You must be talking about private browsing or the native TOR windows. No history at all is retained for those windows and so restoring closed windows/tabs is not possible. For regular browsing sessions tab restore and session restore w

I've had quite the opposite experience there. I eventually settled on Brave because of my browsing habits. In particular I tend to have several windows of a browser open with dozens of tabs a piece and tend to rarely reboot my machine.

This same argument is true of nearly all companies, including "not for profit." For instance the chair at Mozilla/FireFox pays himself $1.1 million a year, the treasurer $1 million. [1] And those numbers are probably higher n

The problem with this hypothesis is that it seems to imply that his money resulted in some sort of advantage other candidates did not have. In reality he was outspent by nearly half a billion dollars in the general election and he was also

Do you think the individuals that choose to go to the media and speak negatively of him are an unbiased sample of all of the individuals he has meaningfully engaged with through the years? This is the problem with basing your perception of

Here [1] are some data on this exact topic. Pew broke down ideology by age. While it's true that older individuals tend to become more conservative, this is a not a new phenomena and has been observed and commented upon for centuries.

I find Newton's Third tends to apply, extremely consistently, in politics. For every action there is an equal, but opposite, reaction. In the US you can even see this as a now at least century long trend: - raging 1920s - warring 1940s

He's talking from the perspective of the UK, where he is a physician. The public health system in the UK has been under extreme and increasing stress. It's underfunded, understaffed, overburdened, and things are getting worse. In

Going to depend on your browser. The default settings I use in Brave (third party trackers blocked, third party cookies blocked, device recognition blocked) disables their paywall. I actually thought they had removed it as, notably, I did n

I'd prefer to sidestep the leadership issue since it's going to bring up a million and one questions that are going to get philosophical. For instance to what degree does society create its leaders, and to what degree do leaders c

I assume your position was rhetorical since you clearly don't think all or even the majority of any meaningfully large political group are wealthy, but what might be driving the divide otherwise? I think this failure to consider others

In the US the distinction is drawn on "imminent lawless action." People are free to say or 'incite' whatever they want, unless its likely to lead to " imminent lawless action." And in the precedent on record,

I think this would be strong evidence for why this should be published, even if some no-name journal happened to publish a refutation at some unknown time in the past. I just searched for the paper 'Political Attitudes Vary with Phys

To say nothing of 'studies from which other studies then reference and build upon.'

By replication, let's refer to refutations. I'd unfortunately agree that positive replications would provide relatively little value. But replications that seem to refute previously published studies are critical for at least two

The thing I find most interesting about this is that I think people's responses here are being driven in significant part by what was refuted. In particular the bad science was, as is frequently the case, on a political topic and one

This is based on perception, but it is not supported by the numbers which is why I made sure to source my comments. Profits are riding on inflation alone. Only one superhero movie made it into the top 10! Even on ticket numbers for the big

The level of coma and other factors are related to how close the comet comes to the sun. Oumuamua came extremely close (about 25% the distance from Earth to the Sun), and displayed no such characteristics. This is why thought it was origina

The big question is about what caused its non-gravitational acceleration? The only thing that makes sense there is a comet - comets are icy and when that ice heats up, such as by passing around the sun, it can result in an outgassing that c

Things aren't quite this simple because developed nations don't act as homogeneous wholes. The trends we see on the international level are followed within nations themselves and even down to the state, county, and city level. For

Why do you say it would be impossible to scale it? The US has 330 million people, and 2.3 billion acres of land. That's averages out to 7 acres of land for every man, woman, and child. 700 acres for a little residential area of 100 peo

Contrary to intuition, the average number of hours people work has completely plummeted as well. It's down more than 250 hours a year since the 1950s. [1] At a 40 hour work week that means we now take a bit more than an extra 1.5 month

I think Germany itself is a perfect answer to your question. One thing you start to see over and over in politics is Newton's Third - for every action there's an equal but opposite reaction. Germany took an an overwhelmingly sharp

I don't really think any of those were comparable. The situation with the devaluing of an education is an extremely simple case of supply + demand. When usable skills are rare, they have a high value - when they're not, they don&#

I'd like to agree with you, but how could "society" not see what would happen if you increase the percent of college graduates from e.g. 5% to 35% in a matter of just several decades? And this started to happened about the sa

On top of society strongly directing people to university, we also intentionally mislead people about their future potential. 'You can do whatever you put your mind to.' Ostensibly it's good for young people to believe this,
