I didn't make a claim if they were trustworthy. Google has leveraged their properties to force people to trust them with the rest of the internet, regardless of if you think they are trustworthy or not.

That's a different issue, and doesn't address what I wrote.

"If you are building products that intends to connect to a Google property moving forward you need to at a minimum include the above Root Certificates."

The foundation of a more secure web apparently requires you to trust Google with the entire internet, using their properties as leverage to force it to be so.

I've noticed this just starting to happen to me much more aggressively in the last few days. Now the Gmail app will pop up that same modal box in your screenshot every time I make the Gmail app have focus (from the home screen or from the square-button-menu), and every time I open any email.

None of the Google apps respect me. The maps app makes me disagree to giving enhanced location tracking every time I turn on location. The music player has a big bar constantly at the top that says "Downloaded Only," which if I accidentally tap it turns off downloaded only mode and kicks me to the store. If I leave location on accidentally, the camera app will sometimes use location to guess where I took a picture and ask me to "share" that. I don't use Google search, but I can't remove the giant search bar from the main screen or the shortcut if I accidentally hold the menu button.

Those are the only Google apps I use, and they all disrespect me. I only use a bit of Google but it's exhausting to even use just that bit.

4. Also missed two other Starbucks in University Village, including one of the busiest in the world.

Thanks Louis :) I've put so many hours on NGG it's ridiculous. Childhood and current favorite, great full-package game at its best. Set it at a steep pitch with no outlane post and Fire Down Middle on. Full throttle, ignore the wall!

They are fascinating :)

Also, flipper EOS switches are leaf switches, not microswitches.

Through the early 90s the flipper button switches were also leaf switches. In the early 90s some time after the introduction of the Fliptronics system by Williams/Bally, they switched to using a plastic opto-interrupter and U-shaped opto(s) rather than a leaf switch.

Games with upper flippers often used ganged leaf switches and later dual optos to allow independent "staged" control of lower and upper flippers on the same side of the machine. That allows you to press the flipper button in half way to engage only the lower flipper, and then all the way to also engage the upper flipper(s).

I think of a time slicer as an rtos - a simple one :)

And Visual Studio.

What does the article say to advance "single page apps" as the "best thing ever" over other application models that use a clean interface and separation of concerns between client and service?
