Reading this thread, I can't help but wonder if some folks are confusing phantom braking on radar-adaptive cruise (a really widespread issue and common trait of radar based cruise) with AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) activation. In

On an infinite time scale, I think this comment will not age well, personally. Who knows if it will be Neuralink, but some kind of widely used brain interface seems inevitable to me now. Who is to say subsequent versions will require anythi

Scotland has Right to Roam legislation via its Land Reform Act that works pretty well (folks take advantage of it all the time in the highlands), that was an Act of the Scottish Parliament though and only applies to Scotland. The rules in E

You are using a very narrow definition of "immersive" here - personally I don't think graphical realism is necessary to provide immersive experiences. Sure it can help, but its a very shallow way to think about gaming broadly

I think you've probably described exactly whats happening - they do want to stop supporting the public API, but only for third party clients. There are other API access use cases they want to support. If the pricing kills third party c

Debatable - supporting a small number of users on the public API may be a legitimate technical debt issue, and a running cost as the API can't change without a lot of documentation, release planning to support all those third party s

Maybe, but I'd still take the other side of this bet sadly. Is there any data on usage rates for third party Reddit clients? Anecdotally, I don't know anyone outside of tech who would even notice this change, really.

This is a story practically as old as the internet at this point. Grow with open API and third party client ecosystem, but ultimately shut the hatches and revert to single in-house client stacks to maximize control of the user experience an

I'm absolutely aware of this. It doesn't change the fact most professional medium to large enterprises will want to follow along, so whether it's truly legally binding or not is a moot point in reality a lot of the time.

How does licensing work, or am I hopelessly out of date? My understanding is historically the EULA-type thing on the OS only allowed you to virtualize on another Mac running macOS, or something along these lines, similar to other comment ab

Hence my use of the word "likely" - it was never stated as fact. Your own personal example is 80 percent of the way there!

Its generally approximately a decade in my experience, and your advice is not applicable to Indian citizens (of which there are many, many waiting in the quota line). Your fast example is possible but not the norm outside of marriage.

Agreed, It's also worth remembering the recipients of work visas can't vote either, nor can green card holders, so not a constituency that rewards a political party at the ballot box for policy change, which also likely contribute
