Bingo! Trickle-down econ BS; and MBA outsourcing real work (factories etc.) to China etc. and outsourcing coding/programming to incompetent "monkeys” in India etc.; and deregulation of the insurance industry (bit me personally: no more reporting to Fed --> no more reporting systems).

That's what I said. I started by pointing out that the article was wrong in claiming that Double-keyed Browser Caching "forces websites to maintain separate copies of shared resources". Websites only need one file that they can point to (public URL or private filesystem) . . . even if the browser (client) downloads more than once from the website (server).

Comment Red Herring: storage (Score 1) 88

The storage argument "forces websites to maintain separate copies of shared resources" per domain is a red herring (BS). The websites already have separate directory trees (in CDN). Any shared resources can continue to be shared: just use symbolic links in website tree(s) to the shared resource(s) in CDN. Don't they do this already?

Thanks!

So, we mostly agree on the facts. But, the "tech[nician] in Lebanon" was not mentioned. The article said that at least two Hezbollah members suspected something was amiss with the devices. One of them could have been a/the technician. I’m just curious whether someone spilled the beans (first) or Hezbollah actually found out upon inspection (first).

Sorry. Bad analysis. The gaslines had nothing to due with interest rates. Expensive car repairs are expensive, but not because of interest rates. Get real; your family needed the loan. The real issue with interest rates is balance: interest on (our) savings/investments versus interest on loans.
