I just use whatever is in debian testing or unstable, but it's trivial to download firefox _directly_ from mozilla which will then keep itself updated to the latest version.

This just chucks firefox in /usr/local but its straightforward to edit and use ~/, opt, etc., just make sure the created symlink is somewhere in $PATH. Desktop integration will depend on your DE/WM, but should be pretty simple to figure out if not automatic.

wget -O firefox-latest.tar.bz2 \

sudo mv firefox/ /usr/local/
sudo ln -s /usr/local/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox
It's unethical, but technically any pressed key or input while on a website could be saved to the site's servers or any servers it ever interacts with, even if you don't save it. So, in addition to your guideline, try to limit the number of websites you input any PII into. IN ADDITION to that, you need to limit the number of people who will take your information in real life and input your information into a system, for example, at a grocery store, gym, bank, dentist, insurance form, or any other service like that.

In a way, it's miraculous if one's identity HASN'T been used in nefarious ways without their knowledge, yet.
it has everything to do with it. the current issues are a symptom of shortcuts and cost cutting at the expense of long-term growth and continued success. 737 MAX MCAS was the result of MBAs cutting costs when the right thing was to spend more and develop a new plane. Aircraft doors blowing open mid-flight is the result of MBAs cutting costs and outsourcing safety device manufacturing and install to ultra-cheap low quality vendors like malaysian spirit aerosystems.
Yes, unreachable code after a "return" in a function is also a compile error. Very frustrating when I just want to nop out part of a function for debugging something else and have to keep fighting the compiler until I find a way that is acceptable.
I think this has been happening since the Ethiopian Airlines incident. Individuals should be extremely careful about using the news as a reliable way of measuring personal risk.
It seems that the departure has been delayed by a 1h20min but the plane did take off?
For those interested in this topic, I worked on improving dead code elimination in js_of_ocaml [1], a compiler from OCaml to JavaScript. The problem is more difficult in that case because of the indirection of OCaml's higher-order modules (functors).

Read aloud and Web captures are great.

I'm not daily driving Edge yet, but I do use it now and then and have been positively surprised a couple times.
Yeah, it made a lot of mainstream media. (It was also pretty much the only thing on space-youtube and russian-dashcam-youtube for weeks :-) Sort of "The Dark Knight"-esque use of a massive array of distributed cameras as an observatory...
Actually it sounds like the problem is it was no longer on the nose...
Yes. The youngest 757 is 20 years old, oldest is 40. This would be a maintenance issue of some sort.
One of the reason I'm holding on to an old car, apart from out of spite, is the big windows and fantastic visibility. It's like stepping into a sunroom compared to new cars.

> I wonder if optionally "bundling" high quality microSD cards at the time of sale might've helped?

High quality SD cards have always existed but consumers have been avoiding them because "the other one's much cheaper and I'm no sucker to pay more for the same amount of storage".

Also, Amazon is full of counterfit SD cards. That's why we can't have nice things.

So it's understandable phone makers are trying to avoid these extra hassles causing consumer frustration and support tickets.
I honestly do not understand, why regulators have not mandated limits on front dead angles (space occluded from view by the hood) and max vehicle hood hight by now. Well, I understand why it hasn't happened in the U.S. (how could any regulator curtail the manhood of the truck aficionados?), but in the E.U. regulators usually are more on top of these things.
Also, tractors are built to do work, not keep their occupants safe in a crash.
The molecules in a crystal still vibrate kinetically. A solid with no molecular motion would be at absolute zero temperature.
I inherited a go project that has two different commands under `cmd`, and it seems when I run this against one of those `main`s, it incorrectly detects what it thinks as dead code that is used in the other command.

Does anyone know how to work around this?
There is an entire industry for secure phones. Many have to be "unlocked" before dialing other secure phones. It isnt simple. Getting a normal phone line to passively carry an encrypted call is a bit of a hack.
This was on a pixel, so the update was from google. And I don't want to root the phone, I just want it to work.
> It just doesn't seem plausible.

Why do you think that? This sort of transformation can come about a number of ways. It’s not an everyday occurrence but it’s certainly not implausible.
Should be doable with a local model, but there might be some trade-off here. I expect it to roll out to Pixel users first where Google has a better control.
Some SUVs even have front cameras now to help see children
One could say that navigating a large vehicle through streets populated by humans should be considered a high precision affair, or is the difference expensive equipment vs human lives?
CEOs get paid a lot of money. Is this news?

You think he'd rather the company be successful in his tenure, or unsuccessful?
Conflict resolution logic is typically application specific so it would be hard to get something like this working in practice.
AFAIK, exactly this - something about how trucks and SUVs are classified differently and so have different emission standards, which results in other effects that are then appealing to consumers.

