Chrome has the biggest market share (outside of iOS) because it has the more features (that is web APIs) and less bugs, making it the most reliable browser. It is very common to encounter websites or applications which do not work properly in Safari, and web companies and developers are encouraging users to use Chrome because of that.

Here is a rather exhaustive list of all the features that Safari is lacking and which prevent the development of web applications that could compete with native ones: https://infrequently.org/2021/04/progress-delayed/

A lot of companies are deprived access to iOS users because they don't have the financial means to develop applications specifically for iOS. A lot of companies which have the means to develop natives applications have to compromise on the features they develop because development cost is much higher. A lot of companies are losing money because they have to use the app store and give Apple 30% of their revenue while they could use web applications instead and use payment solutions taking less than 5% of commission.

Because of Apple anti-competitive behaviour, iOS users are deprived of applications that just can't exist, deprived of features that companies can't afford to develop because of the high cost of iOS specific development, deprived of applications that could be of better quality if the developers behind it could focus on one codebase, and deprived of cheaper applications and in-app purchases.

They are deprived of the benefit of competition, basically.
Thank you for the answer! Think I missed the grafana related context, but the design document is really instructive.
How can you code if you dont understand what it is you are coding?
It's collected by every Android device on the planet which has background scanning enabled. Have neighbours? Have WiFi? Neighbour has GPS on? They can GPS pinpoint your WiFi by signal strength between the devices that "see" it, then correlate that with the GPS from the devices that are allowing it.

I moved home a few years ago, just 200M away, my location in GMaps, when on WiFi remained at my old address 200M away for a good year (I moved my AP with me and kept the SSID).
You could say the same thing in reverse with the Surface Pro preceding the iPad Pro with its keyboard and stylus, though.

Disclaimer: not a Microsoft fanboy, just intensely skeptical of both of these corporations in general.
But your telephone can tell them who's connected to that access point and what it's IP address is. Then they suddenly know more.
When I was a teenager I would hop from project to project and rarely finish anything. I wouldn't necessarily say it was an addiction so much as I didn't know any better, and I would quit whenever I encountered a sufficiently challenging technical problem, because at that point the excitement waned, and the project actually became difficult. Then it was easy to get excited by a new project, which, in my head, would be all fun and no stress, until I encountered the next major technical challenge.

In order to break out of that pattern I had to recognize that I had a problem and that this pattern existed in the first place. Nowadays, I usually stick to smaller project with a well-defined scope, avoid starting too many projects, etc.

That being said, as a hobbyist, you have no duty to finish anything. In my opinion, it's OK to reassess your priorities from time to time. If you started something, and it's really become too stressful, you're not really sure where it's going anymore, it's OK to put it on ice and move to something else for a while. It's one thing to keep pushing because you really believe you'll be creating something that adds value to the world, it's another thing to punish yourself because hey, you really have to finish this thing, otherwise you're a quitter.

If you're working on a startup, you definitely don't want to quit, particularly if other people depend on you, but if you already have a full-time coding job, you don't want to burn yourself out working on side-projects, which is unfortunately possible. So you also have to learn to respect and accept your limits IMO.
Keep in mind that different ADHD medication might have completely different effects for different patients, and that what works for me might not work for you and vice versa.

That being said, I started with two doses of Ritalin (Methylphenidate) with 30mg in the morning and another 20mg past noon.
And then switched to Elvanse(Lisdexamfetamine) with a single 30mg for the entire day.

I'd describe the difference between the the two (personally, again, mechanisms of action and cause of illness differ between people), as my ADHD being like driving a car with flat tires. The Ritalin gave me a more powerful motor, so I could simply power through the flat tire, while the Elvanse is like a spare tire.

Also as a general note, I prefer to be slightly under-medicated than over-medicated. Ideally I'd take barely enough to make me overcome my inner barrier, and then work from there with taking breaks, going by my own timing, doing sports e.t.c. which then act as a compounding and self reinforcing positive feedback loop.
I wonder if they will force you to have a Microsoft account with the next OS release. So far, you can avoid it (if you try) on windows 10.
How long until Google counters by modifying Google Search's algorithm to lower the rankings of any website with headers that block FLoC?
Trying to block this is a losing battle. The whole privacy-first angle is so disingenuous, too.

Is there a way we can just obfuscate / ruin our data with them?

Like a tool or browser extension I can run that clicks / visits a bunch of random links and totally trashes which "cohort" Google thinks I belong in.

