Combined with regenerative braking, it doesn't make that big of difference in total energy usage. A massive chunk of the energy used in an EV is aero drag which makes little difference about weight. Weight makes a bigger impact with stop and go traffic on non-regen cars as slowing down that extra mass turns more energy into heat. An object in motion wants to stay in motion and all, once you're up to speed you're using about the same energy. This is why a lot of the EV trucks have close to the same range if the bed is full or not assuming it has the cover on the bed, but towing even a small trailer becomes a massive range hit.

I get on average 3.5mi/kWh in my EV, ~1MJ/mi. A gallon of gas is like 120 MJ, an average hybrid will get like 40mpg, so 3 MJ/mi being burned. You'd need to get like 120mpg to match my average efficiency of energy usage, and my EV isn't even that incredibly efficient of an EV.

Is it malicious compliance? How else were they supposed to comply?
That's by design. Large org needs consistent throughput. Think of it like you engineer system. When small, you have pets: each computer is important. Then you scale so you maybe get rid of special computer. All computer is cattle. You want consistent performance, willing to accept lower performance for consistency. Advantage is you can build bigger building blocks. No need for 9654X with 1 GB of cache. Everything is now VM. Mechanically unsympathetic, but you swap each piece in logical space, individual device does not matter.

You go bigger. Business units now. Deliver consistent performance. All units is not Skunkwork. Just machine. Big unit. Transistor in company CPU. Eventually company as well is just transistor in nation CPU. Nation just transistor in Earth CPU.
I do Xbox Cloud Gaming in a PWA on iPad with my Xbox controller.

What does your app do that's so special it needs more than a console game?
Off the back of this I've just dug the very same camcorder out of a box in the loft and indeed it now has a number of electrical and mechanical issues. Looks like I left a blank tape it it which is now shredded. The built in screen works one time out of three power ups. I have no computer available with any FireWire port.
I think the impression you get depends on whether you belong to cost or profit centre of the org, and techies tend to be part of the former.
That'd be a fine the EU would be happy to receive. After the several decades of wrangling in courts. ;)
40 million for NFL is an exception, not the norm. It was mostly because of the playoffs. Viewership in traditional TV is much lower than sports events. There are only a few non sport programming that come in top 100 when it comes to traditional TV and those are programming the Voice, 60 mins etc. But the numbers for those are around 6-7 million. Even the peak GOT was at 16-20 million, which was all time high for HBO.
This project and landing page succeeded in provoking interest. And when I visited, the "explore" link worked :) guess it was fixed recently.

Would love for this to grow!
You know, I'll pay the 50 cents to run firefox on an iphone. No regrets. My goodness, that would be the best 50 cents you could spend on an iphone app. Holy shit. Better than the hot garbage you assholes peddle (especially in-app gacha hell addict bait - fuck you!)
Tesla’s dojo is deployed already I thought? I don’t recall them ever having plans to make it publicly available.
There was a huge push to custom streaming services. Even on just for star trek, really? It seems like many services are losing money, firing CEOs, and selling content to netflix again.
>“The effect of this would be to force an independent browser like Firefox to build and maintain two separate browser implementations — a burden Apple themselves will not have to bear.”

Apple doesn't have to bear that burden because they use webkit everywhere, the same thing you (Mozilla) could be doing.
Seems like that just needs to link to the same "Explore" link on the homepage, very simple fix.
Unlike the US, the EU cares more about the intention of the law than the letter of the law, from what I understand.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed in Ukraine.

Putin is explicitly aiming to destroy Ukrainian national identity, which is genocide. He has disappeared countless people in the occupied territories… literally, countless, no one knows how many because rights orgs don’t operate there. He’s indicted by the ICC for stealing children from occupied territories to solve the Russian “demographic crisis,” and to remove the future generation of Ukrainians. There’s nothing frivolous about this, ask a Ukrainian. See Putin’s many speeches, including from February 24, to this effect, he doesn’t believe Ukrainians or Ukraine has a right to exist, and believed that Ukrainians can be dispensed with like subhumans.
The $260M investment likely came with the directive of reducing operating costs.
Sorry, first time reporting on Bugzilla. But this is a serious bug that could disturb everyone who uses DRM, including Netflix.
> The ICJ could, however, order a ceasefire that is a freezing of the conflict.

It could, as it did against Russia in Ukraine v. Russia (2022). But note that in Ukraine v. Russia it specifically cited the resolution adopted by the General Assembly under Uniting for Peace addressing the Russia invasion as a violation of the UN Charter as a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of another UN member, that is, it was addressing an operation already declared illegal independent of the issue before the Court.

