It's always the race for more and more telemetry that seems to justify an increase in general data collection. Can't we just accept a certain level of blindness/primitiveness? More specifically I wonder, how has the addition

We're gonna need a lot of quality abstractions between now and then and pray we don't end in feature-flag fragmentation hell where those applications end up with specific, non-cross-platform requirements.

At the end of the day, Google probably doesn't differentiate the two very much as they're both costs of doing business. I would expect Google to work in its interest to reduce these impositions (taxes, laws+fines, etc) where they

If something like this becomes popular, one might expect sites concerned about non-human verification to add a captcha to their verification page before the account is considered verified.

To be fair, I would assume/hope the implementation is gmail specific and just truncs the + part only when doing uniqueness validation. Granted its effectiveness is small.

Color me naive, but I'm always confused why those troubled by the lobbying criticize the influencers instead of the influenced. The influenced aren't some innocent party here. Surely it is more reasonable to act in the best intere

I understand the traffic analysis part. I'm talking about individual MITM (e.g. an ISP) or tracking DNS operators. Can my ISP tell the endpoint I'm connecting to? With Tor, my source and destination are anonymized and that provide

I have an idea for Reddit if they want to make money: I know your site is open source, but it is not an easy setup. The mixture between forum, customizable subreddits, and almost chat-like threading is tailor made for intra-company communic

One wonders if, given a proper abstraction, some closed source executables can be recompiled to WASM with an LLVM IR "lifter".

In my experience, money as a side-project motivator or measure of future side-project success is folly. Make your side projects for fun, find other motivating factors to finish, or don't finish, it's all good. If you make somethin
