Data sovereignty means my 5,000 seat company will stop using it. Confluence and Jira were already a hard sell due to licence fees. Now Atlassian wants us to put our trade secrets on AWS or something? Not happening. At least they if we mess

That too, I was thinking of simply not mentioning it and handing one over if people ask.

If it's a separate box that then the buyer has the option to say "no". Why would everyone just take one when they have perfectly functioning charging cradles, docks, clocks, and travel accessories? I have a 5-port charger on

There's also the confounding element that the CO2 emissions could have dropped faster if the money was spent on renewables instead, plus the infrastructure for large centralised power generation is not really compatible with distribute

If I say “there’s a murder outside” my nephew will be racing to get the mealworms. Just because technical literature is dry and stuffy doesn’t mean we all have to be that way. I know I don’t talk to my friends in third person past tense.

The GOP have been trying to overturn Roe vs Wade since at least the Reagan era, if not from the day the decision was made. What was your reasoning for your side of the argument? Were you arguing based on the GOP history of not successfully

Are you basing that on phones sold or phones actually in use?

That will work up until the point that they demand you update your account details in order to sign in.

You left out the part where the gardener watches over your shoulder as you do your banking, apply for a passport, apply for a better job, yadda yadda. Given my druthers I'd prefer the ability to block people I don't want to play w

Black Lives Matter. Constrain the operational gamut of law enforcement (aka “defund the police”). Abortion is a medical health issue and a woman’s right to choose. I dunno, there’s plenty that will get be undue attention at a Federalist mee

Where "close enough" means that you would need to be within about one-and-a-half-thousand kilometres of a ground station (using words not numbers because it's a bit hand-wavy).

The aim of small nuclear reactors is to be "safe" and "reliable" so the chances are the states that switch their electricity supply to small reactors aren't going to have lots of backup power. We don't have sig

Every safety standard that modern aircraft have to meet is written in blood. Even then, Boeing thought they were better than they are, and we have lives lost to 737 MAX because they tried to play the rules to get a completely new aircraft c

Any sensible short just sends their bad news stories to Business Insider/Seeking Alpha/Zerohedge. That way there's no SEC scrutiny because it's not the short that published the story.

Did your app description make statements about handling health data?

That's the joke.

I trust the iphone with my medical information because Apple has controls in place in their App Store review process to prevent that data being leaked out of the phone. I do not trust Facebook to avoid leaking that data out of my phone.

Just wear a mask and stop pointing the finger at people protesting institutionalised oppression as an excuse not to wear a mask.

If keeping control of what apps get installed on an iPhone costs them good will with lots of developers, I think Apple is willing to make that sacrifice. Epic has already shown that they will go to great lengths to get what they want, would

At what point does "nip it in the bud" turn into "you're persecuting me for crimes I haven't committed yet"? I suspect that where the line is drawn depends on what benefit you feel you get from one side of the

This one situation with Epic is about Apple disabling "Sign In With Apple".

The only reason for that is that console makers haven't pushed into those personal utility applications.

At that point the code signing service would become the thing that Epic objects to the most because it's money they're paying Apple for all their games running on Apple products.

This stunt by Epic is absolutely about going after consoles too. Epic wants to have their store on every platform, with Epic taking a cut out of the games published on their store, leaving nothing to the host platform. Eventually the consol

In this case it's a smart lazy hack. First, they designed this cool octovalve thing so they could use the one heat pump for all the heating and cooling needs of the car. Second, they have this LCC hanging off the side of it, a top heav
