At this point, the only browser that could ignore FLoC without being blocked by website is Safari. If Safari chooses not to implement FLoC, it might be sufficient to prevent web developers from blocking other non-FLoC browsers. All of this

It's a pretty disingenuous way to blame Microsoft. Afterall, there are two ways that Windows 10 on Mac M1 could have occurred: Microsoft could relax the licensing so that end users could buy/install Windows 10 onto the Mac M1, or

Google created a popular free RSS reader, stopped innovating it, and then declared to the whole world that usage of Reader (and by extension, RSS) had decreased so much that it isn't worth it for Google to keep on life support. It didn

> A software product could even "seek permission" from the vendor -- via the Internet or your modem -- each time it ran, so that the vendor would know whenever you started the program. Now it is the norm.

Each travelling ship leaves behind a tail that's much longer than what I would expect if it was meant to represent the wake. Does anyone know the significance of the tail?

In reality, there is no impediment to designating Google as a public utility other than the elected representatives making it so.

Right. Perhaps Google wants to renegotiate their contract with the OEMs and buying out Neverware weakens the bargaining position of the OEMs?

My guess is that the existance of Neverware Chrome OS prevents Google from making certain changes to Chrome OS, and that buying out Neverware eliminates that obstacle.

It wasn't my intention to imply that we need preemptive government intervention. Rather, I just want point out that, for smartphones, we are well into maturity stage of the industry life cycle, which means it is hard for new companies

The current state of having alternative options in a market could not be counted on. Think back about a decade ago when there were a number Smartphone platforms. They were backed by (back then) industry heavy weights such as Palm, RIM, and

For computer hackers, we have clear laws citing unlawful access to computer systems. Plus, computer hackers don't tend to consult with lawyers before doing their thing. For traders, we don't have all-encompassing laws covering tax

Awesome! This looks pretty on a slide deck and is an absolute nightmire to use.

If someone could mockup a modern card-style design for excel incorporating the above, I think people will really get the inefficency of web sites today.

Facebook's complaint about user privacy is really a red herring. I am sure that someone is worried about negative stories written based on the data collected and tasked another person to shut it down in a way that makes the researchers

Yes, because mortgage rate is essentally set by supply of funds buying mortgage bonds and demand of people getting mortgages. The Central Bank could just buy the mortgage bonds by putting the mortgage on the asset side of the book and issui

The central bank won't let housing prices go down significantly, so rate will not increase rate back above 4% for a while.

Thanks for linking to the article. For me, what's refreshing about Lotus Agenda is the ability to create views of your own data, something you don't see today unless you are using enterprise cloud services.

Antitrust oversight of Google, similiar to what was done to Microsoft in the 2000s, will do more than spinning off any properties from Google. Google is able to invest in and made Chrome popular using cash from their advertising business, a

This is feature brought back from the past. Back a decade ago, I had reflow mode on my Pocket PC and I used it to read PDF during my commute.

It makes sense as "A windows subsystem for Linux". Unfortunately, dropping the "A" makes it ambigious.

Or alternatively, hide the popup prompt from showing up at the first place as I found myself clicking "Consent". That tends to be a quicker path to getting things done than figuring out whatever wordings the designer came up with

To make it even better for customers, Youtube could break the different types of content from the recommendation engines, instead of blending everything together under one list in a way that resembles a slot machine.

That would be hard as both the HKSAR passport and the BN(O) passport do not have visa-free travels to the US.

When I saw this title, I thought they brought Google Desktop, a utility that searches local files back from the dead.

I just checked and they still have that feature under News Feed (...) -> Most recent, which appends "?sk=h_chr" behind the FB domain. Now it would be awesome if FB lets me filter my news Excel Data Filter style.

This reminds me of a browser based computing environment demo (I believe it was WebOS or MyWebTop) in the late 1990s. We have indeed come a long way in the last 20 years.

Plain text is great when I am on my laptop, but not as well as soon as I want to, for example, check or update my todo list on OneDrive/Google Drive on my phone or on my work computer. I have found myself moving back into proprietary f
