I hear that a lot about Singapore. The thing most people don't seem to realise is that in 1960 Singapore was essentially a giant slum. All these "collective" behaviours have appeared since then helped along by government camp

That's why I added the "in theory" caveat : ) I still think a shift would matter. There is some evidence for this in the UK because homeowners generally vote Conservative, but people are becoming homeowners later in life and

There are detached homes in Singapore - their price and taxes just reflect the fact that about a hundred people would normally be living on the same ground, and those people have to be compensated. I think a fairer comparison in terms of re

In practice, that's not so far from what schools do.

I think zoning, especially single-use zoning, is much less common outside of the US. So I don't think it accounts for the global success of AirBnB.

Frankly I think it's more likely that they took it down because they want to sell more books: https://shop.economist.com/products/the-economist-style-guid... The book has almost identical content from what I recal

Yeah - perhaps you missed it, but it says "Keep in mind George Orwell's six elementary rules ("Politics and the English Language", 1946)" just before it enumerates them. I think lots of good style guides quote them.

Their style guide is available on the Wayback Machine [1]. The first few pages of the introduction are well worth a read. [1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20021031104254/http://www.econom...

There seems to be some confusion in the comments here. Rockstar Leeds [1] worked on mobile games (like the excellent GTA: Chinatown Wars) and ports of games from other Rockstar studios. It was founded as Möbius Entertainment and rebranded a

I see where you're coming from, but having to press back twice quickly to get back to the page I actually came from is very annoying. It's essentially impossible on mobile. Perhaps browsers should disable redirection on pages that

I wonder why they don't use `location.replace` [1]. It isn't exactly new. Edit: ah, I see, it doesn't work for changing domains. Still, they could use e.g. bbc.co.uk/[country-code]/ as many other sites do. [1]: htt

You can look at French hiking maps online at https://www.geoportail.gouv.fr/carte - I find it works well for planning a route and then I use OSM when I'm actually doing the hike.

You can absolutely spend $1000 on Tridactyl if you want [1] :) The main reason Tridactyl is still developed is because some people pay for it. Without them, I wouldn't be able to afford to. [1]: https://github.com/spons

Hmm, was it opening with a different file encoding before? You can `:set editorcmd` to something that gives gVim more commands, like is mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/tridactyl/native_messenger/issues&

When you short a share, you borrow a share from someone who owns it and sell that share to someone else. If the person who bought the shorted share lends it to someone else to short, one share has been shorted twice.

No promises that that's actually the right flag. I had a rummage around searchfox and it looks like that just enables extensions that have been placed in special directories (whether they must be signed or not is a different flag). The

I don't think this is is true for the official Mozilla builds (except for Nightly, Beta and unbranded). It's possible that your distro has a custom build that allows the setting. Arch builds Firefox with `--allow-addon-sideload` w

This is true but misleading: the extension you install from file has to be signed by Mozilla in exactly the same way that extensions on the store are signed.

You can use unbranded builds which are pretty much identical to the stable releases but let you use unsigned extensions. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded...

Can't you put Tridactyl in ignore mode with Shift-Insert? Edit: you may also find `:blacklistadd` or `:unbindurl` useful.
