Is that reason enough not to try? Because people will complain? You know very well that people will complain no matter what happens, yet we still must seek to work towards truth and a better way, even though "better" is in opinion word, and sometimes so is "truth."

I somewhat agree, yet wouldn't a healthy extension ecosystem (excellent term, btw) attract more users to Chrome and in turn keep users more entwined in the larger Google ecosystem? I guess there is a cost/benefit analysis done. They put just enough effort into it to get the return or results they want. The little guys like OP (who arguably make the best content because it's open source and not full of trackers or other junk) just get stepped on along the way.

Is it possible that Google writes code to automate the moderation (for lack of better word) of the extensions in the Chrome Store because they are trying to avoid paying hundreds of people to do it manually? I know it's easy to say "Google doesn't care about you," and generally it as a company may not care, but they also are not in the business of putting us out of business.

It feels like to me that they have just become a sprawling mass of interconnected yet disjointed divisions but without any real customer service department that can handle the amount of requests or situations like in OP. I am not on their side in any way, but Occam's razor and all, it just seems the most likely explanation to me is that they are just too cheap to pay people to handle the volume of customer issues they have? Or would it not be economically feasible? What do y'all think?

My Chinese wife receives phone calls like this all the time. Either it's DHL telling her she has a package to pick up (in a completely different state) or it's the consulate asking for some information. I guess my phone number got in with hers somewhere along the line as I've also received a call or two like this.

Did you read the abstract? It explains a theory of how the movement of droplets throughout the restaurant is consistent with the airflow from the air conditioner. Nothing to do with filters.

They've got you right where they want you.. /s

How does a low refresh rate damage eyes? Got a link? Legit question, not looking for an argument.

This argument reminds me of the EEV vlog on solar raods. :D

Thanks for this, fellow human. I needed some optimism today.

Interesting article. Just found it surprising that there were so many typos in it.

know how I know this story has falsehoods?

"After the calls from police, Alyssa’s parents figured out that their phones were being pinged and took the batteries out."

90% chance they all had iPhones. can't take iPhone batteries out. if they didn't, what phones have removable batteries?

riddle me that.

I work in a bank. They keep it so cold inside in the summer that employees are forced to have space heaters in their offices to keep from shivering all day. All in hopes that a customer who comes in from the outside heat will feel comfortable for the less than 5 minutes that they are inside.

The amount of waste is unreal and disgusting. I was laughed at the other day by a coworker because I commented on how much energy we waste by doing this. He said, "But you don't have to pay for it. Who cares?"

That about sums up the attitude here in Texas.

Anyone else get a weird pop-up after opening this article? I'm using Firefox for Android, and after I open the article and begin scrolling, a little box pops up that lists the names of 2 local financial institutions and the word "remove." As I scroll down, the box moves, too. If I tap on one of the names or the word "remove" the box disappears. I only get this on Firefox for Android.

The only reason it's rather worrying is because I happen to bank at both of the financial institutions on the list. They are both small, local institutions.

Tried opening the link on a couple other devices but was unable to recreate this. The pop-up appears every time I open the link in Firefox on my phone, though.
