...really? what were they hoping to gain? By the time you're elderly I feel like you should understand that there's no such thing as low risk high reward investing.

I mean we've minted plenty of millionaires by way of the stock market and startups and generally hail those people as geniuses when they're often just lucky. Uber is no less of a Ponzi than crypto. Yes, maybe there is some willful

the white and green (button) --- does that meet a11y contrast guidelines? I would say for a b2b company design probably doesn't matter too much. I think minor things like font choice probably affect a consumer discretionary brand much

But you can, it's the sms app. Signal is not a $75B company so it doesn't have to interop with Whatsapp (nor do I think this makes any sense, as the encryption story is different across apps)

you seem oddly excited about the prospect of an EU with no smartphones

I mean I also can't use the app I bought for my iPhone on my Windows desktop.... why would I expect two separate operating systems to interoperate?

sms is already interoperable... does this law say they have to remove iMessage to make all messaging lowest common denominator?

Required to fend off hypothetical bears or actual ones? I can find no source mentioning an actual encounter with wild animals. Also it seems like we should be past the days of leaving cosmo/astronauts in the wilderness by themselves fo

Does providing targeted ads have to be a privacy violation? If no human ever learns my interests then do I care that a server somewhere "knows" I like fishing rods?

c'mon, "coup" is a bit of a ridiculous way to describe a few nutcases trespassing on government property. I did worse as a teenager.

there's really not enough info here to figure out who was in the wrong. It's entirely possible that one's behavior at a large meeting could be grounds for dismissal, or this could be some sort of power trip by some middle man

at this point the average Uber driver is no better than the average taxi driver, and the last time I compared the price of an Uber ride to the price of a taxi the taxi was 10% cheaper. Uber got where it did by losing vc money and by ignorin

Most Android app permissions are granted at runtime as of Android 6 which was released in 2015.

by bagacrap 4y ago
Don't you have more context to understand and grant the permission request at runtime? For example a banking app might want access to the camera for depositing checks, but until I'm actually depositing a check it might not be clea

The paper explains a little more the meaning of the 180km figure: "a single polyploid clone spanning more than 180 km in fragmented, near-shore meadows". So this seems to be the distance between the farthest two clone instances. I

an "investor" cannot be suckered in because they invest money as soon as they have it and don't sell for decades. I guarantee that a purchase on Tuesday will be up by 2040. "traders" trying to play short term trends
