I think it's a great moment for the CEO to have a spine and show the stupidity of the board in that moment.

"To the board: if you have this level of distrust for my management, you should fire me immediately. This request is out of line, and shows great disrespect for our employees as well as myself. If you are dissatisfied with the information you receive about the company's operations and performance, you can talk to me and my staff about that. I will not allow you to display such callous disregard for the people under my leadership."
This sort of agreement keeps on popping up. Again and again.

The most forgiving reading of the intent of this sort of agreement is that "it is the basic function of a web browser to transfer your stuff across the internet, and it is the basic function of a website to do stuff like make thumbnails of your images and send them to people looking at your stuff, and you are cool with us doing this" but it always ends up being written in the most incredibly grabby way possible, demanding a perpetual, irrevocable license for all potential future uses so that you can't sue if one thumbnail gets forgotten when you delete your stuff or because it got turned into a new format or something.

And this kind of license just happens to cover other stuff nobody thought of at the time like "we can totally train an AI on everything you generate and let people ask it to generate work explicitly derivative of your work without owing you a single cent". Which is a total dick move. So's stuff like "track everything you do and share that data with a distributed surveillance industry that sprung up around advertising". And eventually some asshole comes along and says "hey I could make a lot of money doing this thing that everyone "agreed" to when they scrolled down that lengthy terms of service and hit OK".
I guess they are talking about KaiOS, which had initial success, shipping on more 100M devices in India. Unfortunately they have been struggling to expand outside of India and even in India these days since their partner (Reliance Jio) is not pushing new devices there so much.

Another major pain point is they lost support from WhatsApp, which is really the king maker in many countries when it comes to mass market adoption of a mobile platform.
The idea that half or over half of all men are in this category in the next 10-20 years seems totally plausible.

Many types types of "third spaces" and in person establishments are on the decline and its been this way for 20+ years.
The use case isn't that narrow though. Just the flet project has 12.5k GH stars (which I would say represents significant adoption), and I'll wager there are other projects out there running in random environments that have Python support but bringing in Rust will be a serious pain. It's degrading the ecosystem IMO. The only other language I'm aware of that has significant library wrapping is Fortran, and those libraries have on par or better alternatives in C as well as are now essentially legacy.
It's even worse: a friend of mine is part of a team developing a WYSIWYG editor for the browser. AI coding tools are not helpful at all in this task.
The Plateau of Latent Potential
I like the design of the landing page and the book pages a lot! Well done.

I didn't use Goodreads, but I'm considering Bookwyrm now, because it supports ActivityPub, which is awesome, because I want to avoid vendor/network lock-in if possible.
what would you call it instead? or does the word cherry have some weird association in your mind?

No they don’t. We all live in the same world and it’s everyone’s responsibility to realize that and our impact on those around us as well as our environment. The ruling class’ personality disorders (detaching from the common folk) are primarily their problems and should be dealt with by them, not worked around by us.
No evidence at all. Just feelings.
Exactly @lagcblue ! You’re right.Imagine a crew of AI agent doing all that from a centralised command center
Thanks man. I do have a copy of "Inside Windows NT", but I decided to study XV6 first because of its pedagogical value. It's hard even to compile the leaked NT 3.X source code.
Yes, it was revived by Igalia, and has good momentum. Check https://servo.org
My experience is that anything that tries to tamper with the UA will send CF into a frenzy.

My regular firefox instance is pretty much okay. Unfortunately there is a bunch of super popular crapware shit like Teams and Slack that refuses to properly work on Firefox, unless you tweak the UA. The last time I had to do this was about half a year ago, but Slack refused to let me "huddle", unless I changed my UA. Same with Teams, it straight up said I need to install chrome if I want video chat.

Any time I forgot to change back my UA, CF would not let me in anywhere. I got the captcha, clicked on it, it said "all good", reloaded the page, and I got redirected back to the captcha. Endless loop.
There are more than enough things to complain about. If somebody wants to have a YouTube channel where they just complain, why is that a problem?
If the library wasn't open for extension, an enum could work. With the currently model, users can write their own plugins, bring their own storage provider, or even write an email consumer that reacts to events from the EventBus - all without needing to upstream their changes to torii and torii-core.
I mean we’re talking about a self-selected group of people who’ve chosen money over… nearly everything else. I do think it’s hard for them to empathize because nothing in their existence encourages them to do so. They’re richly rewarded for their choices and we all just go along with it.
You may be literally correct, but the purchase of an ad company makes that literal assumption likely wrong.

