…This one? This one isn’t very privacy-friendly or open. And that raises all the previous questions again. Should they maybe have learned something about clandestinely fucking with people’s systems?

Look, at this point it’s not the user’s responsibility to “chill out”. It’s very much Firefox’s responsibility to try to repair their reputation by: 1. being completely transparent about all the mechanisms that data or code can be pushed to

Both sound like Nickelback to me so I don’t know…

Some of the comments here are a little too optimistic, although this is a victory. The fight is not over yet. The directive needs to be written, and ideally in a way that prevents this from being brought back to the table again.

Even if that were true, would that have reduced innovation? How many other innovators has Amazon crushed—fueled by the “top income”?

Not sure what you mean by optimize, but MLB teams often play several games against each other in a row. But that’s slightly different because it could be seen to change the dynamic form performance over a season to fewer best out of N event

God, Go is tedious to read. Also, just use a code formatter that rejects any incorrectly styled code.

It’s the share that’s being traded. It doesn’t matter whether it represents reality. All that matters is that the guess about whether it appreciates or depreciates is correct.

In all likelihood an entirely new product will be a better fit in that case, anyway. Especially if whichever direction you do pick completely precludes what you decide not to do. In practice (and with some experience) most decisions do not

50 years from now, translation technology has made speaking foreign languages obsolete. (Except for your own benefit.)

That would be why you also unionize the nurses. (And also not subject basic rights like healthcare to market forces, but that’s a bridge a little farther.)

Isn’t there then just the option of traditional split-risk insurance?

Ship lighting is standardised and very specific (you can always tell which way a ship is facing by the lights for example). I’m not an expert in visual science, but I suspect it is easier to tell _multiple_ ships apart when they have fewer
