"Anchor baby" xenophobia is so 20 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_baby

> Statistics show that a significant, and rising, number of undocumented immigrants are having children in the United States, but there is mixed evidence that acquiring citizenship for the parents is their goal.[29] According to PolitiFact, the immigration benefits of having a child born in the United States are limited. Citizen children cannot sponsor parents for entry into the country until they are 21 years of age, and if the parent had ever been in the country illegally, they would have to show they had left and not returned for at least ten years ...

> Parents of citizen children who have been in the country for ten years or more can also apply for relief from deportation, though only 4,000 persons a year can receive relief status; as such, according to PolitFact, having a child in order to gain citizenship for the parents is "an extremely long-term, and uncertain, process."

So I imagine you think these people are all coming to the US to have babies, then, what, leaving them here? As orphans? Can you point to the orphan numbers?

Or going home to raise the kid so that 18 years later the now-adult kid will move to the US - a country that's mostly foreign to them, with little support network?

Where are your numbers that this is an actual problem?

How does it compare to the devastating failures of the US health care system and parasite that is the insurance industry?

How does it compare the destruction of the social safety network caused by decades of tax cuts for the wealthy?

Tell me why anyone should care all that much?

There is something deeply wrong with the donate nag: The money goes to funding Mozilla-branded nonsense (e.g. misguided adventures into the VPN space), overpaid executives and bloated administration (as they actively shed developers [1][2]), and not the browser.

I think if ones perspective of manual art changes, so does that of AI art, sorta like shifting priorities in life. Some priorities are higher than others. And past a certain point, AI art becomes a tempting option beneath a certain motivation level.

If for example you find manual art more fun to practice than AI art, you'd be less inclined to give AI companies money to generate art, since you could perhaps spend hours and hours practicing and have fun.

And of course if you don't find manual art enjoyable, but still don't want to give up on the "art" idea entirely, AI art crosses the threshold into enjoyability, so the end product is at least in front of your eyes.

As for how to learn how to make one type of art more fun than the other, if ones preferences are set in stone, it's pretty tough. The AI/non-art-inclined crowd might invert your quote so the laundry and dishes get prioritized, because different people have different priorities.
> I am in my mid-70s now

It says something about society that asks people to work well beyond their retirement age.

I hope you are only looking because it gives you purpose rather than doing it because it’s necessary (ie, medical bills, rent). If it’s the latter, very dystopian and on par for this neoliberal economic hellhole we live in.

Personally, if I get to that age. I am cashing in my chips. No way I am working for soulless corporations, whether that’s part time or full time.

I would much rather “retire” and work on my own open source projects or contribute to FOSS projects I like. Worst case scenario, I become a wood worker ;)
No, it's talking about QT: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt-toolkit

I'd go with Unforgiven (1992).

He was perfect as the sherif. One of those morally ambiguous characters, that you warm to but know is really a bad guy (much like the Clint Eastwood's lead character).

That was one of the first ones I thought of as well. Not sure why but the line "I can't be worrying about every little thing!" stuck in my mind.

Thank you! Yes, that is the one. I actually found it on my bookshelf just now, but in searching for "that book with the wormholes" several times before I never thought to check this one. Great sci-fi story.
I always enjoy reading about quantum optics, and the concept of entanglement is mind-blowing (I mean after all, no less than Albert Einstein went to his grave thinking we must be missing something in the theory.)

However, the quantum erasure experiments are really just a variation on other Bell Violation experiments (which also appear to violate causality at first glance.) At their heart the wave functions appear to say that particles are in multiple locations at the same time (so "touching" one particle must affect the state of the other particle instantly.) This information, though, isn't useful until all the results are brought back to one location (i.e., all the strangeness is buried in _some combination_ of the lists of results in the different locations, which can only be combined in a way that obeys causality.) Each list of results by itself looks random. So in this sense, "when" exactly you get your result won't tell you anything.

So no, you can't retake that picture you really wanted but flubbed on your last vacation.
Without going too deeply, I sympathize with the writer on an extremely personal level.

At some point, you have to make a decision- do you continue to maintain a relationship with your father, or do you choose to sever your relationship like most people he knew.

If you choose the former, then you will accept that he will never change, and some day he will even harm you, if he has to choose between you and his beliefs. It's not that your father is out to do bad things- an aggressive dog does not intentionally try to bite your legs off. It's just doing what it believes is best for itself. You will have to learn to accept it, hard as it might be.

If you choose the latter, then realize that your father spent decades of his best life holding behind his beliefs to raise you, and that the least you can do is to make sure he doesn't die alone.

