It replaces the millions of ads and trackers on the web with exactly one ad, which is as you say on the new tab screen, that you can turn off in the settings.

There is also Brave Rewards, something that pays you for viewing ads but is disabled by default and can be totally hidden through another setting.

This straightforward set-up isn't something I feel deserves the number of negative comments I see on here. The benefits far outweigh the minor inconvenience of changing two settings.
Yes in some cases the default is quite expensive – the same was there with SQL Azure (though they have changed that recently) and it had created a good amount of bill for us (though for their credit, Azure did refund in all such occasions because we didn't use the capacity at all).
However, I don't know why the alert system doesn't have an option to say "here's my budget, alert me as soon as when my daily pace is set to exceed the monthly budget" instead, you have % of budget amount consumed based alerts, like you can get email if you say 50% of my budget is consumed, which happens every month so kinds of defeat the purpose of an alert.

We ended up creating a simple solution (cloudalarm.in – in beta) that provides such budgeted pace based alert and more ways to get instant alert which isn't possible with usage based alerts.
Congrats. You discovered "note to self"
A data point from my experience. My native language is Spanish, and in +15 years I have only at one job dealt with code in a language other than English (maybe I have been lucky).

I think as a developer one quickly realizes the value of sticking with the defaults (in this case English). Like configuring your system in English to be able to google the error messages; or Excel, which changes key shortcuts based on your language (ctrl+G for Guardar, to Save; ctrl+S in English); checking documentation in English or buying books in English because they are 2-3 years earlier than the local ones.

Using an US keyboard configuration also makes it much easier to type certain common characters in programming, although that might be too much to ask for :)

I’m not sure at all the pandemic is going to be more significant historically. The 9/11 attacks did what Al-Qaeda intended them to - got the USA mired in an expensive, unwinnable war, which ultimately broke the US will to fight and seems to have resulted in a major reconfiguration of US foreign policy.

Yes and yes. The range of colors is limited by our vision, though. A hint at that is that the colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky, cover the full range (red to violet) of our vision. If rainbows only contained a subset of the colors we could see, e.g. from yellow to green, we might better assume that this is all that there are.

> So wouldn't this be determined first by the frequencies of light (is there IR/UV light to refract?) entering the refractive medium

I have photographed IR bands of a rainbow while the visible ones had already faded for example. That was right around sunset, so I suspect it was an extreme form of "red sunset" playing into this.

That is true, but even with a US card in the US, there are vague scenarios where ApplePay requires a signature[1]. So it's problematic using it for unmanned terminals when traveling. I've had trouble traveling internationally and wouldn't trust it taking mass transit without extra time or a backup option.

"The internet", in the sense of the big TCP/IP v4 network we know today, was a DARPA-funded enhancement to the original ARPANET.

The Pentagon owns a big chunk of the internet because the Pentagon paid for the internet, basically. The more interesting bit is how much it they gave away for free, not how much it kept.
I actually tried No Man's Sky on linux few days ago and I had no real performance issues. Everything ran fine on ultra with a 21:9 1440p monitor and a 2080.

I do agree that the performances are no the same than on Windows (15-20% less FPS on average).

I don't know about the official proton for No Man's Sky, but I used the Glorious Eggroll's fork[0].

The most logical tab position is on the left or right, on desktop, because most of the space on a wide screen display is on the horrizontal axis, and you want to reserve as much vertical space as possible for scrolling websites (which happens vertically, and pretty much cannot be changed at this point, as it is baked into the web).

There's an addon for that, but you no longer can hide the default tab bar! So now it just wastes space up there for me. Mozilla... just one day removed the option to hide it. First from the GUI, then from about:config. And also addons can no longer hide it either.
Most of the ill effects come from industrial scale production, which (at least in the USA) probably covers 99% of production. Regarding your personal cow, it does produce (from quick googling) ~220 lbs of methane a year, which seems to trap ~85x as much heat as an equivalent amount of CO2 over a ~20 year timescale, or ~30x as much over a much longer timescale, so that's like releasing ~18700 lbs of CO2 each year in the short term. A gasoline powered car will produce about a pound of CO2 per mile driven, so you can think of your cow as being equivalent to having an extra car that drives 18.7k miles per year (or ~9.5k miles per family). Eating half a cow seems pretty close to driving an extra car.
Get a larger screen and a keyboard (bluetooth typically), and you'll still find you're fighting the platform.

- Memory management means that whatever application you're using at any given moment can vanish, with all its user state.

- Applications are crippled versions of full-desktop variants, where they exist at all. E.g., FennecFox vs. the Firefox browser. Support for user-empowering extensions is limited.

- You. Will. Not. Have. Root. Some devices are rootable. Many are not. This means that whole sections of the OS are not available to you.

