I got a third-party cable for my phone that my phone recognizes as being able to charge it faster than the cable that came with the phone could. They should probably warn you that they don't have a cable or charger, in case you're getting a phone because you lost everything and don't have that stuff, but the first-party stuff isn't better these days.

I think it's even more interesting, in that one or two humans have to decide whether to question a call, and they have to identify calls that were wrong, not just ones they want to overturn, and they don't have a great angle to figure out what the algorithm would do. I think it's going to be fun to see batters try to do the ump's job, while standing to the side and considering swinging at the pitch.

I think the real issue is warm parts of China selling to cold parts of India without including the features that aren't needed near the factory. We know lots about battery chemistry, but rural farmers have had more immediately relevant things to know about up to now and don't have a good source of information on this new thing the government is pushing, so they skip things that sound like luxuries and end up with something inappropriate for their purpose.

Exactly this; there's no story here except that hiring of *junior* programmers is down.

The US is insane and the rest of the world just watches us and laughs. I've been living and working outside the US for years now and it floors me that every time I've spoke to a recruiter about opportunities state-side they're almost always apologetic when explaining that the job is not remote eligible. As if I'm entitled to such a thing.

Nearly 50%? Good. Pre-covid people that wanted to stay at home rather than go to the office were either unemployed (congratulations) or self-employed (here's their opportunity!). But it wasn't really news.

What a weirdly entitled country we are.

All work is derivative.

Brave is a Chromium based browser so more of a repackaging than a competitor. However they used to claim it was de-googled but that claim seems to be a bit watered down to "by making many changes (and subtractions) from default Chromium, including disabling or removing privacy-harming Chromium features, proxying communication with Google services through Brave servers, and reimplementing sync to be encrypted client-side and never touch Google’s servers. All of these changes help prevent Google from tracking your browsing behavior."

What I do like about Brave is once you turn off their own advertising "features" you get a fairly privacy oriented Chrome-like experience that gets frequent and timely upstream updates. And with Firefox making some of the decisions they've been making it's good to have options.

Fork! Fork! Fork!

Seconding the points about the Android browser. If you want to drop a major update to a major product on a major platform (which I'd argue Firefox on Android was) at least make sure it has Feature Parity. The new Firefox app not only contains numerous unnecessary UI changes, drops support for many addons, it also performs some basic tasks worse than the previous version (text selection on pages with JavaScript elements is probably what mild Parkinson's feels like).

Furthermore...what percentage of Christians (or practicing members of other faiths) do you assume find this offensive. Do you presume to speak for all of them? Because otherwise you might be right to assume that no on cares regardless of your religion or the color of your skin. An important part of a modern society is the ability to peacefully coexist within a group with dissimilar beliefs. If your outlook is so threatened by a person wearing a colander, or a cartoon, or a editorial, or a different religion, perhaps you should more closely examine your own beliefs.

Pfft! It's like an affordable San Francisco with good food and more available parking. Unacceptable!
