I run into Firefox compatibility issues waaay more frequently than chrome compatibility issues, for obvious reasons. Even extremely obvious issues, like 2fa login not working on mobile Firefox, are surprisingly common to find, so I'd n

The study isn't (directly) studying sleep so that's hardly a surprise. It's perfectly possible that it's actually the disturbed sleep causing the response, and not the caffeine itself (at least from my brief skim of the

Chronic just means consistently for a long time, not the amount. There's lots of things for which chronic consumption is not bad (like pretty much everything considered healthy).

Isn't that generally true? A company making a billion widgets per year likely gets a way better deal on the materials required to make them than a company making only ten thousand.

20 Mb/s is terrible. Sure, it'll work in some sense, but I'd go mad if that's the best I could get. A good wifi setup is way better than a cabled 20 Mb/s unless you absolutely need consist and better latency for s

Those are different, though. Your statement leaves ambiguity as to who will tend to the objects' needs. Sometimes the implication that you are the one expected to do it is clear, but far from always. People on the spectrum will probabl

Living on lentils for the hope to not have to work in the future, vs immediately not having to work. FIRE requires dedication for a decade or more, UBI is immediate. I don't see how you can find that odd tbh.

Tax deduction for renovations is $5k per year ($7.5k next year). Or well, less now that 1 USD is 11 SEK instead of 10. You make it sound like you can just start a company and hire yourself, and the biggest drawback would be more complicated

Designated rental vs owned properties is one way to do it, although you're not exactly going to reduce the rental costs by doing that, probably the opposite, but you would decrease property prices. Heavily taxing empty properties woul

Skimmed the first report and it seems like employee-owned companies perform better up until around 75 employees, after which there's no benefit? That would explain why they aren't outcompeting the larger companies - their advantag

It's interesting then how cooperatives aren't more popular or more successful. You'd think that if they were significantly more efficient than the typical dictatorship companies then they'd outcompete them, but as far as

Did you adjust for company size? I bet the average s&p 500 company is much larger than they were in the 60s. Doesn't seem strange or unjust to me that a ceo of a $1 trillion market cap company can demand higher pay than one for a

That's a lot of assumptions which may or may not be true, however likely they may seem. There's no telling how another life form may reason, hell it might not even reason at all - perhaps it's some kind of space fungi or viru

Doing studies on this is difficult for many reasons. However, I bet there's a lot of people who noticed a drop in productivity from certain colleagues after the switch to WFH. I personally noticed that the productivity of colleagues

In what sense? Bed bugs don't care whether you're tidy or not, they drink your blood and hide during the day. You can have an absolutely spotless home and flawless personal hygiene and still have bedbugs living in your floorboards

I thought it was pretty funny. An American goes abroad, abuses the system without the slightest hint of remorse, then complains how America's system is much worse. I wonder if there's some correlation between that kind of attitude

Or you know, D) they'd rather keep their own quality of life than significantly reduce it. They wouldn't be able to keep their mostly crime-free, large safety net high trust society with open borders, it's just not possible.

Customers are absolutely fooled by smaller sizes. I've almost fallen for it myself when a coffee package was reduced from 500g to 450. Thankfully I noticed the price per kg was off, but without it I wouldn't have noticed.

Did you read the article? It's specifically new gas cars, so no, everyone doesn't have to buy an EV by 2035. Yes, EV charging networks are far fewer. Today, in 2023. In 2035 the availability is going to be way better, and by 204

Sweden: 24% payroll tax, >30% income tax = 47% tax. Then there's a 25% VAT on most non-food goods, and an extra 20% income tax on any income above $56k. To be fair, 17% of the payroll and income tax are pension contributions (up to

Less cost, sure. Faster to debug? Eh, possibly, in some situations. Faster to deploy though... How could that possibly be true?

Would you really pay $10 for your dishwasher to boot in 1s instead of 4s? I absolutely wouldn't. Maybe $1, but even that is pushing it.
