The pandemic is not a black swan! There have been many pandemics in the history of mankind, so the pandemic was predictable.

Nicholas Taleb himself is “irritated” whenever the coronavirus pandemic is referred to as a "black swan" (https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-pandemic-is...).

Google Music uploaded & purchased songs are automatically transferred to YouTube Music. Google music is not really killed. It is just replaced by Youtube Music, which has has a much better interface and also includes all music videos from Youtube, a killer feature for me.

The geometry used for maps actually changes because of shifting of tectonic plates! See https://nautil.us/issue/81/maps/what-happens-to-google-maps-...

The article uses a Mock/Stub distinction very close to the famous Mocks Aren't Stubs article by Martin Fowler https://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html

The definition of "Progressive Web Apps" according to Google is on https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/ and https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/your-first-p...:

"A Progressive Web Apps is:

* Progressive - Works for every user, regardless of browser choice because it's built with progressive enhancement as a core tenet.

* Responsive - Fits any form factor: desktop, mobile, tablet, or whatever is next.

* Connectivity independent - Enhanced with service workers to work offline or on low-quality networks.

* App-like - Feels like an app to the user with app-style interactions and navigation because it's built on the app shell model.

* Fresh - Always up-to-date thanks to the service worker update process.

* Safe - Served via HTTPS to prevent snooping and to ensure content hasn't been tampered with.

* Discoverable - Is identifiable as an "application" thanks to W3C manifest and service worker registration scope, allowing search engines to find it.

* Re-engageable - Makes re-engagement easy through features like push notifications.

* Installable - Allows users to "keep" apps they find most useful on their home screen without the hassle of an app store.

* Linkable - Easily share via URL, does not require complex installation."

Isn't it the opposite? Google maps works 80% of the time, but for the 20% remaining, you need to look at more specialized maps. For example look at https://www.google.com/maps?q=lamma+island : almost nothing, just of few paths. Now look at http://www.map.gov.hk/ : all paths and houses in Lamma are precisely described!
