Again, I love that Monday morning quarterbacking. Crazed gunman? Come back later. Crazed gunman with a kid? Come back later. Crazed fugitive gunman with a warrant out, with a kid, …

What kind of moving goalpost is that? Chrome 1.0 came with Incognito built-in. Safari had it for three years. Because there may have been a plugin for Firefox a few months before C…

Ok, you got me. What I said was nonsense, taken literally, I was being lazy; you're right, Chrome's heavily multithreaded too. But, there is process-level separation both between t…

This was a hostage situation. Was the 5 year old boy, not a hostage to his crazed, gun-wielding mother in this standoff? I love Monday morning quarterbacks.

Roll your own android? What a stupid statement. How about airgap every website you visit by buying a new computer? I hope there's an invisible ;) in there somewhere.

Yep, Webkit dates to 1998, and Firefox (2002) was such a radical departure from Mozilla suite it's more than a little ridiculous in 2016 to handwave Chrome (2008)'s advantages as "…

It's been my experience over the past couple of years dealing with ugly web-apps that abuse JS, have huge DOMs, thousands of tiny images etc., that such abominations (hacks) will r…

I see your point, but they don't leapfrog Chrome in privacy when the browser is pwned and leaks its entire process state to an attacker. Any browser is a massive, rich attack surfa…

I subscribe to Ting and I'm happy with it. But, while very good, it's far from unique. I came in from another Sprint MVNO that was very good but slipping in value proposition. An M…

Love Canal is not a city, it's a neighborhood of Niagara Falls, roughly 16 acres of the worst of which is fenced. Since the toxins have been buried probably nothing would happen un…

You've given one example; SELinux. Did wheezy ship with SELinux enabled? No. So how is that a step backwards? It would have been a step backwards if they shipped with it enabled an…

Or Salt? All that and simple YAML flavor by default. I mean, nice work, but I don't see any holes in the ops space that this fills, and there's already a proliferation of tools sol…

You didn't look at the giant photo of Milk in his naval officer's uniform under the headline in the linked article? He served voluntarily under commission in the Korean War. You're…

Emacs unexec is mature (by decades), ported to 11 operating systems. CRIU is Linux-only, more or less experimental, and not included in mainstream stable distros. Does that answer …

Oh cut me a break. The glibc "community" consists of a cabal of developers who won't fix broken for good reason and break userland for bad reason all the time, admit no wrong, and …

Besides local iptables you can forward the port at the firewall level. Many people (myself included) have observed failed ssh logins going from many thousands daily to on average z…

Hydrogen is low energy density and next to impossible to contain or transport without lossage. These are major barriers to commercial adoption absent a breakthrough, laying aside t…

Ships must abide by flag country laws in international waters. There are treaties that cover most states. Compliance is an issue now though to say the least.

Solar aircraft at this stage (large, slow) have to stay in the sun, are sensitive to wind, and require periodic maintenance. In principle what you describe is basically the goal; a…

49 comments and no one points out that this is in no way a terminal emulator? It's a (rather rudimentary) shell.

Well, Gillette has their own product that they have spent billions on R&D and manufacturing. DSC is not even white label, there's not the slightest alteration to the Dorco product.…

Transhumanist drivel. I can imagine Peter Thiel masturbating to this on his seastead.

I hate to break it to you, but it is entirely fiction. There is no Lake Wobegone. St. Paul is not a little town either. Sorry to further shatter your suspension of disbelief.
