Thanks for clarifying! Makes sense. A few follow up questions: 1. Do you expect the opt-in nature of these studies to impact their findings? 2. To compensate for the voluntary nature of the studies, do you think researchers in general will

They're literally asking for someone to weigh in with first-hand experience on something they heard but are not sure about. It's a valid question that I would also like to hear about. Citations are more relevant for when people ar

Focus on what your intent was during the employment gap. The key is the intentionality of the experience. Unless you had no choice but to work on side projects, odds are you had some goal. Whether it was to learn how to build something from

If that's really the only thing keeping you from Firefox, which you would "love" to do, why not stop keeping dozens of tab open at a time?

How reliable is the 3% rating? Looking at the sources used on the wikipedia page[0], it seems pretty skeptical. For one, the services for collecting the data seem to be depending on tracking APIs from partnered sites. Does Firefox typically

Tangential question, but with services like these, is there a known way to handle failure gracefully? Some way to automatically bypass these services if they are known to be down?

I'm assuming the $55.1bn is international, not just in France. What was its revenue in France? What would its profit look like if other nations fined it similarly? We don't need a single nation to fine FAANG or others "once a

No one is lauding him as a saint. It's an objection to likening the murder of Cicero to censorship by the state. Cicero was killed because Antony had a personal vendetta against Cicero. Antony's political partner, Octavian, had a

In a sense we can print land--that just means building vertically. Building a 10 story building is essentially adding 9 layers of land. But that land won't have farmable topsoil.

That's amazing work and dedication. But I feel it fair to consider an organization like NASA as an exemption from the norm. This level of detailed error catching doesn't make sense for, say, a facebook clone startup. That said, so

That makes sense, but the point is that it's still a compromise. Even if we're saying that people can work overtime to get things done, there's typically diminishing returns on each additional hour worked, and still no guar

by ysavir 5y ago
So now you have to do extra work to catch errors, which is a compromise in its own right.
