What shocked me more than the loss was the honestly kinda ass revenue for their valuation. This isn't Uber with billions in revenue while losing in money. >In the screenshots of the company’s financials, Palantir lists a net loss of

I believe they meant losses to Robinhood users, not Robinhood.

People call the police for, for example, suicidal people all the time. And no, it doesn't always end well, hence the change.

I guess this is how they're preparing for the IPO?

Maybe numerically, but Chrome alone has 70% marketshare. When you consider that edge runs off of the Chrome engine, Google controls like >80% of how the world sees the web essentially. If Chrome adds a new feature, everyone else must ada

They make 90% of their revenue from Google paying to have Google be the default web search on FF. A deal which is expiring in 2021 and hadn't yet been renewed.

It's not moral grandstanding. I don't think the exec team earns their keep. It would be one thing if they were leading a growing non profit (that owns a for profit), but rather they're leading a quickly declining ship, all wh

These are exceptional times. The original Mozilla posts mentioned the effects COVID19 had on their business. CEOs of much larger companies, with much larger salaries, have cut or take no salary. Here's a short list of some Lyft, Fiat C

Yeah, I feel like the phrasing is just completely wack. It's one thing if the argument is that execs do bring value, and you need to pay that much to have good execs, but >That's too big a discount to ask people and their fam

Of course. It's a necessary sacrifice. That money will go on to support the livelihoods of the most vulrenable and needy of the Mozilla team, namely the C-suite. "She actually responded to my question about her salary in a q&a

I don't think such a thing exists. It's a pretty niche topic. The Mozilla foundation is a non profit which owns all of Mozilla corporation. Because foundation is a non profit, donations to it are tax deductible. They also cannot f

The reality is that most people like working with smart peers and cool technology. Being paid is also nice. Any moral or ethical values is somewhere in the middle of the pyramid of needs.

You can't donate. But you can purchase some of their paid products, like their upcoming VPN.

Actually, if you donate, literally none of it will go to Firefox. You'd be donating to the Mozilla foundation, not the Mozilla corporation, which develops Firefox. P.s the Mozilla foundations CEO makes 2.5 million dollars a year, and s

By the way, what are the peninsula stereotypes? I know a few people in redwood but it seems mostly like the same stereotypes, but I really dont know that much about the area.

I don't see how that's a problem? There's no lack of payment processors, as you have noted, many with lower fees. If you choose Stripe, you're doing so for the dev experience, their ML whatever, better testing suite, int

Your point is a complete non-sequitar though? How'd it go from "Patrick is very active on HN/with developer communication!" to "yeah but Stripe is expensive"? AFAIK they see themselves as a "premium"

Same for me. There's the benefit of user tracking, I guess. I definitely Google for docs frequently so it makes sense to tailor the results for the language.

It's unfortunate that traditional desktop GUI frameworks are such an abysmal developer experience that everything from FOSS made by 1 person in their spare time to the cornerstone of multi-billion dollar companies choose to embed a web

Well, yeah? I'd be shocked if any supported browser can run a modern SPA. That's not even necessarily because of resource limitations, it's just very, very different from the techniques of the era.

At least on digital Ocean I've definitely had weird post requests to /php/admin or whatever even before I've added a domain name.

Just having backups isn't enough. It's ransomware 101 to wait and try to encrypt all of their online backups and any recent offline backups. You really need comprehensive, air-gapped backups that date to years back.

I don't know about that. For one, travel margins are not exactly the same as SaaS margins. Secondly, there's the global pandemic and all, kinda hurts the free cash of most travel companies. I wouldn't be surprised if they gen
