Facebook Has Considered Profiling Its Users' Personalities and Using the Information To Sell to Employers, Government, Insurance companies, Landlords, Lawyers, Universities etc...
This is likely the main reason YouTube changed their monetization policy, contrary to the whole "YouTube is against me!" or the "YouTube is censoring me!" narrative. People were using bots and stolen/fake content etc.. to exploit their advertising platform. Unfortunately their solution couldn't distinguish between scammers and small YouTubers trying to grow their channel. But YouTube would rather play the bad guy than to admit advertising dollars were being wasted on con artists.
Is that they force you to sign up to a pointless account in the first place. There's a phone number, device ID, and a sim card. Why is this necessary? I'm prepay, and everything was fine without the idiotic accounts.
I always assumed people using Facebook didn't particularly care about what happens with their data, so I'm no sure who all of a sudden is outraged. I assumed it was way worse than this. Plus why focus on Facebook. There are data brokerage companies out there that are probably doing way creepier things than this.
Edge is not reaching popularity for one reason. Setting it as the default browser in Windows does nothing at all to help it's popularity. The first thing most people do is download Chrome or whatever browser they like. And as soon as they open that browser, it pretty much becomes their operating system. Clicking on something that loads the "default browser" rarely even happens.
Yes, the ideal is Microsoft could implement the change as described, but then add a way to change the email browser to something other than Edge (because let's be honest, "opt-in" to Edge would just be dumb). But you can also look at it this way: They just have an email app with a "built-in" browser. And maintaining the ability to use an external browser would be an added feature.
I'm not a fan of Windows but at least hear them out. Here is what was said in the blog post.
"For Windows Insiders in the Skip Ahead ring, we will begin testing a change where links clicked on within the Windows Mail app will open in Microsoft Edge, which provides the best, most secure and consistent experience on Windows 10 and across your devices. With built-in features for reading, note-taking, Cortana integration, and easy access to services such as SharePoint and OneDrive, Microsoft Edge enables you to be more productive, organized and creative without sacrificing your battery life or security. As always, we look forward to feedback from our WIP community."
I can understand the change. They are just making their mail app as consistent and seamless as possible. Opening a browser within a mail app, or any app for that matter, is pretty clunky IMO. I always thought when you click a link in Twitter on Android it is annoying. I don't think most people would mind the change and would probably prefer this behavior. If you want to use a different browser, copy the link and past it into the browser you likely already have open. Come to think of it, that's already what I do. When I have to use Windows at work, I never actually click on links within Outlook. I copy the link and paste it into the browsers I use (which is pretty much everything but Edge). I don't even change the default Browser.
And they used the term web tech right there in the summary. I'm starting to think there are people who search the internet just to find places where they can inform people that HTML and CSS aren't programming languages.
So you're not talking about this survey then, right? Because that they never called HTML a programming language. They used the term "web tech" when referring to HTML, and even titled the list "Programming, Scripting, And Markup Languages" to be clear, and they STILL get called out for calling HTML a programming language, AND the comment gets modded up. Everyone is aware of what HTML is, but yet they felt the need to add the (un)necessary specifics just because of comments like this, and they STILL get accused of not understanding basic info they probably have know for 20 years. I guess with some things, you just can't win.
They likely know what CSS is. There was just no point in making that distinction, since like you just mentioned, there is no specific rule that eliminates it from being a "programming language".
Yep, the amount of money asked by ransomware author's is priced with risk/reward in mind. The less confidence people have in recovering their the lower the price goes.
Somehow a hacker bought a bunch of viacoins and pumped the price of it by automating sell orders on people's accounts and buy orders to viacoin. Binance haullted withdrawals because of it.

Sounds like it came from the Onion!

Source? The poll is clearly about what you said it is not about.

I have an Echo Plus at home, and after one hour of trying to make it sing or say funny things the enthusiasm quickly wears off.
Nowadays I mostly use it to read the time when I'm in a hurry. That's it.
Maybe 1500 fresh engineers will result in something more useful.
This is EXACTLY why Alexa needs 1,147 people to work on her.

there is no specific rule that eliminates it from being a "programming language".
There is a in fact a difference. No one uses it as a programming languages, except for purposes of discussions such as this one.
It didn't take me long to find this:

and this:

They are using the term programming language for simplicity sake, and are not technically incorrect.
They likely know what CSS is. There was just no point in making that distinction, since like you just mentioned, there is no specific rule that eliminates it from being a "programming language".
I'll take full page static advertisements any day over the abomination going on right now that's ruining the internet.
Just ask them to come forward in person to claim them.
CodeCommit runs on AWS. So as soon as it's committed it's backed up. What am I missing?
I suggest they call it "Destroyers" update.
Just call Facebook. They track everything.
Does this update feature the ability to wake a laptop from sleep?
Yep, the amount of money asked by ransomware author's is priced with risk/reward in mind. The less confidence people have in recovering their the lower the price goes.
Plus they charge double the ransom if you only want 50% of your data.
Only get hacked by competent hackers.
