Then the OP used a bad framing, because it was apparent to me that they opposed QUIC in general, not QUIC in Chrome. Either way, I still fail to see how this relates to the original complaint that QUIC somehow leads to ads.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I just imported a QUIC library and used it with a self-signed certificate. No extra steps required, either on the server or the client side. Yes, the protocol is weird, compared to TCP.

What's the difference what tool is used to police speech? I fail to see any difference in goodness between this and any conceivable alternative..

This doesn't have much to do with QUIC. If HTTP/3 was based upon another transport protocol, you'd have the exact same problems. You can use QUIC with custom certs without any trouble.

The crackers question changes from amount to fairness. It's possible that the kid uses a different rule to evaluate it. Like "a small person needs small portions" or some variation. I'd be convinced that the kid doesn&#x

Ah, yes, and my favorite: white text on a white background. Default to defaults.

You don't need a keyboard to use a text field. You could be pasting a path. Or using some assistive technology like dictation. Or be using a phone where there's a way to type but no way to press ctrl (althouth the UI on a phone sh

How do I even find this out? When I ask the search engine about native plants in the nearest metropoly, closest I get is someone selling seed packs, without any clear scientific basis for their being native.

As a moral relativist, I'd go even farther: I derive my values from me. Or my own intuition. Since I believe values to follow are arbitrary, it doesn't matter that much where they are derived from. Religion? Sure. Bodily pleasure?

Ironic that they prefer to tell us stories rather than show the facts.

It's not. I've personally heard it used to mean political speech in general, and separately to mean dishonest political speech internally. The definition seems to vary based on cultural background.

"Mimicry of intelligence isn't intelligence" is a big assumption. It's like saying "fake it until you make it" doesn't work. It's like saying that two undistinguishable properties are nevertheless not

Multiple tools from multiple people make it less likely that the entire ecosystem is going to collapse, but makes it likelier that any one tool will stop working. But that's not even my main problem. Integration is. Integration consoli

I'm using Firefox. I keep running into the problem of not being able to find the website I visited. If the concept is not in the URL or the page title, it might as well not exist in the history. I run into the problem of disappearing d

The problem is that the business has a centralized coordination structure, and for the employees, there isn't any apart from the business that connected them. Maybe a union is what could help.

Italy's geography is not universally worse. The mostly linear shape limits the number of required connections between stations: you only need a couple 1000km long distance lines to connect everything on the north-south axis, whereas in

How did they manage to squeeze 98 lines on 10.5 square inches? That's less than 68cm². For 5mm×5mm characters that area can fit 272 characters, so not even 3 characters per line.

It's not clear from your comment, did you pay for commercial software or paid for an open source contributor's time? And, regardless of the answer, what was your experience with the other option, for comparison?

How much of a consensus is there though, when as soon as you start digging at the edges, the consensus dissolves? And the edges are boundaries of the pool of the experiences we know. What about the experiences we don't know? What if we

Depends on how technical the audience of this post should be. Putting an accurate example which is only understandable to someone with years of experience might make newbies think it's a made up concern.

I think it does matter that we admit other kinds of flying or intelligence because then we allow the possibility of having a blind spot. We already have alien intelligences on this planet that are not often getting invoked in discussions

Same goes for the loop example, where the i variable has a different scope. I think those are meant to be illustrative of an idea rather than exact examples.
