What are your biggest database pains?
Hey people,
We're building in the database space and are trying to focus on creating faster and developer friendly database platform.
We're looking to hear from people building software what are your current pains ?
What's working well ? What's annoying ?
It’s not really worth running pre-alpha software if you are not a developer.

It just opens the door for non-technical people to badmouth the software complaining that nothing works and expecting a fully functional browser.

Former physicist here. Your speculation about path integrals and measure theory isn't quite right.

Lattice QCD methods are definitely proven to be equivalent to the continuum theory when you take the appropriate limits. This isn't some mathematical mystery - Wilson's groundbreaking work in the 70s established this, and it's been rigorously developed since.

The actual g-2 puzzle is much more straightforward: we have competing measurements from different sources:

1. The Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment in Illinois directly measured the muon's anomalous magnetic moment.

2. The "data-driven" prediction used e+e- collision measurements from various experiments (BaBar at SLAC, KLOE in Italy, etc.) to calculate what the Standard Model predicts for g-2. This initially disagreed with Fermilab's measurement.

3. Lattice QCD calculations (like those from the BMW collaboration) produced theoretical predictions that matched Fermilab's experimental result.

4. More recently, new e+e- measurements from the CMD-3 experiment at VEPP-2000 in Russia (2023) are bringing the data-driven approach closer to both the lattice calculations and Fermilab's experimental values.

So it's really just a question of which experimental measurements of e+e- collisions are most accurate/resolve any experimental differences, not some exotic mathematical issue with QFT formulations.
It's a dog whistle for followers of those same demagogues.

It says it is.
Thinking about this a bit more: the most likely use for this specific license grant I can come up with is a 3rd party partnership similar to pre-acquisition Pocket.

Imagine if on first startup Firefox offers you to show website recommendations. Maybe a prechecked checkbox. If you don't say no, they send anything you type in the address bar to some third party, that third party throws that in a recommendation system and spits out websites you may want to visit, which Firefox then shows in the new-tab page. This license grant would cover that. They would be using a license on content I input (all my keystrokes in the address bar) to help me experience online content (recommendations for new content) as I indicate (they asked). In principle recommending me websites based on all images I upload with Firefox would also be covered, though that's a bit far fetched.

Of course in the EU you'd probably have pretty strict consent requirements because of the GDPR, same with other jurisdictions with strong privacy protections. But in places with weak privacy protections the grant in question should cover all bases to pull something like this
Did the title change since you asked, or what is claiming that they aren't? I don't see anything on the title, the README, or the website making the claim you want defended. It just says "a" truly independent web browser, that doesn't seemingly claim exclusivity to that status.
I was referring to Nepal where women were, until recently, exiled during menstruation. And birth rates there have also fallen with modernization. [1]

The statement is clear and simple and would not benefit from a TOS rewrite. What you really want are clearer processing directions built into the Firefox UI, not a longer or different TOS.

Something like, a popup over the execute button on the search bar disclosing the specific processing instruction you are providing by pressing that button, and by whom.

Or, when you use a vertical scroll bar, a confirmation that no processing is occurring outside your local machine.

These things would satisfy some more detail-minded people, but ultimately would provide no significant value to either Mozilla or the marginal user, so it's really no mystery why Firefox does not do this.

I'd consider myself the target audience since I frequently dance around spreadsheets and scripts, but being able to use my tool of choice is a must. A simple table or even a database can't fully replace a full-featured spreadsheet application. They are just not the same thing.
One thing that's not unusual in Japan is for women here to want to be housewives. A lot of people just don't like office politics and commuting and there's nothing wrong with that. The idea that educated people MUST work at a company feels kind of antiquated, honestly. Normalize education for the sake of simply having educated people in society.

If they are changing the decisions that Apple makes? Probably. iPhones are a luxury item; Apple is not skimping and doesn't want to accidentally assassinate their customers. Reliability and safety are selling points to them. We're not talking about explosive Lebanese pagers here.

My expectation would be that Apple could quite easily design the phone independently of the safety regulations, then do a review and determine that they have effortlessly complied with them. Otherwise it is more likely to be a defect in the regulation than with Apple.

Its against the ToS to watch most PG rated movies. It objects to graphic depictions of violence as well, and has no exception for brief graphic depictions of sexuality.
It is also going to make the US poorer in that we can't build our weapons. Selling F-35 to our allies was way to build closer connections. Part of that was spreading around parts production.

