No, just surprise... so much tracking & surveillance happening in tech it makes your head spin.

Geez, even the author of this piece is "Founder/CEO of Digital Barriers, which develops advanced surveillance technologies for frontline security and defence agencies as well as commercial o…

Randal O'Toole has been crashing rail conversations for years, always with wrong and misleading facts. It's not like he doesn't know when he's off (like his argument about the topo…

I definitely think they made the right call here. Even Microsoft is dropping support in Office 365. Commendable, too, that they are working to backport some v3 features to the v2 codebase.

"...can potentially degrade the small businesses which rely on targeted ads" Just thinking there were small businesses before this type of tracking and there will be small businesses after. …

I knew someone would bring this comment. Webdev can be broken, but doesn't have to be. I am currently having fun & feeling productive on both a large team project and some small personal proj…

You are talking about a target market's ability to pay, which is a real and important consideration. I think shimfish is talking more about a market's willingness to pay, which is a very d…

By the data, it IS true, though. Cars—especially the engines—are lasting longer because we're just better at making them. Reliability by manufacturer varies of course. Since the engines are lasti…

For my situation an EV is MORE practical--no gas stations. In four years, only done a small handful of trips longer than 300 miles (range of car). I'd bet the most common US car trip originates f…

If... your argument is that it's easier to be a woman in tech than a man in tech... ( rubs eyes ) that most men in tech are "protecting" the women in this industry... I... don't ev…

That's really disappointing to hear. I've owned a Model S since before the Model 3 arrived and have always fretted that the level of service I received wasn't sustainable at scale. They…

Always thought of this as a fascinating race to watch. What will happen first: (1) Tesla figuring out how to really build & manufacture cars or (2) the legacy automotive companies really figuring …

Build setups can get complicated and simple sites can send way to much javascript to the browser. But neither one of these are required outcomes. I think it's ok to have build tools that do small…

Netlify maintains its own edge network that's actually deployed across various clouds. You are right that Netlify uses AWS lambdas to power Netlify Functions, but that was chosen for the wide sup…

But that goes equally across platforms. When I'm on a windows machine, I miss the hell out of Keynote and Bear, for example.

When your digital document format needs artificial intelligence to understand the content, it may be the wrong container for delivering content. I'll be sad to see content that should be delivere…

This is a great way to work

Don't think so, that's my tactic, too

It's horrible. They've made the site itself unusable on mobile. They care so much because as you browse links out to other content, they can keep you in the app using the embedded browser. A…

But I'm not sure that geography is the best way to segment & present music going forward? I live in Texas, but that doesn't mean I'm always in the mood for Texas music. This will be…

We're in a tough spot because my wife has struggled with chronic respiratory infections and is in the high-risk patient population. But our youngest has special needs and remote learning can'…

I disagree that people even care if they are employees or contractors of Apple. There are way too many questions here: 1. Was this really only a problem of accidentally captured audio? 2. Why did this…

Haven't followed YC closely in a while. Has anyone compiled objective data on how it's trending and the success of the program YoY?

I was wondering about that. I owed a Dodge in the 90s and was amazed to see Dodge today at the top of the list. I was ready to consider either that my "never again" philosophy to the brand n…

It's not even a website now. It just a wall that begs you repeatedly to download the damn app. I don't want the stupid app. You just want better tracking.

I agree, though sites like CNN do work really hard to make the ads look just like their other articles. It's similar to how advertising on search has become so much less distinct from organic res…

You should get double points!

Been realizing how the global pandemic is exposing what a complete and utter disaster advertising supported journalism has become on the web. It's really now a race to the bottom--even the larges…

I really like this Jacob Riis quote that the NBA Spurs have posted in the locker room: "When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred tim…

Elevated railways like monorails aren't more widespread because of the added expense around elevated track and especially elevated stations. Somehow, you've got to get folks up and down from…
