Signed exchanges (SXG) allow Google Search to prefetch your content while preserving the user’s privacy. In practice, this means that both AMP and non-AMP results shown on Google Search may prefetch a few key resources (such as HTML, JavaScript, CSS, images, or fonts) in a privacy-preserving manner, if the associated website supports SXG.

Why should the federal government steal Amazon? Surely, it is possible for the government to build another service. I will admit that this is a clever way to kill Amazon. I find the idea of a government running my compute infrastructure to be a terrifyingly bad idea and would seek out someone else.

Well, I personally lived there and personally eate all that meat. And we were not particularly rich, most of people we knew could afford more.

School lunches had meat them 4 days a week, as a rule. All the kids ate school lunches except those with too much allergies.

Scurcy was not norm, that is not true. You also don't get scurvy from not eating meat.

Slab depressurization (essentially creating a partial vacuum under a building's concrete slab floor) can work very well. These days usable radon concentration meters are quite affordable. I used one in a building I own to verify the effectiveness of a slab depressurization system. It reduced measured radiation levels to a small fraction of the baseline. Of course you need a building with a slab foundation to use this technique.

I don't necessarily want a non-professional relationship with everyone I encounter.
I'm quite an introvert.

What I've found is that I tend to try to friends with my co-workers because I'm around them constantly. And I don't try to make friends anywhere else.

Lately, I've been realizing that even though my coworkers like me, and I like them, they are not really my friends. Nobody who leaves the company stays in touch with me. I almost never have contact with them away from work.

I share my hobby stuff with them during work hours, and they seem to enjoy hearing about it and engage with me, but none of them would actually want to join me in those hobbies away from work.

This has me thinking that I should spend less time trying to engage with them, and more time trying to find local groups that share those hobbies.

So, contrary to the article, I don't think "the loneliness of the modern office team member" is actually a problem. I think it's a big hint that they need to seek relationships outside of work instead.
In the US, at least (TIL there's a different style across the pond, so fun), a 'pun-based' clue like that would need a question mark at the end of the clue.

Additionally, I would say that that, because the answer isn't a coherent standalone word/phrase, that particular clue/answer combo would only be found in a puzzle as part of a hidden theme shared by a number of 'special clues' throughout the crossword, with some kind of rule uniting the answers (add 'ne' to the end of a common phrase, for example).

Germany and Belgium have cultural hangups about nuclear that relate to the fact most Germans (and probably also Belgians) felt they'd be the first to die if there was a nuclear war. Not that this excuses them from being reasonable, of course, but it is worth keeping in mind just how occupied by the threat of nuclear annihilation many people in those countries were, and for how long.
I'm curious what kind of access Amazon would have to your data as a retailer running on AWS.

Not in a technical sense, I'm a software engineer, I understand what data _is_ there, but more to the extent of, do they go out of their way to identify you, an AWS customer as a retail business and use that _retail_ data in ways such as described by the original complaint here?

If the answer is anything other than "they definitely don't", I'm concerned.
> e.g. most of the EU's laughably low fines

Which is why in new legislation, fines are proportional - GDPR has fines at max 4% of global yearly revenue or 100 million euros, whichever is higher.
At least for Germany this isn't true, both nuclear and coal are phased out with about the same end date.

On what basis are you making a claim like that? Toyota sells roughly as may vehicles in the US a Ford and more than the other manufacturers. Their cars are in many ways better than their competitors qualitatively and often cheaper. Do you think they are exploiting people?

I could keep listing examples of market leaders that offer better products that are more aligned with consumer preferences, but I'm not sure that's going to convince you.

When I was young, I figgured what would be the big deal smoking a few cigarettes per day. By the time I was 25 I realized that two packs per day was getting out of control.

I don't believe there is any harmful information but the whole picture is that most folks cannot smoke a few per day. Eventually cigarettes will own most smokers.

It's pretty amazing to me how unsophisticated the filters and search criteria are. There are so many products where I'd like to filter or sort on weight (for instance) and it simply isn't possible.

>This is exactly why I'm against both negative bank interest rates, and high inflation.

The reason why we have negative interest and mild inflation (2%-3%) is that the Fed wants the economy of the US to continue to exist in the next 100 years, which is in line with your goals.

