Yeah: How is it possible that "she's been unable to work for the better half of the year" is a direct consequence of Dell customer service being bad? If the job isn't important enough to merit buying another laptop to do

Tiny quibble that I wouldn’t normally post but I think illustrates the readability issues here: Should that be “Result set type was expected”, not “list”?

Ex-Chrome engineer here. Chrome doesn’t “collect” this information about you. It optionally syncs it across devices. Take a look at the privacy policy: data like autofill, your browsing history, and your password manager does not get used

Sticking a keyboard on an iPad does not a laptop make. Being limited to mobile app versions of web browsers is itself a big enough quality-of-life downgrade to make the setup much less convenient than a laptop for leisure-time media consump

As a Google employee, you almost never need to store anything on Drive, do you? I'm struggling to think of a "sync my files" workflow where corp Drive would have been the best solution if only there had been a Linux client.

The idea of "funding" is just a rough proxy for what people really want (or don't): more police presence. Garden-variety "defund the police" advocates think that, due to police violence, bias, and so on, the police

The combination of high and very low prices also stuck out to me. I agree it’s interesting, but I personally don’t mind it. It’s not a bad progressive model to have people who aren’t price-sensitive subsidize people who are.

Guessing: it’s an old legal system (not in relative terms, perhaps, but 250 years is a decent chunk of time) and a bunch of the language has stayed pretty similar over time.
