To try and remove myself from Google as much as possible I've been trying Apple Maps again after previous bad experiences, and much prefer it now. The only exception is place information, including opening hours etc, for which Google i

I loved living in Edinburgh's New Town because of the tenement blocks. The huge windows were a life saver in the winter because they let in so much light. (Not so sure about the energy efficiency of single-glazed sash windows though).

This happens if you're using Cloudflare DNS: https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/ (Sounds like iCloud private relay may do the same for the same reasons).

I don't get this either, and would be very interested in a clear explanation.

When studying fine art, a tutor of mine talked about "things that look like art", by which she meant the work that artists produce when they're just engaging with surface appearances rather than fully engaging with the proces

Not OP, but I imagine they want their bank to agree with their viewpoint on crypto, and stop other customers creating risks by association.

Would be funny to see someone fork this and just change "blacklist" to "whitelist".

This just isn't true, certainly in the sense that I meant it. What about a breast cancer charity who wants to raise awareness of the early signs of breast cancer? A domestic violence charity who wants to raise awareness of the signs th

Never our decision you mean ;) Funnily enough, the nonprofit space can be even tricker to dissuade from tracking. ROI in nonprofits can be really ephemeral if the the aim is "raising awareness" whereas if you're selling somet

This is fantastic, and I hope it stands up on the presumably inevitable appeal. It's the most obvious way of eventually getting rid of per-site cookie notices - make DNT legally enforceable and cookie notices become irrelevant for peop

I always find it enormously frustrating when stories like this only include one picture, like this one does. Pictures would really help in understanding what the overall shape looks like, and surely they exist. Either way, while frustratedl

All the hallmarks of a policy from a government that has entirely run out of ideas. An easy target because it's mostly young people, who are never going to vote Tory at the next election. Stupid that they're spending time on this

Not offering an opinion one way or the other on either of these, but the government does have plans to ban tobacco in a phased approach, so someone who's 14 now would never be able to buy tobacco legally.

My experience of those buttons (Sainsburys in the UK) is that they fail at lesat 50% of the time and require someone to come over to verify the bag before you can continue scanning.

This is a great edition of the BBC radio programme In Our Time, about how the engineer Joseph Bazalgette was given the task of building proper sewerage for London after the "Great Stink" of 1858. It's remarkable how much more

This looks like a privacy nightmare, even for the wearer - aren't going going to have to continuously ask for permission for every single person that you're in recording distance of when not in a public space?

I think the point is that most people have extremely-low-to-zero motivation to spend time actually thinking about that question, so they pick whatever makes the request go away. I know I'm like that, exemplified by the fact that if the

I hadn’t heard that about Singer’s philosophy (unsurprisingly as I’ve read very little of his work). It’s interesting for me in that it lines up with Kahnemann & Tversky’s “losses loom larger than gains” heuristic in psychology.

This feels a bit like survivor's bias. Or perhaps more accurately akin to the file drawer problem in academia. This may have worked really quickly this time for this specific use case, but what about the vast number of times a prompt l
