Right, and how would you further verify “the person paying for your subscription”?

If oauth makes an authenticity claim, it should be true. Saying it's the same user when it's not is bad, clearly. in other words: Google could make a more accurate authenticity claim than they currently do. This problem would be w

I think it's more like there's more surface area to forget when you have humans handling so many concerns, and it's not likely the part that's changed the most so it's a likely candidate for being "pushed out o

It seems like that's the point of the story -- they were willing to tip well, and received bad service. If it came after, then drivers would have a reason to make sure food was delivered fast and efficiently.

obviously drivers would want to know it, but is that good for everyone involved? It would make more of an auction but should it even be an auction?

The ligatures are really interesting, but at a glance I process them so much slower than the raw characters, especially the ones that change the graphical semantics such as <= vs ≤. Does anyone have experience getting used to these and 1

Yeah, but what about "zoom and enhance"? :) Seriously, sure, 4K is enough for output but who says it's enough for input? As long as sensors keep getting better, the industry will keep finding ways to take advantage of it u

All of that statistical analysis was actually a bit silly, because I've never heard the "typo" argument as a reason for email grammar validation[1]. Sounds like a straw man. It didn't need to be disproven. The conclusi

It sounds to me like the point is that the market could be much larger if the transaction value were clear to consumers. In the current app store, with the methods that consumers are used to spending money on their phones, for whatever reas

I agree with you that this is what the law seems to think (being overly broad), but not if you are arguing this is sensical. In other words, yes, the WSJ does intend to only give Google access to their content, and not the general public. B

Where did this title come from? Not only is it not the title of the post in question, but it's quite inaccurate -- the article doesn't even come close to claiming that anything "almost killed" the doodle. With that said

Indeed, some the most beneficial exchanges to observe are outright arguments.[1] When no one disagrees, no idea is truly tested. This reminds me of pg's "What you can't say" essay[2]. We may be able to identify areas w
