The larger the codebase, the greater the need for stronger typing.

When dealing with JS this typing should be in the head of the developer. Too hard and too unreliable.

Typescript seems to be having it's heart in the right place though.

I can think of one taboo opinion - supporting prop 8. Results - being fired. Also it was made effective with back date. The firing of Brendan Eich was as chilling effect as possible.

In the current climate you could get a pitchfork mob after you extremely easy for even stuff perceived as homophobic - as the recent suicide of August Ames showed.

All of those are controlled by a single company. A single point of failure. Untill there is good enough protocol anyone can run a server of and it is - pgp stays the least worst option.

All of those messingers are terrible - in email you cannhave multiple conversations with the same person by design. In thoae you can't. There is no messinger with decent history search.

Different culture. People like, use, and depend on subways so they like the extensions and expect their governments to get shit done. And in Europe the power of a single individual to block major project is limited.

I think I can explain the subway costs - the construction itself is relatively cheap - tunneling and excavating is something mine companies do regularly on a bigger scale.

It is the NIMBY, regulations and not breaking anything. Unlike China you cannot rule by decree - there be subway here - dig.

240 is also on the low side. I would prefer 480 to keep the amps on the low side. Buuut that is what happens when nobody future proofs fundamental standards.

The reapolitik is the only valid view in international relations (outside of one pole empire, but it is impossible on the current scale of the planet with current state). We live in realpolitik world currently - case in point Saudi Arabia on the human rights council. This is possible only in realpolitik world. In any other type of world relations it will be impossible.

Also - any US leaning dictator getting a pass. Like Saddam, Noriega, Pinochett. Which met their demise after refusing to obey their CIA overlords.

For Iran - if Iran us enemy - which the current administration thinks so, giving their citizens education is bad unless you ban them from exiting US after getting said education. And prevent them from taking the know how there.

If Iranian people had the means to overthrow the theocracy they would have already done it.

In the world of realpolitik humanitarian is not a valid reason.

Educating the citizens of a country that you may have to go war with soon is also not a way to further your national interest - if we define US interest as unchallenged US might.

It all depends on the perspective in which you view the other countries.

Still it is not. Because when you leave out China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Algeria, Morocco, Pakistan, Germany, Turkey, UK, France ... which each have a lot of Muslims there whether in relative or absolute terms.

The ban is only for arabs in very unstable countries and Iran. There is no good reason to allow entry of people from countries that are at (civil) war and Iran is adversary, so there is no reason for non diplomatic personal Iranians to enter US at all.

They way I see it there is no fundamental right of foreigners to enter US. It is a privilege given by the discretion of the executive branch.

Just tell me where in Chromium to disable resetting user profile when it detects tampering - so I am able to migrate a profile just by copying and I will move to Chromium in a second.

The not being able to copy your profile between machines is terrible terrible decision. It detects "tampering" and nukes everything :(

Is there info about social status. Because Trump should be on his deathbed now and Obama must be already very very sick.

And generally speaking successful politicians live long. Castro, Mugabe... And they did had a lot of adversaries. And won against the odds.

You only need 51 votes. If Democrats really cared they could have just sit in the senate until the republican speakers collapsed. And it would have gotten to a vote.

It may have taken a couple of days but whatever.

Edit: Can anyone explain the downvotes please? A filibuster can be overcome by just siting and listening to the other side until they can no longer speak from exhaustion.

My expensive cpu lesaon. The person that designed lga 2011 had the brilliant idea to make notches on the cpu almost symmetrical. So it is possible with juuuust a tiny bit of force to put it the opposite way.

No it is a backdoor. Becuase the app fucks you on purpose, even if you go to great lenghts to verify the keys.

Also the vulnerabilty matches perfectly one scenario - when a person is in custody, the LEO cannot open its phone, but they can create account on new device with his sim card and continue "trusted" chats.

For a lot of stuff there is some form of client privilege.

In that case it is nit officer look in my trunk It is a mechanic that needs to pull up a spare tire from it and is on a payroll by the officer.

Mandatory reporters are stupid idea. I doubt it can help a lot. I also think that the false positives will be disturbingly high if people take the job seriously.
