I thought the argument was that rockets spend a lot of fuel just getting through the thick low part of the atmosphere, which is the same point at which they're heaviest. Skip the start & you need less fuel.

I can hold it in one hand or set it on a surface and read while eating, brushing my teeth, holding onto a train etc.

I still love paper books but these situations always make me miss my kindle.

The problem is that if a collision happens it produces a lot of debris on unpredictable orbits. This process can run away and lead to orbital denial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

I suspect you're much more likely to give yourself cancer than cause an I am Legend-style mutation.

Or give them the benefit of the doubt and email them.

I'm curious: what distro do you use? There are definitely distributions that don't require much maintenance load.

This might fall under the GDPR, at which point they'd get between 2 and 4% of their annual turnover in fines.

I think that's here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/6/88

Needs a [2016] and perhaps a URL rewrite to the non-amp: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/12/think-organic-fo...

Interesting, it's in the HSTS preload list, so you have to use https as a .app domain!

That's exactly the problem: Facebook holds a special position on that ISP. Imagine a new social network trying to compete. If users can access Facebook when they can't access the new social network it's yet another reason to avoid switching.

I really wish there were a third phone OS: I don't want to buy iOS devices because the hardware is only manufactured by Apple and on Android you can't get away from Google.

There's the new Purism phone but it probably won't be able to run WhatsApp.

I don't think they purge the archives, I think they just don't serve them on the wayback machine.

I'd really like one of these but I don't foresee it being able to run Whatsapp, which all my friends and family use.

It won't, but it'll still help with the low-hanging fruit of just giving you a cookie.

That is mostly the case. However, other websites may ask your browser to make requests to Facebook domains (to load in social buttons or tracking scripts/pixels). Those requests will include any cookies your browser has for Facebook as they're direct to Facebook domains.

This extension gives Firefox selective amnesia: if you're in a Facebook container tab, it'll remember and send those cookies. If you're not, it won't!

An alternative solution is to never make those third party requests in the first place, but you might need some of them for content you're actually interested in viewing. Using both a blocking extension and this container extension should improve your privacy towards Facebook.

Privacy Badger is attempting to prevent Facebook from tracking you by blocking URLs known to load tracking code or pixel trackers etc.

This extension isolates your Facebook login cookies while you're browsing on non-Facebook websites, hence making it harder for those tracking techniques to identify you.

Why the laugh? The State caused him injury. Would it be better to leave the injustice alone? Just say sorry? If this were a civil case he'd certainly be awarded monetary damages.

Sorry, I meant justification as in the typesetting sense:

This is something TeX is _very_ good at. Word, less so.

Just FYI: you can edit your original comment, which is likely the better method in the future.

There's also the awful justification throughout.

I think the parent may have been referring to the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet shot down over Ukraine with a Russian anti-air missile system.

What news are you looking for? I'm fairly sure extensions targeting the older APIs will not be supported in any future release.

I could be wrong but clicking through that website I got the impression the $300 house was a specification they haven't got a design for.

So this could be revolutionary in that it exists.

This points out a possibility I never thought of: archiving your children's play! I suppose we already keep art that our children produce but something so complexly imagined & constructed over hours was previously fairly ephemeral.

I recently had the pleasure of reviving a game world my brother & I had built three years ago. Wandering around that was a nice trip through nostalgia. These kids will be able to do that for their ten year old selves, all the way up.

The more coins you lock into an investing wallet, the more likely the network is to choose you to mint a block.

In practice it's quite a bit more complex but that's the basic idea.

One thing I've failed to find out about IPFS: who pays for hosting? The user? Or is it donated by some peers?

Which features of VSCode in particular do you like?

Insertion/generation don't prompt you for your password.

Unfortunately techniques like browser fingerprinting[0] still work in private browsing and can be used to link your private browsing to your normal browsing.
