My boomer father, who drives Fords pretty much exclusively, loves to tell me how bad it is that the Tesla I drive doesn't have AM radio. Meanwhile, I didn't even notice and couldn't care less.

Ran into this on nytimes.com. Ended up using the polyfill. The benefits of dialog are just too great to not use it. So much easier than using other modal libraries or rolling your own.

My parents took me on a trip via the California Zephyr, Coastal Starlight, and Empire builder when I was 5 years old. I'm now in my 40s and that was one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken. I re-took the California Zephyr with my wife some years ago, and hope to take it again with my child some day.

Memorable travel, not just memorable destinations.

Wasn't it an internal letter that was leaked? I mean sure, being leaked is a predictable consequence, but it may be a distinction with a difference if the criticizers didn't themselves leak it.

Regardless, will be interesting to see how this plays out. If I were one of those employees, I'd be talking to a lawyer. If I was one of the employees still working at SpaceX, I'd be talking about a union. We recently unionized at my employer, it is great to know we have each other's back.

Every time this guy tweets, I regret my purchase more and more. Can't he just keep it focused on the cars and the share price? Instead it always has to be some ego trip about how he is smarter and harder worker than everyone else.

I hope this pushes folks at Tesla to unionize. The NLRB has ruled health and safety are subjects of mandatory bargaining. If your employer is making you return to an unsafe office during a global pandemic, this is in violation of that.

Zillow's attempt at flipping was certainly not helping. Even if it doesn't improve things, at least it is not hurting anymore.

The trend of big companies buying single family homes and attempting to flip them is demonstrably bad for individuals trying to purchase a home.

Starkey is not exactly a quality company and I would be more than happy to see them put out of business. They tried to shaft their employees out of retirement money, they inflated their donation numbers, and a former executive was sent to prison for all kids of fraud.

I've been a happy user of the same version of 1Password 6 for many years, the last non-subscription version. It still works on MacOS Big Sur, and the classic extensions work in Firefox and Chrome (though not safari on the mac). When it stops working, I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

Yes. Years of experience with AMP and measuring website performance on a very high traffic website.

Fun think about core web vitals and amp: AMP pages will _always_ win core web vitals, because they're measured from google's CDN, where they can be pre-rendered. Unless the page is motherfuckingwebsite.com, the AMP version is going to score better in every metric than a non-AMP version. Core Web Vitals just cements AMP as a shortcut to performance.

Oh, thanks! I didn't know about the temporary containers extension. Very useful!
