Google’s core business is ad targeting, the cornerstone of which is personal data used to target better. While it is (hopefully) untrue that they literally sell your data, they do profit from it indirectly (and massively, it’s 85% of reven

Drone is fantastic, but I am really looking forward to Github Actions which Is similar, and so accessible it is all but sure to take hold.

I use the Notes app in iOS/OSX which has been getting insanely powerful in the last few years. Not only does it sync notes across devices, but indexes them for spotlight search anywhere. It also transcribes handwritten notes and makes

One solution is to set up two separate wireless networks with separate VLANs where one uses the pihole for DNS and the other does not. Clients can temporarily switch to the ads network at will. It might not be possible unless you have a dec

A big part of the savings would come from reducing the operational overhead of managing instances. Serverless is turnkey and doesn’t require any ops personnel, or skills. Even k8s requires a lot of TLC to get proper scaling and do upgrades

Is it? Frankly, “syncing” your phone to a computer isn’t really a thing anymore with the advent of cloud storage and streaming music. USB-A is probably cheaper and more universal as a wall-charging, or car charging standard right now.

Show me the statistics on fatalities per capita per mile traveled on scooters, vs in cars and I'll start taking the anecdotes a little more seriously. (I think I know how those stats will look). I don't for one second believe that

I suspect these are the first logical steps in doing just that.

Lately I prefer to shop at Best Buy over amazon. I have a couple nearby, so picking something up at the store is more amenable to impulse and instant gratification. It’s also fun to take a lap around a play with some stuff. Besides that, th

Yes, they are likely tracking users in incognito mode. You're still loading google analytics or doubleclick resources on many, many sites. Merely making that request (or any request to a google property) gives them your IP which is sta

People who feel that they have “nothing to hide” don’t quite understand the extent to which they’re being mined for personal data. Google offers all of this amazingly polished software for free so naive people like you will feed them your b

40MM doesn’t sound like a huge deal for Google but I still cannot fathom why they would purchase this. I’d rather have a pimple on my forehead than a fossil smartwatch on my wrist. An appropriate name for Google’s smartwatch line would be “

Yes, it's insane how media and commenters have latched onto the $29 battery upgrade as if it is the headline of the press release.

Hmm fair point that every “pro” is different, but this hardware is about 6x more powerful and 3x more expensive than necessary for the tasks you mentioned. Pro is short for professional. The author is a professional writer who has gripes wi

I’ve been thinking about picking one up after reading 6 or 7 rave reviews. It would be my first iPad. I’ve used them plenty, and owned Macs and iPhones for years. This article/review was the one I have been looking for— The only one to

You are 100% right. As a biker I would prefer to be on the sidewalk. It's safer and less scary. As a pedestrian, I prefer bikers stay off the sidewalk. It's safer and less scary. But when you consider the big picture, I think it&#

I’ve recently visited Santa Cruz, where I rode my first jump bike. I had an absolute blast with it, raved about it to friends non-stop for weeks. More recently, I experienced my first Bird scooter (and Lime) in Indianapolis. I did many fun

Good perspective. In my experience an engineering manager must be flexible. An engineering manager can really help the team excel by building productivity tools, prototyping new concepts documenting, or even fixing small bugs. With that, a

I can't tell if we're thinking the same thing (unfamiliar with LinkedIn's model), but I thought maybe over time some users would emerge as domain experts, and this could be made apparent through some review/karma system.

This is fascinating. I read that MASCOT has a non-rechargeable battery that lasts only 16 hours. Why is that? Also, how do they test this hopping on earth?

If you protect your private keys properly (and therefore actually own your bitcoin) it is not feasible for someone to steal it. At least it through a hack. The hacks you hear about are about stealing an exchange’s private keys which are are

I loved reading this. Bitcoin is truly something worth more than the sum of its parts. I don't feel that the creative combination and implementation of existing ideas diminishes the achievement one bit. (Not that the article made it ou
