The gravy train, as it always does, is grinding to a halt.
If fb and google had any sense, they'd proactively stop doing evil, but, obviously, that ain't going to happen.

Many developers today feel like they’re building a rocket ship only to launch it into a black hole. They do all this work to create something great, and then never really know if it’s valuable to their customers. I'm guessing they'll have something to sell you to fix your problems
But still, interesting numbers out of the (too small) study

Microsoft once again changes definitions of Windows 10 updates, but it should make life simpler. Did they redefine an update as 'something to avoid'?

They don't need to make it easier to understand... they need to make it configurable and give the user the option to choose what he wants if he wants to.

Obviously, some people still fail to understand it.
An automated update is a process by which Microsoft proves that Microsoft owns your computer.
That's it!

I know that this supposed to be a scare story, but I can only think: "Oh, that's handy!"
Maybe that's because I see how useful something could be, before it's perverted by money-grubbing @rseholes.

There were questions raised when Amazon was promised $1.2 billion in subsidies to bring a new headquarters to New York City, and we’re asking them again today — because The Washington Post reports that Google has been using secret shell companies to nab millions in tax breaks as it expands its data centers and offices across the US. It can't be evil if it's not illegal, right?

Specially if they do pay their "fee" to the right people.

I'm past commenting on how these tech giants make a mockery of democracy by stealing the money that is supposed to support it.
We need to see prison sentences handed out. Normal people can be sent down for years for stealing paltry sums, so we need to see a few proportionately-correct decades-long sentences for amazon, google, and fb execs.
It's the only thing that will make them even consider stopping doing evil*.
* Although, if I get that executioner's job, I may be willing to expand their sentences a little.

In Spain there was a guy who got 5 years prison by stealing food to feed his family because he got scammed and additionally lost his job. In that time, there was a guy who robbed a security transport and only got 2 years, wrote a book and made a good money... Or a banker who only had to pay a fine (not sure if he at the end got in a room in a hotel low security facility) after stealing millions from their customers
I would really love to see that real justice start to be delivered to those who think they are above everyone and everything.

World wide web creator Tim Berners-Lee has long wanted to change the way we share data. His startup Inrupt is trying to make this a commercial possibility Don't worry, I'm sure people will figure out how to ruin it again

Quote: The big idea behind Solid is that, instead of a company storing all your personal data on their servers, you would keep it on your own personal data “pod”, located on a Solid server. You could run your own server or host it with a provider, much like a personal website. You could then give individual apps permission to read and write to your pod. When you want to stop using an app, you just revoke its access. The data remains on your pod, and businesses making apps never have to worry about storing it, deleting it, or making it easily exportable.
Being honest... I find the idea pretty interesting and a better model than the current one, where we are just the product and have no control at all about it.
I would not care if he makes money with it.

Every other wanker and his auntie have made money out of the interwebs by doing bad things.
If Tim wants to make a few well-deserved bob by doing good things, I'm all in favour.
