>Someone else pointed out that ads exist, and you got snippy

Right. Clutch your pearls now. People only pointed out some things and the bad man got so snippy.

What 'someone else' actually said was "maybe we should invent ads, so that we don't all have to become influencers".

Clearly a snarky comment, which I accurately identified as smug and dismissive.

>I pointed out that you don't get an audience for free, and that seems to have further upset you.

There's that "pointed out" phrase again. Yes, you "pointed out" a lot and your comments were just as obnoxious, dismissive and condescending, while imputing unstated sentiments in bad faith.

If it's really a discussion and understanding you want, then re-read your comments and see if you can figure out where you went wrong.

But, I feel no obligation to teach you how to talk to people.

Good luck.
Slightly overstates the case but the underlying point is quite well made. I woke up to what JAMF on my mac meant when an admin said "you're making too many ssh connections to .local" or similar.

What you're saying is technically true, but also not relevant, as explained. They can have the best system in place today, and just change Firefox tomorrow. So it doesn't really matter how the system works now. This is true for anything from Mozilla to XFree86 to Redis to left-pad.

De-facto reality is that right now anyone can create an account and just create a signing key and distribute their extensions $anywhere. Approval is little more than rubber stamp. Mozilla not going around granting "approval" or anything like that.

And they certainly didn't revoke the very weak "approval" here; people can distribute and install it. It's just not listed on the Russian add-on store. So that makes it doubly irrelevant.
Not true, you can simply use an xpi file, without signature even when a flag is set.

But you are only able to hedge the money part of the risk. Life insurance does not bring anyone back, and health insurance only repairs your health as much as can be done with money. You can't insure against incurable diseases, as in the risk remains. You will just get some money to hopefully feel better, or for your children.

Same with insuring some painting let's say. You can get enough money to buy a different painting, but the risk of losing that particular painting is still there. If it is a unique painting and it gets lost, how are they going to repair the non-monetary value of it? They can't.

Hedging the risk of being shot by wearing armour sounds like actual hedging. Buying insurance against being shot sounds like just betting. The non-money part is exactly the difference, and it is missing in insurance.
Dude, can you turn down the edge-lord a bit? I’m just trying to have a conversation. We don’t have perfectly free markets in the west precisely because most of the public, including in the US, and UK, believes in some sort of regulated neoliberalism. But that’s a policy choice—it doesn’t support your notion that an empirically-based principle can override democratic will. Many european countries in fact experimented with greater degrees of socialism in the 1960s and 1970s, and moved back towards market economies. But all that happened democratically. Capitalism is a policy tool subject to the popular will, not a religious mandate (like how you treat the principle of bodily autonomy).

As to Muslim migration to Europe: I’m not invoking any “Great Replacement conspiracy.” Quite the opposite. I’m from a Muslim country, and I've come to believe that our rejection of individual autonomy is empirically superior to European embrace of that concept (at least to the extreme it has been taken in post-Christian Europe). The notion of individual autonomy has made their societies literally unsustainable. Those countries must resort to importing population from Muslim countries in order to just to continue existing.

So to recap: “full bodily autonomy” is just a principle (frankly, it’s a cultural precept of European culture). And its empirical results are mixed. So why should such a principle override the popular will?

Wow, I did not realise some places required you to do a test in order to be able to do an MBA.

I did an MBA without having to do any pre-tests, but rather just on the basis of my previous degree GPA and my work experience.

My honest thoughts would be don’t do an MBA - having done one. It’s a regret for me, not because I didn’t learn anything because I definitely did, but it was expensive and I don’t think the return on investment has been that worth it. I think knowing what I know now, I would actually have been better off to have chosen to specialise in something rather than graduating with a generalised Masters. Maybe do masters in economics, or finance, or if it’s people management you’re interested in then org.psych. But don’t waste money on an MBA.

It is sad that event based code is so hard to read.

