I'm not familiar with that analysis, its accuracy, or its evidence. I would be surprised by this given it seems like providers are still in the growth phase. Typically the burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

Nintendo is the publisher and co-owner of the franchise. They have outsourced development (e.g. Bandai Namco) or licensed to other developers (e.g. Niantic) in the past, and seemingly could have done so more often.

Is that not sort of exactly the point? People love the concept of pokemon and monster collection, and it hasn't really evolved beyond the same RPG formula in 20 years. Nintendo has utterly failed to deliver different experiences in the

Perhaps they were so successful at getting their clients minimal punishments that they didn't see a need to meaningfully invest in proper IT security compared to the inevitable slap on the wrist.

I just tried the experiment myself and I get very similar results to what the article describes. It's mostly sponsored (4 of the top 10 are sponsored). There is only 1 on the entire first page where I recognize the brand. It's the

That link shows Gabe Newell's estimated net worth, but does he have have 100% ownership of Valve? The Valve Wikipedia page shows his ownership as ">50%" [0], but isn't more specific. [0]: https://en.wikiped

I can't speak to all of them, but the Pixel line absolutely does, and so do some other vendors. At one point Samsung came with both Samsung Browser (chromium based) and Chrome preinstalled, but I'm not sure if that's changed

If anything the mobile browser situation is much worse. On one major platform, there is Chrome by default (so even bigger market share issues). People can install other browsers, but far fewer do than even on desktop. For those that do, mos

I believe his factories are still currently running, so it doesn't appear he changed his mind on the matter.

Fooled me once, and now it's going to take a lot to make me look at anything from this company again. I hope they can actually build what they promised someday.

I agree, this doesn't feel like much of an apology. In addition to the reasons you mentioned, it also only acknowledges a single event, when the original post describes multiple incidents spanning multiple years. Furthermore, there&#x2

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag#Tracking_using_ETags > ETags can be used to track unique users, as HTTP cookies are increasingly being deleted by privacy-aware users. In July 2011, Ashkan Soltan

Have you considered using something other than ETag for your use case? It seems like ETag been compromised by trackers, and unfortunately this is why we can't have nice things.

It looks like the add-on has an option to "Allow referral marketing" which is off by default. If you install this add-on and feel like enabling this, it looks like you can. That said, it still results in some level of tracking and

Perhaps GitHub is taking a cut from the purchase when purchased through their marketplace (20% is reasonably close to other marketplaces). Some services may be building that into the price.

This would be great, but would probably significantly hurt performance. Especially if media queries come into play and we'd have to try different resolutions and ensure they're all the same.

Even that fluctuates frequently. When I worked at a grocery store, when you ordered something it would show you what the item would "cost" the store. This could change from day to day (e.g. fruits, veggies), vary based on quantity

Totally agree. This has been one of the biggest reasons I've been having trouble transitioning to VS Code. I know it's silly, but the design pattern is near ubiquitous in other editors (and other applications) it's really har
