Nonetheless, it feels like there should still be an FAQ for actual FAQs. It's harder to maintain than other documentation?

If Google enforced that hosts/domains matched, could you not redirect from your own host to the tracking provider (and them back to you)?

In my experience, well in excess of 20% of devs would make such claims and/or behave like this if given free rein, perhaps even a majority. This is especially true if you take "dev" to mean "anyone who commits code"

Could not agree more. There has been both a large quality drop and a big political shift to the left (no idea how replies can claim they have become more and more centrist - that was true until a few years ago but it's swung back). The

That would not be the case for biodegradable ones, presumably - and indeed the article mentions Vegware, which I see everywhere now.

What was the coffee cup discussion? A colleague recently told me that re-usable coffee cups are about single-use plastics. I looked down at my coffee cup and found it to be both recyclable and biodegradable. He told me it was about the lids

Possibly should be labelled "2018" - I believe several courts including the UK High Court and the European Court of Human Rights have found against parts of the Investigatory Powers Act, in addition to ECJ findings in 2016. Practi

I agree, but naturally I think that’s the natural interpretation :) Speculating: I think many Rust rewrite projects are criticised under “for the sake of it” when in fact there is a clear decision that Rust is just a better choice in 2019 (

I'm surprised to see you agree strongly. A Rust re-write for the political/ideological reason of "only using Rust" seems not good engineering by definition - it is not an engineering decision. However, most of the time t

Why can’t these emails just come out and say it: “your account was affected”. It’s always implicit. Also, why rely on users to change their passwords? Is there a security log I can check?

That is intentional - it's a regular column about social media: "The Interface is a daily column about the intersection of social media and democracy. Subscribe to the newsletter here." The headline is the leading story and t

Does a more modern Rust/LLVM not auto-vectorize this?

You can reset the identifier already. I assume you are not looking to supply a particular value?

It doesn't seem to reflect any misunderstanding at all to me. Did you read the following explanation? For example, reducing ad spend for growth was considered a possibly good answer.

Does anyone know how much RAM this has, or will that information only come to light when it gets opened up? I've always had the feeling that RAM becomes the limiting factor for long-life of such a device (because newer iOS/apps&#x

I feel like I've been waiting a long time for autoplay blocking - does this keep being pushed back or have I missed a feature cancellation/config setting/extension announcement?

I doubt only because of that. It’s quite easy to end up in an alternate reality where you get $30k/year for doing boring manual work, or indeed anyway sitting behind a screen all day.

That is begging the question (I don't habitually ask them, anyway). I believe all of the source studies are multi-year at least.

The article says that after data mining a large dataset for correlations, the authors could only explain 0.4% of the variation in well-being by screen time. Is there really that much to worry about?

Is there an email notifying all users of the incident and a separate email notifying those affected, or just one? Many companies seem to use intentionally vague wording to suggest you might not have to worry.

How does the process of getting the certificate installed work? Does the user manually accept the installation at any point? Or is part of the blame on Microsoft for allowing this?

Isn’t that exactly what he’s doing? It says the issue has been settled amicably and they’re looking elsewhere. Also, how do you define “welcome”? A single lawsuit doesn’t mean much about overall endorsement.
