That's because Chrome on Android has a partial implementation of Web Serial. The banner on top is to get information at a glance vs the detailed breakdown of the compatibility table.

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. Negative prices are obviously an arbitrage opportunity that Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are in the process of capitalizing on.

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.

It’s terrible discoverability, but a single click seems to do the trick, no long press necessary.

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, and depending on your audience[0], you might be able to use it even sooner.

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 it can't make a decision (this is only when the car is fully stopped), and a human will decide to send out a driver or make a decision in the moment.

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 pessimist, by addressing learned helplessness.

There are about 6000 spoken languages around the world with an extreme variety in how they produce meaning. How could you make sweeping statements about all of them?

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 to be fair was the focus in the earlier days. The web platform documentation was just one part of many Mozilla related things documented on MDN for some time. In 2017 though the web platform documentation had grown to make up 95% of MDN's traffic and it had become clear that it was not primarily a resource for Mozilla developers anymore, the name change to "MDN Web Docs" was intended to reflect that change in focus.
