But wouldn't the billionaire only be able to do that by continually overpaying for all your assets? I would _love_ to have someone like that around. This is not even a complicated trade.

The web is just much more hostile now. It's not a conspiracy by Google. Over the years the bad actors are chipping away. Now with LLM content it's going to be even harder to pick out the actually useful content, since even humans will have a hard time discerning.

Using civilians as human shields is a war crime. You are advocating for war crimes.

Chrome exists to counter the previous platform browser monopoly from Microsoft, which was holding back the web from being a viable application platform. It was never been about surveillance and doesn't do a very good job of surveillance if that were the goal.

Another commenter noted also that this shouldn't be a bluff. Here's an example of the kind of thing that could be helpful: "I love working here and I can really see continuing my career here for a long time. So I'm really hoping we can come to an agreement so that this makes sense."

This gets them thinking about you as a market participant and not about how small a raise they can give you. Even if you don't have active offers, understanding your value in the market is really important.

In a negotiation, don't focus on what you think is fair. Instead consider your best alternative to negotiated agreement (BATNA). You need to have them believe you have lots of other excellent options, and negotiate against that. One way is of course job offers elsewhere, and usually the best.

A chronograph is any watch with a stopwatch complication. I'm really not sure what your concern with a lever escapement is, as this is used on almost all mechanical watches.

Jerk is by definition how fast the acceleration changes. And it's true that there is more delay in ICE engines before you get full power and thus the acceleration changes more slowly.

What about the cost of the power and cooling to run the machine (a lot!), and the staff to keep it running?

Frankly it's harder to come up with examples where it's actually just a Pareto improvement that was undiscovered until considering accessibility. This isn't to say that this is not worthwhile anyway to make tradeoffs but claiming that tradeoffs don't exist is just magical thinking.

Some obvious examples (even ignoring higher cost, since they are all also higher cost):

* Coloring for colorblind people is worse for people with normal vision.

* Large format type is cumbersome for people with normal vision.

* Traffic signals that are long enough for the elderly to cross cost everyone time every time they are used.

* Stalls in bathrooms suitable for disabled people means fewer stalls can fit.

* Ramps for wheelchairs require way more space than stairs and take much longer to traverse.

Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't do these things.

I think the biggest weakness of spreadsheets is version control and testing. This really limits the potential for results that are both complex and correct.

There are some lucky circumstances where this is true, but most such accommodations are not like that. Usually some trade-off must be made, in cost or in functionality. For example, with those same cut curbs, we now need to put a bumpy panel to allow blind and visually impaired people to feel the transition from curb to street, but these make the cut much worse for anything with wheels.

53 people across 13 launches for SpaceX

Something independent and cross platform like bitwarden.

Some very recent evidence suggests that such jets may exist for Sagittarius A*: https://www.livescience.com/space/black-holes/milky-ways-mon...

Formatting ok for me. Maybe it just doesn't work with Safari? (Chrome on I phone is Safari with skin)

You also need the unreasonable barriers to entry for the scam to work. Otherwise new entrants would still drive down the price. So the FDA is doing its part to keep prices high.

This is literally true right now that we require electric cars to make noise.

Gemini and Gemini Advanced both get this right

(Edit: I initially thought Gemini got it wrong but I read the answer again and it's actually right!)

This American Life is from PRI not NPR. Radiolab is NPR however, though of course not really news-focused.

One thing that jumps out is that being held back in school is one of the "adverse experiences" that will cause poor performance later. But of course being held back in school is what happens when your school performance is poor, so this seems backward. All of these things just seem to be proxies for "your parents are rich".

You can't just use old versions of software. You need security fixes, dependency updates, etc just to keep it running

Incognito mode and other private browsing modes can only change the local behavior of your browser. They cannot magically cause web sites to treat you in any specific way.

Firefox private browsing is implemented almost identically to Chrome incognito mode and will not offer any meaningfully better privacy. Both will not save cookies and browsing data locally, but both can be tracked by the remote sites you access.

Worth noting that most of the homeless population in California is from California: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/california... (https://archive.is/gm1wq)

It seems our problems with homelessness stem mostly from high housing costs and our dysfunctional homeless industrial complex.

It's not just fictional media. https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-vcrs/infiltrated-l....

I think you're somewhat missing the idea here. It's _not_ saying that China-sensitive topics are less popular on TikTok than Insta. It's saying that the difference between TikTok and Insta is _hugely greater_ for China hot-button issues than it is for other topics.

It doesn't really matter how the hash tags are chosen; the fact that this is uniformly true, by a lot, for all the obvious hash tags you might pick is damning evidence.

Spying and data collection isn't remotely the main concern. The main concern is control over how Americans consume information.

See e.g. https://networkcontagion.us/wp-content/uploads/A-Tik-Tok-ing...

"The conclusions of our research are clear: Whether content is promoted or muted onTikTok appears to depend on whether it is aligned or opposed to the interests of the Chinese Government. As the summary data graph below illustrates, the percentages of TikTok posts out of Instagram posts are consistently range-bound for general political and pop-culture topics, but completely out-of-bounds for topics sensitive to the Chinese Government."

It's not even theoretical. This is happening now.

Mostly Apple wants to ensure that PWAs can't emerge as a viable option. As long as they're on WebKit, they can ensure that the apps are limited in their functionality.
