How did you like the book (compared to the movie)?

Has it really vested at that point then?

Or is it just a longer vesting period?

Free as in speech[0] and beer too!

I'm not sure it was actually Apple's original intention. Rumour has it the decision was made on stage[0]

I don't have any distinct cpu/memory/battery profiling datasets to provide anything but a personal anecdote. I dropped Chrome due to general laptop responsiveness in favour of a combo of Firefox with AdNausem and Privacy Badger. Which, has worked fine for my use (not noticed any adverse battery effects but I've also not been actively monitoring), though I don't use nearly the number of google services you've listed. Your results may differ, I've heard mixed reviews (again, anecdotally, so take with a grain of salt) of google services in firefox and safari.

Which browser? I've had zero problems with 4GB laptops when avoiding Chrome

Could I ask how you dump the highlights to an external service?

Is that true?

systemd is part of freedesktop.org (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) > freedesktop.org is a completely volunteer organisation with no corporate backing or funding stream. We are a member project of Software in the Public Interest, Inc., for the purposes of holding assets.

meanwhile gnome has it's own foundation at https://www.gnome.org/foundation/ > The GNOME Foundation is a non-profit organization that furthers the goals of the GNOME Project, helping it to create a free software computing platform for the general public that is designed to be elegant, efficient, and easy to use.

Would something like pihole not work in this case?

I'd agree with this suggestion, especially if you're willing to put in a bit of legwork to start and learn some of the basics of org-mode.

To me though, one of the killer features of org-mode (compared to some of the other, SaaS product offerings) is that under the hood it's /just/ a plain-text file. You know (unlike the SaaS stuff) it'll be around for 30+ years. To me, it's incredibly valuable when building my own personal information repo/db to know it'll be around as long as I am. Not contingent on a company to remain around or profitable to keep access to my data.

So, you're suggesting that Huawei will develop (possibly from scratch, or from AOSP) and ship a competing mobile OS, create an app ecosystem around it, and maintain their market share... Rather than customers just moving to a different OEM that still has seamless access to android, google play services, and all their apps?

It's got nothing to do with whether or not Bezos can buy a house in a given location. It has to do with examining the existing incentives that led Bezos to buy a home there in the first place, and applying that logic to the requirements of HQ2.

> However, people love highlight reels. That's why Sportscenter is so huge.

Which is rapidly being replaced (to some degree) with things like twitter, instagram, snapchat, subreddits, streamable, and other social media/video streaming websites.

It takes next to no time or effort for somebody to roughly cut a highlight and post it to social media. Meanwhile ESPN sees diminishing returns polishing various replays and putting it in a half hour program that repeats 6+ times every morning. It's to the point every team/league even has their own social media accounts, and post the best highlights themselves. If I can see the major highlights directly from NFL's instagram account, why bother waiting halfway through sportcenter to (maybe) catch the right segment?

> Hong Kong is tricky one

Please elaborate, I'm genuinely interested in why you consider them an, exception(?), or example, to your blanket rule that successful countries have power over others.

> While Estonia is successful considering its past , they are nowhere on the level of other developed Western countries.

So Estonia hasn't met your criteria for a 'successful' country (what is your criteria btw?). Is their relative success compared to neighbouring baltic states a result of them exerting force or power over their neighbours or others? Or something else?

> (yet)

Is the only thing stopping them from becoming successful, exerting force or demonstrating power over others, or are they currently suffering from an oppressive regime doing likewise to them (which is holding them back)?

> To be honest, so is every successful country. That is why they are successful, because they once had or still have power over others.

I'm curious, do you include Hong Kong in that classification? How about Estonia? I'm curious what 'power' you consider those countries have, or exert, over others.

I really wonder how much money Keurig has wasted trying to develop DRM for their machines. Would have been better off putting that money into designing better machines.
