For what it's worth, Waterfox has issues with the mozilla addon store at the moment. I was planning on Firefox Sync'ing everything over to my waterfox install, then deleting my account, but it's unable to install and reconfigure my shitload of plugins I'm using.
My theory is that it's hard to create a usable tool in general and even harder if the domain is complex. Interactive animations are pretty complex.
I do hope that any FF replacement can run uBo. Well, ideally the best situation is FF changes course by putting the users in control, but I don't see that happening.

I don't think you get any really benefits over duckdb unless your data is 10tb+ or you spin up 3FS (which seem challenging).
> The U.S. still has competition from Europe and China, no?

Not militarily, at least not the way the Soviets were competition.

If the US really is on the Roman path and transitioning from the republic to the empire, it's not clear Europe + China have enough force to keep MAD in place.

Europe + China have between 500-750 nuclear weapons usable on short notice. Depending on how well classified US missile defense programs work, it's possible for the US to only lose a single digit number of metropolitan areas.

Combine this with the fact that large, dense urban areas primarily contain the current administration's political opponents, and that may become acceptable losses.

A potential alliance between the US and Russia being on the table (or at least a non-aggression pact) further bring a non-MAD world order into the range of possibilities.
This is nonsense: firefox was and remains a better browser than chrome just in terms of usability. If you ever believed that a browser maker cared about "privacy" I have a bridge to sell you.

> If Mozilla would have solely focused on Firefox and Thunderbird we could be in a better place right now.

I have no idea what the motivations of Mozilla are, but it is important to remember that many players in the industry faded away simply because the industry changes fast and those players failed to anticipate those changes. It is entirely possible that Mozilla was trying to anticipate those changes and ended up making a string of very bad bets.
Funny that the future Cyberpunk 2077 envisions is IMHO optimistic about AI. Unlike ours, in that world AI has already presented itself as a threat, and worst of them were somewhat successfully contained behind Blackwall. Perhaps because of that and NetWatch, there isn't a strong positive outlook on AI as we have, neither from corporations nor from most people. There are some AI and robots, but they are more specialized and many jobs still require humans, so those who aren't already rich are still to a degree needed. It's a dystopia in many ways, but AI isn't one of them.

None of that has been tested yet in the real world of course. Perhaps we'll manage to build a world that makes Cyberpunk look better. :)
You can also just ask him if it's OK to do that and they're probably going to be OK with it.

Privacy and not being harassed and free speech are of course exactly where the rubber meets the road.

One can always come up with examples where favoring free speech will lead to really bad outcomes for someone and vice versa.

I submitted this post and can guarantee that it was not my intention to associate this technical issue with DOGE. Quite the opposite: both in this thread and on Bluesky (where a lot of people blame DOGE for 'shutting down PubMed'), I have advocated for Hanlon's razor.
My aim was to document that this was just a DNS problem, and to suggest a workaround to affected people.

I actually find it a little bit sad that the DOGE angle is so prominent in this thread.

CSS for styling is straight forward (which makes sense since ‘CSS’ is cascading ‘styling’ sheets)

CSS for layout takes sometime getting use too.

For me, the benefit of any css framework is not in prepackaged styles - it’s in simplifying layout for desktop/tablet/phone.

Right now the theory of network states has a built in "Agree or Leave" policy, which I expect if network states actually come from this pitiful Butterfly Revolution will devolve into "Agree or Die." And the 20th century taught us that these sorts of glorious revolutions keep going until the policy is "Agree and Die!" through famines, resource depletion, and counter revolutions

The billionaires somehow think their current wealth protects them from a hungry mob. I really don't understand tbe reasoning.

Further, they still focus on a geographically based monarchy, which is stupid when you could have a federal platform handle the geography issues and evolve the nonessential services to subscriptions provided by any sort of group: multinational, union, church, local community, legacy geographic states and cities, etc.

The focus of any movement from status quo must be in terms of improvement of lives and capacity to handle global challenges, like global warming, space mining and settlement, etc.

That sounds like the Brave Rewards system that's opt-in afaik. It's a grift, but so far one that at least provides a decent user experience while being somewhere in the ballpark of just as bad as Firefox could be extrapolated to become in the near future.

