AFAIK, Microsoft is disabling manifest V2 extensions in Edge following the same timeline as Chrome[1]. Brave is continuing to run V2 extensions, but has no plan to stand up their own extension store[2], so it isn't clear how users will

That matches my experience. Kagi doesn't surface much content beyond what Google/Bing do. What it does better out of the box is guessing which content is low-quality and displaying so that it takes up less space, allowing you to s

The bill they are talking about[1] was completely worthless and deserved to be vetoed. All it did was require browsers and mobile OSes to have a "setting that enables a consumer to send an opt-out preference signal to businesses with w

Note that this was written 30 years ago based on observations of people in the literary community. At the time cultural relativism had become very big in academia, and would grow and peak in the general liberal population over the next deca

In the US, the rate at which we install utility scale solar and wind is currently limited by how quickly we can upgrade the grid to support it, with interconnect wait lists taking over 5 years in some areas[1]. Lifting tariffs wouldn't

duckdns.org is a dynamic DNS service used for servers that don't have a static IP. That is, this is being hosted out of someones house, and I wouldn't expect it to able to handle HN's load.

Do you have a source for this? In the past when I've been told this, the statistics referenced where based on whether a company was classified as being in in the manufacturing sector, not based on which jobs were classified as manufact

I despise the inverted pyramid structure, at least as it was practiced in most newspapers. Starting with the BLUF is good practice, but after that the article becomes a disjointed smattering of factual tidbits, quotes from random people, re

It is useful for determining whether a given traversal of a graph has encountered a cycle, rather than determining whether the entire graph has any cycles. So different from what the article was about, but still a nice tool to have in the b

As a US company they are required to get launch permits from the US regardless of where they launch from. Mixing jurisdictions would likely make things harder, not easier.

I'll take the out of date comments. They provide a red flag that either the original author was confused, or the behavior changed over time. At least then you can do code archeology to piece together descriptions of what the original i

Having a Lead Federal Agency (FAA's role here) during permitting is a very common and positive thing. It helps avoid the left hand not talking to the right hand when permits from multiple agencies are required for a single activity. If

I usually find it easier to relax my eyes (focus too far rather than too close), and so the opposite occurred - most of the holds appeared to float in a single plane (slightly wavy perhaps due to lighting differences), while the incorrect h

No, that's wrong. The original case covered both CDL and the "emergency" lending, but this appeal focused solely on CDL.

Yup. I love Debian and use it on all my home computers. I think the author hit it on the head when he described the security as inconsistent. Some maintainers put a great deal of thought into the security implications of the software they a

I do think that it has practical applications for the smaller ratios that are easy to remember and/or derive. For example 5:8 is a both a closer approximation than 3:5 that most people use, and is more convenient when miles are a multi

Article Galaxy contracts with publishers to allow them to resell papers[1], they aren't depending on a shaky interpretation of copyright law to resell digital goods. Which makes it even easier for the big publishers to cut them off, or

They are claiming both those things - copyright infringement and a trade dress infringement under the Lanham Act. That said, their trade dress claim doesn't go so far to claim ownership of an entire style, it is the use of that style i

Given how messy the relationship is between products, sellers and fulfillment on Amazon, I don't think it realistic to expect customers to know which to blame. For example, I received clearly counterfeit merchandise. I don't know

Ugh that is stupid. Outlook/Exchange already add a bunch of custom headers - you'd think they could use those to opt-in clients that are known to support this feature instead of making the rest of the world opt-out. That approach

While the birth rate is currently below replacement rate, it wasn't 20-30 years ago when the now new homeowners were being born. US birthrate hit a local maximum in 2007, so that will continue to add pressure to housing demand over the

Furthermore, the housing supply is supposed to be responding to demand. Its failure to do so is a problem regardless of where that demand is coming from. It has been clear that we have had a growing housing shortage for decades, but it took

The link is about the number of people Border Patrol caught, and thus won't be using US housing (or will be doing so legally as refugees). It's safe to assume there are others who don't get caught, but it provides no informat

There is a huge difference in being taxed to create and maintain infrastructure that you and your children will both use, and being taxed to fund future hypothetical infrastructure that you will never use. I don't like that we as a cou
