In most cases it is adequate. But there are a couple factors to consider:

1) OpenXML is an open standard and like HTML it is interpreted and rendered, much like a browser. MS Word is obviously the reference here. But in certain cases, you will see differences when using other renderers. If you wrote the document in Word and then view it in LibreOffice or wherever, those differences are going to seem pretty glaring. It's possible to fix your document to not run into these issues, but because OpenXML has cascading styles and Word can often times produce quite messy output, it's hard to know what is going to not work well. It has taken the web 20+ years to get to a place where the difference between renderers is small enough to not be a big headache.

2) In OpenXML there is no concept of a page. Everything is relative and only at render time do you know how it looks. PDFs do have a concept of a page and are absolute - so that translation can be quite important and another source of rendering issues. An example of this is in Excel: people do need to print spreadsheets and if you want it to not look obnoxious you have to fiddle with the settings to get everything looking good. If you convert a spreadsheet to PDF you're more or less doing the same thing. However, in an automated context you can't make the judgements needed to make it look good - so you will often times end up with PDFs that have hundreds and hundreds of pages and look awful.

For 1) Microsoft could just release an API or some kind of package that gives you the output that matches Word and it would solve all of this. But at that point OpenXML ceases to be really open because nobody would want to use anything else. For 2) That's a lot harder to solve.
Sure. I can get onboard with that. In this case, the company should not claim that the beef is a product of a single country. The issue I think is that sellers realize that people don't always want food shipped from halfway around the world-- so they obfuscate.
What are you putting your trust into? A set of links and list of extensions. If you use the browser to visit these links and use the extensions then they already have all that info about you.

As for mixing work and personal. You can setup multiple accounts and switch between them. And I don't see what the amount of bookmarks has to do with anything, it just brings up relative things faster if you have them bookmarked.

Feels almost like you are just trying to come up with reasons to dismiss useful feature.

You may be right about that, but a smartphone had a definition back in the day. There were touchscreens on non-smartphones and there were smartphones without a touchscreen, it's the software that makes it smart, not the hardware, whatever the man on the street says.

The US didn't get the penetration the rest of the world had by Nokia and others so you folks had a raw deal and shitty carrier-neutered phones until Apple came along.

I'd say they are, but the real issue to Apple is how this or that format will affect their users and how it will portray their products. That is, whether or not they can decode the format without the device running hot, noisy and out of battery in 45 minutes. They like H.264/H.265 because users can decode them with high power-efficiency due to GPU- and dedicated hardware support. This is one of the greater benefits of formats that the whole world accepts and adopts.

Same here. Cloudflare DNS doesn't seem to resolve it.
Let's take this to the extreme, do you think you have a right to set up a commercial kitchen in your home, and set up patio furniture for random people to show up and order take out?

Don't you see an issue of every single person decides to do this in your neighborhood, traffic being the first thing.

The other issue too, is most people are renting out apartments, and then Airbnbing them. Like, at that point it's not your property, you're just granted temporary permission to use it. Likewise, most condo boards don't want you to use your property as an Airbnb.
The author buried the lede. Zillow came up with a model to choose bid and ask prices. The model said, "Don't buy". They didn't believe the model and chased the deal, and lost money.

so, when fastmail compare fastmail and protonmail they (surprise) end up concluding that fastmail is better.

might be, but I'd prefer to hear it from someone else.
NordVPN is pretty hard to cancel as well
This kind of misses the entire value of Protonmail - that they encrypt all of your data at rest using your key, not theirs.

> Fastmail’s email search features also allows you to search for emails based on their content or attachments; ProtonMail’s search function doesn’t let you search through email contents unless you ask it to download all your email to your browser’s cache.

That's inconvenient, but entirely the evidence that they're storing your data correctly. If they could build indexes of your email contents, that would defeat the purpose of private email.

At the end of the day, if Fastmail gets breached they take everything. If Protonmail gets breached they take email datetimes and subject lines.
Well Georgism says land deserves special treatment because "downtown San Francisco land" is a finite resource you can't make more of. Perhaps that would also apply to tech "real estate" like, 3 letter .com domains?

But I think a lot of big tech's expenses are engineer salaries in High Cost of Living areas, which really does come down to landowners preventing housing construction there.
Judging by the content of the article, the title should have been: Why Fastmail Is Better Than ProtonMail.

Not necessarily a bad thing. I genuinely don't know which is better. But under each heading there are three paragraphs talking about Fastmail and one for ProtonMail, so I wouldn't exactly call it balanced.
It means they have cash in a bank account ready to go. Maybe they took out a loan against other assets to obtain the cash, but a "cash offer" is literally the person is handing over a cashier's check at closing.

