Yes, but it's not clear how much. One of the biggest, most important insights you can have about economics - and even all social orgnization - is that while there is a subset of people who exploit economic opportunities and do things like maximize revenue, the vast majority do not.

Even though there isn't a lot of free money to be had, that's because a small subset are grabbing the free money, not because everyone is grabbing it. Most don't grab it. Most just don't think about stuff like that and make terrible financial choices. That includes your local restaurant as much as your neighbor.

Thus businesses are efficient to the degree that competition forces them to be efficient. No more. Now in some industries, a few businesses that are really well run are able to take so much marketshare that they became huge megafirms. That happens with tradeables, but much less with restaurants, and much much less with landlords. That is why franchise chains and big property management groups are so successful -- they are so much better run and more professional than the typical small time landlord or family owned restaurant.

Btw, this is really the fatal flaw of communism and other communitarian economic approaches. It's not that the economic calculation problem is too hard -- yes, it's hard but you can get a good enough solution with linear programming approaches. But rather, there was no capital market that would remove capital from inefficient firms and give capital to new rivals. Look at Tesla's market cap and compare to the market cap of GM. In a planned economy, there are no Teslas, there is no force pressuring firms to maximize outputs per quantity of input, or to create products that appeal to people. All of that comes from competition and market pressure. Thus a capitalist economy with all products sold by monopolies devolves into a planned economy. But each house is a little monopoly.

So in those areas that are unconstrained, landlords can be driven out of business to some extent. In constrained areas, they cannot. So many stories of cat ladies sitting on huge mansions, slowly letting the mansions rot. Most of the housing stock in SF has water damage due to landlords not doing basic maintenance to protect their investment. This is because there is no one to drive them out of business.

Now the idea of a property tax is that a high tax rate will force them to put the property into good use or at least sell it to someone else who will. But for that to happen at scale, the tax rates would need to be pretty high - higher than is politically feasible. High enough so that you feel like you are only renting the land from the government, rather than owning it, which really takes away autonomy from all but the very rich.

Thus it will have a positive effect for more efficient land use, but that effect is very small unless those taxes are really high.
I've got 20 years of experience and have never bothered with side projects, portfolios or the like. You have to have the confidence to pitch your real experience and let it shine on your CV and at interview, both from a technical and people point of view. That's what hiring managers are looking for from someone who has been in the business for a while.

If you get rejected because you don't have a recent GitHub project, that's their loss, and they don't know what they're missing.
Shameless plug: I recently wrote a blog post on Java 17's new features using the implementation of a tiny actor runtime as the running example. If you are interested you can find it here https://evacchi.github.io/java/records/jbang/2021/10/12/lear...
Not the ivermectin itself but CNN lied about the nature of the issue earlier, and when Joe Rogan point out the CNN's dishonest, Don Lemon distort the nature of their first lie (Note: this time is not the nature of the ivermectin issue) to make the first lie looks not like a lie by cherry picking the conversation and evade the key points of CNN the first lie.
As far as I know, there isn't an official standard for timezone names so you need to define which set of names you are using.

Seriously. Anyone who cares at all about privacy should never have touched Chrome in the first place. The reasons for its existence were obvious from the outset.
Stop intentionally missing the point. It's not about them complying with the law or not, it's about them promising something that they did not deliver on, regardless of whether they couldn't because they didn't know or the lied, it doesn't matter. Customer confidence won't be partially restored without them owning up to it. First by fighting it in court, not pretending like it's all been out of their hand, then by having their system implemented in a way where they could even start secretly logging their users (even to comply legally). Hiding behind fine print and ambiguous wording (like "oh, we said only by default").

ProtonMail fucked up. Badly and majorly. So far the only thing they've proved is that it's not a their main tag line "Secure Email. Based in Switzerland" is basically meaningless bullshit. It's not secure, and they'll backstab their customers without even putting up a fight. There's no sugar coating it, and there's no way to take it back, there's no way to distract the community form.

Their reputation is as good as dead. I feel bad for people who still use it as a "secure" email.

Cybermix – Turn Your 'New Tab' Screen in Chrome into an NFT Gallery
I'm from the Netherlands originally, but also lived and cycled in England, Ireland, and New Zealand.

All the cities I lived in had comparatively decent cycling infrastructure, far from what it's like in NL, but still decent enough.

Now, I've never been to NYC but the problem there was that some people seem to hate cyclists no matter what you do. You can behave 100% correct and with care but you will still get people who feel you ought not to be on the road at all and will still try and drive you off the road no matter what you do, or they will pass you as close as possible just to annoy you, or where there's really no space at all. I've had people stop their cars just to hurl abuse at me, God know why. Things like that.

99.9% of drivers can be perfectly fine and just 0.1% are these kind of people, then you're going to run in to one of them every few days or weeks depending on how much you cycle, simple because you'll easily encounter over a hundred cars in a journey (And in reality, it seems to be far more than 0.1% unfortunately).

It's this kind of aggression, harassment, and violent assault that makes cyclists cycle on pavements. No matter what you do you're going to get shit, and at least on the pavement it's not dangerous.

Hell, on multiple occasions I've received shit for cycling on the cycle path.

