I don't know why you're excusing their behavior. Apps on Android and windows run regardless of how many years ago they were written with very few exceptions. Let's call a duck a duck: Apple choose this right because it was ea

The belts are finely machined to very small tolerances, and things are tightened to specific foot-pound tolerances to make sure they sit exactly where they need to. So no, nothing slips. I just went through a belt change with my brother no

Do you not see the similarities between "give rich people low taxes and they will create economies around them," and "give rich corporations low taxes and they will create economies around them?" Companies will seek the

You've just described trickle down economics but for society. Companies are more than welcome to make themselves at home iff they pay their dues, and should not be welcome if they don't.

i don't think it is. the article isn't saying the diagramming is dead. it's saying uml is dead. using boxes and arrows isn't uml (full uml) and as you say, it's wasting time to go "full uml," which is why

I used to not like autotune at all in music, but then I think I heard an interview with Grimes (?) who basically said (paraphrasing) "oh, I love autotune. Yes it's artificial and detectable, BUT it brings the vocals even closer to

People's protest was other fb data harvesting. Even if they didn't understand the specific changes in the tos, they had legitimate grievances. Which is to say, "you're only allowed to me mad about a change when it's

People are mad about whatsapp because it used to be a good platform that they now feel compelled to abandon. I don't think people have any particular allegiance to fb messenger—it exists and is something to be tolerated. the whole &quo

Where I grew up, clothing for children was tax deductible. It was essential, so a system was put in place to serve the need. I'm not sure why you ended up in a metaphorical pit of despair over one imagined doomsday-scenario implementat

every human has a right to be healthy. However it is provided is fine. We, as a society, have the means to provide this. Just because we've set up a system that profits off of people being sick should not invalidate people's right

I see what you're saying, but I disagree. The F in 2FA is factor. Satisfying one login request from one factor (password vault) is 1FA. This is why the second factor is normally something that isn't your password vault (historical

You know what's also convenient? 1FA. Which, incidentally, when you store you TOTP secrets with your passwords, is what you have.

If they just put these chips into regular cards then they could eventually be resold, to gamers, at a great price. Instead, during a global silicon shortage, nvidia is producing silicon that has one use and then into the trash.
