  • I could only imagine if each record label had their own streaming service. People would go nuts.

  • I think it's fair to think that they could refocus their efforts on the browser if they didn't have that large slush fund from Google. I don't think "hey we don't take Google money anymore" is going to lead to a lot of new donations, however.

  • I looked it up and still have no clue what it is.

  • it sounds like no one else does either

    Maintaining a browser that doesn't rely on someone else's upstream code is quite an ordeal. Of the four main browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox), 3 are built by large for-profit enterprises and the other relies on money from a large for-profit enterprise. Browsers are very complex pieces of technology and can't be maintained by 3 guys on GitHub in their spare time.

  • Close. Chromium uses Blink which was originally a fork of WebKit. I have no idea how much they've diverged since then.

  • They could probably raise more if Google went away

    I'm interested in how you think Mozilla would raise more than half a billion dollars if they didn't take any money from Alphabet/Google. Genuinely. In what ways could Mozilla raise money that they're not doing right now?

  • I'm shocked he doesn't have an IRA (unless that doesn't count). Given his previous jobs, it passes the smell test that he doesn't have a 401k.

    I'm sure his pensions are invested in a wide range of stocks and bonds, but he doesn't directly hold them.

  • when they flock together they tend to get disruptive and toxic very quickly

    Hmm, I wonder why that is?

  • My mental health isn't great at the moment so I'm not really excited about anything. Maybe that it'll get better?

  • Rugby Sevens most likely. The US Women's team had people on it who had never played rugby 4 years ago. Granted they had an (American) football background. Handball might be in there. It's gotta be a sport that isn't very popular.

  • The Phantom Tollbooth

    It's an amazing book, but no one would consider it a masterpiece.

  • Could be worse. He could live in a country which doesn't have universal healthcare.

  • I gotta convince myself that what I thought of wasn't funny.

  • Golfers can always use a pack of new balls. If it's a surprise gift, ask about what the balls are made of and then which she thinks is the best. Buy accordingly.

  • This. If you're a meme stock (Tesla), you have to keep it that way or else everyone is losing their shirts.

  • He's just a director that will take a variety of projects.
