Its out of the box spell checking is just terrible, at least on OS X compared to Chrome and Safari.

Your example doesn't bother me too much, because at least it is right that the word is not spelled correctly. It is just not being great at suggesting replacements (although on my Mac it omits "Tait" and does suggest "That" at the end of the list, and if the misspelled word was "taht" rather than "Taht" then "that" is the first suggestion).

What bothers me is that it frequently flags word as misspelled that are in fact correctly spelled.

I'm using whatever dictionary is configured out of the box. There is an "add dictionary" option in the Languages sub-menu on the right-click pop-up in text areas, but I haven't yet gotten around to exploring that.

The good news is that this is really the only beef I have with Firefox for ordinary use.

Chrome still wins for a lot of development work, though, because of its multiple people feature. I can set up one person for each project, and easily switch between them, with each person having their own set of bookmarks, history, cache, cookies, and so on.

Firefox can do that with multiple profiles, but if you want to use two profiles at once you have to launch two copies of the browser. That can then lead to confusion when other programs try to open a URL, either failing to open or opening in the wrong instance of Firefox.
I think a good "trick" is test driven development.
But their DNS service is recommended to everyone in oppressed countries, routers have it by default, Linux distro's (even security oriented ones) have it by default...
..and Open Fonts and other projects hosted on their CDN... They are the champions of a better web, making the web better, faster, safer, more beautiful.

Could you explain what you mean, particularly the last part? So you're saying having that independent high paying job, in your experience, really helped things? For me, that's almost my only "hope" of a better future - I'm involuntarily living with my parents due to renting in my city not making financial sense, and I think that causes me a bit of depression because I feel totally out of control of my situation (I feel monitored and treated like a idiotic teenager still, despite turning 29 this year) UNLESS I move to work in the States (paid more, have excuse to rent my own place). If it sounds entitled that I am complaining about free rent, it probably is, but from my point of view I've barely grown up as an adult because the environment at home has never changed.

Although Tesla abandoned the idea because of lack of interest (which I do find strange), a swapping station solves this problem. A depleted battery can be swapped for a fresh one in less time than a gasoline fillup requires.

Sadly ddg doesn’g have a clear verbatim mode either, but it’s not as bad as google search yet.
"Google started this really annoying habit of including results that don't have the words you are searching."

Queried a one word string that is probably in hundreds of pages.

Got 5 bogus results.

On the plus side, I noticed ddg has apparently fixed an issue they used to have with prefixing result urls with a ddg proxy url, as other search engines are known to do.

To disable this, previously the user had to turn on Javascript. I never use Javascript, and I got the urls unprefixed, as they should be.

search: test2 (no quotes)

23 results
15 had test2 inurl
3 had test2 intitle
0 had test2 inpage
5 were not found inurl, intitle or elsewhere

Some thoughts from a search engine author:

"For most popular subjects, a simple text matching search that is restricted to web page titles performs admirably when PageRank prioritizes the results (demo available at google.stanford.edu). For the type of full text searches in the main Google system, PageRank also helps a great deal.

"Our compact encoding uses two bytes for every hit. There are two types of hits: fancy hits and plain hits. Fancy hits include hits occurring in a URL, title, anchor text, or meta tag. Plain hits include everything else."

"We chose a compromise between these options, keeping two sets of inverted barrels -- one set for hit lists which include title or anchor hits and another set for all hit lists. This way, we check the first set of barrels first and if there are not enough matches within those barrels we check the larger ones."

"Google considers each hit to be one of several different types (title, anchor, URL, plain text large font, plain text small font, ...), each of which has its own type-weight."

source: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html

Would the above one word search for text2 perform "admirably" if it only examined title, meta tags and url?

Popular searches, fancy hits, type-weight, ranking.

And then there is everything else.
I'm not sure I agree with this. I've had on-and-off severe depression for most of my life, both during times of high disposable income and times with very limited cash. Depression with disposable income is much, much more manageable. Maslow's hierarchy is kind of a bitch.

They did not achieve much in comparison to the rest of the world. Come on, it's obvious:

- a non-hungry society? NO
- wealthy society? certainly not
- advanced and commercially successful airliners? no (but you'll pick a nit here, I'm sure)
- advanced medicine? no (cue BS about how wonderful medicine is in Cuba, but still no)
- advanced computing devices? no, certainly nothing like those available in the West by 1991, much less anything since
- the Internet? NO
- putting a man on the moon? (hardly important, but) no
- a myriad of consumer products of varying technological content, from the trivial to the highly advanced? NO, see the first item
- how about... cars... anti-lock brakes, catalytic converters, airbags...? no

I could go on. But really, no, the USSR did not come close to the U.S. as to innovation, not because the USSR lacked talented people (it had them in spades) or a decent tech education system (it had a very good tech education system), but because its economic system could not make the best of those resources. It's that simple.
Thanks for the correction on the year.

Income growth can definitely explain the increase in tax burden, but my point still stands, no? The tax burden is not shifting from the wealthy to the poor.

And if you look at the bottom quintile, their tax burden has fallen, even though income continues to rise.

I was a Mason for a number of years. The reality among Masons varies from jurisdiction (i.e., state) to jurisdiction and also from lodge to lodge. In other words, no single person can speak for all. What I'm saying here is just my experience. I participated in 2 different states and found the differences pretty significant between the 2 (not good or bad, just different).

