I have 2 LaCie Little Big Disk firewire drives. They each have a 1/2 inch diameter blue LED for hard drive activity. Needless to say I have to turn them around to face the wall otherwise I would go blind and insane.

The Engadget version of the article has more info.

"The report, led by civil rights leader Laura W. Murphy and the civil rights law firm Relman Colfax, had a number of recommendations."

When you use Apple's Sign In it flat out asks whether you want to use your real email or an anonymous one. The user is purposely says, "Hey, Apple get in the middle I don't trust these clowns."

That makes sense, but master recordings also have the concept of slave reels [1]. He probably wasn't aware of it, heck I only found out about it a few days ago

You got me there.

My Smart TV doesn't let just anyone deploy apps on it, is that an unfair monopoly? I can always buy a different TV or in this a different phone.

Xcode comes with an iOS simulator so you don't need hardware, but it would be a bad idea not to test on an actual device.

This is kind of strange considering that new jobless claims were 1.877 million and continuing claims are 21.5 million for last week. Which is a rise from the week before. There was a big dip 2 weeks ago so maybe that's it.

Anyway these job reports always get revised months later when more complete data is gathered.

Mozilla offers via their new Lockwise tool which is built-in and syncs via Firefox Accounts. Apple does this too with iCloud and Safari using keychain sync.

Actually the original Predator drone was meant strictly for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and didn't carry weapons. It was modified later to carry two Hellfire missiles. There are other far larger drones out there that were designed for carrying weapons from the get go.

Macrolides are just a family of antibiotics that includes azithromycin and a few others. Z-Pak is one.

I know Tesla has the best batteries of an EV in mass production, but that price seems really high. I found this article last year talking about VW paying <$100/kWh.

A lot of these apply to other frameworks too especially Angular, which has a very unhealthy love affair with decorators.

Remember XULRunner that was doing Electron stuff about 6-7 years before the first version came out. Mozilla has so many good ideas and such terrible execution.

This was a few years ago right when Walmart Labs was taking off so their attitude probably changed some.

In my last job we used Basecamp for project management and then we started doing work for Walmart. They flat out said if you want to use a SaaS tool then they have to sign a liability agreement in case any trade secrets were leaked. Needless to say they said no as did everyone else. Which forced us into self hosting a ton of stuff.

This rate cut is just feeding into fears.

They're probably just user agent sniffing for non-Chrome browsers. I see this plenty when using Firefox or Safari. That said I wonder if all the State and DoJ investigations about anti-competitive behavior will force Google to stop promoting their own browser on their properties.

It’s probably alright, but there is an email marketing / testing service with the same name that’s been around longer.

What about Porsche with their Turbo trim EV? Turbo, Pro, whatever are just being used to denote something better like plus and premium used to do.

Besides aren't most professional things labeled Enterprise now anyway?

Firefox 70 is suppose to have a big performance boost on Mac.

The US is getting the ID.4 which is a compact crossover about the size of the Tiguan. It should look like their Crozz concept and should be revealed in February.

The President of VW USA gave an interview recently stating the reason why we aren't getting the 3. One segment sells 60,000 cars the other sells 5 million. I think the ID.3 could sell great here and capture a lot more consumers than the typical market segment. Oh well.

I kind of wish HN wouldn't show these outages unless they're going on for multiple hours or at least hide them after they're back up. Usually by the time I see them and then check myself the site is already back up. Maybe I just need to read HN more often.

This article is US specific. The iPhone has a higher market share in the US than just about anywhere else.

There is an add-on called uMatrix for FF. I haven't tried it so I cn't tell you if it works or not.

For any other reader, the common system API that chr1 speaks of is called WASI. Mozilla's announcement of it is here:

Yes, but at the new price of $35,400

Working in America too (at least the east coast)

Probably not. Mozilla will chime in sooner or later. They had a problem with Debian distributing a modified version of Firefox and ended up forcing Debian to call it something different - Iceweasel. Everything got sorted out years later.

There's a rich history of corporations and the us government screwing over Hawaiians. The monarchy was overthrown by a group of businessmen and sugar planters after they forced Queen Liliuokalani to abdicate. Two years later it became a US territory against the wishes of the natives. Then the sugar industry help keep it a territory for 60 years because they could import cheap foreign labor.
