Perhaps you can install Firefox stable, now that Quantum is available there. Nightly tends to crash more often; it crashes once or twice a week for me, but I already expect that. I'm using it to feel good about helping Mozilla.

Ex Urbe's writing is generally pretty great. Do check out her series on Machiavelli, the inventor of Consequentalism: https://www.exurbe.com/?p=1429 .

Actually what is moral (according to utilitarianism) is to avoid as many taxes as possible and then donate as much money to efficient charity. A lot of first-world government interventions are inefficient human-welfare-wise, mainly because

Using electricity creates negative externalities in the form of physical resource consumption, though.

Right, but that's happening _now_ so we (well, the people who are doing it) have the power to prevent it.

It might well have become part of the Communist bloc (maybe not, if anarchists and communists hadn't stopped bickering). I don't know if it would have stopped before or after the USSR.

Typo, I believe: switching to PoS is a capital-creating act, not PoW! PoW is disgusting.

Which suits a lot of people fine. So long as you get to participate in these massive battles... I've never played it though.

Also, shouldn't it be "cause losses" rather than "give"? It is unlikely that a corporation doesn't like being given money.

Sounds almost like `pip freeze > requirements.txt`. This creates a list of all your currently-installed packages, which you can install with `pip install -r requirements.txt`. The biggest problem with this though is that this will make t

How about docked bike sharing? Barcelona has been having one for some time, it doesn't have many of the problems here, even though our suzhi is not very high. It does have the problem that you have to start and finish in a dock, but th

Ah, but if people said the same thing, people were right. The number of repetitive jobs (being a peasant, moving your hand up and down a loom) has indeed decreased.

I see. That's not quite the definition I was using in my head. According to that, if the emails are very well thought-out and written, it _is_ still hard work... I assumed that, for a work ethic, it had to be as useful as possible too.

But Adjust only comes into play when the app is installed by clicking on a Google ad campaign. So at that point, Google already knows you've clicked on the ad and installed the app (because that's how they bill Mozilla).

>His work ethic is incredible >he spends 5 hours a day responding to emails from the public Since I read Deep Work, I think these phrases contradict each other. You don't do original, interesting work when replying emails.

Same, but with a Spanish keyboard, and non-blank keys. In fact Spanish keyboards are physically like UK keyboards, so slightly different from US keyboards, so the layout I've now gotten most used to is nonexistent. Note the different s

I blocked these things from Facebook because they were too addictive to watch. The OP article draws a similar comparison that I did at the time: food porn draws on similar urges than those of actual pornography, and it's not good to se

Har, "with no figuration" is a good substitute for old "literally". Thanks. I only frightens me figuratively, but that may be because I don't plan on moving there.

Heh, but it makes geocentrism works better! And we don't yet know how 21st century heliocentrism will look like, while adding epicycles is less daunting.
