> Getting specific is harder on Google because it just omits or misinterprets my search query keywords quite often.
I have this problem too. Google often thinks that I made a typo and presents me results for things I didn't searched for or care about and I have no way to force it to search for things I really want.
This is exactly when I switch to brain damage mode querying. You like fixing typos Google? Have some typos. You like figuring out what I really mean Google? Here, I'll formulate my query like a deranged toddler on PCP, best of luck!
Maybe it just feels more successful because it lowers my expectations. But at least you get to mash the keyboard like a maniac, do no corrections, press return and watch it just work.
It's kind of like watching Google do a "customer is always right" squirm.
I'm always amazed when others are astonished of the "ridiculousness" of restaurant tipping in the U.S. It's a well understood social convention that everyone follows, creates an incentive for waiters to treat guests well, and creates a more direct connection between a patron and server.
There have been many cases of restaurants that have removed tipping, only to go back at the behest of their staff because waiters made more money from tips than from a higher hourly salary. This makes sense too, if a waiter is incentivized for tips, they will quickly learn how to nudge customers into getting more.
So waiters make more tipping, and U.S. customers accept it as a social norm. What's the problem?
The problem is that it opens restaurant employees up to abuse and discrimination. In most companies, if a client starts abusing an employee, managers can offer some level of protection and insulation, either by inserting themselves or in extreme cases, dropping the client. A restaurant offers far less insulation to waiters/waitresses, which makes it harder to combat entrenched discrimination. This abdication of responsibility arguably reinforces such discrimination, which can have wider effects than just in a restaurant.
This is a problem that needs fixing, but given that waiters/waitresses are often towards the bottom of the economic totem pole, and plenty of other of areas need fixing too, forcing unwanted change on them for some greater moral good before others seems wrong in itself.
Good service should be the norm. They don't get the same minimum wage and service levels are arbitrary. You don't actually seem to understand some things about waiting.
Higher wages only occur in places with higher food prices. Diners and the like often don't make much over minimum wage. Try making a decent wage at a place like a Waffle House. Great greasy diner food a a low cost, which means the waitstaff make nil in tips unless they make it up in volume. Some places also force waiters to pay for dine and dashers. The legality of this is questionable but it definitely happens.
The solution is to remove the tipping minimum wage. If customers then want to provide a tip above and beyond that wage level for exceptional service, fine, but removing the tipping minimum wage would allow for more stable wages, would improve the bottom end of the wages, help with lower hours, etc. This way it removes the arbitrary lower wages that might come from discrimination, foreign eaters, management issues, etc. Prices would go up everywhere, normalizing the costs.
I hate autoplay so much that probably no one in the whole universe hates it more than me. This is the stupidest human invention ever. </rant>
I'm really grateful for customizability of firefox. I discovered "media.block-play-until-visible" in about:config some time ago and I hope that they don't have plans of removing that option in the future.
If you're not imagining physical assault on the people in power who decide to enable autoplay for their content, then I'm certain there are people who hate it more than you do. But I also definitely think the people who enable autoplay, lack a certain kind of imagination that people could possibly be driven to irrational levels of hate because of this misfeature. But then this also applies to spam and spammers.
I'm not planning any physical assault :D and I don't think that any software is worth any assault. It is just a tool, if I don't like it, I modify it or change to a completely new tool.
The good thing is that I'm a programmer, I know the basics of c++ and js so I can just look around in firefox's source code and find interesting things that could make my web browsing experience better.
It is explained in the next paragraph what "npx" is:
> Yep. cool? “npx” allows you to run a temporary package, which will be deleted right after each use. Use this command to try and experience how Fine works. Doesn’t hurt to try, huh?
It's not a satisfactory explanation for the layman, because it still assumes that you know that a package refers to something on npm, and that npx itself is a part of Node/npm.
All it would really need to say is that it requires a recent version of Node.
Actually, Firefox has UI for this. Click "Menu -> Web Developer -> Service Workers". This will open a special page "about:debugging#workers". It shows active service workers and allows you to unregister them. There is another even simpler UI at "about:serviceworkers".
I agree that you can make significant savings with G12 tariff in which night usage is about 30% cheaper than during a day in comparison with fixed-price G11. But unless you have your own source of renewable energy your car will be charged with power from coal power plant. So maybe you can charge your car for less but you still use fossil fuel and it doesn't change much in amounts of emitted CO2.
I use e10s for about a year and I have processCount set to 4. It worked almost flawlessly and content process crashed maybe 1-2 times in this time.
I enabled "Recommended performance settings" and Firefox changed processCount to 1. I have dual-core (4-thread) CPU so I think they don't use number of cores as base for this setting but make some A/B testing on users.
Check in about:config 'e10s.rollout.cohort' and 'extensions.e10s' and you will see that every user is put in some kind of testing 'bucket'.
I have this problem too. Google often thinks that I made a typo and presents me results for things I didn't searched for or care about and I have no way to force it to search for things I really want.
