Sure, but not sure how that's related to whether or not the Mozilla Foundation can fund development off $37.5M per year.

Marketing and evangelism isn't free, but I find it hard to believe $37.5M per year wouldn't cover everything they need to do. At an average of $200k per employee, that's 187 people. As you point out, it's their strategy that's the problem. I'm not convinced they need more money to come up with and implement a better strategy.

(Yes, I know they pay for more than just employee salaries. Presumably they have other income apart from that $37.5M that doesn't come from Google.)
Did you filter out gas flares? Russia is a huge energy producer with lots of flaring.
I generally agree, but that's not what Mozills is arguing at all.

sorry, so the heart is still beating in the dead donor? The doctors harvesting the heart stops the donors heart from beating? I have to be missing something here. You cannot be saying that doctors stop the donors heart from beating (kill them) before taking the heart.
So it’s just a program?
I have seen this. Presumably it is done for team cohesion and it may work for a while, but as soon as someone sets the personal boundary and refuses to talk or says something generic it starts looking weird.
Well, the obvious answer is that rights, along with legislative procedures, etc, get codified in a constitution which takes a supermajority to amend. In a perfect world that constitution is approved at a constitutional convention by a supermajority of the citizenry acting through their representatives; in practice it arrives via various historical means, including outside imposition. Despite the "irreconcilable bootstrapping problem", constitutional democracies somehow exist.

But yeah yeah that's not "true democracy" because anything other than majoritarianism is a grotesque western perversion of the perfect immaculate glorious ideal of "simple majority rules on everything". Whatever.

China should not be scared. We shouldn't keep ratcheting up pressure. China should be reassured that there is no need to escalate, not scared/threatened.
I fully get that. The reason why it focuses on the subscription model is that is quite difficult to plan ahead with an irregular revenue stream. Everything is financed via bootstrapping, so I can't afford to burn through money or have irregular revenue over time when planning expenses.
Who said anything about taking the hardest line?

You could treat everyone amicably until proven otherwise.
For me it's because when I visit a store it's for a small amount of items. My main shopping is online and delivered (by Tesco) once a week. But there are always other things needed during the week. The big Tesco near me mostly has people doing their big shop at the tills so the queue will be 5 minutes plus. Scan as you shop ( as mentioned by the GP) now works well and doesn't check you each time so it's easy to do - particularly as you can use your bag as you go and don't need to repack when you check out.
It was a lot easier to build and maintain a web browser back then than it is today.
Every _BitInt(N) is a subtype of _BitInt(N+1). For practical purposes though, you'd usually make each intN a subtype of intN*2, up to some top integer type which supports arbitrary precision.

int8 <= int16 <= int32 <= int64 <= bigint

For this mini subtype hierarchy, you can literally just number the types in increasing order, and use `<=`, rather than bitmasks.

For inclusion of unsigned integers, the same rule applies, but each `unsigned _BitInt(N)` is also a subtype of `signed _BitInt(N+1)`. It might make sense to number the unsigned integers one higher than their signed variants of the same width to simplify testing for compatibility. A specific bit, such as 1000b could indicate a signed integer.

UNSIGNED = 0000b;
SIGNED = 1000b;

enum IntType {
UINT8 = UNSIGNED | 1,
UINT16 = UNSIGNED | 2,
UINT32 = UNSIGNED | 3,
UINT64 = UNSIGNED | 4,
UBIGINT = UNSIGNED | 7,

INT8 = SIGNED | 0,
INT16 = SIGNED | 1,
INT32 = SIGNED | 2,
INT64 = SIGNED | 3,
BIGINT = SIGNED | 7,
};

is_uint8_subtype(ty) = (ty | UNSIGNED) <= UINT8
is_uint16_subtype(ty) = (ty | UNSIGNED) <= UINT16
is_uint32_subtype(ty) = (ty | UNSIGNED) <= UINT32
is_uint64_subtype(ty) = (ty | UNSIGNED) <= UINT64
is_natural(ty) = (ty | UNSIGNED) <= UBIGINT

is_int8_subtype(ty) = (ty | SIGNED) <= INT8
is_int16_subtype(ty) = (ty | SIGNED) <= INT16
is_int32_subtype(ty) = (ty | SIGNED) <= INT32
is_int64_subtype(ty) = (ty | SIGNED) <= INT64
is_integer(ty) = (ty | SIGNED) <= BIGINT

This is approximately how I handle it the numerical tower in my interpreter (extended with some ad-hoc rules to also support rationals, real, complex and quaternions).
> If you think people only get upset about things for their own self interest, then I wonder what you think about social justice.

