Instead of fixing bus that's too slow for SSD (really too slow?) they're made that hack with duct tape. And it surely has proprietary API and direct addressing (no filesystem) like in 50s. Then they'll integrate ethernet into

Creating database of music and movies metadata (titles, descriptions, song names, file checksums) is treated like terrorism in todays world. The only difference of Wikipedia is that it doesn't contain that checksums. So seems that thes

Today such databases of cultural works metadata (movie descriptions, music album track lists) are illegal because you can use some of metadata (checksum of files) as identifier to associate it with actual content in p2p network. What if we

Most useful extensions require access to all sites so permissions system isn't very helpful at all.

Extensions like this are just the same as .exe adware downloaded and installed by user (not automatically). More serious problem is legitimate extensions that are trusted by lots of users then being sold to some rogue company, then lots of

I always wondered why proxy configuration env variable is usually http_proxy, not HTTP_PROXY, despite env variables are usually uppercase. It made me clear why. Moreover, curl has http_proxy, but also HTTPS_PROXY, FTP_PROXY, ..._PROXY, ALL_

And as I remember, it worked much better in 2005 when Adwords used only page information, not visitor's.

It uses sha-1 for each piece of content. Although sha-1 considered insecure, I'm not sure of practical possibility to introduce collisions while injecting working malware. Should be very hard.

I think it's mostly ok on Android (except floating buttons), but bad on websites (even Google's own). And that mobile-like dumbification when websites look like my monitor is giant handset and most features and controls are remove

But it's only Europe, without being able to update in real-time and only for serving bitmap tiles. Not much fun (although still useful for lots of use cases).

If it's really due to some kind of erotic pictures, then I don't understand why often american companies like Google act like iranian. Is there any laws in USA that allows to punish Google for hosting images of woman nipples? Why

Yes, frontend layout designers reinvented Hungarian notation. It'll take another 10 years to realize it's not a very good idea.

What's more interesting is the way Ingress checks for link intersections at that scale (and it checks it for each key in inventory).

Despite such late upgrade to https, the site looks good, uses html5, works without Flash and even not accuses me of piracy for using adblocker.

This page loads CPU 100% all the time it opened, even with adblocker (that causes the site to show nag screen). I hope one day Google Safe Browsing will treat such newsshit sites as malicious.

In Russia, lots of people used headphones about 5 years ago. Now I see people with headphones very rarely. Also, I think interest to music is in decline here.

Will Youtube use it for cat videos? Coursera for lectures? Bandcamp for indie projects? Probably not. Consumers of Hollywood junk on various netflixes deserve malware. They eat shit already, now they'll eat it with tasty DRM sauce.

It's crap-first. Snapchat reminded me of reincarnation of Myspace which was totally unusable, but teenagers still were using it because it was marketed as place where they can interact with musicans.

Invest in Clash of Clans, not this nostalgic shooter company. New generation never played such quakey games. Even Valve already knows that Half-life and so on has commercial value comparable to Nethack and is building new click-to-pay free

They can outsource it to Chinese companies. Gamers nowadays are not choosy and will play anything that has "Half-life" franchise label on it, "Doom" of 2016 confirmed it.

And also may become obsolete after Java 8/9 (as Coffeescript after ES6/7). Problem is that noone in Java body shops ever touched Java 8, they're still migrating from Java 5 to Java 6.
