If the key is available to Zoom, what's the point?

Is that a Gmail bug or an iOS bug?

The statistics are well known, and they do not support your conclusion.

Oh come on. Have you ever tried to find one person who actually, literally believes that the lives of black people do not matter? You'll certainly find 11-year olds in Call of Duty who will say it for shits and giggles to control you;

I think this very view is likely what made the coinbase workplace so toxic and uninviting. "Black lives matter" is a statement that everyone already agrees with. "Black Lives Matter" is a political organization with poli

What did it actually do? The article is pretty light.

You seem to take for granted that allowing people to buy and sell drugs anonymously at a distance is necessarily worse than gangs, cartels, and street violence related to drug selling in the real world. Reconsider.

Yes, it is true that the earliest mail in voters are skewed democratic. But that is not the point that I'm making. The scale beneath the map implies that the color concentration is not based on party voting ratios, but on absolute coun

The color chosen for the map makes it seem like it's saying something about the party that's winning in each state, when it seems to be just an indicator of the number of votes received. Maybe it should be green or something inste

I think the idea of laws whose purpose was to "prevent idleness" is interesting. Curious: Does this have some unexpected historical meaning? What was the justification for such laws? It seems today that Western society's whol

How was the poster mischaracterizing? He did not say government buildings were damaged, only that they should be protected.

The point I was originally replying to was not about the environment, it was about the size of the economy. This isn't related.

I think my comment was pretty clear. You did not define what you meant by California being "just fine," so I said: > It depends on what you mean by "just fine." If you mean "maintain its population," If you

by beaner 6y ago
It depends on what you mean by "just fine." If you mean "maintain its population," then maybe yes. But I'd say that's exceptionally low criteria for "just fine." It's also a phrasing that dismiss

I'm not sure what you mean. I think so, but beside the point. I was replying to the idea that California government "must be doing something right," which is untrue.
316.
by beaner 6y ago
California has a monopoly on the entire mild-weathered west coast of the United States. Its government is permitted to be less effective and less efficient because people are willing to pay extra for its natural geography.

I don't see what's different about it. Apple quality control is also just a type of algorithm. They have an algorithm that filters apps with algorithms. It is an editorial choice as well. Stopping after Facebook but before Apple i

by beaner 6y ago
You're getting down voted, but you're right. Apple filters heavily, they know everything in the apps they allow or disallow. Anything that is allowed and that they profit from, they are complicit in.

I find this article stupid for the primary reason that everyone has been absolutely bending over backwards to justify Apple's stance vs Epic, where everyone's argument in favor of Apple comes down to a pro-capitalist, dog-eat-dog,

You've clearly never played Fortnite. Epic doesn't sell loot boxes, they sell skins. You get exactly what you pay for, there is nothing sketchy about it.

The answer is not disingenuous at all, I think you just find it hard to accept because it is simple. You are actually trying to argue that a walled garden app store where users and developers have no other choice is always better for everyo
323.
by beaner 6y ago
That's not the point being made.
324.
by beaner 6y ago
The data for this does exist, it is the fact that Epic does want to offer its game outside the app store, as evidenced by their statements and also by having attempted it for Android.
325.
by beaner 6y ago
I have nothing wrong with that. But again, besides the point that this path is always, necessarily beneficial to all users and all developers. It isn't.

Apple once let somebody hack my account and purchase the same $20 app 15 times. When I complained, they ignored me. When I charged back the purchases, they canceled my Apple account. Purchasing the same app more than once on the same device

by beaner 6y ago
If that were true, Epic would not want to offer its app outside of the app store. But it does, because it's more profitable.
328.
by beaner 6y ago
Because if the app was permitted to be installed outside of the app store, it would make more money, meaning the app store offers negative utility to some developers. Fortnite is a huge brand outside of iOS. It iOS did not make the success

They seem not quite the same to me. A game built with Unreal Engine is essentially powered by it and would not exist otherwise. A game deployed to an iPhone could theoretically be acquired through an alternative app store or just direct dow

I think part of what made it great is the time slot that it was available in. The only people listening to radio that late at night were people driving in remote areas. If you were at home you had the tv, if you were at work you were busy.
