The former prime minister of Norway was recently detained at the border for previously having visited Iran. Think about that, prime minister of a NATO allied country. The border rules (even before Trump) are whack.

So basically they just add a button on the already obnoxious banner on top of the page? This article also claims that the speedup is partly due to loading the content in a hidden iframe on the search results page. So it's potentially u

That 1.5 seconds is FUD anyway.

This has nothing to do with "angry taxi drivers". This is about making "the innocent people traveling" feel as stuck as the innocent people affected by Trumps order.

When I freedive, I'm often weighted so that I'm neutral buoyant at -10m. So the last 10 meters I will start to float upwards, and thus go faster. But that's not the issue here. It's the pressure difference when ascending

Time in the market is better than trying to time the market. How long until next crash? When is the crash over and things start to climb again? You cannot know before after the fact, so it ends up being a big gamble. I'd say invest now

On firefox all I see is "Guides and sample code"-heading, a lot of grey and some cut off text.

What I described above is called a BTV. This sounds like a Frenzel, which is the one most experienced freedivers use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_clearing

Sounds like voluntary opening of the eustachian tubes, also called BTV in freediving. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_clearing

If it's the same thing I can do, it's very useful. I can "pop" my ears voluntarily, which is nice when freediving.

Yup, that's a big part of the "getting things done" (GTD) mindset. Write down small, actionable tasks that can be completed. Not fluffy goals.

One could hope they now have solved it technically in a way that would make it impossible for them to deliver that kind of data.

The book "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming" (what this blogpost basically is about) uses Mozart/Oz. When I first studied it at uni I didn't care much for it, but when I sat down later and really t

You may not like taxes, but calling it theft always belittles the discussion.

Can't you just make this yourself? Why does it have to be a part of the lichess platform?

This is called Martingale and doesn't work out as nicely as it first seems.

The part about optimizing for the Mandreel-test by skipping some initialization has gone full circle, as this is now exploited by developers. https://github.com/nolanlawson/optimize-js

Don't think one can be too active with these ones, though. Looks like shaking your head will make them fall out. No silicon that shapes it to the ear, no over-ear stuff or anything that should make it sit.

Interesting points. Good ideas for features I would like, and laid out in a way that makes me want to contribute.

When being bought, one would think the new company would take over the responsibilities. But I also read that the employee-shares would be worthless, so it looks like FitBit bought Pebble in a weird sense.

Yeah, I had an interview where it was blatantly obvious the person doing it didn't want to spend the time. It was a remote interview, somewhat far along the process (e.g. after screening and some technical) via Skype, but sound only, n
