Excellent question. They seemed to be careful not to say, but I'm predicting it will be session storage variables or browser storage variables (both of which already exist). So it's basically just a similar (but not identical) technology with a different name.

Some great advice and words of wisdom in here from a woman who has been through so much and accomplished so much in her lifetime.

Reuters has managed to make a simple headline confusing.... Betting on credit cards? "Visa in 1st place, Mastercard comes in 2nd....." I think instead they mean "Britain bans paying bets by credit card to fight gambling addiction."

Until I read this comment, I was thinking "why would anyone want a phone that small?!" Note to self: Never buy a used one of these phones.

Noooo! The issue for me is the lack of good alternatives to Firefox. All of the Chrome-based browsers (even the open source varieties) have a ridiculous number of settings that default to extremely poor privacy. As a result, it takes me forever to set up a Chrome-based browser to the privacy settings I want. By contrast, Firefox makes it super-easy in just a few clicks to get the settings to what I want. For someone who re-installs their operating system every couple of years such as myself, this makes a bigger difference than you might think. I actually don't even HAVE a Chrome-based browser installed on my machine at the moment, for exactly this reason.

Also, I think it's important to distinguish inefficient code, bloat, and helpful abstractions for other humans to read (separate things in themselves) from important features. For example, I feel that there shouldn't be so much of a focus on lean code that important but non-end-user-visible things like security features are omitted or weakened.

Yeah, I don't care how realistic it LOOKS, it's the taste that matters more. I'm sure they did a lot to make it taste good too, but I agree the combo sounds weird.

Yeah, I personally don't find the idea appealing of putting a cumbersome pair of goggles on my head. I did like the analysis they did and how they interviewed people and did a well-researched piece. Good journalism, and I can't see myself doing VR anytime soon.

That's pretty depressing. The article shows that a major issue is the skyrocketing cost of housing. Even those who have managed to get a job immediately out of college are still not financially ready for home ownership at the age that their parents were able to buy a first home.

Will it be sucked away by a black hole?

I don't quite understand how they have a material that can even record this temperature (let alone produce it) without melting. I would have liked to see The Verge explain this in layman's terms to us, but they didn't do so.

Yes, and also the knowledge that astronaut's lives depended on the integrity of these suits. When you think that one tiny hole could wind up killing the astronaut... that is scary stuff.

We get those same notices too!! And throw them in the trash also! What's the bet that they send out a new bunch of these in the New Year?! They seem to think just cos its a new year, ppl will somehow want to run back to those cable companies that treated them badly. Um, no.

I literally thought this article was a joke or parody until I read it. I cannot believe this! It's crazy. It's news that actually sounds faker than fake news, but is actually real (scarily enough).

"most repairable in years" does not necessarily actually mean fully repairable. And the article says that Mac is probably trying to get ahead of right-to-repair legislation, as opposed to a sudden desire to do something useful for the consumer.

100% agree. Way too many "hidden costs". And I bet they jack up the price after 1 year. Ultimately, it's too little, too late. If they want to retain customers, treat them decently from the start. Otherwise they will lose the customer's trust. We cut the cord and have never looked back since.

Fascinating, and also horrific that Google would fire her without even explaining WHY what she did was a security risk. It was great to get a first-person account of this.

This was so eye-opening! A fascinating read. I highly recommend it. It shows how trackers are telling the truth of what's happening. I was cynical enough to think no-one would be held accountable, but actually, people were.
