Chrome on Android does not support extensions at all. It's still the biggest mobile browser. Sure, it will make a lot of technical people mad, but a lot more won't care.

We have some projects that have been continuously running for tens of thousands of years, like plant and animal breeding for example. Dogs for example originated tens of thousands of years ago. Compare this to running nuclear power plants a

This strategy would work if the people who disagree with the API closure is just the moderators (who provide free labour to reddit). It's not just them though, it might be felt most strongly by the power users, but people also frequent

Hacker news is more a place that uses its property as a nerd watering hole to occasionally feature job ads for Y combinator funded companies. For this goal, it needs to be as nerd-friendly as possible. Reddit on the other hand targets a dif

The real estate market is extremely distorted by local governments, through imposing restrictions on where houses can be built, how large they can be, etc. To some degree this makes sense, because you want people to be able to enjoy natur

If you have a thousand people competing for 700 apartments, prices will adjust until 300 are priced out of the apartments. Giving the 200 of those people with socially recognized jobs enough money to not be priced out any more will still me

For prices to go down, it doesn't really matter who gets to live in these apartments, as long as enough demand is taken off the market. And usually, with few exceptions, socially acceptable jobs are the ones which pay little compared t

There are multiple ways this can happen: * people in the area are not owning their houses, but (the companies owned by) people who live somewhere in Florida do (or the richer part of the same town) * people bought their houses 40 years ago

They also don't want to share two files, one for the file, one for the signature. Ideally, it's integrated, which means there needs to be some management. And ideally, it's also applied to the data before it's compressed

All of them are tied to money, really. If you are rich, then you can afford nannies (or a stay at home parent, this is nowadays a luxury too), housing, and if you are in a district with high property taxes, your public school is well funded

There is two categories on the page, one for 15 minutes, one for 5 minutes. As for losing your connecting train, it's definitely a danger if you arrive with 15 minutes delay, yes. That's also why if you reclaim parts of your ticke

Yes but one of the most common desires is that you want your children to have a better childhood and life than yourself. Some people don't care or don't explicitly make the choice to get children, they just get them. But some peop

I'd presume they have already been at Google before, but Google wanted them to not be at the Chelsea office in NYC (the walkable one) but instead in Mountain View. So this is more an existing disagreement with the employer.

Note that this isn't just a paper reproduction but a new paper in and of itself (the github is by one of the paper's authors). This is unbelievably amazing. I wonder how it compares to rnnoise, which is also open source and also t

I am aware, but note that Safari relies on ImageIO for image decoding and AVFoundation for video decoding, two components of the proprietary OS. Chrome and Firefox on the other hand ship a lot of their own decoders. Those parts are not open

I think the big difference since the recent threads is the news that Apple is adding support for JPEG XL to Safari. For HEIC, I understand, but it's weird that they are the only ones supporting JPEG XL while it is a royalty free open s

That's why in the EU they have introduced requirements for electric cars to make artificial sounds. Sometimes one of them drives past and it sounds like a spaceship from a sci fi movie lol.
