Re:Why I Love Tailwind on Monday December 07, 2020 @02:13PM (#25335896)
+1 from me. When I started as the sole (junior) Dev at work I wasn't very good with css. I made use of things like bootstrap etc heavily. Eventually I found tailwind and started using that to augment what I was building, and now I use it solely.Thanks to tailwind I have a much better understanding of css.

Why not? You may not be making use of the services because of your inefficient use of land, but you do benefit from those services being available in the form of higher land value.

As long as the UBI payout is not tied to the total carbon tax income I don't see how it messes with the incentives.

First step of sign up requires an email. Second sep verifies the email is active. Third asks you to set a password. They could be harvesting credentials and reverting on password reuse.

To identify your account and allow the system to take a snapshot of your face for the session.
I would pay if there was a good option. A monthly subscription to read a single article on a public discussion forum is. To a good option.
50 cents is far too much. I just read that article and it was pretty much just filler.

> Participants were just blown away at being able to eat all they wanted for the first time in their lives and lose weight without even trying.

Anecdotal, but this is me at the moment on keto. For the first time in my life (I have been obese since 5) I am not ravenously hungry all the time, to the point where I can just eat one meal a day without much struggle. I eat as much as I want now, the only difference is I don't want much at all. Oh, and I can't eat many carbs.

PWA = Progressive Web Application

It's basically a set of techniques and technologies developed in an attempt to produce a user experience similar to that of a native application when using a web application.

In the case of not having a service worker, well, a PWA without services workers doesn't make much sense. This is because service workers are used to cache content to create that 'native' feeling of your application not 404ing when you go through a tunnel.
