Thanks all. Update: - Brave(!) had the same slowness problems. - So I realized that maybe the 60-page long example doc I was using was the problem. Moved to a 2-page long doc and it did seem better.

Yeah, it's really sad. I don't know what to do about it. There's just a shocking lack of context when it comes to news/politics here. Which, I guess, shouldn't be so shocking -- why should we expect people to have e

First off, Cuomo is terrible. People are right to point to the nursing home problems, but there's even more. Stuff like setting up an "anti-corruption" commission to attack his political foes, then hastily shutting it down wh

A little unrelated, but this brings up a question I've had for a while. Seems like one day, everyone around me was using dataclasses. I had not even heard of them. It felt like I had missed some memo or newsletter. It felt weird. Here&

Absolutely. I tell people that to think of Rochester like Pittsburgh, only delayed by 10 years. Lately, it seems like the real estate market agrees with me. :-)

I grew up in Rochester. Really glad to see it recognized here. I like to tell people that there was a time when there was a race to become, frankly, Chicago. Cities like Rochester, Buffalo, (Milwaukee?) competed -- but Chicago prevailed. Si

Maybe I care too much about market power and consolidation, but this part struck me: > [Simple] was purchased by BBVA in 2014. > BBVA said in January that it would be shutting down Simple later in 2021. The decision came from the comp

Yes, but you're thinking of private equity.

I'm flabberghasted that neither the article nor the comments so far talk about Open Library https://openlibrary.org/ It's a nonprofit, it's tied to the internet archive, it's been around a long time, its

From reading the article, I'm reasonably certain that Avaaz is using Facebook's own definitions.

Thank you! The whole "hurr durr McDonalds Coffee" thing is one of those stories that simply won't seem to die, no matter how often heroes like you show up and do the work of correcting it.

Thank you for bringing a structural, informed approach to this. I'm getting a little tired of the tendency to handwave blame "cultural decline" rather than actual looking into the policies and details.

I don't know why you're being voted down here. These are legitimate articles in major publications that are broadly accepted by experts in the field. Sad!

Can cosign. Hobsbawn was widely regarded as the greatest British historian (as opposed to historian of Britain) by his death. No shade to Howard Zinn, but he, like pretty much every other historian, didn't nearly have that level of res

Yes! Imagine a group of people who accept almost any friend request they get, that think that "if it's on Facebook, that means it's real", if they ever think about it all. A group of people who shares whatever meme they
