Macbooks of coffee.

French press also extracts and preserves all the oils present in coffee beans, whereas drip/chemex filters them out.

As a sidenote, french press is also great for brewing tea, but keep your coffee and tea presses separated.

Chemex is just an expensive, proprietary coffee pot.

The future of housing is people paying ever more for ever smaller places to live, because bubbles just keep growing indefinitely and markets don't get disrupted. The tendency of employers to offer 100% home office work is a factor that can easily reverse this trend, for one.

It's always amusing to see the hoops you have to jump through to customize your system on non-Linux machines, and even then you don't have half the expected flexibility. Both Windows and Mac laptops are probably great for people whose customization needs end at changing the wallpaper, but not for professionals with established personal workflows worked out over the course of years or decades.

Until there's an emoji representing every imaginable demographic group engaged in every imaginable activity, the Unicode is not complete.

Who can afford to pay for more than 60% of the ride's cost?

Uber's strategy is to eliminate all possibility of competition before raising prices.

Ok, I won't argue with that.

I don't see any way I could convince you of anything believably, since I'm just some stranger on the internet.

Please just do me a favor and delete all the posts I've ever made from this account, thanks.

This is a totalitarian publisher's wet dream, to strongarm users to pay them or look at they ads whether they like it or not. If somebody's using adblockers, they're not going to be converted by your ads either way. If you introduce bothersome mechanisms preventing me from interacting with your website on my terms, I'm just going to leave and never come back.

This is exactly why we need Firefox and other browsers, so that Google can't dictate what the web has to look like. They'd like to ideally introduce a tracking id in everything you ever do everywhere, it's up to us to stop them.

Anyway, no matter what kind of mechanism is introduced, there will be an equal and proportionate response to mitigate it within a week. You can't force people to watch ads they don't care about, and that's it. The sooner you accept it, the smaller losses you'll incur.

Ok, and who cares really? Do you think you only have worth if you have many HN points?

This is yet another attempt by Google to leverage their browser market hegemony against other publishers. Who wants to bet that Youtube will have autoplay enabled by default in all cases, while other ad providers will have theirs disabled?

From the man who brought you "The Case for Non-Binary Genders" last year. No thanks.

Why would it be a problem that white males get funded? Besides, I'm willing to bet that they'll find out that the algorithm also picks white males, for objective reasons.

This is a basic protection that should have been passed a long time ago, don't try to frame it as "censorship", it was created to give you control over your own personal information.

This is the most dystopian article I have read in a very long time:

>“They thought we could read their mind. This caused some discomfort and resistance in the beginning,” she said.

>“After a while they got used to the device. It looked and felt just like a safety helmet. They wore it all day at work.”

Cool, then you probably don't care about EU customers anyway

Exactly, the GDPR regulations are completely reasonable and it's actually quite odd to see them being put into practice so late. The user data selling wild west had to be regulated at some point to curb predatory practices of Google, Facebook, and many others. If your business model isn't based on exploitation and profiling, it isn't hard at all to comply with GDPR.

This is fantastic news, if a company can't behave responsibly with user data, it deserves to go bankrupt. It's like a restaurant saying it can't comply with health regulations. Absolutely unacceptable. If the business model is to exploit and sell personal information, then the world is better off without that company.

At their size it's hard to estimate but it's definitely in the 90% range. I've seen estimates of 85-99% of revenue coming from advertising.

Google gets 97% of its income from selling ads and analytics, everything else they do or produce exists only to serve this goal and to strengthen their monopoly and entrench their position even further. A browser to dictate internet standards so they can push towards more surveillance, a mobile operating system so they can control most of the world's mobile devices with an iron fist, email service and cloud storage platform so they can get better profiling data and so on.

Any code that is shared for free under the guise of "open sourcing" is most of the time either a byproduct of their internal research that will not lose any value by sharing it (or will actually make non-employees extend it and work on it for free for Google's benefit), or something so specific to the company that nobody stands to gain anything from adopting it.

Google is first and foremost an advertising and user profiling company, it is useful to think about them from this perspective as it explains most of their actions with perfect clarity.

This doesn't mean that Windows is better, it just means you have no other choice because you were forced to by a vendor who didn't provide a native Linux binary.

Is there any difference between the two services now? Or are they going to be merged under a single domain?

The less developers cater to Windows, the better. Remember that usually it's the other way around, Windows receives support from driver/software developers, and it's seen by most as a feature of Windows. At any rate, Windows is a subpar choice for any server needs, so it's for the better.

Only the free version, there is another (Pro) version which has additional features and a closed source.

Another interesting fantasy console is LIKO-12, with a huge advantage of being free software:

Material Design is one of the worst things that ever happened to the design of websites, not only Google's but everyone's, since now so many are trying to copy it. I have no idea why anyone would want to see it anywhere.

I don't see this being any more unethical or unnerving than keeping a liver a or a lung or a heart alive outside of a body. A brain is just another organ, it's not a mind. It is a vital organ, to be sure, but the article equates it with the "essence" of a living being. This involves too many assumptions.

Will Apple sue the researchers for trademark infringement?