This means there is 0% chance of the deal falling through. Not almost no risk, none at all. Failure to follow through with the deal would be breach of contract and the buyer is liable for damages, up-to-and-including, being forced to hand over the money for the house.
That's just a lease. Leases have fixed terms. When the lease is up either side can give 30 days notice that they will not be renewing. That is true even in places with minimal to no tenant protection laws.

In a tenant protection environment, the tenant has the option to cancel when the lease ends, but the landlord does not. Regardless of where you are in the contract cycle, the landlord's only way to end the contract is through an eviction, and he will have to prove in court that the situation meets one of the lawful bases for eviction.
> This is why you shouldn't get your medical advice from Joe Rogan.

I mean, you should never really take advice from any expert that isn't sitting in front of you, imo. Podcasts exist to gather views and often incorporate bias and misinformation in various forms to achieve those ends. They're no different from listening to Tucker Carlson or Rachel Maddow in terms of information quality; they may interview SMEs but at the end of the day the way they interview them and the subjects they focus on matter much more if you're not a discerning person on a given subject.

When I listen to podcasts, even ones that try to give good information like Freakonomics, I always listen to them for entertainment first. It's like maintaining boundaries with your information sources.
> Courts constantly make rulings on issues where the boundaries are somewhat blurry.

Do you consider that to be a good thing, though? Or, at least, a net good?

My own initial intuition was that it's not OK to add "Product of the USA" to the label if the intention is to mislead the consumer, but there may be other things at play that determine what must or must not be on the label, e.g. tax-related considerations, which, if you ask me, are also frequently arbitrary.

Also, keep in mind that a label with a full history might create information pollution, like with CA Prop 65 labels.
As we are discussing layouts, I would like to point to a bigger problem (in my opinion) with keyboards: they don't have enough keys.

Let me explain. While Latin alphabet has only 26 letters, many languages have more of them. For example, Russian alphabet has 33 letters. Therefore, to fit these letters there must be 7 more keys. But we also need two keys to switch layouts - so in total there should be 9 extra keys.

Sadly, manufacturers (including Apple that claims to "think different", but in this case thinks exactly the same as PC vendors) don't want to add even a single key, instead they put extra letters onto keys with symbols, so you have to switch layouts to type those symbols. Furthermore, several characters like period or comma are located on different keys in different layouts. Guess, how easy it becomes to make a mistake.

Switching layouts is inconvenient. Instead of having two dedicated keys for switching to each language, OS vendors add single switching combination like Shift + Alt (Windows) or Cmd + Space (Mac). Also, on keyboard itself there is no indication that these keys can switch layout.

One could argue that it is difficult to find more space on laptops. Well, I think that this can be solved somehow. For example, one could add an extra row. But it is absolutely possible on desktop PC keyboards, and yet nobody is doing this.
I feel this is happening in the automotive space. Companies like carlots and carvana have been completely swallowing up all supply and driving prices up well beyond fair value.
A nice comparison. The tipping point for my choosing fastmail over protonmail was that protonmail limits custom domains to a single domain. I have multiple domains and want(ed) the ability to setup email for all the different domains in a single place.

Yes, and this would really be awful in the short term, but in the medium term medicine companies would just spin up more production until the "very wealthy people" demand has been met and medicine becomes available again at some reasonable price.

The fact that this is very likely prevents most of the speculation in the first place.

The difference with real estate is that the owners get to determine production levels, via local zoning laws.

Sure, there is some natural scarcity: Land cannot be created, but in most cases artificial scarcity is the issue.
To be fair, it's doable as a senior or staff engineer at a big company earning 300 to 500k/yr. I'm (lucky enough to be) in that range and qualified for a $1.5M loan. Combined with 500k for a down payment, you can see how those $2M houses are technically affordable. For now.

Think about this: land value appreciation is so crazy that you can not charge rent and still make enough money that a property has a good return on investment.
Just buy what you need when you need it.

If you can't buy the hardware you need at an acceptable price, your real problem is that the software you need doesn't run on another platform. That's a much more solvable problem.
>That starts with phasing the purchase and deployment of electric school buses — which still cost two to three times more than their diesel counterparts — to take advantage of expected declines in cost over the coming years, McIntyre said.

On the Weaponisation of Open Source
For me the most interesting connections have happened in the least-expected ways, which means I can’t give a good answer.

