I mean, it is about as subtle as a middle school student or someone wearing a suit+tie on subway. I would notice them, but absolutely nobody would mind or care about it. People holding their phone up get pretty much the exact same treatment

I don't have much meaningful info to contribute to this, but it is interesting to observe how the rollout of the red light cams happens in different places, and how it eventually turns out. IIRC there was a point in time roughly around

The camera analogy breaks at one specific point: who determines the expressive elements of the final work. With photography, the human determines framing, angle, timing, lens, exposure. The camera just records light from a scene the human s

Those two hypothetical scenarios you listed don’t necessarily work the way you are describing it, which is why the whole logic and mechanisms behind the US copyright laws might seem incomprehensible or illogical to you. In reality, it is wa

Not needing to charge as much due to much better battery capacity and/or usage efficiency is objectively a good thing, full stop. How that additional time is actually spent is a whole separate story, but that's entirely tangential

Is there any evidence of this being an actual pattern? I cannot speak for the rest of the americans, but I, personally, haven’t noticed it because it didn’t seem to be the case to me at all. Asking because from my perception over the past 1

Yeah, good point. Your guess was right, I meant it in the sense of consistency, not in the sense of it being intuitive without knowing about it

Yeah, it is still there, and there is a pretty clear cut logic for when it will appear. If you tap while a word is selected, it won’t appear. If you tap on the cursor while a word isn’t selected, it will appear.

I think the idea isn't to really bring a firearm into the situation, it is just to tell the cops that you are considering doing so. Which, in your hypothetical "you might get extremely unlucky" scenario, should give you no pr

This is awesome, thanks for sharing this! I am especially impressed with the “i didn’t write a single line of code” part, because I was expecting it to be janky or slow on mobile, but it feels blazing fast just zooming around different area

The best PR that Cloudflare could possibly have here is just the demand letter from AGCOM (aka the Italian comms agency). Just reading what they are demanding from Cloudflare and their reasoning for it is enough to turn pretty much anyone t

Similarly, the music video for Taylor Swif[0] (another track by A$AP Rocky) is just as surrealistic and weird in the best way possible, but with an eastern european flavor of it (which is obviously intentional and makes sense, given the fil

If that's the case, then sure, that perspective is way more understandable. I didn't take it that way, because "in public", to me, implies that other people are fully exposed to it. I don't consider "in a priva

Just try calculating how many RTX 5090 GPUs by volume would fit in a rectangular bounding box of a small sedan car, and you will understand how. Honda Civic (2026) sedan has 184.8” (L) × 70.9” (W) × 55.7” (H) dimensions for an exterior boun

Sure, but even 200k/year is an order of magnitude less than 1.2mil/year (which is what the great-grandparent comment claimed, given their 100k/mo estimate).

Agreed on pretty much all points. There is no "ultimate audio equipment piece" that is just perfect in all aspects, and the choice criteria are spread across both user preferences and specific use-cases as well. I love the new air
