This is awesome. I've used a number of apps where the PWA is better than their native counterpart. I want more people to use this technology.

It sounds like an Internet equivalent of a Nielsen box?

What does AMP have to do with anything? The fine article is about flagging potential URL homograph attacks. It's a reasonable thing for a browser to do, since those attacks are incredibly hard to spot. I don't know why Wired click

Oh man, if this could get things like Signal Desktop off of Electron, I would be so happy...

Electron apps are pretty miserable in general.

The cement tiles around Building 17 at Microsoft are actually like a physical graveyard. So many dead products! The 90's CD-ROM multimedia era generated a lot of dead-end franchises.

I could see this seriously effing with software jobs. Even if a company intends to keep their noses squeaky clean, every developer hired becomes an additional risk. Companies will try to control more of the process from the top down (and th

Some services use ultrasonic pairing, like (IIRC) Google Play Movies on Roku.

Too bad Edge doesn't support Safe Browsing mode. IIRC the API is publicly available too; MS doesn't want to swallow its pride and implement a client for it.

I'm pretty sure this is how ChromeOS' update system works.

He said that he was going to get professional help. I doubt that a dose of empathy would take off his edge. I'm expecting that he'll come back a much more effective leader.

It might just be a security measure, but tinfoil hats are fun...

Kind of surprised of the lack of redundancy, especially for their first party products. Shouldn't they be deploying to more than one failure zone?

A very bizarre set of reaction tweets, was Terry big among the alt-right/4chan crowds? It was very sad to witness his condition deteriorating over the past months.

ChromeOS is touch friendly, and there are several really good and inexpensive Chromebooks with 180 degree hinges for a tablet-like form factor.

A lot of software projects fail. Why the blind faith that LN will inevitably get better? ICOs are like this too. Billions of dollars are rallied for technologies that don't exist, for founders who don't exist (their headshots are

All of the different MP modes kept it fresh too. When you got bored, you would flick on a few switches to make things unbalanced and silly.

I wish the media would hold the same hue and cry over telco tracking. ISPs are unrepentantly shady about their collection and resale of PII but nobody bats an eye...

Because the world around you sustains you, and isn't made to game your neurochemicals for addictive behaviors. Isolation is a very strong factor for depression.

How do you phrase that in a way that doesn't offend? Are you upfront with your policy, or do you only state it if people act like jerks with their phones?

I'm amazed nobody's talked about Reader. The Google bashing thread graph always terminates in a Reader cycle.

Yes, that's how software works? I mean, once you've given software access to your data. You can't statically verify what software is going to do. Users shouldn't trust random third party developers with their data.

This only raises more questions. The law firm is seriously sketchy. https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/8slnho/freeh_spor... And... they didn't actually verify anything. Look at these disclai

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Google gets roasted by the press no matter what it does.
