It's incredible that Obama was just given a complete pass on that. But knowing what we know now about the media, it's not really all that surprising.

> You don't have to subsidize digging down another cable for streaming. You don't have to, but your streaming content is usually being delivered over the same cable that provides TV anyway.

Many streaming subscriptions have ads on their cheapest tiers, requiring you to pay more if you don't want to see ads. And if you're watching anything live, whether it's streaming or cable, you're getting ads regardless.

I'm not building a strawman at all. Let me make my position even more clear: I don't want to live near multi-family housing. I want it to remain illegal for it to be built near me. Leave the suburbs alone. Every single place you p

Nobody is talking about buying or selling zoning laws. However, the value of property and the taxes paid on it are very much impacted by zoning laws. So people absolutely do make decisions on buying property based on zoning laws. The value

Too bad? Hilarious. Stay in your concrete hellhole, and stop acting like you know what's best for everyone else. If I wanted to live like you, I'd live where you do. And no matter how much you want my area to change (because you c

Forcing poor people into rich areas will make them stop being poor. Or so I've gathered.

Manhattan is Manhattan. My nice, quiet suburb is not Manhattan.

I don't know what to tell you. I just don't want to be surrounded by high-rise apartment buildings. I didn't buy a nice house in a nice suburb to stare at giant cement buildings. It's that simple.

Just build high-density housing in rich areas! And then what, you expect rich people to move in? They won't. Poor people are going to move in. And the rich people who made that area nice in the first place are going to flee, because it

America is not Europe. It will never be Europe. Things that work in Europe may not work in America, and vice-versa.

You're never going to win anyone over with the tired "if you disagree with me, you're a racist" BS. Low-income, high-density housing attracts problems. It has literally nothing to do with race. You could guarantee that t

You're very lucky, then. It's probably been 20 years or so since I've even bothered attempting using an email server on my residential connection.

Ah, sorry. I didn't realize this problem was solved for the general public already :)

That's a totally separate issue, and I generally agree with you. Apple should put in some work on this as well, and they have not. But that still doesn't mean RCS is good.

What's stopping you from having group chats with your Android-using friends? I have plenty of them on my iPhone.

For all intents and purposes, progress stopped with carriers after MMS came around. Hey, you can send pics and videos now! And group messages! It's good! RCS requires carriers to implement it. We don't need RCS, we need something

The point is that if we're going to finally replace SMS (which we should) then we should replace it with a protocol that's better. Saying "you can get spam on SMS, so who cares if RCS can spam you too?" is ridiculous. Ma

That's fantastic that you have a mobile number that works. How can you use it on a WiFi-only tablet to send messages to people using that number? Yeah, I know, you use third-party apps for that. That's not the point.

So we (Apple brand fans) must adopt a garbage standard (RCS) just because the brand you're a fan of (Google/Android) created and adopted it? RCS is crap and needs to die. Apple and Google should work together on a better standard.

by jaywalk 4y ago
Yes, you do need Apple hardware to use iMessage. But as your quote states, there are no other monthly fees associated with it. You don't need a cellular plan, or indeed even a device with cellular connectivity at all. And you can still

I don't think it's being framed as an XOR situation. I think the article is trying to say that RCS is a shit standard (it is) and that Apple shouldn't adopt it because that would essentially solidify it as the replacement for

Because it was hosted on GitHub initially, and they took it down. There's clearly a protest angle here, and it'll be interesting to watch this play out.

I can capture the TPMS data from my neighbor's vehicles from inside my house, with a barely-optimized antenna. It's not that low power.

I agree. But although I've never used GCP, I get the feeling that an account of my size would not get the same treatment.
