Swatch primarily makes money selling watches, so they probably think it’d be a bad look if they made watches for another brand, tacitly endorsing it.

Those URLs are temporary and locked to the IP that fetched them. You can't effectively share the URLs since they're generated uniquely per-client. Not sure if this changes anything though. edit: some quick testing confirms these

I think it's a bit of an understatement to say that YouTube video content URLs are just obfuscated. I don't think this is referring to the youtube.com URLs of public videos, which are public so not "obfuscated", but the

Your link to the deleted blog post is wrong. Here's the real link: https://web.archive.org/web/20230122230554/https://www.about... Your link was just to their main site, which is still online now. (

Technically feasible? Absolutely. You can already create interactive documentation just with client side JS in your Hugo generated site. And HTMX is just a client-side JS system for building that sort of JS-required interactivity in HTML al

A self-managed FOSS level 5 self-driving system, where you're not legally required to be actively monitoring it and ready to take over, seems very very hard. We should require a huge and lengthy validation process for true autonomous l

The important part is that their overall energy consumption is low. And their usage is quite bursty so I think you're right that a space based laser would just spend days charging batteries via solar or from an RTG. Also even on land w

It is in fact part of the latest standard: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/popover.html#the-popo... Safari and Edge preview builds are supporting popover as well. Mozilla has indicated they’re “positive” on it.

It’s interesting that Mercury is every planet’s closet neighbor. And of course its orbit is so close to the Sun that that average distance to Mercury is about the same as each planet’s average distance from the Sun. (Which I think is even

I think the how is pretty simple: If you're a company that runs a chat/communication app and you can't comply with a government request for the contents of private communication on your platform then you're in violating

While of course no government comes close to that level of radical transparency, Finland comes closer than most. I believe Finland requires all official government documents be made public by default, unless they are specifically exempted.

They're only logging if the script failed to load. They just want accurate metrics on how many people are blocking the ad serving script. Personally, I want them to know I'm blocking their ads since it sends a signal to them about

If anyone wants a recommendation for an alternative, I've had a good experience with the Crucial X8 4TB external SSD. Not quite as fast as the SanDisk Extreme Pro but pretty decent. Wouldn't trust it 100% though. (Also after writ

This is an unfair characterization. At least for how Codepen is using it. They aren't doing anything with this besides measuring how many people are using ad-blockers. (and if Codepen tried to block ad-block users with this technique

I feel like the core message on this page is really weakened by including a broader critique of Google. It shouldn't matter who owns the TLD. Even if Google wasn’t the .zip owner, or if you don’t believe they’re an insidiously corrupti

Interesting! I had assumed that if you could mark pages of memory as executable (for a JIT), that an app could use that to call all sorts of security/privacy sensitive private APIs they're usually forbidden from using. But maybe n

Hah sorry for the wall of text. Totally agree the real reason Apple bans browsers is not motivated by security, and them pointing at the JIT/performance is just the one plausible excuse. But besides alternative browsers, IMHO this ban

You're mixing up executing JavaScript generally vs JavaScript with a JIT. Apple has specifically banned Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation, where JavaScript (or anything) is translated into machine code, marked for execution, and ran direc
