If by recommended you mean "featured" flag on Chrome webstore then I believe that happens automatically if the extension satisfies their "best practices" criteria.

Mozilla's review process is much more strict than Chrome's: they required me to produce original source code for all libraries that I am using (like jquery), forced me to get rid of some leftover eval's in javascript, etc. I don't think they read all source code, but they definitely look for some patterns.

That's exactly why it is a desirable target for would-be malware distributors.

It would require collecting this data in the first place. Since it's not related to the primary functionality of the extension, it would require me to declare it in the privacy policy and extension stores. Probably needs additional access permissions as well. It's much easier to just not collect anything at all.

If cash offers scale linearly with the number of users, then yours would be pretty tempting indeed. Respect for not selling out! Would you like to start publishing these offers, like what I'm doing?

Thank you for the kind words. I actually publish hoverzoom+ to Firefox and Edge as well (links are in the repo's readme) so you can use it there too.

It wouldn't be a long-term income anyways. Most likely Google would block the extension within weeks. So it's more like $20k total, not per month.

Maintainer here. My extension is pretty much unmonetizable so any offer I receive would require some degree of a moral sacrifice. The least intrusive offer I've seen so far is to put a reciprocal link to somebody else's extension inside of mine, kind of like DarkReader is doing on their website. Even though it won't compromise any of my users data, the reason I'm not doing this is because it indirectly endorses that other extension and I don't control what they do with their users data.

Well, Imagus also exists for Сhrome. And I do publish hoverzoom+ for Firefox and Edge as well.

As a maintainer of a semi-popular chrome extension[1], I receive so many buy-out offers that I started publicly collecting them[2] for everyone to see.

It's even worse than that. The simple prompt "Compute 1 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 5" returns 36.

2151 according to Bitwarden. That's what 25 years of actively using internet does to you :)

If I understand correctly, pgAnn is using a standard "cube" extension: https://github.com/netrasys/pgANN#setup

Location: Bay Area

Remote: Yes, very much preferred

Willing to relocate: Probably not, but let's talk

Technologies: Java, C#, Python, Scala, Kafka, Samza, various databases, Redis, Docker, etc

Principal/Architect Software Engineer (Google's L7 scale) with 20+ years of experience. Experience in building high performance, high reliability, distributed services. Can work with non-technical stakeholders, translating vague business requirements into concrete technical roadmaps. Technical leadership and mentorship of junior engineers and tech leads. Strong emphasis on customer value, engineering excellence, efficient processes and iterative improvements. I believe that leading by example is a very efficient way of raising the bar in engineering.

I'm looking for companies with strong engineering culture, where I would have opportunity to learn myself and to help uplevel other engineers. I love working on challenging problems that don't have a simple obvious solution, that would benefit from my experience of working in diverse companies and technologies.

I asked Bing Chat the same question and the response was much better:

> As of today, the human population of Mars stands at zero. There are no humans living on the surface of Mars, only rovers and landers. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System. It has a very thin atmosphere and a cold and dry climate. Mars is governed by the Martian Congressional Republic in the fictional universe of The Expanse, but not in reality. Some websites may give false or misleading information about the population of Mars, such as 4.8 billion or 2.5 billion people, but these are not based on any scientific evidence or credible sources.

HN guidelines require to submit the original source which in this case happens to be Twitter.

To be fair, this isn't the first time this happens to Tesla either: https://twitter.com/JasonTuatara/status/1254498497170149382

Adding a context to help appreciate this joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM

I lost respect for Valve after they discovered cash cows that are Dota and CS:GO skins, hired economists to hyper-optimize milking their customer base and subsequently abandoned making good single-player games like they used to. Their greed culminated in an "Artifact" which flopped hard in large part due to its monetization model.

Grim Dawn is an excellent modern take on D2 formula. Single player, no MMORPG nonsense, no microtransactions.

> TCI, who do not actually run the business, are threatening the CEO (addressed to Sundar) that they will move their money if Google doesn't do what they say - namely cut costs etc...

What does "move their money" technically mean in this situation? Google is not a bank, they don't keep TCI's money. Is this a threat of tanking the stock price by selling all $6B at once? TCI would hurt themselves too if they do that.

Only if you double your bet every time you lose. Otherwise it's called a dollar cost averaging.

If the new link color brought in 0.1% increased engagement and $5M increased revenue then that engineer's salary is more than justified.

And how exactly the taxes are being dodged? All those millions in RSUs are still taxed as an ordinary income when they vest.

I've been a Fidelity customer for 15+ years. Amazing customer service - very easy to reach humans and they were all experts at solving whatever problem I called them with.

Didn't know you already inflation-adjusted your numbers. So I looked up the prices, mortgage rates and CPI in 2001 and 2022. I think your math is correct.

You need to account for inflation. Dollar value in 2001 and 2022 is not the same. CPI today is ~295 vs ~175 in 2001, so while nominally today's monthly payment is higher, it is not higher in terms of its purchasing power.

> This is by far the most popular and active right now: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

While technically the most popular, I wouldn't call it "by far". This one is a very close second (500 vs 580 forks): https://github.com/sd-webui/stable-diffusion-webui/tree/dev

It's a different development model now. They've long passed the single payment kickstarter-style model and are monetizing existing players. For comparison, Clash of Clans gets over a billion/year revenue [1] but nobody calls it "funding" despite that money being used for further development of the game.
