of course it wouldn't be gone. It would just be where it belongs.

somewhere else.

unfortunately.

that won't be happening.

I think number 10 is firefox's pocket.

I know what you're saying, but think about things like jquery that every site uses. It's reasonable to source it remotely because everyone has it cached. Unless you had some content ID system in the browsers to pull locally sourced scripts up, we'd lose that instant CDN effect.

That said. It's hard to compare the benefits of that to the cost of the nonsense in OP's story. For every 50ms we've gained from cached jquery we've lost 3s to stupid advertising.

People universally stated their feedback about pocket and it's still there.

Why participate in a no-op?

To be blunt, it kinda does.

Before, the major actor that could issue genuine consequences for speech was the state. The word "Consequences" in the statement "freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences", means a punch to the face or a stern shaming from townsfolk. You got on with it, kept doing your job, continued to live your life.

When the state objected to your speech, it would end your life, it would destroy you.

But fast forward to today. Suddenly loud demographics of people have the ability to destroy you in the long term, destroy your working prospects, smear your reputation, mark you as unhireable, harass you everywhere. State level consequences. It's no longer a punch to the face in a bar for obnoxious speech. It's no longer the "consequences" in "freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences". Those consequences are now state level. How meaningless would this statement be if it was "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences from the state."

"You're free to talk, no one will stop you, but we the state still get to destroy your life." How meaningless is that?!

You say people shouldn't be vilified as an outcast. But that's what will happen!

I hear what you're saying here, but just taking what the article was saying, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

    Then one of the participants drank some contraband Scotch and became 
    unusually, violently ill. He confessed his transgression to the 
    researchers, and follow-up studies confirmed his account: WIN 18,446 
    didn’t mix well with booze.

I suspect this inmate was more than a little liquored up. Just a guess. But more importantly this part:

    WIN’s side effects sounded familiar to Amory. In his clinical practice, 
    he’d occasionally prescribed Antabuse (disulfiram) to patients who 
    struggled with alcohol addiction. The drug blocks a form of the enzyme 
    acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which helps the body metabolize 
    alcohol;

which means it's effects are used in practice to combat alcoholism.

Can't be that bad. Though, that still means that there could be other interactions not described?

hey we just have hatespeach laws. I'm not proud of them but that's what we have.

I think your chances are doing that are slim. Maybe a better strategy is to not base our societal discourse on central points of control.

Maybe #FixInternet.

isn't it 10%? Main site says 10%, but I hear people complaining about 20%. I'm not sure what's going on here.

This is such a clean concept.

If you have a tiny application, doing a tiny thing, do you need redis? Do you need sqlite? do you need to write some custom-text-file-ma-bob? nah. I feel like simple simple little tools like this are in short supply.

That sounds silly, but that's when they killed the audio reader functionality so as to not compete with the audiobook industry right?

also it seems its not the paint that's expensive, but the retooling, so it's a one time cost.

really seems much ado about nothing.

Just thought I would mention: PassFF does not works with the current version of firefox. The current plugin does not work and is not supported. According to the author, we should wait for the Web-Extensions version which will be coming... no idea... soon? I asked about 2 months ago. So pass is basically just a command line password manager unless you run firefox developer edition.

no doubt. if you politically object to anything on that list, you merely need to compare it to something higher up and force people into a binary choice. "Which would be better"?

a co-worker did this, it took him to a screen that was designed to imitate the windows blue screen of death.

I assume it was also attempting to deliver some kind of payload as well, because the browser crashed on that page.

There is no way an advertising standard in which google was a part of laying the ground rules could be considered a "Better Ad".

a dynamic site can't work without mutability, ipfs can't deal with mutability, so ipfs comes with ipns, which allows you to statically reference content that might change.