From my armchair research, this kind of change stems from a deep-seated sense of paranoia/threat, that was seeded by childhood traumas. A schizophrenic sense that everything in the world is trying to cause harm to him. When the person was young and was trying to make a living, he can keep those thoughts away. But as he gets older and can see the end of his life, these paranoia thoughts gradually overwhelm him. Having all the sudden free time post-retirement doesn't help either.

"Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem -- neat, plausible, and wrong." ( H. L. Mencken )

Probably conflating popularity with good design. The talk covers the financial incentives for naive code choices, and perceived job security in ivory towers.

It might work for you, but in general is bad for the firm long-term. Best of luck =)
I disagree. It's a way to talk about fear which is not a little thing. We're all afraid. We're humans. It's a great skill, to be afraid, because it allows us to avoid so many dangers. There's no shame in being a human. :-)

The point is the father is afraid to die. And he's coping with it by spending a lot of energy thinking about other things that he thinks he can control. He simply factually wrong in this case but the work effort, the strength that he's exerting is admirable. He's got his list, it's 10 things, he's organized $10,000, he says he's thought about this, "a million times".

I think it's actually pretty useful and helpful as an article. A cautionary tale in some ways. Plus it seems factual.

They are not saying that the father is little, or belittled. They're saying that the father's perspective is rigid. And that it causes external problems when changes happen around that father.

Q: Am I overlooking something in the article? Did they actually say, "my father is worthless etc etc?"

Eg When the daughter needs to talk about the part of her identity that she's been hiding for decades, the father doesn't want to hold that conversation, which proves to be an insurmountable amount of distress for the daughter as she needs support, so she has to separate. And This rigid rejection is because of the issues that are discussed in the article.

In a way it's interesting to see how a functioning family can fall apart. In that way it's a cautionary tale: Don't expect the way that you relate to your father or your father relates to you will remain a stable constant throughout their lives. People change.

Fear of death is pretty distracting and devastating for many.
It's a very short article, but I don't think the underlying technology is as underdeveloped as you think.

> It means they read and collect every bit of information we input in the browser

It does not mean that.

It means some lawyer is concerned that Mozilla is in possession of some kind of data that is subject to other regulatory claims in some country.

This could easily be trivial, benign, or wrong.

I'll be shocked if a clarification/correction is not issued within 24 hours.

And I'll be shocked if some portion of HN doesn't argue that the clarification is a coverup and now that we've seen the real Mozilla we can never trust them again and we should all use Chrome because if we're going to get eaten we should all be eaten by the same monster.
The Conversation is probably my favorite as well, but I always enjoyed Enemy of the State (1998) a lot. It has the same paranoid vibes as some of his work in the 70s, but with the subtlety replaced with sensational action. He was great in that film as a retired super spook, and his chemistry with Will Smith really elevated it.
> A hard line between labour and capital seems a bit reductive.

What hard line? The hard line I didn't draw with the "what percent of your money" formulation?

> Net worth is a bad way to think about this, because it makes people think billionaires have billions of dollars in cash ready to be taxed away.

If it's not cash it can't be taxed? I brought up real estate as a counterexample to the entire stable of "it's tooo haaaaard" arguments, and that's the weakest of them. I was expecting something taller, like the liquidity argument. But real estate comfortably refutes them all and you didn't even try to deal with that.

> you're talking about taking their property away from them

The government wouldn't hesitate for a second to take my property when they are taxing me waaay heavier than mega billionaires. Why the fuck should I be the slightest bit sympathetic to the sanctity of their literal entitlement?

Some people put property rights on an altar and treat them as a fundamental principle, but here's the thing: property rights (at their worst) have been used to institute and defend literal slavery. If you want to put them on an altar, if you want to treat them as a fundamental principle rather than a tool to economically link investment with return, I'm going to make you own that and defend it. Do you want to go down that road?

FWIW in bash I have 2 functions:

path_add() {
export PATH=$PATH:$(string_join ':' $@)
}

path_prepend() {
PATH=$(string_join ':' "$@"):$PATH
export PATH
}

These can join an arbitrary list of paths to PATH. e.g.

path_add /usr/bin /usr/local/bin ~/bin

They depend on another one:

string_join() {
local join=$1; shift
local result=$1; shift
for p in "$@"; do
result="${result}${join}${p}"
done
echo -n "$result"
set +x
}

I also have ones for adding and prepending to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

It depends on how well the owner maintains the house.
My dad spent some time nearly every weekend doing something around the house.
He did nearly everything himself: painting interior and exterior, plumbing, appliance repair and installation, window frame adjustments.
He even rolled out fiberglass installation in the attic,
and in the process accidentally slipped off a joist and put his foot through the ceiling,
but he fixed the drywall himself.
About the only thing he didn't do himself was re-roof.
I'm sure he saved a ton of money not paying contractors to do all that.