The ambiguous nature of the changes favor some shady self dealing. Sorry.
There's the abstract, and the concrete.

If you ask those same Republicans if they would pardon a violent offender who committed crimes in an attempt to defend Trump's claims of victory on January 6, you would get a very different answer.
And again, I'm responding to another post (two, actually) about intent. If you have an issue with it, take it up with them. I acknowledge your point as fair, but a separate point.
I think it’s a brilliant and effective way to route out insubordination and dead workers.
DuckDuckGo has browsers btw
Completely disagree with that interpretation of that language. Given the beginning sentence of “You give Mozilla the rights necessary to operate Firefox.”

Operate Firefox is an extremely broad statement. It then goes to outline that means everything in their privacy notice (which then also includes even more broad language) and then exclusive, worldwide license.

No good will or benefit of the doubt should be given to a terms of service like this. The changes here are an expansion of Firefox’s rights - therefor, a contracting of your own.
They were talking about people with good paying jobs living in big cities, not China in general. There are people living in extreme poverty in first world countries, and rural areas are always different to big cities.

So would you would take the vote away from " those on the right side of the IQ bell curve"? (That has been done before, you know. You might be somewhat uncomfortable sitting with those who once did it, however).
Perhaps, but I can normally force myself in overcome fear/anxiety if there's a real benefit to me. When it comes to these drugs? I can only see neutral or negative outcomes.

I think the problem is that like the business culture in the US is so cutthroat and stressful, and people generally so self-centered. That like, they literally can’t imagine a type of life or stress that isn’t solved by muscle through it or work more or whatever.

You also end up in these bubbles where you literally can’t empathize with people because you have no experience to fall back on.

Combine that with a sort of media and religious culture that will tell you you’re right to feel that way.

I’ve hear rich people complain about the fact that rich people are people to, d that poor people don’t appreciate them enough.

And actually, I think this is a common thread these days, that essentially the world’s problems are caused by the fact that rich people don’t have enough power and aren’t trusted enough by society. Marc Andreesen implied this in his Joe Rogan interview.
I think there are a lot of reasons, and forced attrition is definitely something they see as a benefit. However, I do genuinely think that a lot of them truly believe that working together in an office, face-to-face, is important. RTO is not just a cold calculation, but also reflective of their moral values towards work.

Whether those values actually lead to a better company is the part that, I feel, continues to lack evidence.
> If you want to argue that one could derive a theory of physics etc. that doesn't rely on the real numbers that's one thing.

That wasn't my original intent, but I think it's a legitimate stance. The Reals are bizarre (Banak Tarski, etc...), and we practically never use the non-computable ones.

> It's only ever some mathematicians, computer scientists and philosophers who care about the fact that most of them aren't computable.

Lol, who else WOULD care? :-)

> That's probably possible although I doubt that it would be very elegant.

That's an aesthetic judgment. Someone else might argue that sticking to the numbers we actually use and can calculate is simpler/cleaner/more elegant/whatever. And besides, I'm guessing you could replace ℝ with T (for Turing) and most of the proofs would go just fine.

(Although the Computables have plenty of weirdness to them too...)
That's an indication of poor management. People can slack off when in the office too.
“ This is not a screed against executive wealth. After all, I paid with 25 years of my life and I got some of the wealth”

Did the rest of the employees not do that as well though? Minus the wealth bit of course.
Is there any way to add/request/suggest books that aren't currently in the index?
Well, why don’t you write your interpretation, and explain how that quote from TFA means that the email came before any layoffs.
No, it’s just weird and out of context. Just plain “pick” maybe.
They cannot do that yet but it is coming soon!

You only need to upload all your source code to Claude, and tomorrow they’ll be able to do it too. It’s magical.
I would assume they're pointing at the comment at the top of this thread ("They built / manage login.gov?") rather than the article itself.
Both public and private are means to an end. Privatization is better than nothing.

If what it takes to ensure research and public services continue, is moving them from government to states and corporations, so be it. In fact, that may be the way out of our horrible partisan divide. The right gets what they want, a shrunken government and ability to enforce their ideology in red states, except they can't control what happens in blue states. The left gets to no longer feel threatened and enforce their ideology in blue states, except they can't control what happens in in red states. What's left of the government resolves interstate disputes and maintains interstate services, though many formerly-interstate services become intrastate (e.g. USPS). The military protects everyone from foreign adversaries. The US doesn't devolve into anarchy.

