Insulting microsoft is grist for the CP mill.
You don't even work for them, any more, so taking it personally seems a strange thing to do.

I thought those remarks were addressed at me. That's what it looked like. I'm sorry I misread you.
As far as Microsoft, I used to work for them. In fact, that's where I got my start in IT professionally.
I think it was the "you missed out on a lot" and "you poor thing" at the end that threw me.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

On the plus side, why would a pessimist want to live longer?

Google: Banning tracking cookies "jeopardizes the future of the vibrant Web." "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

I'm stuck trying to wrap my head around the fact that they believe that advertising makes the web "vibrant".
Oh, what am I saying?
They don't believe it for a moment. They're just committing pride, greed, and gluttony.
It's a good thing that they do no evil -- well, let's agree that there's no solid proof in this one article that they commit the other four deadly sins, anyway.
... But I'm sure that there will be more articles.

It doesn't matter what sort of clever idea Google comes up with. When it became clear that the spyvertizing industry only pretended to be cooperating with consumer advocates long enough for the govt to forget that they were threatening mandatory privacy protection it was clear a state of war existed between them and everyone using the web. From that point my willingness to cooperate with anyone serving less intrusive ads evaporated and instead of only manually blocking highly disruptive (audio, animation, or overlay) ads, I started using 3rd party feeds to block everything. Nothing short of non-opt in tracking being made illegal and violators to include all the executive management of offending companies being jailed will convince me to relent. They've poisoned the well. Let them die from it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Google is just waiting it out until it has 95% browser market share, then it will implement a huge raft of privacy features.....that are of course simply ignored when it comes to google-related services.

The article is based on an incorrect premise.
Software Engineering grads are bleeding useless to large companies, too.

In the software industry, the product development cycle is broken. It’s costly. It’s laborious. And too often, product teams fail to meet their customers’ needs. Who keeps breaking the software development?

tl;dr: I like agile.
... But you have to spend ages and ages going through his really low-grade text to get to that point (which he doesn't actually state).
It's small wonder that adobe never gets anything useful done, if their "big brains" like this ramble on eternally without ever actually making their point.

My experience is that consulting companies, especially, over promise. Ironically, the same could be said of the article's author.

A couple of weeks back, researchers from cybersecurity firm Eclypsium revealed that almost all the major hardware manufacturers have a flaw that can allow malicious applications to gain kernel privileges at the user level, thereby gaining direct access to firmware and hardware.
