This is absolutely insane to me. Native HTML5 gives so much power and it seems like front end devs love to jargon and buzzword the next big thing to death every other year. I primarily work in networking and if we added the layers of complexity like I see front end work does we would have SDN configuring an internal PtP VPN for every device on a LAN just because it's the hot new tech.

Yes.

What about with Safari?

I think erring on the side of needing warrants for law enforcement can help with some of the incidental vs targeted surveillance debate. Law enforcement driving past while on regular patrol and noticing something vs spending time and resources to launch a drone, fly a plane, or stake out a property for surveillance has a distinction that feels neat enough for a court to rule on.

I believe a test that would pass muster could be a "passer-by" test. If a person, unaided by technology, can from a public property, see something in or on the property, while passing by at a walking pace, no warrant is needed. Anything further should require a warrant.

I don't think your assumption is correct based on this sentence: "I also want to take this moment to clearly state that Evan Koblentz, the director of the Vintage Computer Federation for many years, who took the original donation, had absolutely no say or part in this pulping of historical magazines, having been driven out of the organization years before."

Emphasis mine.

Imagine a company buying a small utility for the cost of a Corvette from an Indy developer today... More likely they would just poach the utility from open source and not return anything.

Elders have complained about the impetus of youth for longer than the boomers.

"The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint ... As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behaviour and dress." - Peter the Hermit, 1274

In my opinion, "journalism for journalism's sake" would be what we call reporting the truth, or investigative journalism. Is there a national outlet that invests in pure investigative journalism anymore?

No, there have been only a couple of managers that had significant problems with their implementations. Usually it's a closed source manager that has the undisclosed implementation issues that get exploited.

I swear we are getting too damn smart for our own good. What's wrong with a 205 Reset Content error code? Or a 503 Service Unavailable code? Yes, some users will bounce and never come back to check your page, but who cares if you are getting 1000x or 10000x the baseline visitors.
