It’s not about piracy, it’s about keeping you inside the “flywheels” created by the interlocking hardware and services.

Thank you! I don't use this option, because I buy books and then pirate them elsewhere as a backup. So long as Calibre keeps updating to support new Kindle devices, I guess I'm set, though I understand why people would be concerne

The "download and transfer option" is located on the Amazon.com website when you're logged in. To get there, hover over the text to the right of the search bar that says "Hello, [Your Name] Account & Lists", sel

The title and article is confusing. It says this: "they are finding out that the new [Kindle] models are mysteriously missing the download and transfer via USB option for purchased ebooks from the content page at Amazon." The opt

>So, again: I think the assertion that "Apple is late but does it right" is totally invalid when applied to AI, because there is no way to do it right, because no one wants it. No one wants "Artificial Intelligence,"

This article and the audience reading it would be better served if this paragraph were earlier in the article, maybe even first or second: “ It can be easy for managers to buy into typical stereotypes of Gen Z and dismiss them entirely; how

The air travel industry is extremely competitive, and prices continue to fall after spiking due to the supply chain/ COVID chaos: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/travel-price-track...

This is an astoundingly uncharitable attempt to make my otherwise personal assertion classist. Am I to meet my overstimulating environment head on, further exasperating my anxiety and mental exhaustion simply to please others who think my c

They are designed to be heard at a distance and through automobile glass, not walking beside it on a sidewalk. Besides, the siren is not a meaningful signal to me: I’m not on the road.

My theory is that TikTok is optimized similarly to YouTube in that it uses viewing time as a signal of interest. So, you could open TikTok, see underage people dancing, turn your phone to your spouse and say "can you believe this is wh

You seem to be fixating on the term "fight back," when the commenter you're replying to is asking for ways to not feel excluded at his/her job, where s/he spends a majority of his/her waking hours. As someone w

It isn’t just Tyson. The entire industrial meat industry, especially in the United States, exploits workers. Those workers are often immigrants. Take a look at what they did during COVID: https://www.theguardian.com/environm

Yes. Ex-Amazon here. The part where I horse-trade putting engineers on PIP so I can keep my UAR up -- I don't spread that to other companies because it's toxic as fuck and leads to my friends on H1Bs getting deported.

You seem to be responding to an argument I did not make. If you're interested in the claim about the exploitation of meat industry workers, here's an article about it: "The Many Costs of Cheap Chicken" [0] [0] https:&#x

Meat eaters ignore not just the violence against animals, but also the untold human suffering the industry inflicts. Meat packing employees routinely become immune to antibiotics because they come in contact with it so often on a daily basi

Dang, can we get a filter for RTO submissions? The discussion hasn’t changed in years. There is nothing new to say about RTO itself. If someone has insights about a particular company and their policies then fine, but we are approaching the

Meta just released an internet connected camera disguised as eye wear. That makes this situation quite different. If a person wants to reject being photographed, they move away from the person holding the camera, or avoid public places that

The subject of the quote is Creolistics, not the definition of Creole. If you are looking for scientific definitions of linguistic categories you are going to be very disappointed. Language involves humans. Language is messy . As well, any

Creole is both a sociohistoric and linguistic term. The fact that the linguistic attributes are difficult to put boundaries on is extremely common for linguists: we won’t even claim to tell you what the definition of “word” is! As for wheth