For someone who doesn't do upkeep,
or can't afford competent contractors to do it,
major repairs can happen any time,
without warning.

>Most Americans don't have enough savings to cover an unexpected $1000 bill

Do you think the poor in your average western country have a lot more liquidity than Americans? Especially after inflation and increased CoL with stagnating wages.

>Having to compare America, one of the richest nations in the world, to a generic developing nation is proof enough that something is very imbalanced.

Who is making that comparison? I'm telling you to look at statistics. And statistically American citizens are wealthier than most developed nations. And the poor american citizens pose no thereat to the rich American citizens in order to be a problem for them as the OP makes it seem.

Whether you are liberal or conservative, Christian or otherwise, this is a phenomenon we should all be aware of. As a conservative, both theologically and politically, it saddens me to see the rapid growth of lunacy on the right. The left's lunacy still prevails in academia and the media, but it is starting to fade. On the other hand, the right's lunacy is growing and getting stronger. It's unfortunate that when the cultural pendulum swings back towards normal that it invariably overshoots in the other direction.
That's because of the incompetence of the manufacturer of the craft used, not humanity's inability to make this happen. So this isn't even close to being a fair comparison.
They don’t get to decide that. They are paid by the federal government, any revenue they get goes back to the federal government. Trump/Musk are laying off federal workers regardless of how much revenue they bring in, or if their jobs are self sustaining or even profitable based on the fees they bring in. For example, he laid medical equipment inspector whose jobs are completely paid for by fees.
Remember, "Poor writing, not specialized concepts, drives processing difficulty in legal language."*

You see that here. Mozilla chose to use legalese and not plain language, despite there being a movement afoot to try to push (and in some cases legally require) for plain language in legal documents. This one isn't so bad, since they mostly avoid passive voice and don't needlessly capitalize much. Maybe the low frequency jargon is necessary but look at those center embeddings...

Break it into multiple sentences.

First sentence establishes you input data into
firefox when you use firefox (obviously, but maybe not to everyone!). Second clause establishes that when you input that data you give firefox a license to that data which you otherwise own (this could be more clear in a separate sentence). Third clause establishes that the license is to use the information (not to sell it). Fourth clause establishes that they will use it to help you navigate, experience and interact with online content. Fifth clause (as you indicate) establishes that it is your use of firefox that indicates your intention and how they should use your input to help you. As five separate sentences they could make it seem much more reasonable. The embeddings are instead ineffective because they aren't referring to a common category but instead modify an aspect of the former clause.

Firefox's blog post in the change[1] has an update:

> UPDATE: We’ve seen a little confusion about the language regarding licenses, so we want to clear that up. We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible. Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox…

Uh, yeah, that's exactly the problem. Mozilla shouldn't be allowed to use all the information I type into Firefox at all. Mozilla doesn't need any rights for Firefox to process my data locally on my behalf, or even for Firefox to send my data to third parties on my behalf (ex. instant search suggestions). Those aren't Mozilla using my information; those are me using my information using Firefox.

They would only "need" extra rights to collect data and process it on their servers for unspecified purposes. They do legitimately process some data on their servers, such as Firefox Sync data, but that's already covered under the Mozilla account terms of service. There's no need for a broad license for all data going through Firefox.

That is debatable if that is hyperbole but I might be moving the discussion a bit too much off topic so ye maybe more neutral language would have been preferable.
How does this work in a multi-user environment? Or if you want to override PATH only in certain contexts (eg. python virtual environment, which overrides python and pip)?

The article literally says the 21 are people from the digital service. In other words not “musk engineers”, but federal workers now refusing to do their job. The headline calling them “DOGE staffers” is misleading.
> If you're counting neutrons in that "energy flux", they'll just go through the wall (mostly); this is how tokamaks are supposed to make electricity, ie the neutrons go through the wall and hit a "blanket" that's much better at absorbing neutrons, and the blanket will heat up and the heat will be converted to electricity.

Yes! This is what I was wondering about. Presumably you would want more energy out than you use to run the reactor, and if that amount of neutron flux would melt the wall it would not be a workable design. Glad to know if this is not true.

The problem is that Linux does not have solid way of setting environment variables for an user (or user session). .bashrc is relevant for only bash (obviously), but bash is not the only thing that needs PATH and other env vars.

At least systemd brought some sanity with environment.d, but as this thread (and jvns article) shows it's not very well known. And of course there is still all sorts of weird inherited complexity like pam_env.
