As a general mitigation for Google spying attempts, I'd encourage Google employees to switch to Firefox. Also, why is this flagged?

Seeing this be published on Science Magazine is interesting by itself. Its like IBM and Google at a high level work on different problems. IBM is focused on research and public discussion of the problem space. Google on the other hand is fo

I have both MBP and Surface Laptop 2. I personally like the Suface much better. And most importantly the entire Office stack on Windows is superior to anything on Mac or Google things. The keyboard on Surface Laptop is also superior, and I

Agreed, that's why what Google did by pulling out of China was so courageous back then. They'd probably be by far the most profitable and lucrative company now otherwise.

Have not dealt too much with COBOL but learnt it a while ago. It was one of the easier languages to comprehend quickly. I thought it was well suited for input and data processing focused applications. I do remember thinking it's odd th

Telemetry seems like a big issue when its comes to security, and it's good to be explicitly called out in such evaluations.

They provide arguments and data points why Firefox is the most secure browser. This is not silly, but allows to have a good discussion. Care sharing other evaluation results from reputable sources?

Yeah, I agree funny how much better Visual Basic and Windows 95 contorls were even in this regards. I believe pretty much any UI experience was better as the "modern" one. I shouldn't have to wonder what control I can interac

The way I always understood it is that 10000 hours of focused and deliberate practice and work gets you there. I never interpreted it as: just do something for 10000 hours and you'll be a master at it.

It is a tool to have a discussion, not a solution to risk management. Security is one of the few fields that uses qualitative measurements, and any attempt of applying more quantitative techniques faces a lot of resistance. CVSS in isolatio

Doesnt that highlight that the problems is not CVSS, but a better quantitative measurement is needed? What other system is there that would let the 3 people agree on something? Security people seem to be the only once that use qualitative m

It's probably a good thing long term. Tech savvy folks will leave Chrome behind like we did with IE. It will encourage alternatives and the web and browsers might get exciting again!
