This has been common knowledge and is trivially obvious. Chemo includes carcinogenic chemicals. If you're at a point where chemo is the right treatment, you are out of safer options.

The article said the responsibilities had been transferred to a DoD entity and tried to imply that having the DoD involved in White House operations is somehow bad. Yea that's a re-org. That's how you fire someone in government be

I don't think it's a complete story either way. It's just some bureaucrats complaining that they've been made redundant and from there we are lead by the author to conclude that the White House has inadequate IT security

Yea RICH people will do that. Everyone else will be living in third world conditions, and that's apparently okay.

Or maybe people will move to states that aren't so badly managed that critical infrastructure is unavailable as a matter of course.

No, but people are free to protest their lousy behavior.

Can you give some examples with specifics on how their changes are causing problems? I only recently became aware of the SameSite setting and was considering using it on my apps, but might hold off

It won't hurt, but the article pointed out the main performance fail was coming from all the increased strain that retina displays were causing on memory and cache. Since retina displays have 4x as many pixels, Firefox was doing 4x as

And explosions. The drones are pretty but unless they explode they're no substitute for fireworks.

Kind of like how the existence of terrorists and pedophiles justifies putting backdoors in all encryption. It ends at a place where all your rights get eroded away, and doesn't even end up protecting anyone anyway.

True, you'd need a pretty good water cooler to run at max all the time. I would gladly trade electricity for performance though. A lot of the stage gates in my compilation are single threaded, so a highly-threaded chip that consistentl

I'm curious about the 280 watt TDP, especially for the 16 core part. The 16 core Threadripper 2 had a 180 watt TDP, so what are they doing with the extra hundred watts on a smaller process? Could these chips be running at much higher f

I asked for an example and you're still arguing hypotheticals. And the PRC would not host its code on Gitlab, that's not even a realistic comparison. So far the only pattern I see is people making up hypothetical situations and us

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted but no comments addressing the points you raised. Can anyone provide an example of Nazi code being hosted on Gitlab? It might be nice to justify what otherwise looks like an absurd compari

Did you recently get laid off from the TSA? The only purpose your "threat level" categorization of social issues serves is to marginalize viewpoints you disagree with under the brush stroke of "progress at any cost." The

Google has already expressed their intention to stop supporting ad blocking extensions with Version 3 of their add-on manifest. So the writing has been on the wall for awhile, they're just turning the screws now.

you can't. once it finishes downloading and reboots into the update screen you can't go back. Catalina seems to at least have broken the ability to create symlinks in the root folder. So no more `cd /htdocs` on my laptop.

Yeah it's buried way down the article that all the clips are user submitted. I don't like these cloud surveillance devices, but I like even less being lied to by the media.

This is insane. It's the engineering equivalent of smashing one of your hands with a hammer and then being surprised it hurts. Well no shit. At that level, at the very least, it would make sense to run some amount of physical infrastru

This brings up really good points. One of the best practices going forward is to minimize storage (and logging) of any personally identifiable information. Under GDPR, IP addresses can be considered PII, so it makes sense to set up an anony

I would encourage you to release this under a free software license like GPL. People are increasingly skeptical of "platforms" and proprietary licensing.

Yeah it was a bit too smug. Having a bit of humility is never a bad thing. It's a good skill to learn, and experiences like this can help.

The point of contention here is whether the publisher should be liable in any lawsuit for non-defamatory speech. You are deliberately avoiding that point.
