This is awesome. I've used a number of apps where the PWA is better than their native counterpart. I want more people to use this technology.

It sounds like an Internet equivalent of a Nielsen box?

What does AMP have to do with anything? The fine article is about flagging potential URL homograph attacks. It's a reasonable thing for a browser to do, since those attacks are incredibly hard to spot.

I don't know why Wired clickbaited the headline like this.

Oh man, if this could get things like Signal Desktop off of Electron, I would be so happy...

Electron apps are pretty miserable in general.

The cement tiles around Building 17 at Microsoft are actually like a physical graveyard. So many dead products! The 90's CD-ROM multimedia era generated a lot of dead-end franchises.

I could see this seriously effing with software jobs. Even if a company intends to keep their noses squeaky clean, every developer hired becomes an additional risk. Companies will try to control more of the process from the top down (and that works out great LOL) and they'll try to do more with less. Or GTFO of the country.

Some services use ultrasonic pairing, like (IIRC) Google Play Movies on Roku.

Too bad Edge doesn't support Safe Browsing mode. IIRC the API is publicly available too; MS doesn't want to swallow its pride and implement a client for it.

Stability is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS priority #1 in an operating system!

I'm pretty sure this is how ChromeOS' update system works.

He said that he was going to get professional help. I doubt that a dose of empathy would take off his edge. I'm expecting that he'll come back a much more effective leader.

It might just be a security measure, but tinfoil hats are fun...

Kind of surprised of the lack of redundancy, especially for their first party products. Shouldn't they be deploying to more than one failure zone?

A very bizarre set of reaction tweets, was Terry big among the alt-right/4chan crowds?

It was very sad to witness his condition deteriorating over the past months.
