Vote out every single politician who supports this. If you can't successfully primary them, that means you might have to vote for someone of your non-preferred political party in the general.

Sure, I agree there are bad things about extreme centralization. I'm just saying that the increased collateral damage of censorship is a silver lining of it, not one of the bad things about it.

How is that a bad thing? Our goal should be to maximize the amount of collateral damage that any censorship causes, with the ideal case being that the only two choices available to the censors are &…

It's worse than that. Google will ban you just because someone you've previously worked with has gone onto do something they don't like: https://news.ycombinator.com/ite…

No, if you did that, they'd start by saying "hey, stop that", not jump immediately to "you're banned from every Golden Corral location for the rest of your life".

I don't think it's fair to equate running JS that can change the rendered output with the archive server actually changing the HTML it sends back.

Does archive.org really let its archives be changed ? That's very different than letting them be deleted from a credibility perspective.

> Skipping the cipher (or hash - not sure now) tests seem like a good way to get exploited. Can you explain how? That doesn't seem plausible.

Don't Wine and Microsoft already need to support the native API forever since so many AAA games use it?

Antivirus is going to flag you no matter what if you're not a big-name developer with an expensive certificate. Even a "hello world" GUI program done with MSVC and Win32 gets called the…

The latest version of Firefox is not a legacy browser.

I dislike the examples here where the "old" way works in all browsers, but the "new" way only works in Chrome/Edge. IMO, it's irresponsible to include such examples, sinc…

Hasn't the Model Y been the world's #1 best selling car the last 3 years in a row? Even if their sales are down some, I hardly think you can call them a failed experiment.

Tesla is doing fine. I think the problem is the legacy automakers, not the EVs.
