  • It wasn't even called JavaScript originally, it was called Mocha. It was then renamed to LiveScript before its original release. Then, Netscape wanted a licensing agreement with Sun to integrate Java into Navigator, and part of the agreement was to rename LiveScript to JavaScript with Sun holding the trademark for JavaScript. They also talked a lot about using JS to modify the properties and behaviors of Java applets in the 1995 press release, but that never really happened.

  • If you actually knew how to program both Java and JavaScript (originally called Mocha btw), you would know that they are very different languages. Saying that JS was intended to have a similar syntax to Java is like saying Java was intended to have a similar syntax to C. They're both true, but it doesn't really mean anything.

  • I mainly separate her and the work she's connected to now because she has so much money that I feel it doesn't really matter if she gets more from the franchise anymore. She's a multibillionaire. She can keep contributing to whatever hate funds she wants to and still end up with more money at the end of the year because of her investments.

  • HDMI isn't necessary for HDCP though. HDCP also works over DisplayPort and even DVI.

    Edit: The HDMI article on Wikipedia that you linked even says:

    The HDMI founders began development on HDMI 1.0 on April 16, 2002, with the goal of creating an AV connector that was backward-compatible with DVI. At the time, DVI-HDCP (DVI with HDCP) and DVI-HDTV (DVI-HDCP using the CEA-861-B video standard) were being used on HDTVs. HDMI 1.0 was designed to improve on DVI-HDTV by using a smaller connector and adding audio capability and enhanced Y′CBCR capability and consumer electronics control functions.

  • I wasn't arguing against public transit. I either bike or use buses or the subway when I can. In cases where I'm going somewhere that has poor or no service by public transit, I need to use an Uber or now Waymo. I've been in both and the Waymo feels much safer than the vast majority of Uber drivers.
