In incognito mode, the FileSystem API is disabled, so anyone can tell you are in incognito mode by checking it Bloomberg actually has the best paywall fingerprinting in the business. Using a new browser won't help either

I'm confused why this comment is here.

I don't like it. I thought the old layout was pretty much perfect, no need to change anything.

Seems strange that they didn't include a fan... I bought a $300 ASUS laptop a while ago, and it runs surprisingly well. In my opinion, the best 'budget' price range is 300 - 400, less than that will be too bad

You are concerned about Google having "access" to network traffic, but you have no concerns about putting TeamViewer on someone else's machine?

And the majority opinion is basically: if you fire a male employee for being with another man, its not a sexual orientation issue since the basis for your firing is that the employee is male. Thus, all protections apply

And the question you should ask is, does HSBC actually need to preserve snapshot isolation when set at the highest consistency level? If the answer is no, then your comment is irrelevant.

> “X uses Y therefore Y is good” in general is a terrible argument Which is not his argument. His argument is "X uses Y, and X doesn't have problems with Y, so Y is good enough for X at least". Which is a completely valid

That doesn't answer the question. You never should have to block the UI thread. That's just poor application design, independent of the file format; you cannot blame that on SQLite.

It's funny you use that as an example, since Firefox itself uses SQLite as the application file format for history and bookmarks...

> if your program or computer dies half way, your file is hosed Doesn't this apply to writing files in general? It's not unique to SQLite... Edit: Nope, SQLite is designed to be protected against crashes, even OS crashes.

If you need sharding and replication, just use a different database. SQLite is not intended to solve those problems. As for high-availability, isn't a single file on your disk the most available thing there is? :)

Seriously, Lambda does not make sense for their use case.

Of course its unnecessary. The point is that you can do it in the cloud, instead of on a laptop at starbucks...

No, Google's scraping is opt-out only, which they offer to be friendly. Google does not need anyone's permission to scrape publicly accessible data, and they are not required to follow any opt-out requests.

Just because its in the ToS doesn't mean its enforceable. That line is not enforceable in the US.

People who use the network also participate in the network themselves.

You don't have freedom of speech protections against your private employer. You only have protection against government action. And there is no government action in this story.

Wanting to be silent at work and thinking that silence is being complicit are both compatible beliefs. Work isn't your entire life, you can be loud outside of work and yet still be silent at work. Think of the phrase, "Don'

"Autopilot" is also used in planes, despite the fact that we require a pilot and co-pilot to be always active and alert.

No, because you need to convince 3rd parties to participate, and you need to convince a majority of these parties to be honest.

Is it a weapon if it has no weapon capabilities? Its just a fast plane. Also, weapons can still be a hobby. It sounds like his hobby is both aerospace engineering and sports flying, which sounds like a fun combination in my opinion.
