I don't think we should. Calling people names won't help change their minds. Call them something that indicates the true problem: misinformed.

She says towards the end of the video that this is just the start and the long-tail of work is still to come. She specifically calls out waterproofing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I _love_ the idea of rsync.net but the pricing just cripples it. $40/TBmo up to 10TB, $30/TBmo up to 100TB or $20/TBmo beyond that. And you have to buy the storage up front

I'm another person who's been there. I've lived for three years in the Bay Area and travelled to a few other US cities (LA, Seattle, Portland, Orlando, Chicago) and surprisingly, even the smaller Russian cities I've visi

I've substantially de-Googled but there's still the huge issue of mobile operating systems. If I choose iOS, I get a device that respects my privacy and gives me some degree of control over what apps on my device can do (e.g. GPS

It's a democratic process yes but the country is still a constitutional and largely functional monarchy. Democracy is an indicator of whether the people are represented but it is not the definition. I think a better indication of wheth

I've lived on both continents (and one extra for good measure) and I'm afraid I can't agree. What I see is that there's plenty of innovation in Europe but it's rarer for companies to become the monstrous beasts that

I gave it a go based on your suggestion and I found it a horror to set up (it forces you to write a new importer just for it!?) but it's quite nice once you do.

Considering what you can get for $3k a year from a non-Apple builder, I think it is out of line, unless you _really_ need Mac OS. Puget Systems for example sells purpose-built systems optimized for a particular application. A 3D design and

The western toilets we're talking about are flushed with water, so this seems to be a non-issue.

Personally narrative only helps me remember when I care about it, which usually isn't the case when I read this kind of article. For me the endless fluff around the information is just wasted time.

Usually there are return bays spread throughout the carpark where you can theoretically return trolleys/carts and they'll be taken back en-masse by a store employee later. Often this results in them being left all over the place o

Is there actual evidence of wrongdoing on Xiaomi's part? If they're abusing my data it should be trivial to verify by MITMing my device. Can you point to someone who has done this and found something? Forgive me if I don't ta

I'm not saying the old Pinebook wasn't bad, I've never owned it but some of your points are a bit hollow for me. > CPU was compared to the PS3 and GPU was compared to the original Xbox, for reference. Why is this a problem

I'm not sure what you're talking about, this price point already has tons of competition. OnePlus, Pocophone, Huawei, Xiaomi and of course Samsung all have decent-spec phones in this price region. I think the only complaint I have

I think this looks like a better deal when you compare it to the flagships but you have to remember that flagship prices have been exploding and midrange has thriving competition. For $280, right this second, you can buy a Pocophone F1 from

You make it sound as if single-payer will lead to higher costs but that's demonstrably not the case. Look at the OECD healthcare spending, which includes both government and individual expenses: https://data.oecd.org/he

> The us has individual financing and high cost. I think that's quite an understatement given total healthcare spending in the US is over 2x the OECD average: https://data.oecd.org/healthres/health-spending.htm

For anyone else who might be confused like I was, "Nola" seems to be a nickname for New Orleans, derived from "New Orleans, Louisiana" -> "New Orleans, LA" -> "NOLA" -> "Nola".

Not arguing that there's no loss but Redacted, What.cd's successor, is currently at 840k releases and 725k artists. As far as pure numbers are concerned that's a decent recovery.

It's because they use completely different camera stacks. Stock has DRM-protected enhancements but minimal Camera2 support and no raw while AOSP has no enhancements but full API and raw support.