Owning a growing share of a shrinking economy is amazing for people born in the past and terrible for people born in the future, owning a shrinking share of a growing economy is acceptable for people born in the past and good for people born in the future. The former is deflation, the latter is inflation.
Sure, and if people don't like one, they are free to move to another country as well. Although this is harder by at least an order of magnitude than switching jobs of course.

Just because you're not friends doesn't mean the relationships are 'superficial'.

I really enjoy the company of my work colleagues.

Especially in a business setting, where it's not all 'heads down work', I think it's kind of important actually.

Professionalism is resonant, being around other people lifts you up, you learn from them, are energized, hopefully in mostly positive ways.

For Engineering work ... I'm worried that young folks won't have the opportunity for good mentors.
If the regulatory compliance situation is such that people aren't finishing structures in order to game it I would be very, very surprised if adding more government to prevent people from using technically unfinished structures fixes it.
It really did not for me by that standard. I have access to orders of magnitude more music now that I know I like than I did during the Winamp days and I was a pretty early and savvy user back then so I had more access than a lot of people.

If we're trading music player performance for the massive increase in availability I'll make that trade.

Any chance there's correlation between a spike in the price of lumber and the cost of housing? As another commenter says, sawmills are capacity-constrained.

New construction being much more expensive would certainly add supply-side pressure. Add to that hesitancy toward showing places during a global pandemic and pent-up demand, and I'm not surprised that the cost of housing is up.

I'd expect that if your local cost-of-living increases were in fact due to inflation, we'd see it broadly across the country, which doesn't seem to be the case. Not to say that there aren't places with significant increases in rent! But it's more likely a local phenomenon than a nationwide one.

https://www.apartmentguide.com/blog/apartment-guide-annual-r... shows the biggest increase is in 2BR apartments at around 5%, but near the 10% that you're experiencing (meanwhile, studios are actually down in price over that same period). That suggests to me that demand is shifting toward larger apartments (perhaps in the context of wanting more WFH space). And, it seems largely driven by less-expensive rental markets -- the biggest declines were expensive places like SF and NYC where people decided there wasn't much value in being in the city when everything was shut down and they didn't need to go to the office.

(Also, YoY comparisons are maybe weird right about now since you're comparing the peak of pandemic fear/uncertainty with us hopefully rounding the corner with broader vaccine uptake and caseloads dropping in the US.)
It would be nice, though, if a site owner could use an offline private key to sign a web bundle, and then instruct browsers to only load their web app if the signature matches its public key.

The key would probably have to be delivered in-band, requiring a TOFU security policy, but that's not so bad.

Ideally the browser would also keep track of which version of the app it loaded last time, and give the user the option of fetching a newer version if one is available, to prevent malicious updates.
You are my new favorite person today.
This kind of "anonymous" work is relatively recent. It's not how humans lived and worked for the majority of our existence. Before the industrial revolution, the vast majority of people worked in agriculture and most definitely knew who they were working with: their family, extended family and neighbors. Similarly, women were socializing while weaving clothes etc.

This atomized "biorobot" view of the employee is quite new and doesn't seem very healthy.
You should have as many savings as the economy demands, right now it demands very little savings. The best choice would be to increase the demand for savings but that would require consumer spending, which then increases demands for investments which increases demand for savings.

I was a smoker for 20 of the 45 I've been alive. Around 1 pack a day.

It was exactly the social aspect of smoking that I liked the most, now that I look back at it.

Smokers have an easier time establishing a bond, when placed in new groups like work or school. They meet up at the designated smoking spot and chat while smoking. It's a great ice breaker.

I found that I had an easier time, when having to do group work, than non-smokers since there was already a loose connection with the other smokers. It was always the non-smokers, who were having difficulty finding group mates.

I now vape on an e-cigarette instead. Still go with the smokers, so I have not lost the social benefits :)

I highly recommend giving e-cigarettes a try, for any of you smokers out there, who are having a difficult time, quitting the habit.

