The problem is entirely due to the labor and compensation for mechanics. The Mechanics get a shit proposition. If you are smart, you do not do it. Exhibit A, mechanics are paid a fraction of revenue but are 100% responsible for warranty. Imagine if you shipped a bug, you are told to work without pay to fix it. That is what a mechanic does.
Can somebody please tell me what is the business play behind The Browser Company. It has always seemed very suspicious to me, well-funded, not making money, and now this
Same as Edge & Chrome - primarily to funnel users to web pages, which in turn powers engagement/searches & ads. Once you have enough users on a browser, the business play is ad revenue.
They don't directly, but they are the major source of ad revenue for search engines & content, since they drive both the search and page view traffic. Besides regular browsing, examples of browser features that drive ad revenue include search suggestions in the address bar, and the browser homepage (Edge defaults to msn content, used to just show msn.com earlier).
I agree with you as well, but this is a major example of how, despite this ideal, something like this can sweep up so many people that would otherwise never interact with a system like this. People who don't know who SBF is, never heard of Hacker News, who don't understand crypto, getting convinced to put money into this by, say, a younger relative. It is a real side-effect of this thing existing on this scale on a planet populated by humans.
People don't go mass free-climbing because it isn't something you do by accident. The danger is obvious. But this danger is abstract, and the ease of entering this type of system can happen with just a few clicks from the comfort of your home. And getting dollar signs in your eyes is a very psychologically influential pull.
Surely someone here either knows a FB insider or is one, and could anonymously give a realistic description from the inside on what "creepy information" exists for the average user. And yet I haven't seen such a description. Is this because FB is simply too large and complicated for any person to really know what is tracked to any useful degree?
It's not false, I have this same problem right now. I have mail.google.com opened in a Safari tab. When the tab is open and In Activity Monitor, I see: Memory 1.2 GB, Real Memory 500 MB, VM Compressed 260 MB. When I switch away focus, Memory drops to 900 MB. The Gmail web app is a RAM hog in Safari.
I have a background in computational linguistics from a good university, and then I got sidetracked by life for the last decade. What real experience did you look for that was a good signal?
