Eh... You are not supposed to believe everything CIA says is true. The most basic application of 'Critical reading' and evaluation of their past statements disproves that. If you want to 'believe in' CIA (as opposed to t

Now that I've used tab containers quite a bit they do require much more cognitive work than profiles. Having to always be aware of which tab container you are on rather than which browser window profile. Maybe that's just me thoug

Or maybe it's as simple as dividing responsibilities. If they believe Puerto Rico is not part of the US then obviously other priorities take over. Kind of like on the airplane where you are supposed to put your own oxygen mask on first

Does that help though? I've used Airmail for a long time with "Autoload Remote Images" off and thought it worked. Then couple months ago I installed Little Snitch and saw the client contacting all kinds of places. I had to ex

Adaptive streaming sure, but can you not handle the different audio combinations using source-tags? And HEVC/VP9 with h264 fallback I would imagine is the primary use case they (WHATWG?) were thinking of supporting when creating the so

The latter reason I get, but looking at video-tag compatibility on https://caniuse.com/#feat=video shouldn't just offering h264 as the baseline and the higher resolution formats in source-tags ( https://caniu

Out of interest: why is a JS player required for video? Is it just to make more browsers compatible, the video more hackable for annotations/ads, or is there something else? Edit: And a related question: would Cloudflare Stream work wi

Does this bad boy have any chance of working when viewing from China? For what I understand content behind Cloudflare CDN doesn't work from there.

The elite still probably likes to use iDevices themselves. Once they get some other luxury brands going its time for the concessions.

I tried posting the question on Stackoverflow, but having had no responses I had to pay another user to place a bounty. Then I got a response and it's all good.

The great thing about AWS is that you shift the burden of responsibility to Amazon.

Sweden has a much longer history with large immigration than just the 'recent influx' by which I assume you mean post-Libya immigration. Many areas in Sweden have begun to face serious problems with having enough manpower to deal

Out of interest, how is a cap on immigration xenophobic? Is the mere introduction of a cap xenophobic? Or is there some set limit on the cap you could have, below which you are xenophobic? I know the answer is probably 'X type of peopl

I wonder how much I would lose if my Gmail was deleted... Everything I have is behind that address. What would be my best bet to move to if I'm too much of a bad to host my own email?

I remember watching the media report on Donald Trump's campaign speeches and debates late 2015. It seemed crazy, how could he say all those things! Why were the minorities getting beaten up at the rallies! I became interested and downl

Wow, what an amazing quote to pick since that is exactly the kind of thing a far-leftist would say. If the site is as bad as they say they should have picked a better quote than that obviously ironic one...

One problem is people reach out to client-side code earlier than they should. 90% of websites have no need for Javascript. Of those that do 90% won't be needing any "take over the world" frameworks, just little sprinkles of J