F-35 production could become leverage. But countries like UK, Canada, and Netherlands could retaliate by stopping making parts. It would cost a lot of money and time to move parts production. And ruin relationships with allies.
Right, and plenty of conservatives also claim that Fox News is not really conservative anymore. A fact one may not be aware of if they live in this bubble or that. The nature of echo chambers is that it normalizes far from normal behavior/views/actions to the point that then not going even further away from normalcy is seen as toeing the line or even yielding to "the other side."

This is, by far, the most destructive issue with the trend of media spinning everything to conform to the biases of their target demographic.
This is incredible. I'm speechless.
They're not linking to a change in wording? The "Does Firefox sell your personal data?" question was deleted entirely. Unless the parent comment or link was edited at some point, maybe.
It was, it still is and its going to be like that from now on. The shareholders were made get used to ever-growing growth. So being profitable is not enough - the profits must grow every quarter. So this is a self-reinforcing, vicious spiral. They will lay off even more people as the economy contracts. And that contraction is aided by these layoffs. Talk about a snake that eats his tail...
I tried using Brave ages ago. I wanted to like it, but it crashed even more often than Firefox (which is a feat unto itself) and didn't have the option to tag bookmarks.
You’re getting downvoted because you’re giving the same kind of hysterical reaction everyone derides crypto bros for.

I wish to some day have as much optimism about anything as you have about Mozilla. How you can see the ToS change and this diff and conclude that the outrage is astroturfing is difficult for me to grasp. Both this FAQ entry and the ToS are specifically about the Firefox browser, the wording was unambiguous...

They literally went and deleted a paragraph that said Firefox would "never" sell your personal data. If they needed to clarify a technicality, they wouldn't need to delete that.

Looking forward to the alpha release. Can’t / shouldn’t this be financed by the users in the end to be fully independent? Like Orion or Kagi.
This is such a travesty. Her resourcefulness is awesome. It really boils my blood that this happens. It boils my blood that disabled kids are just discarded.

No. It doesn't say that.

If you want to claim otherwise, show where it says that and elaborate. This style of "argument" leads nowhere. You're stringing together vague statements and claims, leaving it to the imagination of the reader to tie them into the matter at hand. Maybe you want to do your own dissection of the sentence we are arguing about to make your reading of it clear.

You could try reading the linked paper. If I am reading it correctly, basically, we have atmospheric models for brown dwarfs and the presence of C2H2 and compounds cannot be explained by those models. So they think there are more complex atmospheric processes like aurora or lightning behind it.

The Microsoft Services Agreement applies to your use of their online services, like OneDrive and SharePoint, as you say, and there's an explicit consent in the app and a giant off switch there. They employ dark patterns to push you strongly to use their online services, but it's still optional.

It should be readily obvious that choosing to use online sharing or storage features or submit reviews require the data you enter to be sent, shared, or stored thusly...

Does nobody in you family own MacOS or Windows? Because there you can install malicious apps so your point is selective. Also there were many malicious apps approved by apple - this days they do a lot of checks automatically so nothing prevents to do it (kind of like virus or malware scanner that would check something before installation).

If you worry about your family why apple cannot provide some similar but simpler tooling like parental control where (non-tech savvy) family will have to ask you for confirmation? In his situation you would be some administrator or guardian but will much less permissions.

Why bother? It's win win for user and developer because they can offer you something cheaper. They can advertise you that if you buy subscription from 1st hand it will be cheaper.

It would also allow different business model - instead of monthly / yearly subscription you can charge for app one time and then maybe for big upgrade every few years.

But it's not only that about the cost. You would be allowed to have apps that are not possible because would be rejected or cannot use private API that apple apps have. It would allow to have browser that support fullscreen mode, push notifications like android, better PWA support, WebGPU support. Faster cross platform apps (react-native) that allow access to JIT. 3rd party keyboard that allow much better voice transcription even locally (all 3rd part keyboard have it kind of broken right now because of API limitation) and the list goes on.
Basically noone other than browser vendors will look at the spec anyway. The reality is effectively descriptive, not prescriptive.

Sure, without having a majority marketshare a browser can't by itself push for their new features to be supported by other browsers, but they will effectively disincentivize website owners to not use features they don't support if they have marketshare of any significance. At which point it'd be in W3C's best interest to allow Ladybird to participate, or else their work gets underutilized.

> forces people to adopt anti-patterns to limit costs

The previous pricing model, per workspace, did the same. Pricing models are often based on "value received", and therefore often can be worked around with anti-patterns (e.g. you pay for Microsoft 365 per user, so you can have users share the same account to lower costs).
