Which mobile browsers allow this? Does it synchronise them?

I've used these a lot in the past, but switched to DDG's bangs largely because it was such a pain to change browsers/devices, and none of them ever worked for me on mobile. DDG's bangs are still a little unwieldy (! isn't a very convenient character to type, especially on mobile), so an alternative would be nice. For now though, the consistency everywhere far outweighs any other advantages of the in-built browser feature.
I'm quite ignorant on how the industry has gotten to this state. I don't understand why the cable companies are private in the first place. Wasn't the infrastructure they leverage heavily subsidized by the public? There are no consumers I can think of who are against net neutrality if given the option, yet it's still a battle. What can we do about this? I'm not asking rhetorically.

I'll let Charles Lindberg's words about his first parachute jump attempt an answer. Having been both a skydiver and a rock climber, I can say his thoughts are spot on.

"When I decided that I too must pass through the experience of a parachute jump, life rose to a higher level, to a sort of exhilarated calmness... The thought left me a feeling of anticipation mixed with dread, of confidence restrained by caution, of courage salted through with fear.

It was that quality that led me into aviation in the first place — it was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty. It lay beyond the descriptive words of man — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same instant."

Having designed an AR experience for children and doing quite a bit of research into this problem a few years ago...

One fact that might help - setting safety gear generally consumes a significant portion of a climber's time and effort. It doesn't show in top-roped gym climbing, but going up El Cap means putting a great deal of work into hauling and placing safety gear.

Free soloing versus geared climbing is almost comparable to free diving versus scuba. It's less safe, but removes so much overhead that it's a qualitatively different experience.

Honnold's free solos in Yosemite are frequently world speed records - often by a factor of 2 or more. He's climbing with a directness and lack of complication that's really hard to attain any other way.
Yeah, the maximum momentum of an ant is less than the speed at which suddenly stopping (i.e. impact with any other object) causes damage. An ant probably doesn't even have minor injuries in its normal operation, including any impacts with other ants or objects.

Also, pedestrians and cyclists and motorcyclists aren't ants. Some other metaphor would apply to them, and they can be damaged by the "ant" (a car) a lot easier.

But I think the most important difference is ants are cooperative rather than competitive; ants don't get pissed, whereas primates seem to require becoming irate occasionally even for no good reason.
Commerce that remains internal to a state also shouldn't be regulated by the interstate commerce clause, yet that's been done for almost a century.

TCP Windowing: What It Is, Scaling and Tips for 2017
The VC-backed company model isn't set up for employees. The model is so that (a) founders can take risks (b) using money from VCs (c) where if the company does well, the founders and VCs both become richer.

Everything else follows from that. The fact that employees get any shares at all is just a way to get better employees so that the company does well. Only employees of unicorns have any chance of getting wealthy from stock, and you're unlikely to be an early employee of a unicorn.

It's better to view the situation in absolute terms rather than relative terms. Instead of comparing the outcomes of founders/VCs vs employees, compare an employee of a startup to an employee of non-startups. At not-startups, the working environment is very different. Some people enjoy that, some prefer the opposite. Also, getting +$100k (or +$50k, or even just +$10k) is still nice, even if the founders and VCs get 800x more.

The only part I have serious concerns about is the fact that you can end up underwater when it comes time to exercise your options, i.e. your tax bill outweighs whatever profits you'd see. I don't know exactly how this situation arises, but it happened to a friend. It was something like: he could have exercised his shares and gotten several hundred thousand, but he would've needed to pay about $100k in taxes beforehand. Since he didn't have that money, he couldn't exercise the options.

I might be wrong about the specifics, but there are situations similar to that, and it's pretty unnerving knowing that you can jump into a situation where your +$100k somehow turns into -$50k.
It must be nice to have reasonable competitors. When I first moved into this house 2 years ago, I needed to wait for Comcast to dig me a new cable line, and in the meantime I had to use Frontier "fiber" DSL (it's not fiber). What a joke that was. The idea that my internet, phone, AND TV all came over a single telephone line was fascinating, but the internet was total crap.

Those are my options, so I'm stuck with Comcast.

The State of Florida in 1998, in order to fight disparity in sentencing, created a "scoring system"[0] where every crime in Florida is given a number that corresponds to the number of months in prison that crime could carry.

The scoring system is byzantine as all hell and I challenge anyone to figure it out.[1]

"Scoring out" is simply a term used by Florida convicts to explain how much time they got among themselves I guess. Maybe it was inappropriate to use it here.

Gain-time is a sentence reduction scheme where people get time off their total sentence for staying out of trouble.

Plastic Foam Fabrication Using Coconut Oil and Plastic from End-Of-Life Vehicles
Portland has aggressively pursued traffic calming and these traffic shaping measures you discuss. I first thought it was brutal and everyone drive really slow. On residential streets, both sides almost always allow forstreet parking, and so the roads don't allow for two way traffic. On other roads they narrow the lanes a lot, using bollards or increasing shoulder.

They realize that traffic is a social engineering problem and not a highway engineering one.

Now I love it. I drive slower when it makes sense to, and I do so because it's what feels right at the slice of road I'm on, not because of the sign that says the max speed.
About sexism part: Imagine what would happen when the same thing happened to a male panelist from female moderator side?

Nothing. Nobody would care about that. Except some panels overrepresented by women and about any SJ topic where a guy trying to shut female mod up to get a voice for male speaker would be literally destroyed.

