I don't think the Mob could have written a more devious, anti-consumer, draconian law if they'd been given free reign. "That's some nice software you got there... be a shame if something were to... happen... to it. So, y

Nope. That post was asking about the difference between stripping in a club, and streaming sex work on the web.

Parent was talking about strip club laws, not prostitution laws.

Apply Occam's Razor. Why would the most successful company in history—a success gained in no small part through protecting users, selling hardware and services instead of their data, and promoting and enhancing privacy as a first-cla

Installing any third-party software that inspects network traffic makes attacks which weren't previously possible now possible, since that software can be targeted.

And—apparently—gatekeeping what is a " real " programming language.

If HTML is a programming language, then what, pray tell, are the artifacts in which that language is caused to produce output called?

It's probably telling that I'm a) older and b) paranoid that my internal translation of RCE was "Resume Creating Event"; e.g. a screw-up so bad that a new resume was needed to be produced to begin a new job search.

How do I keep software I don't want to run from shipping on the phone? How do I keep an ad company from building a profile of me from my phone?

I only use Apple phones because I'm against anyone else being able to run whatever they want on my pocket computer. Apple has built a huge trust with my information, and that's impossible to find anywhere else.

By that rationale, Apple and Microsoft are Chinese companies.

I think the key attribute of "Any %" disconnecting success from actual content completion is essential for this sort of thing to succeed, but also what separates it from the mundane definition of "beating the game."

If we solve that problem, we'd be halfway to solving them all.

It's like an amateur poker player sitting down with WPT pros. The pros don't know how to read the amateurs, who make nominally suboptimal plays, and can be disrupted briefly. All part of the market staying irrational.

As much as I love them, there are not a lot of Apple Stores within walking distance of housing their least-paid employees can afford.

Right now it seems to be exploited to spam support for... a particular candidate.

Sure, it would be transparency. Why don't they just break down how every percent is allocated? How much is food? How much is electricity? How much is grey-market nootropics?

That's people getting scammed into migrant labor. Hardly a choice they'd make if they knew the facts. I don't see a parallel to someone buying a premium device, at a premium price, expecting—and getting—a premium experience.

Because the people with the same attitude as that guy are—mindboghlingly—in power. There are plenty of people who reject that rhetoric. That's what BLM is, as a currently-relevant, specific example. The problem is the aforementioned un

Because the propaganda machine serves the suckers' self-centric worldview first and foremost, "unites" them, galvanizes them, and exploits their selfishness and greed to weaponize them against "the other". That&#x

Not a lot of people immigrating to China willingly for that analogy to hold up.

Home Depot won't disallow B&D from putting "cheaper at Lowe's" on their boxes, but they would absolutely stop carrying and selling them.

It's keeping the users who have chosen Apple's products from being weaponized-via-guilt-trip against them.

A lot compared to what? What other market is like Apple's?

We haven't had an Equinox on normal time in years. I'm all for putting the sun straight up at noon, though!

The other day I described my love for Synthwave music as "futuristic music written today, as though in a past that never was, imagining a future that is still yet-to-be."

Pour one out for Lake Charles, though. It's not a major city, but it's right in the blast zone of this monster storm.

Thousands of tons of explosives. That said, I believe the article mentions the nitrates being removed during that time.
