>The North American headquarters for Sig Sauer is only an hour from Boston

NH is a different state and much more friendly to shooting. Also having a corporate HQ doesn't really mean much.

>It's not a big deal at all. Not just in NH, but in MA too.

There's probably a couple pockets in MA further east but for the most part you need to get to the Western edge of Worcester county (which is definitely more than an hour from Boston) before you can be pretty assured none of your neighbors will call the cops. Even then it's kind of iffy because of the laws. You really don't want to have the cops called on you even if you're just target shooting (unlike in NH where getting the cops called wouldn't be a big deal).

>Do you live in New England?

The crappy half. But I've lived all over the east coast.
There won't be "stray bullets" unless you shoot straight up or at high angles, which is a no-no. Otherwise gravity does a great job grounding the lead on your property.
> but I don’t see how you can simply brush away an activity that takes up 1/3 of your time.

But if you've cut down on that, it doesn't.

> I have no desire to have more leisure time to consume content

Other people do. But they also want more leisure time to do up the house, see family, see the world, join a local sports club, pick up a hobby, enjoy life. It's harder to do that around a full time job, especially one with a long commute attached.
Well, anybody starving is immoral. Food theft only hurts profits, not people. Also, ramen is wildly unhealthy being starch and salt with no other nutrients.
You are correct but the particles from tires make a signficant contribution to pollution in the ocean! I neglected to separate that out from the GP's air pollution discussion.

I wonder if there's any depth we've searched where we haven't found life. It looks like life is everywhere we look. Is there anywhere on Earth there isn't some microbe living?
Yeah, got to agree with this article, and not just for the reason mentioned.

No, it's also because the best tool for an expert is often not the best tool for an amateur, and an overly expensive solution that works well for a pro can end up giving you terrible results when a newbie tries to use it. See for instance, Magento, which is perfectly good as an eCommerce solution for large companies with a full team of developers working on the site full time, but will probably be overkill for a small mom and pop business with one far less experienced guy doing the web deveopment side. Or high end audio/video production equipment, which will probably be way too sensitive/finicky for someone without much experience in the field.
> Nobody should be trapped in a country, and nobody's movement should be restricted by their nationality.

What an absurd sense of entitlement. You're not entitled to travel anywhere on earth despite your utopian dreams.
I've noticed this too. Currently visiting Canada and I'd say 70% of the national news coverage is the US which I found really weird. Is there not enough going on in Canada or other parts of the world?

And the best part is the Canadian PM is embroiled in a big scandal, but it's getting less coverage than Covid in the US.

Oh and this article is a fantastic example of that. Why would the CBC decide this is a topic worth writing about?
That's partly bad accounting, where a $1 of useless entertainment or luxury is considered the same as $1 of food or medicine.
I find it hard to empathize with FIRE people [0] because I like my job. But the few I've discussed it with absolutely despise working. Like all-consuming, life-purpose-defining revulsion. And I think there's a feedback loop to it, because in trying to "get it over worth" they increase the intensity and make it worse for themselves. Then it becomes all the more important to get it over with quickly.

I wonder if the European attitude is just more similar to mine, being comfortable with and accepting of a job as a backdrop to build a life around, rather than something intolerable to escape from ASAP at any cost. Probably has to do with the jobs themselves being more comfortable.

When was the last time we "saved the world"? When we invaded Iraq? Vietnam? Assassinated the the democratically elected leaders of Iran, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile?

Seems to me that the world would prefer less "saving the world" on the US's behalf.
It may be worth bearing in mind that one thing police union contracts can and do win as a concession is cities taking on civil liability and paying for legal defenses. The whole system is set up to dismiss and ignore poor behavior because those are the grievance-handling processes designed by police and enshrined in union contracts to serve that purpose.

Police unions have played a major role in protecting union members from management. Or as we call it elsewhere in politics, accountability.

I'm not saying solidarity is bad. I'm saying it's a tool that police unions have weaponized against the general public.
Well, assume you have a graph of progress over time, with 0 being just the mission plan and 1 being a full implemention. Then if your graph had a positive but declining slope, due to depleted funds, and now you get a cash injection, you'll hopefully see an inflection point marking a switch from negative to positive acceleration, towards realizing the mission.

Network effects.

Every marginal dollar spender, dollar acceptor, dollar lender, dollar borrower, dollar investor and dollar investment makes the dollar more attractive to use for all. That makes it more attractive to intermediate, which results in more services around U.S. dollars which keeps the flywheel going. As financial and trading and distribution relationships become more complicated, these advantages grow.

