A breakdown that shows me how much of that money goes to pay employees toilet paper and various taxes is nice, but ultimately a total irrelevance unless I can use them for deductions etc.

This one is so obvious that it's surprising that the rule is not applied in all developed countries. On airbnb, the daily rate is shown but it can be easily doubled after cleaning and airbnb fees are added to the original price.
That speed means the SSD caches a huge part of the files, then writes it physically at its (slower) pace - right?
That means two things:
1) if you happen to write many files (eg tree copy) or a few very big files, the speed will go down quickly to something like the "regular" SSDs
2) if you copy a very big file, and power goes down while you think it is copied (but is still in buffer), then you lost one file. (power down on a laptop is a rare event I must say, esp. on a Macbook)
How much has your system? Chrome reserves some space if it's not used. Try to load a load of crap aside of Chrome, and you'll see (or do a quick malloc(big))
Google developers are among the best in the world. A browser is a very complex program, and some algorithms might gain time-complexity by allowing more space-complexity. This is probably what happens here, Chrome is still performant, but in order to keep the same speed it had to sacrifice some 10-13% memory more.
Given how self-confident and satisfied were Tim Cook and Apple teams when Apple Maps was released 6 years ago [ they even got rid of the Google Maps app ] while it was a bugged, inaccurate and feature-lacking disaster, I wouldn't rejoice too soon.
16 GB is quite a lot, and while Chrome is greedy it doesn't take that much (less than 500MB with quite a few tabs opened). The 10-13% applies to Chrome memory, not the system memory..
Funny people talk about simulation à la Matrix. If really "someone" created this kind of "simulation" our relatively very limited human brain capacity would be far from comprehending whatever it consists of.
Not sure this is the problem (ads are not too intrusive in Google Maps(]). The real problem is sites and apps so badly written that make millions of API calls thoughtlessly.
Turns out their app, which people have open for planning routes, and sitting waiting for busses/trains/etc, is written insanely and was re-requesting EVERYTHING every 5 seconds while the app was running, so they were generating millions of API calls
This. Google step is to prevent incompetently written apps to make their servers crawl.

Do the recent versions ensure an encrypted skype to skype call is a peer to peer communication without transiting through MS servers?

SSD speed is the iPhone X "animoji" of the Mac. A selling point that is not one.
The good news is that most popular games do not run on a Mac.
Well, you can install Linux on those machines.

The browser team has to be good (too complex to let web devs in charge).

Is this related to TFA, or maybe you plan to watch it in Chrome, and you wonder if your RAM is enough?

Don worry, new Apple Map coming soon

Seriously 10-13% to have a reliable fix while still having a fast Javascript, I'm ok with that.

One reason could be that the person answering the interview has unlimited moderation points for that story only..
Good. Bitch should get back in the kitchen where she belongs.
WHy? Is her computer installed in the kitchen?
Except if Chrome takes already 90%
Well, there is still competition as who will have their fixed CPUs first..
Too bad AMD is also affected (Spectre), otherwise Intel would have had more incentives to make new CPU earlier.
