The lack of details is infuriating. It makes it sound like they implemented a compliant bluetooth chip at 1/1000th the cost size and power of commercial solutions.

Im curious to know why this would be downvoted. Everyone has spent the last 6 months talking about the end of offices and “work from home”. Can someone elaborate?

I think a lot of Americans are still in the world war 2 generation mindset about the US being corruption-free. The truth is that corruption at every level has gotten steadily worse throughout the last century, but the culture hasn’t yet cha

In contract law, “third party” is a term of art meaning a party which is not a party to the contract. So the fact that Tesla is not a party to the developer’s agreement with Apple makes it a third party.

The only additional data going to google would be intranet requests incorrectly sent to google as searches. I don't think google did this to collect that data, but some legal standards would be nice either way.

66% of americans oppose government data collection. Obviously neither party is anywhere near the ‘middle’ and other political forces are driving what legislation gets passed. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019&#

Yes, massively unpopular. Pew research found that 66% of americans opposed government data collection. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/11/15/key-takeawa...

The sitting president was elected as a Republican on the promise of deporting foreign nationals living illegally in the United States. Wether you agree or strongly disagree with that policy, how is suing to let them stay “non-partisan”? ht

How could two organizations of thousands of people ever be completely 100% identical, and why does that matter at all if neither party has rolled back these massively unpopular policies, even when controlling both houses of Congress and the

The only politically feasible alternative is increased welfare spending, which means a low minimum wage is just a way to have taxpayers cover employers’ labor costs. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/02&

You are certainly correct if you vote for the center-left or center-right parties. But that is true in all western states. Are you familiar with French politics? For all the crap Americans give them about surrendering in the world wars, the

Iran and Venezuela would disagree, or any country the US government has banned from the international banking network. The fact that one country can unilaterally block bank transfers between third parties solidifies the need for non-politic

Being a neutral platform for speech is not ‘helping’ anyone. It helps the ideas the public agrees with the most, which is why Google and Newscorp are fighting to control internet media with backroom ‘partnerships’ rather than giving viewpoi

Unlike the Ron Popiel rotisserie oven, politics isn’t “set and forget”. There’s no magic system where, once established, good honest people can ignore politics and have effective government.

Wouldn't that just be Google manipulating coverage for Google’s benefit? I don’t think Google should be blessing any publishers with special “news section” status. Let websites compete organically. Any media with finance capital backin

“The Chrome team” hasn’t just made ‘mistakes’. The problem is that Google’s whole reason for making its own browser in the first place was to entrench the web features it uses to track you and veto any efforts to replace them. Engineers are

Browsers should be linked to the OS. The problem is that Google is trying to replace your OS with Chrome so they can track everything you do. Apple has resisted implementing a lot of bad stuff Google is trying to push, and made serious, if
