At which point your captors just beat or murder you because they know that feature exists.

>I don't care if gamers nor teenagers want it, as long as developers make money and people like me use it the business model will work. But it won't, because if 'gamers' and teenagers don't want it, people like y

It's only circular if you think that the people screening you for clearance are the same people legislating. They're not. I agree it's archaic, but these guys aren't legalization activists, nor do they decide what is and

That is not the simplest scenario for the people you were asking for information. Their process isn't optimized for that because almost no one does it.

I wouldn't compare a payment processor to a massively popular app distribution and marketing platform (even if I feel that 30% is a tad high.)

I agree, but why do you think that matters? "Fantasy" is a genre for a reason. We don't always need or want 'realistic' interpretations. There was no mention of realism in your comment. You argued that we should be

>...more realistically, I think we could use more stories about regular people who made a difference just by be being good people. Plenty of those exist, but they scratch a different itch. People can enjoy both.

In this case, consumers were demanding a keyboard that... ya know, works for more than six months. Maybe they did try to iterate, but the fundamental design was just flawed. Who knows? Maybe they'll change it again down the road, but y

That's fair, but it would take a massive change in both consumer behavior and Apple's target audience to make something like this come about. But hey, ya never know.

Apple will never give you a modular, easy to repair system. It just isn't going to happen, time to move on.

HIPAA doesn't apply to everyone. There's a definition for "covered entities". For example, if you tell me about your medical condition, I can tell anyone I like. I can't find any reference to HIPAA in 23andme's

So, in other words... an "exploration phase" which is done prior to writing tests?

In my experience, people who run around proclaiming how great they are and calling other people 'amateurs' are the real amateurs. The pros have seen enough to know that there are all sorts of ways to succeed and that (engineering)

And some people are arrogant jerks, but I'd never jump to that conclusion after reading a single comment.

Not to mention the fact that the pixel 4 looks to be a big disappointment for the money. I was planning on getting a pixel as I don't want another Samsung (vendor crap-ware and bixby drives me insane), but now that I've seen it...

Ummm... no, we have police for that. Of course, the police do not have access to anything and everything in any place at any time, which is why they sometimes need to go through the court in order to compel private entities to assist. hones

Wow did that send me down a rabbit hole. I had no idea. I used to be pretty active on SO, but not for a few years now. This would have done it for me.

I'm going to go ahead and assume your teammates are reasonable people. If they're not then it doesn't matter what you do. It sounds like you're not convincing anyone of the value of your proposals. You want to do somethi

All irrelevant. The GP is bashing Chase for complying with a court order. It's not their place to decide which lawful orders they will follow.

I was only commenting on the "...then don't publish on the web" bit, which you seem to be back peddling on.

by EpicEng 7y ago
Or course you do, but you also seem to think no one should be using the web if they want to make ad revenue. >If you don't want to provide free content then stop publishing on the web, a free medium. How would that not also apply to

Hey, remember OTA television? That is also a free medium. Where did this notion come from?

So why are you frequenting these 'trashy' sites? If you are, it must be because they offer some value, right? If you're not... then you don't see any ads from them. Someone else will, because they find value in the site.

Any of whom I imagine bought a $2400+ web browsing machine. This is supposed to be a "Pro" model, right?

So... if I don't use Zoom I have one reason? Maybe? 1 and 2 are essentially the same reason anyway (Zoom integration) and I lost my function keys for it.

Seems unlikely given how bad Macs still are for gaming (and how expensive they are compared to other laptops which are better equipped for it.)
