> Browsers are a pretty crowded market and they seem to have reached a certain equilibrium of normie-facing features.

I feel like you could have said the same thing about IE 4.0. It's more like, the incumbents don't care outside of what they need for their own purposes and Mozilla is the one supposed to be doing it but they're not.

Except for the crowded market, but that's not even true now. We've got Firefox and the KHTML lineage and that's about it.

> Unlikely you'll gain traction among regular users who are bagged to use their OS or search vendor's own.

Chrome has 64% market share on desktop despite the proprietors of Edge and Safari having a combined ~90% desktop market share. Firefox itself had 32% market share in 2010. You can get people to switch from the default if they have a reason.

> Perhaps one could gain Mozilla users, though hard to compete against millions of dollars of development (regardless of whether CEO is taking a chunk or not).

The problem is more than the CEO taking too much. They're not actually spending most of the money on making Firefox better.

They should also be spending more of it on marketing, because their funding is directly tied to how many users they have, which keeps going down.
I’m surprised ONLYOFFICE isn’t more popular in more distributions. It’s AGPL, open source, and almost infinitely more intuitive than LibreOffice to anyone coming from Microsoft Office.

But we also built our society to make the car more convenient. Can’t remember the ratio but the amount of parking space available per car is absolutely insane. That means a relatively cheap access to put your giant car almost anywhere you go. Most cities are built around that idea and that makes other form of transportations almost impractical.

So yes the car is convenient but we also built many things to make it more convenient. In places where subways/rapid transit are made more convenient, there’s of course less parking and less road space and naturally % of car ownership goes down

It’s a choice. It’s not naturally always based on the merit of the car.
My sister got bit by one of these when she googled a name brand PC support company that she had used before. The search results included a phone number that connected her to these hackers. From there, they pretty much followed the steps outlined. She lost pretty much a full month's income. Because she withdrew the money herself (to transfer to bitcoin), the bank fraud department wouldn't get involved. (No idea if she contacted the state agencies I recommended.)
You mean when other cars are still moving?

And what is your point, in general? Engines make noise. That's not under dispute.

Usually people/cities appreciate event and tourism business and money (and lament its loss, as during covid) but dislike the crowding and inevitable anti-social behavior that you can run into.

That being said, I've read some positive comments regarding tourists recently, noting that they are often enthusiastic about parts of your town that you might be jaded about or have written off as useless tourist areas but might actually be something that locals could enjoy as well.
Nice. I miss jQuery and Vanilla Js too as opposed to react and using usecallback because of invalidating dom changes because of changing function references.

I don't know why people are downvoting OP's comment. Varoufakis' pyrrhic's, meteoric, and self-aggrandizing term as Greece's minister of finance is well documented, so as his critical role in worsening Greece's critical state during Greece's bailout process. Some things can't be forgotten or whitewashed.
Then why don't we make the shopping cart carry people and suddenly its just a car with a lot of extra steps.

Like, a car _is_ your shopping cart you take to-and-from the grocery store. It also carries you to work and does all sorts of other things.

These "crappier than a car" solutions seem to be from people who haven't really thought this through IMO.

---------

The solution is to have a store walking distance from the house, meaning you don't even take large amounts of groceries home. Why buy a lot of groceries when whatever you want is within walking distance?

When I visited Manila, Philippines, my life was like this. Fresh bread? Just walk to the corner store, no reason to take extra home with me because tomorrow morning it'd be baked fresh again. Why should I spend on 2 pan-de-sal (great tasting Filipino bread btw) for today-and-tomorrow, when I'm planning to walk to the city-corner again to well... do anything anyway? The bus is there, the food is there, breakfast is there, everything is there. Its less convenient to even take anything home outside of eggs or other longer-term goods.

But you need to live _much_ closer together than what Americans are used to. And there needs to be a reason to go "to the corner" (ex: to take the bus or other public transit). Etc. etc. etc. This simply doesn't work in American suburbia.

American City centers, such as New York or Washington DC seem to have figured it out in my experience. But prices for this lifestyle are higher than just buying a car and living in suburbia. So yeah, Americans recognize the value of this lifestyle (despite all of our debate and complaints). But there's not enough space/housing in cities to have enough people live a car-free lifestyle.

> This rarely leads to a theory that stands the test of time.

