Got it. You're technically correct (although you said "illegals" when you meant "immigrants"). Trump got the second most number of votes in the election and like 1/2 or 1/3 as many people wanted the status quo.
If all you do is read/. and reddit, then you don't. You see however I thought you were discussing things in general
It also works for YouTube, Twitch, YouPorn, etc. I mean, the dynamic links to the next video changing wouldn't, but the rest of it would. That's kinda my point, 95% of the web would work well. GMail does. The only thing that really messes up are sites like Trello and GoogleDocs. And those are small and should be native apps anyway
Worked just fine with JS off. I mean, it geo-located the IP (which is unavoidable to some degree of precision.) And, frankly, that's probably more accurate than my self-reported time zone.
So if you are drawing graphics on a canvas you don't need to know the canvas size?
I have yet to see any real use for drawing on the canvas. like, any major site that uses it for anything.
It's really hard to allow code to use a value but somehow prevent that value from being passed as data somewhere else.
Incredibly true. But it seems like solving that problem would be extremely valuable.
So a browser say wouldn't need to know the screen size?
A browser needs to know it to render properly. A website serving it certainly doesn't. And I have no idea why it would.
. A web app wouldn't need to know my timezone?
Why would it? And why would a website? Why would Slashdot? Or (choose a news site)? Or Reddit?
My browser's time (clock skew is an identifying attribute)?
Certainly not. Unlike timezone where a webapp might need to know it, knowing time isn't something that should be communicated client-to-server ever.
My host OS (you know, for suggesting the right download package for things)?
This is the only time you actually suggested a use case for the data you're collecting. That said, why does it need to get reported back to the server. The whole point you're making is that the site can display it on its own. So, again, it wouldn't be usable for fingerprinting if it stayed clientside
Again, NOT an exhaustive list. I can keep going.
Instead of just listing features, you should explain what benefit I get out of letting that data leak out of my browser. Cause I don't see it.
So you want to go back to the web of 1992.
Whoa. First, I would think 2002 would be far enough back. Second, the cool stuff that happened since then are things like embedded video/audio. Or CSS advances. I'm not sure what cool stuff's been enabled by new tech since then, rather than faster pipes and the smartphone form-factor.
Pretty much every Republican commentator says "we can get along without this". But, it's not a matter of balls. It's just a stupid assertion. You never point to a specific single thing you think is a mistake. You say "the sky hasn't fallen yet, so none of it must have been important." But there's no evidence you actually know the state of things.
I mean, if your plane's engines fail (as a passenger), you're going to still have a good amount of time before you'll even notice the issue, let alone crash.
Pai pulling out is valid. Of the 800,000 people not getting paid (huge swaths of the government already got funded and are open normally), 420,000 are doing essential work. They are not allowed to do unessential work (e.g. speak) even if they want to do it for free. Like, Pai wouldn't get in trouble for doing it, but according to regulations he should. And someone lower on the totem pole would.
The House just passed the same budget bill that the Senate passed 3 weeks ago. The Senate isn't reauthorizing it because Trump said he no longer likes it because Hannity told him he didn't.
I don't know why you say "lately". Reagan, Gingrich and Bush Jr. weren't fiscally responsible either.
I will say that H.W. was the most fiscally responsible leader we've had in Washington in 100 years, even sacrificing his approval ratings (and second term) to put the budget in order.
And more than those 60ish million people voted for a specific not-Trump. To say nothing of the 240ish million who, via not voting, supported the rough status quo.
Fun fact, 800,000 direct government employees. Far more than that in the private sector. For instance, cafeteria workers close to government offices have had their shifts just cancelled. And unlike government employees, they won't get backpay.
1) The government may pay back bills when they get funded, but they most certainly will not reimburse even exempt employees for non-green lit expenses. And the employees who green-light are probably furloughed. 2) Odds are they're not even allowed to show up. I went to an event in the last shut down with heavy involvement by government employees. They weren't allowed to come into the offsite event while furloughed under threats of pretty bad punishments. Literally, they could go pretty much anywhere but their office or the event.
You mean that SS personnel might keep a watch? Sure. But it's manned by National Park Rangers. To keep it open to visitors.
