Do you use two-factor authentication? Staying logged in with the same trusted browser/device is a big benefit for security. It makes it a lot easier for companies to spot suspicious login attempts.

They didn't say no cookies. They said no third-party cookies.

I'm surprised at comments in the bug threads suggesting they do nothing. The idea being that fighting this would force governments to fork/change browsers, ultimately being a worse experience for users. Seems like betraying people

Google doesn't embed a decryption key in their URL. AFAIK, they are just long lookup keys that are unguessable. The difference between that and local encryption is if you trust the storage provider. If you were a journalist in China, y

A long URL is essentially an authentication check. It's long/complex enough it can't be guessed, same as an auth token in your cookie. I'm not sure what guarantees they have regarding changing access, deleting images, et

You can do images with javascript. It's slow since you don't have any hardware decryption. Wouldn't be a great mobile experience. You could build a site around limitations but if nothing else, it would eat up battery. There a

It's probably difficult to estimate these benefits. You don't want to come off as making shady (sorry) promises when selling something that expensive.

So let me see if I understand this. I don't believe it's hard to write a probabilistic program to play poker. That's enough to win against humans in 2-player. With one AI and multiple professional human players sitting at a p

First, I think our general uptime metrics are trending upwards. Recovery times tend to be much shorter as well. Big services are bigger, more mission-critical parts can fail. Continuous development culture is designed with failure as part o

I feel like this is a running joke at this point. I've been waiting on this since getting a mbp in 2003. I swear it has been under development the whole time. Or, at worse, blocked by rendering engine updates. People always seem hopefu

How do you mean? I wasn't aware the assistant really did anything with Chrome. Certainly it renders some search results using the android webview. But otherwise, it launches any pages you click in whatever browser you want. Inside of C

On top of people mentioning text, I'll add chat emotes to the discussion. If you use anything like Twitch chat, it's filled with custom emotes you've never seen before. I can read text without each character having an abundan

It greatly saddens me that companies will go to great lengths to geofence content but not annoying popovers. The US or someone needs to get a clause into their next EU trade agreement to make it illegal to serve those outside the EU :)

Of course Google uses it to drive their own ad engagement. Say you want to look up your flight info. Instead of going back to the original email, you have all the info in the assistant. Instead of seeing rental car ads from the airline, you
