The F-35 is cheaper than most of the 4th generation fighters on the market. Cheaper than Eurofighter, cheaper than Rafale, cheaper than Gripen.

1) you could at least be bothered to spell "Palestinian" correctly 2) not even true, they use F-15E for missions that don't need stealth, they have way more payload capacity

Ukraine does it to avoid assisting Russian damage assessment and targeting efforts. Avoiding embarrassment is not really part of the equation, especially when they need to push for more international support.

It is so frustrating how every thread about Mozilla has people getting upset about contradictory things. Half the thread impunes Mozilla for taking so much money from Google and imply that they are controlled opposition, and the other half

This is not meant to be an alternative for Chrome's profile switching. It's a different use case entirely. As you yourself mention, Firefox has actual profile support, which may not be as good as Chrome's, but at least compa

There is "only one Firefox" but Firefox exists in a market that is not just commoditized, but subsidized to the tune of billions by 3 of the 10 largest companies in the world. The world may need Firefox but it's funny how peo

Firefox incorporated parts of the Servo effort which were able to reach maturity. Stylo (Firefox's current CSS engine) and Webrender (the rendering engine) and a few other small components came from the Servo project. Most other parts

That's certainly true - and would also be true (maybe even moreso) if vendoring dependencies was widespread. Seems just as easy to hide things in a "vendored" directory that's 20x the size of the library.

I think it just depends on whether or not you interpret the phrase "no one knows" neutrally or pessimistically. Saying that there could be something there, but "no one knows" doesn't mean that there is something t

That is unequivocally true with some things. You don't want people exercising their "self-determination" to own private nukes.
