   While I agree that that's the case for the promises in many such tutorials, I think this article explicitly shows that that isn't inherent to the thing that FP is about. Your quote is specifically about the code formatted in such

   I wouldn't count the Privacy Sandbox doublespeak as "telling you". Brave is not my browser, but it seems completely unjustified to just put them on the same (or even lower) level as Chrome.

   AFAIK in Firefox you should stay logged in in that case. It's just that if you then visit someothersite.com and that has a Facebook widget embedded, that you'll appear logged out of Facebook there.

    In terms of growth strategy, all Signal has to do is wait; bad press for the competitors arrives all the time. So it seems right that she's focused on funding more than user growth.

    I don't think the concern was necessarily about overhead, but about sensitive data. This is a problem in Git too: people make the mistake of reverting a commit with sensitive values and think it's gone, but the history is still ou

    Tony's Chocolonely is an interesting brand, because its origin lies in a Dutch TV show investigating consumer goods. At some point, the presenter ("Tony" [1]) decided to sue himself for buying slave chocolate, and then decide

    It's fairly hard to do, but the ones that make an effort will generally at least have the Fair Trade logo. (UTZ is an weak industry-initiated alternative that does not cut it, as I understand it.)

    I'd also be surprised if that browser name is "Chromium", given that Google Chrome doesn't brand itself as such. (And vice versa.)

    Keep in mind that when the industry says "relevant ads", it means "more able to influence your actions". If it results in you buying a T-shirt, it might have been more relevant to you than an ad for something you didn&#x

    Another implication is that you're dependent on it remaining cheap enough. You risk VC money running out and them having to jack up prices, or them doing so because they managed to capture the whole market.

    Yeah, I know there's people who are able to make it work, but not me, in general. I can get a fairly similar experience on the org chat, though, and sometimes at the start or ends of meetings. And just meeting up in real life every now

    I think they meant "forced" as in "artificial" (as in: "hey, let's start a video call to pretend we're at the watercooler"), rather than "mandated by management".
