    I just use Groove on both android and windows. All my music is synced to both places and I can get music I acquired elsewhere onto everything by just sticking it in OneDrive

    Perhaps the government only cares about who is calling who and for how long?

    Given that its neighbors' top two electricity sources seem to be Nat Gas and Nuclear, seems probable that most of the electricity comes from those sources

    I think the point is more, in what way does google have any power to stop other browsers from implementing this API?

    Looks like this crate is merely trying to provide a standard set of types used in an HTTP pipeline to make different crates that want to have a part in that pipeline able to be com…

    Wouldn't Apple Pay just be more of a 6th intermediary that just obfuscates the actual payment card from certain parties in that chain?

    Perhaps not build systems, but I think editors that help you keep track of warnings should probably have a list of them per-file and only clear that list when the file actually get…

    They were offering $800 worth of vouchers, but it's multiple vouchers where you can only use 1 at a time and they expire in a year.

    Rust can currently statically link the VC CRT, looks like servo doesn't compile with that option at the moment is all