Guess what, things like that are happening everyday for both sides but for one direction there's recently some overheated sensitivity. I think there's problem where to draw the line, so we don't call everything sexism or look for the context of gender.

I think it would be sexist to not invite good female scientist simply because she's a woman (and invite worse but male guest).

Now about the real issue which is asexual - ability to be great orator / speaker.

Most of great speakers would made their way into persuading moderator to let them express themselves (like you can't simply get between words of Lisa Abramson, Isabel Aguilera, Lawrence Krauss, Richard Dawkins or Neil deGrasse Tyson - they simply won't let you). There's much more speakers (both male and female) who simply are weak debaters and they find themselves much more comfortable in quiet lab than in heated discussion. Regardless of merit they posses.

Another thought - this is specifically about Honnold.

Caldwell isn't just making a pretty-sounding claim, he's drawing a distinction between Honnold and other free soloists who were much more attuned to death, who seemed to be free soloing precisely for the adrenaline rush of survival. (Dean Potter is the classic example.)

So I think this is a claim that Honnold is soloing for the purity and experience of the thing, specifically as compared to some other soloists who are more focused on adrenaline and risk.
Depends, if it's something likely to be customized, AGPL might work.
I disagree, it's a very apt description of an increasingly common phenomena online. When one's need to signal group membership outweighs their personal feelings regarding the issue at hand, that's virtue signalling. With the balkanization of online communities to being hyper-focused, and actively exclusionary of those with slightly different beliefs, virtue signalling becomes an important component of becoming and staying a member in good standing. Online political forums are stark examples of this.

Good question. I've seen claims that it is, authorized by the UNFCC treaty. But honestly, I've not read the contents of the Paris accord (https://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2015/cop21/eng/l09.pdf), so I wouldn't know.

Note that this is an important question. IF the Paris accord is a binding executive agreement authorized by the UNFCC treaty, and if there were no controversy about that (or the U.S. courts found that it is a valid executive agreement and in force), then it would be true that withdrawing from it would be subject to withdrawal clauses. On the other hand, if it is non-binding, and/or subject to ratification by the Senate, then withdrawal clauses cannot be applicable no matter how much European powers claim they must be, at least not as to U.S. law. (Foreign powers might apply sanctions, though that seems unlikely, to enforce withdrawal clauses.)

Of course, POTUS could always abrogate the UNFCC treaty if U.S. courts were to find that the Paris accord is a binding executive agreement not subject to ratification by the Senate, if POTUS found the withdrawal clauses too onerous. POTUS can abrogate treaties unilaterally, without negotiation or approval from either house of Congress or anyone else. Bush abrogated the ABM treaty, you might recall.

I like this and also like how it's phrased.

Yes, sexism, racism and other forms of bigotry are real; the way they'll truly be beat is if more and more ostracized people think like this and push through the slights, ultimately normalizing their being among the people that, formerly, ostracized them.

Outrage on behalf of others will only take us so far, although the good intention is surely commendable.

Great article. The point can be distilled down to information asymmetry - the company wants FROM YOU something that is relatively straightforward and clear (your time) and wants to give TO YOU something that is complex and hard to understand (a complicated financial instrument that may or may not turn out to have value in the future).

As a general rule, you should stay away from such deals. The likelihood is that the company knows more about the instrument than you do, and is using that information to underpay you.
First of all, I'm talking about the inequality of income between the super-high-earners (1%) and the rest. Those people are not the ones pricing everyone else out of housing.

Secondly, it's not true that rent/house prices increased sharply everywhere, nor is it entirely due to income inequality between high-earners and low-earners.

For one, we had and have a lot of real estate speculation (a correction of which we experienced in 2007) but we also have policies and regulations in place that ensure the market can not provide for affordable housing.

I need you to ELI5 this for me.

Let's say today I own 200 out of 10,000 shares (2%) of a company. Someone comes in and says we want to own 25% of your company and are willing to pay $100M for it. At that point (before any transactions happen) I assume that my company is worth ~$400M, and my shares are worth ~$8M ($400M * 0.02).

So the majority shareholders agree to the deal and dilute stock accordingly. Now there are 13,333 shares. The new buyer get 3,333 (25%) and I still have my 200 (now 1.5%). The company is worth that original $400M value plus the new $100M that was invested, for a total of $500M. My shares are worth ~$7.5M ($500M * 0.015).

The problem isn't training people to behave like ants for efficiency reasons. That shouldn't be difficult. The problem is people not planning ahead which translates to slamming on the brakes to make a lane change to exit, not speeding up quickly enough to merge smoothly with traffic which translates to the braking shockwave effect on the cars behind them, and finally, people's self-serving attitudes that translate to cutting other people off/weaving in and out of lanes/not letting others merge/etc.

TL;DR - This has been rehashed over and over but the same results are these: Ants do what is best for the colony. People do what is best for themselves.

Gonna nitpick a specific part of this meta-list:

One problem I've always had with sites described as "Lists of good projects if you're stuck on what to make" is that apparently the entire world has a different opinion than me on what actually constitutes a "project".

If I am looking for a "project" to work on, I'm not looking for a 15-line function that finds all the prime factors of a large number, or downloads a website's HTML pages. I'm looking for something more substantial - webapps that people have done that have been fun, for example. Text editors, drawing programs, etc. (I know it's self defeating to list these, since then it's "well why do you need a list, you seem to have ideas already", but whatever.)

I wish someone would have a good project idea list that didn't just boil down to "the things everyone knows from Project Euler"...
