It's not about the pocket for me, it's about being able to reach the screen when using the phone with just a single hand. I can barely do this on my 13 Pro (I skipped the 14 Pro), I sure can't on any Pro Max, and I sure under

If I got it right, 5x optical zoom is only available in 15 Pro Max, not the normal-sized 15 Pro.

Quite a stretch and not exactly a standardization issue (more like if something useful is implemented/supported or not), but lack of DisplayPort MST in MacBooks had upset some folks. More on point - the speculation about real fast char

"Identity provider" in technology is something that should be disavowed heavily, too. Identity is hard to define, but it's definitely not something that should be provided, unless we're talking about assuming others&#x27

Really? What are the signs of this coming? While racism is definitely a thing today, it seem to be dying. Slowly, but the trend is certain: modern society is way less racist than it was, say, a century ago (or worse, a few centuries ago). P

Most sci-fi stories involving human cloning that cover legal aspects seem to predict that laws will be updated to account for a possibility that crime was performed by a clone. Laws tend to lag behind technologies, but not too drastically.

IMHO the real proper solution is to have an SQL parser, so you can have your SQL represented as an AST, do some operations on it, then compile it back to a query. Sadly, I'm not aware of any good solutions to this. SQLAlchemy Core can

HTTP is different than SMTP or NNTP. A phone could work as a nice personal mailhost, if power management issues could be solved.

So the introduction says it’s “end-to-end encrypted” but all it does is a link to Wikipedia (which is useless). Is there any documentation on the security model? Vault has some at-rest encryption but IIRC explicitly says then don’t have any

I heard there was a lawsuit about this, but can't find the outcome. Can someone please enlighten me how that story ended (if it had - but I think it should, it's been quite a while ago)?

Drastically smaller fees, yes. It also works in emergencies, when other means are not available - which is a questionable thing, but crypto had allowed me to buy a plane ticket for my wife to leave Russia after the war had started.

As far as I know, it's not how it works. They essentially swapped USD for BTC. When the currency is crashing down like that, people try to discard it by bying something else (goods or other currencies). As I get it, exchanges were limi
