Yes. About 4 times poorer. (Scoping to the domain of “buying a house” which is a huge driving factor in having children) > Median home prices increased 121% nationwide since 1960, but median household income only increased 29%.[0] [0]

Thats a big bet. Hope that you will get to some enlightenment by doing something that is irreversible, life changing and veeeery expensive. It’s like buying a 1M dollar without seeing it and having someone tell you “you’ll love it when you

In the Seattle area 5k towards childcare will get you about 1.5 to 2 months of childcare.

Why are e-scooters banned on trains? That’s sad. A small scooter for a last mile commute sounds great.

I see your point, but on my network I want that ability. I want to have my tv connect to YouTube, but not phone Sony/Samsung/whoever. I want to be able to setup a pihole to block adds independently of the browser/device being

Sure, this problem was fixed. But with this attitude and lack of recognition, the next bug that this person could have fixed, won't be.

(just about app stores) I'd love a middle ground, but if I'm forced to choose, I'd prefer that there weren't other "app stores" on the iPhone, for many of the reasons stated above. But the funny thing is, both

I think they were doing something like going to settings -> Apple ID try to change the password incorrectly many times (or something like that). That would basically lock you out of your own iCloud account (at least for a while) so you c

We desperately need OS level user configurable firewalls. I need to be able to download an app and tell the OS “this app cannot access the internet in any way shape or form”. It won’t solve all the problems. But at least for apps like “alar

Thanks for the explanation and the term "severability". I understand its point now and it makes sense to have it conceptually. I also didn't know about this part: > so long as it's not fundamentally a change to the co

I don't understand why in both contracts and legal communication (particularly threatening one), there is little to no consequence for the writing party to get things right. I've seen examples of an employee contract, with things

That chart confuses me. Each data point is percentage increase vs the PREVIOUS year? So the "steep dive" that you talk about is a single year -1.7% decrease vs a decade of constant increase, going as high as 4.6% in a single year?

I’ve been a happy user of 1 password for 5+ years, but I’m considering changing. This goes beyond date format for me. Issues like these show that the company is not committed to listening to feedback and addressing issues. It erodes my trus

I agree. This is essentially how Apple handles subscriptions. If you created a subscription using Apple Pay, you can go to settings and cancel it from there. It’s one of the reasons I value Apple Pay.

Well. I got stuck. Rule 9: The Roman numerals in your password should multiply to 35 Rule 14: Name this country (Malasysia for me) Given that M=1000 in roman numerals, I need to find x such that x*1000=35 How do I write 0.035 in Roman Numer

Phones already have app permissions: can access you contact, can access your location... But no major phone OS provides a reliable "can access the internet" permission (without jailbreak/root). This would solve this issue muc

Bit of a sidenote but I heard that in China iOS has a setting to disallow an app from accessing the internet (either wifi, cellular or both). Why can't that feature make it to the the rest of the world?

Hi Edgar!. One question/feedback that you hopefully take in the positive light it is intended: what is the differentiating factor of this app? How is this different (today) to a shared Calendar? I do see the beautiful UI, but to gain

Legit question: is it "detriment to a generic diversified portfolio" or "detriment to a specific diversified portfolio"? (As in if my portfolio is diversified and it got decreased in value I have grounds to sue)

Agree!. I'd love to live in a world where if the button I click reads "buy" then by law I actually own that: * It can't be taken away [1]. * I can lend it to anyone I want [2]. * I can sell it to whomever I want, for w

Oh I agree that the article is very interesting. I never said otherwise. I was using the resource of hyperbole. I _know_ that the article is more subtle than "lie -> no consent". Through the two examples I was trying to say th

So if I hit the "agree" button on TOS that are long and complex enough that I am not expected to reasonably understand, I am not bounded by them, because I never provided consent? What if instead of TOS, we're talking about t

I use 1-password and I don't agree with it being Apple-oriented. Their integration with Apple OSs is awesome, but their Windows solutions work really well as well. I'm very happy with it.

A lack of net neutrality can be exploited without you (as a casual internet user) knowing it. It could be AT&T going to Netflix and telling them "Give me money or Netflix will be slower than Hulu". Netflix would pay, and you w

Legitimate question: assume I sell a service that costs $7. If I understand Apple's current restrictions I sell it for $10 on the app and for $7 on my website, correct? If so, can I put a banner on my app that says "hey, you can b
