This sounds to me like a feel good sentiment that lacks careful thought. I agree that "droid" and "android" predate Google and their ilk. It still does not follow that they're suing out of boredom, or that they fe

That may be, but it does not refute the accusation that this is a double standard.

The alternative would be to scatter your secrets across several different stores, each of which would have their own security boundaries. In quite a lot of backend systems, you're only as strong as your weakest link. Now you're

Not to justify the abuse of the term, but here, the implication is that since the query is running on a database, and the database is accessible only over a network, that it is blocked on network I/O.

It's a good "smell test" as a developer. It's one of the "secret skills" you earn as someone who knows how to build systems, even though it's anything but secret. As a case study in open source developmen

Ah, you're right. No, there isn't an option to do this without explicitly Quitting. I find it a glaring omission myself, along with the fact that deleting Browsing History and Site Data are combined into a single option.

Yes, there's an option in Settings to close open tabs on quit.

A single data point certainly does not make a trend, but VW has actually tried to compete and had to change their tune rather quickly by admitting that Tesla has a sustainable lead in the EV space.

This might be true today, but will it hold in the medium/long-term future? The precise concern is that the existing manufacturers aren't paying attention to the upstart that could conceivably eat their lunch in the medium-term

Quite eerie to watch the column of dirt rise so slowly after such a violent explosion. Same for the aftermath, other than perhaps the melted snow exposing the red dirt below, the landscape hardly looks any different after the test. Amazing

There was not. They typically don't provide one for tests, especially as these hops are relatively minor compared to getting to orbit. It's likely they'll provide one for the 20km hop coming up, since amateurs and fans aren

Pretty wild. Seems like it took out a chunk of the pad on the way up as well. Those Raptors are no joke.

Frankly, I love Twitter. They've always seemed like the "scrappy" big player in the tech space that's played just the right side of the norm in many cases. An appropriately filtered experience on Twitter as a user is a

CloudCraft has a lot of unrealized potential. Unfortunately, the feature you're suggesting has actually been on their public feature tracker for years. CloudCraft continues to squander their resources, whoever they are.

Your speculation doesn't appear unfounded to me, but I think you're painting the picture with too broad of a brush here. AMZN, TSLA, and AAPL (just to limit the discussion to the ones you explicitly mentioned) are tech stocks, bu

As much as I would love to see it, Starlink will not come close to competing with the majority of incumbent ISP networks as it is currently designed. High-density urban areas (where most of the US population lives) cannot be well-served by

As the case in the article shows, this hurts the resale value of the car. If I spend $10-12k on software upgrades for a vehicle, and can't recover any of that money upon resale, I would call that a material distinction.

GP's point is that someone predicting a bang based on increasingly obscure and cherry-picked data does not in fact reliably predict a real bang in the future.
