Edit: What makes people think Firefox has been removed?

Correct. I've been using Fennec (the custom build) ever since the team managed to get it to build, and have had zero complaints.

As far as I'm aware, that is the last upstream binary in the official F-Droid repository.

Keep in mind, anyone is free to make their own F-Droid repository using the fdroidserver software. The server supports either building apks from source, or adding binary apks (ala Firefox). There is nothing special about the repository at f-droid.org/repo other than it being preconfigured in the client. But hey, if you really wanted, you could build the client yourself with different default repositories, because that is also open source :
Yes, but a big draw of using node at all is that it's JavaScript. I write some function "templateThisString" and I can use it on both the server and the client. Now I also want to use it in my build process. If I switch to another language I have double the work.

The amount of down payment needed is determined by a lot of factors and can be as low as 5% AFAIK (not including FHA backed loans where only 3.5% is required).

Now I'm not a financial advisor, but imho putting more down is generally better because you'll pay less in financing costs.
Just as a little question, are all the ads pre-downloaded, or could someone theoretically observe which ads your browser downloaded and deduce things about your history therefrom?

> Addons are user choices, and trying to limit that choice is self defeating in free speech.

I believe you are talking about the big red boxes that mention it has "Non Free Addons". This is what is known as an "AntiFeature" in F-Droid [0]. It is not a reason to exclude a project from the main repository. Rather, it is purely a piece of metadata that is shown on the website and in the client to let people know that it is a thing.

The goal is to provide as much information as possible to users, so that they can make educated choices about which software they choose to install on their device.

> Now, if you have high self esteam, and high wealth, and they were braggarts;

That almost never happens. People who combine all this feats usually never talk about themselves, usually others do. If they DO talk about themselves then there's clearly something missing (usually self-esteem).
Just to clarified, I'm very new at this world of selling and buying companies.

This is 4x the yearly profit?

Cause a user asked if it was 4x daily profit which is absurd to me imo.

edit:

Whoa that website is awesome, too bad I'm poor but the idea is awesome. I wonder if I can sell horrible fake American chocolate lol.
I'm sure it's very clever, but the result (http://tonyday567.github.io/static/index-auto.html) didn't work for me in Chrome (but did in Firefox). I suppose the unfortunate problem with this is that delivering it with an issue like that would mean that approximately 99.99% of the web developers out there would have no idea how to fix it (the generated JS is utterly incomprehensible, of course).
The picture in the Techcrunch post is pretty clear. The browser talks with an adserver (step 5). And how could it get ads if it didn't do that, pick them from a static list compiled into the browser binary? Soon out of date and hardly interesting for advertisers.

GETs to the adserver combined with the in-browser selection algorithm leak details on the browsing history of the user (if he's got this ad he could be that kind of person and been there and there). Maybe not the worst of the spywares but about as concerning as any ad in a web page.

You're missing the point: They still would have to run the business. Meaning, not do what they set out in life to do, namely engineering. Where they are, they can pretty much just focus on the problems at hand and do research. All of the other crap is done for them.
"Hua pointed out that the South China Sea is a vital area for maritime shipping and fishing activities, but is located far from major land masses. China’s new construction will allow ships to “take shelter” from typhoons and other inclement weather, as well as providing “navigation aid, search and rescue … [and] fishery service and administration” to ships from China and its neighbors alike, Hua said." [1]

This reminds me of that argument against super-intelligence.

"Humans do not want to actively kill a snail when we walk over them to get to our destination"

China is trying to improve the stability of its trade routes which are vital to their economy. I am sure if there existed the kind of infrastructure china wanted they wouldn't go out and do this by themselves as land reclamation is very expensive in the sea.

I however agree that China could have taken a less aggressive route towards doing this. Why they haven't is an interesting question. The Chinese govt seem to really value trade relations and wouldn't be stupid to enough to risk going to war with a multitude of countries + United States.

So there is some missing piece of information that we are not being told about by either the media or government.

Also these projects help explain Obama's push for TIP.