Firefox's sponsored startpage blocks and search suggestions are opt-out features. If you don't trust an opt-in system, you should trust an opt-out one even less.

That, and they tend to not let things like copyrights and patents stand in the way of innovation. It’s hard to imagine how much better off consumers, and how many more advancements in technology there would be, if we had reasonable time limits on copyrights and patents. Instead, we have things like “I drew a mouse and now you can’t for the next 100 years” and “I was the first person to change this equation slightly, so you can’t compress video like this for the next 20 years.”

It's a philosophical argument. There's a great Radiolab about this (if you can tolerate their banter). Man is acting weird and offensive. People treat him as you'd expect. Then it is discovered that he has a tumor that is causing his behavior. Now he receives sympathy and treatment.

The point being that we all have different brain configurations which cause our behavior. Some we call tumors. Others are "normal". Your definition of "medical needs" is where the interesting meta-discussion takes place.

As a counterpoint to the parent commenter, I like using Rust for personal stuff (like the project being linked to) for almost everything besides the memory model; I prefer Cargo to any other build tool I've used, and I like how I can eliminate boilerplate with stuff like Serde (for serialization), clap (for argument parsing), and even for how I'm able to write one-off macros to generate code for myself. The documentation for the language and tooling is great, and most packages have fairly good documentatio as well because any package published on crates.io will have it generated from the doc comments into a static site and hosted on docs.rs. The compiler error messages are better than any other language I've used, and at least for my personal use on Linux, I can easily compile with musl and get a fully static binary when libc is my only native dependency; I'm sure that Linux desktops are part of the "not many of those around" you refer to, but the same trick would work just as easily for any Linux server, and I do feel like there are plenty of those around!

If I could get all of those quality of life things in a language with a garbage collector, I'd probably use that for most things instead. Right now though, the closest options would be maybe OCaml or Swift, one of which doesn't really give me nearly as much in terms of quality of life stuff around documentation and tooling, and the other isn't nearly as streamlined to use on my platform of choice as I'd like, so I'm using Rust unless (or until!) something better for my personal projects comes along.
use said data to improve Firefox the browser, that would be argued that is a valuable consideration.

Nice try but no.

A "sale" is a transaction between two legally distinct parties. Mozilla does not "sell" your data to itself and it does not "sell" your data to the public or to other users of Firefox either.

If Mozilla is concerned about the legal definition of "sell", there must be some other party involved. Wonder who that could be?

Because in the US wealth and consumption are considered two sides of the same coin.
Wealthy but not conspicuously consuming?
You're not keeping up with the Joneses.
Conspicuously consuming but poor (thanks, easy credit)?
You'll be mistaken as having more money than you do.

The two sides often come together in the upper-middle classes,
where people with more-than-comfortable incomes and financial resources will grossly overextend themselves on credit appear more well off than they already are.
The burden of proof is on the argument that they _are_ reasoning, and I have seen very little evidence that they do.

It's also immediately clear to me when I look at the architecture of transformers that reasoning is not in the cards. I could be convinced otherwise if, again, someone showed me an indication of reasoning behavior. Since there is no such evidence and the systems theory approach tells me it does not reasonably reason, I have a pretty darn good reason not to believe it's reasoning.

Sounds like a big security risk, any page’s content is fair game to be sent to Google. Humans can look at these too.

The kicker is it sounds like the model is run locally, they are only phoning home “to improve history search”:

>but I am using the term "China" in keeping with how most people in both Taiwan* and the rest of China normally use it.

Vast majority of people in Taiwan don't call Taiwan "China". Yes the official name is "The Republic of China" but that is rarely even used other than extreme formal settings. And even when they do use the official name, the term "China" is very rarely used apart from Pro-Bejing Camp but "Republic of China".

In "normal" day to day usage it is simply known as Taiwan. Even Chinese people calls it Taiwan.

Muddling the word when even natives don't use it is simply causing unnecessary confusion for the sake of either political correctness or blatant trolling.
An idiot inflicts violence directly. A smart sadist tells others to do it with a convincing rationale. Hitler and Mao and Pol Pot probably never killed anyone.

