Is this necessarily a problem? I don't have the resources to litigate a multi-billion dollar company over their dishonest practices. But if someone knocked on my door and said they'd take all the financial risk I'd be all ove

On the other hand I found it eyeopening. I love Apple’s privacy stance and have bought in. However this article made me realize that if apple ever wanted to flip the switch and monetize the data they’d have a treasure trove to work from. It

Wow, so that actually deters me from libertarian ideals. It sounds like your logic is something like the following: Government is corruptible, so we should have small/weak governments. But, a small gov. doesn't solve the root prob

I can’t help but feel that this is all by design. Legislators require financing from corporations for re-election, corps don’t want whistleblowers because it risks their bottom line. Therefore legislators don’t improve protections. Does eve

Even worse I've had front end systems accept account creation with this address format, but their backend system fails when using some integrated service. The result is 3 months after setting up the account something breaks when I try

Facebook is the business that enables this problem on their platform. This problem could disappear overnight if Facebook decided to moderate their platform. Facebook chooses profitability over a safe platform for their users. This is where

I think it's larger than you think. In some regions ICUs are filled with covid patients and surgeries are being cancelled as a result.

I think I'm missing something. Where is the government trying to force vaccines? That's not my understanding of the announcement.

Yeh, that's science. As we learn more the guidance is refined. Generally speaking for decades the guidance has been to eat a well balanced diet—that hasn't changed. There is also a second issue, government agencies have been co-op

Thank you for sharing. > some believe mandates are illegal and constitute government tyranny This isn't a vaccine mandate. You are free to choose to be tested or vaccinated. Do you feel being forced to make this choice is tyranny, i

I don't see the hypocrisy. Get vaccinated or get tested for covid weekly. It's your choice. We need to get back to normal, continuing with our previous approach wasn't working, so we have to do something. This seems like a he

I haven't spoken to an anti-vaxxer yet. Those that I've seen in the media have been completely irrational (5g/bill gates theories). So, I'm looking forward to learning from a rational person what their motivations are. W

We focus far too much time teaching calculus and trigonometry in school. Applied statistics would be far more relevant for nearly everyone.

And now as I connect between ipv4 to v6, connect to my VPN, switch from wifi to mobile data each change requires a login and I very quickly abandon your app for one that doesn’t force multiple authentications throughout the day.

In my opinion you don’t. Rely on the authentication provider to handle that responsibility. Services like duo/Okta perform this risk assessment and may opt to request a mfa request.

I like your solution better. Another App Store protects commerce. But a lot of the arguments are about protecting consumers. Your solution empowers consumers to truly do what they want. Instead of doing what an arbitrary App Store allows.

A trick that helped me was to put time limits on my apps. Then I set the access code to a random number and wrote that number down and put the paper in an inconvenient spot (eg. My basement cellar). The result is there is just enough fricti

Fast swap batteries is the solution. I remember a company years back was taking this approach. If we standardize on battery size/format. Then it becomes possible to drive up. Have a machine swap out the battery, and have you off again

I like your analogy. I'll add another. VHS. The early adopter to VHS tapes was the porn industry. No longer did people have to watch porn in a seedy movie theater, they could do it privately at home. So, yeh, early adopters may often b