I wish some programming language would let the programmer write the code as-if polling, but then transform the program automatically to something event based at compiletime.

Eg.

While(true):

If (something_else) do_y()

The Linux select() API is nearly that, although it's rather cumbersome.
I like the idea and it's not specific to web development. So many times in my career I've wanted to share a schema and data types of an application across languages that need to communicate with each other. For example, a C script that generates JSON data to be read in a Python notebook into the same data types.

I'm aware that serialization frameworks like protocol buffers do this, but they usually come with a whole lot of other baggage, dependencies, hit-or-miss language support, and clunky APIs. I want something more lightweight that allows me to start developing an application by developing its schema, without it being tied to a specific serialization framework or language implementation.

> I’ve never seen anyone get through a PIP successfully (n=6).

I don’t think they’re meant to succeed. If you want to keep an employee, you give them feedback and coach them. A PIP is used to document evidence that an employee is incompetent and is incapable of improving despite your best efforts, as a precursor to firing them.
I haven't looked too in depth into it, but it looks closer to what I described? It doesn’t look like the method the other commenter was describing.

Also, keep in mind that I did not mean to implement something better than what Flash did. It's merely an extension to the kind of morphing the browsers already offer.

It is not an awful attitude if you are on the receiving end of submissions by wannabe authors. I have a friend who regularly attends writers' workshops and she tells me there is a lot of bad writing being presented. Some people take feedback on board and improve, some decide the world is against them and refuse to listen. Both go the self-publishing route when rejected by traditional publishers. There are also syndicates of writers writing series of books under the same name hoping one of them sticks and sells the others in the series. There is a lot of crap out there.

> worse roman civilization must have been for women that they apparently

When it comes to women rights the Romans were relatively progressive (possibly unintentionally) by historical standards. I think certainly an improvement over the Taliban style treatment of women in classical Athens..

By the mid/late Republican period they switched to a form of marriage which allowed women in practice to retain their legal personhood and wealth to some extent after marriage (legally she remained under the protection of her father/family while living in her husband’s household, meaning that he had very limited authority over her or her personal property).

In the Imperial period https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_trium_liberorum while far from universal (but from what I understand it was possible to get it without having 3 children in some cases) granted women comparable rights to those they possessed in pre-1800s Europe.
So for all those with weather stations at home do you have recommendations for a all in one physical weather station?

I typically go through a tire a year. The city I live in (Seattle) will pay to replace the tire if the loss was due to a pot hole, but you have to take a picture of the pot hole, which can be a bit hard to do in many circumstances.

There have been years where I've paid more for tires than for gas. :/
Apparently you cannot "unbrick" your apps until you return to this physical brick device. But yeah, you might be able to accomplish the same thing with a printed QR code.

There’s really no need. Ever heard of an algal bloom? Also happens with jellyfish. On freshwater plants like duckweed do similar things.

Given the right nutrients population explosions happen. Environmentalists usually treat these as bad things but they certainly could be good ways to sink carbon. They could be triggered by fertilizing some of the more barren sections of ocean selected to minimize ecological effect. Quite a lot of the biomass simply falls to the ocean floor and gets buried, it could also be harvested and sequestered another way or used as a biomass fuel.

On freshwater lakes you could grow and harvest duckweed.

Well Irene managed to usurp the throne in a similar way to most male emperors (by scheming and murdering her opponents, even if one of them happened to be her own son…) and even managed to rule on her own right for a while. Which was extremely unique historically, even by modern standards (how many female dictators are there?).
Tangentially related: I needed to share some binary data from Java to python. Didn’t want to pull in protobuf (for probably mostly bad reasons), so I wrote a writer implementation in Java, then asked gpt4o to write the python reader. Worked like a charm - it produced a great starting point then refactored it to my liking.

All that to say: with chatbots being able to implement “the other side”, it really made it a lot easier to just whip up a custom schema and not really worry too much.

(Helped that it was a one off in my case, unclear how well this would scale to real world production usage)
