Typically in the past whenever the music industry talks about compensation for the music writers or performers they are not speaking about the writers or performers of the music, but the music companies that own the rights to the music. Now I see a new word, "creators," and I wonder if anything has changed, or has the music industry once again purchased Congress to increase the income of the music industry while giving a mere pittance or nothing at all to the artists who write and perform the music.
Yet takes years to earn back. Google has lost too much trust of late. While this effort is a step in the right direction, it looks like too little, too late.
... Why do we measure in lines of code? Serious question....
Some metrics have as their base the number of lines of code. In and of itself, LoC is pretty meaningless. Other views which use LoC, however, can be quite useful.
What's the rate of bug occurrence per 10k LoC in the Linux kernel? I'm less concerned about additional kernel bloat than I am about additional kernel bugs.

...Comically, the company suggests two alternatives -- use Ethernet or buy a Wi-Fi adapter. Look, while those are technically accurate options, if someone is still using dial-up connectivity with their TiVo in 2018, they probably don't have broadband access....
The summary writer, in an effort to try to make himself look knowledgeable, overlooks an important aspect --- the TiVo customer may still be using dial-up instead of the Internet access available in the house because of one simple reason --- dial-up works and has worked. It just worked, so why fix it by switching it over to the Internet?
... Think about it. "damn I wish this screen was smaller"...
I have thought about it.
For me a slightly larger bag is far less expensive than the purchase of a new shiny object. The "I don't want a larger bag" seems to me more like you're trying to find a justification, any justification, to buy a new shiny object.:) But that's just me.

... focusing far too much on what to call the process, and focusing not enough upon what problems the client needs to solve. Perhaps the move to "faux-agile" (as you call it) is really more of a move towards actually solving the problems the customers have, and less of a desire to make sure the process to achieve those solutions has the correct name.
To me, there appears to be very little, if anything, to Intel's credit in this whole CPU disaster. Performance instead of security. What a mess. How long will it be before there's an Intel CPU that is not inherently insecure? Will a whole new architecture need to be designed?
Just pick one and stay with it. This endless debate is wasting too much time --- time which could be far better spent trying to understand why we park cars on driveways.

Before we start talking about reducing the 40-hour work week, let's start talking about and acting upon how to get the current work week to 40 hours.

Yes. My point exactly. I cannot trust google to develop AMP for my benefit, they are developing it for their benefit and exploitation.

...Because it's LinkedIn it's super easy to slip past any and all defenses against this spam.....
No email from LinkedIn domain(s) is allowed. The excessive amounts of spam I received is the reason why.
...It's for ChromeOS not Chrome....
oops, my bad. Thanks for the correction! (though I still think browsers are getting too complex. JavaScript, I mean, what are they thinking...)
... but with the combination of Windows file sharing and a browser, this looks like a security problem just waiting to happen. There is too much complexity being added to browsers, too many attack surfaces. At what point is it not possible to assure proper levels of security?
So even they're ignorant as to what causes storm surge.
What do you think causes a storm surge?
... it all looked real...
You need to get out more.
Now I see two results. :)
Is that really the perception Microsoft wants to convey here?
... was supposed to have the result of me being presented with ads for items I am interested in. Here it looks as if Amazon is instead trying to trick its customers into buying something that may not represent what the customer is really interested in.
... then google should do something about all the slow trackers on the websites, including the painfully slow site known as google fonts.
... that google's interests are aligned with my interests. Currently, I see little, if any, benefit, and a whole lot of downside. I'll pass.

What is so great about bezel-less? What is the functional improvement?

Yeah... been there. :(

Ask the person specifying "every day" what he or she means by that expression.
