This has already been a fixed issue for probably over a decade with addons for Firefox.
Fixed issue? What issue? If a page isn't there, it isn't there.
There's no issue. If a page can't be found, the browser should tell the user. If the user wants to install an add-on to avoid this for some reason, that's their choice, but it shouldn't be default behaviour.
Your Battery Status Is Being Used To Track You Online
Oh, do fuck off with the tiresome clickbait headlines. My battery status isn't being used to track me online, but even if it was, you could write the headline without having to personally address it to me.
2. Websites that may have rules to Save/Commit your session before your battery dies.
Websites should have rules like that anyway, if required. An internet connection, particularly a mobile one, should probably be considered less reliable than a device's battery.

How is "only explains by using the right parameters" much different from "only explains by modifying an equation"?
Admittedly I don't know what parameters of dark matter you're referring to, but if observations tell us they should have a certain value, what's the problem if they do?
Isn't the science behind Dark Matter something that basically does not match the real world?
It's current theory that doesn't match the real world. Something is missing from it, because we've made observations that don't add up. Dark matter fits pretty well - better than the other theories, I'm pretty sure - but its existence has yet to be proven.
As far as I can tell "science" is doing okay. Maybe some scientists are showing a little too much hubris, giving a little too much credence to the idea of dark matter and not enough to other theories, but how could we actually [i]know[/i] that until it's proven one way or the other?
Nope, but kudos to you for asking the question rather than leaping to conclusions, assuming it to be true, and having a condescending laugh at how stupid scientists have been all these years, as others have done.
One of the things dark matter is hoped to explain is how the galaxies we already knew about rotate the way they do. We look at a galaxy, and we see stars at certain distances orbiting at certain speeds. But the distribution of rotational speeds doesn't make sense, given the amount of matter we can see.
These diffuse galaxies are separate galaxies of their own, so their mass can't do anything to explain the rotation curves of other galaxies.
Amazing! Dark matter is just regular matter that was dimmer than other galaxies according to you! Where's your nobel prize?
Isn't that exactly what you just said before?
Anyway, one of the things dark matter is hoped to explain is the rotation curves of galaxies we can already see. I don't see how these newly discovered ultra diffuse galaxies can do that.
I was going to upgrade, just to see what it was like. First I tried to take a clone of hard drive, but somehow, during that process, my motherboard died and so I was without my laptop while it got repaired. In the meantime I'd heard a f ewhorror stories about Windows 10 so I decided to put it off.
Now I'm glad I completely dodged the bullet. The latest thing to angry me up about Windows 10 was when I gave my colleague a shortcut on his desktop to deactive a VPN and add a route while he's in the office, so he can route the server-to-server VPN instead. All was fine until he got home. "Did you shut down the computer [before you left the office]?" I asked. He replied in the affirmative, and that he does so every time he takes the laptop to and fro. That's when I discovered that Windows 10 doesn't actually "shut down." It logs you off and hibernates instead. This leaves stopped services stopped, and leaves added routes in place.
I dread to think what Horace Dediu was doing to himself as he wrote this, but I don't think it was sanitary.

Because you've decided what counts as a "product" and what doesn't. How many cigarettes have ever been bought? How many copies of the Bible have sold? How many different versions of the iPhone are you bundling as a single product?

Uh... that's pretty much the main gist of the summary.

He does a bit, doesn't he?

So not buying them, then? Perhaps we could call this thing "stealing."

Javascript is a "programming language"?
Yes, it is.
So when do we see an OS written in Javascript controlling all aspects of a pc's motherboard, processor etc?
Irrelevant to whether something is a programming language or not.
Is this actually measuring popularity, or just usage?
Just because something's used a lot, doesn't mean it's actually popular with the people who use it...

Dark matter explains it by providing the extra mass required to explain the observations.
Actually this is a much simpler explanation of "the unaccounted" mass the science had strugle with. It so simple that it is very funny.
What's funny is that you think you're incredibly clever, but actually, you have no idea what dark matter is all about.
This discovery - which is actually over a year old - has nothing to do with dark matter.
Yes, that's exactly my point.

Thank you, thank you.

And how are you going to do that? Implant every bird with a GPS receiver that will stun it out of the sky if it gets too close to an airport?
