Because Google bashing is important for some people, regardless of the claims being true or not.

The article started from the WSJ, who's been running a long campaign against Google as part of Murdoch's empire.

Wow, when users explicitly authorize an app to access their email accounts, the app can access their email accounts. What's next? Scientists discover that the sky is blue?

It is classic postmodern text: it is supposed to look well informed, intelligent, but it lacks any coherent meaning. Simply fashionable nonsense.

I agree that it seems like an over-reaction. But on an account with intense usage, a single credit card on file, no backup, and a fraud warning it does seem very suspicious. AFAIK, Google Cloud credit card payments are processed through Goo

Meeting the goal isn't necessarily irrelevant, but without further data, it is irrelevant. Tell me, do you consider "I can quality check 5000 cars in a week" equivalent to "I can produce 5000 cars in a week"? Yes or

If your cloud services account was hacked, you'd most likely be thanking Google or Amazon for stopping the services.

They aren't making, they are pushing out of the factory. Each one of those cars could have taken 2 months to assemble, and they've just been waiting to finish and push it out. Without more data, the 5000 cars out of the gate numbe

They haven't shown that yet. They've shown that they can push 5000 cars out of the factory gates. Pushing a car out of the factory gates is not equivalent to assembling a car.

That's before you mention if 7000 cars went through production. You could easily have stored 7000 cars half way through production and finished them over a week. Heck, they could have 8000 cars parked waiting to go through quality co

Yes, indeed, or at least in the Italian part. French wouldn't help much.

Interesting facts: - More people speak Portugese in Switzerland than Romansch - More people speak Albanian in Switzerland than Romansch (there are 350k Kosovars in Switzerland, almost 5% of the population) https://www.eda.admin.c

They realized their own business model is frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, so there would be synergy in allowing cryptocurrency ads.

Yes, and that has been exploited in some situations (like trading). But besides those marginal cases, the impact is irrelevant.

You don't really care that much about modulation when you have gigahertz of spectrum to work with, and the cost to add another wire (or fiber) is marginal.

They look surprisingly similar to electricity substations, with the key differences being style (substations are usually older) and the vehicles parked in front.

While I dislike most postmodern philosophy and a good chunk of Foucault's, the core of the article is based on the concept that if you can define how pieces of an industry are named and grouped, you will hold power over how that indust

I don't think Blender is providing any personal information in the video. Not to mention that you can upload it from a burner account and device in a cafe. Oh, and you always have to option, well, not to upload it.

Wait, are you suggesting that it should be forced to continue to distribute your videos for free (to you) even if you don't agree to their terms of service?