That's a gross mischaracterization of what I said. If anything, I'd be really concerned if you think what you're doing is akin to "social justice", and being hostile to others is justified in the name of "social justice".

> You have a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy in your logic.

That doesn't even make any sense.

> A novelist is successful if they reach an audience. Once they find it, if they stick with it they will be successful. If they’re lucky then they might switch up genres without alienating their existing readers. But not everyone gets away with that.

Sure, there are some people who do that and not everyone "gets away with" not sticking with what made them "successful" (what is "successful" in this context anyway and how do you measure it? Wealth? Fame? Cultural impact?).

What you said isn't wrong, but there are also plenty of counter examples to what you said. So I'm not sure what you're trying to say. That looks more like a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy.

Nobody is forcing successful novelists with an audience to continue and stick with things. Nobody is focusing unsuccessful novelists to keep going either. You make it sound like they don't have a choice so somehow everyone has to recognize and exercise "social justice" by speaking out for them.

> A software developer has one audience and they don’t get to chose it. You and I write for our coworkers. If they don’t like it we have three choices. We can leave, we can change, or we can gaslight our coworkers that our code is just fine and they are the problem.

> It’s the latter I’ve seen too much of, and even if you’re not a victim of it you’re allowed to be incensed for those who are. In fact you’re obligated to do so.

I don't disagree with any of that and I have worked with a fair share of the gastlighting kind of software engineers that you pointed out -- much too often and much too long, and they are usually very senior engineers with authority that end up literally destroying teams.

However, none of that justifies the hostility in your initial comment and that's the only point I'm trying to make. I have worked with people who are capable of writing well-structured code for others that delightful to read and maintain. If you haven't then I hope you will some day.

Anyway, at this point I'm thinking that you should just "get to the fucking point with a little bit of artistic flair", and you are probably thinking the same in reverse. Let's just leave it there.
Usually creative work and the arts are judged by their ability to move something inside of us to which you can say that crying is a proxy for that. It's effectively saying it's good art.

The technology can absolutely be better. When I worked retail over two decades ago those scanners were fast and I can scan back to back with no noticeable delay.
Judges have a role in excluding evidence which is more prejudicial than probative. In the case of a fake voice recording, hearing someone who sounds like the accused participating in a crime may prejudice the jury even if they later hear evidence that the recording is fake. (This is probably even more true for faked videos.)
> because the economy, life and everything is about humans interacting with humans.

How many hand crafted, clay bowls, baked in a human powered kiln are you using everyday? Or how many weaved baskets, made out of hand picked sticks?

History has showed that anything that can be automated, will be automated. And everything that can be made "cheaper" or "faster" will as well.
I think in this particular case, it's really hard for an immigration officer to do something nicer: she's been denied entry on either side of a land crossing due to obviously admitting to planning to or having already worked.

At an international airport, there's a large transit area where someone can dwell until they find a departing option.
>At the exit there's always a 'check' but it's pretty farcical.

Hence moving to AI

> Once you get to a checkout, hi-tech cameras above the self-checkout machines now track all items being scanned and bagged.

> After that, smart gates will lock automatically to prevent anyone with unscanned items leaving the store, sounding an alarm in the process.

Those two points are infuriatingly well rolled out in Australia since that article - if your bagging technique does not match the AI model or the color of your fruit/vegetables does not match the AI model for the thing you choose, even if the weight is correct, it requires a staff member.
If any shopper in the self checkout area has violated the AI, nobody is allowed to leave the store until the staff member does their check (it's like those automatic gates you'd see on an office building lobby).

