Really, the only people who care are the "UI Mavens".

Back when Microsoft Office was "evolving" through its various incarnations, each UI change caused incredible havoc - even very UI-savvy people have a hard time finding some popular feature that's now hidden under some obscure ribbon panel. "Ain't nobody got no time for dat!".

The outstanding _feature_ (not _bug_) of the Google Docs UI is how little it has changed over the last 10-15 years. Everyone knows exactly what it can do, and how to make it do that.

I've heard it said that you can use +xyz suffixes to track who's selling your info online. That's BS, of course - every e-mail harvester has figured out ages ago that you can just strip anything '+xyz' at the end of user names. If it's a convention, it's easy to circumvent it for malicious purposes.

Yes - it's been in ad blockers like AdBlock and uBlock Origin for years now. I don't see any "AD" listings in my searches with this plugin enabled.

(Not to say that the search results themselves are not manipulated, but it does get rid of the ADs, so when I search for something about Postgres, I don't get a bunch of Oracle and MSSQL ads listed first).

Check the immediately previous top-level article before this one. It's about a "mandatory tax-prep software" that companies doing business in China were required to install. Several months after installation, the software went ahead and installed back-doors in these companies' systems, using notorious back-door software that really has no purpose except for remote control and snooping.

Given Huawei's (and several other Chinese companies') top executives and their close contacts and relationships with the PLA security apparatus, it's not an unreasonable suspicion that there might be backdoors in these systems, too.

The "debt is not cancelled" - you still owe them in some form that they are willing to accept. You may take the chance that they won't try to call in the cops to have you charged with petty larceny, but that's all it is.

But to counter that foaming-at-the-mouth drivel from "cusco" - clear-cutting of millions of acres of forests down to dust has nothing to do with any of this. No one has prevented PG&E from clearing overgrowth around their lines; they've simply decided to swallow all the funds, issue them as dividends, and pocket the massive gains from stock options, rather than spend _budgeted_ money for line maintenance.

Sounds like one.

After reading these comments, I suddenly feel young again, having been programming for "only" 33 years professionally.

awesome. From that strip, what seems to be a perfect description of our current school boards:

that this isn't real, and is all just a figment of those libbbbbrul billionaires' imaginations..

1. CapsLock. Grr.

2. The numeric keypad on 15" laptops. Why? Why?! Why?!! It causes the rest of the keys to get scrunched up and moved to unnatural positions, and positions the trackpad offset left upto 3 or 4 inches, which makes for a horrible experience for a right-handed typist. The trackpad should ALWAYS be centered.

3. But please bring back full-size Page Up/Down keys (with maybe a shift action to Begin/End). I'm looking at you, Macbook Pro! Don't run and hide..
