It is probably Chrome Enterprise which lets you lock down, for example, what extensions people are allowed to install. There is a legit reason for organizations to want to standardize on one browser and to lock it down (as browser extensions are a major source of infiltration these days).
Looks like a useful product. Does it support Facebook and Google My Business reviews?
I have a quote that I put in my office in a prominent place. It says "Work done in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship." I really believe that and try to make my work a force of good. I feel too much work is a bad thing, but too little unfulfilling work is also not good.
Some people feel that if they were sufficiently rich, they will never work. I think one source of this view are the health effects of the sedentary lifestyle associated with tech, and I respect people who say that. It's all to common for people to be overworked in tech, so I understand people who want to exit for that reason too.
Still others, don't really enjoy work at all and would exit the workforce if given the opportunity. I respect that view too but it's not for me.
Because even if I had unlimited financial; resources I NEED to still work. I believe work, especially the kind that you feel is helping people and results in deep concentration called flow is beneficial for my mental health.
If I stopped working and entered a perma-vacation, I would go out of my mind. There are only so many golf courses, and so many days you can wake up late, before I would be bored out of my mind. When I go on vacation, I enjoy it and need it. But after about a week, I start to get bored and to miss work. I need a challenge.
There is a nice documentary called Born Rich by Jamie Johnson (one of the heirs to the Johnson & Johnson empire's wealth) in which he films the sons and daughters of billionaires (it's on YouTube). What I found fascinating is the happiest ones seemed to be those that applied themselves by working or in one case applying themselves in academia all the way to a PhD.
Even if I stopped my current start-up, I think I would find myself spending a few months catching up on technologies I didn't have the chance to catch up on, and imagine I would just start a new start-up after that.
I read the article but I could find nothing in the article that gives credit to Piotr Indyk, the inventor of Locality Sensitive Hashing and the math behind it. Give credit where it is due!
Definitely a case of prosecutorial overreach. The poor kid felt so hopeless and overwhelmed that he took his own life. Very sad story.
Not commonly known. But Swartz invented JSON. Every time you use it, you can thank him.
Because most COVID vaccines require 2 doses, and greater demand for the flu shot, health systems could be overwhelmed with 5.1 times the demand for injections compared to a regular flu season.

The paid ransom, will unfortunately embolden the criminals to strike again in search of the next big payday. If it worked once, it could work again.
Nice app. It could also be used to help the medical students who's exams have all been cancelled. I would like to help if this is open-sourced.
One feature request: my Microsoft surface has a front and back camera. For some reason, the app started with the read camera on. Would be nice if there was a way to pick which camera you want, if there are multiple cameras on the device.
