It’s irrelevant if they’re a freedom fighter or a terrorist. Extra judicial killings are not justified. I’m not sure if this particular killing was done by India, but either way it’s not great timing.
Google Maps has also become extremely cluttered and filled with ads. I was a heavy user of their biking directions and those became significantly worse with a single update overnight a few years ago. Google Maps is…
I suspect MS is working on some sort of common browser layer for Electron apps on Windows. Their primary reasoning for picking V8 for Edge was that node, electron etc were built on V8. We haven’t seen anything specific…
If not creating documentation is leading to bad PR why doesn’t MS just create the documentation instead? Occam’s razor would suggest it’s because accurate documentation would create worse PR. That’s not reassuring at…
Right and when you accidentally say no to the ones that actually matter? The whole problem with a sea of notifications is that it’s hard to identify what’s important and what’s not. Your suggested solution does nothing…
I dont get this defense of using JS. Ok, maybe a dev is much faster writing JS because they keep stuff in their head better. But I’m assuming they also use third party libs, or functions that other devs in their team…
You’re assuming this was the only location they showed ads. It could have been one of the many components displaying ads. And this specific component might have accounted for a small percentage of those ads. And…
Cant I write whatever code I want and run it on the A chips through MacOS?
These companies negotiate everything, including where the boxes will be located on the shelves, the angles they will be placed at, which competitors will be allowed, the pricing schemes, etc. They will never go “well…
The price per unit in US groceries is ridiculous. You will literally have 3 packages of soda all of the same size listing the price per unit in completely different units. Some in ml, some in oz, some in pts.

This doesn’t seem like a particularly prestigious contest. It seems the people doing the “prank” intended to show that a lot of these contests are not legitimate and just an opportunity for the organizers to make some…
Azure Devops existed well before GitHub was owned by MS under Visual Studio Online moniker. It was intended to be a SAAS version of the on Prem offerings MS has provided since before GitHub even existed.
3rd party tracking cookies are highly limited in the access they have. And they can easily be blocked using readily available 3rd party extensions or by clearing your browser of cookies. This is tracking that’s baked…
This article is a nothingburger. These companies laid off a bunch of people. Some of whom were H1Bs. And they’re hiring a bunch of people. Some of whom are H1Bs. That’s simply a commentary on large companies hiring even…
The difference is that there’s no evidence that he did anything out of the ordinary at Flexport. In the Nokia scenario, however, Elop published a memo which destroyed Nokia’s declining but still substantial business…
Yeah and the timing is also easily explainable. The board could have already had doubts, and when he lost a Shopify contract to Amazon, when arguably Shopify sells itself as the anti-Amazon, that only served to…
Yeah. Rape a kid? Silence and you get moved to a different location where you can continue raping kids and be moved to a further new location. But had consensual sex with a man? Unforgivable. You must resign.
No it doesn’t benefit any deal maker to do this. The media simply doesn’t cover this for obvious reasons. The media is corporate and pro union actions aren’t good for them either.
This is not exactly right. Netscape Navigator was the original browser. Microsoft invested a lot of money to bring IE up to par and exceed Netscape’s capabilities. And once they wiped out Netscape they coasted and used…
Because Firefox exists. And anyone can use Chromium to compete with Chrome fairly rapidly. It’s not the new IE. In my mind it’s worse than the new IE because it achieves similar goals as the IE abuse but without…
Google’s ad network might not have access. But does Google have access? Because there are many ways Google can leverage this data without giving their ad network access. Privacy isn’t just about privacy from ads. There…
Are hundreds of people drying every year due to these gas drills? Ok, then yes. We draw the line based on observed effects. The observed effect is it’s costing the US $1Bn every year and the additional cost will pale in…
Right, so it’s everyone’s responsibility to be completely up to speed with the safety requirements of everything they buy. You bought a toy for your kid that happened to include lead. Too bad. You were IRRESPONSIBLE!…
And they continued to pay their US based employees more (including employees relocating from cheaper locales) because CEOs believed (whether rightly or wrongly is irrelevant) that there was a significant advantage to…
