    True but also catching up to an existing tech is a much different game than creating it from scratch. Hiring people who have the right knowledge can speed that up.

    Heads up: I left a Peerweb link open overnight (~8 hours) hoping it would load. It consumed ~15GB of memory and triggered an OOM kill, crashing the browser. Browser: LibreWolf (lat…

    I also had success, less negotiating, more just helping me form the letters in a few minutes rather than hours so I could get reimbursed for denied coverage, and it did get reimbur…

    Devil's advocate would say: They could do this and make it look like a bug that never gets fixed in order to avoid backlash. How it gets achieved is flexible if the goal is met.

    81 is still too high. Should make it a max of 60.

    It seems the article forgot to mention that Microsoft is actively pursuing nuclear energy in response, which is a significant omission.

    "Discovery" fits since we're just uncovering what's already there, not creating it. "Invention" is for stuff we actually make. Unsure if just a mistake or creationist perspective i…

    What I don't understand is, why can't we just have a browser that doesn't give any of those details that is used to determine unique a browser. It doesn't make sense to allow a web…

    They may be bragging about that, but they still make people use Liquid and tell their customers that features were released when they're in beta for another 3-6 months.
