Not sure why this is greyed out because it's a fair question. I think the difference is that this recent set of actions (ignoring Ron Paul at the moment because we don't know what has actually happened here yet) has only come afte

Sort of. The investigation is because there may well be a competition issue here, where Google is leveraging its dominant position in browser to the benefit of its ad business, removing the ability for its competitors to compete. Google ide

The vaccine was developed prior to the end of the transition agreement, and the UK already had protocols for approving vaccines before rest of the EU (see Pfizer). What's this got to do with Brexit?

Some of the charts could do with an explanation of what they are showing. For example, what is a ‘like ratio’ and what do the axis of that green line indicate?

You can conditionally style elements based on an input checkbox's `checked` state. A label element can also toggle an input checkbox's `checked state`, but contain whatever HTML you want. Put the two together and you can do intera

It seems fairly short sighted after the last decade to not assume there is also a military, state, or data collection side to a tech startup's business case. There are definitely applications for this in all those sectors, the onus sho

And media engagement is based on an opaque set of factors that just so happen to give top authority to Google sites.

That's clearly a minor inconvenience.

Which is bizarre. It's a single market – there's differences, sure, but every tiny phone manufacturer seems to be able to launch across the continent, how does Google still not manage it 5 years in?

Metal Gear Solid 5 remains one of the most fun games I played this generation. The storyline is dumb even by MGS standards, but the gameplay is absolutely phenomenal. Every feature just clicks together. It also manages to avoid, for the mos

I think it's just a bug prone implementation. For example, I see exactly what I imagine you can see in Gmail etc where it's possible to switch between work and personal. In calendar? Nothing. I agree the camera thing does not soun

I still raise an eyebrow whenever Apple pushes running iOS apps on Mac as a big plank of its desktop strategy. SwiftUI is still incomplete, badly documented, and a bit of an arse to work with. A shame, because it has the potential to be rea

If you've been warned that what you're doing is enabling others to violate copyright and continue to do so, then in a lot of jurisdictions yes. Same reason torrent trackers keep getting closed down.
