Nobody suggested nationalization. Driving away or destroying businesses that harm the country is the goal, not a consequence that only you realize. Asserting that doing so results in net capital loss is going out on a limb at best, safe hav

It’s a respectable goal but a broken implementation. Only one side of the story is presented, without opposition, without fact-finding or evidence. A court that worked like that would be obviously broken. The consequences here are only vali

People know full well what they're talking about: holding domains for profit, not any crime, not domain underuse, not domain snatching. That may not be the legal definition of "domain squatting", but neither are the common an

The UX for saving and sharing videos is the same as for images, including right click to save. You and I don't get that UX, though, because Twitter, Google, Facebook, Netflix, and most websites write code to fight off-site sharing and

Thank you for your comment. Since HTTPS traffic already reveals communicating IPs to nation-state actors, could you clarify what attack vector removing user IP info from authoritative DNS queries protects against? In what way does Cloudflar

What are people’s thoughts on an ideal personal domain name? firstlast.com seems the obvious choice, but it gets pompous when used for things you’re the author of but not the subject of, like “andrewredford.com/my-js-library” or “andre

“If” statements and loops already make use of anonymous blocks, and I think serve as ample demonstration that, no, not all blocks are better off named. What’s missing is the ability to use those blocks wherever an expression is expected.
