More to this question, are there any limits on what you can put in orbit? e.g. could I put a satellite in orbit that broadcasts an SSTV signal that's goatse, or a handgun? For the sake of the question, assume I can launch/reside i

I wouldn't like to see that. What's an ad, what's a tracking script? Regulation like this usually has unintended consequences. I'd expect the push to come from browser vendors. Either by blocking ads that aren't in

I look forward to a future where the web has separate <ad> <tracker>, and <drm> tags. Would standardize all this garbo and make blocking components much easier. Can anyone just write an RFC?

If I had to guess as to his reasoning, it's because Mech Turk is artificial AI. You wouldn't survey an AI and expect to get anything meaningful.

If potential disasters were actively getting stopped, they'd be documented. I think it's just that nobody has both the ability and desire to destroy the world at the same time. Do we even know if smallpox would kill a modern human

Is it better to pass the length of the array, or a pointer to the last valid address in the array? (or one past that) There's probably an advantage in the two types being the same. Thought of this as I was reading the article.

Is ME enabled by default? I ask because I've never seen its webserver on my home network. Heck, I don't even get how it could connect to the internet on a powered off device without Ethernet.

Can someone just put this in an ISO standard already, so I know how wide to make my hallways?

Nice. Don't know how I feel about whether or not the script loads determining if you have adblock. Does mean you can't change the filename.

Do any adblockers block content before the page is reloaded? I thought it'd be necessary to do network filtering.

Hopefully my country handles this right. Since, we have DST in the winter, instead of the summer, our standard time is other countries' summer time (DST) and vice-versa. Right now, everything syncs up with Europe, but it mightn't

I don't know if linking to ublock origin specifically, is the right call. I just did it because I prefer it, and I had to link to something. (otherwise it kind of screws non-technical people) Hopefully ublock lasts longer than this scr
