Is Sushi ‘Healthy’? What About Granola? Where Americans and Nutritionists Disagree.

Browsers’ bid for relevance is turning them into time-bombs.

The W3C’s strategy for “saving the web” from the corporate-controlled silos of apps is to replicate the systems of control that make apps off-limits to innovation and disruption. It’s a poor trade-off, one that sets a time-bomb ticking in the web's foundations, making the lives of monopolists easier, and the lives of security researchers and entrepreneurs much, much more perilous.

Der Hass im Netz.

»Warum bekommt ein Rassist und Sexist so viel Raum? Weil Patrick Zürcher etwas offenlegt, womit sich alle, die Rassismus und Sexismus begegnen wollen, auseinandersetzen müssen. Zürcher ist intelligent und hat einen guten Job. Er riskiert auch einiges, um zwei Journalisten zu erklären, ›wie Rechte denken‹. Vermutlich denken viele Leute wie er. Das ist unheimlich.«

HTML5 <details> in GitHub.

(Haha, it works here, in the link summary on the left – and I don’t know, why… looks like a bug.) 😊

While I was writing this post, I received 29 junk emails.

The new internet domains are a wasteland.
