For what it's worth as a long time Apple user, I don't have any use for this feature. I think Apple knows this, which probably contributes to they have punted it for so long. shrug

You don't pay for everything in dollars. You pay for things with opportunity cost, time, energy, mental effort, etc. in addition to your local currency.

What would it take for you to start using these things? I use almost all of the native apps (messages, notes, safari, FaceTime, maps, etc) so I like seeing improvements and appreciate that they aren't rotting.

I just can't enraged by a platform enforcing their rules. Don't use their platform, or play by their rules?

The converse statement is something like "Japan is not an eastern society" which just sounds... laughably incorrect.

Why do you think this is specifically a 'western society' thing? Browse Japanese sites and online tools and there is just as much gamification and 'thrilling' graphics and animation - if not more. Github looks like a tec

What happens if people who receive UBI still need assistance? Do we ignore them and say "should have spent your UBI better"? Do we support them with existing or new welfare systems? I'm genuinely curious.

The author sold "95%", not all, for what it's worth. I am not an economist, or a professional investor - I am a complete amateur and mostly ignorant, but it bothers me that folks are treating "14.7% unemployment" as

I appreciate you articulating this point so well. This is a very complex situation and people on all ends of the spectrum are being asked to compromise on their values for the sake of public good. Some people are more willing to compromise

Try to imagine what successful management of a pandemic looks like - I’ll give you a hint - it’s not lots of death followed by “we should have done more.” Governments of the world haven’t reacted perfectly, but they are doing their best wit

I find some of these disingenuous: > Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to [Event] on [date]. But thanks again for sending an invitation my way. That's not saying "No". That's giving an excuse as to why you ca

An alternative perspective (not a solution!) from my experience: I currently work at a place in the valley as a senior lead and it is _impossible_ for me to submit a PR without comments/nitpicks requiring fixes. My colleagues seem to a

What do you mean unreasonable? Does a blanket statement like this really apply to every major US city? I see multiple apartments for $800 or less in LA, SF and Seattle on an apartment search site.

Does this version actually do anything for the Uyghur cause or is the blog article the extent of it? I read the article and there is an external link but I didn't see anything about how this version helps in any way other than raising

I think it's less that someone "can't get over Python 2.7" and more "why should I?". Nothing in 3 except bytes/string handling is compelling. Lots of 2 libraries haven't been ported. There is no legal

I vehemently disagree - these walrus vars are still in scope outside of the condition block. And on top of that, now there are special conditions for these walrus vars which are completely not obvious. Reference: https://www.pyth

I honestly don't care about the hardware at all. The hardware/camera/storage/whatever has been good enough for years. I care about the customer support, service, and overall UX of using the device. The fact that I can&#x