It’s sort of like the saying: if an idiot wants to rob a bank he gets a gun and a ski mask. If a smart person wants to rob a bank they get a banking license.

As for the test: there is no authority. It’s implied by reality and by game theory.
Yeah, no. Knee jerk both sides are the same was how republican actions and goals get euphemism away while democrats faults are exaggerated.

I respect what they do, but it's a bunch of patches and scripts on top of Firefox, maybe less demanding that the real deal. Also:

> no donations means no expectations

Which is very healthy way to take care of a personal project. And if Firefox ever closes, all the forks will have to close at the same time anyway.
russia does not need to be a strategic threat. They destroyed USA from within instead of fighting it head-on, fair and square.
It's a fairly clunky idiom and there's no reason to use it if you prefer more explicit code.

I can see the attraction for terse solutions, but even the name is questionable. ("Comprehension?" Of what? It's not comprehending anything. It's a filter/processor.)
Russia is only incentivized to accelerate their cyber operations against the US. It's clear their manipulation of the narrative to their benefit is working in winning over the right wing of America and sowing discontent in some Americans against Ukraine. Why would they stop when they're succeeding?
This resonates with me.

Grew up in a very small house with two lower middle class parents. Frugal upbringing.

My wife and I out earn my parents by more than 10x. And so we can afford to do some things that I couldn’t as a kid like “ski weekend in Park City”

I’ve jealously looked around many times and frustrated myself with comparisons to wealthier people. They can do X and I can’t.

But as I’m getting older and raising kids, I’m continually reassessing the value of these high cost adventures. Am I happier, healthier, more refreshed, etc or is it instead my access to high-cost that fools me into feeling those ways?

I see the path forward similar to you. I’d like to help my kids however I can while not giving them a financial ticket for life. Want to do things that fulfill us without feeling too extravagant or costly.

I will write this for posterity just that the general sentiment does not go unnoticed. It's hard to keep defending the company I convinced most of my undecided-but-tech-savvy friends to switch to after the Manifest API debacle. Mozilla has, in my eyes, become an advertising-adjacent company. Data collection for advertising is just as indefensible as working on face recognition for kamikaze drones. Mozilla has acquired my patronage through perceived support for these values, and this step back has prompted me to cancel my existing and future subscriptions to Mozilla services I use.

I think you miss the point.

Having 25 developers trying to manage a CSS stylesheet together while naming classes does not scale.

Having 25 developers not worry so much about stepping on other people’s toes with Tailwind scales better.

I knew you'd say that,
so I already have my answer: you're substituting your own definition of 50% for the articles definition: consumer spending.

I'd say you're moving the goalposts but trying to change "amount spent as an economic measure" to "caloric content" is more like looking at a football field and asking where home plate is.
Make Your Postgres Database 100x Faster and 50% Cheaper
How so? The two are basically indistinguishable to me in terms of UI, their layouts are almost entirely identical. If anything I think Firefox has become more like Chrome over time.

Don't really disagree otherwise though.
> They [are] doing less than their fair share.

This wording makes it sound like consumer goods and services are the moral things to spend money on and wealthier individuals are slacking. This is silly.

There are many good things other than consumer spending that wealthy people can and do spend their money on: capital investments for new or growing businesses, philanthropy, research, etc. etc. etc.

In fact it would probably be better if wealthy people spent less money on consumer (luxury) goods and services and more on these other things—if they were, in your words, even farther from “their fair share.”

Ask HN: What does "Used by engineers at [Company]" for OSS mean? Stars/emails?
I've got a popular Github project, and want to start putting some "social proof" on the README. But since it's open source and we don't have a login, I don't know definitely who is using it for what (by design, and I'd like to keep it that way).

What I do have:

- Lots of Github stars from engineers at top companies (Apple, Disney, etc).
- People who subscribed to our mailing list with corporate emails

Is this the type of content people use to build out those lists? Is there a better phrasing of the title that implies it comes from sources like this (vs contracts which is what I expect for a SaaS company)? Any other gotchas I should be aware of?
