> The definition of white entirety depends on the day, and who you ask. Slavs, Irish, Italians, Greeks, were not "white" until very recently.

Indeed, in some parts of Russia, white supremacists do not consider Caucasians to be white. It really does depend on who and when you ask.

Arguably, it can make it less secure by reducing the user's control over what content the browser loads or what scripts it executes. For example, users may be using extensions to selectively replace harmful content (like intrusive JavaScript, tracking) with benign content. It is a balance between security for the user and security for the website owner.

> It is a balance between security for the user and security for the website owner.

Which in the case of browsers should always be decided for the user, rather than balanced. The browser is a user agent. It is running on the user's hardware.

Exactly. It's been clearly established that web extensions' code is more priveleged than a page code, as it should be. The amount of people going 'muh sesoority' in this thread is baffling.

> Domino's doesn't have to ask twice. They're choosing to.

According to the article, the French agency believes they would have to ask twice:

> Third-party publishers "cannot rely on the ATT framework to comply with their legal obligations," so they "must continue to use their own consent collection solution," the French agency said.

I always thought it was because where you to deny in the Apple popup, that decision is “final”, whereas if they can gauge your mood before that, they can keep pestering you about it in the future.

I’ve seen confirm (app) -> confirm (Apple), but never deny (app) -> deny (Apple).

> that lets any user swap out your version for their version, which basically means you're only allowed to dynamically link it as a shared library

I had thought that the dynamic linking requirement was the only option according to the licence, but apparently not. According to 6.a. of v2 and 4.d.0. of v3 of the LGPL, it would be enough to give the user access to the source/object code of the main application and the compilation scripts under non-open-source terms, so that they can recompile and statically link it against their own version of the library.

Tax water for agricultural usage enough to fund desalination plants for their water use. The market participants should then adapt by switching to less water-intensive crops, or paying the tax and getting the desalination plants.

pretty sure there is no salt water in the central valley either.

> tax water for agricultural use

Yeah good luck with this one

2^0 is a power of two and has all odd digits.

Edit: If we include negative powers, there is also 2^-1, which is all odd except for the leading zero before the decimal point.

> And a country like Morocco has an average IQ of around 67. Average!

I don't think that this claim is credible. It comes from Lynn & Becker, who also have Nepal's average IQ at 43,[1] which is in the range where someone with that IQ would be considered mentally disabled, with limited capacity for independent life. That cannot be reconciled with the employment rate in Nepal. And according to Lynn & Becker, the average person from Nepal, Liberia and Sierra Leone has an IQ that puts them in that category.

The truth is that no study that would generate these numbers plausibly has ever been conducted. There is no country-by-country, apples-to-apples international IQ test database. IQ tests are a diagnostic measure, so if you're going out into the field looking for lots of test results, you're either drafting off large-scale psychometrics work done in and by wealthy countries, or you're pulling from mental and developmental health institutions where tests were administered to diagnose patients.

That's exactly what Lynn did: he has "good" IQ data generated for-purpose by the research communities in developed countries, and just uses IQ data from, essentially, mental health institutions elsewhere. He presents these data sets as apples-apples equivalent.

It gets worse: for what should be obvious reasons, there are lots of countries where it isn't easy to get any such data. Lynn doesn't try; instead, his team takes data from neighboring countries and extrapolates.

Thanks for clarifying that; I didn’t check my sources. For comparison, 81-85 IQ points is where the US disqualifies you four being unable to follow basic training. And 75 IQ points considers you mentally retarded. So for a country average to be way below the retard limit is unlikely.

> privacy-unfriendly moves

Which is a UX issue, not a Web standards issue. None of the major forks were made due to a difference opinion about how the standards should be implemented, so they are all dependent on Mozilla to implement the standards.

I suppose, but I wouldn't try to predict the response to Firefox becoming unmaintained and interested parties who might step up to carry the torch before it actually happens. It's the primary browser of the largest three commercial Linux distros.

> What else would you like to see? A legal analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the case?

Exactly.

What are the facts of the case according to the plaintiff? What are the points of law being relied on?

Does the IA dispute the plaintiff's version of the facts and the interpretation of the law? If so, what points are they disputing?

If there have been similar cases, how did those cases go, and how were they different to this case?

This is how Internet Explorer (via Windows), Chrome (via Google Search and YouTube) and Safari (via iOS) gained significant market share. Through another platform or service that they owned, that they could use to promote their browser.

But large Web properties do not gain anything by promoting Firefox. Many are ad-supported, so getting rid of uBlock Origin is a good thing for them. Only having to test on Google Chrome (and maybe Safari) is cheaper for them. There has to be something in it for them to promote Firefox or an alternative browser.
