I've always preferred Firefox and rarely used Chrome, until a few months ago when FF started eating CPU so badly that I now use Chrome almost exclusively.

I have no idea what causes FF to use 100% CPU, but it happens consistently, every single time I use FF for any length of time. Browsing Twitter will do it, YouTube will do it, eventually something will do it. Maybe it has to do with video? I don't know, and I don't have the time or (probably) the knowledge to try to figure it out.

Until/unless Firefox fixes whatever bug is causing this, I'm forced to stick with Chrome (which just works, hour after hour, day after day).
I've given you an upvote, as that does seem to make sense.

But to confirm, the particular quote from the BMJV that I was going by on that page is this one, does it match with your understanding? (My German comprehension isn't great.)

"Die Anbieterkennzeichnungspflicht muss praktisch von jedem, der ein Online-Angebot bereithält, erfüllt werden. Etwas anderes gilt nur bei Angeboten, die ausschließlich privaten oder familiären Zwecken dienen und die keine Auswirkung auf den Markt haben. Im Zweifel sollten Sie davon ausgehen, dass die Anbieterkennzeichnungspflicht besteht."

The first sentence seemed to say that "in practice everyone offering something online must comply", and I took "privaten" in the second sentence to imply private as in "password protected / not publicly accessible". But as someone learning German I've probably interpreted those too narrowly, and I'd love to be corrected on the nuance!
This also applies to performance. Nobody cares that the system is nightmarishly slow in bureaucratic corporations where even the simplest software projects take 6 months minimum.
Yes, but a * b + c is not normally interpreted as a * (b + c), in this text it is.

1+2x3+4x5 evaluates to 1+2x23 which in turn evaluates to 1+46 which is 47. In the normal way it would be 1+6+20 or 27.

innovation is to move grammar analysis to parse-time, which
lets ALL(*) handle any non-left-recursive context-free
grammar.

> The leaning building across from my office, for example, has nothing to do with seismic issues

Nowhere in the article did anybody make such a claim. It was to illustrate the general problems of building in that area even without an earth quake, which leads me to the other point, what IMO is the main issue, and I think is pretty independent of how much effort is spent on any one building: The potential for soil liquefaction. They included several maps showing that many of the tallest buildings are built pretty much exactly over ground that might suffer that fate in a big earth quake. How would any individual design help? Compared to the alternative of not building the tallest structures right over those spots. The maps also showed plenty of more solid ground, but that is where there are mostly lower buildings.

I would like to hear your opinion on that issue.

As for your doubts on the entire article, it seems to me they asked quite a few specialists? Are they all mistaken?

Well, I certainly would like you to be right, I used to live in SF and I still love the entire greater Bay Area.

I guess the American political parties have shifted over historical time, but they haven't shifted much in the last 4 decades or so. And there are pretty reliable ideological differences between democrats and republicans, across a wide variety of issues. Of course, you lose a lot of information with a binary classification, but the binary classification still tells you quite a bit in this case.

A community is a group of people you interact with (and who interact with each other) regularly. Community health means the people are kind to each other, help each other, communicate with each other. If a community is not healthy, they don't talk to each other and view each other as enemies.

If you have barricades and highly weaponized armed guards, you don't have a community. You have a war.
That is not my point. My point is that statements that rely on judgement and include phrases like "I think..." or "you think..." have nothing to do with facts.

I'd imagine this would correlate with ethnic and/or economic diversity, which makes it surprising that Sacramento (my hometown, and consistently in the top 15 of the variety of "most ethnically/economically diverse American cities" lists, sometimes venturing into the top 5 or the #1 spot) seems to be absent from the article.

==I would not recommend moving to Chicago proper until Illinois gets their major fiscal problems worked out.==

Recommending people move to Gary or Kenosha simply to avoid living in Chicago is pretty silly and a vast over-reaction. Markets have priced in the fiscal issues and Chicago is still cheaper than comparable cities for tech professionals. Even with increased taxes, Chicago will remain cheaper than New York, Seattle, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and DC.