I mean, a lot of the tech industry really is just focused on extracting value from other people's labour, or replacing them altogether.
There has been progress. Firefox is pretty close to Chrome in power usage on macOS now. Safari is still streets ahead of every other browser on power usage though.

Fair enough. Strictness of the model is more accurate than nastiness of the mods.
Is the in-house software just better at fitting the power usage metrics, or does the battery actually last longer with Safari when you let it physically drain out?
Cool, how accessible is that for every person needing food in every instance? Theft in this case is victimless.
Many good points. Would love to see a similar article but focused on using a gaming mouse on Mac. I've never been a fan of the magic mouse's ergonomics...
Maybe as a straw that broke the camel's back. BTC and Ethereum have been poised to move upward for a while now due to market dynamics/cycle reasons. Markets have their own internal dynamics and do not have to be "news" driven.
>don't put a bean counter in charge of a hardware company. Seriously.

Or pull a Boeing and move your management away from having a tech background and moving them half way across the country from the rest of the company too.
Add me in that category. If the company/developer doesn't care enough to put one or two sentences about what's changing, they lose a portion of my trust. Even the annoying "bug fixes and performance enhancements" message is better than nothing. But the "don't worry about what's changing, just keep our app on autoupdate!" message is worse than nothing.
I'm less concerned about inflation between currencies and more concerned about the "hyperinflation" of financial assets due to ZIRP, low debt yields, and extreme multiple expansion for equity.

In particular, I'm curious about the domestic political consequences: if financial assets are inflated to the point where you can only tap a 1% yield in retirement (versus the 3-4% today), what does the typical middle/upper middle class family do? What happens to newcomers in the FIRE movement? High housing costs can be escaped by moving to a LCOL area, but if/when the idea of a privately-funded retirement floats out of reach, how does the overall electorate respond?

>Your data has value.

> Does it. Harbor Freight already knows it's customers are cheapskates

Actually, that's a great example of a company that strategically prices items differently for different customers. Some of their customers are cheapskates and hit up hfqpdb.com and do the math to find the best coupon for every item they buy. Some just use the coupons in the flyer they get in the mail. Some of their customers pay the shelf price. The price essentially adjust to how cheap that particular customer is based on how much time they're willing to spend looking for coupons. Customers who don't care pay an inflated price.

I would bet a large portion of their profit comes from the people in the middle -- who were lured into the store with a coupon and end up buying a bunch of other stuff at inflated prices. I could totally see them being very interested at identifying who those customers are and how to lure them into the store.
> I need you to know that this is not the case.

What is your source or qualification for saying this?

I know of several conservative groups that did infact hold or participate in protests against George Floyd's death in the days after. Pretty much everyone in them agrees, even now, that while the case is not quite as clear-cut as some would have you think, it was still wrong to kneel on his neck for 10 minutes after he was already under control.

The right-libertarian circles have been banging on against the militarization of the police and their unaccountability for decades now. Check out Radley Balko in particular, and the books he's written and the articles for reason.com. That's what conservatives saw this as.

Things did kind of turn over the weeks after. This was when the left's narrative that it was a racism problem took hold, the rhetoric escalated into "Defund the Police", and protests into some areas turned into riots and large-scale property destruction. This caused the right to de-emphasize those concerns and put more emphasis on the defense of the police.

Naturally, the Left is incentivized to dig up the most outrageously extreme version of those arguments and try to portray the entire Right as thinking like that. I do not know you or your ideology, but I suspect your source is Left-wing articles that seek to portray the Right in this way. If so, you ought to be aware that it's never a path to truth to view any group only through the lens of their enemies.
For what it's worth elastic bounce when scrolling to top / bottom of website has never been supported which feels very wrong on macOS. Mozilla doesn't seem to care or not care enough to patch:

From what I can tell scrolling works fine and speed can be adjusted for personal needs in macOS.
For me, the big drain was running Google Chat in Firefox. I switched running GChat using Google’s app and that solved the problem for me. Now the only big drain is WebEx. (This is a work laptop, and my work uses GSuite and WebEx.)
There are exceptions. For example my current employer, a decent-size public company, allows employees to purchase up to one week of extra vacation time each year. (Straight time—equivalent to unpaid time off, but with the cost spread out over the year in the form of reduced pre-tax salary and no change in other benefits.) I've known several coworkers who did the 4-day-week thing for months at a time rather than taking long vacations. They are also open to negotiating shorter hours or alternative schedules.
>It definitely made me wonder how many web servers out there have their performance determined by the rate at which logs can be written to disk.

