It's almost every site big and small, so there must be plenty of cases where they don't even want to track users.

I don't really buy the nuclear deterrence thing. Say a country just invested in conventional military and went to war with a nuclear one, maybe even full-on invasion trying to capture it. They really gonna get nuked? Arab nations did t

What do they get for cooperation? This reminds me of Diplomacy (the board game), where there are clear scoring rules kinda like Prisoner's Dilemma.

The part about bike lanes is annoying. Whenever some city or district goes all in on bike lanes, the end result is almost nobody using those, and more congestion. It makes sense in like Manhattan.

Two people crashing in big SUVs/trucks aren't really safer than two people crashing in smaller cars. As for the difference, my guess is the driving standards.

It takes less power to accelerate a lighter car, but about the same to keep it moving. And some of the energy is recouped during gen-braking.

Was this that one year when the whole auto market was completely screwed up? This is normally not an issue. Also why do you need a hatchback instead of just a regular car?

This is the sole reason I've always hated Teslas. Didn't care that they're EV and new and have stereotypes about the drivers, just that the lights are way brighter. Or sometimes pointed further up out of the factory for some

How are we being forced to buy SUVs? There are plenty of regular cars for sale.

So every article on some site I try to read doesn't throw a full-page modal, sometimes with a delay. At least reader mode will sometimes ignore those banners.

The problem is usually when you're using notepad, it's in some situation where you don't want to install another exe. Like you're using someone else's PC or a random one in a library or something. This needs to be b

I've never liked Windows but did appreciate the dumb simplicity of parts of it. Especially MS Paint. Like Mac Preview has always had all these nice advanced features, but lacked one simple thing most people need, a frikin pencil tool.

I'm pretty sure this is right, except does geo-blocking legally release you from the liability of an EU citizen using a VPN?

I mean .org or .gov is fine, just not stuff like .online or .info.

How easy is it really, seeing how nearly every website ends up having them? Even if they don't think it's needed, seems the legal risk isn't worth.

I want to be pedantic. It's not the company making my browser store/serve cookies, the browser is doing that itself. If you really care, you can turn that off or wipe after session. And third-party cookies in particular are alread

I don't care if the company does that

I don't care if they go sovereign, but the GDPR crap is annoying. Would be funny if the US just forced them to get rid of it.

Because the entire security mechanism of the www today is "look at the domain name to make sure it matches." And the TLD is at the end where people might miss it.

In my opinion, a .online domain is unsafe. 99% of people only visit ".com"s unless they clicked a scam link. Completely blocking the site is overkill, but the browser should warn you about it like it does with non-SSL sites.

Sure if they can pull it off, but how can they do this without scaring away all future customers?

About the iPhone making computing boring: PC video game market got much stronger in the late 2000s and 2010s. Maybe the share of people using phones as computers went up, but also the number of people heavily using computers in general did.

The comment said social media is addictive "like tobacco." Not that it's literally a drug.

I don't even care about Discord adding ID verification to unlock certain features. Not going to give them my ID of course, just gonna use it as always. If they later tighten things to the point where it's unusable, sure, I'll

"The web platform object model inherits a lot of 1990s OOP flavor, with garbage collection, deep inheritance hierarchies, and so on. Rust’s ownership model is not a natural fit for that." I'm confused about this part. What pa
