I just give a unique key to each user. That user does a lookup of key-<scroll-position>.tracking.example.com when they get to that part of the page. As they scroll I gather data via dns.

Source: was my job to track people and what they do.

> The feature was disabled while the used car dealer still had the car, before it was sold to the now current owner.

This is not what happened according to the article. A person bought the car with those features still existing on the car then ran an update. The update removed the features.

yes.

All of these (minus google domains) are to bolster their ad business.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624 It's ~7 years of hardware parts availability. Software is around 7-10 years.

iOS apps definitely do have this granular option. It's been around since iOS 2 SDK.

Executives that let this happen under their watch should be charged with the deaths of those 85 people.

You can’t get promoted at Google by maintaining an existing product. Only building a new one. (I’ve heard that over and over from friends that work/worked at google).

Yes, this is antidotal...

Burden is on you to simply login. That’s all twitter is asking - login to show you still want the username.

google doesn't need to care because their users don't care. take a look at all the google apologist in this comment thread for a quick example.

So are they going to send the money back?

Will they send the money 'back' to some charity or group that works to help victims?

Or just more cheap sorries but-thanks-for-the-expensive-equipment?

quick edit: MIT's endowment is worth over $16billion, they can afford to say no. https://news.mit.edu/2018/mit-endowment-financials-0914

Porsche CarPlay is fantastic.

Some modern Sci-Fi subscriptions in a similar format:

I subscribe/read with kindle/iPad (if you want color illustrations must be a tablet or computer).

As many report have already mentioned: the MCAS is not in the manuals.

My impression of systemd: shoddy version of launchd.

I bought a 5-year warranty @ Best Buy for a laptop back in ~2002. Got the cheapest eMachine sold for writing papers at university.

I had it replaced and/or fixed at least 4 times. Was worth it for me.

Editor will be snappier, Docker will start faster, git merges will be quick, etc

it all adds up.

I’m super confused on what a publisher does in this case. seems all they did was release on steam? Can’t any dev do the same? What was the purpose of the publisher? (Did I miss something?)

The reality is this (specific example from NYTimes) was always part of google. There never was a point where they were the good guys. Google has always been a bunch of amoral brilliant engineers.

http://www.blink.sh <- so far the best terminal.

Includes mosh support so you can sleep your iPad, switch between LTE/Wifi, etc - then later continue your terminal without interruption.

Many Southern California and Florida locations have the entire Costco food-court outside.

That's not true everywhere. A number of Costco's have the food court outside the building.

> Somewhere there's a spreadsheet with a number for energy cost savings that would make it worth it for Google

of all places you think Google does this kind of cost-analysis in a spreadsheet?

Brings back memories of Plus team all being close to leadership at Google... this is more of an ego thing for leadership and the lucky few deemed to be the most important.

If the "most important" were really seated next to leadership at Google it should be Adwords team.

why not "mktemp -t EditTextinEmacs". This will touch a file in $TMPDIR which is more safe than /tmp.

no ads is one of the many good features. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Definite legal ambiguity remains with ZFS"

This seems to be the biggest problem with ZFS. Even Apple ditched ZFS on macOS.

ZFS is slowing down and impacting the real alternative: btrfs. IMHO Red Hat should be ashamed for abandoning btrfs. ‍️
