Just to point out, but the last time we had a scandal about a plane that kills people, it's safety record was about the same as riding a motorcycle in city transit (AKA, one of the most dangerous things people actually do).

It has absolutely surpassed us in how confidently it makes its mistakes.

What, I have to say, was never a low bar. It's impressive.

It's correlated with the end of US QE and the FED trying to fight inflation. But Trump is now in charge of fighting that growth, not of adding to it.

JS needs to know about styles?

It's about JS trying to detect if the link was visited, not about style. People used to do that to evade cross-site tracking protection, and this is why JS isn't allowed to know that anymore.