Plus, of course, marketing.
Can confirm this is awesome :)
I had glossed it, and the part where they make a surprise move to Kant, is ... not very convincing. The way they describe it doesn't make sense. It's not as if there's any proof that a "Whole" is life or vice versa. It's just one of their assumptions.

If we take their writing as some form of evidence for it, they claim children inherit your Parts, but that's not true. They also imply that Parts cannot exist outside the Whole, which is patently false when taken literally. But in the loose sense in which they seem to use it, I could totally see a piano as a Whole: keys, snares, hammers, sound board, it doesn't make sense outside a piano. Also, notable features of life aren't included nor implied by the concept Whole.

They also call Collectively Autocatalytic Sets an "established mathematical theory", but it's a mathematical property that can be true of some domain. It doesn't prove anything. There aren't any proofs involving that property in the paper either. Later they call it a "chemical reaction system," which seems to be more to the point, but there are so many of those.

It's just another idea, and not an original one either. Wikipedia: "Autocatalytic sets constitute just one of several current theories of life." That Autocatalytic sets by itself isn't enough to explain life may be a point, but there's no reason to assume they've found the magical ingredient in Kant.

You forgot to mention that Prigogine's model includes a system boundary. Within the system, the 2nd law of thermodynamics no longer holds - the system does not tend towards entropy, as the system ingests energy and exports entropy.
And heating/cooling is just transfer of kinetic energy? Seems strange if so.

Clerky CEO here :) I just wanted to pop in to let you know that we touched on this topic a bit in our handbook on startup incorporation:

I think these theories were always more sophisticated than religions. And the work of ancient philosophers is still not completely outdated, e.g. Aristotle's logic holds up, albeit in a limited domain. Moreover, the former theories have since further increased in sophistication, while religion didn't get significantly more sophisticated.

Though I admit your point is a good one and not so easily refuted. In general it is known as the "pessimistic meta-induction": Theories from the past were wrong, so we should think our current theories are wrong as well. See

A very high percentage of the time when people give me "great app ideas" when they find out I'm in software, always assuring me everyone in their field/interest-area would use this novel app they say I should make, it turns out that 1) it already exists. From several vendors. Literally the exact thing they want, on the platform they use, and 2) they've evidently never even bothered to check, because this information surprises them.
Please don't ignore that every other person also has moved from driving cars to crossovers that offer no actual advantages over a regular car. Most people want to sit high, and that's what sells crossovers. The hoods are higher in them too and we can't discount this and blame it all on big trucks.

Lots of people cheerleading horrific abuses of their fellow human beings during the pandemic now really REALLY don't want anyone talking about what they took part in doing. They don't even want to think about what they supported. Mirrors are harsh for monsters. Best off not becoming a monster in the first place. For those who already become one, the next best thing is for them to learn why they became a monster and figure out how to not become on again. Denial isn't the path for that.

What? United does have some alternatives. I thought the article was quite clear that United was considering/planning on cancelling their MAX 10 orders.

Sure, United might still be flying a bunch of Boeings, and maybe some other orders might still go through, but there are alternatives for United.
I think there's no doubt it's not as well maintained. Is it really that hard for Google to use a tiny bit of their computing power and machine learning to send these bulk spam emails to the junk folder?

I've had to create filters to stop spammers because they don't allow you to block enough email addresses. They haven't released a useful feature in I don't know how many years.

The last 757 flew away from Boeing in 2004. It's surely the case that the landing gear issue that happened today has little or nothing to do with Boeing's quality control and everything to do with airline maintenance actions/responsibility.

Have you looked at what's actually getting deployed? It's mostly no NAT and firewalls, so the signs actually seem to be pointing to "yes".

Even without a firewall, a /64 is an extremely large amount of space. It's nearly impossible to find active hosts by port scanning, compared to v4 where it's trivial to scan the entire address space. We won't end up in the same situation we were in on v4 back when nobody used firewalls, and that's not just because our networks mostly have firewalls these days.

Ironically, the message "I'm interested in this place - do you allow dogs?" is a piece of decent business writing on its own and way better than anything I saw while trying to sublet a room. I would rather see AI suggest phrases like that rather than their proposed answer.

Is there any good AI autocomplete tool out there? The only LLM tool I like currently is GitHub copilot. I basically want copilot for gmail + MS word, but every product I've found wants me to prompt an AI.

Do you have free speech? Yes, it's your constitutional right.

But then you become a lawyer and you get some clients. Do you have the freedom to say whatever you want about your client's case, in public? No, you don't. You have given up your right to exercise free speech on those specific issues.

Another example. You have free speech to criticize McDonalds. You can mock them all you like. But let's say, you sign a contract to become a PR Spokesman for them. You then mock them publicly, on their official Twitter account. Can you be sued? Yes you can, and your constitutional right will not defend you.

