If Dems had no intention to fix these loopholes why would they waste time making a bunch of hoopla about it? Words imply intent. Would you rather they say nothing and look away, as the Republicans are? Dems are at least doing something besi

Unrelated but a ton of work is being put into HTTP/3 while ESNI has been lingering in draft spec for years. As far as protocol work, I think their priorities are wrong. Most wireless protocols hide packet loss from upper layers anyways

This is multi-pronged. Chip manufacturing output isn't flexible, and in the last year we've had: * COVID stay at home * Every kid wants to be a streamer * E-sports becoming a real sport * 2 new console releases * Amazing new CPU&

I'm not as excited about this as I was for HTTP/2 . Every benchmark I've seen is <5% performance improvement. I've heard the difference is larger on cellular networks with packet loss but haven't seen examples. W

The languages are kin, but Java has more going for it. C# is much smaller community. Microsoft isn't as good about avoiding breaking changes. Java has more quality tooling options. The CLR GC is way worse. Shenandoah and ZGC, and even

IMO terrible Java code is partially due to how good the JVM is. Performance is within spitting distance of native code, so people can do TERRIBLE things and it won't tank performance. Endless abstraction, loading giant things into RAM,

IMO it's the other way around. Java has some of the best IDE's around so everyone uses them. You can code in notepad and compile with maven but why would you? With Rust you code in VIM because there's nothing better. Improvin

Development is going the other way at my org. Our JS services quickly became "out of date", and nobody wants to put in the massive effort required to bring them up to modern JS language features, build tools, and libraries. In con

Java is rock stable and "complete". Not just the language itself. Build tools, JVM, profiling, dependency management. Everything is at least decent, most language problems were solved years ago. I have used many languages and noth

Antitrust most likely. FLOC + anything else is probably identifying too. If there's a couple thousand FLOC ids, you only need one more identifier with that level of specificity to form a unique identifier. IP alone might be enough

Google's FLOC has an unfixable problem. As soon as other advertisers create their own FLOC's, anonymity goes away. No matter how careful Google is to make sure these ID's aren't unique, as soon as users have several FLOC

They need to ban user tracking already. The advertising industry was fine for thousands of years without it. Instead of tracking users, you put ads in places your audience likes. Google and the other ad networks don't like this, becaus

Biden's jobs plan is largely a fig leaf to the poor rural voters that believe America has left them behind. Initiatives like 100% rural broadband are less about making the most efficient use of resources, and more about attempting to b

Some things. WASM binary size is highly dependent on optimization level. If your WASM is anywhere near the size of your JS, something is off with your compiler settings. Since Rust and C++ are statically typed, compilers can use LTO to remo

These are both Adenovirus vectored vaccines. My theory is that plain Adenovirus also causes clots, but likewise at percentages so low you would never see them in data. Unless you infected millions of people with the same strain, like these

It's barely sufficient. Much of the docs is in various pull requests from others adding models. In another reply a user posted a better maintained fork repo

Theres another option. Better vetting for apps and extensions that use dangerous API's. It's disingenuous to say "these API's are too dangerous to use" when the browser itself does all the things the API could. Why

I could be wrong, but I believe all the videos we've seen were leaked first, then acknowledged. That alone suggests the military has something to hide Since they've already been leaked, the best US can do is try to deflect. Releas

I think the future is machine learning based blocking. Ads are obvious, they have to be for users to see them. You could probably use text classification and object recognition to filter ads effectively. And you could do it from the view la

This is already happening. Used Leaf and Tesla modules are quite expensive because people buy them up for off grid solar setups. You can hook a Tesla or Leaf module to a BMS and charge controller that supports lithium like Victron, and have
