It is obvious that the path forward involves more and more user participation. Instead of a scheduled programming, Netflix users were given the ability to choose what show to watch and for how many episodes they want.

The logic step is this move is to let users affect the direction of the show, engaging them in the story-telling. It's been trialled in one country but the UX was poor. Netflix can and should expand on that idea.

You could compare that with the Choose Your Own Adventure type of gamebook but instead of being each person choosing their story (too demanding for now), it is the viewer base.

Thanks for your reply, it's good to know.

That said, I'd like to know how you found that out? Even after searching on the KB, I never saw that option. If I go to Settings and type "pass" in the search box, I do NOT get what you get when going to chrome://settings/search#pass

I've been using Vivaldi for about 6 months now. This post is made via Vivaldi. One issue I've had and could not find a solution is that of unlocking my saved passwords. In Firefox, you can press a button to see your saved password, and the browser kindly asks "are you sure?". In Vivaldi you don't even have that option. I had to use the built-in inspector to alert() me my password at form submission time since it was remembered and prefilled by the browser.

Other than that, I enjoy it. It's slightly nimbler than Firefox and not as intrusive as Chrome.

They are offering $10/month + free STB for the first year provided you commit to one year. It comes with 35+ channels, received my STB one or two days later. Works flawlessly. There is also an app to watch on your tablet but support is limited. Nexus (Google) is out, Yoga 3 (Lenovo) is out, Galaxy (Samsung) is ok, Ipad (Apple) is okay.

This is becoming a trend!

After the Congestion Fee for driving in town, the Upgrade Fee for centre seats at the theatre, we now have the ridiculous idea of banning Adblockers, the last prophylactic in our arsenal against e-fections.

This madness must stop forthwith!

You should read the content of the article. It says that to turn off, it takes a few weeks/months precisely because of residual, but once off, it's off no questions asked.
When you turn it back on, it's on immediately.

"Hydrofluoric acid" is for wimps. My friend Hank recommends using Chlorine Trifluoride/

Yes with ARC welder from Google, I can run Android apps on my Linux machine and possibly others.

I'll even add that adblockers do what they can to prevent infections, so they're more like vaccines, and antivirus is like antibiotics.

We are ALL vegetarians... after all, meat is a just a highly processed vegetables. ;-)

For those still needed to understand how the EU is ruled, here is a quick primer. Feel free to add more if you think it's relevant:
1) there are 3 groups in charge of the EU: the European Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament.
2) members of the European Parliament are elected by European citizens via your usual voting booth.
3) members of the European Commission are not elected but appointed by their respective country of origin's government.
4) members of the European Council are in fact the heads of European government plus the president of the European Commission

You can see from that arrangement that exactly one group is elected and consequently renders an account to the electors. In this case, it's a member of the European Parliament that raises the flag on a proposal from a member of the European Commission.

You also know that Julian Assange has never been a U.S citizen, right?

I'll only start to worry when machine learning can understand abstract concepts.

Not a bitcoin hater/lover, but I remember lots of loud voices here on Slashdot against fiat currencies.

Isn't bitcoin the most extreme of fiat currencies? A number with no physical value at all, not even worth the paper it's written on since it's not written at all.

At least, it's not centralized and barely regulated. For now. But let me know if I missed something.
