It's Google's proposal, but it actually affects any entity having multiple domains. Think of publishers like Conde who have multiple magazines, or a company with regional domains (company.co.uk, company.com) or a content site set

Assuming a domain name as a hard boundary for information is a disaster, imho. All of our fights over "1st party" and "3rd party" based on arbitrary names for a service is just specious, and the continued emphasis of &q

You post screenshots of your app in progress for feedback. Scammer dupes those, rushes app into store, and when you finally launch, they "were there first" and requests your deletion on those grounds. So, I suspect Apple just wan

Was hoping to learn more about the lack of rhymes for the word "orange" in English, and if that's true in the upstream languages. Maybe in the sequel... (Edit: typos and clarity)

It's fascinating that the Jobs Reality Distortion Field is alive and well in Tesla. I don't own one, and each friend I ask tells me the same thing across S, 3, X, and Y: "Great tech! Amazing experience! I mean, sure, fit and

Sadly, kept reading as "Jetsons". I suspect this mis-read is correlated with age of the reader. On the positive side, learned something new about something old from parent.

First project in a while aimed at devs that has Linux and Windows as named release versions with no OSX version. As much as I love cross platform, it's nice that Windows devs still get some love... :-). (Yeah, I know the qt version c

Sorry, showing my age and inability to spell and lack of appreciation of the pain of inscrutable acronyms... in a post about inscrutable languages. Ouch on me.

I get TIMTOWYTDI, that it's good to have more than one way, but each seems equally inscrutable. Can you imagine explaining any of these to a novice who just wants that box to be centered and stay centered? When they ask "Why is

I felt some minor irony here... @ Most of the folks affected by these actions of Apple and FB don't read the physical paper; I sub to NYT online so never saw the ads. (But of course, it's not aimed at the people who might be impac

So, still ads but different name. These price engines (every one I've seen) are all affiliate hubs; they list only products that pay for the click. Any reviews on such sites are biased in similar ways to the gaming in reviews in major

So, this post suggests that lockdowns don't "work": among other things, a lockdown may create reactance causing people to not not only avoid changing their behaviors to reduce risk, it may even make some perform behaviors to

Title doesn't quite match the article. The central thesis, that the separation of structure, interactivity, and style is a good thing for users, is a separate need than the need for different languages. Sure, the languages are custom

Softdisk plays a pretty pivotal role in pc gaming history. Sure, shareware and forum downloads over Hayes and Volksmodems was a distribution channel, but I also recall the excitement when a new copy of Softdisk showed up. The publishing a

It's often the "all-in-one" nature that make these printers so attractive. Yes, master of none, but most consumer grade lasers tend not to have copiers/scanners or (shudder) fax capability. The (deceivingly) low entry

Besides the 90% protection, does the research or testing imply a reduced severity should one actually catch the disease by rolling a 92 on the dice? I'm presuming the white blood cells and t-cells can act as de-escalators but I don&#x

Sorry, advertising area. Often, brands choose not to do "national ads" but instead double down on certain geographic areas. I wasn't sure is DDG did a national US or a regional buy.

Given their ads over the last three months, I'm not surprised to see growth. The real question is if they can keep the new users. For those not in the adv area, we saw billboards, radio and TV spots, and transit posters (vehicle side

To be fair, you may not have much of a choice in the future. We see things that used to just be built in to purchase pricing (say, Apple Carplay) becoming subscription unlocked in brands like BMW. BMW backed down this year (2020) but onc