I'm aware that it's in no way healthier, but am convinced that it's less damaging. Anecdotal, yes, but it sure feels like a better alternative. Tried nicotine gum, band-aids etc., but I guess there was more to my addiction than just the nicotine. The rituals of inhaling and fondling with something. It's the only thing that's worked for me.
Sorry for you to hear that :(
I used to see a Metrobus on the Washington, DC, streets, with an advertisement from the German government and listing a lot of German words in common American use. My impression is that most of them made their way into use via Yiddish.

Suppose a bad actor has gotten full access to our Salesforce, deleted everything and emptied out the recycling bin. We need to restore everything.

Luckily, we used the weekly export feature and have all our data, we only need to get it back into Salesforce. But how do we do that?

- Dataloader can only restore one object at a time. We have 350 different objects.

- We need to restore the relationships between objects. They are saved by Id, but we can't keep the original Id. So we have to keep track of the original Id and the new Id for each inserted record, and replace them in every other object. That also means we have to insert the objects in topological order. If there are any cycles or self-relationships (like Account.ParentAccount), we have to fill in the Field with NULL first and update it later.

- Even after all this effort, we still can't recreate the values for autonumbered fields. If it's a custom field, we can change the type to text, insert the values and change it back. For standard fields, there is no practical way to do it. No company can help us, because it's just impossible to do using the Salesforce API.
Why would Verizon want to keep a minority stake in Yahoo? Seems useless to me.
As far as I'm aware, rm -f !(text.txt) isn't enabled by default, at least in bash. You have to enable extended globbing by running 'shopt -s extglob' first (or add it to your profile).

Since very many other people have vastly different experiences, we can conclude that the author is either very lucky, or that the author does encounter problems, but forget them immediately or don’t consider them “problems”. I.e. that the author has confirmation bias.
There is at least a glimmer of a suggestion that the technical solution will be workable. Waymo seems to be doing pretty well, and for all Tesla's fumbles, their autopilot seems to do better than humans on freeways in good conditions, which may someday save a nontrivial fraction of the lives lost in car accidents.

On the other hand, nobody has any idea how to get Americans to change their minds on guns, cars, or red meat, and there is no foreseeable course of action that would work. That's not to say it's impossible, but I don't see how to get from here to there. This isn't a case of people just not knowing that if they drove more carefully they'd be at less risk of dying. Public education is not even remotely sufficient to the task of accomplishing the behavior changes we're talking about. Hell, I bet you could spend a hundred billion dollars and not even get to the point of a solid majority agreeing there's a problem to be solved, much less make any progress on solving it.
Man, I totally could have written this. The big problem is that whole "finding local groups" thing. That just... doesn't happen. Maybe if I lived in a city, but not in the 'burbs. Not when you have a full time job and kids.
I had all kinds of workarounds for that, even a custom zsh thing that tried to automate it as much as possible. Thankfully I no longer have to deal with this :)

A handful of websites I visit periodically have username and password fields readily available....but they are registration forms not login forms, and if you put in your existing credentials, it’ll just tell you that you already have an account and should log in instead. You couldn’t just, you know, log me in with the information I just provided instead of telling me to provide it again on a different page? Drives me up the wall!
We already have that, it is the existing commonplace forward; not the blind forward suggested above, which by definition would strip the original To and Cc fields.

That's vastly inaccurate.

Unless they talk about some really poor Central African countries, it's not a problem in more well off parts of coastal Africa.

> It’s not really about interesting for most people

This is an absolutely ludicrous statement. A very large number of people absolutely do prioritize what is interesting to them when it comes to their career. No one is going to be dirt poor, busking on the streets to make ends meet because they decided to work on self-driving tech. Nor is Tesla in any dire situation that they can't afford to fund their well-paid team of 20-25 ML engineers.

I wrote a Twitter thread[0] on this topic in response to Alex Russell's recent blog post on how Safari on iOS limits the web[1].

My point is: yes it's problematic that Apple prevents any browser diversity on iOS(by not allowing other browser engines than Webkit), however their behaviour is also keeping chromium's dominance in check. Neither of these two things are good, but I think I prefer the acceptable evil of Apple.

Font loader TSRs... Blast from the past there. You don't have to have the font table resident in the "resident" kernel of the TSR, hook timer and 21h and use the timer to check if the VGA font table has been changed; when it has, raise a flag and next 21h hook can safely re-read that data from a file and cram it into video ram again.
