This could potentially be solved by using alias emails instead of just adding a tag to your normal e-mail address. I can imagine gmail offering a quick "generate alias" button that creates a EkTG522f3fhgtfh@gmail.com address that

If it's my own fault, I can at least curse my own lack of knowledge and expertise, and I can strive to do better in the future. When the cloud is down, all we can do is fiddle our thumbs and hope it doesn't happen again. Or maybe

Even if all development moves over to a selection of a few engines (which won't happen), you'd still have to have people who make the engines, and they don't pop out of nowhere.

While the roundabout trip would be a waste, it shouldn't be hard to just include a quick and simple feature detection before the polyfill is injected. I don't see any reason why one wouldn't do it.

Everybody wants the benefits that tax money gives society, but nobody wants to pay for it. Companies don't exist in a vacuum, as evident in that very few companies prefer to put their offices in the middle of the sea or deep the jungle

I'm probably going to do one step wrongly and get laughed at, but here goes: 7 000 000 000 humans * 0.67 hashes per day = 4 690 000 000 hashes per day (or 54282.4074074 per second) 54282H/s would give us a daily profit of: 0.00078

Nah, the new version is hosted at a new url. Even if we ignore the hash suggestion, you don't want to have some dev on the other side of the planet suddenly update one of your libraries on your live website. That should never be a thin

In general I prefer the compiler to yell at me rather than to secretly help me behind the scenes. Otherwise, I don't learn anything and I get burned later on when there is a situation where the safeguard can't help me.

One problem is that if the exploit is given silently to the company, they often don't change any of their practices (even if they fix that particular exploit), and more exploits soon surface, and maybe this time by people who plan to a
