I'm somewhat sure that the low contrast predates advertisement on maps by several years. I also doubt Google would willingly compromise Maps's usability for the sake of advertising, especially right from the start where there is e

Have you seen the number of MacBooks at MIT, or Google's or any other tech company's campus? The difference between your notion and reality should really motivate you to question your assumptions. The two most glaring errors are,

Unfortunately, a vast majority of people seem to cynically welcome the death of professional journalism, while being optimistic enough to be believe some bloggers will fill the void. It's somewhat schizophrenic, really. See this threat

I have never had any virus despite not running antivirus, occasional visits to the seedy underbelly of the web, and often having ad block disabled or not even installed. Nor do I remember anyone I know being infected without being tricked i

„Hyper“ is still (again) being used. But „Greek“ is what I really want.and those Roman numerals are also quite pretty.

I‘m not the proverbial fanboy (pun entirely intended), but I seem to remember similar headlines for just about any new MAC of the last two decades. And the issue often seems to be caused by the initial run of the Spotlight indexer. The auth

Corruption has already massively improved since the heydays of the 60s and 70s, so I doubt your cynicism. But of all the industries, big planes should be among the easiest to clean up: there’s only two participants in this prisoners‘ dile

This is civil law, not criminal. Maybe criminal liability s needed, but it’s just not reality. Also: beware what you wish for. Criminal law may allow your bloodlust to be satisfied. But it’s just as likely that the higher burden of proof it

Do you believe the ACLU‘s other/typical cases to be uncontroversial, to not have much opposition? The ACLU is rather consistent. It’s you who just happens to believe there are some people undeserving of civil liberties. A civil liber

You can make that sort of argument against anything: the FAA, FEC, FCC, National Wetland Agency, etc. What’s euphemistically called "the real world“ simply moves too fast for any legislative body to keep up, let alone the current US

Health care is rife with problems of shame, and how it prevents people from getting treatment, from STDs to drug dependency to psychological conditions. The WHO is simply simply scaling up some tactics used in routine care to the nation-sta

Considering their mentioning of immigration, I fear (Edit: I was right, see replies) they see the the nordics‘ advantage as being almost entirely white. That would not just be boorish, but also wrong: both Sweden and Morway (the two I just

For something that claims comprehensiveness, I am somewhat surprised by the list of sources. It’s almost entirely restricted to the web domain, i. e. domain/ip/email data. That’s understandable, considering how any data you gleam

They have proven their integrity. That seems worth a bit more than being right on these spiders‘ specific kinks. Not because I don’t care about spiders, but because the first is entirely within their control, while some hypothesis finding t

Longer buying cycles on the phones would be quite beneficial. And Apple has quite a good track record on longevity compare to others, in notebooks for example. They also lead on recycling, and were among the first to reduce and eliminate a

These measures don’t seem to be too onerous, certainly less than what a government might come up with after the first Desaster following your approach. But it seems that’s not your most salient concern here, considering the scarequotes arou

Isn't that exactly what the Instagram founders said? I'm perfectly willing to belief that they have no intention of selling. But that's really not a promise one can easily make. Even if you're capable of withstanding the

You're obviously right when it comes to Turkey, or at least their past efforts to block, which were somewhat half-hearted. But there are now countries that are willing to shut down the internet completely, at least for short terms. Cas