It was a multi-faceted experience for me (good and bad). I'm grateful that I had the experiences, but I'm also grateful to have moved on. Within the "Blue Lodge" (regular Freemasonry), there are really 2 kinds of meetings: stated (monthly, normally boring stuff), and special (typically degree conferrals). The degree conferrals was a fantastic experience for me and I'll always keep as treasured memories. There are 3 degrees: Entered Apprentice (EA), FellowCraft (FC), and Master Mason (MM). The last section of each degree has a lecture specific to the degree. I really enjoyed the lectures (and ritual if it's done really well), and most especially the one for Fellow Craft (referred to as the 'stair lecture'). The other part of Blue Lodge that's supposed to be meaningful is the friendships that you develop and spend time with your fellow brothers.

Outside of the Blue Lodge are various appendant bodies (affiliated organizations): York Rite, Scottish Rite, and Shriners are the main ones. I did belong to the Scottish Rite and really enjoyed the ritual. The Scottish Rite has 32 degrees and a separate ritual for each. The rituals are essentially plays/drama intended to convey one or more traits/values. I was fortunate enough to attend Scottish Rite degrees in Guthrie, Oklahoma. The Scottish Rite temple there is beautiful and watching the degree conferrals there was the highlight of my Masonic experiences.

Why am I grateful for my Masonic experiences? I got to meet some really interesting people; I got to experience the degrees/ritual, and I became a better person by internalizing some of the teachings. This last part for me was becoming more tolerant and patient.

How far do the 'blood oaths' really go? I don't know. It seems that they were real long ago, but I really believe that they're 100% symbolic in the US. Is it possible that there is some super secret and nefarious inner ring? Yes, it's possible but I wouldn't bet on it.

Many Masons discuss the 2 types of Masons: card-carrying Masons (registered, and carries ID card in their wallet) and real Masons (no physical proof, but it's in their heart). Ideally, the 2 types would always be one and the same, but they aren't always.

>this is also an effect of US isolationism and America first rhetoric

This is completely backwards.

>meaning you can't print like crazy and export your inflation in the world.

This is why other countries are moving away from the US dollar as the reserve currency (and the petrodollar as a medium of exchange for oil and other commodities). For decades we have been coercing countries, both kinetically (Iraq, Libya) and through less violent means (economic threats, access to SWIFT, ect) to use the dollar. Much of the rest of the world is tired of being coerced into using the dollar (and by extension, propping up the dollar and the US financial system through artificial demand for dollars) when alternatives (such as the Yaun) are becoming available. Much of our crazy printing and exportation of inflation has come exactly because of the countless trillions we have wasted (in the last 15 years alone) in our fruitless and amoral attempt to control the world at the point of a gun. Ironically, and not coincidentally, our desperate (and costly) attempts to maintain control of the globe are hastening the decline of our influence, both politically and economically.

Perhaps there's not social connection directly in the workplace, but there IS social connection between Uber/Lyft/etc drivers online. It was on HN a week or two ago:

The Network Uber Drivers Built:

Ride-hail drivers work alone, but they’re banding together online to compare notes, uncover new policies, and help each other navigate the rough roads of the gig economy.

Similar online communities exist for Mechanical Turk.

(I don't think your overall point is wrong, just pointing out that contractors often figure out ways to organize online anyway... This is a good trend, and hopefully spreads as a way to counteract the sometimes-isolating world of contract work...)

The difference in arc lengths is less than you'd think--

It's only about 20km further assuming Alaska is 1/3 of the world's circumference away from Australia.

(1/3)*(2*pi*(r+10) - 2*pi*r) = (1/3)(20*pi) ~= 20
As numbered edition artworks that would be considered very low end. The price is a reflection of both intrinsic and extrinsic value as perceived in the fine art world.

Intrinsic meaning the investment of individualized effort, which include what we might call "set up costs," and extrinsic meaning: can this artist command some multiplier based on their name?

$200 suggests a modest return on modest sales by an "unknown" whose work will be primarily valued by people with a personal interest in it.

$400 framed would be reasonable as well.

For art world definitions of "reasonable" of course :)
“One common trait of the U.S., Korea and China is that people accept failure as part of the process,”

They did not cared, in the first place through. They were not capitalist. They actual failure is that they did not achieved world domination and that they did not managed to build that new superior human they wanted. Those were the ideological goals.

They also did monernized Russia after they came to power, monarchy they replaced was very behind the technology of the time.

OK this is hilariously misguided as a metric. Also, I have some familiarity with the SK tech industry. They're catching up to US standards and hold themselves back by prioritizing the old-school mechanisms for upward movement which hinge on seniority/age and pedigree.
Bear in mind it is a way to own unique outputs from the creator's own "instrumented" NES emulator. So, as with commercial software, the price reflects the r&d cost. In this case there's also an "art print" aspect to the product. I'm not tempted to buy but I can imagine that selling the prints for less than, say, $50 might create more work fulfilling orders than the guy wants to do & at the same time make the product seem less special.

It was a first mover, it had huge uptake and valuation, but in a few years (or perhaps already) someone is going to build a protocol that is capable of hundreds of thousands of secure transactions a second, and it will make Bitcoin look archaic.

The Visa argument has always been silly. Visa has an average transaction rate of 2000/s, and can support ~50,000/s. They support 25x the overhead of their actual rate.

If Visa needed to support 1,000,000 tps, they would do it. That tech is much easier to develop centrally than in a blockchain-distributed network. They just don't have any reason to do it because they match the scale they care about already.
