You're very much not alone, this comes up frequently here at hn, because other sites also frustratingly block this behaviour often by popping up "tweet this" links after highlighting.

Did it actually raise 660m or was that the size of the "market cap" when it collapsed? if I sell 100 tokens for a dollar then convince someone to buy 1 token for 10 dollars, if I run off with the money I've not run off with $

The UK has had data protection laws for years, people aren't scared of GDPR because it finally provides laws, they're scared because they actually look enforceable.

I'm not familiar with firebase, but am I reading correctly that rules cascade but without specificity rules? How does cascading make sense at all if lower-down rules don't supersede higher rules?

I was trying out the javascript example, but managed to get a case where there is a negative conclusion but this goes against the introduction where it says negative conclusions are always definite. My multiset was: a, b, c, d, e, f, g

There's a "Same-Site" cookie flag that helps prevent CSRF by preventing cookies being sent in that scenario. Can the browser be made to treat all cookies as "same-site" for a quick 'fix' to this issue? Obv

That makes it sound like people are upset about an isolated incident, trying to play this off as an isolated incident is going to blow up very badly as people "discover" just how much of their data is everywhere, whether they gave

The Steam integration is nice if you have a couple of other people who also play these games because you get to compare your best with their best. Personally I managed to keep up with the global optimums early on in the shenzhen campaign bu

~10% to ~20% is closer to 100% gain than 10% gain. From 1 in 10 to 2 in 10 people is a doubling of people! This is why percentage is a bad measure when it can represent two things (percentage or percentage-points). I like log-odds as a scal
