Each company you select shows you how many today's-dollars you'd have today given the "same" initial investment. Given that, it seems to me it would make the most sense for the initial investments to be the same value, i

Oh man, I played this a ton back maybe 15 years ago. I haven't played it in forever and a half, but it's a really solid game and a lot of fun!

Yet here's a drawback: you can't handle cases where the domain doubles both a service that you depend on and as a source of advertising and tracking that you wish to block. Facebook and Google are the two that come most readily to

> ban all tracking That's a whole can of worms. Does the existence of things like your website's Apache request log count as "tracking"? Or does it only count if it's multiple domains? Maybe we'd need to say

I think a big factor is that you don't have an easy choice. Notice it's not "Allow" or "Reject", it's "Allow" or "Ask us not to". The only "Reject" is to flat out not use Face

How did you get Netflix to work with minimal effort? The 400 is still an ARM chipset, right? I know the "rip-arm-widevine-out-of-chrome-os" trick will work, though afaik the only automated way to accomplish this is via Kodi + the

In fairness, deprecating a Linux CLI program basically amounts to a tentative suggestion that you maybe try to find an alternative sometime in the next 20-30 years.

To be clear, I am in complete agreement with every point you've made explicitly in this thread. What I do not agree with is the following implicit claim: An HTML file cannot be a Quine because an HTML file is not a program because HTML

For what it's worth, backing your statement of "it used to be simpler" with an example of how easy it used to be to get the wrong answer does not make for a good argument. The example provided: "how many files in a dir
