Which is useless in this day. I was in China last week and Google Map’s street layer was aligned correctly to where I was, but the satellite imagery was not. This demonstrates that Google already knows the correct coordinates of street in C

I think that right only applies to search engines and "directories," the actual content would not be deleted. I suppose I could ask Google to delist that issue, but not GitHub to delete it. The more recent GDPR on the other hand s

This. Add the addictive nature of Reddit and you’ll see the same people back on the site and native app. I hate Reddit but I still open it at least once a week.

The point is that backpacks are limited (in theory). Some low-cost airlines will weigh and measure them, so this jacket would let you wear extra weight.

Yeah, security is a complete non-issue here (assuming you still follow the carry-on contents rule)

I don’t see how that would work. A fraction of Reddit users use Apollo. A fraction of Apollo users pay Apollo. A fraction of those users would be open to also pay Reddit on top of that. Why would the Apollo developer keep working on their

Good for you. Reddit will not cease to exist. People are comparing this to Digg, but Reddit is not changing at all, so the vast majority of users will stay and will continue to comment share and moderate subreddits for free/points. Peo

No, I really don’t care. I have hundreds of apps on my phone, most of which I use once every few months or even years. Imagine if they opened some random popup every time someone decided they made huge changes. Same goes for some extensio

The cool part of datalist is that you can listen to input events on the field, query the server and create your options in the datalist.

Sounds like hotel bookings. So many “hurry up, 246 people booked this exact room in the past 14 seconds”

That’s basically “carbon credits” except that companies only buy it to reach “green” status.

They do have a “sensitive content” filter API so that’s likely not going to happen.

Maybe, but for Apple yearly releases are just free PR. It wouldn’t be terribly difficult to write “if photos.app doesn’t have getStickerablePhotos API, tell user to update”

Yeah no, I started self-hosting when I realized that I really didn’t want anyone reading my thoughts. I’ve been using a regular note-taking app: iA Writer on my phone and Sublime Text on my computer. At one point in the past I even had a be

I'll believe it when I see Xcode running on the thing. Plus I would not want to be seen around wearing that thing.

At 3500 this will be niche at best. They'll sell half the units of Watch Ultra if they're lucky.

> you are covered under seller protection. I’m probably wrong, but doesn’t seller protection only protect you from PayPal disputes? i.e., not bank-initiated chargebacks and fraud reports.

When I think of Singapore, I think of “benevolent dictator.” They may mean well (for now), but it’s still authoritarian.

That’s not an argument for the death penalty. Are you saying that it’s ok to kill people for whatever reason as long as they’re informed?
