Apple sends your searches to Google for money. I would call search queries data?

Apple, Samsung and Google all earn money from ads on your phone, just with different monetization pathways.

Indeed, but then I wouldn't call it a "big miss" (the title of the article, which doesn't mention regions either).

A moving GC would make it simple to move any remaining live objects back under normal GC control once the arena goes out of scope.

You could probably also do it without moving actually, it just gets a little more complex.

I wonder whether it would be possible to retrofit Arena allocation transparently (and safely!) onto a language with a moving GC (which IIUC Go currently is not):

You could ask the programmer to mark some callstack as arena allocated and redirect all allocations to there while active and move everything that is still live once you leave the arena marked callstack (should be cheap if the live set is small, expensive but still safe otherwise).

Unlike opaquely financed and privately owned media companies, the Guardian is actually relatively clear and open in how it is financed and set up in a way to try to make them as independent as possible (see for example the Scott Trust's annual report https://uploads.guim.co.uk/2025/09/11/The_Scott_Trust_Limite...).

That's not to say that they don't run their fair share of gossip/clickbait... but show me an online medium that does not.