I suspect that's not what either side wants, but honestly, what's the alternative? Domination, where a large section the population is miserable and angry? Anarchy, where everyone (who can't leave the US at least) suffers? AI superintelligence (I'm skeptical)? Or perhaps the majority left's and majority right's beliefs aren't fundamentally incompatible, and everything seems polarized now, but after some things start breaking and others not breaking, time passes, some people feel betrayed or upset, but the government doesn't collapse, the "average left" and "average right" will be able to respectfully debate each other again. That's what I hope, but I suspect it ends as described above (maybe once people start living in their own ideological areas, the debates are so respectful they wonder why they can't compromise and merge, but when merged they're too emotional to debate or compromise).
> stop spreading your misinformation, life in China is like the Nightmare mode of DOOM2.

You're deluded. Hyperbole doesn't help either. When you resort to lying or exaggeration, it shows China must be starting to get even, if not ahead in the race.
Where are you getting the idea that the email is related at all? For government offices were I know workers, firing is based on 100% seniority, completely independent of performance or email responses.
> I’m honestly convinced a non-profit open-source model isn’t a good fit for browser development.

You think the freedoms granted by Free and Open Source licenses are a problem? How's that?

I see little value in the 'Kagi' browser, it looks like just another WebKit distribution. It promises to be free of telemetry, but refusing to even release your source is a death-knell for a privacy-oriented browser.
This is really well put. Those who's main job is email, meetings and the occassional spreadsheet can't understand why those who do something technical must have significant time alone to work through a problem
You do realize that many of these actions have been deemed illegal by the courts, right?

> forgotten about manners

Why are you complaining about manners? Why not just say "I like that!" or "I agree with that!" and then get on with the rest of an argument? See where this is going?

This isn't your high school debate club. But just to humor you, you are engaging in "fallacy fallacy" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy
Its interesting that most of Hacker News seems to use Firefox, which is such an obscure browser at this point, with just 3% market share. Now they're fleeing to even more obscure browsers. It's noble of them to incubate the competition, for the sake of genetic diversity in the software space, as I selfishly use chromium browsers.
I’m sure this great CEO will continue to be a great leader under other management, then. We’ll see if Cuban actually follows through on his offer or if it’s just political virtue signaling.

I studied molecular biology 15 years ago. Recently I realized that I started to forget more and more about it, like how the rooms looked, names of professors, (obviously) a lot of the material I learned, etc.

But I can't forget about our professor of Genetics: he was suffering from lung cancer, so when he talked about cancer, it had a tremendous impact. He also used to be a smoker and was quite outspoken against that too.
Ah thank you; I had heard the paid ones had daily limits too so I was confused
At the same time, execs love to paint with a broad brush that everyone working from home is slacking off... while also not sharing any data about how many people are being lazy.

Either your performance management can catch lazy employees or it can't. If it can't, then that's what you should be fixing.
Because it's very contradictory to Google's current stance (we can do whatever we want with your data)
This isn't even supposed to be the prison system though, the individual had committed no crime the US had only "suspicion" that they might violate visa terms by performing tattoo artistry.
Or maybe they just don’t feel like they need to state the obvious?

I guess supporting a president that does not care about laws and is demanding the very democratic structures that allow you to vote in the first place falls under free speech. But an educated person would NEVER vote to have his rights removed. Maybe you should educate yourself instead of just angrily making accusations

I don't think that regular usage of the Git CLI is sufficient to develop an insight into Git's internal data design for most people, which is really necessary for to become proficient enough to troubleshoot. You wind up thrashing a lot and then just giving up.

So 0.4 % shy of having a majority. Your point is fair enough, but it doesn't really change the point of the argument.
I don't think so, Flash Player was extremely stable and portable, swfs ran accurately (although sometimes slowly) on all targets, Safari, IE7, Nintendo Wii, didn't matter.

Maybe wasm+Canvas is getting close to being stable. But if you code up a webgl game and test it on desktop Chrome, odds are it'll just be a black screen on anything but the most popular Android devices, and you'll need to do tons of work and testing to get it to run on an iPhone.

