I think the main point here is that sideloaded add-ons cannot be removed through the add-on manager. Malicious software can still install add-ons silently and without explicit consent, but now the user can view and remove those much more easily.

The article says there are safety instructions from 2016 which dictate goods with recalled batteries should not be taken on flights, and customers who had the batteries replaced aren't restricted by this.

My understanding is that it's an ethical decision about not killing an animal (or some animals) or directly supporting the killing of an animal. Hunting would be in conflict with this decision. The consequences around an animal's killing are irrelevant here.

It's working fine now and doesn't seem to be duplicating badges. Thanks.

The badges for dschep are not displayed on HN's homepage while petethomas' are. They are displayed correctly on the comments page and dschep's profile.

Edit: The issue is intermittent and it seems to be about displaying badges after the first user on every page; the first user will have their badges displayed correctly while the rest mostly won't.

I think this would be fine as long as you have the users' consent. I suppose you could even give out rewards to players based on how much they contribute. I see this model in a lot of Android games nowadays (although with ads), you are asked to look at an ad/watch a 30 second video, and in return you get a small amount of in-game currency otherwise only obtainable through spending money.

Wikipedia (also apparently expressvpn.com) is already blocked in Turkey, and I am indeed very upset about it, but there's nothing I can do about it and I think it'd be the same with the Chinese. Such oppressive governments really won't mind denying their citizens access to the single greatest source of information for their citizens if it plays into their hand.

I'm sure you've already checked it carefully, but just in case, have you perhaps made a small typo? I'm asking because I think that would also explain the support not responding.

I'm curious about how taxi drivers are viewed in the US or this specific region. In Turkey, they're mostly hated, because they will go to any length to extort money out of the customers. This ranges from picking longer roads if they detect that the customer doesn't know the area well to asking for 500 euros to even pick them up after terrorist attacks. So, Uber was seen as the savior as their drivers wouldn't try to do any of this and were generally nicer in people's experience (it really doesn't take much to be nicer than a taxi driver here).

We do call Trump "America's Erdogan".

Mostly Ars Technica.

You could try unblocking Facebook domains if you're using Privacy Badger.

I don't know if the current users of iPhone will take this as a number of them are music producers (or enthusiasts) and their current very expensive hardware won't be compatible with the new iPhones.

120 frames per second is pretty fast but my first question would be that can it avoid, say, a bird flying towards it?

It seems like by "targeted ads" they mean ads relevant to the site, not the reader.

I would like some more details on the deployment and maintenance costs of this system. Maintenance costs play a huge role in long-term sustainability and if the initial costs are too high, many people in need of clean water might not get the system in the first place.

I think monitoring your outgoing traffic would give you a clue. Also if what I read on Ars is correct, this botnet preys on weak root passwords, so disabling remote root or using keys would be great ways to protect yourself against this botnet.

First thing that came to my mind when I read the headline: "Google has to go."

If this is as "ultra low power" as I think it is, I imagine it could be used by all kinds of implants, especially critical ones like pace makers, to extract information about their functionality.

What are the implications of this for SpaceX in monetary terms? Can they just shrug this failure off?
