GCs are good for some things and bad for others. I wouldn’t want to write an OS with a GC but I also wouldn’t want to write a web server where I have to manually allocate and free memory. It’s all a trade off.

As a relative portion of the population, no. 2/7 of the US population don’t think that Trump is going to result in their being thrown into essentially concentration camps. He’s horrible, but it won’t result in that.

That’s bad. It’s not nearly as bad as “my way of life and the way of life for all my friends and family is completely at risk”

On Google Chrome, with adblock on, without my Google account signed in, in a new incognito tab with no extensions, I have the experience of it being invisible. When I go back to the same site on Firefox, logged onto my Google account, no ad

Or you mandate a docking system that works for all the bike companies. Commoditize the docks using public action and then the free market can actually be free to solve the rest.

Oh, you’re right of course, I was misremembering that they won’t be able to get the ssids of nearby wifi networks. However, a vpn is a solution to the ip address problem.
