I've lived in San Francisco for 5 years now, and one thing I find ridiculous about this city is how ancient most of the residential buildings are. I'm currently living in an apartment that was built in the 60's, and have bee

It seems the parent is suggesting that we block Chinese companies from operating in the USA, basically tit-for-tat retribution. Based on "...while their own companies operate freely in those foreign countries" This might be appli

Can you really not take PII and publish it without consent? Let’s say you found it somewhere publicly or in some other fashion where a user has not agreed to a privacy policy. I’m not saying you should do that or that it’s morally right, b

More like thanks crappy content provider who would rather block users instead of have a reasonable privacy policy.

I think the idea is those costs don’t scale linearly with the number of rides, so if you can increase the volume of rides which each have a small profit and hold the other operational costs constant or at least less than linear, you eventua

There's separate rights needed to show a movie to a public/large audience, like at a movie theater.

That company also had like 10 video dongles/adapters in every conference room, including ancient 30-pin connectors, but no USB-C which was the only thing most employee laptops supported. Yay technology!

Thank you. I haven’t had a chance to watch the actual stream, but that’s kind of how I assumed it would work. I was just a bit worried given that it’s Apple and they might feel like this is an opportunity to push their Apple Pay API.

Another thing to note about having no numbers, I sometimes volunteer to run the box office at a local theater, and we have a little Square reader that only accepts magstrips. But often it doesn’t seem to work properly, so I end up typing th

If the credit card does not have any numbers on it, how do you make purchases online on sites that don’t directly accept Apple Pay? Does the Wallet app on your iPhone generate virtual card numbers on request that you can use online? Or are

I haven't actually seen the video in question, but on a general level I'm confused why everyone is so up in arms here. Do we really want Facebook to be even more aggressive in censorship of its content? Do we want them to use

At this point it's hard to quantify the likelihood of being ruined by Google arbitrarily banning you, but at some point that needs to factor into the calculation just like an SLA or major disaster insurance. If there's a 0.01% ch

Didn’t Google get burned by doing that and “accidentally” collecting Wi-Fi network data? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/may/15/google-ad...

I think the point is the client might not be sophisticated enough to realize there’s a distinction there. If my auto mechanic replaced a part in my car with something that worked basically the same but cost me a lot of time and money and ha

That aspect never occurred to me since their stated value proposition was always super cheap last minute deals. But their prices were never particularly great so it kind of failed at that one job. If it had been positioned more of a super-s

I did get one great deal on HotelTonight back in 2012, so I got in the habit of checking it regularly but after that Priceline was always cheaper, often by a significant margin.

Any Authy or Google Authenticator -like app works. I personally use Authy.

The Salesforce tower is very recent, and you can see it from everywhere. It even lights up like an Asian-style building. Not saying you’re wrong, these projects seem to be much harder now on political and financial and other measures, but n

This is the exact same setup I have. Main downside is if I use a third-party email client like Outlook or iPhone’s built-in mail app, I can’t select the from address. Which means I have to use Gmail‘s horrible iOS app which doesn’t seem to

It’s awesome that you’re providing an affordable service for custom email domains, but it’s worth pointing out that Zoho has free email for custom domains. There’s plenty of good reasons people choose different email providers, but if cost

Along those lines, if Google decides I’m a bot or nefarious developer as seems to mistakenly happen on occasion judging from recent hacker news posts, will I then lose my domain name? Or at least access to it? At this point tying any major

Is there a good way to verify it’s actually written by him? Doesn’t seem like it would be that hard to set up a fake Medium profile and post this claiming to be him. There’s nothing else posted under this profile, almost no followers, unles

My understanding is Pinyin was created to improve literacy rates within China, not as a bridge to western languages.

I think the non-blockable ads is a big one. In my browser Facebook has no ads, the app on my phone is full of them.

They already offer the option to not store raw data and just get a one time analysis. I believe the terms say they store it for 3 months, although I don’t remember exactly. That’s what I did with 23AndMe. I also falsified all the personal i

Couldn’t most hacking attempts be defined as “hostile actions”? And the second part “at a time of peace or war” effectively means all the time. Seems like an extremely broad exclusion.

Often anti-harassment tools are literally censorship, it’s just censorship people have collectively agreed is morally worthwhile. I feel like the Internet has shown society enough examples where free speech can have negative consequences t
