It’s about power; Dogs being violent isn’t super rare, and if a dog decides to get violent, I have no control over it. The probability of the danger is low, but it is sufficiently bad even in mild cases that I do not want to take any chance

You’re full of assumptions. Nobody is tampering with the hardware, nobody is routing Apple IPs to fake mirrors, nobody is using “self-signed” certs. People use stock iPhones, without a VPN (not that enabling a normal VPN is at all relevant

They need quality; Being fast, frature-ful, open APIs with good wrapper libraries, and not having tons of bugs. While WhatsApp already sucks (each time I try their bloody web app after years it still doesn’t work), other apps have solid qua

The math here is not necessary. It’s just common sense that if only the hours matter, then nothing else matters, by definition.

I have increasingly come to the conclusion that the society’s average IQ matters an order of magnitude more than your own in your well-being. An obvious example would be to compare the life of a person with mental illness to that of a rough

All those Apple apologists should go and take a look at the world; I live in Iran, and here Iranian apps just use a business profile to install. There are even alternative app stores using device management profiles. And these apologists ke

Confirmation bias, survivorship bias, etc. Make that index if you aren’t just bullshitting.

“Wise enough” is not quite the word for some of these points, “self-controlled enough” is. And giving bail-outs, either to individuals or big corporations, will always distort their incentives to take more risks, save less, spend more, and

V2ray has the option to route based on geoip, but it creates a socks/http proxy, not a whole system solution.

People in North Korea have not lost their freedom. They can choose from the many options available to them, including going to South Korea. It’s been observed that most do not choose so.