I see no evidence that Firefox is being dropped (at this point in time).

- This page doesn't explain that it is being dropped [0,1].

- there is no signals from the F-Droid team that I can see that it is dropping firefox [e.g. on #fdroid at freenode].

- The metadata for the F-Droid build server still includes Firefox [2]

It's super possible to lose money as an Uber driver... Say you drive around in circles in a place where you don't get rides. You will burn gas and lose plenty of money and make none at all.

The problem is that these drivers fall on both sides of the questions. Another question is if Uber drivers are employees of Uber in Florida, are taxi drivers now also employees? Many of them (that do not own their own car) are ICs too.
Not so correct.

debian's Iceweasel is a little squabble about the logo not being licensed correctly. they only divert official version to add the -debianXXX when they backport security patches on the stable branch. They never removed anything. apart from branding. They even upstreamed the branding agnostic flags so they don't have to change even that!

FDroid's fork is now a move against binary blobs. And copious tracking. They are taking back firefox (pun intended). From the announce: "It removes the proprietary binaries out of the official builds." [emphasis mine]

There was already discussion on the community when mozilla decided to make the, then optional by effort of contributors, google play api on the android build... just so a really small portion of users could share youtube videos to chrome cast (like anyone uses firefox to watch videos they care so much they want to see on the TV...). Everyone reaching the IRC on how to build without the proprietary google dependency was ignored. But some soldiered on. There was even a PaleMoon build on the play store just for that! (palemoon were mostly to avoid the new australis UI, which breaks lots of OS usability/accessibility features just to copy chrome).

Now, on top of the google play api (which now is not just for chrome cast, but also for tracking. ha! didn't see that coming did you?) they added adobe DRM, which will probably reach android soon.

I sure do hope that incite the rest of the community as it incites me. I've been running fennec build laboriously myself on my phones for a while. And i hope i now have the time to stop that nonsense and contribute to fdroid's effort somehow. Even if just by bitching... err promoting on forums.
TRICKS CRIMINALS USE TO CARJACK AND ROB
It is incredible. The reason they could kill so many is that they were at it for several hundred years and attacked different regions. So the population had some time to replenish before the next series of genocides started. Individual campaigns had death tolls in the 10-50 million range. There were 6 major campaigns. Several had multiple decades of genocide.

And of course, death tolls are a guessing game, as are population figures. So yes there are legitimate arguments about these figures.

Sorry, Sheldon, I missed that.
below 20% you usually need mortgage insurance (PMI) in the US.

PMI is usually not too expensive with 10% down - for example when I bought a house with 10% down, the PMI was 1% of the loan value up front. When you consider the time it would take a family to double their down payment savings, it can make sense in high cost markets.

You can go as low as 5% down, but the mortgage insurance gets a lot more expensive.

The general guidance is still 20%, though, because you're less likely to go underwater, and it shows you're committed to the idea, the area, etc.
ESLint for Better Productivity and Higher Accuracy
Uber drivers buy a car, pay for insurance, gas, etc, and certainly run the risk of losing money. They also have total control over their time and work. They can switch on or switch off anytime they like, and choose whether to accept each ride request.

There are lots of reasons to criticize uber. Classifying the drivers as contractors isn't a reasonable one.
it is not about addons. who said anything about addons?

you still can install ALL the same addons on fennec as you can on official firefox.

can you people, please, stop talking before reading anything official? the very own page for the new build warn about unsafe addons! https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=firefox&fdid...

Removed: Updater [tracking]

Why so little? It contrasts sharply with the valuations at which the startups (or even established companies, which no longer grow like crazy) are invested into at.

Yes, the book's Objective-C code is comprehensive enough for newcommer to understand. And one should know it to know how to extend the framework itself.
Anything under 20% generally requires mortgage insurance, which gets added into your monthly payment. It's a trade off of larger monthly payments for a smaller downpayment.
Building a recommender system on a shoestring budget
It's pretty obvious to anyone who does the numbers that there is more at play in bay area real estate than just tech salaries.

