I agree with the principal, but in practice the mailing list post is pretty inscrutable to me (as a casual git user, maybe more experienced users find it more helpful?) On the other hand the github blog post provides a lot of extra context

Surely what the world really needs is a new, faster implementation of IndexedDB? I propose writing it on top of this sqlite implementation, so we get the full indexedDB on sqlite on indexedDB on sqlite experience.

I don't think anyone is arguing that Google/apple shouldn't be able to charge to use their stores. What is wrong is the amount they charge and the lack of options if you don't want to pay that fee. In a non-monopolistic

As well as the other use cases mentioned, they're harder to guess than incrementing integer IDs so are a useful defense in depth to help stop people guessing URLs for resources.

I think it's worth noting that the proposed change is only to prevent alerts from cross origin iframes, not in general.

When there are billions of users and millions of websites I think it's very rare that you'll have 'correct' solutions, just different trade offs.

I've started building a little app that uses the serial port API. It's a little widget for collecting and processing data from a pretty custom piece of hardware. It'd be a total dream if we could just send people to a web pag

> 30% revenue share is a lot...but it doesn't kill entire categories of apps. Personally Im not so optimistic. 30% is a huge chunk of revenue and is completely unworkable for anything that doesn't have a huge margin built-in.

I imagine a lot of businesses who use google workspace use it as it's bundled (why pay for zoom, teams etc. on top).

I find stories like the one linked incredibly frustrating. There's no detail whatsoever about what actually happened, so we're basically in a he-said-she-said between google and the regulator. If google's done something wrong

A quick bit of googling suggests that copper ore is between 0.4% and 12% copper [1]. Just guessing, but I'd be surprised if there was anything like that much copper in a generic landfill site which makes me think it'd be pretty un

Oh cool, thanks for clarifying! In the context of the article, I thought you were saying one was better than the other.

If that is the argument, does it matter whether it is Apple or Google who is holding the physical data? Apple and Google are both based in the US and beholden to the US government, so from the government's perspective it's just a

I don't think that is really the point that was being made. As you say the practical chances of google storing this data for x years, then committing corporate suicide by decrypting it is are miniscule (and presumably apple agrees). Th

I think the main point that the article makes is that for copyright to work you need some notion of a creative work, and so far it's generally accepted that snippets like i = i + 1 aren't creative enough to be covered by co

I completely agree and didn't mean to suggest it wasn't a serious vulnerability: as I understand it this attack means that if any VM in the subnet is compromised that can be leveraged in to an attack on any VM in the subnet so you

While it certainly seems like a fairly serious vulnerability I think it's worth highlighting that this attack requires that either you already have access to a machine on the same subnet as the target machine or that the firewall in fr

Regarding your proposed scheme, what's to stop me taking a screenshot from the app and sharing it with all my friends? If the QR code contains no personal info then how does the person scanning it know who the code was generated for?

I was responding to the parent comment (which from my reading asked why users can't tell google which country they want their account to be associated with) not the article.

Because Google has to satisfy the legal requirements of the country the user is actually in.
