To be honest, this seems like a decent check for banks to make. Based on my experience with users and the emails attached to their accounts, not all of them have an attachment to an email address that you or I might have (I haven't swi

Trump's impeachment? No, he was impeached by the House of Representatives. He just wasn't convicted by the Senate and removed from office--perhaps that's what you consider a failure, though.

That's a lot more work, and requires far more dedication and resources, than just picking up the data from a dump on the black market.

Is your comment implying that VPNs are only used for copyright infringement? Primary use of VPNs I see is to get onto my workplace's network.

Musk isn't an idiot, he's overseen some great things at the companies he runs, and I hope the companies he's running continue pushing technology forward. But Musk as a human isn't so great. He'd do better to keep hi

I know there have been some games that require talking to a server in order to work, so I presume those are as dead as the servers are.

Well, they're also getting rid of the "Log in with Facebook" option too, which is arguably giving into the demands of Apple.

Is there any evidence that someone dying in a car crash with COVID19 is being labeled as a COVID19 death? Your claims seem rather hypothetical otherwise.

Can they, though? It seems like a lot of the use cases for App Clips depend on physical infrastructure being added in the real world, like the NFC sensors that project the existence of an App Clip. Apple likes to control, but I don't t

Are you implying that Amazon is not paying the taxes they're legally required to? If not, then I don't think the problem is solved by saying they "could pay taxes" since they already are, but rather that the government c

I'd say both. If I'm a user who's all in on the Apple ecosystem, it seems like a nice plus that the out of the box apps can be expected to look similar and work similarly, whether I'm on my phone or my laptop. There&#x27

Maybe I missed it, but did they say they're requiring Mac apps to start standardizing design? If not, then I see no reason why the default OS apps that come pre-installed shouldn't look and feel the same.

I live in the Bay Area, which as you probably know has a shortage of new housing construction. The town I live in has a councilmember that is a staunch opponent of state-level housing regulations and regularly votes against new housing proj

Did you ever find out why that person signed up with an email that didn't belong to them? Did they intend to use a real email and for some reason didn't? Or did they want to use a dummy email that they didn't own?

I don't believe that's what's happening here. The accept attribute just filters what files show up in the file picker. And iOS devices will take an extra step, and on the operating system side convert HEIC files to JPEG.

SSNs are apples to oranges as well. I can't see a national ID not being a photo ID, so it'd be more akin to a driver's license--and those do cost money. And the cost will almost surely be higher than randomly generating a num

And in the same vein, US Passports are not free. So how do you know national IDs would be free?

Maybe I haven't been following Waymo too closely... but are they even planning on selling cars? I thought the end goal was to build a fleet of self-driving cars to have a lower cost Uber/Lyft replacement. You wouldn't own the

When I found it, it was for a place called Ike's in the Bay Area. All of the individual sandwich prices were $1-$2 more than if you ordered directly from the Ike's app. It wasn't because of a combo price reduction or anything

I know that DoorDash specifically also raises the price of individual menu items by a $1 or $2 sometimes compared to paying the restaurant's menu price directly.

This right here is a great argument for why "helping them use [the data they already have] more effectively" (as you've said) is probably not as great a mission as you're making it out to be.

I'm curious if "accountability" actually means anything in practice, or if it's just some of the Palantir corporate kool-aid. I don't think everyone associates government agencies with pristine records of holding th
