They never said "We don't store logs". What they said is they don't keep logs of user activity. You're arguing against a strawman. https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy/

Who said they don't have metrics? The VPN servers don't have any storage, but they can still send metrics to an off-machine API, or a different server that does have storage can send requests to the VPN servers and do metrics tha

It works out to effectively way more than $75k/yr in realizable income because, in the US at least, long term capital gains on your primary residence are heavily tax-advantaged in a way that income isn't.

The Internet Archive absolutely should be engaged in activism to expand fair use, protect archivist work, reduce copyright term, etc. What they shouldn't be doing is risking their existence by doing things with shaky legal standing.

If it wasn't purchased from an authorized Dell retailer then Dell really has nothing to do with it. With the way 3rd party Amazon Marketplace sales works, who knows what happened here.

There can be big benefits to being white in Asia for these kinds of jobs. They want to employ a foreign/"exotic" businessman to give them credibility. If you were raised bilingual, odds are you're Chinese and just fit in

Is this article AI-generated? If so, I feel like my time has been abused, as it keeps restating the same points over and over.

Every single point here is wrong. Mapping is a data collection/sanitization and content moderation problem. You need a lot of data, much of it user-submitted, and you have a lot of bad actors constantly trying to feed in bad data. I do

Every branch of a hotel chain should have a unique name, at least per city. Way too many mistakes get made otherwise.

You're not always looking at a map at all times though. If I verbally tell a friend "Let's meet up for lunch at Westville Chelsea", they can then unambiguously locate the exact one later on on their own. Also, lots of pe

It takes serious funding to make an excellent mapping app that contains worldwide business info, and a whole hell of a lot of paid review staff. A non-profit/charity can't really tackle this well. And since having a good mapping a

I kind of disagree with your premise here, at least in some specifics. MoMA and The Met in NYC absolutely do have a draw for foreign tourists, and are full of them. Both require tourists to pay the full ticket price to get in. LA too has se

Yeah we were talking cruise ships, which are by far the cheapest way to cross the ocean on a ship. A sailing ship is gonna be unbelievably more expensive, as that's a more bespoke experience on a much smaller vessel with worse economie

The round trip idea is unlikely to work well unless you're willing to wait awhile as the cruise ships are repositioning to handle specific seasons (e.g. Northern Europe in the summer, the Caribbean in the winter). The exception is the

But is Meta actually using it? I haven't seen it. Good luck to them trying to defend the mark id they aren't actively using it (or even worse, never did).

Is Meta using the trademark "X" for social media though? I haven't seen it. They're not gonna win anything if they're not actually using it. That's like the first and most important thing.
