When listening to podcasts where EU politicians are interviewed it seems like this is less of a problem there. EU politics have a high impact but a low "fame" aspect. Maybe the people that care about impact and not about fame are

Although they are less violent than COD, I think your memory might be a bit off on some of these. 2 examples: In Portal 1 & 2 there are quite a lot of robots that trying to kill you with guns.[0] In Mirror's Edge there is a lot of

That is a practical problem, but it does not apply to the proposed solution. The proposed solution is an organization whose purpose is literally to do the vetting for you. You only need to vet GiveWell, you can then outsource the rest of th

To me, this comment made it sound like this "block site.etc" was a feature that Personal Blocklist has and uBlacklist doesn't, but if I open the ublacklist page the first screenshot of the extension shows "Block this sit

I'm probably going to use it, but isn't it valuable to be a bit skeptical and question what the long-term effects may be? Over the past decades we went from snail mail to email to instant messaging, each step made it easier to wri

I tried that too yesterday! I wanted to try Gnome 41 so I used the gnome template in archinstall, but then afterwards I got in a big mess with NetworkManager vs. systemd-networkd and the docs said NetworkManager was included with the gnome

That's not completely true, while WSL doesn't help Windows GUI apps to be more cross-platform, it does help Linux GUI apps to work on Windows[0] So to refer back to the top comment we could say that Microsoft is proposing WSL as a

The way I understood it the acids in the food make the enamel softer. Brushing while the enamel is softened can result in brushing away the outermost layer of enamel. Waiting until 45-60 minutes supposedly allows the saliva to normalize the

I don't know how "at some point you end up in a position of diminishing returns" in this case is an argument against EA. In the book Doing Good Better one of the core ideas of EA is defined as investing in problems that are n

Nice work! This looks like an interesting product. I was trying to create a bookshelf with a bunch of books I liked. I have a strong aversion to manual work, and didn't want to continue after a few books because it took multiple second

Ah, this morning when I went to the site it only showed "No more items" no matter what I did. Now it shows "No more items" for 2 seconds and then starts showing items. I think the first example is what another commenter

When I look at the website I currently only see "No items", but if you are using Python 3.6+ the pathlib[0] library has a very nice way of reading/writing files: from pathlib import Path p = Path("my_file.txt"

Slightly off-topic but this made me wonder: is it possible to store the 1000 most used web fonts locally and tell your browser to use the local version instead of the Google version?

I think the "problem" is not always that you know which tab you want and just want to open it. Sometimes the "problem" is getting an overview over all your open tabs, a tab searcher wouldn't help too much there.

On my MS Surface Pro 6 i5 everything works fast, in Firefox and Chrome. Firefox feels maybe a tiny bit snappier but there's almost no difference. Maybe the issue only exists on Macbooks?

In all the articles about ubuntu 20 that I saw today one of the main improvements mentioned was HiDPI diplay support, maybe this solves your problem. Meanwhile, the MS Surface I'm typing this on has a blurry Task Manager and unreadable

Which is probably way more expensive than almost correctly predicting, and making up for the inaccuracy by underpromising and overdelivering :)