Pretty much every city/state in the US has a pension crisis and will require tax increases. Would you recommend people avoid these places?:

It's not just the fire department that's better - in 1906 a lot of those fires were caused when the quake would pull a gas appliance from a wall and leave a gas leak that later ignited.

Nowadays everyone has their hot water heater and oven bolted or strapped to the wall. I'm sure there are other useful fire codes California has adopted since then but this one rule will probably prevent more fires in the next big quake than any other.
This doesn't sound like NK is any closer to opening up, just that NK has completed their nuclear program and is looking to reassert their influence on the Korean peninsula.
I recall seeing some computer animation to this effect in a documentary (in the UK) about the Millennium tower tilting - searching on that brought up some confirmation in the form of a press release by the TJPA:

http://tjpa.org/uploads/2016/08/301-Mission-Press-Release-Au...

The 60-story Millennium Tower is made of concrete rather than steel, resulting in a very heavy
building. This heavy structure rests on layers of soft, compressible soil. The foundation of the
Tower, however, consists only of a concrete slab supported by short piles that fail to reach the
bedrock below. That foundation is inadequate to prevent settlement of a building with the weight
of the Tower. In contrast, the Salesforce Tower and 181 Fremont Tower, also adjacent to the
Transit Center, are supported on piles drilled down to bedrock. Millennium Partners’ poor design
decision is the cause of the tilt and excessive vertical settlement of the Millennium Tower.
I wonder when Facebook would start incorporating some of the democratic processes in its decision making and potentially let users elect 'directors' to oversee some of the decision making. I guess never. I don't think capitalism and social media, that would be good for the society, cannot go together.

Quote from the article:

Cambridge Analytica is a scandal that isn’t a scandal: Everyone who has ever worked on or with the Facebook platform knew that for several years, the platform made data available to third-party developers by design.

It’s fascinating how the tech community is so obsessed with scaling and automation that the idea of having a five-digit support staff for a billion users is seen as absurd. Companies like Google have taken this attitude to heart and seem to be absolutely determined to avoid anything that might require a linear relationship between userbase and staff numbers.
Then "direct descendants" is just a poor choice of words for describing an entirely different relationship.

>why are my videos not reaching the people who explicitly subscribed to me?

Ugh Facebook. I have a community page for my town with thousands of likes, and most posts only reach 10% of the people who explicitly followed my page. Even if I pay to boost a post, I'm lucky to hit 20%. I get a lot of complaints from people who missed an event because they never saw the (sometimes multiple) Facebook posts announcing it. I mean, they could have visited the website or subscribed to the newsletter, but still... they asked Facebook to kindly show them the posts from this page, and Facebook told them "no", because "algorithm".
Or offer an anonimiser service in place of your email, which just redirects to your actual email. Not everyone hosts email on their domain.
This is what happens when you promise ad revenue, and then slowly, without any information, begin shadow banning channels and videos, meanwhile YouTube still runs ads and gets the cut. You will get crazy people who depend on YouTube for income, and then without any warning your income is slashed. Did you break the terms? No. Did you get banned? No. You just get 1/8th the views because who knows why?

Well you say to yourself, just go somewhere else. Where? There is no video platform that offers the ability to advertise like YouTube that has even close the amount of eye balls. Well then just use Patreon! Yeah good luck getting people to sign up unless you're wildly popular and do this as your day job. You're basically squeezed into this hole where you were making money, enjoying what you were doing, and trying to build something with YouTube, and now you're trying to read between the lines of what is advertiser friendly and won't get your shadow banned. It's an abusive relationship that people who have money think you should just do something else.
Plus by screwing their current clients, they are in effect working towards not getting new ones. It's a win/win scenario I suppose.

You can make an argument for wearing a helmet just about anywhere including hiking, walking up stairs, and driving a car. Helmets would presumably decrease head injury rate with all those activities. But we make tradeoffs.

People get very doctrinaire about wearing helmets for specific activities. Not that long ago, people never used to wear helmets downhill skiing unless they were racing. Now they're common and, for some people, are something that it's reckless not to wear.

At least traditional helmets just don't fit with bike share and scooter share services. Maybe some of the flexible materials like D3O make sense for this sort of application as a compromise.
