Interesting, given that just 2 days ago it was announced [0] that Intel was going to start to use AMD for some of their integrated graphics. Now they're going to complete against them in the discrete graphics space. Also, Koduri recent

It's been interesting watching SO try to monetize. I wonder: How would people feel if they went the Wikipedia way? It's obviously a very beneficial site, but not as widely applicable as Wikipedia. I personally prefer the Wikipedia

Of course things get framed to manipulate opinion. Now, I actually don't mean this with any snark, but how is what you're doing any different? This tax credit applies to plenty of vehicles sold for much less than $100,000.

I'm not too sure how I feel about this. I'm trying to battle my knee-jerk negativity about this, but I'm not sure I can come up with good reasons to. At best, I think my hopes are that IGN will be hands off and Humble will co

It isn't exactly a platform, but it sounds like you would be well served by The Theoretical Minimum [0]. The courses [1] start at classical mechanics, but the second one is QM and builds from there. They are all taught by Leonard Sussk

I did get that as well. I'm confused why this is the default. I imagine it's just the learning curve of this feature, I totally understand why they have the need to spin off certain expected-default behavior to further extensions.

I wonder about this as well. What are people finding is the best use of the default container - what opens as a new tab? Do you keep that your personal container, and opt-in to other containers like work, shopping, etc. Or do you use the de

I really like this! First time I've actually tried it out now that it's an extension. Seeing an issue with the always open in this container feature though - clicking on a YouTube link set to always open in a 'Personal'

I'm really not worried about some downvotes, but am surprised to see them. How is it not embarrassing that as much progress we have made with web standards, a major feature in one of the most popular email services is browser specific?

I was hoping to click through and see Terence Tao's name on the paper. Then I would assume it was correct. Agree with the other comments as it stands.

Interesting offering. I'm wondering how people feel about the $5 minimum? At 250GB storage and 1TB traffic, plenty of people using much less than 250GB and 1TB traffic would be better served with a pay for what you use model.
