This means that if Firefox will add support for a new standard/feature starting tomorrow, if that standard/feature carries out communications between the browser and an external server, those communications must be carried out via HTTPS or the standard/feature will not work in Firefox. I'm sure that will help their popularity with the kids

"$260 billion ‘cryptocalypse’ as cryptos plunge 30 per cent amid fresh China, South Korea fears" news.com.au Jan 17: [^]Quote: THE cryptocurrency market has lost $US206 billion overnight in what traders are describing as a “cryptocalypse”, with bitcoin heading back towards its $US10,000 milestone first reached last November.
But it was smaller currencies including ripple, ethereum and bitcoin cash that were the hardest hit in the latest sell-off, which was sparked by fresh fears of a crackdown on virtual currencies by governments in South Korea and China.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

Well... $12k for a single bitcoin?? Who wouldn't think that was grossly inflated? 
There has to be crashes at some point, and I'm thinking much greater than the 30% as of recent is way overdue.
What's hot today will be forgotten tomorrow...

Why do the world’s smartest and busiest people find one hour a day for deliberate learning (the 5-hour rule), while others make excuses about how busy they are? "Call me irresponsible. Call me unreliable. Throw in undependable, too."

Wankers, the lot of them.

I don't make an excuse. I deliberately spend most of my spare time when I got home playing and having the best quality time I can offer with my child.
It might be easier for me, since I mostly have to learn new stuff every time I start a new project and I usually do it in work hours.

Yup. This is my life as well. When learning new technology, the time spent learning is more likely 50 hours each week.
Not that this is a bad thing.

Bill just wants you to try keeping up with the latest and greatest acronyms out of MS. 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I think Google has stopped indexing the older parts of the Web. I think I can prove it. Google’s competition is doing better. So it's not where you can't remember anything without Googling it?

There have been more than a few proposals for eliminating space junk, such as grabbing it, gobbling it and blasting it from Earth. Why is there space junk with orbital lasers?!
Does Dr. Evil know about this?
|
|

The question is... will it be possible to redirect this orbital lasers towards earth?

More recent thought on how to reach consensus among members of diverse teams for the best outcome has been to use text rather than face-to-face communication, but new research from the University of Michigan shows it's not that simple.

General consensus actually works quickest and best if the highest ranking person in the group threatens to have everyone else fired if they don't see things his/her way. Did they even try that method or did they stick with the whole fantasyland democratic approach?

Didn't your mother ever warn you not to cache cold?
Or something similar
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's an interesting idea. Never did I cache a cold, just sometimes larger objects which are costly to instantiate. What are the advantages of caching a cold? Could there be concurrency issues with a shared cold? And if so, how to handle them?
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

- All colds are shared objects
- They are most easily shared by installing RHINOS - Really High Intensity Nasal Operating System
- Unfortunately, all versions of RHINOS are extremely susceptible to viruses

Microsoft is aware of a new publicly disclosed class of vulnerabilities, called “speculative execution side-channel attacks,” that affect many operating systems and modern processors, including processors from Intel, AMD, and ARM. On the MSVC team, we’ve reviewed information in detail and conducted extensive tests, which showed the performance impact of the new /Qspectre switch to be negligible. There's always room for one more switch on the msvc command-line

Hmmmmm,
Ostendo primo conditionem hominum extra societatem civilem, quam conditionem appellare liceat statum naturea, aliam non esse quam bellum omnium contra omnes; atque in eo bello jus esse omnibus in omnia.
The next generation exploit shellcode will probably iterate through the current process and WriteProcessMemory all lfence instructions with NOP and proceed to scan for the ntoskrnl.exe entrypoint via the spectre technique. Business as usual... Then in a few months the next MSVC 'chess-move' will be an additional sandbox API...
The modern approach to security mitigations can be described as a game of Whac-A-Mole[^].
We need a new generation of processors... with a dedicated OOB management SoC[^] tasked with 'verified execution flow' on the other main cores.
You could also add DRM, Forced OOB Emergency Updates and a myriad of other management tasks on the SoC.
