>You've got to love a website that makes text selection invisible by default.

First time seeing it being invisible, mostly they just disable it. Terribly annoying practice. I often select text while reading articles.

It's literally just an alternative to Cloudflares attack protection.

It's also a real option with CockroachDB, unless you need regional sharding. Which a lot don't actually need anyways.

Couldn't find any that were on the same level as the one I use with Edge.

Switched to Firefox for like 6-12 months, eventually moved back to Edge a couple of weeks ago. Had to open it constantly anyways.

I couldn't get used to Firefox's DevTools and the JSON viewer in Firefox is bad compared to the JSON Formatter chrome extension.

How do you deal with the physical object being sold without anyone caring about the NFT attached to it, and thus not transferring it?

Meta just got a 265 million euro fine because their stuff was too open and people/companies scraped the data of 533 million users.

Best way to stop people from scraping (and getting fines) is to require an account.

Because they save us ~20 thousand a month in bandwidth cost.

>Another decade of researching a cancer cure to cover another different type of cancer? $1400BN in funding these cancer treatments that don't work. Not even radiotherapy can fully cure cancer...

Thats how I read it, sorry. We made tremendous leaps in the past decade with improving automated driving, is it fully automatic? No. Does it mean we should somehow stop funding it? No.

Hyperloop is crap, just go with highspeed trains. They get the job done in city corridors.

But you can't have a train stop in front of your house... Nor can you build massive tubes everywhere in place of cheap roads.

Walking, Bikes, Busses, Metros, Trains, Cars, Planes. They all have a place in how we transport, right now the distribution between them is just out of whack.

So? Okay, we're not there yet with autonomous vehicles, and have spend tons of money on it. But the tech we have now didn't exist a decade ago. Give it another decade.
