Totally agree. My car radio still has 10 station preset buttons that are very easy to access along with next/prev buttons on the steering wheel. My wife care has a touch screen where only 4 stations are shown at a time and you need to push/touch extra to scroll through the list. None of it has dedicated buttons, so it's a lot of looking and poking around. Not appropriate at all for a driver.

It's hard to disagree. Investments that don't pay dividends are essentially pyramid schemes, as they always require someone to buy them off you in order to realise their value. Stuff that pays dividends can provide you with ROI without you having to shift them on to someone else.

However, since we live on a planet with unlimited resources capable of unlimited growth, the theoretical loss of being the "last investor" is perpetually shifted to the next generation, thereby solving the pyramid scheme problem once and for all.

Once and for all, I said!

The thing is, the Greek system mostly worked, corruption and waste and all, before it entered the Euro area. Cheap credit and no possibility of currency devaluation broke it.

The currency union was just very badly thought out. A currency union without a fiscal union is probably a bad idea. That was recognized somewhat by the stability criteria for new members that were then swiftly ignored for various reasons.
> How can I emperically determine if some object/animal/thing possesses consciousness?

There is currently no way. We don't even know if all humans possess it and what animals do. Maybe people who deny its existence just don't have it.

It's not modern vs old, it is more scientific vs religious.

I agree that most articles about consciousness feel like word games though.

Is anyone using a non-big-3 (Chrome/Firefox/Safari) browser enough to call it their default? I haven't tried Vivaldi yet but see this non-update hitting the front page as a heads-up that it might be worth checking out; how does this company pay the bills?

I'm interested in hearing about both the options available on different operating systems and/or mobile devices and the primary benefit each provides.

On Android, Firefox Focus has become my normal browser. I really don't use the phone to browse all that much, and prefer to use a clean session each time.

On Windows, I use multiple off-label browsers[0] mostly just to compartmentalize different sessions simultaneously. Now that Firefox is headed towards supporting this as a first-class feature, I may be able to cut down to one again. I just can't bring myself to give Google/Chrome all of my browsing metadata, but I do use it for work-related access since GMail is tied in.

As for bangs, I love skipping clicks. Most of the time I know what I want and can use bangs accordingly. I'm guessing my most common tags are !a, !yt, !gh, !wiki, !wolf and then some game(s) specific bangs.

> exact same end result

Not really, but "exact same end result" is far from the current situation. And I'm not saying they shouldn't do it, rather that they really need to catch up.

Google (not counting other Alphabet companies) does a lots of things. I think the original analogy is mostly right.
One reason is that it helps keep Linux free by making it harder to pull code out of the tree or maintain out-of-tree drivers, which encourages people to contribute their changes upstream.

It's 2017, not 1997. None of these issues should be any surprise to a large organisation's IT department. It's professional negligence to allow the situation to devolve to the point that such huge, expensive projects are required to upgrade everything, or the business is relying on a single outside software vendor for an important function.

IT departments should have complete visibility of all their hardware and software assets. They should have rolling programmes of upgrades for both hardware and software, and they should understand exactly how long these will take, so that they do not overrun an OS end-of-life. They should have contingency plans for deprecating or replacing software if a vendor goes out of business.

Failure to do the above is equivalent to a facilities department not doing essential maintenance, or forgoing safety checks, or a compliance department ignoring legal requirements. That fact that something costs money, or involves IT, does not magically excuse incompetence, shortsightedness or ignorance.

TL;DR we switched to react because
1. react is small (codebase wise)
2. react community is wide
3. react + redux = love.

I personally think that, although 1 and 2 are correct, this is not sufficient reason to choose one framework over another.

For 3, you can do Angular + Redux and it works perfectly well.

How is this "situation" with Bodega any different than the destruction of small town shops (and small towns in general) over the last 50 years?

This article could easily be retitled: "How This Article Typifies Urban Cultural Ignorance of the World Beyond the City Walls."
What if nobody needs to die of thirst because drinking water is considered an inalienable right?
Let's check in with what the actual founders of this company said:

Are we trying to put corner stores out of business?

Definitely not. Challenging the urban corner store is not
and has never been our goal.

Corner stores have been fixtures of their neighborhoods for
generations. They stock thousands of items, far more than we
could ever fit on a few shelves. Their owners know what
products to carry and in many cases who buys what. And
they’re run by people who in addition to selling everything
from toilet paper to milk also offer an integral human
connection to their patrons that our automated storefronts
never will.

