For anyone wanting to read more about this, here are some articles and data from the Climate System Analysis Group at the University of Cape Town.
This article explains the severity of the drought, and calculates that the return interval for a two-year drought of this severity is 1150 years (!), which mostly absolves the City of blame for not anticipating it: http://www.csag.uct.ac.za/2017/08/28/how-severe-is-this-drou...

This is however calculated based on historical weather data from 1920s onwards. With climate change ongoing and increasing, we can't rely on historical weather patterns staying accurate for future predictions. Old every 100 or 1000-year droughts can become every 10-year droughts.
In practical engineering (on circuit diagrams, bills of
materials, etc), you almost never see the "Ω" symbol. "K" is used for kΩ, "M" for MΩ, and "R" for Ω (as in 330R is a 330Ω resistor).
It's nothing to do with programming language design.
Probably because, for all that we complain endlessly about the evils of capitalism, if someone isn't making enough money off of it, there is no motivation to make it available.
That can be tricky. Venture funded companies that are totally legit and run by competent people sometimes don't want to use a vendor's form. That's not really a red flag...
I would first read the agreement they want you to sign though. If it's not bad and you can live with it, it's sometimes worse it to compromise. Some of the bigger clients cannot be flexible on contracts.
Of course, one important thing is too decide how money you're willing to risk. If you're not willing to risk more than two week's worth of work, then bill them weekly so that you can act quickly in case they decide to stiff you.
It looks like all URLs in plain text on the page are being rewritten (eg. from Amazon.com to Amazon.com.prx.uk.teleport.to). URLs in <a href="..."> fields are not, but only if they point off the domain you're visiting.
It's certainly not the intended behavior, but it's not a surprising bug either. The rewrite was surprisingly tough to make work even most of the time. But if you could share the specific site this happened on, I will likely be able to fix it.
Though it's certainly a valuable number to know, I'm not sure a huge "TIME WASTED WATCHING TV: x DAYS" is what people want from a TV watchlist. (Whereas this would be a valuable feature in a productivity app.)
This is a throwaway key that's used for tests.
But other people may miss it.
So I've explicitly marked these files and config cmds as test files and cmds.
Also, I put a warning msg to log and to README.
If you put production cert & key to config (see README), warning disappear.
I compared the author's Github username and the submitter's HN username and assumed that they were the same person. Though a private message is probably still a good idea.
Is there really a reason this couldn't be made to work on Firefox? Or could they just not be bothered?
