Are you talking about the querty layout?

I love it. Everyone’s claiming a $5 billion fine is insignificant, so there’s no room to argue the tax savings from writing it off is meaningful.

Revenue is up 20% year over year. The growth is real, not just a goal.

>Retail stores buy the products they put on their shelves, at wholesale prices. They then mark up the prices to a retail price charged to the end buyer when they resell the products to the end buyer. Why is this difference salient? This

A system with enough manual control that the officer has the task of tagging and offloading the footage sounds like a system where inconvenient footage will be mysteriously deleted.

Do we consider people making search queries on Google to be non-users?

The iPhone Google Maps app has the feature, although I haven’t turned it on so can’t say how well it works.

I guess I’d like the ability to delegate the responsibility of updating the ownership of my phone number to an entity of my choosing. The phone company would only be able to update with this entity’s go-ahead. Services could specialize in t

Does anyone know if there’s a way to prevent your SMS from being rerouted, or get a special protected number? The ability to do this would not mitigate Microsoft’s responsibilities here, but at least it would allow some people to help thems

Seems like a no-brainer for both companies when faced with Apple TV having everything.

Users will probably be annoyed if the clipboard contents seems to randomly disappear because an app got killed by the OS.

Heroin dealers are mixing in fentanyl because it’s extremely dense (in terms of doses per mass) and therefore easy to smuggle. People are ODing on fentanyl because those same properties make it hard to dose accurately. None of this would ha

The proportion of Google’s ad revenue coming from ads displayed on Google properties keeps growing.

Patio11’s comment got me very curious and I’m not sure this quite explains it. If I’m selling millions of dollars worth of a tech stock, would IB give me a materially better price?

If you’re uninsured, Gilead will give you a voucher you can take to a pharmacy to get it for free. I don’t believe this press release is actually announcing any change in the situation on the ground for people who need Truvada - I’m saying

When there are multiple cost-effective public health measures that can achieve the same end, we should pursue all of them. In the case of Truvada, we already did the hard part (inventing it). Now it’s just a chemical that can be infinitely

If those filthy citizens would just wash their hands, we wouldn’t need to waste money developing flu treatment either. You’re a genius! We can save so much money. And we can stop working on making cars safer - all we have to do is tell ever

I’ve been getting free Truvada since Obama was president. Nobody pays for Truvada - Gilead reimburses you if your insurance doesn’t cover it. Sounds like just another example of Trump claiming credit for something that was already happening

I’m the same way, details in my visualization only appear where my attention is directed.

I do agree it will be a shit show when the big one hits. Don’t rely on earthquake insurance to fix your problems. Unless you have $$$$, your house is not going to be in the front of the line for rebuilding. Spend a thousand dollars now on b

That’s a percentage of the value of the structure, not the structure+land. When buying insurance, you answer questions about your property and the insurance company estimates the cost of replacement of the structure. In my case, it’s about

Putting a catch-all at the root doesn’t keep you from catching exceptions before they get there.

My earthquake insurance is more like 0.1% and I'm pretty sure the rates are set by the state - where are you getting your numbers? If the cost were 0.5% I don't think it would be worth paying, that would buy a lot of seismic reinf

What you’re suggesting is essentially DRM for news, where only an approved subset of sources would be blessed as non-fake. Might as well go back to the days of 3 TV channels.

Perhaps more relevant for the concerns of the user: has any bank ever used this excuse?

It’s not being in another region that’s the problem, it’s moving . People tend to find forced moves traumatic and will go to great lengths to avoid them.

No way, no how is Google or any other decent employer going to uproot all their knowledge workers and make them unproductive for the foreseeable future by forcing them to move to another region. The diaspora from the Bay Area will keep happ

How on earth is rent control supposed to help with that? If anything, rent control makes being a landlord less appealing relative to selling to a Russian oligarch.

Out of curiosity, have you tried the triptan class of drugs? They are migraine pills that have some similarities to the tryptamines but are not psychoactive.
