Do you trust Forbes?
Not at all, but I get your point. OTOH why are you letting every Tom, Dick and Forbes run code, "sandbox"ed or not, on your computer?

A HFT trader uses his knowledge of market conditions (ie: Royal Bank of Canada just placed a major buy order for GM that will jack up the price) to profit. He doesn't try to change the price of anything, he just uses his superior knowledge of what the price is going to do to make a buck.
So how is that not considered insider trading? Or is the GM buy order public knowledge but most people don't have the ability to take advantage of it during the millisecond window?
It would look around half as bright as a regular light of the same size though
I know some people like that.
So, wait, you seriously think there are people out there who would voluntarily choose to sleep outside, often without any protection from the elements?
Isn't that just called camping?
Perhaps better than the IPR mechanism would be an appeals process by which anyone can make an 'obviousness' challenge to any patent approved by the rank and file PTO staff to a higher-level and more technical board that must review the patent before it's actually enforceable.
As soon as you create this process someone will build a system that automatically submits an appeal for every patent issued and we end up worse off than before.
somebody else can do it - somebody who isn't trying to make a product that will last. Startup type people who will bang something out and then, if it proves successful, rewrite it in boring technologies anyway.
Startup types will use whatever technology lets them shortcut their way to being first to market. Once it's up and running they move on to the next startup and leave it to the new owners to figure out how to implement it using a boring technology that will actually scale and be a viable business.
Oh, horseshit
Uh, none? Maybe you're thinking of HD from 2003 or so. These days their showrooms are full of bikes with some still left over from last year. Want a particular model/color? There's usually 3 dealerships within 50 miles that have it in stock and will discount from MSRP to sell it to you.
In the meantime, you can always delete the trust yourself. Open your Browsers Certificate List ("Options, Advanced, Certificates, View Certificates" in Firefox), find CNNIC's certs (there are two in Firefox - "CNNIC ROOT" and "China Internet Network Information Center EV Certificates Root") and either delete them altogether or edit the trust and remove the ability to sign websites.
What happens the next time there's an update to firefox?
While Boeing may been granted the patent, it's unclear how long it will be before the company deploys the real-life force fields.
This makes me think that this is just a patent application.
I'm pretty sure the plume of molten copper of an RPG couldn't give a crap about a shockwave.
Actually I believe it does. Thats the whole principle behind reactive armor. My understanding is that the detonation of the armor produces a counter shockwave that disrupts the precisely shaped detonation of the warhead and the plume ends up splashing rather than boring through.
Apple Pay is for stupid people.
I take it that you use Apple Pay daily then?
