I was just correcting your numbers, but I also want to point out that power generated from solar has grown more than 30% in just two years and I think it's uncontroversial that we are in the early stages of the s curve for adoption. Ne

It’s called SSI, spectral similarity index. SSI is specified for a color temperature, eg 3200 or 5600. 100 is identical to tungsten or sunlight. Values above 85 are good.

Anchor positioning is part of Interop 2025. Firefox committed to shipping support for it this year: https://wpt.fyi/interop-2025 After that, it should take about 2.5 years for the feature to become Baseline widely available

If you mean "driven or steered remotely": They were never teleoperated. I'm assuming that would be completely reckless given the nature of radio networks and possibly because of regulations. The car will call a service once i

It’s called learned helplessness and is a good indicator for pessimism. There is a book I enjoyed that discusses the issue in depth, called: Learned Optimism, by Martin Seligman. The second half of the book is about how to become less of a

I don't understand where the idea comes from that IKEA sofas fall apart after 5 years. All of their sofas come with a 10 year warranty, even the cheapest ones. Here's one at the $850 price point: https://www.ikea.com&#

Unfortunately washing rice doesn’t remove the arsenic[0], cooking it with a lot of water like pasta does that. You might still want to wash the rice to remove other contaminants, depending on the rice you use. [0] https://www.you

We made that change around 2017. Mozilla Developer Network is somewhat ambiguous. In surveys and user interviews people were confused about the name. Web developers thought it might be a resource specifically for Mozilla developers, which t

Looking at browser usage for the last two major versions is misleading. That would only be true in a parallel release of a web platform feature in every browser, but that's basically never the case, and it's not the same for every

The issue with Safari is that it's tied to the operating system on iOS. That's an issue with minor releases, but even more so with major releases, where you can't get Safari 16 for iOS 15. That naturally means slower uptake c

The core browser set is not defined in exact versions of browsers, since many browsers release every 4-6 weeks. The two most recent major versions refers to the number before the first point. So, for Chrome it would be 113 and 112, for Safa

Wow, is that really necessary? It almost hurts physically to read that strong of a statement directed at another person. You aren't even really disagreeing with the OP. You could have said: "You're right about the 99% of non

Thanks for the feedback! So, one thing we are doing differently this time around is updating the site incrementally instead of a big bang redesign. In the case of the article pages that means limited changes in the first phase to get them t

But Mozilla claims that it's exactly the old add-on system that keeps Firefox from being more secure. What if they were just as secure as Chrome after giving up on the old add-on system? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to com
