Another theory is this was meant to launch with the Apple announcement on Tuesday.

Wow, I always wondered why the Access Reader Pro had such a weird design - it was just a repurposed product from a completely different catagory.

gstatic.com - the backbone of the internet.

Just marvel at how much data/metadata they get from that little trick when multiplied by millions users.

I just realized, they (or a government mandate) could force a redirect under specific circumstances to a site under google.com, and if they're using the browser engine for the request, they'd get the cookies of that user as soon as they get on the internet. Maybe even trigger an exploit in the browser.

This is the most fantastic way to target and exploit any single Android user anywhere in the world that I've ever heard of. Automatic, hard to avoid, easy to implement, and the user has no idea.

At first, I thought this can't be true because, surely, Google marks its cookies as HTTPS-only, right? So I checked, and turns out about half the cookies google.com has in my browser are not HTTPS-only. In fact, the HTTPS-only cookies it does have seem to be the same set of cookies, just with a '__Secure-' prefix. Similarly, about half (different set) of the cookies JS accessible.

It will be on Game Pass which is for Windows and Xbox. Possibly xCloud too enabling it to potentially run on mobile platforms?

At Netflix’s size with a need for payment processing redundancy I imagine they would store and vault it.

I'd disagree with the upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4:

> Though ISO/IEC 30170:2012 doesn’t specify details of the Integer class, Ruby had two visible Integer classes: Fixnum and Bignum. Ruby 2.4 unifies them into Integer. All C extensions which touch the Fixnum or Bignum class need to be fixed.

https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2016/12/25/ruby-2-4-0-rele...

How many C extensions does the average Ruby developer maintain?

The question should be: how many C extensions does the average Ruby developer have in their Gemfile. And my guess would ranging from a few to many.

But we haven’t seen the full report, right?

Now we have. Is it in there?

It's easier for AWS for accommodate all their customer's needs (MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres) and reduce the cost of switching than it is to convince them to rewrite an application or legacy application to leverage say DynamoDB. The benefit of DynamoDB is great, but it's just one slice of the computing pie.

Where was the outrage when they implemented the MySQL and Postgres interfaces on Aurora?

They're basically killing a company behind an open-source project.

Behind a _formerly_ open-source project.

It’s also them realizing people are willing to switch to Google for managed Kubernetes over using mediocre ECS.
