There's a chance that reddit is simply not a viable business, and just because you amass a large audience doesn't mean it's monetizable.

Cut through all the drama, and maybe it's really about that. A weak, messy platform, with no focus, and no possibility of getting.

Ah yes it is reasonable that several other characteristics make the sensor less likely to register photons from the field of view here.

I don't find it reasonable that there are no stars in that field of view though :)

Not necessarily. Here is a list of the largest employers in the Bay area: http://sfced.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/LargestEmployers.... The top 5 are healthcare, education, or government.

Well now I guess I have to do the math:

W = P(b)V(b) ln(P(a)/P(b))

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_energy_storage)

CPAP requires roughly 10 cm of water pressure = 0.01 Bar
Sea level atmospheric pressure is roughly 1 bar
So the device has to pressurize to 1.01 Bar
Now I’ve looked it up, and a typical CPAP machine moves 20 to 60 liters per minute
Let’s say 30 liters per minute = 1800 liters per hour

W = (1.007)(1.8)ln(1/1.007) = (1.81)*(-00698) = 0.0127 MJ = 3.53 Watt Hour

So assuming perfect efficiency you would still need 28.64 watt hours of battery, just to do the compression.

470 Wh/kg for Zinc-air battery implies this device requires a 60gm battery (2 oz to those of us of a certain age)

I looked up CPU fan efficiency (what they say they derived it from) and PEAK fan efficiency only approaches 25%

http://www.nmbtc.com/fans/white-papers/fan_efficiency_import...

So, you’d really need an 8 oz battery hanging from your nose to make this work, not counting what you need to run the electronics, etc.

Someone tell that to the battery in my Nokia 6230i from 2007, cause it's been used daily and it doesn't seem to mind :)

Seriously, though, what makes you think that a 2-3 year battery is at or near EOL? Battery life depends on a lot of factors and even then it should lose capacity not swell and explode.

Please note that you may end up with an "View Pocket List" entry in the bookmarks menu when you disable Pocket this way.

If you want to get rid of the bookmarks menu entry as well, you need to handle things slightly different.

1) Make sure Pocket is enabled in Firefox (browser.pocket.enabled is set to true). The icon should show up in the main Firefox toolbar.

2) Click on the Hamburger menu icon and select customize from the options.

3) Drag and drop the Pocket icon away from the toolbar so that it is not visible anymore.

4) This hides the bookmarks menu entry as well.

Why Transparency Is More Urgent Than Ever

Just about everyone thought there were WMDs. The decision had been made, yes, but because we thought there were hidden caches and moving caches that the weapons inspectors were ill-equipped to find, and Saddam was comfortable with everyone (Iran especially) believing that.

(I mean, people are still digging up 1980s-era WMDs in Iraq. They're pretty easy to hide, they're not large. It wasn't an insane thing to believe.)

Saddam just made a bad bet when he thought we would go back to inspections the last time, he had played his little good guy/bad guy game too long.

And in the end, good riddance, we should have taken him out WMDs or not -- the problem wasn't an invasion in Iraq, but a poorly planned invasion in Iraq.

Flexibility of choosing the type & the time of work seems like a win, in the gig (freelance) economy. However commoditization of such jobs could force the income down for many. This may result in the increase in the number of hours people work and that could result in health issues. With no health insurance & other benefits, overall quality of life could decrease for many. However Gig economy is here to stay.

In these conditions how can workers, government & businesses collaborate to provide better working conditions for those involved?

The ones raised in Pakistan (in general) enjoyed going back more often to visit family/friends who were still in Pakistan and didn't have too much to say about the governance of the country.

Also, I definitely want to reiterate that both groups were happy to have been raised outside of Afghanistan because they probably would've been persecuted/killed under the Taliban as the majority of them belonged to an ethnic minority group, the Hazara. The Hazara have more Asian blood than the Pashtun (majority group, typically what you would think of as "Afghan") -- I recommend that you do a quick google image search, you might be surprised at what some Afghans look like. I think I worked with mostly Iran-raised Hazara because the wealthier families fled to Iran and the children received a better education there than those who went to Pakistan, allowing them to get a relatively good job at this telecom.

As the US/EU troops have closed down bases and have all but exited the country, many Hazara are looking to leave again due to the increasing prevalence of the Taliban.

> But IPv6 already causes you to lose the same amount of privacy as exposing your IPv4 address behind a NAT, so it seems somewhat of a lost cause.

Extremely few people have active IPv6, it seems unlikely to catch on now. In addition to that, IPv6 privacy extensions may allow a solution to this problem for many users, but if their link local IPs are also published that may lead to further trouble, depending on configuration. Remember though, this leaks all interface IPs, I have many virtual machines installed with their own network adapters added to my system, VPN adapters, etc which also leaks data as all of those adapters will have v6LL IPs on them even if they're not in use.

Additionally, this issue is already actively being used for fingerprinting. Not some exploit of tomorrow. There was a New York Times advertiser caught doing it a few days ago.

> I still think WebRTC enabling peer to peer connections is better than running all of your data through a third party server.

Yeah, which is why I encourage disabling it completely. Until either they fix the privacy issues or the value of using some WebRTC application appears to trump them to you.
> No. Long before Yishan's post, Ohanian posted on Reddit saying he both owned the reorg of AMAs and flubbed the transition with Victoria Taylor. It's not speculation.

That doesn't dispute the fact that Ellen was CEO and Ohanian's boss. He might have been responsible for the reorg, but as CEO, Ellen was ultimately responsible. Unless you think the CEO had no power.

