Not only that, if Slashdot had linked the original Firefox blog post instead of the insipid rehash from ZDNet with an auto-playing video, the GP would have seen that they are actually setting the Referrer-Policy to "strict-origin-when-cross-origin" which doesn't affect same-domain referrals unless they downgrade from HTTPS to HTTP.
Quite frankly, this should be the default already. I have it set that way on all my sites, and today I learned that you can set it client-side on Firefox.
Banks absolutely create money out thin air, but if you re-read GP, his complaint is with a bank 'loan[ing] more than it receives in deposits.'
When you deposit that 90 cents and make 81 cents more available to loan, I imagine GP is considering the 90 cents to be a deposit. (If not, and he doesn't understand fractional reserve banking, the following still holds true.)
$1 backing $1 + $.90 in the bank as deposits $1 + $.90 + $.81 "on paper" $.90 + $.81 as loans
$1 + $.90 (deposits) is still more than $.90 + $.81 (loans). This continues to work even if you turtle the loans all the way down to infinitesimal fractions of a cent.
... This is AFTER "making a couple of spelling corrections" (how many is a couple?) and AFTER "de-anagraming" every single word (i.e. arbitrary picking one of the thousands of permutations of letters in the word)....
When I was in high school I used a script to find dictionary anagrams of my name and my friends' name.
This is fun. Now I can make up codes everywhere:

Thanks for introducing me to their methodology. And you should bring those suede prints back. They'll be big.
What you are suggesting GGP means is how I thought they'd do this: Verizon-MT traffic is routed through Verizon-USA and traffic-shaped upstream. You are probably right that Montana would consider that a breach of contract and shut them down.
That is not actually what GGP is suggesting, though. S/He is saying that there is a Verizon-MT-Gov and a Verizon-USA. Verizon-MT-Gov only has the government contracts ("two customers") and does not violate NN. Verizon-USA sells to everyone else in Montana and continues to give them all the finger.
...also decided that I was female. I'm a 53 year old man with short hair and a goatee. It kind of makes you wonder what kind of faces they used to program in what a female face would look like...
Next question. Does a low IQ correlate with more crime or getting caught more often?
I'm sure you were being rhetorical, but here goes: That's not an answerable question. You can't, with any certainty, measure the crime rate among people you haven't identified as criminals ("caught" by another word).
Sure, you could ask everyone if they were a criminal, but you'd get false positives and false negatives from (among others) people who feel guilty about something legal, people who never feel guilty about anything, people who are actually insane, and people who feel they have something to gain by lying (or, more likely, something to lose by telling the truth).
A lot of my opponents have been going around spouting harebrained "pie-in-the-sky" tax schemes that promise "something for nothing." Well I say it's time for a "reality check." I favor a practical, fiscally sound, two-pronged "flat-tax" system, as follows:
Someone upthread mentioned Thailand where this was (is?) a serious problem. Traffic injury liability is capped if the victim dies, but not if they survive. There is a nonzero chance that a driver who strikes a pedestrian will intentionally back up over them to make sure they stay dead.
Maybe Tim Wu thinks that people in the 1600s trusted tulips more than their government. Let me try:
... The transformation is more obvious outside of finance. We trust in tulips to brighten our homes, help cycle carbon dioxide, and lift our spirits. In this respect, finance is actually behind: Where we no longer feel we can trust people, we let flora take over.
Disney isn't buying the network but it is buying the studio. So the OP about reducing the number of studios to three is correct, whether or not the studio-less Fox broadcast network survives.
As I understand it, Disney isn't buying the broadcast network. Now, Fox (the broadcaster) may well die off now that it doesn't have its own production studio, but that can't be directly inferred.
I realize you're hyperbolising, but this needs to be explicit: Politicians don't care that you can access "bad content." They merely want to make it sufficiently inconvenient such that most voters do not see it. You can repost your exposé all over the darknet, and your MP won't care. But the moment they worry you'll set it before a journalist or the man on the Clapham omnibus, you might want to find a solicitor.
So releasing the IP addresses would "raise significant privacy concerns," but requiring the name and home address for every comment and making it publicly available on the internet does not? Or are you just afraid that the IP addresses won't remotely match the postal addresses? And that they suspiciously originate from a data center somewhere in Northern Virginia?
Let's assume for a moment that a UBI will have a negligible effect on inflation. And let's assume Leviathan finds a way to pay for UBI. Let's hand-wave all those things into the premise.
A thing I've always been curious about is what happens when Sid Miller takes his (or his family's) monthly dole and blows it at Crazy Tim's Slot Emporium. What happens now? Does Sid starve? Are there still programmes to prevent him from starving? Are charities still around to prevent him from starving? What about his family? Has a crime been committed?
Came here to say this. There was even (at least) one for strategic nuclear weapons, developed by the USSR. Supposedly, it is still around but switched off. This makes the irony of "We have to build a weapons system in order to ban it" even more apparent.
Furthermore, any nation-state with a decent hacker cadre already has "Lethal Automated Weapons Systems." If a hack can kill someone, it's a lethal system. Any code monkey can take an existing hack and automate the trigger. All that is open to debate is whether it's a "weapon," and if a hack is designed to kill someone, I think that's self-evident.
The only thing worth discussing is exactly how much automation would be permitted.

For instance, for years now I use Meta+Left Click to grab my windows and move them (KDE).
Assuming that by "Meta" you meant Alt,...
When AC said "Meta," s/he/it probably meant "Meta," which is what KDE calls the Windows/Tux/Cmd key. Is that what you meant by the "Super" key?
Side note: "Super+drag" sounds like something my niece would say.
If that's all it takes, I'll tell Elon to start learning Clojure.
You sound depressed. Have you been using a smartphone lately?
So how's that shiny new citizenship looking, Mr. Assange?

This reminds me of the the Dave Barry tax plan:
A lot of my opponents have been going around spouting harebrained "pie-in-the-sky" tax schemes that promise "something for nothing." Well I say it's time for a "reality check." I favor a practical, fiscally sound, two-pronged "flat-tax" system, as follows:
PRONG ONE -- Everybody would pay less.
PRONG TWO -- You, personally, would pay nothing.
Someone upthread mentioned Thailand where this was (is?) a serious problem. Traffic injury liability is capped if the victim dies, but not if they survive. There is a nonzero chance that a driver who strikes a pedestrian will intentionally back up over them to make sure they stay dead.
He'll make a Humvee equivalent, with mounted laser to shoot down Elon haters.

A good point, thank you. My mistake.
As I understand it, Disney isn't buying the broadcast network. Now, Fox (the broadcaster) may well die off now that it doesn't have its own production studio, but that can't be directly inferred.
They could easily buy the right to DC as well if the price was right.
I thought Disney already had a controlling stake in DC: the Copyright Office, the trademark part of USPTO, and a couple hundred legislators.
