Firefox is still slow as heck for me. Not sure what performance you guys are talking about. I unfortunately have to use Firefox heavily at work. When I can I use something else, sometimes even IE.

you can try to reset profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fi... Also, AdBlock plus addon for faster and clutterless browsing.

If you have any specific test case like a website or certain operation, please file a bug so we can look at the issue. Otherwise a profile reset and a test in safe-mode is always a good idea.

For the curious, it's David Heinemeier Hansson and works for 37 Signals.

I dont think anything of him or 37 Signals.

Sorry but this comes off as really pompous. Essentially what you're saying is that I am so good, you will be hired on your terms.

If you had gone in with the mind set, "I want to work locally, and relocating isn't something that works for me." I can respect that, but when you say I wont locate for YOU, comes off as saying, hey I make the decisions not you. Or an attention grabbing title for a post.

For a full time employee, remote work is like a long distance relationship, more often than not, they just do not work. Heck contract remote work is already difficult as is.

Perhaps if you read it as "Why I Won't RELOCATE to Work for Your Startup" it doesn't come off quite as pompous.

Is it any less pompous to say: "I would like to hire you, but you have to leave where you live and everyone you know and come to me?"

"hey I make the decisions not you"

uhh, isn't that the way it should be?

Oh I completely agree that California is terrible with money management.

But the entire article is a thinly veil shot at unions and collective-bargaining-agreements.

Over simplified, the article is saying unions are causing all this mad spending and it's easy to see that they are at the root cause.

It praises all Republican, while blaming every Democrat.

The bright side is that in my opinion it's improved, the status of science and math. Again just the status, the education system pre college is still a mess.

I am going to go out on a limb and say controversially, that it's because education falls under state rights. You just have too many different philosophy of education across all the states. For something so important it should be at a national level.

> For something so important it should be at a national level.

Could you elaborate on this? To me, the conclusion would seem entirely opposite: a single, homogeneous educational policy would prevent meaningful variation, and thereby make the status quo all but immutable.

I really like the 10 year plan. It might seem a long time, but if four of those years are college that's about half, and if you do a masters program that cuts it down even more.

Personally if you do four years as a CS major but program on the side or actively practice programming it's more like 5-6 years. That gives you 4 years, where you go out and get programming work experience, in the real world. In that situation, 10 years isn't much.

I thought same thing, but read more and realized it was open for awhile, and no one seem to care. It took the breath of his examples to make everyone shock enough to notice.

The only thing that should be illegal is the way all that information was not secured.

"who wouldn't like her anyway" Yea you missed that part, because it's true. Most of the older crowd in Maine are hard core conservative republicans.

Thanks, that was my point.

I could be wrong, but so far no one in the US has been charged with a crime for downloading. Fined, yes, but no criminal case.

What are we comparing the customer service to though? For ISPs google cannot do worse, it's impossible. I've used Verizon, AT&T, Charter, Time Warner and they all have terrible customer service, and I am understating it.
