All I know is that if I could get a menu bar and tree style tabs in Chrome, I'd have switched 5 years ago. Right, so the only reason why you use Firefox is that you're being held hostage by add-ons. Isn't that terrible? We&

are you saying that those API's are accessible to Google Chrome and not to other browsers Those APIs are available to all Android apps, including other browsers. The only complaints I've heard are about Push-style APIs and power

That's Focus, actually :-/ Firefox for iOS can't use content blocking.

It's not possible to do that and use the fast JavaScript engine from WKWebView. I'm sorry but you have no idea what you're talking about.

Curious why you'd want safari's content blockers to run inside chrome or firefox though? That's not how browser plugins work anywhere else Because there's currently no way for those browsers to get any content blocki

You can have ad blocking, but you can't have the fast JavaScript engine and ad blocking, unless you are Safari. So you can't have a Chrome or Firefox with both, unless Apple fixes their APIs or allows the "real" versio

Third-party browsers updated to use the new framework can get the same performance as Safari. But that framework is missing various things, such as content blocking. (That goes a long way to explain why there's both "Focus"

It's been pointed out recently that "near the border" is "100 miles from the border" and the coastline counts as border, so the rules are different for most places in the USA where people actually live.

Not 100% true I don't understand what part you're disagreeing with. If anything, you're very strongly reinforcing my point.

Oops, you're right. I was thinking of Down and related disorders, which highly correlate to autism. But the relation doesn't work the other way.

Never had problems explaining to the kids I'm unavailable during work time. You pretty much need a separate office room, of course. Home time and work time do end up hopelessly intermingled, but it works both ways. The extra flexibilit

Because more free time without a meaningful decrease in income increases quality of life? You can also run your own company and earn extra during the off time.

School starts at 8.45 and ends at 15.30hrs here. Without shifting work hours, it's outright impossible to take care of kids with 2 working partners, unless you want the kids to spend a lot of time in aftercare etc. With shifting hours,

You need to do the groceries in the morning, shortly after shops open. There's usually less long waiting lines than at 6pm, too. The main problem, in my experience, is making appointments.

I prefer an office with a good team of colleagues. Some past jobs had this, some didn't. But reality is that I can't find a comparable job close to home, and commuting for 2 x 2 hours is not preferable to being in an office. So

In most engineering offices I've been into being a morning person would mean you have less overlap with everyone else, since coming in late and staying late is the norm. In one company I consulted for, a morning person almost got fired

Understanding that cost of housing, commute length and variability and paycheck are intrinsically linked is a first-line test of employers not being stupid. That's why employees ask it of you.

I work for a company with offices in USA, Europe and Taiwan. What's a "normal working hour"?

Or have singular people in the company with undocumented, critical knowledge. PS. "Distributed teams" isn't the same as "working remotely", although many things that make the latter work apply to the former too.

Uh, I'd hope any large enough company in the USA (who's likely to have affected employees) sent out a similar message. They literally risk having personnel that was away on business travel get stuck outside the USA with nowhere to

Yes but that doesn't resolve the small vs big drive issue. You can RAID them both. The question wasn't what the point was of RAID, the question was what the point was of smaller drives.
