The pay differential between CEO's and workers in the US is larger than that in the Netherlands, which is larger than that in Germany. In general, high earners earn more in the US, which includes both CEO's and SWE (but the point

It's not accurate at all - in comparison to the US . Obviously management having a pay disparity is common (which is in itself interesting, and economically not that obvious - more likely a social effect of a hierarchy), but the di

Hey no need to twist words - I think the use of bluetooth controls for desktop browser media playback is an edgecase. On windows at least, most people use the website directly, not via media buttons - I'm not sure I've ever seen

You've got to admit that's a pretty hyper-specific feature there. It shouldn't surprise you that many users haven't run into it. But a quick google finds an add-on for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/e

The judiciary is not the ultimate arbiter of what is lawful; that is congress. Not only can congress simply impeach the entire court, it can also replace almost all articles of the constitution* (and the few that formally cannot be replac

That's not a convincing argument, because it's pretty reasonable for a several orders of magnituge wealthier country to outspend a smaller economy on all kinds of stuff (including their entire GDP). Do you have a better example?

That's not weird is it? I'd expect a normal, peaceful society to have less need for soldiers than police agents, and portugal is approximately as large as NYC, and not as wealthy: makes sense their military is smaller than NYC&#

The point is pretty incoherent then, because they're proving that indeed it's reasonable for the federal judiciary to have a larger budget and thus not demonstrating that comparing budgets leads to absurdity.

Yeah, so I think this is pretty much the a kind of scenario the feature is designed to break - an essentially stock browser navigating to some site, that can then wrap a trusted site, and potentially be a stepping stone for phishing or ot

I don't really think that's it; I think people just don't believe their personal choice of browser is going to make enough of a difference to privacy and competition to actually positively affect them; they just don't ca

You should probably also do that in a separate FF profile, which is easy enough. After all, you probably shouldn't disable security/privacy features like this for your normal browsing.

In general: Use a custom proxy instead of using your browser as a proxy, in essence. I'm curious too - what's the use case for this? Why would you want to iframe linkedin?

You're going to have to replace the equipment; dongles are a at best a limited workaround (basically you need to glue to dongle to the headphone or certainly never take it out of the respective device, otherwise it's too much ha

That is a good point. I've always been a little hesitant with repairs like that because I'm unsure how much longer it'll let the phone last, but at least the SE is still getting iOS 14, so... a while?
525.
by emn13 6y ago
Only anecdotally, but old iphones (more than 3 years old, such as in my case the original iphone SE) have poor enough battery life expectancy that I'm not sure I'd call longevity a big win for iOS.

I'm kind of curious why the headphone matters? I was mildly annoyed when phones dropped the jack, but you know... get a set of bluetooth headphones, what's the problem? Frankly, not having to bother with the wires is simply a pl

I'm not so sure about that line of reasoning; you're focusing on the size of the community (and sure, small communities online can be extremely dangerous!) but the nasty examples you're likely thinking of allow self-selecti

It really only assumes the solution gets better if you throw more money at it. And that, frankly, is essentially certain given the fact that they need to pay for human eyeballs. Also, the problems facebook has are somewhat misrepresente

It would render american social media largely irrelevant in brazil, and vice versa: some call it the balkanization of the internet. On the one hand, that's a terrible shame - on the other, the extreme lack of accountability and monopol

Yeah, and they're a huge pain if you indeed actually need to use them, and often result in a non-working mess. This wasn't all that uncommon in the early days of .net core, which was particularly bad at this IIRC largely because

Of course that's purely a matter of perspective. If you regard a bloom filter as an approximation of inclusion in a set, it's a false positive, which is how we usually look at it. But if you look at it as a an approximation of s

Exactly; stress isn't one clearly defined thing, and the forms do matter: therefore the focus on overall stress isn't that useful.

by emn13 6y ago
The stress of fearing a pandemic is perhaps quite different from the everyday stresses of work. We may find them both severe - even the fear much worse; but it's still conceivable the everyday stresses are worse specifically to the ex

Not complaining about OWS here; but for context it's worth noting that this vaccine was started on jan 10, months before OWS existed. Of course, that was the cheap bit: the research. The clinical trials and scaling unusually quickly

I think in cases like this I would rest easier if law enforcement always probed, targetting not the hackers (because I don't think that helps), but the company complicit in victimizing its users. Those companies have an extreme amount

Oh definitely. The flaws may well be fixed, and aren't huge anyhow. But they're real enough to consider Tesla's past claims to be super-duper safe to be misleadingly cherry-picked (effectively they were lying), so it's a

Groningen, the Netherlands. Some other cities in the Netherlands do this too, but AFAIK it's not (yet) universal.

The numbers are hard to trivially analyze, because there is no source that tracks "deaths caused by tesla cars" - NHTSA tracks deaths in cars and pedestrians, but e.g. not in other cars involved in the accident, even if potentiall
