I saw this and was interested, but the link sadly only goes to a price chart with no discussion. It would be nice to know why it is dropping, or at least why people think it's dropping.

Why is that a race? IIRC Promise.then is supposed to invoke the callback immediately (or on next loop) if the promise is already resolved.

LLVM currently does not optimize for size, so things like the small-integer push/pop trick aren't goign to happen.

The inability to swipe offensive words when the setting is disabled is a bug. I can't give details, but the fix isn't easy and is being worked on.
Re:Opportunistic Security for HTTP

That's in this spec:
"The server certificate, if one is proffered by the alternative service, is not necessarily checked for validity, expiration, issuance by a trusted certificate authority or matched against the name in the URI."
In other words, the certificate presented is merely used to secure the connection against a passive attacker.

Unfortunately not. IIRC, any classifier with AUC < 0.5 can be improved by just inverting its output. Real classification quality requires being significantly above 0.5 -- 0.8 is a common threshold.