I'd pay for this more than paying to opt-out. Then serve me all the ads you want.
Nice lesson to their students...
I see good arguments for both views. A way to get insights could be discovering an alien civilization math.
But that would contradict the premise, wouldn't it? If an immigrant can "self select" from much worse conditions, why didn't an average poor American? And if it's smth like ability, then how is it not well deserved? :)
One vise man told years ago "The facts are true, the news are fake" - and was ridiculed. And look where we came to with media.
I like that they used term "Machine learning" instead of the hyped "AI".
The quality of content is incredible. I've read 3 blog posts so far and found this particularly relevant for Budibase:

I don't think he's straight up lying, but I do think the truth is probably more than what he's saying.

Like perhaps using AdSense, Google Analytics, Google Sign In, etc, will include a buried implied "opt in" for your site at some point.

Google is quite good at rolling out changes slowly enough to spread out any outrage. Watching the progression of ads take over their SERP pages, it was very slow and subtle. No ads, then just sidebar ads. Then one ad below the first one or two results, then above them, eventually leading to some pages with nothing but ads above the fold. Over many, many years.
I personally think that mountain bikes with slicks make for a great commuting bike. Fast, stable, low maintenance, and shrug off curbs, steps, and potholes. They also tend to be (on average) more upright for better visibility of the road. Also the brakes are available in the up right position, unlike some road bikes. Never know when a car is going to want the piece of road you are on, it's nice to be able to hop onto a curb.

Also MTB's generally accommodate the widest tires, except for fat tire bikes and generally wider tires can be very helpful when commuting for comfort and making things like a random rock or walnut much less exciting when you hit them.

Commuting with rim brakes inevitably destroys the rims, try commuting for 3-5 years then closely inspect your rims, little micro cracks are not uncommon, and will get worse right up until you have a rim failure.

It's also really nice if you do hit something hard enough to knock a wheel out of true, that you still have two working brakes.
hard work 99% leads to more work when you work for somebody else

> wealth and influence can compound over time and groups of people would gain influence, power, and money. And this is the expected outcome of a perfectly meritocratic system.

It is not. In a meritocratic system, children wouldn't inherit resources, access to education would be conditioned purely by merit, and so would access to jobs, finance opportunities etc.

The nepotism rampant (edit: was "inherent") in corporations, government, the finance industry etc. are exactly the things that keep the rich rich and the poor poor.
I've used Airbnb a lot. I've had really incredibly bad experiences with customer support and hosts. I've had a few good experiences. Overall I wish there was a better way to do 1-2 month rentals in the USA. Airbnb is a total coin toss on if the 1-2 months will be great or a nightmare.
I've never owned a smartphone. I have a $12 prepaid flip phone. I will have to replace it soon as Verizon is going to eventually shut off access to the older phones. My only complaint is using a T9 keypad to text, but I rarely text. I might go with a PinePhone if I can find a way to strip it down to almost no apps. Bonus points if they have an engineering firmware that displays cell site/sector debug/handover information.
Literally nothing, IME... XP would be great to have back. (then again, I mostly run Ubuntu for work, so not exactly an "average" Windows user...)
How about making it work on Macs first?

Airdrop is the one component that is completely hit or miss for me.

So convenient when it just “works”. Infuriating when it doesn’t.
Chalmers does not even retain IP from employees, much less students. The case with the students and Volvo was because they were doing a masters thesis at Volvo and Volvo was trying to claim that all IP developed during that belonged to them. However in Europe such agreements are likely invalid, because an agreement always has to be beneficial to both sides, in this case to give up your IP you have to be paid.

It's quite funny that so many here are claiming universities are claiming student IP, but one of the main cases we find is of a company trying to claim IP without paying.
Is anybody else kind of over AirBnb? I loved it for a while, but now prices have gone way up, the "cleaning fees" are exorbitant and make navigating/browsing a minefield, and I've had a few sketchy incidents (which were, admittedly, a side effect of choosing the cheapest place I could find), including one where the apartment manager came in, went through our clothes and _stole the bed_.

I've found myself just using hotels now, there's less hassle - but probably less good stories to tell.
It's about time.

Provided the GDPR now actually gets enforced, this would clean up the web from all the obnoxious consent flows (remember those are not compliant with the GDPR to begin with).

This will also make Facebook and similar monopolies less toxic as they'd have to either obey the law at a loss or start charging for their services, opening themselves up to competition.
What kind of data would you be working with?

What is the expected outcome from processing the data?
Anytime I write in print, I'm slow and janky but cursive seems to flow out of my hand. By default, it's not very legible except to me but I actually appreciate how it looks and it's easy to focus it when writing to someone else. Cursive definitely flows much easier than print. My only gripe with writing in general is that writing left handed excludes me from about 92% of pens that will streak under my hand.
You can disable all the ads. Though it does require digging through the settings.
So, wait. We add this into the headers, and just expect Chrome to respect it?
1. Since there are plans to open source - would be very interested to see benchmarks published alongside code!