My initial interpretation of the title was that the TS team was adding support for another, faster, target such as the .NET runtime or native executables. The title could use some editing.
Why do people (usually Americans) have this perception that we are an authoritarian hellscape on press freedom.

There have been a few silly stories where local police forces overreach to a social media post, but generally nobody could care less what we say.

The police won’t respond to serious crimes so you have no chance getting them to respond to something written.

There are hundreds of better things to pick on the UK for.
Congratulations on the milestone.

I checked their team page, repositories and bounties. It is lovely to see things so well structured around an open source product that encourages everyone to contribute, share, even get paid.

I will keep this in mind for our team calls as a brilliant reference.
But it can actually work the other way.

Tariffs in some ways coddle USA businesses in that they create incentives for Americans to prefer American goods. But USA businesses depend on foreign goods. Tariffs are a tax which increases their costs.

In the late 1800's, under McKinley, the USA tried to use tariffs to ruin Canada and annex it. One of the results was that some USA businesses moved to Canada to avoid tariffs on supplies they needed from Canada. That would have worked for businesses whose customers were not mainly in the USA, or that could expand beyond the USA.

Canada was working on increasing trade with other parts of the world, like Great Britain; businesses moving to Canada could have participated in that.
More than a decade ago, a UK or Italian colleague travelling into US for a business trip said in an entry interview they are coming in "for work". An IT person, and way before Trump himself even had an idea of becoming a president.

They were drilled for hours until finally they let them in: it required producing a lot of paperwork by the company hosting the event on top of the traveller's documentation.

Ah, now we're at the dictionary definition level. So let's check Google:

Inevitable:
as is certain to happen; unavoidably.
informal
as one would expect; predictably.
"inevitably, the phone started to ring just as we sat down"

Which interpretation of the word is "good faith" considering the rest of my post? If I said "If you drink and drive you will inevitably get into an accident" - would you argue against that statement? Would you argue with Google and say "I have sat down before and the phone didn't ring"?

It is Hacker News policy and just good internet etiquette to argue with good faith in mind. I find it hard to believe you could have read my entire post and come away with the belief of absolutism.

edit: Just to add to this, your interpretation assumes I think Django (the Python web application framework) will unavoidably be rewritten in a lower level language. And Ruby on Rails will unavoidably be rewritten. Do you believe that is what I was saying? Do you believe that I actually believe that?

That would entirely mean what you mean by "copyright reform". If you mean the typical crypto anarchist data hoarder everything should be free and open after 5 minutes sense, or anything close to it, frankly I don't support, so my answer is to route such ideas to /dev/null.

Their compatibility page calls out which car models will lose their built-in advanced safety features (such as automatic emergency braking) when using comma, and whether comma replaces the built-in adaptive cruise control. Their FAQ includes:

> Do I retain my car factory safety features with openpilot installed?

>When openpilot is enabled in settings, Lane Keep Assist (LKAS), and Automated Lane Centering (ALC) are replaced by openpilot lateral control and only function when openpilot is engaged. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) works whether engaged or disengaged.

> On certain cars, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is replaced by openpilot longitudinal control.

> openpilot preserves any other vehicle safety features, including, but are not limited to: AEB, auto high-beam, blind spot warning, and side collision warning.

The FAQs about comma's automated lane centering and adaptive cruise control also say:

> openpilot is designed to be limited in the amount of steering torque it can produce.

So comma isn't even trying to be the subsystem responsible for handling sudden surprises. It's only trying to upgrade a suitably-equipped car from SAE Level 0 or Level 1 up to Level 2.
Regulations are causing the fact that housing prices follow purchasing power of potential buyers: it causes a shortage in supply, which means supply side can dictate prices. Prices will be what buyers can afford. Just wait for the next recession, housing prices will fall, even with the same regulations.
I wonder if film photography (slide film in particular) will become viable again and that photojournalists will once again become necessary for society.