Ordering a halt to an operation that otherwise might fall within the recognized UN Charter right if individual or collective self-defense is, especially when the allegedly aggressing party is not subject to the order, seems pretty hard to justify as a provisional measure.

(One might also note the absence of an effect of that order in Ukraine v. Russia.)
As there are many people working on the same code base, change should be hard, it's a good thing.

As it takes a lot of time to go through the process of changing things, make sure to invest time in deciding what that change should be (and how to structure it in a way that it's easiest to go through the process) instead of making the change that you would do if you would work on the code base yourself.
Stem is effectively a services company. There’s a lot of room for general-use hardware and software in this space, especially as more battery storage is deployed and financial incentives for energy arbitrage emerge.

Bollocks, do we!
They call it, retiring in place.
That is, the pace is so slow due to process poor work habits, that you essentially have stopped working and retired in place. Just kick back, collect a check, and give up on your engineering career.
Yes, they have to deal with laws of different countries that apply the same to everyone. In this case Apple creates their own rules that do not apply the same to everyone, and are purely for malicious compliance.
At least in my experience, yes, it really is that dull. If you get senior enough it manages to be both very dull and very stressful.

I managed to stick out for about a year after the startup I’d been working for was acquired by a multinational. I’d been an early engineering hire at the startup, and by that point was a technical lead for one of the teams. On being acquired I got promoted to technical lead for the newly formed division, which in practice meant endless meetings about every aspect of what we were doing. I’m talking eight hours a day on Teams calls, and a couple of hours writing things up between them.

One thing I’ll never forget is that an early task I picked up was working out how to tell if someone had opted out of marketing communications. I naively went in thinking it couldn’t be that hard, just look them up in the system that tracked these things. When I left we still didn’t have a decent solution. I’d spent months on calls with everyone up to the Data Protection Officer, and the closest I ever got was something we thought might work. For all I know they’re still trying to work it out 18 months later.

In the end I hated that job so much I took a ~50% pay cut and left a five figure retention bonus on the table to get out. I’m now happily back in a startup writing code every day, solving interesting problems, and laughing whenever someone complains about how much process and documentation there is.
Given these trends, what is the predicted year that we'd expect the last fossil fuel burning power plant to be greenlit for construction in China, India, and the US?

Follow-up: At what point is continued operation of existing coal become uneconomical (to simplify the question assume decent solar generation locations are available/ grid connected nearby).
China is not a signatory of the UNCLOS. See the south china see debacle for an easy answer as to why.
I think Broadcomm designs and builds TPUs for Google. Their stock was up 100% in 2023 and their profit margin was 39.31%.
Like saying "therefore" might mean "I accept the premise".

I basically never hear that as a standalone reply in English!

As an interjection or at the beginning of a sentence, "donc", like "so", can mean "now then", "that said", "moving on" or "without further ado".

I'm not sure, but I think sometimes when my wife is saying, "schma" it's somewhat like "donc" you describe above. But sometimes, I think she expressing agreement with a person that a third party was a bit mistaken or off the mark, so it's expressing a kind of disagreement. Not sure.
Well, perhaps you'll thank the EU for it. I personally hate the cookie banners (that don’t do anything to stop ad tech) and the annoyance of needing new (expensive) cables for no real reason. I had very nice cables which worked great for years, that was fun to explain to the wife. And now the car stereo doesn't work through a wire to my phone any longer.

The last thing I want is another App Store. I enjoy the privacy and security of its payment disintermediation. An App Store from Facebook or Amazon is just going to be 'yet another spying apparatus.' No doubt employers and schools will be demanding their use soon.
Yup, the host goes into that. It covers from the Indo-Europeans up to Shakespeare (where the podcast is at currently). To get an idea of the show's perspective, the host is something of an amateur linguist and historian. So it's the historical and linguistic reasons that English is the way it is.

All time great podcast, IMO.
Yeah, you install via the app store and then log in using netflix credentials.

I'm a big fan of Into the Breach, and their android port is a netflix exclusive. It currently has 2.8 stars on the android store with many users complaining about not having a netflix account.

I have been unable to play it on more that one occasion because I did not have service.
Can they make us adopt the Metric system while they're at it?
Spot on analysis. It's a broken product, most of the time, for me.
> Opening a genocide trial is an implicit condemnation of their behavior

No? The condemnation was by South Africa, in submitting its application. The Court very deliberately did not condemn nor exonerate [1].

> The outrage from the USA at the invasion of Ukraine, when the invasion of Iraq is a crime of the same magnitude.

