you are underestimating how lazy users are; many people disable right away ad-blockers or any extension as soon as it starts blocking any website that matters to them; I'm not really sure if its the majority or not; but its not a minor

So what? What happens next? Do I have to ask every creator of ad attacks extensions like AdNauseam if the ad network I wanna use fits in their definition of "good" before adding it to my site? Do I have to ask them for permission

> That's achievable by forcing change at either the advertiser, the network or the website owner. ...Or the user; you see, if people starts getting blocked for using this extension you know what's going to happen once word gets

You guys do realize what's going to happen as soon as a webpage can detect you have AdNauseam installed right? They gonna block you completely from their websites -I mean IP-tables blockage- and rightly so. If you don't like a web

Well, why instead of 24*7 at 100% not use it in periods of 4 hours (with one hour breaks) at 80%; closer to the use they were intended for.

Not really, the #1 reason is that came out at a time the most common explorer was IE8, and IE9 which was an improvement over 8 but still slow and clunky as hell (and no ad-blocking). The story would be different if Edge had existed back the

Probably a point in the middle would be the right compromise, most people think its binary (its closed hardware or its free+open) but I don't; I think there should be a hardware company (with all the stack: GPU + CPU + kernel) that goe

It's actually fairly easy to record web sites despite how dynamic they are; all you have to do is save the response data of each XHR (and similar requests) and the rest of the state (cookies, urls, date/time, localStorage, etc). F

Completely false; there is a reason almost no-body uses Microsoft Edge while the majority prefers Chrome. I'm 100% sure the top search query in any other search engine they place by default would be "google".

Jokes on you, at 2 levels I already overflowed. I would buy more emotional DDR memory for myself but the human body is closed hardware with no extra slots available.

Looking at a young woman and the first thing that clicks on my head its asking and answering "is she attractive?" in a matter of milliseconds; its annoying as hell... why can't my first through be something more interesting?

So if I tell you an avalanche is coming to kill you (and its true) is that fear mongering? Does it make me a "fear monguerer" to tell you that "you should run for your life" because well... you should run for your life?

That's the problem, you aren't going to convince any important amount of people; neither is me or everyone else who thinks the same way; so then we should focus into a more long-term solution, meaning kids, or more specifically: s

Chrome can block JavaScript before it's loaded, its what uBlock Origin does and others as well (using the WebRequest API available to Chrome extensions)

If things keep going this way (esp. in California) someday saying that only women can get pregnant is gonna count as "perpetuating gender stereotypes".

Yeah, that's why I use Math.random() * 5 and similar stuff in my scrapers. A lot of people access the web through smartphones so only allowing people with mouse movements seems a bit overkill.

Lets go deeper, lets create a RNN that changes the weights of this RNN! I fear someday we may accidentally discover (and disappoint ourselves) that consciousness (AKA the mind) its just a self-modifying binary system and not as magical as w

False accusations are the ones proven to be false; and not every single one that couldn't be confirmed by court or by a jury.

Yeah, and also a huge damage to the lives of the people falsely accused of sexual assault, like Brian Banks (5 years in jail), Lawrence McKinney (31 years in jail) and many others who will never get their time back.

That's like saying passwords are security-by-obscurity. I never said I wanted banks to run on crypto. Overall it is a bit sad your arguments reached this low quality; I was expecting some interesting counter-arguments instead of these

Data centers need security regardless of cryptocurrency, you can't say the same about money and banks; so your point is moot. To install rootkits you need to know where the computers are or some way to get to them, and that's 100

That doesn't make sense; you are comparing the creation of a currency against the usage of other. The finance sector includes the creation of cash (its paper, price of counterfeit measures); the transportation of cash (think ATMs), the
