I never had issues running public http servers on residential isp connections. It's fine unless you get massive traffic.

I don't get it, isn't it already easy to run your own server in a closet at home? You need a static IP (which is still very common, and getting easier with IPv6) and a linux box that is always plugged in. It's less convenient

Isn't this mostly an issue for silicon fabrication? CPUs hardened against space radiation environments are based on existing "regular" designs and I'd expect almost no changes in digital logic.

Aren't all self-driving systems complex enough to require a full OS like linux? And those systems are very much "controlling the car". Of course it makes sense to have a special-purpose microcontroller that handles real-time

This will indeed age very poorly. The article is also of poor quality, making lame swipes at ride-sharing and electric cars as well.

It would be great if strings and especially date-time values always carried locale and timezone information with them. It would take slightly more memory but not significant on modern machines.

Because it's a bad idea to replace a private monopoly with a regulated state monopoly. Regulation should instead focus on ensuring that consumers have multiple choices, as is the case in other countries.

The "HTTPS Everywhere" extension should also prevent against this, right? Since it blocks all http traffic. I always keep it enabled and there are almost no sites that require exceptions except on corporate intranet.

What would it take to replace PDF with a zipped html? As far as a I know the svg format has comparable capabilities for graphics, all that is missing is a "page model" for html which would have to be invented.

Shouldn't proper IOMMU usage prevent this? In theory when properly configured the DSP or GPU should be unable to touch system RAM outside of buffers that are specifically assigned to them. I'm not very familiar with the status of