A mortgage payment on a SFH with a reasonable commute to the big tech companies (i.e. anywhere on the peninsula) is pretty much out of reach for a household with an income below $200-$250k, or without a huge down payment.

That's an incredibly high household income and basically requires both partners to be working in high income fields - or one partner that is incredibly successful - so overall a small portion of the population.

Foreign investment is driving up real estate prices, which is driving up rents by keeping those who would otherwise buy in rentals. Tech salaries are a factor at play, but they aren't the only one.
Probably a good idea to see if the performance issues are real, though. Modular arithmetic is really expensive; to do the two exponentiations used in (non elliptic) 2048 bit DH, you'll be needing 6 million cycles on an Intel chip at an absolute minimum. That's 5 milliseconds in wall time (at a mobile standard 1.2GHz)).

Imagine that you've got to load code from 8 different domains for a website. Then your CPU is working flat out for 40ms. Probably more like 50ms on ARM.

That's a lot of time.

Don't try to discredit those with perf concerns when the operation they're complaining about is incredibly expensive; they have genuine concerns.

"Self-Promoters Tend to Misjudge How Annoying They Are to Others"

Worlds most ironic title.
A random thought: Perhaps excellent implementations explicitly limit themselves to a specific key size, like 1024 bits, because then the implementation can ensure constant-time computations. We know that there are exotic timing attacks, and these would be more difficult to thwart if we have to use general implementations to cope with arbitrary length keys.

Is that a reasonable argument for the inertia over key sizes?

That would negatively effect the encapsulation benefits of inheritance: we could never safely access private fields on any value other than "this." Try implementing binary methods without that!

Inheritance should evolve...there is plenty that can be done with it (e.g. mixin-style inheritance, dynamic inheritance, family inheritance). At the very least, we should have that conversation on how to address inheritance criticisms.

The issue arises when the buyers don't understand the risks involved with these securities.

In the last real estate crash, investors didn't understand they were buying mortgages made to people who had no business owning a house as expensive as they did.

We don't know what assumptions have been made about these rent checks (aside from a couple off-hand figures such as the 95% occupancy quote), so we don't know whether or not the buyers understand the risks.

As the article states - "You kind of just hope they know what they're doing"

They seem to have began overhauling Scratch's visual design in Snap (background is flatter, more muted, but the blocks stay the same). I like it, and hope they can eventually get around to redoing the block visual design as well (right now, the mix of the two designs is a bit jarring).
Kafka in the long run is probably a better choice, we went with Rabbit as our core developers were pretty familiar with it and we had several libraries that were ready to go. That said Rabbit is providing more then enough throughput right now and once we're bigger enough for rabbit to be our bottleneck/problem area that will be a lovely problem to have :)
Maybe these new financial products end up being mutually beneficial for them and society at large as well and maybe the economy gets hurt and the practice if forbidden by law.

But this doesn't seem right. They win either way. They always make a buck, whether their new financial products are eventually banned or not. Meanwhile the economy suffers at least half the time and nobody is compensated for this risk that is imposed on them. If fact the rest of us get burdened cleaning the mess up.

It's akin to letting some cocky hacking superstar mess up with the production server. If he doesn't fuck up, he gets all the praise. If he fucks up because well, you shouldn't push things straight from mind to production, the rest of the developers, are tasked with putting in restrictions in production to forbid whatever the guy did, and the guy get's let off easily.

Maybe Wall St. should be told to run things on the test server for a while before potentially fucking up the rest of the economy.

Here's a particularly famous example of an effective use of blocking in a fighting game tournament: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA5RlZoHDds

Some quick play by play explanation. This is the final round of the match which is currently tied, whoever wins the round wins the match. The 1st player (Daigo, using the character "Ken") has almost no health left as the round is nearing the end (less than 30 seconds remaining). The 2nd player (Justin Wong, playing "Chun-Li") then initiates a powerful combo sequence which should be a guaranteed game winner, but Daigo blocks every single one of the dozen plus hits perfectly then retaliates with a game wining comeback.
