I don't use Windows much. I have a gaming machine I sometimes need to browse the web on to download some software. Edge seems fine. It's never crashed. It's fast. There's no nagware boxes like IE. The design is a bit flat and unengaging, but it's a solid browser.
Thunderbird is as slow as webmail. It's even slower when the inbox starts filling up. UI is atrocious. Whole project feels amateurish. Thunderbird was good in 1999. And then it stopped improving.
Universal health care is different from a right to healthcare. Healthcare as a right has very different implications. If healthcare is a right, then if I move to Death Valley, the government would likely have to find a way to move a doctor near me. You end up with statutory and other requirements on access to healthcare. If healthcare is a right, every cancer patient likely has a right to the latest, greatest, most expensive treatment. Healthcare as a right would bankrupt the nation in a decade.
You mean it's a safe haven for those who do not wish to associate with world government? That sounds perfect for their purposes of signalling they are not under the control of Russia.
It's simple enough to reject those requests if Switzerland has reasonable privacy laws. "I'd love to send the data to Moscow HQ, but I'm in Switzerland and the law does not permit me to do so."
ok, but even those old names weren't all needed. We could have put everything on the.us domain. The fact is all those old TLDs were abused to host things they weren't inteded for. Personal homepage on.com? Misuse. News site on.org? Misuse. E-commerce site on.net? Misuse.
Having new TLDs makes it easier to find a reasonably good domain under a relevant TLD.
Even before TLD proliferation, a reasonably sized corporation would need to register all the 100+ country TLDs (or at least public ones). Adding a few more TLDs doesn't matter much.
The issue is more on the browser side. Why does your browser present https://microsoft.com/ the same as it does https://microsoft.com.hack.you... ? Because the browser designers haven't updated their address bar design in over a decade, corporations are forced to buy all possible domain permutations in order to protect their visitors.
They had a pre-sale where anyone with a corporate interest could register names associated to their businesses. It's unlikely you'd be able to find any good squattable.app domains.
No, that's Apple's recent attempted re-definition of "app". The rest of the English speaking world has used "app" to mean something quite different for at least 20 years or so.
Myths can be useful. They are often essentially a mnemonic device to remind you of a rule of thumb. They are just most useful when they are understood to be myths. Otherwise, it's hard to predict how well that myth applies to new situations.
Myth: food can be consumed safely in portions that your body will naturally limit through sensations such as hunger or satiety.
Truth: some foods can lead to medical complications which can be fatal long before your body tells you something is wrong.
The myth is a useful rule of thumb, but treating that myth as truth can kill you.
In that case, he's making the distinction between drug and nutrient based primarily on how easy it is to run experiments. Drugs tend to have simple, short term effects that are easy to experiment with, while nutrients are more complicated, and often take longer to take effect.
I don't think throwing up your hands and saying "this is hard" is good science.
Isn't the idea of healthcare as a right more a left-wing idea? Do many of your right-leaning friends actually think healthcare should be a right?
I'm genuinely curious. I actually associate "healthcare as a right" to uninformed voters of all political stripes. On the right, they don't understand how it gets paid for, and on the left, they don't understand how to get doctors to accept socialized prices.

In my experience if you don't go zero mail in Thunderbird, the entire app starts crawling, so that's probably a good strategy.
At first I assumed you meant it could not tell if the recipient opened the email and read it, and I was thinking that's to be expected.
Then I realized you probaly meant that it could not tell if you had read an email locally, which is quite sad, if true.

Any team that wants to waste their resources building a mail client on a browser platform has not demonstrated they will use my donations wisely.

LOL!
You may be in for a shock when your work environment catches up to 2015.
Opera Mail stores emails as individual plain text files. Nice feature to get full grep support on your inbox.

Remove the wifi from your car. Problem solved.
Neural nets identify patterns. Sometimes they identify bird and dog faces where there are no birds or dogs.
We are still a LONG way from a neural net providing anything approaching objective truth out of masses of subjective data.

So, you're new to Slashdot?

Naming is definitely relevant to those search engine rankings.
Oh the stupid things I would do if I were rich. I would turn .luddite into a web ring of conspiracy theory sites and joke sites about the Amish.

ok, but I buy fuckmercedes.com, Mercedes shouldn't be able to come along and suppress my speech because of my fair use of their trademark.
Now that selling TLDs is a thing, wouldn't it be easier to whitelist .com, .net, .org, .gov, and all the country TLDs?
What actually defines Trump voters is pro-life. Which party doesn't like responsibiliity again?
But then we'll have to process a bunch of extra headers that serve no purpose other than to make it compatible with platforms no one uses.
