Rushed? It was announced more than two years ago, as I recall. Hmm... August, 2015.

That depends, really. Firefox usage is barely in the double digits and has been steadily declining for quite a while. If it becomes a hassle, then maybe. I'd expect them to boot Safari users first. We will have to see how it goes.

Privacy is a tricky thing and a bit of a spectrum. I will happily give up some information in exchange for a service that I like. I'll happily give Google my search history, including typos in the search bar, in exchange for them tailo

That's not quite accurate. The score adjustments are periodic, not constant. The 100 average is from some years ago, and will be adjusted some time in the future. It is not constantly changing to reflect current scores.

A quick check of the definition confirms that 'rule of law' doesn't actually have anything to do with democracy, at least according to Google's results.

Entropy. It's the law.

If you make a fortune and then turn around and invest that fortune into a new project, you no longer have your fortune. Meaning, he's probably limited his investments into the new company.

I'd guess the two biggest issues would be bloat and expectations. Doing so is going to add bloat that is needless to the majority of people. If they add support for Tor, people are going to expect them to add support for more protocol

I'm not sure what is worse, the XSS or that the system allows transfer of assets without human intervention. Probably the latter, actually. Why would a coin system even allow that? That is, shall we say, not the best idea.

If it is any indication, I'm the same KGIII that has been online since, well, before it was world wide. Never have I made a comment, or not made one, based on possible votes. At least not that I can recall, I used to drink and post. So

I don't know enough about Brexit to form an opinion, which is good. It enables to to seriously ask this question. Have you actually considered that your opinion on Brexit could be wrong? Have you really given that any consideration? I

I think intelligence is our ability to learn and knowledge is what we have already learned. I think wisdom is knowing which one of those is not applicable for a given situation. It is a combination of intuition and experience, knowing if yo

It has been a fun ride. It's nearing the end and I have no complaints. I'd not go around again, make some room for the next set of riders.

This very thread is about a negative. Would you rather they just ignore it?

I was only addressing their idea that the wealthier wouldn't have access to cash in the event of an internet outage. In my limited experience, they might. In the few cases I know of, they would. However, it's a very small and bias

Oh absolutely, but I am not sure that the wealthier people don't have access to cash. That's what I was addressing. They may use plastic on a daily basis, but I'd be surprised if they didn't have near immediate access to

It pains me to think that I'm going to have to take up programming again. I don't like it. I'm not good at it. But, it's the only reliable way I have of frustrating myself to the point of learning on a computer. What&#x2

Right. It clumps together when it falls, so it is like a lightly packed wet snowball when it reaches the surface. I typed out a bit more of a description in my response to their same post. I'm not really sure what to call it?

Definitely not what we call sleet. These are balls of slush, not liquid but slush. They'll have varied sizes, weights, and consistency. Sleet, here, is more like frozen rain. Picture nearly melted snowflakes, on the verge of melting -

The number isn't high enough to be meaningful, but many of the wealthier folks that I know have safes built into their homes and offices. Some even have a safe built into their car and may have another built into their RV, if they have

The goal of communication is to accurately exchange information. Doing so accurately requires both parties adhering to rules they have previously agreed on. If you don't want to accurately exchange information, that is a choice you can

I am suitably impressed. I love to see constructive use of obscure vocabulary. HN constantly surprises me with the intelligence of some posters. It reminds me, at times, of my university days. That may not seem like a compliment, but it is

Indeed, so give me the option for that. I don't mind paying for software. Hell, I used to pay for my browser. Or, you know, stop dumbing it down in the first place. When you design for the lowest common denominator, you get users that

We are very similar, in those regards. I don't mind if people post my photos, but I ask that they not tag me in them. I don't have any accounts on what people call social media sites. (I'd argue that Slashdot qualifies as a s

My toaster still has a slider to select how long I want to cook it. I wrote a long reply to the other person, I think I summed it up there. You can feel free to expand the thread and read it. It's one of my better rants, if I do say so

Maybe if they had to struggle, they'd learn? If we old people could do it, the next generation is smart enough to do it. Hell, they've got Google to help them. It's not like I'm expecting a return of dip switches and mul

I believe LinkedIn just lost a case for trying to disallow that. I'm not sure of the morality of it, but it looks like it is legal to do so. Citation/info: https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/15/16148250

Why is that? It used to be that there were help files and you pushed buttons until you figured out what they did. You had pages and pages of comfiguation options. You had manuals that explained things - without needing a browser. You had se
