That said the more intermittent ambient energy is on the grid the more difficult it is for nuclear to operate 24/7, which makes it take longer for nuclear to go from expensive to cheap.
I checked the prices in your document. But I'm more after the actual resources consumption. For ex. if solar is cheap, but in the end, solar panels production releases more CO2 than nuclear, then it's of no use for CO2 emissions.
Firefox has hundreds of developers. I don’t understand why performance isn’t on par with Chrome. I try my best to use Firefox to bring support, but sometimes I just have to switch back when things get too laggy.
I’m sorry, but I only have 8 hours a day, and I’m not going to let my productivity flow get ruined.
What are you using that makes the performance difference be even noticeable? With the exception of cases where Firefox is absolutely broken, for me it's good enough. Or when I had crappy extensions, have you tried disabling extensions? I only have uBlock Origin and Firefox Containers these days.
It does sadden me that some sites are starting to refuse to work with Firefox these days... But I won't give up.
For me, Google Maps/Apple Maps (on DuckDuckGo) are painfully laggy on Firefox/Linux, even after force enabling all the GPU acceleration options. OpenStreetMap works fine, though.
That said, Google has a long history of making their products glitchy on Firefox, so not sure it's all Firefox's fault.
Yeah but you need to be a top engineering/CS kid to get those high-paying tech jobs.
All you need to get a job in IBD is go to a top school, have a high gpa, and be able to memorize some basic accounting and finance and not blow your interviews.
Getting a technical degree like CS and then passing the interviews at a place like Google or whatever the hottest unicorn grads wanna work at is way tougher IMO
You can make almost as much money (well above the average) doing a "normal" 35-40 hour week in tech. I'd rather have a sensible work:life balance and earn a bit less, than spend my entire life working until midnight.
Plus, I find tech is very egalitarian. Nobody cares whether you went to a public or state school, if you have a regional accent or anything like that. Banking still has the "old money" club problems.
If you can get into a top school, you can spend the few hours to study for technical interviews. Seriously, I’m not joking. It’s not as hard as you make it out to be.
Unfortunately I can't answer that with a strong "yes". I've been considering the FT, based on a couple of recommendations (one of which was on here), but you have to go in with your eyes open: it does lean right. Newsweek isn't too bad, and the fact that it's a weekly does give it at least the sense of a bit more distance and objectivity.
The BBC is supposed to be balanced and unopinionated but they implement it in the most passive-aggressive way imaginable. What I mean by that is that sometimes their coverage simply has massive holes in it, which makes it very hard to keep abreast of unfolding events (bear in mind I don't watch the TV channels, only look at the news website). I presume that's because they won't report on something if it would give them impression of bias, but it can be pretty frustrating.
A recent example is the attack on the US Capitol: the BBC's coverage was constantly out of date, missing tons of key information. CNN, The Guardian, plenty of other news sites across the political spectrum, and even Twitter (!) were better sources of information.
Basically the BBC, at present, implements the letter of its charter whilst completely ignoring its spirit. Super-annoying.
Wall Street trader salaries are quoted as base pay. Bonus comes on top of it and is a function of your performance. One piece of advice I've heard is to live off the base pay and bank the bonus.
It’s interesting how people don’t realize Google is basically saving these advertisers from bankruptcy, and yet they’re still complaining.
You realize Google could just have done what Apple is doing and completely get rid of all third party cookies with no replacement right? The privacy sandbox API is a lifeline to third party advertisers that otherwise would be completely screwed.
