You don't know me and there is no way you infer that about me from the 3-4 online message exchanges we have had in this thread. And then you seem to go all in and level the same baseless accusation about everyone(?) on this planet. Tha

The problem with Windows RT was the gimped API. If Microsoft had used that opportunity to completely do away with their "backwards compatibility is sacrosanct" ethos and exposed an equally capable API then app developers would hav

Where you are getting population level statistics that show beyond doubt that most people if they did not have to work to survive then they would be spending their time on "caring" for other people and on similar altruistic endeav

Why do you get to decide what’s on the approved list of the things that we need? I ate 2 extra toast with dark chocolate peanut butter today. Certainly didn’t need it but eh it’s the holidays. Where does that fall on your morality chart? Is

Well that’s on you brother. I like what I do and I like that I take responsibility for my life and that I am not handed anything.

That’s a lot of hand waving. Being a worthy mentor to students is an admirable life’s calling for sure but there is no reason to leap to the conclusion that are hundreds of thousands of people who would be perfect for this if only they were

Haha why not just increase the threshold at which you get taxed? Same end result except no one gets money for doing nothing. Those on low incomes get to keep all their earnings.

Ok well that is science fiction at the moment. The way you are talking about it and sections of the internet talk about it, like it just around the corner. Alright fine, in the world where we have infinite energy and resources yeah sure eve

Someone has to produce the goods that we all need. If "a significant portion of the population" is off doing leisure activities how would we survive? What about game theory in that situation, tit-for-tat prisoners dilemma? Why sho

How will it learn then? Will it remain static with only the initial seed of knowledge we initiate it with? Will it have opinions about anything? How would it arrive at those opinions? Or are its opinions a config file that we load up?

I wonder what the end game is in the reality where we do achieve Artificial General Intelligence? It seems like a ethical minefield to me. You have companies like Uber/Lyft/Tesla (and presumably the rest of the gig economy mob) wa

I think you will find most theological traditions aka religions have a lot of common ground. So much so that you can actually abstract out lot of the ancient wisdom from the religion itself. The book "Happiness Hypothesis" by John

I am sorry you will have spell it out for me because I still don’t understand; what were the distribution terms she wanted? And how would those terms have resulted in different outcomes?

What is your point? Did she consent to and get paid for the porn she made in later years or not?

I run pi-hole with recursive dns so I was able to see what domains any app contacts and then I am able to lock it down on my local network no problem. On my devices (iPhone / iPad) I also use Lockdown app which allows you to blacklist

I like the Apple Books app because - It syncs across all my devices. No 3rd party storage like Dropbox required. In fact what I don't like is GoodReader asks for too broad an access to Dropbox/OneDrive if you try to set it up. - B

That not remembering the last page you were at in Books drives me crazy. My iPad would be the perfect device for reading PDF books especially technical and maths text books, if weren't for the Chinese torture of whether it will remembe

The Microsoft blog post on this incident has more details on how the attackers might have managed to get their malware digitally signed by Solarwinds https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2020/12/13/c

Solarwinds is not your average software company. Look at their customer list. They would have had ISO certifications and independent 3rd party audits done a billion times. Those type of companies don't even speak to you if you don&#x27

Exactly my thoughts and confusion. It was a valid signed component of the Solarwinds application... so.... how did the attackers manage to sign it and publish it as a legitimate update? I used to work at a bank and any software deployment

I have seen that business orgs within an enterprise with their own P/L usually end up doing an end-run around IT and just buy MacBooks from suppliers or directly from Apple. Funnily enough, both times I saw this happen (at a large bank

The extra cognitive load that results from having to use Vue's templating DSL (domain specific language) makes it worse than React IMO. You have to context switch out of javascript and then back again. It is tedious and unnecessarily.

Click the “+” symbol next to favourites and you can add back the unified Spam & Bin folders. But I agree with your sentiment what a weird regression to make. Just annoy your users for what purpose?