Many years ago I suffered from painful shyness. A friend who did not have that problem told me to try acting “not shy.” He suggested I go out of my way to talk to at least one stranger every day, even if just to ask a question that might start a conversation. “What’s the best coffee (food, drink, etc.) here?” At a bar I will ask the bartender to give me a shot of her favorite whiskey or tequila, then ask why that’s her favorite. That kind of thing. I have started some good conversations and met some great people that way. And over time the shyness receded as well.

In general people love to talk, and many people feel lonely and want to connect, so they welcome someone who makes the first move as long as it’s not creepy or intrusive. You have to read the situation of course, but a smile and sincere question or comment can work most of the time.

Not very many. Consumers mostly go to the store and grab whatever. Very few even read the label.
In the old days (WEP era), there was a coffee shop in [mumble] where a bunch of execs from several competing companies would hang out.

Everyone would be careful to protect their screens from snooping, but a lot of folks would connect to POP mail servers without concern.

Wireshark was hard to run on anything but Linux in those days, and WiFi on Linux could be hard to get stable except on certain hardware, but it could be done.

Today, I don't imagine Wireshark would show you much of interest on a WPA2 WiFi network.

There's a lot of power in stories. Even today, on social media someone can make or break your reputation with a single post. A difference today is that you can fact check things much more easily. Historically, it's not hard to believe that professional story tellers had tremendous power. They could make or break the validity of a ruler's claim to his rule, they could "explain" natural phenomena, and essentially create an world beyond they knowledge of the audience where they had done fantastical things.
> show up at the door with $1k in cash

In SF, there have been six-figure buyouts to remove tenants from rent-controlled properties.
It's definitely happening, also compounded by chip shortages and supply chain issues. I've leased the last six years but only in the 8 months have I had dealerships calling me with offers to buy out my lease just to get the car back early.
> I sometimes get the trial to ship something to my parents.

So you're abusing a trial to get something for free that actually costs the company money.

But then you complain that the company tries hard to keep you from cancelling the trial? How does that make any sense?

You are well within your ethical rights to take advantage of a trial offer. And the company is well within their ethical rights to try to convince you to stay. Three clicks online to cancel is hardly a burden.
Could you not put ejection conditions in the lease itself? (SF resident here, but with no experience in landlording). I'm wondering why can't a landlord put in the lease a term like "if tenant does not pay rent for 30 days, tenant gives up all of his rights and landlord has the right to eject tenant within 15 days".

> The restrictive zoning laws are at the local level, not the state level.

True, but the restrictive zoning laws are made possible at the state level.

A thread here on HN a few weeks ago mentioned Japan which they described as having basically 5 classifications for "types of things you can do on land you own", ranging from "essentially anything at all" to "notable limitations". Within whatever classification your land is given, you can do whatever you want, local neighborhood be damned.

I don't know if that's an accurate description, but it sounds like a system with a very different set of tradeoffs than the one found across the USA.

Any time that you’re working with imperfect knowledge and trying to operate a business on a large scale, you’re likely to run into this kind of trouble.

Can we admit that this is a major problem with the "AI" search algorithms operated by Google, Amazon, and others?

They are assigning "value" to content, or books, or whatever based on an incomplete understanding of the market. It's made even worse because so many owners are able to game the system.
Because very often the reason you're selling a house is that you're buying a house, and so you need 100% of the value of the sale to go towards your new deposit. It's no good having 75% of the cash now, you need it all as a deposit and the mortgage company isn't going to take the risk that that 25% turns up eventually.
> In a tenant protection environment, landlords cannot just decline to renew leases.

Unless we're talking about some rent controlled context, where in the US is this law?
<Insert boilerplate disclaimer about your threat model here>

The short answer is no, despite what the VPN sponsor of your favorite YT videos might say. This is actually a good question to ask if you want to assess how up-to-date someone's infosec knowledge is. In a few sentences, you can tell if they're just regurgitating the classic scary myths about public WiFis or have a more nuanced take* that boils down to 'no' (bonus points if they go on a tangent about how cool WiFi deauth attacks are).

Thing is if people start hoarding medicine then new companies can pop up and fill in the gap, or existing ones can increase production, making the whole thing pointless to do. Same goes for every other "necessary to life" product. Temporary disruptions will be handled by the market in the long term, and in the worst case government can step in and regulate. Housing is probably the only sector where all the laws and regulations work the other way – to actively stop you from building more of something that everyone needs.
I am guessing they don't save the price history as snapshots. They have the current estimate, and then they walk it back in time from the market averages.
