I have multiple phones- one for Waze, one for WhatsApp, another one for calls. The extra phones cost me $100 each at the time I bought them new - not flagship, but definitely workable. This does not require any real wealth - most western HN

It’s not even available to the wealthy. You have basically zero privacy using Android, and almost zero privacy using iOS; and indirectly, using stuff like Waze for which there is no “wealthy” alternative puts you on the Google radar - and a

There are already lots of tracking to prove/disprove 183 days, as it would already dictate which state is entitled to tax more/first. E.g. people who commute between NJ and NY or somehow do their work in both often have to justify

The Dutch tax from cursory reading is not comparable - apparently, if you pay wealth tax, you are exempt from capital gains tax; also, if your wealth is real estate outside of the Netherlands, it is not taxed. It may be more comparable to N

It’s true that the hurdle from 0 to 1 cent is much larger than 1 cent to 1 dollar - but Even though it is well known, to the point of being axiomatic for sellers, that it is not how it is perceived by buyers which often pretend it is a line

It is up to you what you find convincing or acceptable, but as a strategy I don’t like yours - Facebook can come (and does) come up with bad faith arguments. If you keep responding to them, they waste your energy evaluating and responding t

There's even more hypocrisy than that in the whole thing: Facebook has -- by far -- the greatest audience reach of any media (except perhaps Google, depending on how you slice the data). Why would they put out ads in newspapers? Is thi

But they are being evil and hypocritical. Facebook does not care about small businesses - so instead of responding to the thin veil of "but think of the small businesses!", people are responding to the underlying concern that Face

Iirc they were found to use WhatsApp contact graph to enhance FB metadata despite promising the EU they wouldn’t.

WhatsApp was popular, but iirc didn’t have video calls or group phone calls (and perhaps not even 1-1 calls). It is likely true that FB funded WhatsApp’s continuing relevance. It is just as likely , though, that WhatsApp would develop thes

IIRC, Quaid software's Copywrite on the PC was able to reliably duplicate weak bits, and had a companion called "zerodisk" which would -- in cooperation with marks left by Copywrite -- emulate laser holes. I remember at least

You’ll just be developing remotely. Amazon has had graviton for a while. Google has had TPUs you can use online but can’t buy locally. What makes you think you’d have to have a local laptop? In fact, it’s in every behemoth’s interest to kee

Almost all cars can be set to respect a speed limit already; I do that when I drive on highways to make sure I don’t accidentally go over (which is easy to do especially when others around me do it). Outside of the US (and perhaps a few oth

In Israel, it is up to the owner of the car to name the driver (or accept responsibility) if no other evidence is available. Rental companies name the renter, which is what you describe, and it is then up to the renter to accept or name a s

In most countries that don’t try to just fill coffers through speeding tickets, enforcement happens at 10% or so above legal speed limit. If the two cameras are more than 1km apart, that makes your point moot.

I checked, they have 8 under 400euro, all of which are celerons or chromebooks -- generally much more limited than a modern iPad. 400euro to 600euro is actually $480-$720 -- which already includes your $600 "iPad + Keyboard + more&quot

I haven't seen an $400 laptop you can upgrade the memory for. Perhaps they exist, but I've never seen one. The $250-300 chromebooks are much weaker than an iPad. I don't know if you've noticed, but Apple did release iP

I expect them to have an iPad that can fill this niche for $400 when you include a keyboard. Perhaps they already do.

Is this still true when active noise cancellation is involved?

I think that spot was taken by iPhone SE2. If you consider security updates as a measure of longevity, that’s true for basically every single iPhone. Android are a 2-year device at most if you care about security (and are not a hacker), App

I didn’t notice until your comment and it’s too late to edit now, but the first place I wrote “vaccine” should have been “virus”, see also my response to myself. (Revaccinatiom may be needed after rituximab, which was specifically designed