And no, we should just shut the fucker down. I'd rather not waste cash on what is essentially a private attraction for Trump's hotel. Better uses for the money include, well, even Zinkie's sound proof phone booth is a better use of cash. At least that has some residual value.
I was giving an exhaustive list. Web sites should get "desired language" and "ip address". None of the others are needed. Local storage, fuck off. Try to set a cookie, you'll know if I let you because it'll get reported back when I return.
I think SPAs are pretty stupid in general. And you said we had to choose between security/privacy or webapps. I vote for security/privacy thanks.
As you point out, there's no need for my browser to report back version, plugins, settings, or pretty much anything else. "Desired language" and "IP address" seem to be the only vital ones.
It may be contradictory to a world where we want web apps to have the same power as native apps, except a) I have no desire to run a random native app by some asshole on the internet by default - the same power would be opt-in only and b) I want the browser to show me pages by default. A single-page webapp is a special case, and should be treated that way. Not a default.
I'm not sure why that's a response to me, but at a high level "emergencies" are not an exception to Constitutional spending limits (although a severe enough emergency, e.g. WWIII-starting nuclear assault decapitating Congress, may cause unconstitutional spending that we'll deal with afterwards.) The trick there is that Congress has already allocated money to deal with emergencies. It's related to the idea of "the military has been allocated money, I'll just use the military to build the wall."
But shouldn't a business be able to make that decision for itself?
No. That's too much pressure to comply with China for the huge market. If everyone cannot comply unless they respect IP, then everyone outside China wins. Similar to the concept of a union preventing "voluntary unpaid overtime."
Tesla doesn't have any intellectual property. They gave open access to their patents to any competitor. It's the primary reason I think investing in Tesla is a bad idea. Well, that and the strange interactions between Musk's businesses (bailing out SolarCity, etc.)
Those tolls are not allowed to be used for trash maintenance or other maintenance. They are dedicated to infrastructure improvements and long term goals.
You said that "Obama's investment bank pal" made money because he bet on GM to default on their bondholders and "lose". How does bailing GM out make that more likely??
So, according to you, Obama (a) used lots of money to bailout GM illegally, because (b) his friend bet that GM would fold and be unable to pay off bondholders. I have no idea how bailing out GM makes it more likely that the bondholders would lose.
Since the National Park service changed their policies since 2013's shut down, they've been tracked pretty heavily throughout the news cycle. It's one of the bigger and more understandable parts of the shutdown facing the public, especially during the holidays.
They've covered the parks staying open, the lack of maintenance, volunteers cleaning Joshua Tree, Joshua Tree getting overwhelmed and shut down, Yellowstone's access roads closing (although not technically the park) because of snow, the deaths that have occurred in the various National Parks, etc.
The historic tower in the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC is a national landmark. It's under the control of the park service. There are still National Park Rangers there keeping the tower open. Total coincidence they found money to do that, based no doubt on a dispassionate assessment of needs.
Having one use pay for speed has never been the issue with NN. It's when both endpoints have to pay the middleman. That is, no one thinks it's strange I can buy gigabit internet access or just 3 megabit. That's what they're talking about. What NN is about is, even though I paid for gigabit, if Google doesn't pay I only stream Youtube at 3 megabit (but still get Netflix, which did pay, at gigabit).
This gets confused by terminology, is a dumb article, and should never have been posted on Slashdot. It either is a dumb person trying to sound smart, or a smart person trying to confuse dumb people.
FB, Google, etc. make enough cash to hire humans to be involved. They don't want to, as that might hurt their 800 billion valuations. But it seems reasonable to me that if you have a platform that can reach billions, you have to hire people to curate it.
Slashdot Mirror

Not all the roads in Yellowstone are plowed, but some are. Right now, none of the roads are.
It's a major difference.
No. That's too much pressure to comply with China for the huge market. If everyone cannot comply unless they respect IP, then everyone outside China wins. Similar to the concept of a union preventing "voluntary unpaid overtime."

Yes, but nothing is implying that the throttling is on both sides. It seems like it's the downloaders who are being throttled.