1. The simplest explanation is usually the best one.

2. The simplest explanation is usually the easiest to comprehend, discuss, and-- if applicable-- test. This leads to faster iteration times on the path toward a fuller understanding of the phenomenon in question. Consequently, it's best to tend toward the simplest explanation, even if that choice is no better than a coin's flip over a more complicated competing explanation for a particular paper.

Number 2 seems intuitive and supported by the best practices in programming. Well, let's say the least bad practices in programming. :)

Number 1 seems ambiguous enough to lead to some kind of cargo cult. Perhaps greatly increasing iteration time after the simplest explanations have been ruled out? E.g., reluctance to fund research into a more complicated explanation in such a case?
AFAIK, 48k was preferred over 44.1k in movie and cinema recordings because it divides evenly by 24. Both 44.1k and 48k are evenly divided by 30 and 60 fps. However, none of that really matters for TV where the actual frame rates are 59.97 and 29.98 to reduce flicker with US household mains frequency.

In the early days of digital audio, and before oversampling was possible, the anti aliasing filters were analog circuitry.

It's very difficult to cheaply implement a 20kHz brick wall filter with a 2kHz sideband.

Doing it in 4kHz yielded better results at the cost of slightly faster ADC designs.

I believe this is why 48kHz designs got the foothold in professional audio circles. The analog parts of those designs were WAY better sounding.

Once oversampling became common and affordable, the anti aliasing filters where implemented much more easily in the digital domain.
There's even a whole game based on this premise.

I have to point out that a lot of people were hired when companies were still saying "as long as your team/organization is ok with working remotely, you don't need to come in office" until they completely changed their mind.

No. That's only 1 of 3 alternatives, the other 2 being stop making hardware, or split in 2.

It's not. Many more would have to rethink their entire business model.

Good point, but that isn't a commercial use, it isn't an attempt to subvert the viewer. In that instance, it is up to the police (or whoever has jurisdiction) to prove it was the celebrity. No different from today really.

I'm a parent of extremely well adjusted kids who have no smartphones, and it's only isolating if the parents aren't involved. By that I mean we can coordinate with friends and friends parents for our children, which is just a good practice anyway.

Call me a helicopter parent if you'd like, but we've found that our kids have strong friend support groups, and all the parents are now friends as well (or at least friendly), thus creating a healthy sort of community.
So the peace of the 19th century saw a period of relative peace (i.e. without great power conflict) that lasted from the congress of Vienna until world war one. There were no nukes, but rather a period which saw the spread of democracy across Europe (but also European colonialism). This was a 99 year long period. The Cold War lasted for less then 50.

What makes you so certain that full scale warfare is so unavoidable if not for nukes?

Secondly, the cold war is over. What I alluded to was that the world would get rid of nukes in the period after the election of Gorbachev, but before the election of Bush. At this point the cold war is pretty much over (if not completely over; and it is certainly over now). And in this post-cold war era, Russia—a nuclear power—invades Ukraine. Why not get rid of nukes now?

And finally, I believe the Earth can be whichever shape an author wants it to be in fiction. Alternative history is fiction, so in your alternative timeline of no nukes causing WW3, the earth may as well be a donut.

Your problem with EVs is that they don’t eliminate the idea of cars? Let me guess, your problem with the Impossible Burger is that it doesn’t eliminate the idea of eating meat?

Entangling ideology with progress is a recipe for getting nothing at all. We see this consistently in climate activism and drug activism. If you try to use a crisis (say, global warming) as a wedge to force your ideology (say, austerity) on the public, you get zero progress on said crisis.
The people who run these scams build them around evergreen money-extraction strategies; buying a 0day just to hack some people they could already socially-engineer their way into the pockets of anyway, would just be a waste of money. Especially since the 0day would only be useful for a couple of days/weeks, and they don't have the in-house technical talent to automate any of what they're doing to run it faster.

I agree with the sibling comment; I think Chrome's solution is terrible. If you have a lot of tabs open from the same website (i.e. with the same favicon), then finding the right tab becomes really tedious. And, even if all the favicons are different, I don't necessarily remember which favicon corresponds to which page.

I can't really compare this with Firefox's native solution though, because I use Sidebery (and I used tree-style tabs before that).
If we think more along the lines that truth is in itself always a moral judgement, then in that light, influencing and informing again become the same thing.

