So they'll remove their ban on "India: The Modi Question" right?

If you want to sidestep firefox, all firefox descendants would eventually pose the same problem. So I think many options others provided are suboptimal in that regard.

I'm keeping my eyes on ladybird: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird https://ladybird.org/

But it still is in its early stages.

So, a dedicated exploit-button. That's ... convenient?

I think they're relative line numbers (a setting in vim). So they count down to where the cursor is currently at. (and would count upward form there)

So you agree with the rest of my statement then?

That's not at all the same logic. Yes, cars can go way above speed limits. And there are use cases where cars need to have more power (driving uphill for example). But this is about an autopilot specifically programmed/instructed to actually go above speed limits, and going above speed limits is illegal. So the setting in itself is illegal. Having the technical ability to go above speed limits is not. If the driver chooses to use that ability and go above speed limits, it's illegal again. This is not rocket science.

Henley & Partners. Who - in a totally unrelated matter of course - netted almost 56 million euros off of scummy people like Russian oligarchs by helping them get Maltese 'Golden passports', a program ruled illegal by the European Court of Justice in part due to leaked documents from Henley & Partners itself.

How is this even legal? If a toaster manufacturer introduces a setting "kill neighbour's dog" it would get sued into oblivion.

I swear, America's got issues man...
