And this is, honestly, a pretty reasonable default. For the average person, the failure mode is "I lost my phone, and I can't remember my iCloud password", not "I really need the cops to not be able to get into my backup

That's a factor, but I think the H1-B lock-in is more important. Assuming no mistreatment at all is occurring, an employee who you can be fairly confident won't quit still has extra value to you. The H1-B requiring that the employ

Yes, that's why I said it's a difference that Apple could support RCS if they wanted to.

I'm not really opposed to this so long as they don't wind up regulating away (or otherwise compromising) the end-to-end encryption for iMessage.

They're answering the question about why people would use iMessage. It's fine if you don't like their reason, but claiming that they don't understand their own answer is a bit weird. > Oh, and if Google would replace,

Depends on the specific thing, but generally it's because there might be consequences to doing things poorly that would spill onto your neighbors, or which might cost the local government money to fix after it hurts or kills you. It&#x

Yeah, I think the real target of this kind of marketing is indie/student filmmakers. People whose entire budget for a short film is a few thousand dollars they've pooled together.

Expanding slightly on this, the cheapest Red Camera costs $6k (and I think might not include a lens?), so that's a pretty big savings.

I don't, sorry. I know people who do, but I don't have direct personal experience with doing so. None of them had any negative outcomes from it with occasional larger doses, but as far as I know none of them went too extreme on th

Yeah, I saw it in a bunch of places. It didn't take off as a major controversy in the public consciousness, but that doesn't seem to be because it was hidden away.

As someone who's into more light-hearted fare... The After Party is fun. It's a murder-mystery, with each episode retelling the same night of the murder in the style of a different film genre. Rashomon-y, but more about playing wi

For what it's worth, from my understanding, you've got a lot of room before that even hits what's considered a "normal" recreational dose -- which I think is around 3.5g of dried psilocybin. Broadly speaking, if you

This is a pretty shady looking protection racket -- "nice business you've got here, be a shame if something were to happen to it". With the difference from traditional gang/mafia activity just being that they'll get

Mind you, the theoretical advantage here is that it's money you're making that doesn't require you to have $50k sitting around all at once time.

It's a tangent, but that $10 roast beef sandwich is gigantic . I was surprised when they rolled out such an expensive food court item, and so I bought it, and I couldn't finish it. I took half of it home to eat later. I am not a

Not the person you're responding to, but from how they phrased it I suspect they'd be annoyed that they're having to pay for YouTube Music as part of Premium.

Based on the rate of changes to the software for Kindles, I have to assume that their Kindle dev team is one or two people working on it in their spare time, so maybe it's lumped under the heading of "legacy format issues, we&#x

Even new Kindles are still a bit of a pain when dealing with ePubs, unfortunately. You can't just copy them onto the device, because the Kindle itself doesn't support ePub. What Amazon did is change its Send To Kindle email&#x2F

I work with Gerrit in my job, and find a stack of patches to be a useful way to deal with things... but I've also seen that it definitely has a learning curve for people who're not used to it. There's something to be said f

It's there, but I suspect it applies more earlier in their careers. Once we're at the "I only have a few years left to live anyway" point, it's probably less of a motivation.

I think it's mostly ego. You're a powerful and successful person, the kind of type-A personality who can get all the way to the top of a fairly exclusive profession, and you wind up thinking you're irreplaceable. "I coul

Yes, that's harder to do now -- it's now double-tap the crown and then tap the app. (Which will either be the frontmost app if you're on a watch face, or the second frontmost app if you're actually in another app.)
