I am not really sure, but we switched to Microsoft Dynamics a while back because Salesforce was overly expensive, and we got some steep discounts from Microsoft through a partner program. I don't use it much, but our sales people seem to have adjusted pretty easily; it was a bit of a pain to extract, clean, and import all the data that used to be in Salesforce, but far from insurmountable.
Indeed, I couldn't find any evidence that there are web components involved either by inspecting the demos or searching the source.

A few simple guidelines:

* Diversify your information inputs both in terms of leaning, but also format and platform. I read the Economist, New York Times, and WSJ. I also watch YouTubers (Philip de Franco is one of my staples), read Hacker News and Reddit. I also listen to podcasts.

* Try and find the primary sources when possible. Preferably, view the primary sources before reading the news coverage. This will help you judge the primary source without being primed to think one way or another.

* Look at the sources and references provided by the media you're reading. Good ones will link to primary sources as much as possible. Poor ones will often not link to primary sources - often this is because they are misrepresenting the source and if they linked to them then readers would see this deception.
I've been using Flutter at work for the past month, having used Ionic before (cross-platform but non-native experience), and I'm liking it so far.

If your goal is to play around with code, learn and have fun, I would say give Flutter a try.

It won't lock you out of publishing on F-Droid or anywhere else as far as I understand. And you if you just want to play around you can install your apps directly to your phone with no platform whatsoever.

Since you mention you don't have much programming experience, I would recommend doing some course at Udemy such as this[0], and decide by yourself if Flutter is fun enough - for me it is. But please, don't buy the course at the overpriced tag, don't pay more than 10-15$ for one of those.

the 'tab to search' feature that lets you search websites directly from the searchbar. Apparently you can set up something similar in firefox but you have to do it for every site individually, which is too inconvenient for me.

Also VAAPI support on linux, which firefox ironically treats like a second class citizen. Can't watch HD videos on youtube without my cpu melting on Firefox.

Ok, let me rephrase: top 1% had 23% of wealth in 1989 to invest. The next 9% had 37%. If, say, all of them were equally "smart" investors (just different starting positions), for every 1 billion of investment from the top 1%, you get roughly 1.7 billion investment from the next 9%, and their returns are proportional as well. The fact that this 1.7 billion is distributed across 9x more people should not matter in the big picture.

The proportional wealth gap of these groups (not individuals in each of the groups) should stay the same, and even the absolute gap should decrease (on 25% return, one group earns 0.25 billion and the other earns 0.42 billion, thus decreasing the gap by 0.17 billion).

I could understand the argument that the top 1% are smarter investors (though my butt-feel disagrees :), or that the next 9% have less non-tied funds available for investment, but you haven't brought those arguments: you even mention the same returns on their proportionally smaller investments.

So how did the top 1 to next 9 go from 23:37 to 32:38? It does not flow from your initial or subsequent argument, or am I missing something?

It was originally meant as satire of small-town Scandinavia. But... You're definitely not encouraged make a big deal out of yourself over here. Maturity means to do your part to help the people around you. Taking up space is somewhat frowned upon and people are generally uncomfortable with accepting compliments. The mindset is collective. But there's a social class of business people and professional athletes who don't think that way. I think you basically have to be in small circles, have special abilities or be born into a family of business people to get exposed to an individualist mindset like that.

Why are financial instruments going to remain exclusive to the elite any more than prior revolutionary economic technologies like agriculture, refrigeration, or pasteurization? Financial instruments in general have undergone prolonged cost decreases that don't look to be anywhere near exhausted. Patents restrict access for a couple of decades at most. If the enabling technology is affordable and patents are expired, I see no reason that financial instrument use cannot become widespread.

"Not dying of poverty in childhood" was never a luxury of the elite, and it always ossified into a permanent class marker.

That’s a simplistic and dismissive attitude to a project that keeps on surviving and going up in value for more than ten years with original creator quietly disappearing without any trace and/or suggestions about governance or development direction.

But value is in the eye of the beholder - you value bitcoin at zero and so you don’t have any and don’t see the reason why would anyone value it at anything else. I doubt there is anything I can say that might change your opinion.

I can second this. But it also fits in real good with households that can't afford a lot too, as that creates more educational / bonding opportunities. For example, my dad always worked on the family vehicles, where I learned a lot about basic auto mechanics (even just handing a wrench when needed, taught me about fractions (what's the next size up from a 5/8th?). When the parents have to do many domestic chores themselves because they can't hire it out, it is natural for the kids to be involved (anything from car mechanics, to cooking, deck building, renovating the bathroom, etc).

When both parents work a high end job, chances are the car gets dropped off at a mechanic to change the oil or for a tuneup. And many meals are carry out or in restaurants.
I've been disappointed with Firefox on MacOS. I tried it for months, but it constantly crashed on me, especially when using multiple monitors, and was super laggy and jittery compared to what I was used to.

I gave up and went back to Chrome, which has been as performant as ever.

The shortage of almost any commodity or product is due to price. The earth has abundant amounts of rare earth elements, hydrocarbons, gold, platinum, silver etc.

