Mind naming the one you used? We'll have a spare iPhone soon when my wife upgrades and it might be time for me to go back to iOS after many years. I'm just a bit worried about some apps and things that might be harder to migrate l

What happened since the 60s in your opinion? If I were to guess, it seems pubic policy in recent decades has often been founded on shaky ground. Anti-communism, anti-drug policy, various health/welfare policies, and so on are often not

Well, one argument would be quality vs quantity, i.e. some people may not weigh all lives equally. Fascist systems seem to be good at promoting such outcomes.

I was working on an ecommerce site once and we got emails when customers left reviews/feedback. I forwarded them to customers because it was a convenient way to show their comments then follow up. Then I noticed that some of the text w

I read it was more about institutional dysfunction. It examines a different one (police, media, unions, schools, politics, etc) and we see how what the people want or do doesn't really matter a lot in the end - the system has a life of

Ad spend by incumbents will also drive up the price of advertising in general since it's a limited resource, making an uphill battle for the smaller competitors where it matters. It's another moat.

Yes I don't see how this isn't 'passing off' in a trademark sense, when I hear about some of the worst offenders.

Quite young still but I can't remember exactly. Definitely under 2 years and probably under 1, they mature quickly. He pretty much hates me now (male) but likes my wife, even though I feed him every day.

Interesting the behaviour mellowed after the fact. When we did it for our rabbit - because he'd already become a little grumpy and aggressive bundle of hate - the vet said it's probably too late to revert the changes but at least

> OnlyFans’ 20% cut of its creators’ revenues might be most usefully compared to Patreon’s 10% take-rate. That sounds much better than the app stores with their 30% (until recently for Apple) and Twitch which takes a whopping 50% of a $5

I really like the idea behind Facebook's 2G Tuesdays, but I'm not sure if it helped achieve anything apart from PR, or if it's still going.

X-Frame-Options should fix it now? If a server sets that header, the browser shouldn't show it in a frame. But of course, the server has to be set up properly. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web&#x2F

I agree with your general point and never pre-order anymore for those reasons. However: people are getting refunds. In countries with consumer protection laws, it looks like there is little downside to buying in to the hype, if you can get

I think December was more about Christmas sales than appeasement. They didn't want to miss the holiday season and have to wait months more for people to pay off their debts.

Gamers unfortunately often make an argument equating number of hours to value for money. Padded open world games are the natural result. You trade a nice, tight narrative for an experience spread thin over more hours.

The 'var' keyword has to be one of my favourite C# features.

While that food doesn't look healthy I don't think it would be enough to become obese alone from a calorie perspective, unless portion sizes are massive (you said one sandwich but maybe it was multiple?). Especially with a teenage

This is true but the purpose of such lists of rules is that they are easy to follow for people who otherwise would have no idea what to do. Every rule has exceptions and once someone tries such a system for a time they'll probably lear

Interesting. I also just remembered that I've walked around corners a bit too close after marathon FPS sessions when I was younger (apparently I forgot I wasn't modeled a point, and had shoulders that bump into things).

I wonder if there is any hangover of this acclimation when going back to the real world? If you get immune to that feeling of danger when driving towards obstacles, will it show up in a real car? I know that personally I once binged GTA V h

That sounds reasonable, I've helped edit a few things and need to decide on each pass whether I'm reading for content or structure. Totally different mindset. I've also found when I'm deep in a problem solving mode like

It should still say the assumed TZ as others note. Many people use VPNs and geo-ip lookup is not infallible anyway. Edit: Apparently it's browser settings, which means you need scripting enabled for this page.

The article seems to confuse these too. "Lonely people have been found, for example, to focus more on internal thoughts, perhaps to compensate for their lack of actual social experiences." Well, for me, I daydream and live in my h

I think that would be more analogous to receiving a message, parsing it, then realising the payload is another signed message, and then validating that. Depending on the situation, signing the container might not even be necessary, much lik
