You've said over and over again how you don't want to talk about the subject, yet you keep replying. I'm just making sure people understand this isn't the strategy of someone who knows what they're talking about,

Morality is what separates us from animals. The suggestion right and wrong don’t exist is the real tyranny. It's what evil people say to do evil things.

This isn’t a debate, this is me getting you to reveal how little weight you have behind what you believe. This is useful because if anyone else reads this, they will get a pretty standard idea of how people who think like you can’t really j

That’s true, but it’s not what I said. It seems like you may need to reread what I wrote in order to respond to it, but then again it’s probably easier for you to pretend to misunderstand me than it is to actually address what I’ve written

But you seem utterly incapable of justifying those beliefs to others... Your beliefs are worthless to everyone else if you can't explain them, and no all you've done so far is declare what you believe to be correct, and have cru

"Because I believe differently than you, there isn't much to discuss." is a terrible way to convince others of your belief. You're presupposing your conclusion and seem completely closed to the idea that you may be wrong

No, what I disagree with is his inconsistency, and also his manipulatability by the Russians, who allegedly told him a nuclear war would erupt if he didn't do what they said. What's to stop someone else from otherwise manipulating

A better comment would attempt to explain why is my point. Thus far, you've been insistent on refusing to explain yourself or being open to alternative views.

I couldn't disagree more strongly; you will screw this up if you roll your own. The only secure option is to push as much as possible outside of your infrastructure. The concerns that it won't be "auditable" or that

That’s even worse! I would try to avoid a library with a function that fragile.

Where did I suggest such a thing? And everything discussed is consent driven anyway. It’s not like a smart phone is mandated.

…the whole thread you’re replying to is about it not actually being necessary. To participate in this conversation you either accept that premise or disagree with it, passing it as a given is not really an option for the argument.

Or use a library that doesn’t modify the input…

The smell here is in the library, is the commenter's point. The solution would be to search for a better written library.

You can genuinely believe something insulting. And for what it's worth, I don't think you genuinely believe this. It's much more likely you're using a pathos appeal, as your logos argument has failed, which I'm te

That's your choice! But suggesting everyone operate on a substantially less convenient basis due to your specific desires for privacy seems... selfish.

I’m so far left wanting for an app that gives me a way to easily track and consume newly published work of a given topic. The existing apps are not great, and maybe this change will make it easier to provide better “reader” views, and poss

What percent of users would agree with you, in your estimation?

I opt in to Apple’s work, whereas Beeper Mini was done on my behalf, which is the striking difference.

I actually read a whole book on the weaponization of human rights, and how some groups portray their cause as “noble” to get around the sticky questions such as motive and self-benefit. I’m not saying this exactly that, but there’s a lot o

You want to change your location in every app manually, even when your device has a GPS receiver installed?

The telescope in question was at one point the proposed Sentinel [0] (apparently now the NEO Surveyor [1]), and frankly, even for something like that, I simply don't trust Elon because of its purpose. SpaceX has a stench about it that

People who got into tech because they're bad at human interaction will find no refuge working professionally. You're a burden to your company and your coworkers if you're in a role that requires coordination and you refuse t

I'm in school full time, so no. The problem isn't that managers need to be able to check on employees, it's that everyone needs to be able to interact with one another face-to-face to optimally work, and when they can't,

Electrons can't yet sufficiently replicate the full experience of being in person for teams that still intend on having both, and what the electrons can't cover will be covered by someone, and that tends to be on someone who has

For companies that were previously set up as in-person, it's the only way to operate successfully for any role that has any regular interaction.

It's more like the constant coordination of disparate people, keeping those people motivated and aligned, making sure they're getting full access to all of the resources that would be otherwise trivial to provide to people collect

This has nothing to do with my situation; I'm currently a full time student. My observation is in general, not about any specific situation. Remote work has costs, and your leaders have decided those costs are better than the in-per

Sorry but ancient Egyptians absolutely had dedicated workspaces separate from their homes. Obviously these places were more proximate to their homes insofar as their transportation methods limited the reasonable distances their workplaces

Oh well if it's formal , that suddenly makes it totally okay and therefore nobody is paying for you to do that in extra effort... My point is that in situations like yours, there's always a loser, and they often don't get a
