I am glad to see the cookie law, as misguided as it was, be enforced. Online advertising is an oligopoly with a stronghold on network effects. However, I wish the law were solely about sites working with cookies disabled. The prompt on ever

I always turn off DRM. If the content is only available via DRM, I won't watch it. End of story. My ISP also offers TV for "free". I used to watch it, but recently they switched to a DRM player and I won't use it anymore

I suppose if you're coming from Python, you could use Rust (with PyO3) instead of C/C++/Cython in something similar to the Numpy/ML lower-level implementations. But I wish there were a language that solved the two-langua

There have been very few 3D flash games I've played. But I see that ActionScript is not supported in HTML output either, so I agree that it doesn't compete much.

Reaching mass understanding? Innumeracy is everywhere I look. Stats are not moving the needle. On the other hand, you can use stats for personal gain. For instance, prediction markets. That might have an impact.

Normally, I'm a capitalist. But when large companies get to control every aspect of one's life, and one is practically forced to use a bank, and banks are an oligopoly, I favor state intervention. The money supply, controlled most

I am somewhat surprised they tout self-ownership, which would work against any fractional reserve scheme that exchanges might try with customer funds. > First, self-custodial wallets allow customers to store their own crypto in a way whe

It has its uses. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine But I agree that many clips were pointless in OP's article (and distract, given lack of pausing controls).

Oh, the dried yeast sometimes fails for me as well. Sometimes partially but not completely, in which case I add two packets (even though one should be enough as per instructions). But I don't feel like paying for mystery yeast. I found

I am referring to the act of vomiting itself - a defense against the spoiled food in its entirety. I am hoping people would find fresher food as a consequence.

If you keep the front-end dumb, you can do back-end development. Check out this site. Or you could forego front-end completely and work on APIs. But you'd need some way for customers to pay.