You need to be an exceptionally cheerful and positive person to not become somewhat jaded by all of this.

Or let me put it in this way: if a large group of normal people are doing something wrong while performing in just one activity, then there's probably something wrong with the system surrounding that activity and not all of those people.
> Or advocate for open alternatives

Yes, supporting other browsers is a given, but did you want to say "and advocate"? Advocating for alternatives alone will achieve close to nothing when you are faced with a cartel, regulatory action is desperately needed in this industry.
I love tips like this. It's one reason why I watch those TV shows like "Detroit Muscle". They're full of things like that that make working on cars so much easier and more effective.

For example, the usual method for replacing the gasket in an automatic transmission, which is on the bottom of the car, is to remove the transmission. This is because it is impossible to hold all the balls and springs in place to put the cover on while it is upside down. The trick shown is to use a bit of vaseline to "glue" the parts in place. The vaseline will dissolve in the trans fluid and won't affect it. Voila! You save a lot of time.
> The most capital intensive process of your business should be the bottleneck.

Can you explain what this means? You find the bottleneck, then invest the most capital to improve it? Or whatever you're investing the most is the bottleneck? Or something else?
It may just be incidental or irrelevant, but I find the video of the steak cutting to be incredibly unconvincing. It looked like they just pushed apart a piece of well cooked meat like you could do with a spoon and slow cooked pork.
The houses in the newest community are energy neutral/built to passivhaus standards. That’s quite unusual in the US. And much of their food comes from an on-site farm CSA. And they’ve left 90% of the land relatively wild, which should help preserve biodiversity. They’ve still got cars, but they’re certainly doing better than average.
This is a common thing for 911 dispatchers to be trained on. If you call 911 and they ask for “police, fire, or ambulance” and you just start having a normal conversation with them they’ll play along, usually with yes or no questions that can be answered with “yeah, my weekend was great thanks!”

There’s pretty much no need to say your address either. The police will already have your location from the phone call.
Container tabs. Good text rendering. Support for some niche css features, the WebExtension implementation can support more advanced extensions (sidebar, runtime theme modification, dns, etc). shift+right click to bypass websites that block context menus. if a website uses the background-image css property, the firefox context menu will have the correct image options and chrome won't. i can hold ctrl and properly select HTML tables to paste into spreadsheets.

A long time ago all colas were sold as medicine. I suspect that giving kids with a upset stomach cola is a faint cultural echo of those times, with each parent teaching their kids that soda is a cure for upset stomachs even though they took out the cocaine that might do something a century ago. Interestingly in my house the drink used for this was ginger ale.

That being said, the placebo effect is strong. When I was a little kid, I was only allowed to move from bed to the couch once I’d turned the corner on my illness but wasn’t yet ready to go back to school. To this day I move to the couch when sick, and it makes me feel better even though the only plausible mechanism is my own head. I bet a lot of colas given for upset stomachs are in the same category.
Kotlin started out as a better Java but it's more than that now. With Kotlin multiplatform you can compile to JVM, Javascript and Native from the same repository.

Java has been catching up on language features but I'm not sure if I'm ready to switch back to Java for Spring projects yet. Mostly because of nullability, extension methods and coroutines in Kotlin.
Is this delay on the HTML page being served? Or on the associated (ad-loading) scripts?
All the human waste gets specifically concentrated for treatment, usually; so presumably they'd be mitigating larger levels at that point. I'd assume. My experience in that field ends at leech fields and septic lagoons.
That's unfortunate, you should try updating your GPU drivers (if you're on linux there's some different things you need to change). Firefox uses the GPU for more stuff so bad drivers really heck it up.
The last I checked there's a patch that will make it permanent, but of course the patcher itself is labeled as "malware" by plenty of AVs, possibly even Windows Defender itself.

Also, updates will probably revert the changes too.

Is “not wanting to work with surveillance” an example of a political opinion from the left, or from the right? It kinda just seems like a personal preference.
I think a “free market” has to retain some degree of competition and choice. Companies above a certain size (of capitalization) or with natural anti-competitive elements (like network effects) or with ownership of multiple sides of a market or with massive patent war cheats all impede competition. They move the free market away from a competition driven incentive to something more stagnant that can discourage entrepreneurial competitive innovation.
People should be terrified that the "undetectables" are reserved only for the "authorities".

That's so weird. No idea why they restricted that but not the other ways of setting a window to always stay on top. Like whatever Firefox's picture-in-picutre uses.

I previously used something like that to add number of visitors on a repos Readme. Now it shows a broken image icon only because that service has been shut down.

Best option to use it continously is to host your own version and use that instead of the one you are providing.

This is not a correct analogy. There are multiple legitimate and moral usages of ammunition.

A better comparison would be to ask if I would hire someone who worked for the East German Stasi, or someone who had helped to build the systems used to identify, target and kidnap dissidents in mainland China.

Edit: Additionally, no, I would not hire an ammunition manufacturer who produced ammunition knowing that the entirety of his output was exclusively purchased by a government for the exclusive purpose of assassinating those who were non-violently opposed to said government.
If the concept is completely unknown to you, then I can imagine just not realizing it.

