If my phone is going to be locked down anyway, I'm choosing the platform that at least pairs with my AirPods properly and doesn't get me weird looks at social events. Google is really stretching their goodwill with this one. The a

Oh, yeah I forgot, who needs a dumpster when you can just bury your fiberglass in the ground. Of course.

Text is simply not information dense enough to be able to decode some arbitrary signal of provenance from it. Sure you might be able to detect today's tells (particular sentence structures preferred by Claude, phrases, etc) to get you

Why should it be illegal for me to recognize the way you walk into my store, even though you're wearing a mask and a trenchcoat? Some vague sense of indignation? Yeah, tracking bad, I get it, but are whatever damages that kind of legis

It's kind of insane to me that effort was put into all these fuzzy make-your-site-randomly-not-work heuristics and at the end of the day it still pops open the permission dialog anyway. It's like the worst of both worlds

Uughh why do we need this whole new html element and not simply make the getUserMedia API allowed to be called more than once if the initiator is a user click?

So what is the resolution supposed to be? Randomize the results whenever a user searches for a vague product category that is also something that Google provides? The article is pretty light on detail about what "favoring their own ser

This, just like blanking out a football stream for a split second to binary search and find IPTV rebroadcasters, is far too good a solution. Suits prefer to make it seem like their job of fighting "misuse" is hard, justify their b

Fraud? Anthropic sells some undisclosed and ever-changing number of tokens for $200, the customer uses those tokens. If there's any fraud here, it's that the $200 next month is silently worth fewer tokens than the last.

Yeah I really don't understand the anti-GET-body argument. "Using GET with a body isn't in the spec, WAFs and webservers that haven't been updated might reject it!" Ok, QUERY wasn't in the spec when those were

> All I’m really getting from this is that I should avoid animations Wouldn't be the worst takeaway from the article. You should avoid animation for animation's sake in general. Imagine if we animated letters flying up from you

The author's example of a conventional commit is not correct anyway IMO, which is maybe why they think the "fix" part is redundant: > fix: prevent foo from bar'ing The whole idea of conventional commit is: > fix: [