Rather than cryptography which could be difficult to grok for a non-technical jury, a physical slide of film would be the source of truth.

It can still be faked by photographing a manufactured/generated scene though.
Usually fatal within minutes. Broken ribs are survivable (on their own), and are certainly preferable when compared with the outcome of death.

Though I've noticed with the medical profession, speaking as a dumb firie, any outcome less than perfect is considered a 'complication'.

I've been under the knife a few times for various reasons, I've noticed this more and more. Slight bleeding from a closed incision site after surgery, whilst normal, is still "a complication" and a "poor outcome" despite being totally normal.

Perhaps there needs to be more nuanced language when describing these outcomes? What about "probable deviations" for things that are technically complications, but are more or less expected/normal?

Regarding the CPR training we were given: "if you're not breaking ribs, you're not pressing hard enough" (1/3rd chest depth). 'CPR' shown on TV shows and movies, 'rubber bendy arms', is woefully inadequate and I wonder how much of this is contributing to the mortality rate of cardiac events?

Fortunately a lot of AEDs these days will be able to tell you whether you're pressing hard enough with a pressure sensor embedded in some pads.

But why do you want to fit the whole dataset in memory? If the dataset is stored in a tiled and multi-scaled representation you need to only grab the part of it that is needed to fit your screen (which is a constant, small amount of data, even if the dataset is arbitrarily large).

If you insist to fit the entire thing in memory, it may seem better to do so in the plain RAM, which nowadays is of humongous size even in "modest" systems.
The first is a direct lie.

The second is only as trustworthy as Trump (i.e. not at all). What would prevent Trump from striking a deal with the russians after he "legally owns it anyway".

Third: Much is said about the Budapest Memorandum and what it isn't. But I think it very clearly says that US (and others) should not use Ukraines weakness as leverage to exploit it. Which is exactly what US is trying to do now, thereby becoming the second country to clearly violate it.
It did happen before as well: see above comment I made about my IT colleague being drilled for hours when they said they were coming in "for work" instead of "for a business trip".

If you've not passed US border control as a foreigner, you really have no idea of what a pleasant experience it... is not.
Completely serious.

I understand it's very ingrained in our culture at this point that this is a thing people do. But, if I decontextualize enough mentally, it starts to feel quite strange: manipulating one's brain into having a negative emotional reaction.

The question I have is why they they die if it doesn't work. Imagine how much faster we could progress if people didn't when an experiment failed. But how could we even accomplish such a thing? Telemetrics to catch issues early, and redundancy to hold the patient over until the issue can be found and corrected?

In this case, two separate mechanical hearts built on different principles hoping they would have different failure modes? Would it even be possible to hook that up correctly? Just brainstorming.
I think the evidence of all human progress disagrees with this statement fairly strongly.
Except when selling to your own country. But there, VAT is easy.

To expand a bit on the reverse charge procedure: It means the _buyer_ pays VAT. Which makes a lot of sense in B2B, since companies need to look into what local VAT they owe anyway. Adding the reverse charge invoices to that is easy. Not to mention that if they also sell goods or services, they'll end up paying little to no VAT anyway.
Yes. For Webservers. Not for compilers. I wrote a bunch of compilers, and Go is not a language I would choose for this.
Hyperaccurate voter profiling and predictions is a tool of oppression in democracy.

Right, that's a bit circular though. It isn't a law of nature that humans should do anything that is considered "good art".

Why do we want to synthetically manipulate our brains into an emotional reaction, especially in the case of a negative emotion?
It’s the book that started it all for me. The Hotmail story is one of my favourites.

Strange choice to use Go for the compiler instead of C# or F#.

Right, but good luck routing the 100 gig DAC cable (absolute max length 3 m, but cheaper and more reliable at 1.5 m) 12 inches horizontally, 40 U vertically and then another 12 horizontally.

Modern database engines are bandwidth bound. Moving data to and from GPUs is expensive and slow by database engine standards so any performance gain due to higher memory bandwidth is usually lost in the data transfer overhead and much lower effective I/O bandwidth.
