Does Chrome support automatically clearing cookies at shutdown yet? I seem to remember it didn't but I haven't used it recently.

Edit: I searched for it, and it seems they have added the feature, but maybe not the related feature of clearing browsing history at shutdown.

If you build on someone else's platform, the best case is you get to be a sharecropper and can make money as long as you don't make so much that your platform-betters get jealous.

The more typical case is this, where you get to spend your time and money doing real-world R&D and discovery of what works for them, for free.

This is great - the `SameSite=lax` attribute is arguably how cookies should have worked in the first place, and I'm quite pleased that it's an existing RFC and not a proprietary change being done just in Chrome. Hopefully other browsers follow suit.

What worries me is the vague commitment to stop browser fingerprinting - not a lot of detail there and I'm fearful that useful features might be getting crippled. I don't think I'm as convinced that browser fingerprinting is as big of an issue as CSRF (prevented by the cookie changes here). Time will tell I suppose.
At least for my own country, if you buy advertising from Google, you pay 0% VAT because it's not a local purchase. With a local company there's 18% VAT. The local companies are starting the competition at a huge disadvantage.

An even playing field is a healthier market, without megacorps that can run at a loss for decades to crush out any chance competition in a field.

This question is probably answered literally more than a hundred times in this comments section!

We have a huge fleet of cars, trucks, planes and ships that are all very carbon-positive. We also have a huge amount of existing infrastructure for delivering fuel to these things.

Sure, cars and trucks could go electric, but large airliners probably never can, and it's difficult for ships. But even for cars it will take decades to fully transition to electric. An economically viable, carbon neutral fuel that could be brought to market and scaled up quickly would be a huge win for the transition. Especially if it's cleaner burning (no/very low sulfur, aromatics etc.).
It's not regardless of context. It's because of context.

Legislation and legislatures have already been in charge of your privacy, Google is just acknowledging that they have no interest in coming up with any real solutions that limit profitability.

They're agreeing with you in this step of the PR dance, then after the heavy lobbying they're already administering, they will attempt to de-fang any potential privacy legislation, then point out government incompetence while calling for a right to self-regulate.
I don't know why this is being downvoted. I work for an ESP, and this is an accurate statement. Whatever you think about marketing emails, you probably don't want gmail to simulate click traffic. Trust me.
You really trust the government to both be competent enough to legislate technology and not be beholden to private interests?

The last thing I want is more government power.
Legislation is reactive rather than proactive, slow in its reaction, easily corrupted by lobbyists, and likely contains loopholes anyway. Not to mention that competent regulation acts as a barrier to entry for competitors.

Sad to see so much gaslighting regarding processor speed. Of course SoC performance matters! The Verge has already reported a Pixel 3a “feels noticeably slower” than a Pixel 3. For years Android devices have lagged Apple’s mobile offerings and most desktop machines by up to 40% not only when it comes to benchmarks, but also in real world and JavaScript performance (…because it’s not like JS is used much these days is why you would care about a faster processor).

Also, this reeks of elitism: the technorati crowd in SF who can afford such things get to have flagship devices for their “very specific, highly demanding applications.” Meanwhile, “most users” of the most revolutionary invention of our lifetime only need to use their phones for “email and instant messaging.” Filthy casuals. (Can’t believe the comment actually went there).

Call the Pixel 3a what it is: Alphabet’s product marketing teams do an absolutely terrible job leveraging their brand(s) to explain their device offerings or even why they’re making their own hardware. As such, consumer confusion leads to laggard sales of a flagship device.

Trying to leverage what they have, Google introduces the Pixel 3a to take on what looks to be a growing midrange market. If it works, more power to ‘em, but let’s focus on facts and price points, not vague assertions about who needs what level of performance masquerading as questions from throwaway accounts.
I've gone from considering MS outright evil to being unconcerned about being their customer.

Way back when, I had two Android phones and really liked them. I switched to Apple phone, tablet, and watch because of privacy.

The title is a little strange, almost like saying you don’t need those luxury Apple devices to get privacy, but that is wrong. For the mass market, I think Apple is the company that is least bad on privacy. I use some Google services like GSuite, Play Books, and Play Movies heavily but I cringe a little.

Not counting GCP, just consumer offerings: if Apple provided a good email service that supported custom domains, I would just use them for everything except deployment platforms like GCP and AWS.

So the only huge company not royally screwing over their dev ecosystem is MS?
> that effectively reduces their supply

No, importantly, it does not reduce the supply. If you want to apply terms like this, pay attention to how they are defined.

Access is not supply, and supply is not access.

There is an immense supply of housing in Vancouver, and as much as is possible, AirBnB-facilitated demand (although it's really a tiny fraction of the total demand) puts pressure on the market to increase supply (even if the circumstances make that unlikely to succeed greatly). Whether people living in Vancouver are buying their housing through rental agreements, purchases, or short term rentals like AirBnB, the supply will only tend to increase (just not enough that some of it is "cheap").

For an example of high supply with poor access, just look at the tremendous number of low-quality developments across China with few or no legitimate residents.
Well, sure, it's not rare, but if they are right, this is catching the process in its earliest stages, which would be a rare occurance.

I am willing to reduce morality to mere pragmatism. After all what's more than just experience, shaped by such pragmatism?

