I admit I have an anti-javascript agenda since most JavaScript on the web is used against me, to track me, show ads, autoplay videos, popups, exploits etc. I don't trust you, I don't want you to run code on my computer.

If I had $1.7b I would not give a shit about the taxes I had to pay because my family would be set for generations no matter what. That's what I don't get about the super rich that obsess over taxes, the insane greed when you coul

I try to imagine humanity a thousand years from now, still bound to the same increasingly inhospitable planet, paying for the sins of our generations but nowhere to escape to. With probably an abandoned Mars or moon colony. Just nothing to

Yes but it sounds weird to me because Carmack has spent his whole life involved with games but has not been known for an interest in game AI before.

The United Nation was effective in the mid 20th century at global coordination, but nationalist and anti-government attacks on it have rendered it ineffective. But it can be restored, climate change is global problem we need global coordina

You don't know if your extrapolation will be true. Maybe this tech is different. There's no doubt that it will change society. It is a revolution. It's impossible to predict the outcome of revolutions.

All the JS engines have been patched. As far as I'm aware there are no known spectre or meltdown exploits on any of the major JS engines.

My suspicion is that the GOP strategy, if there is one, is to run large deficits when they have power so that when Democrats get power they feel that they are unable to spend on social welfare . Reagan, W, and Trump increased the deficits w

Management can tell employees to do whatever they want, but employees can also tell management to shove it and quit. What's wrong with that?
