  • That dude is just slow and doesn’t understand his tools. I have several thousand tabs open and it takes all of half a second to jump to any one of them. FF allows you to search open tabs just by using the address bar. Let’s say you’re researching camera lenses and you have 5 youtube videos open, several forum posts, the lens maker’s website open, and a bunch of different sales websites like adorama and b&h open. Do you literally bookmark those and close them all to end your day and then just reopen them the next? Why not just leave them open. FF handles it fine.


  • I don’t really understand how bookmarks would help. Like, let’s imagine you’re in your office doing research and your office happens to be the Library of Congress. You have a bunch of books with different references open on the table. You need to go to sleep. Is it easier to write down every single page you have bookmarked and put it on a piece of paper on the table, then close all the books put them back on the shelf, go to sleep, wake up, and then take all the books back off of the shelf, reference your paper, and open every book again back to those pages to continue working? I very much doubt so. Bookmarks are one of the worst inventions of the browser honestly. They do not accomplish anything they mean to. I use bookmarks for one thing. Pages I visit daily and don’t need to remember context in. e.g. github repos. And then I use vimium to navigate to them with fuzzy search. Working projects always stay open and I use Sidebery to maintain groupings.














  • I’m gonna go ahead and say that the lawyers I implemented it for understand it a lot better than you (and yes even Google’s lawyers).

    If not in the EU, this doesn’t impact a business not planning to operate there.

    it does if you ever will operate there though. Many many companies eventually need to do business in the EU. So not following GDPR is just asking to never be allowed to operate there ever. Fine for local newspapers, not fine for a finance company that eventually needs to do business across national boundaries.




  • You’re defining hack as a very small subset of what an actual hack is. Many, many exchanges have been hacked due to security flaws, or phishing attacks, etc. You’re clearly defining “hack” to mean a protocol 0-day or something like that, which is honestly ridiculous.

    Or you can just go ahead and generate valid wallets and hope that there’s money in them. https://github.com/DavidMGilbert/btc-hack

    That’s not downtime, that’s congestion. It never stopped processing transactions. If you paid a high fee, you would go through immediately. And that’s happened rarely and doesn’t effect lightning transactions which are the ones you use if speed is a priority.

    -_- you’re insane. good luck.
