    1. Steam became a success because of the games Valve developed. 2. Epic created Fortnite, which you likely know is a popular release. That game is leading to the Epic store getting…

    I agree with the browser implementation. Automatically blocking the cookies will likely not work because sites frequently combine tracking and required cookies. 1. When the user st…

    How is it possible in 2020 a basic search of the start menu doesn't work? For example, I have Spotify installed, it appears in my start menu, but if I search for "Spotify" it's now…

    Cups work great for certain things, such as a cup of water, sugar, flour, or peanuts. It gets difficult in other situations though, like trying to measure a cup of spinach, strawbe…

    Wouldn't someone send communication signals to lure or bait other civilizations? For example, spam a friendly hello message on every potential communication channel and encourage n…

    They don't say that, because that's not their goal. Google makes money from consumers being online, searching, browsing the internet, and using Google apps. It doesn't matter if th…

    They make some where you attach a device to the dog's collar, and it unlocks the door when they approach. That being said, I grew up in an area completely surrounded by trees and e…

    If you have a SaaS application watch this video by Jason Cohen. It's about reaching 10k/month. In short, he says to charge more, focus on businesses and not consumers, and to find …

    How would this be different than going to Amazon.com and searching for "bluetooth speaker" or "marble chess site" and seeing offers from different companies for products you can bu…

    I get emails all the time from Google about DMCA notices and pages from my site being removed from search. They'll just give me a list of 100s of pages that have been removed. The …

    I don't think it's a fair comparison. There's a difference between someone crashing their own Volvo, and someone sitting in the backseat of a Waymo that misinterprets the lane mark…

    People are going to die in Waymo cars, and sometimes we'll wonder if the accident was avoidable and if the car made the wrong choice leading to someone's death. It'll look bad on t…

    Yes, they can do whatever they desire. The issue is when people are required to write life stories and superfluous content not because that's the direction they want to go, and not…

    Not quite the same, because right now tracking is suppose to be opt-in. Free cookies are not. A fair comparison would be a law saying people need to opt-in for paying for a cookie.…

    I think the following should happen... 1. Do a study and check how many people want to be tracked. Don't trust the data from websites because everyone is currently being tricked in…

    I think one aspect of Stripe design that I find distracting and bothersome is all of the rotated elements with 3D transforms and the diagonal lines. I find it jarring and unnecessa…

    They really don't seem to care. I run a site with AdSense. Google makes about 20k a year in commission from my site. I get zero support. 1. My ad clicks went from a steady 500 a da…

    That's true. Morgan does make some new vehicles with a classic look though. https://i.imgur.com/5sc1Baz.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FVlIX2V.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eEalrSe.jpg
