So, your case against solar power is... that hurricanes can tear apart houses? I mean you do realize that, aside from not having solar panels any more, the people who lived in the houses they came from also don't have a house either? You might as well advocate for not making houses out of shoddy materials and construction techniques too... Well, actually, you really should advocate for that for houses built in disaster prone areas.

Technically though, neutrons can actually have a polarity. The internal charges of a neutron do cancel each other out, giving it a total neutral charge, but those charges do not need to be perfectly in balance.

As an example, there's xAI's gas turbine powered data center in Memphis. The company naturally took a build now/ permit later approach to essentially building their own power plant, as one does. That lead to plenty of complaints from neighbors, of course. Of course, the government naturally sided with the scofflaw big corporation instead of the residents... as one does.

Very very few people are going to do that. They're going to try another browser and it's going to work just fine in that browser and then they're going to use that browser.

That's because the advanced privacy features aren't in the current builds yet. It's very new stuff that they were using to prevent the kind of fingerprinting that is used to track people.

And it probably will not affect you because even after they roll out the new privacy features you are probably in a database somewhere of existing customers or something like that. The problem is going to be brand new customers getting flagged by mistake.

So the old farts floating around here are probably never going to see the effect, although as I mentioned on another thread I've been flagged before by Sony and was unable to buy anything on their game stores for ages.

It's more likely to affect somebody just starting out. Somebody who doesn't have purchasing history with a company.

If you're talking about nuclear power plants while carefully actually saying it, then the main thing is the lead in time as a direct concern and the doubt and uncertainty caused by that lead in time as a second order concern and also the sheer expense as another primary concern.

This doesn't break the website it prevents you from completing a purchase. Generally speaking if you get flagged for fraud you won't be told. It just shows up as a decline. I had it happen to me trying to buy games for my PS3 from Sony back in the day. I would have to go to Amazon and buy a gift card and then load it because Sony had decided I was an evil Mastermind or something and they would not approve me for purchases no matter what. The card had a zero balance and I have an 800-point credit score.

You haven't seen it because Firefox isn't really doing all that much to prevent fingerprinting yet. They have a bunch of stuff in the nightly builds that will be in production build soon and it's going to be a problem.

How much of a problem will probably vary. Us old farts are probably in a database somewhere already that will allow us to get through. But if you're in your twenties and just starting out then when you go to make purchases it's going to be an issue.

Most consumers won't know what the hell is going on and they will just try it in another browser like Chrome or edge and it'll work and that'll be that. And they will never think about Firefox again.

So you disable all the tracking and that's cool and all but a lot of businesses use that tracking to decide whether or not you're committing fraud or not.

So you use Firefox and they can't track you but then they won't let you make purchases on their website...

As a regular user then you go to Chrome because you find it if you use Firefox you can't buy stuff but if you use Chrome you can.

It's a problem that Firefox is seemingly unaware of and probably needs to find a solution for. Basically we need to find a middle ground of some kind.

I guess you could say the companies shouldn't do that because they shouldn't be tracking users but it's often the only effective way to catch fraud.

Kind of ironic to say given the incredibly faulty logic at work in these comments.

Indeed. Typical MAGA-level of no insight whatsoever.

Yeah but win amp was the first to whip the llamas ass, really.

And now accuse Peter Gutmann of the same. I dare you.

Incidentally, I know what is at stake. But I also, quite unlike you, understand why "QCs" are not a credible threat.

You still have not read or understood what I wrote. There is nothing wrong with Physics experiments. There is a lot wrong with claiming Physics experiments are computers, when they are anything but.

Been a while since I've flown a budget airline. On the normal flights I've taken, there's always a few people (usually older people) with paper boarding passes.