2-3. Got it, thanks!
Yes, this exact single moment in my life is often recalled any time the subject of handwriting in cursive comes up.

That essay was a complete mess. I was even thinking of that as I wrote my above post. Hilarious that someone else mentioned it.
> what Europe also doesn't have is a true single market. It has fractured markets, each with a different language, different legal requirements and so on.

I agree with this from a commenter below. In US you have so many more customers that speak your language and have your culture. You can move around and find common issues. One government. One law. So different from the EU.

I do not see a fix until government, law and language becomes unified to a common government, common law and the common language.
As a practical matter, there would need to be exemptions (and usually are). There is closed source software used by government that has no open source equivalent, is unlikely to have an open source equivalent in the foreseeable future for various reasons, and the government has no leverage to force the companies to make their software open source.

Some things can be open source, the government already uses a lot of open source in many countries, but the government has little recourse if providers of critical software capabilities refuse to do business under those terms.
That is not egalitarianism (which would mean something closer to everyone owning the exact same amounts), it is the standard definition of "equality of opportunity".
This must be illegal, right?
It's also some of the Russian oligarch money that came in to western institutions (via shell companies etc - some revealed in the Panama papers) and started influencing the discourse here. Especially in the last 20 years. They finance a lot of the disinformation campaigns, the social division, etc.

In the times of the USSR there were surely influence campaigns, but people were more on the look out for it and there was a common external target, so it was easier to unite the country.
Windows 10 has lost me weekends' worth of experiment data multiple times thanks to its insistence on installing updates on a whim. Windows 7 has never done that. I would call Windows 7 more stable.
I adopted a dog in early March 2020, unrelated to pandemic, because my wife really wanted one. I was on the fence but really unsure about it -- we lived in a 3rd floor walkup, for one, and used to travel a lot so it didn't see like the best idea.

I wish I could say it was a success story but I really haven't enjoyed it. I love the dog but as he got older he got really anti-social with people (the pandemic definitely made it harder to help solve that, sadly). A lot of "dog fun" like having your dog meet your friends, take your dog to a picnic, have your dog running around at your BBQ, just isn't in the cards for us. Taking him on walks is a challenge because he lunges and barks at people walking by. With consistent training we've gotten it under control and generally he's a happy pup but man, it was a huge commitment and a gigantic stressor.
Don't forget to add `_optout` to prevent Windows hoovering it up as well. E.g, `mywifiname_optout_nomap`
I recommend discarding any anecdotes from people who recently started taking stimulants like Adderall, Vyvanse, or Ritalin. The parent comment is correct in that early stimulant usage is associated with euphoria and motivation that do not last.

If someone describes Adderall like the magic drug that Bradley Cooper takes in the movie Limitless, they probably haven't been taking it very long. Tolerance quickly builds to those effects.

People who have been taking Adderall since childhood or for a decade of adult life tend to have more mixed reviews. That's not to say it doesn't have a place in treatment of life-impacting ADHD disorders, but it should be noted that it's not a miracle drug that automatically turns you into a motivated, organized person. Even patients who take stimulants must make an effort to build good time management habits and self-discipline. Those who rely too heavily on the motivating effects of stimulant drugs can end up worse off when they inevitably build tolerance to the euphoric effects and still haven't learned how to manage their ADHD.

I've also noticed a huge uptick in ADHD misinformation in the form of overly broad diagnostic criteria. If you see infographics that describe ADHD symptoms as common behaviors like "have trouble remembering names of new people" or "I sometimes forget to do all of my tasks" then it's likely junk science. Don't confuse normal human behaviors for ADHD. ADHD is something far more debilitating.
I agree, try to play solitaire on win 10.
Thanks for the report- it looks like we had our anti-spam set a little too sensitive. Glad you like the site!
The probably like it because it will let them run whatever they want on end user devices without having to deal with interference from the user.
Amusing as it is, usually piling on to self-deprecation is considered lame.
I disagree. When you’re debugging a blackbox it can be even more frustrating to find out what the issue was. Often some unintuitive, inconsistency that was not documented. Those are not rewarding, because you learn very little from them except to be suspicious.
I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth: a Dad who was a physics professor at Berkeley and a stay at home Mom - lucky!

In order of most important first, what makes people successful: empathy, being grateful and appreciative, intelligence, luck, hard work.

