Not for me. When I'm viewing a page that has multiple sub-pages of interest, I tend to open a new tab for those sub pages. For example, one tab for the/. main page and a new tab for each article I read -- similarly for actual news sites.:-) Don't really know why I would want to go back and forth within a single tab.

Why people with philosophy degrees are unemployable.
Except this guy teaches at Harvard and, according to his faculty page, has:
... an Sc.B. in Mathematics and Computer Science and an M.S. in Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences from Brown University in 1989. After several years as a graduate student in Logic and Methodology of Science, he finally received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California at Berkeley in 1998.
Which is more education than I, and probably you, have.
That would be showing off, but you would still be expected to discuss the positives and negatives of your approach.
Thanks. I followed up in another post that this method is (a) very fast and (b) almost all the run-time gets logged against the system, not the user (for accounting purposes). Both because the program spends all its time in the write() system call with the OS demand-loading pages from the file through the map as they are referenced, then discarded as needed. This was just a simple example to demonstrate using mmap(). It is also *way* simpler than doing the buffering yourself... I had a discussion with the real-time developers, coming from CDC NOS and NOS/VE, about other Unix OS and memory things at the time...
The superpowers who managed to land a spacecraft on the moon have spent hundreds of millions.
Yes, 50 years ago, and having to develop the entire thing from scratch instead of opening a bunch of catalogs and buying the parts.
And... if I recall correctly, one of those superpowers sent several spacecraft, with people in them, to the moon and back.
So, while it will be a great achievement, don't break an arm jerking yourself off (to quote Rick Sanchez) as you still spent $100M on a "probe" to be launched on top of a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster (a US company) -- while the super powers, of which you speak, built their own back in the day.
I referenced the same Wikipedia article for other countries. England was just the first country that came to mind -- I think I remember reading an article about a security measure in the bank notes (or bank notes in general), which also noted them being polymer.
Matt Watson, a video blogger, posted a 20-minute clip detailing how comments on YouTube were used to identify certain videos in which young girls were in activities that could be construed as sexually suggestive, such as posing in front of a mirror and doing gymnastics.
Just about *any* activity can be sexually suggestively to someone, somewhere. Not judging, just sayin'...
You can only block IP addresses on your router, of which I'm sure Facebook use hundreds as part of their CDN.
Kashmir Hill at Gizmodo did a series where she spent a week each blocking Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Apple from her life (devices and internet sites), then a week blocking them all. (link to series) She had a friend setup a VPN for her devices configured to block access to the provider(s) and she noted in the articles how many IPs each controlled: Amazon: 23 million, Apple: 6 million, Facebook: 122,880, Google: 8 million, Microsoft: 21 million -- there's a link in each article to the data. She noted that blocking / not using Amazon was virtually impossible.
Browsers are moving towards dns over http, which bypasses your hosts file.

If he means money made of paper, then he's probably right, but wrong otherwise.
Case in point, the Bank of England now uses polymer banknotes for their current £5 and £10 denominations and will use that for higher ones in 2020. Many other countries have done the same for their currencies. Polymer notes are (reportedly) cleaner and stronger (allowing them to last longer) and safer (can incorporate more security features).
Scientists think they've identified a previously unknown form of neural communication that self-propagates across brain tissue, and can leap wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another...
Yeah, of course ignoring the fact that it will utterly break even for files 1 GB depending on how large your address space is and how much is used for other stuff.
It works fine no matter the file size and system memory... The filesystem uses the virtual memory sub-system and the OS demand loads file pages as they are referenced by write() and then discards them (as needed) -- the whole file is *not* read into memory. Very efficient and wicked fast. In addition, as I noted, almost all of the run-time gets logged against the system, not the user (where accounting is enabled).
Our two programs were reverse a singly-linked list and copy a file. Watching recent CS grads who were weaned on a diet of Java trying to do file copy (it's important in C/C++ to know how to sling data around in buffers) was such a train wreck. In my case, I knew the basic file copy inside and out, including the performance implications of buffering.
Or skip the buffering. I wrote an example using mmap() for Ultrix / 4.3BSD on a VAX-11/785 back in 1991 to demonstrate Unix memory mapping to a colleague at NASA LaRC who was coming from CDC NOS and NOS/VE [ my opinion is that NOS stands for Not an Operating System:-) ]. The program cats files to stdout, but could be changed to copy to a destination. The benefit here is that the OS does *all* the paging/buffering for you and (literally almost) all the run-time is accounted for as system time. The 50 line program still compiles cleanly on Ubuntu 16.04. (snippets below)
A company who makes a cure for a disease will one make a lot of upfront money from people demanding the cure. Which they can reinvest into finding the next condition that needs to be cured. It will be a long time for all problems to be cured.
True, but... there's no guarantee the next cure for anything will be found, or at what expense.
Profits from the Smallpox vaccine literally dropped to zero shortly after is was introduced. The shareholders were quite angry about that, I remember it well.
Also, if I recall correctly, none of the shareholders, or their children, have died of Smallpox.
I hope they put that on their ROI scale too.
Clearly a horrible person, but life in prison? Many twenty year olds are horrible people but they usually grow up.
Maybe it's time to talk limiting incarceration; perhaps five to ten years, for most offenses lacking physical assault.
They committed crimes against individuals, corporations and society as a whole, and demonstrated a complete disregard for all three. People like this, along with identity thieves, should, "one by one, taken out behind the chemical sheds... and shot." (to misappropriate a quote)
The Kyocera Hydro Vibe, I bought in 2015, has a vibrating screen instead of a regular ear speaker and it's not super, but I believe it helps with its water-proof certification [Certified waterproof for IPX5, and IPX7. Immersible for up to 30 minutes in up to 3.28 feet (1 meter).]. For best results, you need to hold the phone FIRMLY against your ear (experimenting for best placement). It does also have a rear speaker for speaker-phone use -- as well as a freaking headphone jack -- and they work great.

Except the part where he has a job teaching at Harvard -- which counts as employment.

"peeing into the mix" - peeing into the mix of WHAT? such a weirdly worded phrase - sounds like a bootleg GG Alli recording...
I imagine there's a comma missing. This would be better:

Congrats, but settle down.
With TRR, it goes to a provider of Mozilla's choosing that I have no control over and have no reason to trust.
As mentioned in both Mozilla links I included, you can specify the DoH server with "network.trr.uri" :
Link 1: 4. Set "network.trr.uri" to your DoH server. Cloudflare’s is https://mozilla.cloudflare-dns... but you can use any DoH compliant endpoint.
Link 2: Set "network.trr.uri". Ones that you may use: https://mozilla.cloudflare-dns..., https://dns.google.com/experim...
I believe I read that Google is considering a GUI implementation for the DoH configuration for Chrome.
