Huh. Why did they not include communication (Gmail) data?

Yeh. But trust me, it'll be ready to be on market in 3 months.

Make it "punishable by up to 5% of global turnover over last three years" (kinda similar to GDPR) and stand back and see how quickly Google (I'm looking at you too Facebook, and Am…

A little off track rant but the tax and health policies of USA are super freaking unbelievable. Why on Earth can one not be eligible for a HSA when they don't have a HDHP? The heal…

Is there a reason they don't run child exploitation detection ML engine (PhotoDNA) on the media they index? I'd guess they already run an ML engine to "describe" a image while they…
