Clearly you haven't been reading minified JavaScript recently.
That's a fair point but you can still read it with a bit of effort. I've done it.
JavaScript hasn't been readable for years, and the world didn't end.
it did for me.:P
Surely that is a completely separate concern? Non-advanced users have never been able to read JavaScript. And when WebAssembly becomes more popular, the non-advanced users won't be able to read that, too. So from their perspective nothing changes.
I'm speaking to the point that they will be exploited for their processing power by WebAssembly. It wasn't until recently that it became a real option.
Perhaps the most important change in 2017 was the deployment of WebAssembly. It's the most important because it's the final nail in the coffin for readable JavaScript. Already it's being exploited and wasting everyone's computing power to scrape up cryptopennies. JavaScript as we know it is now over and the age of exploitation is in motion.
Congratulations everyone, JavaScript is now a complete noose around your neck just waiting to be pulled!;)
have been directed toward conservatives or others who don't mindlessly toe the party line. Strangely, those all seem to stay up. If you want to talk about uneven enforcement, how about starting there?
Start where exactly? Do you have any examples or have you simple invented posts that do not exist in order to validate your own bias?
The AGW zealots posted this right when everyone else is too busy shoveling global warming out of their driveways.
It sure reads like you don't understand the difference between climate change and the weather. The weather is going to become increasingly volatile which means you are going to get more extreme weather patterns (larger range of temperature) thus altering the climate. Ergo climate change. However, the overall temperature of the planet is still going to rise. Ergo global warming.
Of the things that are going extinct, speakers of a particular language are not of great concern. Some people may see it as a tragedy but we aren't really losing much of anything. It's more romanticism over something interesting more than anything else.
Sure, a single point of failure is outside of your control may fail but four single points of failure stacked atop each other (power/network hardware/ISP/server) is a recipe for disaster.
Nothing about this is hijacking. Hijacking implies it's an unauthorized takeover when the fact is that it's simply Javascript is doing exactly what it was created to do: execute arbitrary instructions from a remote source. The only thing different is that this is annoying people enough that it threatens all the jerks that demand to execute Javascript.
Here's an idea: add basic animation and ad hoc relative source loading for CSS then completely do away with Javascript. Oh but the money people don't give a shit about what users want, it's all about what they want.
Be real, this is just the logical conclusion of Javascript.
Instead of worrying about identifying and remedying problems in my life, I just let Systemd manage my life. If i get to caught up and don't respond to it in time, it kills me and then spawns a new copy! Speaking of which, OH GOD, I FORGOT THE BUTTON! AAAARRRRGGGHHHhhhh! ... ...
Russia has by far the largest propaganda team that is focused on affairs of foreign nations (China only gives a damn about China related stuff). Additionally, the effect (if not also the intent) of their propaganda is causing civil unrest. This is why Russia is being singled out.
Right about now is when you people claiming things about people being part of the "Cult of Elon" and bullshit about how it's all a scam. I just like that he's advancing technology to help humanity advance rather than simply exploit it.
I've uncomfortably used Apple phones for the last several years, but I'm done with that - replaceable batteries and expandable storage are on the required list for my next phone!
AMD has out classed Intel performance and IME is about to blow up in their faces so they need to find a way to embed themselves in a market that is unable to reject them. When the past decade of Intel processors suddenly become an unacceptable risk to businesses they are going to need a life raft.
Unfortunately (for them), Intel overprices all their parts, is very closed off (NDAs out the ass) and refuses to abandon x86 which why they will never be able to compete with ARM for embedded devices. The day they start popping out $2 chips without a power hungry ISA and provide datasheets will be the day that hell freezes over.
It's certainly possible that there could be technological solutions to these problems before 2040 but isn't the sensible thing to develop the technology first and THEN motivate the switch to it by passing laws.
Only until they realize that there are many non-fuel related uses of oil such as plastics, pharmaceuticals, clothing/fabrics, asphalt etc.
Considering oil is a non-renewable source, it's better that we resolve such issues while we still have the luxury of having an abundant amount of oil. What you need to realize is that many things were developed to use oil because it was so abundant. We're making headway with plastics (see bioplastics) and that's really the biggest issue here.
Then there is the question about how to power their aircraft.
I've thought about this exact issue and my conclusion was that hydrogen fuel cells is the best alternative based on current technology. It would be more expensive but all you need is water and electricity to make what you need.

You're missing the point, this about more than just advanced users.
If you have to keep an updated list of locations to block then it means it's a successful tactic and is earning them revenue.
See, my problem isn't with cryptomining scripts, it's with all scripts because any of them can be malicious.

I'd like to see the release notes to see just HOW MANY missing features it now contains. That list could be literally endless!
Yes because there are literally an endless number of features. -_-
How did they solve the Don Quixote problem? ;)
So you don't even participate in FB, have no basis to believe that what I'm saying is untrue
I have plenty of reasons to not believe you. However, if you put forth evidence of your claim then I will have reason to believe you.
It's amusing that you posted this head-in-the-sand gem a full 18 minutes after the AC post right above yours.
Raise your visibility threshold. ACs aren't worth looking at.
If you don't see the same and far worse on FB on a daily basis, you've achieved a purified echo chamber indeed.
Only fools bother with facebook in the first place or as Mr. Zuckerberg put it, "dumb fucks".

Please educate yourself on this very important topic.
this is not how ransomware works. ;)

Yep, it's still the Federal Trade Commission!
Pay people what they are worth! If you only offer people peanuts then you aren't going to get a warm reception.

Preposterous! 2005, 2006, 2007, ... 2018 is going to be the year of the Linux desktop. That's what I said and I'm sticking to it! ;)
Fox News certainly isn't helping matters but their purpose is to get ratings, not civil unrest.

Why just single out the Russians.
