Comment What does this mean then? (Score 1) 139

Following the disabling process from the blurb I see it is indeed enabled on my machine but in the enabling section below the various checkboxes I see "Search suggestions will not be shown in location bar results because you have configured Firefox to never remember history." Does it mean they are still sending keystrokes without paying the 'suggestion benefit', they aren't sending the keystrokes regardless and suggesting only from your history or what? That message remains whether I disable the suggestion or not.

If you want privacy don't tell James to tell Tom. That cannot be a private conversation between you and Tom. The internet is always using third parties to pass information. You are wrong to expect privacy whatever the third party tells you because there are always fourth and more parties involved. Even if you only post in coded messages you run the risk of them being decoded.

So what you expect is for a legitimate site provider to act illegally on your behalf. Are you paying their lawyers fees, judgements against them, or serving their time? I didn't think so. Try the dark web and hope they don't extort you into worse crimes.

I'm going to say that the metal can be melted down / repurposed a lot easier than rubber when you look at the mountainous piles of tires all over the place. Sure those could be ground down and put into the asphalt but I'd think that metal leeching into the ground water is less of a problem than rubber. there isn't too much toxic about the two most prevalent shape-memory alloys, copper-aluminium-nickel and nickel-titanium (NiTi) all elements already in common use.

Comment superposition, eh? (Score 2) 20

can you divide by [0|1]? need another programming language, I guess. I know, just define a new constant that is the superposition of 0 and 1 akin to the root of -1 and bobs your uncle! There is a precedent for uncomputable numbers so why not this! Maybe an asymptote are just a orthogonal turn into a dimension we are not equipped to detect.

Ah yes the old saw "never assume malice for something that can be explained by incompetence" which does nothing to help the incompetent and provides cover for the crafty malicious. All he needs to do to cover his malice is to throw in some dumb stuff to "prove" his incompetence and he is off the hook.
