Sometimes, Google needs a gentle nudge from users saying "we don't like this" and hope they reconsider (I doubt it).
Expecting XP or say Windows 98 to still work on modern day standards is just laughable.
Upgrade, or get left behind. The concept of 'never updating' isn't one that is practical and you'll pay the penalty for it later on.
Noscript can collect the information as to the most common settings for each website (say youtube) and apply them automatically.
Would save the whole "temp allow" -> "refresh" whack a mole game :)
It really is simple to figure out, if you can't, maybe you need an easier plugin that just toggles JS in general.
And BBC's own shows, like Planet Earth 2 are already on Netflix, so why would you even still need a license fee at that point?
It made sense 20 years ago when there were only 5 or so channels, now there is so much content available so quickly (even if it's not "legal") that people are realizing it's a waste of money.
Which is true.
I refuse to use 'fast charging' since I believe it will reduce the life span of the battery (which I guess is what they want so you buy a new phone).
If it can be proven batteries can charge much faster AND have an acceptable life span, that's okay. But I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.
I'm really hoping it works out, and Cloudflare can continue to contribute their expertise working with WG. At the end of the day, this benefits everyone since OpenVPN whilst it's reliable in my experience, is just too burdensome.
I also am intrigued by the price, and features that will differ between free/pro. I suspect many VPN services over the next few years will feel the effects of this (is that why they're all rushing to add 3 year plans?)
Guess what, genius? If you want all those things, install plugins. Or fork the browser yourself, the code's all there.
Make no mistake, certain content is worth archiving, but imagine if we'd been archiving everything since our species first days.
Now we have the capability, we're obsessed that we must archive everything; how useful are the older IMDB comments really?
I dread to think how much storage is 'wasted' in these archives storing useless content, and how useful it really is to people in reality.
There are archives of every reddit comment ever made, but there are many hundreds of thousands of spam or useless comments....
I don't think the Internet needs an immutable record of every piece of content or every hyper link to preserved for the rest of time, we need to discern what's really important and throw away the rest, if not to make it easier to parse (but, since that's difficult, we just grab it all which whilst great presents its own issues in terms of required resources).
If the person has the key, they can decrypt it.
Microsoft/Sony are NOT going to sit back and let Google win here. Expect replies from them (especially with Microsoft's Azure).
The streaming services of gaming is coming.
Everything you see about privacy is an illusion, designed to do the bare minimum to make people think Google respects your privacy. But there's a reason Facebook likes Android simply due to how much information it gives developers with or without permission. You can hope the user allows that location permission (accidentally just once is all it takes).
Without actually detailing what information they want, why they want it, how they'll use it and how it'll be stored and processed and deleted (LOL) then no, privacy has not increased.
And this isn't exclusive to Android, but operating systems and 'apps' as a whole.

If you make a new technology and an entity bigger than you comes along and makes profit, gives you no credit and contributes nothing in return, you are not going to be "glad to help", you're going to want something in return.
These companies do not contribute so they're required to adopt the new rules as a consequence. It's not fair Amazon profits off work others do entirely for free. They should be required by law to contribute a % of profits to the open source community, based on software they've used. Similar to artists being paid a % of streams of their music.
You use that NPM package? They have a donate button? You should be required to donate if you're a giant like Amazon/Microsoft/Google etc.
It can't detect context, however.
>The reason why they find licensed music in videos is because
It's technically easier to do so. ML is still new, and it still makes mistakes, this is why people complain about content ID because it takes down videos that are "fair use".
Explain to me, Mr Expert, how a ML algorithm can understand the nuance of the law, interpret it flawlessly like a human would (say, in a court of law).
Unless you're saying these cases no longer require humans, courts and judges, and ML is at a point where it's _flawless_ and accurate 100% of the time.
It's a shame you're so technically weak minded, I thought the Hackernews community would be educated in this regard.
Please go read about how ML works before making such comments in the future, they make you look really stupid.
Which is it? If you think you can have a 100% success rate you are horribly, stupidly mistaken. You WILL get innocents caught in the crossfire, you WILL see videos removed that are okay, and people WILL cry censorship.
People are demanding a flawless system, that never makes mistakes, that has 100% accuracy to be developed and released in the next week, and yet, we need a "free and open internet" otherwise Reddit gets angry and puts up hundreds of "net neutrality" posts.
Oh, what's that, Article 13 wants upload filters? BOO!! Yet they may catch this type of content.
Nobody likes that idea because it'd "ruin" the internet.
Which is it. This problem can ONLY be fixed with upload filters, potential censorship and mistakes which will affect a number of legit videos.
That okay with you? People seem pretty mad at youtube for their content ID and DMCA, just check r/videos.
This would increase 10 fold with any further automated system designed to attempt to filter certain categories of content.
People will have channels deleted and potentially their Youtube 'careers' ended by a machine. But r/videos hates this.

Imagine TLS 1.4, or some other change that will occur that will completely break IE11.
Instead, Microsoft will ship Edge with Chromium (even on Windows 7) and say "use that instead" and will eventually remove IE altogether.
One less dependency, network request and more efficient code is always worth the effort.
Oh, and since the new code is vanilla and written in ES6 (it was already but transpiled) you can use modules/tree shaking, even better for performance.
Why include a dependency that the browser provides for free? jQuery was good before ES6/next came along, these days it's extra cruft.
And if what you're saying is true about weird corner cases, people will fix that up in PR's anyway, that's not a reason to stop innovating and just say "meh, jQuery is good enough".
Thank god most software doesn't work your way, we'd probably be stuck in the stone ages still.
Bootstrap is a _framework_, not just a layout system.
Also, BS uses Flexbox at the moment, I doubt they'll go to grid any time soon.
Seems to be a sensible approach to me. It's like using native code rather than electron, even if you add more lines, I'm pretty sure the performance gains would be worth while.
Good riddance.
