    I got exactly the same impression. They announced things like improved low light performance (but same aperture).

    Create - from the EU - yes. As I said: you cannot add to existing that you already use extensively. And not create new from outside EU. That’s what makes it so shambolic. They clea…

    If you leave the country without setting up SMS you can’t ever use 2FA. They claim to support adding foreign numbers, support people being abroad, support adding new DigiD accounts…

    "Some of you might have concerns that chlorine gas will develop, but because chlorine is so reactive, and because the salt solution is dilute, it’s safe for this setup." Not sure i…

    Right. It may also be possible that there is some hope of this action restoring normality. i.e. as a result of this protest, the Core Team become more accountable. At that point, I…

    The article states that it's unmanned and emphasises intelligence capabilities. I thought SR-71 had some strike capabilities, but I could be mistaken.

    Yes, of course, but you then appeared to query the "unfounded" nature of the claims. I thought you had missed the part where they turned out to be indeed unfounded.

    "These claims were investigated by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control, which found no connection between the vaccine and the autoimmune complaints."

    Would you not just have more subtle, harder to debug problems if it were not for versioned symbols?

    People started to get a clue about this 5-10 years ago though. It used to be much worse. I recall having to deal with it daily and I don't think about it much any more - more like …

    No, I'd expect it to mean free refills for me for the duration of my meal, like most people would. My point is, there is quite an involved pricing model - 5 tiers, each tier has mu…

    I don't get how the front page could be so clearly misleading and not expect to get found out. It's all about nothing hidden and "that's all you pay" until you click pricing and th…

    A bit light on the technical details that matter (i.e. the actual metrics added, how they went from data to conclusions, exactly why Honeycomb helped), this reads a bit like an adv…

    I don't think my estimate of the cost of FTP maintenance would be as high as yours. Why do you think FTP would still be such a cost at this stage?

    Does Chrome have better site isolation?

    How did you know to go to those lectures? Reputation or trying the first few lectures? Just the start of the course feels like it might not give a good enough sample.

    In principle, yes. In practice my experience is that neither macOS nor iOS is very automatic. All it takes on macOS is for another user to be logged in, or for you not to leave you…

    I'm not sure about "completely false". The article is mostly about the history of the stereotype, and ends with a couple of examples of things that were not as efficient as they co…

    As I said above, it seems fairly clear if you go to the original article that there is a real problem with the existing systems adapting poorly to different setups - they are train…

    Both that and "people refuse to use technology that makes them redundant" indeed seem to be hinted at. However, one of the quotes says that poor performance is the reason and if yo…

    Look, I don't know anything about this medication. But the grandparent responded to a pure anecdote, including the claim that it is "a poison". It seems an entirely appropriate res…

    The parent is not being flippant - don't be so dismissive. The dose makes the poison. All medications have long lists of side-effects. Most will have a small minority of users who …
