Well, Starbucks for example has separate areas for preparing mobile orders so they're not being mixed in with others. My point was that (generally) you have an idea how long you'll be waiting when ordering the traditional way and

With mobile ordering it's hard to tell where you are in the queue or where you will be I guess. In the drive thru, at least you can see how many people are in front of you and they're making orders chronologically.

Not a chance in this administration. Trump pardoned a Navy SEAL war criminal in 2019[0]. > Gallagher was convicted in July of posing with the dead body of a teenage Islamic State captive he had just killed with a hunting knife. He was gr

The engines are open source, no? I don't think we should break websites on purpose but keeping everything backwards compatible does seem untenable for decades to come.

UTF-16 will be quite the mountain as Windows APIs and web specifications/engines default to it for historical reasons.

It doesn't negate the advantage of 2FA. There are so many scenarios that don't involve your entire password manager database being leaked in plaintext. In that case, you likely have much more to worry about considering the attacke

That statement is pointless. Anything in isolation can be "good", just like if someones house burned down you could say that having insurance was "good" but it ignores the bigger picture.

This would be hard to do given sovereign immunity. I highly doubt you'd get them to waive their immunity for an "official act" done by the President. The FTCA does allow for some exceptions but it's pretty narrow.

That would require even more R&D to maybe be useful in a rare situation. Like you mentioned, the vulnerability surface would increase. The last you thing you'd want is a remote control vuln being discovered in your $200M jet duri

The government can't solve for everything at all times. That's why free markets exist and are important. You could have the best most awesome helmet safety regulation get passed on Friday and have it completely blown up by a new

I hope for the same thing, but it's still sad to see the point we've reached where some people actively cheer these actions on or don't treat them with the seriousness they deserve.

This comment was very informative, thanks. It's really disappointing to see a seemingly new wave of people cheering on isolationism/protectionism. Maybe some have valid concerns for certain products that we don't make ourselv

Guardrails won't always hold. The Supreme Court is stacked with Trump appointees. That, and they don't have any real enforcement power anyway.

It's probably to avoid mass flagging of anything mentioning "Trump" Some don't like their dear leader being shown in a negative light here.

The "magic cue" sounds like Windows CoPilot but isn't getting the same backlash for some reason. Why would I want AI tightly woven into everything I'm doing on my phone? Seems like a privacy nightmare.

Ah, okay. I guess that's another one I'll add to the list of hostile actions towards the web then. I completely understand the security and maintenance burdens that they're bringing up but breaking sites would be unacceptable

This proposal seems to be aimed at removing native support in favor of a WASM-based polyfill (like PDF.js, I guess) which seems reasonable? Google definitely throws its weight around too much w.r.t. to web standards, but this doesn't

These tariff powers are given for emergency use only under the IEEPA, so you're being disingenuous IMO. I don't think most reasonable people would see what's going on with Trump cooking up a "national emergency" ove

You're aware that he served a first term where you could've looked at his track record with deficit spending, correct? Before COVID, while the economy was doing good, Trump was still spending government money like crazy. See: htt