The iron laws of commodity trading are supply and demand curves.

A non existent supply curve basically never exists. There is almost always a price with which one can acquire a commodity or bring in supply. As you stated in the helium case, prices may need to rise for increased supply to come on absent new technology.

Side note: Whale oil is about the only “useful” commodity I can think of that was almost eliminated entirely. Whales were basically saved by the oil and coal industries as lamps moved from whale oil, to kero, and eventually incandescent light. Ironically these industries now threaten sea life through pollution and global warming, but they were initially a saviour of the whales.
For me it was hard to train myself to stop using Chrome and start using Firefox. A few months ago I created an alfred workflow to help train quick `⌘ + space` users to use Firefox.

I don't know about MN specifically, but the teardown+upsizing is usually a direct result of zoning restricting multifamily development. A 4500sf lot could hold 3-4 townhomes that probably cost similar to the sale price of that 1200sf bungalow, and together sell for more than your quasi-mcmansion. If you need a variance to build the townhomes but can build the McMansion by right, that changes the economics of time and certainty, so you end up with the McMansion. I just moved out of Bellevue, WA and that city is full of run down houses from the 50s getting town down for 4500sf $1.5M+ mansions. In general, the #invisiblehand has his thumb on the scales against legal, by-right development of denser housing.

> What's your response to the article's point that a platform, any platform, already changes your behaviour?

I strongly disagree with it. Especially when it comes to mate selection, people have a lifetime of experience on which to draw from to make a decision.

> Platforms are already a moral authority, even if just by reinforcing norms.

I don't agree that "reinforcing norms" (aka giving people what they want) is a moral position unless that position is: We'll let your users decide for themselves what's best for them.

> Technologists who say "I'm neutral, I just listen to the data/user/profits/shareholder/specification" fail to recognize that software acts on people, and being willfully blind to what influence you have is not absolving you of influence.

Everything acts on people. Every input you take in is processed and your brain decides what to do with it. By staying as neutral as possible, you let the end user make the decision on their own. I also don't think this sort of manipulation is even effective.

Jordan Zmick. Not sure why he is competent, but here’s the first paragraph of the unsolicited LinkedIn message he sent me:

> Hi _____ - Your profile came up in my search today for a Sr. Software Developer (100% remote) opportunity with HubTran where your tech stack at _______ matches well with the experience we are looking to add to the team (we have 5 openings).

He then goes on to list the technologies we use at work, and the ones HubTran uses, and they actually match! He says they need several functional programmers, of which I am one. So he did his homework, and that was impressive.
Yes, I think that was actually a good choice. It's a bit of an inconvenience for people who want to install at our own risk, and we have to get used to a different colored icon, but it's too easy to get a user to go into about:config and change a setting and for them to forget about it. With Firefox Developer Edition they at least have to do a big download, install it, and go into about:config, and there's a chance they'll one day notice it and think "I'm not a developer. Why do I have Firefox Developer Edition?"
You are correct that they brought these innovations to market, but the point here is that the biggest determining factor is price.

The next line from your quote was.

I set up my bash config to store history separately for each working directory (ie separate history files that I store under a $HOME/.bash_history_d directory) – so as I cd into a project directory, the history is populated with the commands that I've run within that directory.

I find this super-helpful to remind me of the context for projects – cd in, then up-arrow to whatever that command is I usually run to launch this server, grep this logfile, etc.

There are some downsides – sometimes I want to run the same command in directory X and also in subdirectory X/Y, but I love doing it this way.

Anyone else done something similar?

Well, they are not embedding Blink to build a new browser either - they just fork Chrome. They could have forked Firefox the same way and customize it to their liking.

But that would not have solve their web compatibility issue in such an easy way.

I tried to switch two years ago, but back then Firefox was very resource hungry on my MBP so I stick to Safari. Chrome - with Google‘s approach to privacy - was no option at all, even if their browser was magnitudes better (which it was not; the differences are marginal in my perception). A few months ago I tried FF again. This time I was amazed. No CPU spikes. Super fast startup. - I cannot explicitly express my arguments and my sentiment, but my gut feeling says that Google‘s approach to privacy is totally wrong. So I don‘t want to touch any of their products. That‘s why I migrated my emails to fastmail.com, am using duckduckgo.com instead of Google.com, switched to Firefox from Chrome, to Dropbox from Google Docs. Abandoned Google Photos.

No, it's just that you're used to something different.

I primarily use Safari for development and when I switch to Chrome or Firefox it feels unnatural and weird at first. Then I acclimate and all is well.
Firefox developers even make a specific Facebook Container add on that I recommend and use.

Instead of you needing to know all the tricks and tweaks needed to make it work well, they're in the box.

I don't even know it's there until it does something unexpected but necessary. For example the Facebook Container has no idea I pay YouTube not to show adverts. So inside Facebook any inlined YouTube video has adverts. If I follow a link to YouTube, I appear outside the Container and have no adverts but don't get followed by Facebook (they'd need YouTube to co-operate)
