FWIW, reports are that it does work, probably some bugs or testing didn't make it in time for it to be official. https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/29/21494161/google-chromecas...

This probably depends on how you define soda drinkers. My understanding is studies haven't shown that in general. I've failed a grocery store blind taste test myself. But I didn't prepare in any way. Thats said, I have caught

Your desire to breath is caused by the urge to expel CO2. At sea level you have a large reserve of oxygen. It is a huge gamble that you would or could hold your breath at the opportune moment. With a lack of oxygen in the air, you will quic

I see multiple posts a day related to QAnon conspiracy theories on FB. Much of it is just stupid, but it also includes anti-mask and anti-vax, which I think is very obviously more harmful right now than almost any other political topic. I s

The fact that restrictions are effective or cause rate changes has nothing to do with the seasonal behavior of virus. The fact that restrictions don't cause immediate drops is pretty obvious A) there is time lag and B) no restrictions

> The only thing you can say for sure is that 1/3 of the population that have children also probably have it. No, you can't say that, because this isn't a random sampling.

You are not required to publish source packages, most of the third party repos I use either don't have them or they are surprisingly useless because I don't have the build environment they were executed in.

In "enterprise" software, E2E hasn't meant what it means in modern chat programs. In my world, it just meant encrypted over the wire and at rest, nothing more. We aren't there technologically to have many zero knowledge

My family uses Netflix via Chromecast, so our UI is a phone or tablet app. Search is literally the second button after Home and works fine. One consideration, maybe your TV app is the problem. Personally, this is why I don't use TV app

Yes, this term has been used in the industry for always encrypted on the wire and at rest, but not "never decrypted" over the years. If you think about it for hosted services that provide non-trivial functions for your data, you&#

Not to take away from the story, but the thought that only one person noticed is likely wrong. Only one person understood the problem AND made it through the gauntlet of reporting the issue. Just something that always seems glaring when peo

The former is obvious, no place is LGBT free by fiat. Just more repressive.

It's all tradeoffs, I want some privacy, but I also like crimes being solved. In fact, I'd see that as a benefit even if I'm related to criminals. Of course this assumes it is used correctly and fairly, which is the hard part

Sales tax in the US is generally the most regressive tax we have, so I'd say no. Are you suggesting something different?

A much simpler solution is for aisle folks to help people in their row with bags while waiting. I'm obligated to do so with family, but it works other times too. Try it some time.
