Can anyone cite Muslim economists or theorista who endorse Erdogan's scheme? A vague "we don't do interest because Islam bans usury" hardly sounds like good policy. What is the Islamic alternative to the current macroeco

Essentially a Turk first and then a Muslim. Ottoman because it allows him to project hegemony because the Ottomans were the last Islamic "Caliphs".

lol this is so patently false. in a family very close to me, the husband would very much like his wife to wear not hijab and his wife tells him to mind his own business. both are muslim.

It's a different axis. The Turks are fighting the Sauds for influence in the Islamic world, while the Sauds are fighting the Iranians in their imagined Shia vs Sunni conflict.

With FireFox becoming more and more unusable, does anybody with experience know if Vivaldi or Brave are objectively better (or faster or more stable)?

Would you hire senior engineers who don't have much experience directly with your stack but are interested in jumping ship?

If I can afford to pay for the better experience and I want it badly enough, I will. That's how markets work.

Sure, there's lots of people on the far right saying things like "Muslims are terrorists who are trying to invade us" or "globalism is a plot by the international jewry to do so-and-so".

MS Office was so much more functional and nicer to use than libreoffice when I last checked.

Any idea how Kubuntu is?

You have to be careful with that sort of thing, especially when you're new and don't have the vibe of the place... I think you did the right thing by not saying anything at first. I'm glad you were able to get out early thoug

Oh God that sounds like a special kind of nightmare. Did you see any hints re:this during the interview?

Would anyone recommend the Oculus Quest for getting exercise? This might be what pushed me to get it.

The subcontinent is one of the first places that will be hit by climate change. That's 1.5-2 billion people that will need relocating. Where are we going to put them? Bangladesh alone is like 200 million.

Do you have an alternative you recommend?

I want a good consumer AR headset. VR gives me a headache and I really think AR will be more fun / integrated with our lives. It's sad that MSFT made the HoloLens enterprise only, otherwise I'd be next in line for that.

Brave?

by throwaway123x2 5y ago
Yeah lol, some people like the structure, other people don't.

Anyone use Brave? Is it a good alternative to FF?

I noticed right away because whatsapp went down. Pretty much all my social media is on whatsapp now.

How is that possible, I get FF crashes literally every time I load a moderately intensive website (eg. Google Keep). I still use FF because I can't abide Chrome. My PC is admittedly a bit older (only 6 gigs RAM) but still.

The cynic in me wonders if this is related to the Pandora Papers leak

I feel you. I was about to sell my car right as the pandemic started but now I'm glad I didn't. Uber/Lyft quickly went out of the range of using for ordinary everyday things post-pandemic.

Yep I'm super happy with my nasty old android watch for exactly this reason.

I remember when the jump from FF3 to FF4 was a big freaking deal, and here we are on FF92 :')
56.
by throwaway123x2 5y ago
Just curious but why? I use FF regular on mobile, mostly for the ublock, but I wonder if I'd be better off with Focus.

The press has been complaining about it nonstop, so I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

Americans don't think twice about their taxes being used to pay for bombs that kill all sorts of brown people. Maybe we should ethnically cleanse Americans as well?

It's not just random birds it's random animals in ecosystems (esp in N America) not designed for predators like cats. I strongly recommend this book for a deeper understanding: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CO3
