Do you mean anti ad-blocking or the new detection for "private" mode? It took the NYT like 6 hours after WaPo started detecting incognito mode for them to start doing the same thing. That was about a week ago. I just open chrome t

Shoe dog is a great book. It was really interesting to read him talk about his issues with liquidity and him lamenting the lack of VC funding at the time. Of course he doesn't really address the downsides of VC funding but the local ba

This is no surprise, the Trump-Russia news story did lots to make Google tighten down and reinforce the major news outlets. A lot of this was documented when it happened when the concern of fake news was at its height, Google intentionally

It should be treated in the same class as driving while drinking. If you are in an accident that involved your phone usage you have to put your phone in a box before you can start your car or some similar mechanism to the in car breathalyze

It just seems odd when he is one of the people who founded this blog it is posted on. I'm sure he has great stories to tell and things in hindsight do seem more clear even if I find it odd in the first place. Like you said it is unfocu

If your head of product would rather write an internal memo addressed to the entire company instead of coming to you and telling you to shut up you have to wonder how you assume you could ever get to a billion dollars. "I myself didn’t

Part of the problem that I don't think people talk about needing twitter for work is how they don't separate it as publishing platform and a news platform. I think it is much better to use a kindle that you update before you go to

It could also be a way for AMD to get a ton of GPUs sold after oversupply due to the mining boom/bust.

I really don't understand why people here aren't talking about the real underlying principle of this service. Google has captured the education and cheap laptop space with chromebooks. This is the logical extension of that softwar

I think the inherent problem is that no site should be as big as Amazon is current. It just has insane mindshare. There is a shop 3 miles from the Buzzfeed offices that has one listed on their website for 37 cents more than Amazon charges,

This doesn't happen. Most of the time people either: 1. post something where you can understand what they mean but they didn't spend the time (not that you should have to) to refine the point and people are pedantic 2. post someth

Every time I read about this it makes me think back to the video of the cartel depositing perfectly sized boxes at a HSBC bank.

I appreciate that fact that you can tell this is all just a front for beliefs they don't have. I mean if they really believe in free speech you would assume they would have mentioned Julian Assange or Wikileaks once. It would have made

I think the biggest hindrance to VR is that Apple doesn't have the equivalent to Cardboard/Daydream. I don't know how many of you have introduced people to VR but every person I have shown VR to has enjoyed it. There is a lot

I meant to say distinguish between counterfeit goods and the genuine article. I just think when you spend at least 4 digits on something you should either have experience in the area or buy with someone who does. Should Amazon do a better j

Amazon doesn't deliver the things you bought. I don't understand why you are buying luxury goods off of Amazon when you aren't able to distinguish between counterfeit goods. There is a reason designer stores exist. There are

I think this works as long as the companies face proper financial punishment for data leaks. The reason that UL works is because it is required by insurance. This insurance would probably only exist if data leaks were expensive to deal with

The Chinese Government has many advanced methods of social control, from constant cctv surveillance, direct access to every social media network, massive censorship powers, etc. The comedown from empire isn't pretty and even if the tra

No, it is much more advantageous for them to engage in stuff like PRISM which has no public oversight or accountability and then play pretend in courts. Also this gives them more leverage, they would much prefer these things come in the for

I think you can reduce it down to the formula: You should assume [US entity] will eventually implement [Chinese Government method of social control].

I trust no government, especially the US government, to require the implementation of a wiretap. It has already been shown that they have greatly abused any trust given to them. Law enforcement already has the FISA court, Stingrays, PRISM,

This service seems to promote a very odd consumption of podcasts. Most people don't have a problem finding new podcasts to listen to if they want another one to listen to. The much bigger issue they have is finding which of the previou
