Here you can clearly see how the 'we'-culture is misused by the 'top' of Mozilla to shuffle off responsibility: there's nobody to rebel against.

I like the idea.

I find the advertising inside podcasts also particularly annoying. You can't ignore them by looking away like you would on a screen.

Maybe we need an adblock for podcasts (even if it will be difficult to automize -> some manual stripping of the parts where they are promoting stuff)

I think they hoped this law would encourage sites that people don't expect to have cookies to not set cookies until necessary. Like state sponsored news sites for example. I mean, really: why on earth does a site like that need to set cookies? To remember which videos I have watched?

The real problem here is probably Google Analytics.

Are browsers intelligent enough to inline the function invocation on each step of a _.times ?

Give it to the Greek Government - just kidding

Anyone knows if revoking certificates is also free?

A product competing (at least in part) with Google Analytics is criticizing Google Analytics. Please.

Does anybody know if it is the browser or the operating system that checks the validity of the dns records? Is it enabled on all clients?

Technology has made outsourcing much easier providing tools such as Skype.

I think the reason for this downward trend is the rise of ("free") web applications. There is simply less need to install local software.

I think the point made here is quite interesting: instead of relying on (puppet, chef,...) to do the "deltas", always generating the whole system from scratch. This has a couple of advantages:

* You make sure everything is automated

* You can always trust the resulting system works; if it were to be built from scratch

what about speech recognition?

I also have the same problem the author has sometimes: If I know that there are a lot of tests covering a particular piece of code, I tend to be less diligent making modifications
