It is more secure than anything now is if used over HTTP.

Oldschool HTML isn't active, it doesn't do anything client side.

So the only insecure thing about it is that someone external can see what you were looking at.

So is ASP, PHP, javascript and everything else.

And has nothing to do with HTML.

HTML is not HTTP.

Ignoring the security implications.

There are literally none with basic html.

It's when you started adding shit like Shockwave, javascript and the like, all massive security holes, things got dicey.

Plain old HTML, none what so ever.

After the self inflicted Reddit apocalypse hit, /r/all was suddenly full of shit subs, among which all the "am I ugly" attention whore ones and several Indian ones.

And I have to say, those subs do not give me a particularly positive view of the Indian people.

Unfortunately, this case, in a legal sense, is against his corporation, not him.

It's ruling will likely result in the dissolution of said corporation and the barring of Trump doing business in NYC, just like a similar case did with his charities, from which he stole.

That's the annoying thing with how corporations are handled in the US.

What Trump did in the charity and this case is criminal fraud. But because it was all nicely wrapped in the form of some corporate entity, it's a civil case. That shit is fucked up.

Never had any big issues, as there have always been providers here that stood by having an open network for its subscribers, even in the dialup age.

And because they existed, the major providers don't tend to do that either (at least not anymore).

Most ludicrous thing is that the one time I DID have issues with port blocks (port 21/53/80/443 aka ftp/dns/http/https) was the first time I switched from a domestic line to a business one with one of the largest providers here. They did that as a default unless you called them to unblock everything.

But in the past decade, on fiber, never had an issue, the providers that were first to deliver fiber were new ones that broke from two of the major ISPs respectively owning ALL the coax and ALL the copper in the country, which allowed them to set their own rules.

And their competitive edge wasn't on price, but on giving you a ludicrously fast and stable connection with the only limitation being what the fiber could carry, although now, when the major ISPs are also finally providing fiber, their pricing compared to my own ISP is kinda ludicrous.

My current ISPs advertised philosophy is "security is your responsibility, a stable fast connection ours". And so far, they've held true to that.

Besides that, almost as long, I first rented and now own a box at a datacenter, which among its secondary tasks runs a backup NS and backup MX as I had the box anyway. To this date, the only times that backup had to do anything was when I was moving and when there are announced network maintenance or other works (of which the longest I can remember was 1 hour and only happen 2 times per year).

I get that if I lived in the US, this would not be quite as practical to achieve.

I worked for a US ISP in the early 00's, was looking to provide WIFI in rural Texas areas. Setup the hardware and backend for them. Became quickly apparent from what they were demanding from the backend, that their focus wasn't particularly to bring access to rural areas, but to milk the shit out of providing WIFI to rural areas.

Don't get me wrong tho, I still have several Gmail addresses that are as old as the service itself is. I rather use a gmail address to sign up to sites and have them deal with the subsequent deluge of spam, than to have that shit tax my own system :P

I'm oldschool.

I've had my own domains and mail servers for the past 3 decades and will maintain them for as long as I live.

And these days, all but the storage runs of Pi3, so it's barely using any power either.

While there is meth in Europe, there's nowhere near as much of it anywhere in Europe.

Some countries have a rising meth problem, but it's really nothing compared to the plague it is in the US.

Here's a nice video of a guy training an AI to do a relatively simple task (driving a Trackmania trac) with a very limited amount of inputs with low variability, 2-3 outputs and very hardset restraints.

Compared to what he does, a rather narrow defined re-enforcement training scheme, Microsofts AI takes many more inputs and has many more outputs and all the inputs are highly variable (massive amounts of data like dictionaries, images, movies, entire texts, speech, etc compared to a handful of parameters with values from -1 to 1) and also is a mix between re-enforcement, supervised and unsupervised training. With different subnetworks trained for different things eventually working together to do the master task they have in mind.

What is shown in the video is what you'd do for a tiny subsystem of the AI Microsoft, Google, Apple and the like develop.

Kinda like if you watched a video about "this is what it takes to make the bolt that keeps your wheels on your car" you'd only have seen a fraction of what it takes to make the whole car.

creation of meth

Another thing that barely exists here XD

McConnel doesn't even know where he is anymore half the time. Wouldn't count on him.

Isn't there anyone else, less on deaths door, that could do this?

Microsoft has invested in several fusion projects too.

This medication in most stores crap doesn't exist here.

Hence why stores should deliver unsold goods to food/supply banks instead of tossing it.

The cost was already made, the item gets written of for not being sold, still does some good in the end.

The distinction in the law should be different penalties, not allow one of them.

Between highschool and starting uni, I did a small stint as a cashier.

I called the cops on two people, one was stealing beer, the other some keychain. Both cheap items, but not necessities.

I saw multiple people steal baby formula and diapers and there wasn't a bone in my body that even thought of calling the cops on them.

The first are stealing to steal.

The later are stealing to survive.

Imho the law should make a clear distinction between the two too.

Heavy?

For some measly Macbook or style over substance laptop maybe, but I can't say I've ever had any sort of trouble running it on any of my hardware, laptops included.

Granted, my start in IT 3 decades ago was as a solo admin for a medium sized company after having been a gamer and overclocker for years before that, I know as much about the actual hardware I work with as I do about programming.

And from what I run into in the field, especially these days, the vast majority of developers wouldn't even know how to install an OS or know what hardware is in the system they use, it's pretty much "laptop goes brrrrr" and that's about it. No wonder most devs these days write absolutely horrible code in terms of optimization and resource usage.

History would say, yes he can.

Russia has some areas that are so polluted with radiactive waste, they will probably remain so far beyond mankins history on earth.

Directly dropping nukes on them, who knows, Tsar Bomba had a larger blast radius than they expected and while detonated in a low population area, Russia was never really concerned with making sure it was a no population area.

I take what you mean with "American accent" being the accent they use on US Television in shows and most news?

Because there's a hell of a lot of regional accents in both Britain and the US and various ones in both sounds stupid while others sound sophisticated.

Looking at you Scousers and Southerners.

I have that with management roles.

Before I started working for myself, I would end up being the manager, every goddamn time.

I'm a diagnosed autistic and am best if I just get a target to hit, no matter how elusive and unattainable and I WILL hit that target, even if I have to learn some obscure 1970's COBOL dialect to do so.

But nooo, they keep promoting me to management, because I natural take control of a groups workflow (only because I'm the person that sees the way to the target, when no one else can).

Why not just let me be Senior and team lead instead of always making me a manager!
