Oh and it also suggests it's OK if your security is compromised as you can just sue someone else to recover your losses. So it's probably not worth bothering investment in security anyway .

That explains why they haven't given me my $10 million I inherited from a rich uncle I knew nothing about!

Enhance the Java Language to extend type inference to declarations of local variables with initializers. And if C# jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?

I think there are any number of ways, some even credible, to measure productivity for developers. I think the trouble arises from the notion that they could be applied outside of a narrow context and also that it’s especially important how productive a developer is. My bugs/hour is less than 1. That's good, right?

Skipper: We'll fix it.

I cannot see those Win 10 ads in my IE 11 on Win 7.
By the way, also the article says so:
Quote: I spent most of the night trying to replicate this behavior -- a blue banner on new tabs in IE11 with "Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 10" -- and couldn't get it to trigger.

“As pages increase in complexity, they often require multiple trips that create delays that really add up,” explains Ravi Netravali, one of the researchers, in a press release. “Our approach minimizes the number of round trips so that we can substantially speed up a page’s load-time.” Yes, please

I worked for a company in 1998 that was working on the same thing. I'm serious.
The company created a server zipper. It was going to fabulously zip up data on server and ship to special people running our web performance pack.
The company went out of bidness.
Also, more recently Amazon's Silk browser does the same thing by "zipping" up common content from common sites on Amazon servers and then Silk has fewer connect, obtain, disconnect overhead.
Also, 35% faster?
This is 2016. I'm looking for like 2000% faster.
EDIT:
Oh wow I found a PC Magazine entry detailing the package:
PC Mag - Google Books[^]
(Blaze Web Performance Pack)
Can't believe it.

HTTP/2 (aka SPDY) should also help, but it needs the browser updated. This is supposedly a "free" speedup.
