Never again should these people be extended invitations to events, seats on committes, or even employment in our industry. They should be banished from the internet for pursuing self-interests at the expense of not just the rest of the internet, but the parts of it which represent charitable interests. An unforgivable crime.

All the VPN companies that are shilled by YouTubers are bad. NordVPN and Private Internet Access (and IIRC there was one before that as well) have both turned out to be garbage.

I don't think any of these should be called "free market think-tanks". They have nothing to do with free markets as proposed by Adam Smith and Friedrich von Hayek, who both required effective regulation and some kind of ethics. American neo-cons is the opposite of that.

How would you even translate Putin's "цап-царап" to English? 😏 What he just said to several hundreds of people on "Russia calls!" forum is roughly "we will wait for Americans to spend their money for new technology and then steal it"...

"Мы подождем, пока американцы истратят деньги на новые технологии, а потом - цап-царап! Посмотрим, мы заинтересованы в этим сегодня или нет."

@kravietz That's interesting, thanks! I spent some time on their website and read https://www.ekioh.com/blog/improving-html-browser-layout-performance/ : "The CPU intensive operation of laying text out in paragraphs is particularly suited to parallel execution. On a page of text, nothing in one paragraph affects the word wrapping of the others, just their vertical position."

Now I wonder if #LaTeX and #TeX could also benefit from such techniques. I feel like they are all single-threaded at the moment.
