I don't think that's quite what happened. Google got in anti-trust trouble because they have an unfair advantage in user-tracking, given logged in Chrome accounts. Removing third-party cookies hurts other privacy-invading companie

One of the primary advantages of having a software engineer (or lawyer, for that matter) on staff isn't that they produce software, not exactly. It's that they guide the flow of process, and can adapt the river as needed to keep t

An Ops contributor who saves the company millions in operating costs, however, might be extremely valuable, but may or may not be valued.

I think I know what you're talking about here, but maybe not. Can you elaborate?

It took me until my 40s to really enjoy Mozart. The thing is, if you approach it from the stodgy perspective of a "Classical Music Enthusiast" then it's easy to miss what's delightful about it, but if you aren't t

To be quite frank, as a high-trained musician, I like almost all of Bach's works played slower. You can almost always slow them down more than whatever you think is too slow and find new things to appreciate. Paulstretch to the resc

I've always loved this image set. I have a feeling it's very different in 2025 though; would love to hear what current or very recent employees at these companies think

Yes, we do treat that as a valid signal. But users still shouldn't use it today anyway, since it has no teeth and many companies will use it as part of a composite identifier. If Do Not Track had more regulatory teeth, I think it might

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. The industry made us all believe they do, in what began as a differentiator from offline ads, that quickly spiraled into the current day insanity. Browsers have been playing cat and mouse to a

Is that all? I hadn't thought about that aspect, but I find it a little surprising that, even just considering post-training, it isn't more expensive than that.

I'm currently at a small ad tech firm and while I can't speak for other outfits, we definitely are extra careful about respecting user consent indicators. Because we are small, it's not easy to do this, because there are ma

I don't do front end these days and don't really have a dog in this fight, but most code is nouns and verbs, while design choices are adjectives and adverbs. When the business decides that we need to run, not walk, you can just ch

DNS lookups are still frequently in the clear, and even if they're not, that just means you're trusting some DNS-over-HTTPS provider. The incentives are perverse. And of course whoever you are performing your search with, like, oh

This is the more interesting answer to me because it's a reminder that everyone is playing a different game. I used to play games to win, but now I play games to maximize the collective enjoyment of playing the game. This shift began w

I h8 it when thir teens get all cheeky like that. Hopefully they'll have matured a bit by 21. Edit: it seems people don't like my Fibonacci joke. I thought I had this kind of thing figured out by 34.

Also, as a cousin comment alludes to, for there to be one of the above supernovae, there will also be a supernova named SN2067iamsoverystupidoopssorry and a SN2067thisnamingschemawasabadidea

Not only that, it happened a long long time ago. I'm no astronomer; would that be more or less supernovae?

It's in the article. SN2067aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa vs SN2067aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Apparently astronomers find base26 very straightforward and reasonable!

Oh. Whoops. I thought you were saying the other comment was a huge spoiler, not that YOURS was, and I was like "eh, it's not THAT big of a spoiler." Ah, well. With that mystery abolished, time to return to the likes of Mari

I don't think you're taking their argument in good faith. At least my read on what's being said here is that the psyops lock-in effects that Apple uses are too strong. It's not just "blue bubbles," but "bl

Can someone please tell Apple we are overdue for a nostalgia line? I want an iPhone 3GS form factor so bad. I would even accept the 480x360 resolution. There was no more perfect design than the little "worry stone." I have a 13 mi

One obvious one to consider is the diterpenes in filtered vs unfiltered brewing methods. Filtered methods will remove most of these. Diterpenes will help reduce inflammation and may enhance the flavor of the coffee for some, but the ones in

FWIW, I like playing VR/MR games because they are "sports" that don't require me to drive anywhere or organize anything with other people. To me it's about equal fun as downhill skiing or skating at the roller rink

Have you tried current gen VR? Honestly, the experience of playing VR Ping pong is SO much like the real thing on the Quest 3. Synth riders is also fantastic. But the best experiences don't really fit into the "video game" bo

The thing is, Government already had access to its own data. It just was required to follow the law that was put in place by the voted in Legislature to prevent abusive situations that could arise from limitless unrestricted access without

The unelected bureaucrats should be responsible for upholding the Law and the mandates of their position, not to any individual or party. And the Law is set by Congress, not the Executive. The Law is enforced by the Judiciary, not the Execu

My most painful debugging scenarios with Docker networking (for me) has always been dealing with non-TCP traffic. But still, this seems useful. One thing I don't understand is why this requires an account token? Does this require a net

js doesn't have this particular problem, but it does have both `null` and `undefined`, which will have varying semantically different usages depending on local conventions. For example, some will prefer to use `null` to mean that a val
