They can sue you for making this hypothesis publicly, please think of it (in your interest).

Seems not (re-read the guidelines).

If you look at Firefox memory consumption while browsing Twitter, you'll see the main culprit is, like always, DOM operations (repaint/reflow particularly). Solution: use Chrom{e|ium}.

Obvious difference: I expect not to get my HDD corrupted because I visited an arbitrary website, I understand it might be the case if I download AND run an arbitrary program.

Which kind?

This is not that exciting: a malicious XSS or CSRF and PAF! an attacker writes on the user filesystem!

I always think that Scala lacks a good, deep IDE, but this is a handy list. Thanks.

The handling of a <video> is outsourced to the OS.

This, obviously, is out of bounds.

So it's really just a time-limited solution, a temporary chance.

It's OK while it is sensible (after all, you will inform your friends you have published a new blog post or whatever) and not some heavy "please upvote" campaign.

You read my mind for "parity of a set". So Q.E.D.: parity is only applicable to reason about numbers (and infinity is not a number). See also surreal numbers.

Parity is a property of numbers and sets only. Or do you think infinity is a set?

The magic of the cloud! Imagine running that on Heroku (for instance): it would be costly (price) but possible.

A friend of mine opened a company (EURL) in 2 weeks and for about 300 euros. Honest. It'd be twice as expensive in, say, Estonia (I run a business there).

Totally. "If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you first need to recreate the Universe" -- Sagan.

I always thought the purpose of Arc was to be cruft-free, "don't include it unless it is actually needed".
