It wasn't "because he was a conservative". It was because he was funding a campaign to limit peoples rights and and everyone / every website was running a campaign to tell users to get off Firefox if they want to stop funding this. It would have destroyed Mozilla if they did nothing.
No it wouldn't have. The outraged were a minority and have a short attention span. I'm sure Firefox would be doing better today with him at the helm. But we'll never know.
Gemini throws out way way too much. Inline links and image support for one. It feels like someone wants to have everything exactly as it was in the 80s.
They claim to stop feature creep by not including any kind of optional data support like headers and the spec team will reject any feature additions.
While I would be happy to have HTML/CSS exactly as it is and replace JS with a minimal WASM implementation that lets the website bring whatever tools it wants rather than relying on 1 billion JS apis.
Not so much. Sure, they don’t have the calories, but the human body still responds to them the same way it would to a sugared drink — it produces insulin. But if there wasn’t any sugar in the drink, then you don’t actually need that insulin.
Do that enough over a long enough period of time, and your body starts to become immune to the insulin it produces. And you become a Type 2 diabetic. And as a T2 diabetic, it becomes very easy to put on weight and very hard to lose it.
That’s not the only mechanism for becoming a T2, but it is a key one.
There are some issues with artificial sweeteners, but I don't believe that most of them cause an insulin spike. However, there have been studies indicating that some types of artificial sweeteners may make you more sensitive to real sugar, even in smaller amounts. There are also a lot of hypothesis about affecting gut biome and appetite.
I think the iphone pro will still have a port and likely usb c. They are pushing it as a film making product now and no one wants to copy 50GB + of video over wifi when you could just plug it in.
Apple is stuck in this crappy half way situation where the MacBook and iPad are USB-C while the iphone and accessories are lightning. Clearly the iPad and Macbook will not switch to lightning so the only way to standardize is to move the rest to usb-c.
USB-C ports have a tongue in the device end which can be damaged. Seen some nintento switch repairs and most of the time its the usb c port thats broken. The iphone in comparison seems to have less going on in the port. It does have the port gripper bits inside the port but I have 7 year old devices that still grip the cable just fine.
The prices in Australia are based on forecasted demand. Since there is almost a 100% chance that the population of tomorrow will be greater than today, that means you can buy on higher prices than current demand. Unfortunately that means houses can be considered worth almost infinite dollars since the population will keep going up.
Let's not forget the Liberal Party recently throwing out the fairly-newly-enacted loan suitability consumer protection laws, so that the mortgage brokers could reduce compliance and go back to the boomtime days of being the legal human shields (plausible deniability buffer) for the banks to allow larger and larger liar loans, which are 1 in 3
source... abc.net.au and anectodally, I subleased my office from a mortgage broker for years, saw how much they fiddled the figures for people to get MASSIVE loans they will never pay off.
I also recoded a lot of their compliance CRM for them when these now-discarded consumer protection laws first came into effect..
and was shaking my head in disgust at Frydenberg... no wonder Hayne would not shake that man's hand...
