This is one of the few free ways to get adblocking on safari on ios. It's great!

No joke, this would be the best thing for everyone. Especially if we find a way to do it ourselves rather than wait for a vendor to.

I've been thinking for years about writing a virus that patches the vulnerability it used to spread as it goes.

uh, teachers?

you're wrong, advertising targeting factors both these things.

I think you're missing the point of how current targeted advertising works. The person paying for the advertising is the one choosing when/where to show it to you. They are intentionally getting in your way with something irrelevant, since it suits their campaign goals.

What you describe is a system where the consumer has control over how they are advertised to, but that only works when you are the one with power in the situation. If you use a service for free, like a website, your eyeballs are the service being sold, and the advertiser is going to utilise that service in his interest. That includes putting ads you "don't like" in front of you, that actually do influence your chances of buying that product, on average, in an upward trend.

Swap baidu for google or microsoft in that sentence and it still has the same problems. Every government 3 letter agency has a vested interest in the secrets.

I'd love to see a jepsen test. Maybe the spanner team would be able to sponsor an independent test?

I have codes too, feel free to drop me a message for one :)

Yes, mobile apps are on the way, it mentions in the faq

That's genius, you can do the same for any Google service and double check your own response. :)

Thanks so much, I was digging into this a few weeks ago eagerly and didn't find anything. Glad it's here now!

Spinning a new db in continuous integration for integration tests.

what is it?

Don't worry too much, I always enjoy little gotcha's like this. It's like your brain has to think twice to understand the meaning, but in the end it does. It's really fun and colourful to read half modified phrases and that's how language evolves.

lol

I tried this out, and the benchmark page performance is pretty bad on servo without the new painter. great with the new painter.

Interestingly, the same benchmarks seem pretty fast on mac chrome for me, so I wonder if I'm missing something about how effective the new technique is?

but using that private key can still grant him access to someone's traffic to their machines. isn't revocation necessary to imply security in that domain ever again?

how did you eventually find out about the ban out of interest?

Can I suggest not browsing all

Thanks for clarifying. That boils down to linux perfectly hiding this problem from the user, while windows painfully makes the user restart every time a file is in-use and needs to be removed.

I particularly like this argument. It's so full of meaning.

Not sure if you're trolling? You say chrome breaks 5 times day, and then later in the same post say the Google ecosystem just works.

Seriously, what are you trying to say?

That 100% static site can be monitored. Which pages you visit on it and what that says about you.

Privacy is always valuable.

Any idea if this book would be a waste of time if the good parts sunk in easily?

Would anyone recommend this after already going through the good parts by Douglas Crockford?

oh wow, the demo setup 'just works' and is instant to install apps. this just keeps getting better and better.

The Pi makes a fantastic media center when combined with XBMC.
