The internet was literally started as a government research project paid for with taxes...

7 transactions per second

Lol

Just conveniently ignoring the content of these sites/services that gets them banned in the first place...

OK but that's exactly how customers behave. You can say "this is silly" as much as you like but they're not bringing their dollars back anymore.

Me desperately trying to get a decent repro case for a bizarre networking bug in Halo: "Oh man, gotta remember, better not bribe any foreign officials while I sort this out."

Ad networks seem like a significantly larger attack surface to me...

The knock on effects of fines and the damage the systems cause when someone can't pay a fine are far worse than the effects of smoking.

How do people pay fines? If they are unable to pay what are the penalties? You also just created a black market for people who still want to smoke and that'll produce all kinds of fun.

Generally I'd say yes at least for individuals with possession of substances for personal use.

There's a lot more justification to go after manufacturers like Perdue Pharma who engage in fraud.

Smoking is bad but prohibition is worse. Being subjected to the carcercal system is worse for your health than smoking.

You have to be daft or a scammer to actual believe this.

I'm pretty sure this refers to Roku's top level search which searches across all apps not the search inside the YouTube app.

A lot of the world's best and brightest built nuclear bombs for decades.

I promise you the Vulkan C API is significantly cleaner.

Yeah that's pretty much what I had in mind.

I'd add further that more than likely once your API became something usable new use-cases and ideas came up. I wouldn't call major version numbers "failures" but "evolutions".

The context of your project changing over the years requiring breaking API changes is good and healthy.

What an abysmal mindset.

And if you don't have cable?

"Won't someone think of the poor businesses" is not a good argument lol.

SmartScreen exists solely to warn you about executables you already trust and be annoying.

Fortunately you can just disable it from the settings though.

Cool but apple also restricts apps based on content and enforces their own morality standards on what content is acceptable so I really don't care about the security aspect.

Could be auditory processing of random synaptic firings.

Yes, the person who brings the baton down on your head is an oppressor. They can literally just quit if they don't want to be oppressors.

More than likely the noise of the boats is what is enraging the Orcas.

Or they can just be employees because that's what they are...

They detected viral RNA, they did not claim it was infectious.

I don't think avoiding controversy should be the goal.

Wish they'd stop looking to CEOs then.

Easy for you to say if you're not in the effected communities...

He actually wrote a book about those travels:
