I am unable to really afford an upgrade to my iPhone, still using the same model I bought at university ten years ago. It still works well, although it can be a little slow at times depending on the application that I am using. There is no

I would find the option to update on selective things to be more valuable. I would happily update security-only updates, but maybe pass on others, such as updates to the UI, or general functionality of the device. What I dislike more than a

You forget the legal ramifications of firing someone. If they are a protected class - POC, women, disabled, etc. - it can mean a large headache in the form of a lawsuit, or a complaint to a labor board. Many companies have run into this whe

A classmate of mine was committed to this position. He told me that each time he updated his device he lost functionalist that he liked, was given functionality that he disliked, and of course the issue of greater resources such as battery

This is excellent information! I use my phone in bed, maybe too much, and wished for long time it could go lower. The Kindle app on my iPad will go lower so I knew it was possible. Thank you!

Strongly incentivizing monthly subscriptions versus weekly? I do not know but that is what it says. Is does not seem like low balling.. more like high balling? It does seem very strange.

I think there is also a stigma and fear associated with approaching someone today. No one wants to be seen as a creep or to find themselves on social media branded as one. This frightens me very much. https://xkcd.com/642&#x

What could be done to stop scammers? One thing I believe would help is for the app to accurate reflect the person's geographical location, and if that person's geographical location changes wildly, to flag them and tell the viewer

I use a dating app and I get a lot of people who want to sell me something, or invest in their business enterprise. It is very depressing. Supposedly if I pay and subscribe to the dating app it would be better, but I do not yet have enough

I am convinced that if the American police forces wish to detain, arrest, or take your money, they will find a reason to do so, or create one where none was there before. Assets forfeiture, detainment, and arrest without legitimate judicial

Debanking is deeply unfair but more so in our society that is moving increasingly towards a cash-less society. A person can be debanked for no fault of their own and that causes them to be unable to pay rent, bills, etc. Like being arrested

What you say is not a joke. There has been research into space based solar power which would beam this power down to earth to a collector point. Perhaps it is possible? Could power be safely beamed from sea to port? https://en.

In this case I think Mr. Bankman-Fried did more to talk himself into a conviction than anything he did. I read that reporters in the overflow room laughed aloud at his answers, which made me feel there was an eagerness on some to convict hi

I did not consider poverty elimination as an option, but thinking about it now, I don't think eliminating poverty is feasible, nor a short term solution to a serious quality of life issue. It is also questionable, given other comments,

I am sympathetic to a person stealing food or clothing but not iPhones and consumer products, but theft appears unsustainable for retailers. What is the answer to this problem? Options are: a. More prosecutions and stronger enforcement of e

I never had any doubt but did anyone have doubt? Michael Lewis's book Going Infinite portrayed SBF (to me at least) as a hapless kid caught up in something he did not understand. Lewis is the only person I have read that seemed to de

I first read about 'RTM' in The Cuckoos Egg by Clifford Stoll, whom I think are both admirable men in the history of computing. I do not think he should have been prosecuted. There was no intent to cause damage and the law was too

I love the podcast Lore by Aaron Mahnke. It is very pleasing and easy to listen to. I also listen to American Scandal, Business Wars, and American History Tellers. The Wondery network has some really engaging content.

I believe that the issue is a "rush to print" desire by media publications, made possible for better or for worse, by the internet. There seems to be a decrease in the ability to research and accurately report a story in favor of

I am having difficulty locating the specific case. I see a citation of "United States v. Holloway, 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 187752" but Google does not yield a valid result. Does someone have a link to the full legal opinion?
