Why? Would you really prefer to be tracked by your friend every hour of every day instead of only when you are walking their dog? I do not believe that.

Would you say that is somewhat of a special case and that different considerations apply for this special case?

You skipped over the Comment I replied to which contains the following: > We're all on each others' Find My Friends, and have no problem knowing who is where. I even have non-blood-related friends on there, as do some of my oth

You are tracking your dog and not your friends though. That is a little bit of a different context to what the comment above claimed.

Which is why you decide to just say "fuck it" and share your information with even more people? Did I understand you point right? There are much more dangers than just the government even if I chose to use the stasi as an example.

I am not against location sharing for limited amounts of time. It could be reasonable to do, but for that you don't need to share your location 24/7 as some people here imply.

by VonGallifrey 5y ago
Yes, they do, but they don't usually share their location to other people 24/7. What would be the point of that?

Unless a nefarious person opened the AirTag and removed the speaker, but that can't happen and there aren't any videos of how to do this on YouTube.

I always wonder how this sort of situation can happen. I kind of can understand it a little bit within a family, but how do you ask a friend if you can track them 24/7 without sounding like a giant creep? At least here in Germany I wou

That is kind of funny to me because where I live the S-Q-L vs sequel divide is more along the linux/microsoft divide. Meaning if you encounter someone here that pronounces SQL as sequel you probably found a DotNet developer or at least

There is another debit card here in Germany. I have such a card and it is neither a MasterCard or Visa card. It looks like a Credit card with a Chip and magnetic stripe, but it has my IBAN on the front instead of a Credit Card number. These

I would bet that the marginal cost of that movie is actually higher than the cents it costs to produce that bag of M&M's. Even if the marginal cost of movies is 0 the cost of a bag of M&M is so low it might as well be 0. Does t

No matter how long it will take they will have to start fresh and whatever experience, knowledge and education they had becomes useless. Much more likely they simply become unemployed and stay that way. That is an awful lot of time wasted o

If store B is actually the black market then you actually did steal from the one producing whatever you bought or possibly from store A. What do you mean by your first sentence? I am fairly sure that movies do actually cost quite a lot to p

How fast would you be able to switch the industry you are working in? I would guess that a lot of the jobs that are discussed in this thread are fairly specialised ones and if that industry would disappear they would be out of work.

I also have a contract like that. They don't sue you, but everything I produce is intellectual property of my employer. Not very useful when working on open source, which is why I don't. I argued about this before signing, but thi

Police in Germany definitely are armed. As far as I know they always have a Pistol and they might have less lethal options as well. Sometimes you see them with a MP5 as well which is a compact submachine gun. I do agree with the training in

I see a lot of people here making references to the pandemic but as far as I remember this behavior hasn't really changed since last Year before the pandemic. John Gruber presumably can't travel to either London right now anyways