For instance, if I were to say something and you were to disagree, you don't get to say that you're the one that's right and that you're the one that's informing people, and that I'm the evil influencer, without it being a moral judgement.

And if you think that you are actually some sort of oracle of truth, then calling your judgements truths is still a moral judgement, predicated on the belief in your infallibility.
> If the goal was to keep territory they'd have been better off taking Russia's pre-war deal - minsk 2, cede Crimea, pledge to stay out of NATO.

I’m curious about how this new deal would have actually stopped Russia from just invading again in the future to take more land.

Ukraine already had prior to 2014 multiple international agreements with Russia where they promised to respect Ukraines borders and sovereignty and that didn’t stop Russia violating them.

In fact this deal seems to be explicitly about allowing Russia to invade again by pledging them to stay out of defensive alliances that would finally stop and prevent Russian aggression.

> Ukraine only really has the resources to hit propaganda targets behind enemy lines now

Ukraine has destroyed one of the submarines that Russia was using to launch cruise missiles at them and has leveled the Black Sea headquarters effectively.

They are doing what Russia keeps claiming and failing to do (hitting decision making centres).

If you step back a bit from the boots example you can see the boots theory in action.

Consider socks (I know there's another thread that calls this a 'micro-optimization', likely right, but still...).

Never buy a pair of socks. Or, never buy one pair of socks -- buy a few packs, identical, well priced, and ideally on sale. If on sale, buy them now: if they're clearance, you may not get to come back tomorrow. Now you save:

- money: when one sock wears out, you don't need to discard an orphan. Also,
if they are prone to early wearing out, you get enough warning to look for
another sale.

- time: when sorting, you don't need to match individual socks --- the
green ones all match

But a dozen or more pairs of socks looks like an investment when you are on minimum wage.
Considering dreams are essentially natural hallucinations, one wonders about the impact of modern psychedelics. A few hundred years hence, would a similar list have many entries reflecting psychedelic inspiration?

Another feature of forbidding vertical integration is that is prevents companies from competing with their own customers.

LinkedIn forcing me to disclose my phone number to log in? No thanks
I've used Linkedin for over two decades. Now I'm being forced to disclose my mobile number in order to log in.

Given their track record of being hacked, I'm reluctant to share it with them.

Moreover, I'm already inundated with spam phone calls, and I'm not looking for another source. This is a thinly veiled attempt to harvest my data so they can hide it in a page with six dozen toggles which will periodically make my phone number visible to people who buy it if I am not logging into check what they've changed every day. Have you seen how difficult it is to opt-out of email notifications using their website?

If they were actually concerned about my security, they would give me other 2FA options that are more secure, like a Yubikey or authenticator application.

No thanks. I'm done with Linkedin.

Aye. Anything above 39.16 °C would get translated whole-units to 103° F.

Some smartphone, I think it was Apple, had an issue like this where they got weather information in whole units of celsius and translated to Fahrenheit for display at the user's option. Since Celsius is not as fine-grained of a unit, it caused skips of the nature like 68°F to 70°F. Using finer-grained measurements, it would be possible to convert to every whole-unit °F, but it wasn't being done.

They probably would have done the whole remote access scam thing but we were at the airport without any computers.

I'm not sure the European nations were less monarchical at the time of the American Revolution, when the break I spoke of occurred. Most countries that are parliamentary today were monarchical in the 1770s, and many remained so until the early 20th century. If anything, the parliamentary republics we see today were products of the mid-19th century revolutions that sought to overturn those monarchies, with some inspiration from the example of the American revolution.

As for local democracy, police problems are far from the only measure of success (or failure). States, towns, cities and counties in the U.S. still freely elect mayors, councils, judges, sheriffs; they vote on local taxation for schools, libraries, and city, county and state services. Police behavior and oversite are definitely a problem, but not a good example of the whole of local democracy.

It's unfortunate, of course, that there are parts of the U.S. that use the democratic process to remove services as well as fund them. Locally elected legislatures, school boards and city councils use their delegated powers to defund libraries, restrict voting rights and medical services and, of course restrict abortion rights. Democracy means decisions are made you don't agree with.

I would contend that not many Americans think much about this because they haven't needed to. This is the way the country has always worked. On the other hand, you're right, it's not 100%, since there's a growing number of Americans who are using the tools of local democracy to remove and restrict rights and services to citizens.
