Chrome and Google search have their own nudges right? I get many notifications from gmail telling me to install their mail app, or from google search telling me Chrome is better. What's the legal argument that could apply to one but no

I'd be interested to hear what it was like on the dev team. I'm sure they don't super care about throwing elbows at Firefox now that that fight is won, so maybe the issues are just holdover from past decisions. But 10 years a

With how much Chrome "Oops"ed Firefox[1] I am fully in the "kick back and eat popcorn" mindset of this fight. If only Chrome could do the same thing to Edge than people might be clamoring back for Firefox. That said, Fir

People knock it, but it's the best system in the world. Costs more per capita than anywhere else, long waits for specialists, doctors and nurses are overworked, and many have to fight insurance to get even basics needs covered. None be

Reading the article I figured this event was in our galaxy but it’s 22 million light years away! Makes sense that other telescopes couldn’t resolve it.

Baja has a great point, but I think another one beyond the transit time is relative size. Unless there's a jovian planet with life out there your best bet at measuring a regular sized planet is around a small stars. Dwarfs. When we had

It's "authentic" in the same way that when you see something labeled authentic it makes you more likely to question if it's actually what it says it is because authentic thing don't need such labels plastered on the

Technology has moved so quickly we literally can't have anything nice for more than 5 years before they start innovating on revenue streams. I used to be a massive technophile but now I have the dumbest home of all my family and friend
