Why should you bother to look at an image nobody could be bothered to create? Why should you watch a movie nobody could be bothered to film? Why should you bother to run a program nobody could be bothered to write? My gut response was to ag

Yes, abortion also ends a human life. However, bringing up miscarriage is bizarre as a justification for feeling ok with it. It’s the difference between a man dying of old age in his sleep vs putting a gun to his head in his sleep because h

This page kept changing to a new article as I tried to read it. Very frustrating.

If, as the article says, you like instant coffee, then great.

I don’t get it. These voices all have a not-so-subtle vibration in them that makes them feel worse than Siri to me. I was expecting a lot better.

What evidence? What papers examine this question and finds that those things make a difference? I’m curious.

That’s a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. When I read the title I was thinking of a very different implementation, but I couldn’t figure out how to make it work.

At least we would get US-made chips out of it, though...

I believed this for a time, but now I believe it is an urban legend. Granted a plausible one, and one that might be true in the future... but not true as of yet.

The 2021 announcement works out to $86B per year. The 2025 announcement works out to $125B per year. In my mind that’s a pretty substantial increase.

> "should the rest of us with smartphones pay for that bank office?” Yes! There are many things you cannot do without a physical bank location. It is worth paying[1] something to have them. I used to use an online-only bank, but I

I’m confused. Why would 1 + 10% obviously be 0.11? I expected 1.1 (which is what my iOS calculator reported, when I got curious). I do understand the question of parsing. I just struggle to understand why the first one is confidently stated

Given the rejection of science and extreme virtue signaling the US has had for the last 20 years, I’m a bit skeptical that a slight turning back from that would make any difference to our allies.

If they don’t, then will the bleeding edge technologies ever be used by more serious apps? Will it even be ready if we don’t test it with easier use-cases?

I run multiple Discourse sites. You can spin that however you want. People have personal data on my sites for sure. Is that “tracking” in your book? What about in the EU’s book? Anyway, I’m not going to read the GDPR to find out whether tha

It’s your job, and you’ve put more time into this than I will ever put into it. True. You (hopefully) understand the law better than me and the commenter you replied to. But you certainly haven’t convinced me to read the GDPR legislation

In other words, the EU mandates that I follow their law, even though they have no jurisdiction over me. I can follow it by refusing to track PII, or I can follow it by “blocking” Europe on the WWW. I can’t be bothered to figure out how to d

How am I supposed to put up a website intended for US citizens onto the world -wide-web, without worrying about GDPR?

Kind of like the EU overreach on privacy. Whether it’s for a good cause or a bad one, these sorts of overreach are to be opposed.

I wasn’t saying advertising served no purpose and had no benefit. I just asked a question to point out the absurdity of the comparison. Perhaps ads are like bacteria, both good, bad and indifferent. But specifically calling out the fact tha

If they wanted more applicants, then they shouldn’t have been disqualifying good applicants on the basis of their biography.

So what case is this? I’m assuming something app-store related?

I’m curious what the security of these NFC lock systems looks like. (I’m talking about the commercial building systems mentioned like Brivo and Unifi, not home systems.) In particular, I know unifi cards rotate keys. So you can’t simply clo

What I can’t figure out is why the old readers, which clearly read NFC cards, can’t work to read iPhones, which emit NFC. I understood in the past that iPhones weren’t supported because of the limitations described in the article. I figured

That claim is being questioned by sources quoted in this article.
