And now the root cause makes sense, corruption of money over what these institutions are meant to be for. Money really does taint all around it.

One realises that one’s time is relative anyway and any universal time is just one’s own will to join a collective agreement that one doesn’t have to abide by. Then one puts this notion aside and prefers not to worry oneself with such thing

and now you just described every dev ever becoming more of a lawyer than a dev. why would we want that?

Actually data shows that adults are way better at learning languages than children. Children just have 100s of hours of doing nothing besides learning languages so they succeed faster in calendar time. If you spent all day every day learnin

I’ve spent hours trying to find a review of transparent mode on AirPods or any other similar transparency modes with regards to reducing wind noise amplification while still allowing sounds of cars etc. through. I’m looking for a good solut

I’m sad to see you being downvoted. I agree completely. Somehow the richest company in the world paying for this burden on us all is a bad idea :/

I liked one of the answers in another thread, “did you go to the arcade as a kid?”. I think as children we enjoy fantasy and are more able to suspend belief to take part in it. Games almost all have some fantasy wrapped around the mechanics

Except remote code execution wasn’t the reason google claims to take the add on down... come on, it’s a clear conflict of interest, and they could have easily asked to remove remote code execution possibility instead.

I disagree, every company on the top fines list has more money in proportion to the fine than the examples the parent comment gave, except maybe the bank. These fines are so tiny no one will ever care about user privacy or data security.

Is that easy to do? I thought WhatsApp didn’t allow api access.

Sounds great! Let me know when you’ve built it so I can try it out :)

I’d love to switch to telegram, but their default messages aren’t even end to end encrypted. And secure messages are not available for groups. So it’s not a great option for privacy actually.

Exactly, the usage of iOS in some countries is high, and that’s where WhatsApp didn’t win as the most used chat.

Thanks for the positive outlook among many negative ones :) I hope we can find a good alternative in the market. Anyone know of alternatives that allow end to end encryption with group chat support so far?

Sadly the law is written in a way that let’s the optional part be disregarded if the business considers the data that’s being shared necessary to run its business model... and advertising companies like Facebook will argue all data can help

Actually that’s the same with slack, each slack server has a unique url too.

It's only that way if you think of money and time as equivalent, which I assume from your tone you do. For many parents, time with their child during those early months is invaluable, and no money compensation can compare, so it's

True, but at while later of “tech” is useful to you? I often solve problems with only google sheets. Why bother with an app if you don’t need it. Same for other layers of “infra”.

Actually the correct fix is correctly flagging the field as a password field, which fixes the capitalisation problem on iOS and Android.

An anecdote from South Africa: SMS was charged per message at very high rates. MMS even higher. Mobile data, while expensive too, was much cheaper per message. Also, free wifi was quite common in many urban areas. All this at a time when Wh

Actually I think the comparison is a good one, but mostly due to governments acting in their own interest rather than the interest of the people :)

But the algorithm wasn’t programmed to act in the customer’s interest. It was programmed in amazons.

But it’s not a search tool. It’s a make Amazon money tool, as all their tools are. I think you misunderstand why amazon build these tools if you think they are to make your life easier in trying to locate things to buy on their site. That’s

Look for details of the audio processing in the tech specs. Even better, check a good reputable review site like headfi.

Not sure if that was an intentional mistype of "sweat spot", but given your description of their competence level I read that as a word play on sweating due to the nervousness of their code being ready to blow up vs. "sweet s

While I agree supplementing with cycling or running is great, on the boulders if you’re too “top heavy” try focusing on “wobbly” problems more. Find a gym with a slab wall, and practice balance style climbing where you don’t need strength i

Sorry to hijack the top comment, but can the title here be changed please to reflect the reality of the situation. Mastercard are not doing what this title says.

Totally agree, it seems crazy that my country of origin can figure out how to have a free online filing system and the US can't. Not sure how to characterise the problem, since corruption isn't a simple enough measure, we have ton

Perhaps the reason for that is it’s been tested on Safari on an iPhone but not on Firefox on a fast desktop processor because the method used to animate is something fast in 1 browser but not in the other. Perhaps your comment didn’t consid
