reCAPTCHA is a rate-limiting measure. Google handles all the heavy-lifting and attacker protection for you, and the slow fade you see in the video is that rate-limiting in action. But if you get a clean CAPTCHA result…
Congratulations, you played yourself. It's not Firefox that's the problem; reCAPTCHA works just fine on Firefox. It's all those anti-tracking measures you installed and enabled -- they work by making your browser…
>> This may sound melodramatic... Yeah. A bit. Thing is, Blink is not Chromium, Chromium is not Chrome, neither of them is Google, and BSD-3-clause is a pretty damn solid bulwark against the monopolization of the…
I dug into the details earlier this year, and it turned out at the time that Microsoft counts some undisclosed but significant percentage of revenue from sales of Office 365 in their "Commercial Cloud" category, even if…
The idea of SMTPing email out from your home ISP turned out to be problematic once spam became a business model. Gmail's not the only place that categorically won't trust it. You need a mail server. You can run it…
Gmail's primary UI is a web browser. How... how do you think that _actually_ might work?
The thing is, in this case we HAVE a solid pictures of every alternative. There's no speculation necessary. We have the "before" and "after" story to point to, and we even have the "alternate universe" story along with…
No, it's functionally equivalent to uninstalling; the only difference is that since the app was installed on a read-only filesystem, the apk can't be deleted. But it's gone as far as the OS cares; it can't be seen or…
I guess it depends on how "experience" is defined. I had 8 years of "experience" programming before my first full-time paid job. I am somewhat entertained every time a see jobs requiring 10+ years of experience with Go…
Sponsored by Morton Salt? I knew it was too good to be true. It seems like every free arts-promoting venture these days is just another opportunity for _Big Salinity_ to push their salty agenda on us! Follow the money!
This is perfect. Now I can translate all my Pascal into Haskell.
Trading on research, no. But attempting to artificially manipulate the market while doing so is effectively "pump-and-dump" but short instead of long. A lot comes down to timing and exactly what the communication says.…
This first of all: never underestimate the nearsightedness and self-importance of a university governance board.

The problem here isn't so much that Amazon is going to hurt Google. Google will survive. But we only hear about this story because Google is who Amazon is attacking (today). The bigger problem is that Amazon has set…
It sounds like the report glossed over a rather important bit of ux: If, when logging in, you see a big modal dialog asking if you want to grant webusb access to the site, then DONT select your yubikey out of the list…
> For instance HTTP 2.0 does not require TLS, but none of the browsers support plain text HTTP 2.0. (So the browsers are ignoring the standard) H2 requires TLS for practical reasons; without it, poorly-written…
You misunderstand what CAs are. Or, indeed, what their certificates imply. CAs don't provide permission, they vouch for an identity. Saying that CAs give you permission to communicate is like saying notaries give you…
No. Next story.
So then it's akamai or limelight, then. Still not a threat. Open standard, opt-in free cdn, independent compatible alternatives; this does not sound like a hostile takeover of your freedom.
There are multiple analytics options supported with amp. It's a well-addressed problem space. But honestly, if you're so far behind the curve that this is even a question, then amp is not for you. You've got a lot of…
A VPN tunnel in the abstract provides the benefits you mentioned, but a VPN service is a slightly different beast. It doesn't solve the problem with your untrusted ISP, it just gives you effectively a different…
The GDPR was specifically sold as limiting the things that well-known US tech companies (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.) can do with respect to EU citizens. The sad irony is that only well-resourced tech companies with…
Encrypt all person-specific data with the a key unique to that person, and if the person requests deletion, delete the key. This effectively deletes all backups.
Can it safely autorotate to the ground in the case of a motor failure?