This endgadget post is lying clickbait. It's "two minutes hate" for 21st century America.
This is basically a fancy vending machine, so I'm not really clear on why this got funded, but on the other hand vending machines are a thing. They don't actually seem to be trying to displacement bodegas from the get go, but rather putting their machines in upscale places like lobbies and gyms, but I'm still a bit confused by this whole thing, is the premise that these places are more likely to accept a pretty vending machine?
The thing with Duckduckgo is the choice has to be ideological or you will do a search again on Google again just to ensure you are not missing out.

This is Google marketing and brand perception at work because Google results of late, 3 years, have been unimpressive and you have to sift through pages of useless links and content to find any relevant information beyond the usual suspects one already knows, so their intensive spyware operations doesn't seem to help search quality.

It's surprising there are not more experimental search projects. One would have expected a steady stream of regular attempts but not a single credible effort exists. There was once an alternative search project called Cuil that just seemed to fizzle off.
> the Greek system mostly worked

That's highly debatable and in a changing political landscape there was no future for that. A tiny country next to the EU and a large Eurozone? Greece needed reforms and some (not all) of them were long delayed. That's also the point of the EU and the Eurozone. It provides the framework for the reforms. The largest win for Greece is a stable democracy, after a long phase of political instability and military governments.
>Considering you complaint about speed of navigating between files, I highly doubt that you know "all these shortcuts"

You can doubt it, but you'll be wrong :-) Note that I'm not speaking of navigating between already OPEN files (I know how to move between splits, maximize them, etc), but between files IN the project I'm working with. Vim just takes longer for those tasks and gives worse overview/feedback on which they are/where they are/etc, including with the relevant plugins.

>because even if you do, the philosophy of vim is to keep optimizing your workflow, so you create a shortcut for shortcuts

That might be the philosophy of Emacs, but it's hardly the "philosophy of vim". In fact most old-time vim users I know try to keep their customizations to the minimum, so they feel at home to whatever system/vim they're thrown at.
My experience (in Portugal) is that they provide a sort of safety net and offer small but precious favors, thanks to being owned by a Person (and not a faceless corporation) who you can get to know and establish a trust relationship.

Our corner stores provide items on credit for local residents when money stretches thin before the paycheck arrives, they deliver for free to the poor old lady who can't leave her home, or they hold your home keys if you needed to give them to someone when you were away. In exchange, we buy some stuff from them, even if it's a bit more expensive.

Plus, some have relationships with local farmers and other small scale producers, and so can get some genuinely better products than supermarkets. I always bought national fruits and bread from them.
Could you imagine the point-of-view of someone who did find this helpful? And then, the opinion of this hypothetical reader would hold of the Bodega clowns?

To me, the commentary helps call out how insincere and non-genuine the quoted text is.
> It's refreshing that a country can act this quickly

I'll remind you of how refreshing it is when I drag your family off the gulag without warrant. Its not "refreshing", its scary.
Honestly, it just sounds like these 'coastal elites' seems to care a lot more about their personal image and making themselves feel good rather than actually caring about bodegas and their families, or whatever. Reminds me in a bit like poverty porn.

Lets be honest here - they're just vending machines. Sure, Bodega is a very bad choice of name, but it was the FastCompany article that said they want to kill mom and pop stores and rob their familities, not the founders.

If you guys were coherent, places like Olive Garden should never
exist. And I am not even starting on how much of a shit job Olive Garden is doing of trying to look Italian, because I don't care.

Europe, with such a rich mix of cultures should be a trigger-hell for you Americans.

(I am being sarcastic) How can you really cope with all this?

Edit: to add insult to injury, how should we Italians feel about being always portrayed as "pizza, mafia, gobbledygook mamma mia".
It's so far from our reality, we don't care.

DDG is using over 400 sources apparently, of which one is Yahoo https://duck.co/help/results/sources
The same goes for programmers who started with DOS, we had even fewer resources, 640k and some free mem you could use.
They could be using the POS version which IIRC will get regular updates until 2019. Probably illegal, unless they have some special license, but surely not a bad thing given the huge boost in performance compared to newer OSes and the shrinking number of compatible malware around.
"Savers in today's society get punished"

No. You can earn the same as inflation in a risk-free investment.

Savers are not punished for anything.
That’s the exact line where I stopped reading. Although I rolled my eyes a little at the idea of the Bodega name being cultural appropriation too.
Sure there is.
