It was sluggish and hung for no reason. It was super bare boned and still slow. So, if I installed the same number of extensions as I have on Firefox, it would grind to a halt. I guess that's what we get when they prioritize looks or design over functionality.

The most annoying part for me was updates. They supposedly created Edge as a browser decoupled from the OS unlike Internet Explorer. They claimed that with Edge, they would be able to iterate quickly with regular updates - like Chrome.

Yet, for 4 years, updating edge required a major OS update AFAIK.

You're paying for the brand, design, etc. Yes, Apple funds OS development though other sales, but it's not sold separately and new OS releases are free. As far as I understand the law, I can legally install macOS on a machine that did not originally come with it installed (hackintosh), with the caveat that I violate Apple's EULA by doing so.

Microsoft bundles all sorts of software with their OS that can be installed separately for free, does that mean they're actually not free because development is funded through other product sales? A lot of their services have a free tier, are those services not free because there's a paid tier?

Apple's inflated hardware price certainly includes room for funding their OS development, but that doesn't mean the OS isn't free. Windows sales also likely go toward funding things other than OS development, but that doesn't mean that all of their products aren't free if you're running them on Windows.
The "why does this happen" on that page hits on it, at least tangentially. A lot of what's confusing about IEEE floats isn't the inability to represent all rationals in and of itself, it's more that the particular patterns of inaccuracy end up being different between the computer approximation and the approximations we'd make on paper, because of the different numeric bases.
Educate yourself. I like A Random Walk Down Wall Street, Are You A Stock Or A Bond, and Your Money Or Your Life.

Asset allocation is one of the few levers to control risk that you have. The more you have in safe assets (bonds and cash) the less likely to lose money in a downturn. Nothing's free, however, and that stability will cost you long term growth. Only you can figure out what level of risk you can love with (are you ok losing 10% during a downturn? 25%? 50%?). An advisor can help but you need to look in your heart of hearts and determine the number.

If you don't want to educate yourself or need a helping hand, get a fee based financial planner. Last I looked (years ago) was a couple thousand bucks to have a financial assessment. Ouch. But cheap compared to the 1% of assets the other kind of financial planners take annually. More on that here:

And that is truly disturbing, because it is not an implausible future where even Mozilla is finally compelled to rebase Firefox upon yet another Chromium fork, just to stay relevant with the fast-moving, extremely complex web ecosystem. Of course if their market share improves then they'll still be able to exercise relatively significant influence upon the Web's direction, but the big challenge in front of them is expanding their user base. They're in a kind of catch-22 situation I feel... it is going to be difficult to reclaim the slipping ground.
Short answer: Yes you should (If you're in DevOps).

Whenever I feel time anxiety I try to think of Ray Kroc[1]

He didn't get started on his version McDonalds until he was 64, an age that many people would be about to retire.

I'm not a great fan of McDonalds food but if you can start a company like that at 64 you can start anything at any age.

> A character is part of the pleasure a writer wants to give his readers. A character who lives, who says interesting things. I want to give pleasure through language, through the architecture of a book or a sentence and through characters who may be funny, nasty, violent, or all of these. But I’m not the kind of writer who dotes on certain characters and wants readers to do the same. The fact is every writer likes his characters to the degree that he’s able to work out their existence.

This is exactly how I feel about characters in novels. It reminds me of Nabakov, who famously ended a lecture with:

> In this course I have tried to reveal the mechanism of those wonderful toys — literary masterpieces. I have tried to make of you good readers who read books not for the infantile purpose of identifying oneself with the characters, and not for the adolescent purpose of learning to live, and not for the academic purpose of indulging in generalizations. I have tried to teach you to read books for the sake of their form, their visions, their art. I have tried to teach you to feel a shiver of artistic satisfaction, to share not the emotions of the people in the book but the emotions of its author — the joys and difficulties of creation. We did not talk around books, about books; we went to the center of this or that masterpiece, to the live heart of the matter

I think that's basically right: the best way to read a novel is as a dialogue with the author.

DeLillo is the only example of an American who has written about recent history and contemporary American life in a way that resonants with me: unmistakably American, involved, but also detached. He's written about everything from foreign policy (The Names), to academia (White Noise, Ratner's Star), to JFK's assassination (Libra), to the Cold War (Underworld), to finance (Cosmopolis), to 9/11 (Falling Man), to the Iraq War (Point Omega), to start-up culture and worship of technology (Zero K).

Learn about it. I would recommend A Random Walk Down Wall Street [1] and The Boglehead's Guide to Investing [2]. They will give you a good primer, but in essence the best thing you can do it nothing at all. As you get older you'll want to make sure bonds take up a larger percentage of your portfolio, but really you're fine. The old sayings is "time in the market, not timing the market".

I see this too and it worries me. You should rarely have to do this. CRDs tend to get overused. I'd encourage everyone to think twice before adding a custom controller. Vanilla k8s (with cloud-provider integration) is powerful, useful, and complex as it is.
The 4l60 in that Tahoe is on borrowed time. That's on the same order of cost magnitude as a battery.

For people who have to pay other people to do maintenance (i.e. most people) whether or not you buy a POS that eats suspension wear items for breakfast and how anal you are about getting every little scratch fixed will dominate long term cost. A couple grand for a battery or transmission spread out over more than a decade really isn't that much. Shelling out a grand every time your vehicle gets humped by a shopping cart will add up quick.
Wright is not insane, just a conman.

