"Rules" often contradict each other. For example, in software development, "keep it simple" often directly conflicts with "dont repeat yourself" as it takes increased complexity to…

Probably high for them are usage issues, like broke buttons in their UI or chopped text.

They may have noble intent, but they also have conflict of interest given Google basically signs their paychecks. [I do use Firefox regardless]

Self plug / just wrote a thing.

> but a properly security-paranoid home automation aficionado wouldn't be caught dead giving some proprietary black box power and network inside their own home. That sounds like th…

Google Chrome UI: "We aren't tracking you". Google Terms: "We are absolutely tracking you". Google: Fingers were crossed; doesn't count.

Sure, if data from US would be enough to understand and fight disease. Otherwise, you need to create some sort of world health organization to share meaningful data and investigate…

I posit that it is capriciousness, not hypocrisy.

Something along the lines barring the compilation of iOS apps with 3rd party tools or some such in TOS or blocking apps made with them from the App Store outright. Not saying the w…

Also "Frictionless sharing and collaboration" seems not valid at all when it exists in the closed ecosystem that is Apple. Probably the decision is to follow with Android and web […

Software development technology is getting close. A couple few more years maybe and that problem will start to go away fairly rapidly [relatively speaking], like possible 30-40% cr…

Signal seems a bit of a jerk company. They should have "stayed above the fray". Instead, they ridiculed. They were in their rights to do so but should have been the better. Throwin…

The Matrix gets it wrong. There won't need to be a war.

A 2nd password manager for the 2nd part of the password breaks maybe the key advantage of this mechanism by putting the "something you know" into a decryptable by design storage sp…

An entire continent full of kitchens keeps rice in cookers/warmers for days at a time. There us just no there there.

They all probably read Clean Code, the discussion on functions in that book may be the most harmful/costly to programming in the last 20 years.

Sometimes you just need the differentiator in your feature set. Then you let your marketing team go to work.

I switched my wife to FF from chrome and completely uninstalle chrome. She hates the inconvenience of any minor glitches or peculiarities - I hear a lot about it when she doesn't l…

Yap. People ask the internet now maybe more than their techie friends, and the marketers are probably as likely to be the ones amswering.

And how do you research for the formulation of such a law? Not really trying to defend anyone here with not much info, just it seems that asking parties for information about how t…

So maybe open source, [mostly] closed ecosystem? Add a bunch of Spyware from Google and get every app maker to add a dependency to Google services and they are golden for the colle…

Learning is nice and all, but if you didn't document well, and regardless probably the first time the next guy needs a feature that exists in off the shelf solutions, that code wil…
