This is IMO part of the problem with common law: the judge rarely inquires into matters before them, instead relying on arguments presented by lawyers, so the party which can afford better lawyers tends to win. In continental law, judges ro

As an Eastern European with some experience with autocratic government I quite look up to the U.S. as to a champion of democratic culture, but among two major things that baffle me (healthcare being the other) is why there is such a high co

Please correct me if I am wrong, but would not such a tracking be circumvented by enabling first party isolation in the browser? As far as I know, Firefox has such feature implemented: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/11&#x2

I used to be a biomedical engineering technician before becoming a software dev, and I have to say I somewhat miss the immediate positive feedback from actual users when you solve a problem. If anyone feels similar after moving into softwar

Don't they have to present a warrant in the US if they decide to detain you in the middle of the night? They presented nothing of the sort in this video, and even hesitated to tell the reason of the arrest. I come from a post-communist

After regenerating all day at work, I swap with my wife in the duty taking care for my 9mo toddler. I love her, but I still look forward to being back at my work PC. Hopefully it gets better with time.

How can I, as a mere user, support Mozilla (except spreading the word)? Is it still true that their main source of income is a search agreement with Google?

I'm sure it is an interesting engineering exercise, but I struggle to think of a situation where I would fire a browser to use the terminal instead of just opening a terminal.

My experience: I work in one of the more conservative IT branches (healthcare IT) and the grey beards I have met (usually old coders who did not submit to the management lure) were most of the time really inspiring people in terms of profes

Ratner apparently bragged too much, which cost his company a fortune, which apparently was not his intent. I wonder, if there is a documented case of someone causing similar loss just for the reason of "having enough" with the pur

I wonder wether there are already any military applications based on wave-based imaging. I assume one would gain significant advantage having such capability, especially in urban warfare.

I am quite satisfied with Firefox's Multi-Account containers. As an added bonus, tabs associated with different containers can share the same Firefox window.

A reminder to all AMP-haters like me: When using Firefox mobile, Google search results become free of AMP crap. Also, you get the added benefit of a browser whose maker has no interest in tracking your every move.
