The problem with biodiversity loss is that people don't care about it en masse. We just don't give a shit about nature collectively and biodiversity has complex relationship with profit to humans, because we can largely compensate

This is actually interesting because even though starlink satellites are far less precise than GPS, they are numerous. Which means that they are always visible if you have even a tiny spot of clean sky in any direction. Might come handy nav

It's impossible to have privacy just for you in a society that otherwise doesn't have privacy. Think Facebook: even if you don't share much details, you friends certainly do. They will post your photos together and happily ta

The final nail as in nobody will give a shit about it and Apple's revenue will continue to rise? Because this what will happen and was happening for the last decades.

I don't get why this is being downvoted. For me math is pretty much a mystery, in a sense that it seems so arbitrary once you move from simple concepts that were initially grounded in a real world (like counting pebbles or splitting a

As an owner of Xiaomi phone I consider all data on it to be available to mid- and high-profile parties at least in China. Which might eventually leak into my country as well. That's why my phone doesn't have any bank software inst

IMO this reduces the protection of 2FA significantly. For me 2FA is primarily not having a single device that's enough to compromise to get access to your important accounts. This means that I never have both factors (password and TOTP
