He didn't mean that literally. It's a tongue in cheek way of saying "when you're a 23 year old and you think you've mastered the markets, you don't think about wealth preservation."

"When you have mastered the market at 23 years old, and you're up 6000% in less than a year, you don't think about wealth preservation."
Donations go to the Mozilla foundation which does "internet advocacy". Donations do not go towards Firefox development, not towards the CEO's salary or Firefox engineers' salary.
On macOS, the PDF reader Preview.app runs sandboxed by default.
The Preview.app sandbox is not quite as secure as what is used by browsers such as Firefox or Chrome on macOS for web content, so there is probably still a benefit to viewing PDFs in the browser, depending on whether the browser or PDF viewer is more hardened against these attacks.
I don't think you mentioned that the student doesn't have to pay back Lambda after 60 months of deferred payments. That seems important. From the Lambda site:
"The income share agreement has no interest. It's a flat percentage that goes away once you've reached the $30k payment cap, you've made 24 payments, or after 60 months of deferred payments (even if you haven't paid us anything)."
But you wrote in the article:
"Students with no safety nets experience real financial pain from the nine-month hiatus from work, in addition to the looming dread of possibly having to pay Lambda $30K one day."
> FTFA "People who drank hot tea daily but didn't smoke or drink alcohol every day had no increased risk of oesophageal cancer."
Actually, it's the opposite.
From the article, "Some studies have suggested that only people who drink alcohol or smoke are at risk of cancer from drinking hot tea. This study suggests that is not the case."
The conclusion section of the article addresses some of the questions raised here. I would say the conclusion was a refreshingly well written summary of what the results mean and some outstanding questions.
"We’ve recently learned that Google Accounts has slipped their schedule for using Web Authentication to register new credentials. This delay is attributed to security key support on Android being, for most devices, non-upgradable."
"The second vulnerability was in Microsoft Windows. It is a local privilege escalation in the Windows win32k.sys kernel driver that can be used as a security sandbox escape."
> What prevents a new update to revert this or cause other safety problem?
One would hope it's a culture of safety first at Tesla where all software changes are extensively reviewed, heavily tested in the real world and using whatever kind of simulations are possible, deployed in a reasonable manner to a small set of cars and only deployed to the main population of cars after a satisfactory amount of time.
> Pushing updates in a rush is not a good sigh for critical software.
Yeah, it's pretty scary to know the braking software in your car was tested for less than a week.
Which simply means it is because the car's AI isn't good enough to classify that object as something it should slow down for versus something it can ignore (like an empty plastic bag drifting across the road.)
Your comment suggests that Tesla's claims about the driver having his hands off the wheel for x seconds before a crash could be wrong. If the sensors detect the drivers hands are not on the wheel when they actually are on the wheel, then data logged about how long the driver's hands were off the wheel should be considered suspect.
I hope that's being investigated.
Personally, I'm having trouble believing the driver who died in the recent accident ignored the warnings for six seconds before the head-on collision, especially when he knew Autopilot didn't work well at that section of road.
I'm not familiar with how the system works. If the warning engages, is there a guarantee that the driver will have to take over shortly? Or are there scenarios when the warning turns off by itself and so the driver could have been waiting to see if the car would correct?
[Edit: lolc and Vik1ng pointed out that the warning isn't related to unsafe conditions as I implied. It's used whenever the sensors think the driver's hands are off the wheel.]
Hi, I'm your ISP. Now that I'm not limited by net neutrality over-regulation, life is going to be better for you.
Hacker news and those other niche new sites you visit are niche sites and as such have a lower routing priority. If you would like to prioritize them with full enhanced speed, please upgrade to niche news site plan. An additional $9.99 per month. Sorry, they're so slow right now.
You've noticed all your https traffic is slow now? Easy fix: install this software which proxies all your HTTPS traffic through our fast and secure gateway. This lets us add "supercookies" to all your web requests. We then sell your name and address to operators of sites you visit.
And what's great is that this software also allows us to insert our own advertisements into the websites you visit. Now we can finally take revenue from Google and Facebook and become our own advertising empire. We've wanted Google-money for a long time, but we've never had a way to force ads on users because we don't offer compelling services.
With the recent increases in Netflix and YouTube prices, we recommend you subscribe to ISPFlix. It's an additional $24.99 per month which is half the price of Netflix. We've wanted Netflix money for a long time, but we've never had a way to force users to use our services over Netflix. Now we love cord cutters.
Oh, you've noticed the decreased traffic to the website you operate? That might be due to your site being so much slower for users. If you'd like your site to be fast again, please pay an additional expedited content service fee. It's an additional $299 per month.
Oh, it looks like you have a smart thermostat installed. That's an extra $9.99 per month for the home automation service plan. We'll block packets that look like they're from your thermostat for now. We should let you know we offer a full home automation and security product. It's a terrible product that is not competitive.
See? Regulation to make sure we won't block or slow down sites or alter your traffic just doesn't make sense. It's totally not important to anyone, but we are going to promise we won't block or slow down sites. Our terms and conditions may change at any time.
It's pretty close to being the same thing. You're downloading Firefox at some point and not verifying the binaries you get match the source.
Unless Firefox provides fully reproducible builds on your platform from an open source compiler, you have no guarantee that the binary you have is built from the public source code. You have to trust Mozilla.
Without reproducible builds, compiling the source yourself would be the way to go.
Anyway, I agree that it should be clear that this file sharing service, while convenient, essentially requires you to trust Mozilla with your data. The claim "Mozilla does not have the ability to access the content of your encrypted file..." is fragile.

"a University of San Francisco study of data from 1988 to 2008, extended to 2013, demonstrated male nurses made an adjusted $5,148 per year more than female nurses. This inequality has persisted over 20 years with no discernible trend toward resolution in the future."
"The percentage of men in nursing has slowly risen from about 2% in 1975 when I entered nursing to almost 12% (or 330,300 nurses) now."
And I'm not trying to imply anything. I just thought it was noteworthy.
