Is it really a conspiracy if US intelligence agencies say Russia has been stirring up shit? The way right wingers bend over backwards to pretend that Russia doesn't have a long history of this sort of thing never ceases to amaze me.

One of the cops died of injuries sustained on site, lets stop pretending this wasn't a violent confrontation. There were plenty of serious injuries. Does this look like a peaceful protest, to you? https://www.youtube.com&#x2

The author doesn't spell it out but he mentions that the idiot story about Hunter Biden's laptop was totally real and not Russia using Giuliani like a stooge and he implies that if you don't think covid was leaked from a lab

Any tips on getting this to run as an extension?

Sure, if you longer have a way to use an older version of MacOS. Not a good idea to leave your sole copy on a machine you don't have full control over.

It's not going away any time soon, the app is still available for MacOS and the browser extensions work just fine. Eventually they will stop supporting them but that'll just mean at some point in the future a MacOS/firefox&#x

What's wrong with having a robust stdlib? Are those extra 50 megabytes really a problem?

It's amazing that something that seems as obvious and simple as "shipping stuff in a box" is a relatively recent innovation. Makes me wonder what seemingly obvious thing we're not aware of right now that will be commonpl

I bought the family plan (5 licenses, I think) for $100 back in 2013. I can't upgrade past 1Password 6, but I'm ok with that. It works well enough that I can't justify a subscription just to get a few of the newer features th

I think their biggest ask is for GM to stop using temp workers to get around union obligations. When you have a "temp worker" who has been working for you for 4-5 years, they should probably be classified as an employee.

Wouldn't the package need to be executed as root, though? Or does spectre/meltdown not require privileged access?

Wouldn't you need to install those packages as root for the code to have privileges to take advantage of that exploit?

I've played with VS Code a bit, it's a pretty cool tool for small scale scripting, but it's not really a replacement for a full fledged IDE. Hopefully Jetbrains will release their cross platform C# IDE sometime soon. I would

It's pretty remarkable that Texas and California seem to elect the scummiest people possible to the Senate. I guess that's what happens when you have a massive population of mostly apathetic voters? I really think this country wou
