It wasn't "because he was a conservative". It was because he was funding a campaign to limit peoples rights and and everyone / every website was running a campaign to tell users to get off Firefox if they want to stop funding this. It would have destroyed Mozilla if they did nothing.
Gemini throws out way way too much. Inline links and image support for one. It feels like someone wants to have everything exactly as it was in the 80s.
They claim to stop feature creep by not including any kind of optional data support like headers and the spec team will reject any feature additions.
While I would be happy to have HTML/CSS exactly as it is and replace JS with a minimal WASM implementation that lets the website bring whatever tools it wants rather than relying on 1 billion JS apis.
I think the iphone pro will still have a port and likely usb c. They are pushing it as a film making product now and no one wants to copy 50GB + of video over wifi when you could just plug it in.
Apple is stuck in this crappy half way situation where the MacBook and iPad are USB-C while the iphone and accessories are lightning. Clearly the iPad and Macbook will not switch to lightning so the only way to standardize is to move the rest to usb-c.
USB-C ports have a tongue in the device end which can be damaged. Seen some nintento switch repairs and most of the time its the usb c port thats broken. The iphone in comparison seems to have less going on in the port. It does have the port gripper bits inside the port but I have 7 year old devices that still grip the cable just fine.
The prices in Australia are based on forecasted demand. Since there is almost a 100% chance that the population of tomorrow will be greater than today, that means you can buy on higher prices than current demand. Unfortunately that means houses can be considered worth almost infinite dollars since the population will keep going up.
Not really because this is being proposed as a solution to solve people using fake photos on dating apps which means it has to work on every single consumer device to actually work.
So now we are essentially bricking the devices of real users? Without doing anything meaningful to real attackers who just grab the next key out of their list of 10 million stolen from insecure androids.
HN would have you believe the whole frontend scene is totally replaced every month. At our company we started using React about 3 years ago and React is still the industry standard today and likely will be 3 years in the future.
Cryptographic keys embedded in hardware worked really well for the DRM industry. Eventually someone will work out how to extract the key, then create malware to spread around android devices to send back millions of valid keys. What do you do then? Blacklist millions of real peoples cameras and prevent them from using the internet?
Its crazy how different languages on the same article can have completely different tones and give a different idea of the subject even when they fundamentally have the same facts listed.
Don't really agree with this. It like saying "why did you use a phone to do that math when a simple calculator or even pen and paper would work"
Sure it would work, but the phone also works and does way more. You might be able to use some trivial processing on duck hunt but it won't work on anything slightly more complex so why would you bother learning a method that only works on the most basic of games when you can develop something that can be applied everywhere.
This farm grows a huge amount of tomatoes in the desert. It has its own water desalination plant powered by solar. Unlike most of the stuff you see, this isn't PV solar generating electricity, but just a bunch of mirrors pointed at a single point to collect a huge amount of heat to generate fresh water.
Just look at the land in the photo on wikipedia and imagine how much food could be produced in this space.
