If you're using the shift key, then "Tesla" is 6 keypresses whereas "TSLA" is only 4.5 (.5 since you don't technically have to release shift, which you can take advantage of in certain cases [0]). [0] https:&#

Some of this stuff is cool, and I can see how it might fit together (although I doubt half of it will pan out). But some of it just seems like nothing. The Shazam stuff seems very limited in use case, and I'm annoyed at "AppClips&

Google doesn't require SMS. They often ask me when I log in, but I can always hit 'skip', which I do because I'm scared of this exact case.

What grass though? This subset of employees seem to value working remotely above free food or massages or whatever other in-office perks. Work-from-home as a perk has a negative cost, so it's not crazy to think that companies might sta

I was planning on getting the Pixel 5, but ended up choosing the 4a 5G. Despite the name, it's closer to the 5 than to the 'plain' 4a in nearly all specs [1]. Same camera, processor, and resolution. The 5 supports higher fram

Interesting: in Chrome I can't search the content of <style> tags with ctrl+f. Seems to work in Firefox though. E.g. ctrl-f "max-width": zero results in Chrome (but it's used in the final <style> tag).
