Smells like gig economy. Because you're an "self-published" author you get to do all the stuff a normal publisher used to help you with arranging, like anti-piracy. But if you don't do it to their standards, you get unce

Sure, but that's the result of different issues from the kind of individualism emphasized in the article. We didn't get the CAFE standards as they exist today because Republicans wanted "aggressive" pickup trucks. Road u

The article makes a point of blaming "individualism" (apparently the author thinks we'd be safer if we could all just embrace "the collective good" and buy Priuses) but many of these problems can be traced to govern

I don't know of any such communities online, but in real world local politics the first example is more common. People who support things like bike lanes, bus lanes, and light rail don't describe themselves as "anti-car"

BBC doesn't release most of their documentaries in the US. I wouldn't assume there are any plans being held up, it's just too niche for any US distributors to bother. Maybe the interest due to India trying to ban it will chan

I don't think problems like this were unexpected, everyone knows India's manufacturing sector is less mature and not hyper-competitive like China's. Companies like Tata especially are going to be cautious to a fault about cha

I've been using Brave Search as my default the past ~6 months (previously I was using DuckDuckGo). I think Google is better at the "instant answer" part and its index really shines in some types of searches. Nobody talks much

Dropping SSO support would mean losing a lot of enterprise customers. Forcing organizations that have chosen Okta or Azure AD as their identity solution to either get separate Google accounts or sync their directory to Google, would not be

Some Twitter users do not seem to realize that the video attached to the tweet is the entire anime, and are quote-tweeting the video that they're urging people to pirate. I point that out because maybe some of the outrage is due to mis

In this case, Apple was sued in a similar fashion and settled in a similar fashion. The settlement website: https://smallappdeveloperassistance.com/ Summary of the settlement: https://www.macrumors.com/2021&

I would much prefer if more people settled their disputes without going to court. If they go to court and settle later, that's less great but still more productive than years of litigation. >So why isn't Apple being prosecuted?

The more direct equivalent to the Windows start menu (assuming you just want to search programs) is the Launchpad, which isn't bound to a key by default but you can do it in settings. It's much more reliable than Spotlight. Person

I think that section is about how the advertising system uses browsing activity, not how it's collected and stored. Even with ad personalization turned off on my iPad, my data export has click records going back to 2020 (when I created

For one, because as another comment mentioned Apple's app store is the only option on iOS, so you can't opt out of it even if you really wanted to. I also find what Apple is doing particularly bad because the click data is associa

I don't think it's about trust. The easy availability of short-form privacy policies and data export requests are the result of legal requirements, ideally you should be able to rely on those disclosures even if you don't kno

The question in my mind with Binance is how reliant they are on BTC. The non-BNB part of their SAFU (a pair of wallets they call an emergency insurance fund) is roughly half BTC, the other half being BUSD which I wouldn't 100% trust if

Some gatekeepers (i.e. Apple) will probably consider no longer offering messaging services in the EU rather than be forced to open the platform under the DMA and potentially break their E2EE under the DSA. Also, the DMA isn't requiring

Wow, so CNBC potentially put up a front page story based on the word of a guy on the street, no verification? I don't know how normal that is but it doesn't sound good.

How is a boosted post not a type of ad campaign? It's paying for placement of your advertising. Whether Facebook is being fair to businesses is irrelevant. If it was about the practice being too immoral to allow in the app store they c

Apple's position on this is really untenable as they market the iPhone as a device for work as well as personal communication. In the policy, they are saying that you can only buy ads without IAPs if it's some kind of multimedia c
