I assume they're talking about setting a default zoom for unvisited websites, instead of having to set it manually for every visited website.

You're misreading the privacy policy. Google's privacy policy has two modes, one for sync on, and one for sync off. Logging into Chrome does not turn sync on, so you can be logged into Chrome and still covered by the "basic&q

SRWare Iron is a scam: http://www.insanitybit.com/2012/06/23/srware-iron-browser-a-... Basically any other privacy-oriented Chromium fork would be better. Iridium seems nice?

To be fair, advertisers are significantly less likely to complain about price discrimination than end users.

Wow, the Wii U is one? No wonder I had a bunch of Wii U users reporting my site stopped working when I started forcing HTTPS. "Minority of a minority", maybe, but I still got around five tweets about it when it happened; more than

In the US and many other countries (I can confirm this is true for Japan), pharmacies are also convenience stores, and sell many other things besides drugs. https://www.cvs.com/ For instance, here's a US pharmacy chain

It's plenty correct mathematically; the linked article even explains this. Generally, your viewpoint comes from an incorrect understanding of mathematics, so let's explore what math actually is: When we say "10 / 2 = 5&q

The phrasing is relatively clear to me as saying that some languages say 3/2 = 1.5 (e.g. JavaScript) and some languages say 3/2 = 1 (e.g. C).

You can't make such a strong claim as "all languages are equally complex" with zero evidence, especially if you're replying to a comment that gives plenty of evidence that Chinese is harder. I will grant that Chinese is

The answer is no, English is easier to learn for Chinese-speakers than Chinese is for English speakers. Chinese and Japanese are objectively much harder, because of how kanji/hanzi work. http://www.latimes.com/world&#x2

I would agree that English is more redundant than Japanese. Knowing both, a mispronunciation is a much bigger deal in Japanese than in English. Japanese has significant vowel length, which English doesn't. In Japanese, "un" m

Nice try, but you actually do need to work up from nothing. > Day one: if A saw 13 or 14 they would know it was 20, so when A passes, that signals to B that A is between 10 and 12. Your problem here is that if A saw 13, they would conclu

I'd assume it depends a lot on what you're searching for, and also what mode of transportation you're using. If you search for something like "McDonalds", you care about which McDonalds is easiest to get to, and you

Hm, one of the tweets mentions a "3 year contract". A contract means two parties agree to something, with penalties if they don't do what they agree to, right? Couldn't they sue Smyte/Twitter or something?

Waymo showed off their tech for driving in snow/rain in Google IO this year. They've also done a lot of their testing in the SF Bay Area, which is a pretty difficult urban area to drive in. They're obviously launching in Phoe
