Yeah, I really hate that. One workaround is to temporarily turn on the setting, set your home and work locations, then immediately turn it back off again. It will keep the locations and allow you to use them, you just can't change th

This does sound truly awful! If we're going for a truly minimal, Unix-style, modular program though, why not abandon the focus on lines and have it operate only on a single character? You could have it accept text as a parameter, and

No, it's just what you choose to hear because it suits your purpose. Someone had just been killed and people were looking for justice, and his response was "There are fine people on both sides." It was a weak, flaccid, preva

Of course, downvotes and disagreement are hardly an attack on a person's humanity. After all, what's more human than having stupid opinions?

Just adding to the dogpile here, but Taboola and Outbrain are the absolute scum of the Earth. Google, Facebook, and others get a lot of justified criticism for abusive business practices and invasion of privacy, but at least they also provi

If that's the case, then I'm honestly curious what point you were trying to make, because I see no other way to interpret it. How is saying "put the heads on pikes" substantially different than "should be beheaded&

Are you seriously trying to make the argument that it's ok to threaten to decapitate someone as long as you do it in the good old fashioned European way, rather than like ISIS?

You're conflating thoughtful self-examination of your own beliefs and the motivations behind them with simply abandoning those beliefs. Just because you hold a belief that goes against the majority opinion doesn't necessarily mea

If that's your number one qualification for a president then we should have just appointed a pet rock instead. No new wars, and it wouldn't complain when you try to put a mask on it.

I've always hated giving my phone number to sites, even when it's ostensibly only for recovery purposes. Even worse are the sites/apps which refuse to let you make an account without one. I remember Facebook getting busted

I don't see the distinction. The "lesson" to be taught is that large entities should not use the legal system as a bludgeon to suppress smaller entities - i.e. to deter this kind of behavior. This happens all the time, not j

He's still an idiot. He chose to believe that not because of research or statistics or the advice of people with expertise, but because it was convenient. This was at the beginning of March when there had only been 11 deaths. He was

Even if it was 100% ineffective (and I think it's pretty obvious that it had a non-zero effect), that wouldn't even matter. They still tried to win by spreading lies. Murder and attempted murder are both crimes.

How did it get to the point where there was enough "bad" data that the ad agency took notice and was angry enough to take action? I like the idea of jamming ad networks with junk data, but I would imagine that it would have to ha

Yeah, I was sad about that. The old changedetection.com was vastly superior for my use case and, not to mention, free (or at least much much more generous with its free tier).

This is the exact thought I had when I read the article. I never understood how or why this practice was legal in the first place, but it sounds almost identical to what Instacart and DoorDash are doing. People SHOULD be outraged!

You can call it whatever you want if it makes you feel better. It won't change that person's belief (or lack thereof) though.
