Literally in the second paragraph: > oppose the proposed $3.5tn budget bill put forward by Democrats That makes it pretty clear to me that it's a $3.5TN budget bill. Also, that sentence is a link, so it's underlined. Difficult

The important part is having physical access to the phone. A targeted attack against you now requires a physical element, rather than being entirely online.

Do you believe that, if the numbers had been reversed, and COVID was much more fatal to children and young people than it was to the old, lockdowns wouldn’t have happened? That seems to be the implication of your post, but I find it difficu

> We never replaced ads. How can you be so disingenuous? You removed ads, then introduced your own advertising. You may see those as two separate events, but the consequence is the same as if you had chosen to replace ads.

Ugh, I did. I was unaware of Epik’s “reputation”, I’d just heard the brand name before so I thought it must be alright. I would have gone with someone else, but most registrars don’t offer the TLD I wanted, and Epik seemed to have the best

As I understand it, as someone who is also not in electronics, the cross at the top of the other capacitors you can see is designed as a pressure release, it’s a deliberate weakness in the structure of the capacitor so that if it fails, tha

Fair enough, I'm sorry for the harsh words, I think I'm just overly cynical, but I'm really glad RC was such a positive experience for you.

Maybe no-one technical, but here in the UK where DNS-based blocking is very prevalent, I know most of my non-technical friends don’t know how to access a website that’s been blocked in this way, and wouldn’t think to look for mirrors. I’ve

Tangential: Can anyone with experience in this field provide an estimate for how much this kind of audit costs? Just considering the viability of open source projects fundraising to cover the cost of an audit.

If it helps, I’m currently studying maths at university, and I’ve never found them very helpful for my understanding personally. Grant uses a lot of geometric/visual analogy and intuition which just isn’t how I think about problems. I

With the discussion of getting Rust into the Linux kernel, I think there's more interest in graceful recovery from OOM errors. The new Allocator API will (maybe?) help this.

Node is on a number of MDN pages (e.g: [0]). I think it's just APIs that Deno supports and Node doesn't (e.g: fetch) that are linked here, which is why it's not in their support matrices. 0: https://developer.mozil

I guess they're talking about GDP per capita? The UK's GDP per capita was ~$42,000 in 2019, which was lower than all the US states + DC, except for Mississippi according to [0]. It's pretty misleading to frame this as though

Thank you so much for your work on rustls by the way, such a great library, and the results of the last audit were very impressive :)

I would think that this was introduced at the same time as SNI was enabled for Lynx (2009-04-26 from the changelog, but I haven’t checked if it was actually vulnerable at that time). I don’t know if I’d call any URL processing issue basic t

I thought that too, I was a bit confused by the fact Mozilla are still operating the donations in the OP, which is why I mention Mozilla specifically. Definitely s/Mozilla/Thunderbird devs/ if that's wrong though.

For many people these are not valid options, no. If you grew up in a low-income household and entered a low-wage job, the likelihood of having sufficient savings to choose not to work, take time off to improve your skills, or move is very l

Do you have a source for the 60%+ number? I think paying 60% tax or higher on income above a certain threshold (e.g: $300,000, just throwing a number out there, so you'd pay 60% tax on $1 if you were earning $300,001, and a lower tax
