One can also interpret the growth as a failure from product p.o.v though it drives views. With AI summaries being hit or miss, we may say users now need to do 20% more searches to find what they are looking for. Numbers aren't always a

When AS was launched Android was the only other viable option and it is the same even today. I don't believe Google's AI products will reach and/or sustain the same dominance as Android. It is a product launched in the hype

There are city workers and occasionally homeless people who pickup trash (to salvage or sell). I'm not sure how this opinion of theirs is formed but I can assure you nobody is throwing around trash with anything remotely caste related

Isn't Android Studio based on IntelliJ and not a product developed from ground up? And Android Studio has second order revenue from the playstore. I wouldn't be even surprised if internally the AS team's financials are counte

MS online account was optional at a time but where are we now ? With MS track record, its not a question of if, but when. The outrage here will probably not stop MS but it does signal that it is not a welcome move and it hopefully stops the

I know some people frown on having multiple processes within a container but there are scenarios where it is needed. I've used both openrc and runit for that purpose and runit has been the simplest to setup and use.

Do you believe the current medical research is held back by the price limitations and if we just infuse more money, we'll find cure for many more diseases ? Even if we consider that, we'll reach the same position as today because

Doesn't it mean Google will collect the app ids of all installs on all devices whether they are signed into an account or not. I'm not naive to think its not happening today, whats probably new is them admitting to it. How long do

Yes we have banking websites but they are increasingly moving to an auth model where you have to enter an otp generated in the app but the app refuses to work on non-verified devices.

If there is an alternative software that can run on the device without going through extraordinary hoops, I may agree that it is licensed. If there is no other alternative, buying hardware and licensing software are not two different steps.

One perpetuates the other. If you have k8s, you are tempted to use microservice architecture and if you have microservices then k8s makes them look manageable. I suspect both of them will go down together if/when they do.

A diary is there for you to reflect, introspect or reminisce. It doesn't actively reinforce your bad or good thoughts. If it does, it can easily trick your mind into thinking it as validation of those negative thoughts. If someone stil