Let me clarify my point:

1. America having a ton of COVID, and people being trapped - definitely a big problem.

2. Americans not able to travel (and most travel is for pleasure) as much as they would like because other countries temporarily won't accept us, in order to limit their own countries' exposure to COVID: not really a problem, and in fact a rational result of an actual problem (see Point 1).
A critical shortage of cloth?

What's depressing is how politicized the virus has become. How someone feels about the job the WHO has done is probably tied more to their political beliefs than to reality.

If we can't say that the WHO dropped the ball with their mask recommendations then we really can't say anything at all.

I think there is probably an organisation out there that's a better fit for you.

I've seen orgs run 'agile' like a military operation - Jira rules everything, with timesheet plugins so that everyone can account for every part of their day down to 15 minute intervals. Where there is a reprimand for choosing the wrong category of meeting ticket to assign an hour to.

I have seen teams pre-Agile where you were left alone, sometimes for months at a time, to produce... hopefully. Maybe.

But in the middle I've worked for a number of organisations where a status report in the morning scrum of "I'm reading up about X and evaluating Y in preparation for big feature Z next month" is perfectly acceptable.
The correctness of that conjecture depends on what you're averaging over. For example, racism and sexism. Those apparently can persist in the workplace, on average, despite the drag on profits. However, I'd agree that for the average topic, the market does a pretty good job of optimizing behavior.
The MSN brand had some good stuff. MSN messenger, the MSN browser (I loved it). Great work by that team.
Sunglasses are 90% fashion.

Not the ones I buy. I mean, yeah, there's a lot of fashion in those Oakleys but there's a lot of function, too. They don't slip down my nose, the lenses are coated and don't collect as much crap, and the frames don't snap after a year. After fifteen years my oldest Oakleys are still going after less expensive sunglasses have broken or proven unsatisfactory. But those sunglasses also have to stand up to a life of trail running and hiking.

OTOH, if one is just looking to keep the sun out of the eyes while driving, $250 sunglasses might be overkill.

Ah, I had no idea this was a problem for Firefox in particular. One thing I've noticed is my browser uses a lot of energy (fans turn on) when I get on a video call through the browser, and now I'm curious if switching to Chrome or Safari for calls can resolve that.
That’s the most extreme example. I also stopped roller blading because the mid tier blades hurt. Or 20 year old cross country sky’s are bad. I think you should buy the best equipment you can afford. Sell if at loss if you don’t stick to it.
Nothing too special, I worked for a few large tech consulting companies early on in finance but did a bunch of a side development projects/freelance work as well. One of those ended up becoming a full-time gig so jumped ship and went from there.

I don't recall Google ever promising to be a "pure" web search engine, just indexing all the pages.

Quite the opposite, they said the goal was to organize and present information. The goal has always been the most relevant information given the query. Early on, that pretty much always meant a web page. More and more, they already know the answer and can present it with a better UX for the user.

Why should they be required to be a "pure" index of web pages?

Basic question: why is it bad for the US if the dollar stops being the reserve currency?
But you _can_ decide what to send! It's just that the sending is never faster than the speed of light because it always involves the transportation of some physical stuff. In the case of superdense coding, you have to send one half of an entangled particle-pair which can't be done faster than the speed of light. The benefit is that you can send 2 bits of classical information by transporting only one (entangled) qubit.

In case of quantum teleportation, you need to send two bits of classical information via whatever mechanism you want to use which again can't be done faster than the speed of light. The benefit is that you can transport the quantum-state of the sender's qubit.
> How does the user know whether the footnote is a citation or is explanatory?

Used to be that was one of the distinctions between footnotes and end notes. This is an affordance where that lost distinction in ebooks is most felt, I think.

An equally old practice, however, is to use different marks for footnotes versus end notes, and that's something I've felt could be readopted in a digital context. In particular the asterisk, dagger, double dagger, very rare triple dagger symbology was used for foot notes only (as there are only a few such symbols, versus numerals, and they can't be "document global").

In a medium with hyperlinks, symbol uniqueness is less of a problem so asterisks for all footnotes and numbers for end notes is possible.

Similarly, we aren't as limited typographically with what metal we have available in ebooks, we could enlist a much wider variety of symbols (emoji notes, perhaps?), or even pair symbols and numbers.

Perhaps the biggest thing holding us back right now is that publishers want to use the same design tools for both print and ebook (for good reason), but ideas like increasing symbol variety or pairing symbols and numbers are both reasonable options to make it to print as well if they need to be kept close in similarity for ease of production.
Their only obligation, if we take for granted that there are any humans left at Google, is keeping the aforementioned bots powered.

Which is sad, but expected.