- Information is siloed into applicationd databases (inaccessable on the device, since You. Will. Not. Have. Root. --- or worse, maintained on some distant cloud server.)

- The OS itself is not upgradable by you. Android device vendors often provide absolutely no post-purchase OS updates.

- Even power kits are very third-class citizens. Termux, The Only Android App That Does Not Precisely Suck[TM], is useful and powerful but its 1,400 packages are only a minuscule fraction of those available on a full Linux system (Debian contains over 60,000 packages), and are limited in functionality as You. Will. Not. Have. Root.

Numerous affordances and capabilities are simply missing or buggy as all hell.

Using an ebook reader, as an example, with an external keyboard, I cannot enter a space character into a search field as that scrolls the screen rather than editing the search dialogue. Just one of many, many, many cuts in a death by thousands.

Exactly this. There is no "backwards compatible" way to have more addresses in a protocol that's wedded to 32-bit addresses. That's just how numbers work. The protocol with a larger address space will be incompatible, and so anybody who seems surprised/ disappointed hasn't even really thought about the problem.

Build quite a few computers in the past based on their useful wishlist feature.

You can aggregate the parts you need and then find the best offers for all parts within a single shipment, or shipments from different sellers when something is unavailable or cheaper elsewhere.

Not sure about the UX though, it's nice to use if you more or less know what you want and need, to find the cheapest thing within a category or based on required specs and features.

Hopefully your interview process weeds out most of them. Beyond that, companies should be evaluating their devs in the first 3 months. After that length of time you can really know pretty well how good they are at what you want them to be doing.
They are also tropes in old movies and cartoons when someone wants to pretend “there is nothing to see here, I’m just whistling in the wind… minding my own business” maybe throw in some foot shuffling.
The ascetics haven't made much progress in fifty-odd years of trying. I suspect going to extremes makes you less relatable, which makes it hard to influence others, limiting your impact.

This is from the ACLU nagware banner:

"Efforts to erase voting rights, trans rights, and abortion rights for millions of people are escalating across the country. We’re responding on all fronts — from courts to legislatures in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico — but we need your help to win."

Has the mission statement changed? Why are trans people, who are on every front page daily as needing more rights, being dragged into this? Why is Snowden not mentioned?

Seems that organization has been successfully infiltrated as well.
not impossible at all. we just have to wait for the oncoming economic collapse, famine and mass migration. the great part of this whole thing is that the more we double down on the systems that brought us here, the more they will be undermined.

And even if you used internet video (or, heck, even read news online), none of the sources (origins sites and Google and other portals) had the capacity to deal well with the major surge of associated with a event like 9/11. Everything online was spotty or broken under load. 9/11 broke the internet before “breaking the internet” was a thing, and more literally than almost anything since.
No, they totally charge you +$100 for windows, for otherwise identical machines. E.g.

9/11 was my birthday, and I was just outside of NYC in school that day.

I was in math class. The phone in the classroom rang and my teacher turned on the radio (1010 WINS) immediately. After hearing what had happened she broke down in tears because her husband worked in WTC. My parents worked in NYC (as did most of my classmates' parents) and was very concerned.

The school district evacuated the elementary schools to the gym at the middle school because our town had a major dam and there were concerns that could be attacked too, which would've flooded the low-lying areas where the elementary schools are. Eventually, school was dismissed and I ended up at my neighbor's house. Her husband was a FDNY Captain.

So many people I know died or were permanently harmed (physically or mentally) that day.

While nearly every second of that day is permanently etched into my brain, there's one day that's even more vivid. My FDNY Captain neighbor took me to ground zero in early November 2001. I'll never, ever forget the smell of burning flesh and the hundreds of firefighters using rakes looking for human remains. He told me to never forget, and I never will.
When the stars go out, we can live as virtualized entities in a big computer built around a black hole for a few quadrillion years, by using the hawking radiation as energy source. We have like 200 billion years to collect as much matter in our local supercluster as possible. After the black holes evaporated, maybe can use proton decay.

There's nothing technical that stops you from putting business logic in the web client any more than on native (except I guess working with local files, but not many mobile apps do that these days anyway). I'm just saying, if the key benefit is not having to download the app every time you open it, and instead only downloading the actual data as needed (to save on bandwidth), PWAs can serve that usecase (if they're designed to).
Why should we have to show ID in order to board an airplane? Frankly, that's none of the governments business. It's a tyrannical, invasive policy that should be reversed. Instead of doubling down on more of the same big brother overreach, why not fight it?

I use a local equivalent (Tweakers Pricewatch). I've been using this since what feels like the late 90ies, and like you, I never quite saw the appeal of Amazon.

Their selection is of course wider, but it's just unpleasant and a huge time sink every time. But even that a local competitor (bol.com) does better.