I was certainly against it in 2003. The WMDs were bullshit. A war on "terror" is farcical. The profiteering and the industrial military complex, etc.

But I did later come around to the idea of getting Saddam and his government to stop genociding the Kurds.

Of course you should always assume a country like the US to be self-serving in its actions, but it's not as if it was taking additional land as its own, as is the case with Russia and Israel. Iraq was never going to be the 51st state.
We really need a no-tether law. If you buy a device, then it should be possible to use it even after cutting all ties with the original vendor, otherwise it is a service, not a product.

If I buy a device from company A, then want to do business with company B, why does company A have anything to say about it? Am I not the owner of my device?
"I reject everything non essential"

The impact to Apple’s bottom line is very different. Maintaining regional SKUs for hardware would be much more expensive for Apple than just acquiescing to the mandate. Software doesn’t have nearly the same issues as physical goods when it comes to splitting feature by region, especially considering the goal will be to keep things more advantageous for apple in as many regions as possible for as long as possible. They can always flip the switch if/when they have to.
I didn't realize that Horizon was used to record "the check the postmaster sent to the post office to reconcile accounts".
Something most people don't think about with large companies:

They aren't monoliths. Your experience could be totally different in a different part of the company. 300k people is going to create a ton of variance.

That said, I've found the larger the company, the more politics matters. And the more politics matters, the less your performance matters, and the more the other things matter.

Personally, if given my way, I might never work for a company over ~50 people, again. (I'm working for a small firm now. And pretty happy overall.)

The ability to walk up to high management and get a fairly straight answer on what is going on, is something you simply can't get in a 300k company.
It depends on the size of the response that you need…
Spotted this one:

"Not here to fuck spiders"

Asked an Ausie mate if it was real, and he confirmed he uses it often, as in:

"Look mate, we're not here to fuck spiders, might as well just crack on."
I have to disagree here! Netflix has released/published/made free with Netflix creds several games that are quite good and which had generally good reputations.

A few standouts:
* Into The Breach (great Android port)
* Moonlighter
* Poinpy
* Dead Cells
* OXENFREE
* World Of Goo

Many of these were already available, but all those on the list were/are indie darlings and pretty good games. For the most part they're putting out good stuff, not just the typical mobile trash.

Full games list here: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/121442
Anyone can go on Google Earth, look at the official UN borders of Israel, then do a search in Hebrew or "synagogue" (obviously not every synagogue is Israeli) or "checkpoint" and very clearly see the Israeli settlements outside Israel's legal borders. Search "Hizma" for a good example [1].

To make it even more obvious, toggle the "street view" layer over one of these areas and see what gets highlighted.

There is a clear apartness between the neatly-planned Israeli settlements, often built on demolished Palestinian villages, and the organic scattering of indigenous, primarily Arab Palestinian villages. With militarized checkpoints in between. Anyone can see it, if they have the will and a web browser.

The rules, as I understand them, mean that if Mozilla wishes, it can use its own engine with the browsers distributed in the EU -- and not that it must.

Why would these rules "force an independent browser like Firefox to build and maintain two separate browser implementations"? Can't they just keep on using the current implementation?
Funny, my misspelling sometimes also. I suppose this has something to do with probabilities inside our brain, the phrase "Single page" might be more probable than "Single file" (Hmm, I smell some similarities to LLM probabilities).

On a side note, what is interesting with SingleFile is that since the file can contain anything including JS, it's possible to create a local "executable" (html) that uses the resources inside the file and does not use a single external file. I have an actual game-like piece that runs locally with bunch of files and comparatively easily transforms into a single self-running "program" that even runs on a mobile file manager with WebView support

> When I worked at Microsoft more than 10 years ago, they set everyone's exchange storage to a small amount and they auto-deleted old email, but the storage per person was too small, with lots of messages with embedded docs, etc. So every developer was wasting time deleting messages, trying to get under the storage limit so you could send and receive new email.

I think Amazon also follows that practice. It assigns something like 2GB of email storage for everyone, and also has a policy in place to ask to increment storage by 250MB bumps. At each request, users are gently nudged to just delete emails.
Wouldn't that just give the fakers a tool that lets them easily tweak their fakery until it can't be easily caught?

The saving grace here is that many of these scammers don't have the sophistication or expertise in the wide possibility space of fraud discovery techniques to know where they're exposing themselves. Every type of check that we make automatable and trivially repeatable by anyone will immediately cease to detect anything except the most lazy or incompetent scammers.
The cookie banners are an unfortunate side effect of some pretty good data handling policy.

> the annoyance of needing new (expensive) cables for no real reason

A USB C cable is like $5 and one with a built in dac is $20
