Presumably by calling parseInt('010') which used to detect zero leading strings as octal.


The centre core is significantly strengthened to cope with the additional load from the side boosters. It also has slightly different aerodynamic properties because of the fixed struts that hold the boosters in place. Either of these could have affected the landing. They'll collect data and fix it.


It ran out of fuel. There was enough to relight the centre engine but not the 3 outer engines required to complete the landing.


It didn't actually run out of fuel. It didn't have enough of the hypergolic mix used to ignite the engines (triethylaluminium & triethylborane that causes the green flash sometimes seen at ignition) and only one of the three engines needed for the landing burn re-lit.


Majority of top 1000 websites perhaps, most websites aren't compiled at all, they just link to jQuery on a CDN somewhere.


WordPress powers almost 30% of the others, and could also switch to WASM whenever they feel like it.


Those are additive, they don't affect the semantics of code that was written before they were added. That is what is meant by backwards compatibility here - you never need to change existing code because of new features.


before es6 anything added also did not break existing implementations. eg you could run es5 features in a es4 engine using polyfill and progressive enhancement/degression. maybe its time for ES to add meta and overloading - although with a huge cost of complexity !?

No.


When BTC crashes, so will ETH. Get out entirely.

I can't speak for the quality of their product but this is absolutely not true, Kelkoo has been around since 1999[0], almost as long as Google itself.

From your "source":

> In November 2008, Kelkoo was sold by Yahoo! Inc to the private equity firm Jamplant Ltd.

The current CEO has been there since 2009, shortly after the acquisition.

Jamplant was incorporated in October of 2008, one month before the acquisition. The director was Andrew Simon Davis, who is frequently listed as a director of shell companies and trusts. In the same month he was appointed director to dozens of other companies.

The Kelkoo Group is based out of the same office as Jamplant, along with dozens of other companies, what indicates a virtual office or company registration service.

It has 5 employees, and seems to have consistently lost money over the past years, and its largest shareholder (and only institutional shareholder) is Kelkoo Group itself.

Kelkoo itself was already dead on the water by the time of the acquisition: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=kelkoo

That was shortly after the initial complaints against Google:

That office is 300k sqft of 'flexible office space.'


Not just the same address, but the same floor.


If by "Kelkoo" you mean "a yahoo proxy", then yes

See the "a yahoo company" at the very top of this archived page: https://web.archive.org/web/20050701004143/http://www.kelkoo... (you'll need to collapse the archive.org banner on top - it is hidden behind it by default)


From the wikipedia page:

> On March 26, 2004, Kelkoo was bought by Yahoo! Inc for €450 million.


Um, yes, that is the point i am making. Them being Yahoo is precisely why they have beef with Google.


It's not Yahoo anymore since 2008.


Also means they can't move the object without more bookkeeping


They only need a unique id for the object, they can't hash based on the object contents because those can change and because two objects with exactly the same properties are not equal in JS:

    assert({} === {}); // throws


But couldn't the hash be based on the object pointer or something?


No, because the GC is free to move objects around to compact the heap.


No, for reasons others have said, but they can use the pointer to deal with collisions


Doesn't work because the GC moves objects around in memory


If counterfeit Tether has been used to prop up the market the losses of the comparatively few people who actually hold Tether will be a drop in the ocean compared to the affect on BTC price. The bitcoin price is a function of demand, if Tether tuns out to be a scam, and has been used to artificially inflate that demand, then the price can only go down. There is also the problem that if Tether collapses, there will be a run on all exchanges that accept Tether, particularly Bitfinex, and the resulting panic will send BTC through the floor.
