It's more about forecasts and assurances. If you're financing the network that is currently doing X traffic, but expect it to grow by quite a bit soon, you're going to ask "is this solution going to cover everything?&quo

Chicken and egg, right? If Google declares it not ready for production, then nobody uses it for production apps, so it never gets the kind of testing it needs to really be production ready. If Google declares it out of beta, then people ass

Flutter is very much in beta still for the next couple months at least, so you'd expect that. If I was choosing between RN and Flutter as something to learn, assuming I had no prior experience in either, then Flutter is probably a bett

WW1 trench warfare. Trenches generally had pillboxes which could be described as defensive structures, and the entire trench warfare was about slowly building these defensive structures towards the enemy.

That's what court cases are about, and why we don't declare innocent or guilty before the verdict. The evidence (or lack of) will come up during the court proceedings, you'd expect.

Is there a reason Dart is so badly performing here? And wouldn't that have a big impact on Google's new Flutter project that they're building an OS around? I'd assume Flutter would need to be calling into FFI for each ac

Likely next step: mark only pages that are present in Chrome's preloaded HSTS lists as secure (including their new premium .app domain).

I think the idea would be that Chrome would sooner or later mark non-HSTS sites like .app as 'half secure' or add a special extra greener bar for .app sites. Given Google's track record, I wouldn't really doubt it.

Agree - your life in a 3rd world country with $50 mil is going to be far better than in a 1st world country. I don't think that one was a good argument. The only good argument is that stealing from people is immoral.

I guess I'm not so much speculating as calling on companies like Youtube to hire more protection for their staff. They're really putting themselves out there, and if this is or isn't somehow related to Youtube's business

Consent can be tricky when you create a path of higher and lower resistance. This is especially so for people who try to avoid conflict (teenage girls here especially). They may give consent simply because it's what is expected of them
