Which sites does this break? I have this setting enabled on all my browsers and haven't found any that fail. Once in a while I have to switch to a MS browser from my FF full of protective extensions, but that it pretty rare.
What about at the end where the ship descends from above the atmosphere and drops her off at the *bottom* of the long staircase, which she then has to climb? As you say, any sort of logic or quality writing are sacrificed because he wanted the shots of her dramatically climbing the staircase and finding Luke at the top. Since he obviously knew she was coming why didn't he just meet her at the bottom?
Except the Sixth Sense maybe. But you are right. The writing is awful and simply revolves around setting up various special effects shots. The Star Trek films he was involved with were the same way, just awful.
Equifax isn't a financial company, they are a data aggregator. And their customer's data was not affected, it was possibly (still unconfirmed) the people on whom data had been collected. You and I are not Equifax customers (except for some side chiseling on various monitoring services) the lenders et al which use Equifax data are their customers.
Defense in depth is an applicable concept here. A single point is going to have weaknesses. While a Struts vulnerability may have been involved, there is a whole iceberg of failures below that on the Equifax side for the breach to reach this scale. It is hard to say what level of failure though without any details. "May have been impacted" is not the same as 100 million people victimized by identity theft.
Maybe if the updates didn't have a high cost in breaking things and pointless interface and API changes they would be more interested. Unfortunately, keeping a wide array of software tools up to date isn't as simple as "giving a shit"
I have often said, all the accumulated crap is more of a threat to humanity than climate change. I started thinking about it reading about the effects of salt buildup in waterways due to winter road treatment
True there is no point in giving the audience future shock by imagining everything changed the way it probably would be, this would detract from the core story. Plus in less than two hours you don't have the time for a lot of exposition about all the ways society has changed due to new technologies. On the other hand, I often say shows like "Star Trek" are not really science fiction because they persistently ignore the way technology and society might shape each other. The show is just modern Americans with better gadgets. And an inexplicable reverence for farming. TNG had an episode where they "beamed" themselves back into kids, with their adult minds still intact! Astounding, yet nothing ever came of it. To me, science fiction is fiction that explores the implications of technology and human society. ST et al are just fantasy.
Exactly, now your car can crap out and you'll have no idea. If it craps out while leaving the dealer's lot after an update at least you have a pretty good idea what happened. We've seen so many times reliable software with few to no bugs is beyond human ability. Why would you allow on the fly updates to something as critical as your car? Oh yeah, because the same rule means they will screw it up in the first place. Nuts.
All Facebook suggested is that there was a connection. it didn't say "here's one of your distant relatives". As other replies point out, there are a billion ways a connection might be drawn. That was it. If FB had suggested a family relationship it might be a bit more mysterious.
There were a couple presentations at Defcon around this very topic. I took from it there is good news and bad news. The bad news is the answer is probably not. You can certainly reduce the tracking considerably with all the countermeasures mentioned here. But there is always going to be some leakage, especially once the primary domains start hosting the trackers themselves then sharing the data on the backend. I think that is inevitable as ad/script blockers become more and more prevalent. The good news is that the blockers are effective enough for now that a lot of snoops are turning to 'anonymized usage data' from various browser extensions to get around them. Maybe not such good news if you have one of those extensions installed. e.g. Web of Trust
The flip side is that anyone who is interested in analyzing a subject unpopular with a certain group of contributors (outside the project) is kicked out will also drive away potential contributors. "need to be careful to make all contributors feel welcome" applies to everyone doesn't it? Of course, it is impossible to make EVERYONE feel welcome. At question is how far do we push the 'not welcome' line.
It will be much like the ban on "machine guns" a century or so ago. The Great Powers will all agree that it only OK to use them against "terrorists" (or "savages" as the excuse was phrased back then) until there is an actual real war and the ban will go out the window
Of course, chimps are not 100% vegan, as they will eat meat when they can catch it. Which is rare (no pun intended). And of course termites and skin parasites picked off other troop members.
The AC's link addresses your questions. I can't speak to the accuracy of the claims there, but your questions are answered. e.g. many species such as chimpanzees which are almost completely vegan still have huge canines. Also claims we do not have an omnivore's gut, based on PH, intestine length, enzyme distribution. Interesting to take a look at, at least.

There's no reason a site could not outsource ad management the same way they do now.

If your house is surrounded by towers and you get no signal, isn't the problem with your house?
I'm not convinced 'spoiled' is the correct adjective, none of the leaked features were anything to get excited about.

researchers have photographed 74 palimpsests, which boast 6,8000 pages between them
That's a lot.

Now we know why the "average time to detection" is 271 days or some such nonsense.

How are you supposed to get settings and other interface elements moved around for no reason?
Nowadays gratuitous interface changes count as a new feature.

I like to use the word "scam" instead which people already understand.

I know a handful of vegans who would. But No True Vegan would for sure
