The Wikipedia article says that it was acquired by Yahoo and turned into Yahoo Mail. You may have confused Google with Yahoo?

Amazon simply is on the same level as eBay now. (No idea about Alibaba.) It’s really sad to see.

But then anyone can reset your account’s password by using the same service?

That only applies if you maximise your windows. I personally never maximise anything. My ultrawide monitor would be too big for that.

Do you really think Google would allow that?

That’s not really a safety net, because not everybody is physically fit to join the military.

> excluding people who […] had reported emails as spam How do you find out whether a user reports you as spam? Wouldn’t that require some sort of feedback from Google, Microsoft, etc?

The WebExtensions API (promise-based) was created by Mozilla. Whereas “Chrome Extensions” (callback-based) was created by Google. These are not compatible with each other despite being very similar. The former uses the browser.* namespace a

Would you seriously give your entire photo library to another third party just to save some time?

I have read that they even go so far and crawl+scrape other shop websites. Of course that is hard to prove because they have plausible deniability.

It’s the first time they are using commodity hardware on mars. I believe the CPU is the same that has been used in a few smartphones. So it’s not a real-time system. https://9to5google.com/2021/04/19/nasa-inge

That does not really address the stated problem. The problem is that you can’t distinguish between a file that exists (where saving would overwrite the file) and a file that doesn’t exist (where saving would create the file).

People won’t respect the boundary if you host the code on github, because it’s just too easy to open issues or pull requests. However, what about just releasing a zip file with the sources and linking it on your downloads page?

The bible wasn’t written in English. What exactly is your point?

I think you are looking for the term 'legal entity' instead of 'legal person'.

An alternative would be to make it similar to the iOS photo gallery permissions: When an app requests permission to all photos the user gets the option to share only a subset of photos with the app. (This subset can be different for each ap

I think you still don’t understand how Punycode works. The Unicode URL is translated by the browser before a request is made.

Are you making a joke about docker containers or am I missing something?

Sorry, I missed the part about the dialog being undismissable. I assumed they were talking about a nag screen. I don’t think a non-dismissable dialog would be legal unless they clearly sold the TV as “Internet connection required”.

The problem with Google is that they force tracking and ads upon you, with little to no options of opting out. You don’t know what background processes are running on an Nvidia Shield, do you?

Couldn’t you just change the date back a few years in that case? Why do you need an accurate date on the TV?

> Android I wouldn’t trust the world’s biggest tracking company not to track me. You’re kind of moving laterally there. (From trusting Smart TV to trusting Google.)

They literally did that already when they came up with QUIC (before it was public). They had private implementations only supported by Google webservers and Chrome.

They wouldn’t have to “track” it scientifically in a database. They would just know implicitly by observing their customers who are right in front of their eyes. (At least pre-covid)

I just want to say thanks for you work! And good job on finding those top level await spec bugs.

It's true though. 99% of the JS ecosystem is a security nightmare (transient dependencies + npm). I love that TypeScript and esbuild both have 0 dependencies. For the first time I can have a build pipeline without transient dependencie
