It would remove any incentive to intentionally worsen the non-Chrome(ium) experience. Relevant if you suspect they are deliberately sabotaging Firefox. (That would be a foolish move to make while they are in the middle of multiple antitrust

From what I have seen, there are the main tasks (of which there are generally only 2 active at once), and side tasks. New side tasks unlock as you complete each tier of main tasks, and seem to be a mix between teaching different useful patt

If you play on the harder difficulties, you are limited by the number of platforms you can build (even if you later delete one). You earn more by delivering certain shapes, with more complex shapes giving more points. It means your platform

I would imagine most people are not using all 14, but some subset. If you have friends and family that are not all on the same services, having a unified inbox to talk to them all without having to remember who you talk to on what is conven

Is it more ridiculous than having someone standing at a cash register in the store doing the same task, while also having to bag for you and pretend to smile?

Looks like a more robust type system than Jsonnet (but less than Cue), with some amount of flow-control that Cue doesn't seem to support. I am not very familiar with Cue though.

Everyone I have heard talk about that initial demo mentioned it was weird and creepy. But I do not think it was ever the plan that you would create spatial videos primarily from the headset. You can also take them with the latest gen of iPh

Depending on the developer, there is also quite a lot of trust I need to impart on them too. I am reasonably confident in Apple keeping my data secure. I would likely be confident in it for the bigger apps out there, like your Netflix or Sp

Beeper has an application to consolidate many different messaging applications into a single app. One of those messaging apps was iMessage, with the added ability to use iMessage on Android. Previously, they did this by effectively having y

That's somewhat in debate, the last I saw. The initial report was it affected a user using Firefox, and it didn't when they switched useragents. Since then, there have been reports of users not seeing it in Firefox, but seeing it

There is also something to be said about who is the larger trade partner. If you do more trade with the US than the Eurozone, makes more sense to choose the dollar.

OPs point, I think, is that wasting the user's time is part of the point of the code. This specific code seems partially meant as a punishment of the user for using an adblocker.

Strictly speaking, it is over the companies monopoly in search. Google also lives in other markets where there is competition, so this may be about those markets not search.

Same thing with selling software to the government. "Is the software secure" is far less important to those customers than "does it pass the scan".

More over, you are clearly not in violation of copyright if you are talking about statistics about the material. In your example, printing out a "there were 7000 instances of the word 'the'" is certainly not a violation.

I would say that is uncertain. Model weights are always going to effectively be a huge collection of statistics about the training corpus. Unless you are envisioning artisanal, hand-crafted, free-range model weights where a person used a no

As far as I can tell, Zitadel cannot be used as a SAML client, only as a provider. One of my requirements is that we use customer-provided (and controlled) SAML for SSO. Otherwise it was looking very promising.

Yep, this is why I have been evaluating it recently. Have a customer that wants SAML 2.0 support, others that want LDAP support, 2FA support, and multi-tenancy support, while being something we can self-host. The other main suggestions I ha

Clearly it isn't. Could be a miscalculation on their part, but I still think it more plausible they are hoping to find a big customer who will actually pay those prices.

On the flip side, if they wanted to kill the popular apps, why wouldn't they just block them directly instead of doing so indirectly through crazy API pricing?

More accurately, you are fine until you try to distribute them, or display them. Giving out free copies would not be commercial, but would definitely be a violation.
