   I can’t believe I’m defending a Yahoo tech blogger, but this is unnecessarily rude. You don’t need to be an attorney to report on legislation, and being from Portland has absolutely no bearing on his qualifications. You’re just appealing to

   All of these were frankly terrible. I guess Grok’s “informal” version sounded the most like a real human, but only because it reads exactly like an Elon tweet (including his favorite emoji!). It’s obvious what they’ve been training on.

   As a human, I do tend to mostly care about the period of the Earth's history that has allowed humans to exist. I'm sure the Mesozoic was nice, but I wouldn't want to live there!

   Will this be any less ridiculously loud than the conventional helicopters that fly over Brooklyn all day ferrying people to JFK?

    That's not totally true. Orion supports Chrome/FF WebExtensions, for example. The engine does (practically, even in the EU) have to be WebKit, but that's not the same thing as a "Safari skin."

    That logic doesn’t make any sense to me. Game programming, art, and even marketing are highly specific niches within those broader fields. You can’t pick any random programmer off the street and get them up to speed on game development ov

    Allowing people to pay a fair price for the resources they need to start a business (rather than paying scalper prices to the bridge trolls who got there first) serves the public good. “For the public good” includes more than just feeding b

    Well, if we're discussing morality, it is generally considered immoral to enrich yourself at the expense of the public good.

    If you're constructing your unsandboxed parent document HTML using string concatenation, you might as well not use the sandboxed iframe at all. But presumably someone who bothers to sandbox untrusted content also knows about setAttribu

    And any additional CSP directives can only narrow what's allowed. Also works with headers plus <meta> - <meta>s can restrict the CSP even more than what the headers specified, but they can't widen it.

    I don’t know about immoral, but it is at the very least a bit sleazy. When I look for domains for side projects, I very rarely have to abandon a name because it’s been taken by an actual operational service; it’s almost always because someo

    Is it actually the case that 5.5 is that much better at implementing specs than its very capable predecessor released a month ago? Just seems like a baseless and silly claim about a model that has barely been out long enough for anyone to
