Lots of places in France are so remote and sparsely populated that public transport does not work there, at least not yet. It may or may not work once autonomous vehicles are fit for rural areas, but this may take a while.

That’s another reason for increasing minimum wages, as they try to do.

Actually, 90% income tax for the top incomes was common in western countries in the 50s.

400’000€ yearly income is not middle class. It is roughly the top 1%. Are you maybe mistaking property for income?

I would have preferred taxing on property instead of income, but as long as interests and profits and other benefits are part of income, it sounds reasonable to me.

Maybe they should ban trowing away your trash instead.

Capitalist perfection: you are paid for cycling, don’t do anything else!

One example for self documenting code is typing. If you use a language which enforces (or at least allows, as in Python 3.8+) strong typing and you use types pro actively, this is better than documentation, because it can be read and worked with by the compiler or interpreter. In contrast to documenting types, the compiler (or interpreter) will enforce that code meaning and type specification will not diverge. This includes explicitly marking parameters/arguments and return types as optional if they are.

I think no reasonable software developer should work without enforced type safety unless working with pure assembler languages. Any (higher) language which does not allow enforcing strong typing is terrible.

I have worked on larger older projects. The more comments you have, the larger the chance that code and comment diverge. Often, code is being changed/adapted/fixed, but the comments are not. If you read the comments then, your understanding of what the code does or should do gets wrong, leading you on a wrong path. This is why I prefer to have rather less comments. Most of the code is self a explanatory, if you properly name your variables, functions and whatever else you are working with.

Therefore they need ventilators

Wow, that’s an impressive list of amateur tanks. Do they also sell real cars in the US? (Rhetorical question)

Does the add-on work the same way in Chrome? Or does Google break it in a way similar to uBlock Origin with the WebExtensions v3 update?

Is this all true for addons available from Mozilla’s add-on site?

PS: Mozilla had to limit installing addons because lots of companies installed malicious addons into browsers of their users, often without knowledge or informed consent of their users.

Once again, it’s mostly about the money

Do you have evidence or is this pure speculation?

How and why should Mozilla get money from Russia? Isn’t it more plausible if Russia were blackmailing Mozilla?

I think we should not expect a volunteer (or small group of volunteers) to keep up with a billion dollar company

Looks like it is possible to do in California already today, for hours, not minutes: https://reneweconomy.com.au/deeper-longer-cleaner-big-batteries-extend-domination-of-californias-evening-demand-peaks/

The battery solutions on grid scale are available now. They need to be built and paid for. Negative prices might help motivate investors.

Yeah, negative prices finally incentivize storage technologies such as battery storage.

Has anyone heard about the andro-switch ring before? It is supposed to work without taking any pills and be free of side effects (except for carrying a silicone ring around the testicles). https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/986261

This might be true for Netanjahu and some right-wing groups, but not for the population or country in general. There are lots of people in Israel, including lots of Jews, who oppose any violence against other groups, especially inhabitants of Gaza and the West Bank.

I guess I’m getting old then 😜

Yeah, that headline is very misleading. Crypto(graphy) is essential for the digital world to exist whereas the other stuff is a pyramid & money laundering scheme.
