The similarities between the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse [1] and the collapse of the original Sunshine Skyway bridge [2] are striking, in their original construction and the pier collision leading to their collapse.

Users have no ownership of anything YouTube. They view YouTube at the pleasure of Google, and Google can yank that away or gate it however they see fit.

So there is no extortion, because Google is not damaging anything that belonged to the user in the first place.

And this is setting aside the assumption that most users are adblocking within Google Chrome.

So, "it's ok because everything is owned by Google"? Hmm.

@dang Would we be able to update the title please?

To clarify the acronym, _Google is already pushing Web Environment Integrity (WEI) into Chromium_

Disappointing to see such a 180 on 'don't be evil'.

I'm recommending Mozilla Firefox to all friends and family.

Creator here, it’d be great when you have a few min to please share your feedback and feature requests. It’s built with p5js, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Happy to answer other questions too, and I’ll do my best to keep up with this thread over the next few hours.

I work for a small corp working on re-writing an existing codebase and migrating all historical data.

This was a heavy week, I have 14.5 hours of scheduled of meetings (out of 40 worked, so ~36%). Some meetings went over, so I estimate I can easily add between 1 and 2 extra hours. I ended up having an emergency so I lost an additional 3 hours, but that's extraordinary circumstance.

Last week was lighter, at 5 hours.

If you don't count stand-ups, take 3 hours away from each week.

We're agile too, and don't count stand-ups or sprint reviews. I wonder if this is more related to agile/scrum vs waterfall?

Thanks, I'll add that to the original post.