Contracts are not licenses. Contracts can give licenses, licenses cannot give contracts. In this case, while you are receiving an MIT-licensed work, you are under contract that you will not share this information with anyone. Contracts always supersede licenses. If you do give that information to anyone in violation of your contract, while the license itself means that the creator of the Godot port will not sue you, Nintendo may sue you for the breach because you are under contract with them.

> If that wasn't the case, nothing would prevent a company from taking 3rd-party GPL code, building on top of it, releasing the product as GPL, but then adding additional contractual requirements to get access to their product that prevented anyone from looking at or sharing that code.

Congratulations, that's actually the law right now at a certain level, and what the furor over Red Hat Enterprise Linux was about. Red Hat decided to release open-source code under a contract that prohibits distribution. The initial response was to have companies break that contract, but try to remain anonymous, as the receivers of that GPL code would be theoretically safe. This was later deemed too risky, unworkable, and antagonizing; which is why Alma Linux and others have given up on that approach, and just aim for general bug-for-bug compatibility from scratch.
You're right, they do. And I'm certainly no expert, but I have a more difficult time imagining a tire coming off the wheel intact without some catastrophic "blowout" impeding it's ability to smoothly roll than I do imagining a whole wheel coming off.

I prefer using my definition because it offers something more testable than just some (arbitrary?) degree of similarity.

For instance, cows have been shown to spend (significantly) more time standing near (randomly placed) pictures of smiling farmers than pictures of frowning farmers, which suggests that they have enough of a theory of mind to prefer farmers who appear to be in good moods to those who appear to be in poor ones.

That, of course, doesn't say anything about whether cows have a theory of their own mind, nor did that study do the (perhaps not so obvious?) step of recording picture placement relative to the cow's "bubble" (a curious bovine approaches head on; a frightened bovine leaves head first; a skeptical bovine places itself sideways to the object at a distance, with one eye upon it, so it can change to either of the first two if it comes to a decision either way), but at least it offers something more quantifiable than "I believe this thing to be more like me than that thing".
"I think therefore I am"
Exactly, initially we try to ditch data storage, lets say we do it by encrypting db and syncing to a cloud service, then expect it syncs on other devices when we're about to use the app. This would be just CRUD. Background processes would be a whole different problem to tackle with. I still can't envision a self-hosted decentralized backend on trivial devices.
Ah yes, that's the other good point. Really they are parts of the more general incoherency: "My religion is correct, while all the other religions, current or from the past, are mere superstition."
There are definitely polls that show women find men in trucks more attractive in the US than, say, vans. If you want to signal wealth and refinement get a luxury vehicle. If you want to signal utility and masculinity get a truck.

Seriously, I have yet to see a good tutorial how to herd IPv6 LAN with reliable local DNS, as is usual with IPv4. Everything is just handwaved away "nah, zero configuration". The reluctance to adopt it could stem from that.

Yes, but that decision process is much more than a one way compute graph. Muscle memory for actions (like throttle, steering, brakes) is probably closer to one way compute graph. Higher level strategy planning definitely has recursion to it.

Agricultural tractors aren't made with any consideration for pedestrian safety. The reason they have good visibility is because that makes them easier to use, and there is no other competing reason not to surround the driver with a lot of glass.

Passenger vehicles have other requirements that complicate this:

1. They must be attractive enough to sell in volume to the end buyer

2. They require large A-pillars to absorb crash impacts

You could make an SUV that looks big fish bowl, but it would be difficult to simultaneously achieve safety targets and be a commercial success.

I can't shed any light on your question, but I can't help wondering - just out of curiosity - if it could be dangerous for the internet. Suppose there's some replicating worm from years ago on that machine that everyone has forgotten about. My guess is that it wouldn't get far though. Like how if you find some old disease in a cave somewhere, chances are we're all vaccinated against it already.
It is the only way to restore the balance.
It's not Linux-branded to be fair (they label it as a "DIY" device that ships with no OS), but yeah.. I'm not really one to deviate too far from the defaults on a device I use for work.

It should be OS-level, but in 2024 NO vendor (Apple, Microsoft, Google) is going to make a new open protocol for cross-platform syncing, w/o binding it tightly to their authentication platform/device security system/etc.

> I'm not sure what that means in practice but I e.g., am not sure that "identity theft" should be a scary thing if the other side of the system is working optimally.

For that, the US needs to follow what virtually all EU member states have done, and provide every citizen with a government-issued ID card with NFC that can be used to authenticate against a website (e.g. a bank), and browsers would need to agree on a web standard allowing interfacing with such cards (there is Web NFC but it's by far not enough).

The problem is, this is politically untenable in the US for a bunch of reasons - the right wing complains about "big government" and fears a "nanny state" that tracks everyone and everything, and the left wing complains because ID cards cost money and would exclude people without proper documentation.

Additionally, passports don't store your residential address and people don't necessarily want the government to know said address, which means they are useless to banks as a factor proving "person X lives at address Y".
I'm curious, why do you think that?