My British girlfriend once unplugged my alarm clock because she thought there was no way to use the power plug above that otherwise, my alarm plug was "blocking" that one. I just reversed the socket and put it back in. She felt stupid, but since British plugs can be put in one way only I can understand simply not thinking of that.
Bullshit.

It would sure be helpful if they took some effort to focus less on adding crazy new stuff every 2 days and instead on maintaining older versions for a change.

Maintaining a python dependant system these days is an absolute nightmare, at least with C++ you know that new compilers will be backwards compatible, gah.
My issue with telemetry is it increases the chances of data leakage. I don't care if Microsoft gets data on what commands I'm selecting from the menus. What I do care about is that they record any free-form entries. Let's say they want to know everything I type in the command palette so they can figure out if they should add aliases for certain actions. That doesn't sound too bad until you consider the case where you tried to paste in what you were looking for, but forgot that you had something very personal in the clipboard. Once that happens, you just have to hope that the first person to see it is a good enough person to wipe all traces of that info out.
thanks a lot, not sure why they are trying to hide this one, it isn't that bad... even if most of his answers use scripted answers that are only a bit related to the question.
I mean, was Windows Media Player really that bad?

It is probably the primary reason I told the spouse to “get in the car, we’re going to the Apple Store to buy iPods.” As a Microsoft employee at the time, I’d had my fill of trying to make Microsoft’s shit music player ecosystem work out of some misplaced sense of company loyalty. Playlists wouldn’t sync, and all kinds of that ilk I’ve long since forgotten. And that’s before we get to PlaysForSure…
It's best to do something like

1. config and versions

2. the bug (failure to see expected results

3. how to reproduce in as simple terms as possible

4. any data such as screen shots, core dumps, logs, etc
I remember a story where a journalist sent an email with a tracking pixel to Tim Cook and it reported the user agent as being a Windows PC running Outlook.
In my subjective perception, most of the improvements from AMP came from the fact that all the abusive technology that publishers had amassed on their primary web sites over the past decade or so got temporarily dropped in the forced rewrite.

A non-AMP site could be just as fast as an AMP site (minus the initial prefetching) or even faster by not requiring all the AMP-specific stuff, but in practice, the AMP sites were a minimal rewrite of the full site, leaving behind the popups, autoplaying videos, 40 different trackers, ads from 5 different companies, etc.

AMP overcame the inertia of just leaving all the crap in and incrementally adding more by forcing the rewrite. Over time, as the publishers had more time to crappify the AMP versions too, they became worse.

One more tidbit: In the "When I do this", I find it useful to omit stuff that isn't interesting. Does the thing fail if I do something immediately? Or does it only occur if the application has been dormant for a few minutes? Does it only occur using the mouse, or can I use the keyboard?

Get a good set of steps for reproducing the problem, but wander a little off those steps to see what is actually necessary. I've been surprised more than once when something that I thought was incredibly complex only required a few steps. And also been surprised when a complex repro was actually complex (e.g., if I drag quickly it works, but if I drag slowly it doesn't? what?).
Preach!

This should not be misconstrued as a partisan issue. Those who desire these outcomes will make every attempt to conflate it with one political movement or another. They'll appeal to auth sensibilities and moral panics.

It must be made clear that these represent efforts by the powerful to squash dissent and free society. It is an attack on the rest of humankind.

Not sure if it's you or me. I have a few extensions installed. But I'm fairly confident, especially in TypeScript, that F12 on Windows will jump me to any definition. If I click F12 on code that defines a class or React component, it pops up a window showing me different files & code that is using said class/component.
That's not what the GP is saying though; the employer is not offering a mix (which as what my team almost universally wants) but "we want someone local but will consider remote as a second-place option". The later is the worst scenario for remote as it says there are two classes of employees: co-located, then remote. In this case, RUN!
It is very easy to mess up signed with unsigned then - because they are the same static type. You have to put comments in the code to clarify the interpretation of bits.

I have done what is wrong in God's sight, according to His law. For that, I justly deserve His condemnation. That's guilt.

Even if the penalty costs more than the profit in the cases where they get caught, they'll keep doing it if they don't always get caught.

Or if it allows them to build a hard-to-break market position (see e.g. how Intel destroyed AMD, the fines couldn't undo that).
> They certainly wouldn't have shitcanned the Servo project, really the only possible threat to Google's de facto monopoly over the web and the biggest meaningful way to fight for the open web.

Anyone that followed Servo closely knows it was a dead end. It was literally never going to ship, ever. They freaking started a rewrite of the layout component at some point. Simple pages like google.com kept breaking. It was an R&D project, the good stuff already got merged into gecko (Stylo, WebRender). A lot of top servo contributors and GFX people got moved to Gecko. The project fulfilled its purpose, it made Gecko better.
So do price increases from supply chain shocks. And if you've ever lived paycheck-to-paycheck, you understand that even minor shocks get balloon out of control very quickly because resources are so tightly allocated.

We are just now living through an era where a relatively minor shock is going to have severe implications last several years (which have and will continue to hit the poorest the hardest). This is what happens when you allocate resources too tightly without sufficient slack.