I love this concept, and it is sorely needed. I read in your Medium post[1] that “Data is wiped from the phone as soon as it’s securely moved to the Witness servers.” I'm curious what the reasoning for this is. Of course, I get that the data is streamed/copied to Witness in the event that the device is destroyed or confiscated, but it's hard for me to think of a use case where having a local version on the device would would do any harm.

In fact, I think it would be valuable for evidentiary purposes to have the original on the device. I'm assuming that the streamed/copied version is probably lossy in some regard, while the local version might be higher resolution or frame rate, also.

Interesting idea. My only bone to pick with solutions is that I think it actually puts a limit on creativity. When you have a completely open ended problem I think it sparks a different mechanism in your brain than when you see a solution presented for you. Another thought I had was to maybe do less problems per week, but really break down what's going on in each problem and viewing the problem from multiple perspectives. Curious what your thoughts are on that?
Great work! I've heard of this for Uber in India, but always thought that a standalone version would be a great idea. Genius all around.
no more room for big corporations to avoid taxes and money laundry from illegal activity, no more splitting of companies into subdivisions so that a small mailbox on some island makes billions while the rest is officially broke.

That is sadly wishful thinking.

I have a Moto G mark 2 (4G capable) as well, cost ~GBP100 and I agree, the bang per buck is high on this model. Previously I had a HTC Desire I bought in 2010 which eventually fell apart in 2014. I chucked it into my "man drawer" [0] and forgot about it. Then luckily one day I had occasion to dig it out to grab some files off of it. I was somewhat alarmed to discover that its battery had "bloated", it now lives outside until I get around to disposing of correctly.

Yea, for sure.

Mine can do all that, but I actually have it all turned off...I find I have a much easier time getting and staying comfortable that way...every time the pressure changes my mask would shift...at a constant pressure I can get it "just right" and it doesn't leak at all and I find it easier to fall asleep as the pressure points don't shift around.

This is a really interesting idea. iBeacon is way too inflexible in what you can encode in it.

I really dislike the decision to make it part of the Play API (as opposed to standard Android), as it ends up not being really open after all.

I wish they would also document their packet format. At least they write that they support parallel operation as Eddystone + iBeacon [1], which means that they probably use the BLE "advertisement" frame for the iBeacon and the BLE "scan response" for the Eddystone data. With both frames limited to 29 bytes, there is not much space to toy around.

As much as I'd like to see this, Mozilla doesn't have the necessary clout to do this when other browsers are adopting it.
I take as your premise "in IPv6, addresses are essentially free, and every end-system gets an unbounded number of them, so why not use them for service mapping?"

It's a fun question, but I think it has a straightforward answer.

1. The IPv6 header is already twice as big as the IPv4 header, so the win in shrinking the TCP or UDP headers is extremely marginal.

2. No, the kernel IP handling code would get more complicated; since BSD Unix, the PCB code in the kernel has assumed sessions were organized by port numbers. Meanwhile: the underlying concept of a numeric mapping between applications and instances of protocols on the wire wouldn't go away; you'd just be overloading IP addresses to accomplish it.

3. I agree that the opportunity to encode funny service names in hexadecimal trailing address space is an upside to eliminating ports.

4. Removing ports strictly simplifies network reconnaissance. IPv6 already makes scanning painful, whether or not you have TCP/UDP ports. With IPv6 and TCP ports, you have to do both: identify the live hosts, and then identify the listening ports on that host.

Some architectural downsides:

1. It is often (not always) helpful to distinguish between an entity providing a service and the services they provide. That distinction is lost when everything is an address.

2. Port numbers prevent us from accidentally trying to speak, say, RTP to a line-printer protocol server. Badly coded servers will often crash given random crap, and while that's not dispositive (the priority should be "eliminate badly coded servers), it's a helpful feature of having ports.

3. The network is required to be aware of which end-systems own which addresses. They are not required to be aware of which applications are running on which end-systems. The end-to-end argument says: put the minimum amount of state in the network, leave as much up to the end system as possible.
Echoing the other sub-thread, see this lowRISC summary from the introduction of the workshop:

State of the RISC-V Nation: many companies ‘kicking the tires’. If you were thinking of designing your own RISC ISA for project, then use RISC-V. If you need a complete working support core today then pay $M for an industry core.

If you need it in 6 months, then consider spending that $M on RISC-V development.

So this got me thinking... is there a way to forecast our space-travel capacity into the far future?

Could we conceivably create a formula that takes into account all of humanity's previous milestones of technological breakthrough's and the distances they have achieved for us.. and project where we could be 100, 500, 1000 yrs from now?

Perhaps there is a vague velocity pattern we can derive from a plethora of historic data?

Oh please don't remove pocket, this is one of the awesome feature of Firefox along with Tree Style Tab (and if it was just me I would add Tree Style Tab by default as well)

that is a very important issue that is very common with everything software related.... hopefully someone will keep porting them to newer technologies.. but more then likely lots of stuff will be lost forever... even backups can suffer from this in the long run, but maybe the physical media would become defective first..
It is definitely convenient -- in fact, using one system exclusively almost always provides the best user experience. (Apple has had great success with that idea.) Having Pocket bundled with eBook readers and browsers is convenient, but that doesn't fit the idea of an open web, which is what Mozilla is supposed to be supporting. I understand when Kobo does it, but Mozilla is supposed to operate under a different set of principles.