I think that young people get a lot of bad advice, like follow your bliss (I love Joseph Campbell, but he got that one wrong). People should figure out what they are good at, get very good at whatever this is, be kind and helpful to other people, and most importantly be grateful for what you have.
facebook entered europe at the same time as US and there were even a lot of european competitors. It did not really displace them, what happened is their competitors lacked to motivation to outcompete facebook in europe. The only remnant of that era is VK for obvious reasons (both it and Yandex are actually pretty good though not great)
Yup. Windows runs great in a VM for the one or two apps with no Linux equivalent. Windows is just an application runtime.
Well, then nobody would do it. Maybe Google would have to pay them, or give them free stuff.
No custom emoji reactions though in teams.
I was in a 6 figure job as the #2 in a sales office in my early/mid 20's when I got my diagnosis. It changed my life.

I don't take any medication for it. Never have. It felt a lot like when I started going to therapy. I was able to learn more about myself and point to some things that I do as ADHD related. It helped me understand why I am the way I am.
I have an XPS15 and an M1 MacBook Pro sitting side by side all day. I'll concede the MBP is far superior in build quality. The speakers, the trackpad, the body... they're nearly flawless. XPS is running ArchLinux, the Mac is running macOS. The experience between the two is night and day. Having to alias all the stuff that runs in emulation mode, having to deal with The Apple Way. Having file sharing that is spotty at best.... I really hate it. But dang the machine sure is beautiful.
I don't really know what you're on about here, man. You don't want to work, but you don't want to invest your capital either? You want to keep your money in cash and not lose it, but you also don't want the low interest rates that minimize inflation? This is a mish-mash of non-sequiters.

I'm not sure why you want hoarding cash to be viable, other than the vague general idea that that's how the world ought to work. Well, you're right, it's not viable - but there is no villain responsible, that's just a feature of healthy economies. If you imagine a world in which it were, and then imagine what would happen when everyone did it, it may become clear why.
Utterly horrifying.

The entire patent system should be dismantled as it is anti-competitive and a huge block to legitimate innovation and creativity. Patents raise prices and reduce quality on almost every good and service that is not just a commodity.

But to have the government (most universities take tons of government money) start to take ownership of ideas and block private individuals and companies from using those ideas is Orwellian. A true nightmare.

Anything that touches public money should be completely open and free for anyone to use.
As they are free to do.
But but... I just installed Windows 10 last year!

How am I going to get used to it now, if they're already replacing it?
Any device that has GPS and wifi can contribute data positioning that wifi BSSID. Google has Android which will do that for any device that has opted in (presumably, anyone using the feature for better positioning will participate in the collection). Others use other sources.

Google's (and others) stance is likely that cellular and wifi information is publicly broadcast.
How bad can cancer be, if it stays undiagnosed?

There are lots of serious conditions that, if left undiagnosed, are quite damaging or fatal.

Plus, it's often especially difficult to see how psychological/psychiatric problems affect oneself. It's easy to misattribute causes or misunderstand conditions. There are posts in this very discussion that tell how damaging undiagnosed ADHD has been.
Makes sense? After all, you're crossing legal jurisdictions.
We need to fix our economy to encourage the flow of money to productive ideas and individuals.
When most people say they want things to be public, they typically mean "accessible to those who have a legitimate reason to access it, which may include some people I have not explicitly authorized."

Also LinkedIn does have public profile settings which allow some or all of your profile to be visible without an account.

I don't know if there's a special tax in place in Chicago, but AirBnbs have been almost double the price of hotels recently.

Uber/Lyft have been super expensive as well. I wonder if we're seeing that these company's original pricing model was unsustainable, or if something else is going on.
No. FLoC is part of their future/regulation-proofing and ladder-pulling strategy.
As long as you (a) don't publish your project as open source (i.e., keep it private on GitHub) or (b) put a really big fat warning in the README that it's an experiment that may be abandoned at any time and nobody should rely on it, I guess it's ok... but who really does that?
Hmmm. Their customers for Windows are large orgs -- enterprises, universities, governments. This is going to drive them crazy. Again.
My guess it's that the VC subsidies have come to an end and it's time to pay the piper.
Sort of. I have always defined luck as presentation of opportunity. But opportunity is something you are actually capable of taking advantage of. Opportunity is also spotting of 'luck' or making it yourself through work. I see many friends who have incredible opportunities to make their lives better but they never take them as they are blind to the luck they have as they do not understand it. In sales many times they will just cold call people to 'make luck'. It is akin to spam (the spam/scam guys just turned the model up to 11). Just throw as much against the wall and if something sticks it may or may not be an opportunity. Sometimes an opportunity is home run. Many times it is a dud. With 'bad luck' you are given something you do not want but you with the correct actions mitigate the outcomes. That takes work too.

If you do not try at all you are guaranteed an outcome where nothing happens. In fact if you factor in 'bad luck' you are worse off doing nothing as you have not taken action to mitigate negative outcomes.
The changing nature of capital flows
