   Private data is a toxic asset. Businesses should learn to purge it regularly to minimize such damages.

   Is there a newspaper free of political opinions? I want to what's going on in the world in terms of politics, sports, science and society. It is a bit tiring to be reminded again and again why certain politician is a nazi or a certain

   Any good play that works well with Google Drive as storage? I tried a few but none seems to work well with music files Google Drive. I would prefer if they maintain some cache as well. If I can't find one, I might just write one over t

   An average user doesn't called it Pixel, Nexus, whatever. For them, it is the Google phone. Only geeks care about such nuances.

    So Pixel 5 came after 6P. Google's naming remains confusing.

    I wrote a link checker[1] to detect outbound links and mark dead links, so that, I can replace them manually with archive.org links. 1 - https://github.com/ashishb/outbound-link-checker

    Google can't even keep a consistent naming for phones at this point. iPhone ------ iPhone iPhone 3G -> iPhone 3GS iPhone 4 -> iPhone 4S iPhone 5 -> iPhone 5S iPhone 6 -> iPhone 6S (and plus sizes) iPhone 7 (and plus sizes)

    Some people hate CNN. Some hate Fox News. Neither website can be removed from the Internet. Of course, both set of individuals can petition Facebook to ban those links.

    We need to think federation here. Some websites have more racist content. Some have more porn. We can choose to visit a website which sorry suits our sensibilities. That's not the case with a social network. They have to apply one set

    What if we had a smart failover. Use GitHub and GitLab simultaneously. All issues, all comments, all PRs duplicated. If one goes down you use the other one in the time being with no interference at all. One can probably then build a fronten

    I want to know this too. Another example is Google search. If you search, click on a search result and then go back then a panel slowly appears below that link. So if you are going to click the next link, it interferes with that.

    I wrote a tool to snooze my emails (like newsletters and payment reminders) automatically. Regarding emails from others, I snooze them manually if I am not going to address them in an hour or so.

    Google Play store has a 25$ one-time fee. Much more affordable IMHO than 99$ annual fee. If I am being charged a 99$ fee, I simply can't share my creation without finding a way to make money off of my users. That isn't easy. Futur

    Bazel is definitely superior if you can switch to it. If the rest of the teams are using their myriad different tools then it takes time and resources to migrate to Bazel.

    The 99$ annual fee is ridiculous. Big companies don't talk about it because it is a regressive tax. It hurts hobbyist more than anyone else.
