Browser competition doesn't matter much for interoperability, because they don't restrict what sites you can use. It's only a risk if browsers start banning sites like the app stores do.

And open source Chromium and Firefox are bulwark against that, with active fork ecosystems.

It's weird to have this tone of hating on someone for not having two homes. If he can live without occupying a giant property, good on him. Why should only rich people get allotments?

Any tax he owes can be deducted from his carbon/pollution under-footprint.

That's only a third of the 800 mile commute.

Many people helped create the industry. This article focused on two of them.

Is Eclipse modern? Do new programmers and projects use it? It has been in decline for years.

Yes. Another common example is that in languages without pointers, the lack of aliasing enables optimizations that are impossible for languages with pointers.

Also, C compilers generate efficient code by assuming undefined behavior cannot happen. (This sometimes corrupts buggy programs, because the type system can't guarantee undefined behavior isn't triggered.)

11 comments on HN so far, discussing politics and complaints about Twitter, and so far not one has responded to the content of the article, in which Twitter claims to have locked every account that posted a picture of a rape victim's family, violating its policy on doxxing.

"small penis" was Chrichton making a mean joke, not a legal theory.

> He described how the judges found Murray guilty of “jigsaw identification,” which refers to the “possibility that a person may piece together information from various sources to arrive at the identification of a protected witness.”

Why isn't every advertising/marketing data broker in jail for "jigsaw identification"?

Why pay $1400 when you can get the same results for free?

Do you hire a lottery number picker service?

A gravimeter is not a stick.

The truth matters!

I have a bunch of lies I'd like the Times to publish to promote my business. How do I get an article?

That approach just helps con artists rip off desperate ignorant people, promoting a worldview that magic is a viable alternative to scientific reality, a view held by a dangerously large and easily exploited percentage of the population.

What's better?

Making a strong case for the desperation of the drought and advocating for practical solutions? Or helping con artists steal huge sums of money from desperate people?

Bold choice, trying to upsell me with a monstrously bullshit headline

Wind? Gravity? Leverage in how the metal leans on the plastic?

How could a ley line do nothing but make a metal bar wiggle arbitrarily and inconsistently?

Did you find any water?

Di Caprio doesn't have the talent nor has he put in the work to become a pro wrestler.

Steve Jobs died before Cardi B got famous.

Remember that SPOILER, Her eventually found that humans were unsatisfying company.

The idea of "died by suicide" is that it presents it as more like succumbing to a disease, not blaming the deceased. It puts the focus on loss of life, not the taking of life.

Not quite analogous, but if someone has epileptic seizure and falls and cracks their skull and dies, we don't says they threw themselves to the ground, even though their own brain caused them to go off balance and fall.

Isn't there a difference between attacking with well founded facts, and attacking with opinions and lies?

Do "citations" affect the data? Citations are just for anti-plagiarism and for clout building, not science.

Do meta analyses not control for the influence of outlier studies?

Could I just make up a phony result with 100000000x alleged effect and drown out all other studies in every meta analysis?

Yes but it's not a joke, it's an inference.

How can that be possible? 99.5% accuracy in knowing status? That's absurdly high, considering, just for a start, more than 0.5% of people have cognitive disorders that would interfere with accurate surveying.

And how many of those 3827 Internet study participants got tested?

How is it "herd immunity" If the virus is still spreading (and killing)?

No, because young adults have low vaccination rate, so they are still circulating Covid but dying at low rates.

Meanwhile, old adults are almost all vaccinated, but have a much higher CFR.

How will you enforce that law without a licensee's id # on the box?

Who is the litterer? The owner of the box or the person who put a shirt in it?

The license gives customers a way to track your reputation.