And I think all moral systems are essentially built around avoiding pain. Even if you allow for supernatural beings and follow the tracks of some religion - it's still a concern over well being, except in the after-life (for which we may or may not have much evidence for ...).
This would cause serious negative consequences for users (in rather a lot of the world) on slow or bandwidth-limited internet connections.

/me waves. Nice to meet you. I'm assuming I don't have this certain view towards woman. Hopefully, you can now remove your "exclusively" tag (absolutes seldom hold). I grew up with a strong woman figure in my mom and stories of my grandma. The top students in most my classes through high school were girls. I grew up _knowing_ that girls are smarter than guys. Full stop. I had to get to college and take education classes to learn about systemic issues affecting woman negatively in education. So my unconscious bias is that woman are more intelligent than their male counterparts, and I have to work to keep calibrated towards "people are just people, and guys can be just as smart as girls." And I use the word "lady" a lot. It never even occurred to me that it could hold negative connotations. Other words I use: fellas, folks, y'all, kiddo, boss, guys. Lastly, your "the red flag is based on lived experience, not an abstraction" -- beware of confirmation bias. When you look for something, sometimes you find it more often.

Edit: to further clarify, when I use "lady" it quite literally means the same as "guy" with the caveat that the gender is taken into account. "You ladies going out for lunch?" is the same as "You guys going out for lunch?" with the difference being there would be no males in the first group. "I interviewed a lady" is the same in my head as "I interviewed a guy."

When apps look and behave the same, it allows users to bring knowledge from one app to another, gradually developing into expertise.

The Mac has a profound depth of power-user acceleration: keyboard navigation, keyboard shortcuts, modifier keys, drag and drop, context menus, type-select, arrow keys, etc. Learning this stuff isn't wasted because it applies to every app (or at least that's the vision).

Controls look consistent, which signals to the user that their knowledge applies here.

Mobile obviously needs different UI paradigms, and yet it doesn't really have much of anything. There's still no good convention for basic operations like Undo. And part of the reason is that every app has to be a snowflake.

> Don't we want companies to outsource the solution to legislation? I'd rather have Congress than Google be in charge of deciding how much privacy everyone deserves.

Until the legislation is written by the industry and doesn't rein them in one bit but imposes large compliance burdens on smaller competitors and further entrenches the incumbents.

The actual solution isn't corporations or governments, it's people being in control of their own stuff. Google and Facebook can't invade your privacy if your data is on your own device and not their servers.

Much like facebook’s idea of privacy, they are conflating your actual privacy with themselves not selling your raw data. Eg. Just because they track you, and have access to all your data, doesn’t mean they’re violating your privacy - the line only occurs if they sell that information directly.

> When someone compiles a game to webassembly it's seen as an accomplishment, right?

Yes, but browsers do not have game engine APIs. They do however have a layout engine, text editing and rendering, accessibility features, and a very long etc. Basically anything you need to make an app with text, images, buttons, etc.

Don't me wrong, I'm sure Flutter for the web is a technical marvel.

> Some markets are more sensitive to download size than others and you need to understand your users to know what you can get away with.

So you are arguing that Flutter for the web is a nice bonus you get but not really intended to be a general use case web dev framework.

If this is the case, it seems the Flutter team is missing a huge opportunity by not being a truly universal UI toolkit which it could be if it used the DOM instead of reimplementing everything.
For a long time these were the main choices and the third way had very little library support and generally required you to role your own, which were generally crappy and inefficient. Even when "lightweight ORM's" were first gaining traction their composability was quite poor (and some ways it still is) and would often leave the denormalisation part to the application.

Even though I think this third way should be the "default" way to write an application now there's an awful lot of code left over from when an ORM was better.
I feel like a jerk reiterating this point from a cousin post but just a heads up, but that's not really what this post is about. Maybe I'm being too literal and I'm missing the connection you're drawing.

Consensus in voting systems is concerned with selecting either a single winner or a ranked order from a set of candidates given the diverse preferences from a pool of voters. It concerns the protocol by which they communicate their preferences (vote favorite, pairwise, ranked preferences, etc.) and the protocol by which they're combined to pick a winner (consensus) from the population. The focus is on minimizing how objectionable the winning candidate is over all voters.

Distributed consensus is more concerned with agreement of a proposition between set of identical nodes (i.e. no preferences) that communicate by sending messages over an asynchronous, lossy, reorderable, channels. The focus here is about mitigating weakness of the communications channels and provide stronger guarantees beyond that.

Are developers in San Francisco really worth the cost? According to Paysa data on Lyft the average Software Engineer makes 263k and the average Senior Software Engineer makes 354k (I believe these numbers are total comp). If I'm reading the earnings correctly then $506,206,000 of stock compensation is going towards R&D. Unless you are hiring someone into a highly specialized role I don't see how these numbers make sense. Are these developers really worth multiples of developers in other cities?

You don't need letter buttons. You can have a regular text box in an iframe and submit the form with the text.

I actually remember websites doing exactly that years ago.

Some would display the chat like here, by never closing the connection, as described in the repo. And another trick was to just send a refresh header (or use a meta tag) to automatically reload the iframe displaying the chat every $x seconds. The latter one was iirc more prominent because you could do it on any web host with PHP and MySQL as it doesn't require any long living processes.
The fact that ride sharing companies aren't making money does not mean that drivers are not getting screwed. They are. Fundamentally, the service is being sold below market value in hopes of pricing the competition out of the market.
