You didn't buy it, you pre-ordered it. Ask for your money back.

This mechanism reinforces the societal norms that created it, like many others. If the Irish didn't intensely oppose police brutality, more brutes would enter the police force, leading to higher incentives for brutes to join the force.

I still cannot believe that forced binding arbitration is a legal thing. It's like a "If a law to stop us exists, this ULA is above the law" clause.

It's simply not inevitable. I'm so tired of this rhetoric. "it's going to happen anyway, so give up". No, it's not going to happen if you actively oppose it. For example, cops in Europe cannot execute crawl

Same. I tried to mess with the grid in dev tools in a last attempt to make the damn carousel resize appropriately but to no avail.

I love how they just reiterate to "we collect the same types of information (i.e. usage data such as length of calls, frequency of calls) that we collect on other Messenger-enabled devices", whatever the hell that means. It doesn&

These numbers are meaningless on their own. Detroit went up in flames when it lost it's auto industry. Otherwise the debt would just get bigger and Detroit would be fine. China might undergo a crisis when they start losing exports due

There still isn't a popular messaging and voice call platform that supports private end-to-end encryption by default. How terrible is this? I mean it would be so trivial to establish a secure and private communications standard. Europe

$1,000 won't get you far. That's less than a month's rent for a studio in Toronto for example. Also I'm pretty sure both Canada and Japan have pretty strict immigration laws. If you want to migrate you should figure out

I'd argue that today we have an even larger variety in CPUs. They're all ARM, but they exist and almost anything can be made to run on them. Well, not trivially, but it can be done. ARM is also supported by Ubuntu, Arch, Debian

Eh. To be fair I'm torn between giving my local government the ability to manipulate me vs giving a foreign power my data. I don't read Chinese-owned news, I don't vote in China, I have nothing to do with them (well, except h

Lime-based mortar has been doing so since the Roman times. Of course this is development is different, but it's still not scalable in any way. If your material isn't alive it won't last long, the catalysts always decompose or

If your ego is so fragile, than good, keep the code to yourself. Some people might be a bit too sharp, but when you get the 100th "bug fix" that includes unsafe code, extra dependencies and the effort put into auditing is 10x the

I can't wait until they start blocking people suspected for "online hate speech". That's just one step away from filtering people's physical speech in real time. Perhaps Google should make a pair of lightweight nois

This is a very uncomfortable truth. For now it seems like they're better than Google, but the fact is we have no way of confirming it, and no guarantee it will stay like this in the long run.

For one thing, Adobe reader will scan your Windows computer for documents and upload all the titles and authors to Adobe's servers. I don't know if they also upload content by now, but I would guess they probably just fingerprint

If you look at life expectancy difference for teens and young adults, seems like the main difference between the 1800s and today is that instead of dying at your late 40s/50s you die in your 70s/80s, which is very intuitive to me

I have to disagree with 2 parts about your argument. One is that centralization and capital concentration isn't a problem. The other is that the origin of ownership is irrelevant. That's also not true. If interests of one region

It's not, but it's better than moving a couple thousand kilometers away from your friends and family, denying your kids to their grandparents if you're married etc.

That is good enough to convince me. Their frequency ranges overlap and the MRI is always emitting pulses with variable frequency. Although there wouldn't be much energy available at the range of tens or hundreds of meters, the sharp pu

I'd say fix your personal problems and stay in your home country. If you can currently afford to live and work in SV, you can move 500-1000km in any direction and live cheaply, while staying in your own country. "Intellectual atmo

The 3D panning shots were pretty nice considering there's no specular information in those 3D scans. The claims are, of course, insane, but I guess they're trying to sell some kind of fancy correction algorithm to fill in the gaps

Yeah, the vanishing act of the proletariat was hilarious. I was shoked thinking Bloomberg might be writing an article from a left-wing point of view. It took 1 line to prove myself wrong.

At this moment Google can destroy almost any SME they like simply by deranking them. They don't have to explain anything either. They just flip a bit, and poof, your livelihood is gone. But what if you're not a business owner? Oh
