These platforms are starting to let people bet on wildfire activity. What a fun way of incentivizing arsonists.

Well, they do say the Universe is expanding... now we know why - Galactic Sugar is everywhere.

You're conflating your emotions with facts, in a field you very likely know very little about.

Always anonymous, always cowards.

Thats a aloe and you know it.

You are the one that said: “There are bigger points.” Why do you lie so much?

I suspect GP's point is that every malware blocker in every browser is likely to treat this kind of script as hostile, except for Chrome because Google are currently nerfing the ability for blockers to intercept hostile scripts in one of the most blatantly user-hostile changes they've ever made.

If Apple play along with Safari then every other browser and its malware blocking plugins are about to be toast in a huge retrograde step for Internet privacy. But not even Cloudflare is going to get away with blocking every iOS device if Apple continues to allow blockers to intercept this kind of script.

Did anyone mention recently that simultaneously controlling both the most popular web browser and several of the most popular ad-supported web properties might be a little anticompetitive, and that it's about time that Google was broken up? It's probably time for that drum to start beating a bit louder again.

None of these points have anything to do with what he said. You are introducing strawman arguments.

How does jobs in China or Vietnam create jobs in the US again? You seem to missed the whole part that where I said: " Not much difference when it comes to US jobs assembling those phones."

Maybe not as painful Intel x86 on TSMC silicon which happened last year.

But poster's point is still valid. Making the chips here only to ship them overseas for the device to be assembled. The only difference is assembled in Vietnam or India instead of China. Not much difference when it comes to US jobs assembling those phones.

so you want to get things done

you want freedom and do not want to compromise your ethics

As someone who has a Windows laptop with touch, I don’t have much use for touch. Even though Windows started to incorporate more touch beginning with Windows 8, many things are still mouse and keyboard driven. For example, many sites I use still rely on mouse over features or have very small control elements that are not touch friendly. With more applications becoming cloud based, it is more likely I will not use touch

Insane Clown Posse, is that you?

Once they realized you'd pay the hire price, if the fees are gone, the businesses are just going to go 'yummy more money for me'.

This is dumb shit. Many stores around me explicitly charge you the difference if you pay by credit card to cover the service fee.

I have never had my debit card compromised. Ever. The fact that it's a direct line is what makes it not usable to buy things online, etc (generally). But it's very nice to use in person - I like that when I spend money, I'm actually spending it and not creating debt. (Don't get me wrong, I always pay off my credit card bills every month, which are not trivial sums .. but I'm only using them because they're the only things you can use online.)

Credit cards, on the other hand - we all pay for the insurance. It's not really the banks problem, its a problem that you have protection for because you pay for it.

"Just give me 1% in cash"

That's still money that comes from somewhere. Like .. from you.
