I was about to call you on this but checking the store it seems you're right, they're reselling another adapter, not an apple branded. However, I do disagree on the quality of third party adapters; there are many fine ones out the

I think a lot of this is more lack of exposure rather thanan intentional denial. The ageism that happens in technology is hard for younger people to recognize and acknowledge because they don't have first hand experience with it, and s

Well,to be fair you could just open the MacBook Pro and unplug the ribbon for the webcam. iFixit will have instructions. Removing it entirely granted is another matter, involving opening the screen, but you'd have to do the same on a

I understand that, but wouldn't a pattern generator that selects from a series of pitches and a larger series of patterns produce sufficiently unique enough items to ensure that the probability of overlap to be virtually null? It'

I believe your interpretation on the pardon "precedent" is correct - legally no precedent is really set. A presidential pardon is basically an act of mercy, not a legal opinion. However, as a social precedent, it may give the next

Heh, I've noticed that Western culture does put a different emphasis on work ethics. After moving to Russia, I've just noticed a different approach to how work is perceived, and my partner and her mom have often cited this proverb

No, I think you're conflating when I'm specifically talking about just getting better service. See there's another slight disconnect with service in Russia versus service in the US. You ever have someone go out of their way t

I've lived in SPB for a few years now (american expat), and there's...some truth to it. The idea of cops just grifting you non-stop is overstated; more likely than not they just wanna not have to do work. Even when it comes to che

Mmm, I'd agree but the parent is specifically talking about surveillance, not about all human rights, and it's true - the US likes to condemn cyber-espionage and surveillance while simultaneously spying on the entirety of the plan

I think these boil down to personal preferences. My home/preferred OS is Mac, my work OS is Windows, and I find myself just preferring how macOS handles things just because it is more hands off in my opinion. I disabled window snapping

I don't really want to defend Apple's decision to remove the 3.5mm jack, but I think if we're going to criticize the decision, it's better to just focus on the fact that there really wasn't anything wrong with the j

Well, no, I agree, and I don't think I suggested that at all. In fact, though you said it much more intelligently with terminology I was unaware of, I was more suggesting that nature is more resilient in the face of nuclear waste/

I think the point was more that nature seemed to adapt very quickly to the fallout from Chernobyl. Instead of a nuclear wasteland it's a pretty thriving ecosystem with a lot of new life, and even large mammals seem to be doing just fin

Or, an alternate and equally reasonable position is you can find out what your seniors feel are required assets for you to have and figure out either how to obtain them or, if you already have them, how to appropriately demonstrate that you

As an introvert who works and has worked in an extrovert's role for nearly 10 years now, I'd advise not getting too caught up worrying over the distinction, and definitely don't buy into the stereotypes of either position. Ju

Depends, but likely no according to the law. [1] From a quick reading, you can't just have it, you have to have consent to show it or a really solid reason why it had to be shown (such as in relation to another investigation, like this

For the time being, the standard for discussion on HN just tends to be better. Not "civil" or inoffensive, but more in that discussion seems to be the focus. The idea of "on topic" or at least "good" discussion

Eh, I disagree, since a lot of times we rely heavily on visual cues to make assessments and determinations, and are often wrong just because of poor vision. Take for example persons with androgynous features and the difficulty some people h

Well, it's possible they have something like Synergy installed to control multiple machines, maybe. Or else, perhaps they're talking about headless machines where it's just a box with power and ethernet.

While a very interesting read, I'm curious how much is applicable anymore since the paper is relatively dated. I ask from ignorance not to dismiss the paper. The reason I ask is because my current line of work heavily involves supporti

forgive typos, on phone. While I understand your point there are some major differences in the purpose of murder laws and copyright laws and specifically in how they are carried out. You can't automate murder charges; you can't i

The latter isn't relevant - Facebook has full access to the data and likely has some major index to tie the two together. The simple communication data from Whatsapp alone is enough to find enough reference points for a high-confidence

I don't think that's necessarily true. The current Copyright laws are extremely over-reaching and also incredibly one sided, as user generated content or personal IP is often used by companies without the actual copyright owner&#x

Well, it's not only that. A lot of the web has shifted away from open parsable information to video and paid support content. You can't really quickly parse a video to know if you actually have content you need or if you've j
