I have a Pixel 4, so far this feature has been near useless. At times it's nice to reach towards my phone and wake up the always-on display to see what notifications are present but that's about it. Song changing, etc feels gimmic

The idea is that by reducing density (and thus community transmission), you flatten the curve and minimize the number of people concurrently infected. This reduces strain on a fixed healthcare resource pool and avoids situations like we saw

What makes you think no one is considering how to address spoofing? It seems likely to me that many of these companies have considered these cases in far more depth than you or I have.

We have some 8x11' print outs in the break room telling you to wash your hands and cover your mouth when coughing and we've been advised to cancel any non-essential travel (even domestically). It's likely additional preparati

This is how my previous company was structured. The technical presales team were also called Application Engineers. They would essentially do quick and dirty implementations and proof of concepts of custom modifications to convince the cust

The article doesn't claim that the content of the groups is indexed or can be read unauthenticated. It states that the group can be joined using the indexed link.

The article calls this a "bug", but I don't see how this can be anything other than working as intended? I generate a link X to do Y on application Z. I post link X on a public website. Crawlers index the public site. When I

Users can install app stores as well. See fdroid and the Amazon App Store.

Android does allow third party app stores though.

This is particularly bad in the food/recipe space. I've wondered if it's for SEO or if it's to stretch the content length of a short recipe and allow more spots for ads.

This is unsurprising given their positioning in the market. Apple sells exclusively premium devices (for the most part). A huge portion of Android's install base is comprised of budget devices whose users are less likely to spend money

Yikes, that's about as bad as a vulnerability gets for a public cloud provider. Checkpoint has been having themselves a month with TikTok, Zoom, and now Azure (even if the actual disclosure happened in 2019).

How so? This is an enterprise play. An integrated, fully featured chat app are table stakes to be considered against the likes of Microsoft Office. This isn't chasing some hot fad.

I actually really liked App Maker. I started a project on it in my Gsuite domain and was able to get a functioning prototype up in an afternoon starting from 0. Then I ran into the biggest limitation that became a total nonstarter - it&#x27

There are a number of reasons not to launch as an external cloud offering. A few: - Reliability (performance and availability) could be below Azure standards - Supply chain maturity - they may have difficulty scaling procurement and deploym

Does Microsoft make any of their own silicon? It feels like Google has been directing their in-house designs on ML/TPUs while Amazon went all in on ARM. It will be interesting to see how those bets pay off.

That's incredible technology - I wasn't aware it was even theoretically possible to obtain such a resolution with data available to civilians. But what are some use cases that would benefit from that level of service? For example

The change was a welcome QoL improvement in my opinion. Typing a new address or copying the URL of the page I'm on covers ~95% of the use cases where I'm accessing the address bar on mobile and the change significantly reduces fri

HN has gone off the deep end in reading conspiratorial motivations behind every UI change and tweak.

Is there any data to back up this claim? Anecdotally I can't think of a single query that I used to click through to an answers site like quora or stack exchange that is now addressed my the knowledge box snippet.

Did you try clicking Search Tools and limiting the date range there instead of in the query string? Always works for me.

This sounds more like a fishing expedition than a typical search warrant. I expect that Google fought or is fighting this request as stated as they have for others in the past. "And if we believe a request is overly broad, we seek to n

I'm sorry, but this is a bad take. Of all the free services available online, YouTube is maybe the single worst example you could pick as far as "offering little actual user value". The fact that any user across some 76 langu

I was under the impression that Google News didn't have ads. At least I can't recall ever seeing ads on the news.google.com site (the Google Feed on Android is another story, that thing is riddled with ads now).

OP was talking about what gets upvoted to the front page of HN, not necessarily what gets written by the source. Try searching "Matt Stoller Facebook" and then "Matt Stoller Google" on HN.