And WebGPU is probably at least 5 years away from being stable enough to be considered to "run everywhere".

I strongly considered trying to do this a few times, but ended up writing an swf parser in C++ and used Skia to render. It's probably the best we can do right now, but we still regularly get players who complain about just seeing a black screen.
I hope you never end up in a position of management, because it's a real shitty way to manage people.
You are being too generous to that bunch of sociopaths (not snarky, just think for a second what kind of personality gets and thrives up there for decades).

They care about their own profits, which are mostly bonus-based, and prestige. If they think they get any extra by appearing doing first and last thing that could drive up share price (or win some extra points in some meaningless internal battles), they will go for it.

They are mostly pretty bad absent parents with laser focus on themselves and their careers only, and then it shows on kids. But in their mind nobody under them should be granted more.
While your experience is interesting, I think this ideological stuff about government control is still at best only indirectly relevant to the question of why TSMC can do things Intel can't.
> extracting value

Did you mean creating wealth?

I'm not talking about land speculation. I'm talking about creating businesses and jobs for everyone. I'm talking about hard labor that's necessary for our society to run. We're not better off picking crops while China's tech economy becomes #1.
The nature of nursing is that you have to be in person. What HR did (and has been doing) is keeping the number of staff at a barebones level. They don't, for example, hire enough nurses that if one is out sick (during covid!) that there could be someone to cover the shift.

They went so far as to only hire travel nurses (temps), who were commanding 100k+ salaries, when things got bad enough rather than filling a full time position. And, to add insult to injury, the nurses themselves have been getting salaries in the 30->50k range. So HR could have literally filled 2+ positions for the cost of a single travel nurse.

That's what has lead to a nursing shortage and burnout. HR cost cutting because "we just need the minimum and no backups". It's a big part of the strikes.

Believe it or not, many nurses and doctors working in healthcare actually care about their patients. Something HR is more than willing to exploit to get them to work ridiculous hours.
Google wasn't the first search engine but they were the best marketing google = search. That's where we are with openai. Google search was a better product at the time and chatGPT 3.5 was a breakthrough the public used. Fast forward and some will say Google isn't the best search engine anymore (kagi, duckduckgo, yandex offer different experiences) but people still think of google=search. Same with chatGPT. Claude may be better for coding or gemini better are searching or Deepseek cheaper but equal but chatGPT is a verb and will live on like Intel inside long after it's actual value has declined.
> A solution is needed to help those old computers

A solution could be to put another layer on top of the internet. This could be done by means of a "presentation proxy", similar to cloud gaming, e.g. based on VNC, where only a VNC client is run on the old computer, and the browser is running on the presentation proxy.
So, women, who've been second-rate players in the workplace since practically forever, are finally seeing some empowerment and wage equality, and it's a social crisis?!

Call it an overshoot past intended targets, sure, but I'm having difficulty accepting the alarmist tone.
Your libertarian perspective is missing the individual humanity of the issue. It's not about systemic roadblocks, it's about society's values.

Our society has pushed a lot of messaging towards girls and women that encouraged academic and professional excellence. Media unabashedly points out examples of successful women. That's encouraged girls to dream and women to persevere.

As a middle-class white man, the messaging I've heard is that success shouldn't be celebrated because anyone with my level of privilege should be successful. It's not uncommon for me to feel shame from national media. I second guess myself on my masculine traits being toxic.

I'm NOT advocating to be less encouraging of women. But I think we should be more loving and encouraging of little white boys so they don't grow up to become NEETs, MAGAs, or DOGEs.

Edit - Sorry to have not answered your question.

>if women are better at getting entry level corporate jobs and education-focused career paths (doctors, lawyers), is that something we should fix?

Maybe. Action could be useful, but only a delicate touch that doesn't exacerbate overshoot in the other direction.
Ladybird is not closer than Servo from achieving anything, because the wpt tests scores are not that relevant sinc they are not weighted by any usefulness factor.

The Ladybird team are very good at marketing themselves but their technical choices are questionable. Who can think that it's a good idea to start a new web runtime in C++? They said they would switch to Swift but that doesn't seem to happen if you look at the recent commit history.
This is really cool, and very well done! Would love to see it more on a per-user basis, as I share access with my family and do not have similar tastes at all. Perhaps tied in with Overseer API and Tautulli to see what users are requesting, then actually watching?
