Microsoft used to offer VMs of every Windows version that was in active support under the banner of IE compatibility testing. Only difference with this new offering is that they preload this image with whole dev environment instead of just a system.
Stable and universal webassembly would be already enough to do it. You can just write app in whatever language you want and cross compile it. There are already quite big apps on the web that are created this way (ported to js from mobile by cross compiling).
Somehow I doubt the math works out anyway. For simplicity lets assume there are 200 working days in a year. If you take a single break every day for 15 minutes, you have spent 50h on those breaks, which would make it over a week of work time. Multiple breaks will increase this even further. Somehow I doubt the company will offer that much vacation time to non smokers.
They can be more affected due to some specific name or last name distribution among population. For example over 39% of Vietnamese have last name Nguyen which greatly increases chance of collision. In comparison even the most popular "white" last names in US (e.g. Smith) don't reach 1% of population.

Bugs happen. What has me worried is a month long waiting time between security fix in public facing repository and release. This pretty much asks for exploitation even by not very skilled "hackers" as interested parties have lots of time to prepare viable exploit based on provided regression tests.
From the whitepaper: "Cookies/MAID. Every DSP allows targeting users based on cookies or mobile advertising ID (MAID). Either of these could be obtained by an ADINT attacker if the user ever clicks on their ad. They can also be obtained from sniffing network traffic. Finally, active ad content (see below) can be used to potentially acquire either identifier." Also Facebook allows targeting by email with minimum of 20 addresses. "(...) these minimums can be circumvented; we conducted a preliminary experiment and found uploading 19 entirely spurious email addresses (not even connected to fake Facebook accounts) allowed us to target ads at a test user"
from whitepaper (Mobile Advertising ID): -"sniff network traffic of target devices to obtain the MAID, which is often sent to ad-exchanges unencrypted" - "attacker can also obtain the MAID if the target clicks on any of the attacker’s earlier ads" - "exfiltrated via JavaScript in ads in some major ad-libraries"
I dropped Pale Moon recently after something like 2 years of use. The problem is stuff just stops working. Its often not even really browsers fault, but simply no website developers care about it at all. I have 2 sites that I visit semi regularly that straight blocked it (slack and my local electricity provider) and many sites have some minor (or even major if they use some more obscure functionalities) glitches. The straw that broke the camels back for me was user script that I needed and that simply refused to work on Pale Moon.
They don't really need to. They can just sell people junk that they would never buy if they saw it or thought about it calmly. I mean cheap plastic junk that solves the inconvenience that you will likely experience once in few years, but the salesperson will convince you is an extremely serious problem you need to fix. Or they can simply sell you useful stuff (eg tools) that is just pretty useless for you personally. Good salesperson can create needs you didnt even know were possible:)
I have been on work related travel in Africa and Europe the past couple of weeks and had just started my family vacation here this week. I have decided to return tomorrow as clearly there’s a lot more to discuss as a group — including how we create a more inclusive environment for all.
And now we know why he was fired: due to his rant the CEO had to cut short his holidays. This is definitely a firing offense.
If the Germans wouldnt attack, the Russians would a bit later. They joined attack on Poland to get back some territory they considered theirs (remember that they only lost it 20 years earlier). Notice that they didnt join the rest of the war as there was nothing interesting for them there - they just reverted to neutral status. They would just wait for German exhaustion and attack then to gain even more territory. Obviously this plan didnt work.
The mongol invasion of Europe happened in 13th century, so well before Russia even formed (there were only lots of small Russian states). The argument here is that if not for Russia forming we would have more invasions from the asian nomad hordes. Before unification small states in that area had serious problems with stopping the horde especially with Muscovite-Novgorod rivalry. While somewhat true, the hordes were never a long term problem as they usually fell apart after some brilliant leader died and pretenders started fighting among themselves.It would likely only lead to eastern Europe becoming poorer economically and some other country taking this "defender" role (Pol-Lit Commonwealth? one of the german principalities?)
When I leave deezer in an open chrome tab running for more then a day or two (regardless if its playing or not) it turns into a huge memory hog and slows my system down by causing swapping. If I remember I just switch to this virtual desktop at the start of the day and restart the tab, but its still annoying.
That's ridiculous. Millions of coders worldwide are legally allowed to continue where Mozilla leaves off.
Yeah, some try to do so. For example browser I'm currently using Pale Moon was forked from Firefox after their unfortunate interface decisions. There is one big problem tough: they dont have market share so they are at best ignored by devs, sometimes misclassified (as mobile browsers) and at worst just outright blocked (eg slack or new site of my electricity provider)
Only if they are not citizens. Every country has to take back their citizens. Of course what they do with them after taking them in is another matter, so depending on the country and circumstances they may be for example imprisoned:)
Any employee of this local subsidiary can simply refuse to comply with the order (I expect every single country has a law that allows employee to refuse employer order to break the law). If we are talking about European countries then it would also be impossible to fire him for this, as such firing would be deemed as reprisal by (local) court. Given that the company (local subsidiary) is not even really interested in firing him, it would even likely lead to employee keeping the job (reinstatement).
costs considerably more to buy the digital movie than buy the physical version and in some cases more to rent the digital version than to buy the physical version. In what world does this make sense?
In a world where physical version has already became liability.
I dont watch movies, but when I buy computer games I want them to be on steam. I actively AVOID buying the physical copies as I find them inconvenient. I do have some of them for old games, but honestly I should just throw them away as I haven't even touched them for the last 6 years (since I moved into my current place). I have even bought some of those games again on steam or gog so that I can actually play them in convenient way.
For movies there is likely also the time factor: I want to watch it on Saturday afternoon with my GF and not on Monday when the delivery will happen. If you plan for this you can save money, but last minute decision costs you extra.
No employer really likes whistleblowers. In every company there are corners that are being cut avoiding some requirements from governmental regulations or "standards". Usually this stuff is not really important (like some documentation/procedure stuff), but if revealed it can still hurt the company by being breach of some contract or incurring penalties. If you employ someone that was a whistleblower in the past you have to give yourself an extra question: if he feels discontent with us for whatever reason (eg to small raise) will he just complain/quit like average person or will he start trying to actively harm the company or perhaps even blackmailing it? Was he a moral guy in immoral company or perhaps he didnt really care and it was just his way of getting a revenge for some perceived slight?
In Europe interchange is more like 0,2 - 0,3% per transaction, which means 2-3 EUR per every thousand EUR spent - acceptable for all but the poorest. China has limits on interchange at 0,35 - 0,45%. Its only the US that commonly has fees about 5-10 times higher...
This sort of depends. If you have a decent product that sells, doing this would be suicidal. But if your product has barely any customers and its because people are not aware of its existence? This kind of media attention can actually greatly enlarge your market niche and even though you scare some potential customers away you will still have net profit in number of customers
In Poland in such case you would get disciplinary firing - it goes on an employment certificate which you are expected to show your next employer (you can avoid it, but it would be very suspicious). This is only true for standard work contracts. Other types of contracts are often used to limit costs and avoid regulations related to work contracts.
Regardless of employment type your former employer can also sue you for losses and lost income caused by your sudden departure
I remember reading statistical analysis about profitability of being bank robber (how much you can steal before being caught, how long will you spend in prison etc). The results gave a pretty bad outcome compared to just working even for low salary. Still if you consider you dont have to spend anything during your stay at prison it wasnt that bad. Also being actually a smart guy might move this profitability much higher as statistics obviously included everyone that tried it.
Its not about user checking the cert, but about UI. In both cases the chance for checking would be near 0, but now the UI has one useless button less for those remaining 99%