He sued W&K for 20-40 odd million for bitcoin he lent to the partnership, but in lieu of that asked instead for "Bitcoin" IP. This was all done in Australian jurisdiction. He then used the IP as leverage to acquire Australian R&D grants and was almost awarded a significant amount but instead raised alarm bells. ATO/police cracked down, and somehow Wright got involved with other conmen that paid off the remaining ATO debts - and is still trying to prove to the courts he's Satoshi so he can get a bunch of patents through to start suing virtually everyone in the cryptocurrency space (I'm guessing anyway). That's why he's adamant about claiming to be Satoshi rather than give up in court.

Anyway, that's my take.

If you do this, it will prevent you from being any more screwed than anyone else, regardless of market conditions. You will also not become flamboyantly rich overnight in the way that Crypto speculators do.
Best thing you can do is keep it in index funds for now. You're relying on dollar cost averaging to take care of the long term trends in the market. Downturns actually make you money as you're continuing to buy the better deals. If you pull out before you let your money buy these deals, you'll never receive the benefit when the market recovers, where you make the real money. Also, I read somewhere that the best trading days happen in a very short period of time. If you're not in the market during those days, you miss some significant gains.
I like part of this idea but what really needs to happen is CEOs need to spend the same time in jail. They knew their drug was a killer but it made too much money so they sold it anyways. If you or I knowingly sold poison we would be doing life in jail.

If I eat an apple, am I eating vegan food?

If you call anything that isn't carnivore food as "vegan" food, then you're labelling like 90% of our food as "vegan". That's obviously ridiculous, so I think it's more accurate to call food "vegan" when it's being eaten by someone who is respecting vegan principles.

What I mean to say is that I think "vegan food" is defined by the eater, not the makeup of the food.

The comment I replied to complained that the court did not consider that Wright is a "pathological liar" who constantly seeks attention.

The order makes it clear that the court did consider this... against Wright. The Judge writes

telling the truth. When it was favorable to him, Dr. Wright appeared to have an excellent memory
and a scrupulous attention to detail. Otherwise, Dr. Wright was belligerent and evasive."

1. Without giving it much thought, it's probably impossible to prevent "replay" attacks. If I have listed tens of valid signatures, I can use them on my new fake bars on the other side of the world, hoping my fake bar with good signature never meets its genuine alter-ego.

2. This sounds sane and feasible, but I'm not sure how anyone would deal with a bar leaving and then re-entering the system. If I'm a jeweller, I might buy a kilobar and melt it for rings, etc. It's inscribed as having left my seller's stock, just as the bar I bought as a random individual. One bar is meant to reenter the market, the other one not so much... how would you deal with that?
This is the first book I ever bought. I've never been much of a reader, but when I was a teenager, I had 10 Francs to spend (= $1.50) and bought this edition [1] (which also included "The Purloined letter") on a whim, mainly because the story was short.

It took me a few months to actually start reading this book. I was quite fascinated by how analytical the story turned out to be. I guess it suited my more rational mind. I was also surprised that these types of stories actually existed, less focused on characters and the dramatisation of everyday events, more on drawing logical conclusions from real-life puzzles.

As it turns out, this book, first translated by Charles Baudelaire, reached cult-status here in France.

Yeah, I'd say an apple is vegan food. A lot of snacks and things _are_ vegan (or vegetarian).

The interesting thing is vegan/vegetarian _full meals_, which I'd guess is a much lower percentage.
> You don't lose customers by telling them to switch to Chrome

Yes, you do. It might be a very, very small number, so small that you decide not to care about it, but you definitely lose people.

The tricky part is that most companies have no idea how many people they lose and why. It's just marketeers guessing and anecdotal evidence. The number is probably bigger than they think, because generally speaking, marketeers are not the type of persons that about browsers.
The headline neglects to mention that the system is opt in and per-incident, which I think is a critical detail. It's not like police have 24/7 involuntary access to everyone's video.
I use my current YouTube account for two and a half years. In this time period I clicked "Not interested" in the right sidebar with suggestions around 3000 times - very many times, and I keep clicking it. Due to this huge effort, when I watch videos of my interest scope, I mostly receive good suggestions and I'm satisfied with the suggestion system; however when I occasionally watch something unusual to me, I do receive bad suggestions and I keep clicking "Not interested". But already for a year I have not been suggested any "TOP 10 LIFEHACKS", reaction videos of obnoxious clowns, no previews with useless arrows and circles, O-faces, social experiments and pop-music from YouTube's Trending. Whenever I sometimes open YouTube from another computer, I fall into such deep disgust that my face expression twists. Another thing not related to this: I still use old YouTube's theme, it's faster and looks better than this modern "polymer" for touchscreens.

You assume there is a workable strategy. But there's not, and that's the real problem. I don't want to retire "10 years from now" I want to retire as soon as humanly possible. Nothing supports that, however. There are no safe havens for wealth anymore because inflation destroys cash savings and thus pushes you into making risky bets on stocks and shitty bonds.

If you're not part of the in crowd, your savings will get cut in half every decade or so because they can't have you with actual wealth to challenge them, now can they? There is no strategy that gets you where you want to be: Without fear or pain.

So now that you understand that, what is your next move? Might I suggest a revolt?
What about earlier ones? 2008 was a recession because the bottom fell out of the credit market after the subprime bubble popped not because of larger trends so it makes sense that capital investments didn't decline until they just couldn't get credit.

> If I eat an apple, am I eating vegan food?

Well, apples are plants, and the adjective "vegan", when applied to foods, basically just means "plants and fungi", so, by definition, yes. Trivially yes.

But an apple isn't a very interesting case. What's more interesting is what TFA is talking about: an increase in orders of entire meals that contain no animal products from restaurants. It wasn't that long ago that it wasn't even possible to do such a thing at the vast majority of restaurants in Western countries. It may not indicate an increase in the number of people who eat mostly or only vegan food, but it certainly indicates changing attitudes about what qualifies as a proper meal.
