The really ironic part in my view is that the native, Apple-made weather app on iOS used data from the Weather Channel. So there is literally no need to download the WC app. (To be clear, the complaint is centered around android and not the

You’re missing the point entirely. Nobody cares if Weather Channel used it for its own purposes. But instead it was selling all that info to third parties without any disclosure of that beyond some fuzzy boilerplate.

Wait until you have kids. Those stupid videos get watched over and over, at least in my house. By the parents, to be clear. Gotta father that blackmail material for when they turn into teenagers.

I’ve used Dropbox for several years for sharing files and such and found it also works great for photos. Pictures and videos from my devices (almost all from the iPhone, an excellent camera) are automatically uploaded to the Camera Uploads

Have to take a pay cut though because council members only get paid $75,000 currently though it’s set to rise significantly by 2020. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/sd-me-san...

The City of San Diego is the second largest city in California and the eight largest in the United States. For the latest election cycle the City Council fundraising was in the low $100,000 — hardly “millions.” I think the total across all

I didn’t read it that way. I read it as being very proud of a junior colleague and wanting to give him praise publicly and by name.

still seems much slower than the model used by Cloudflare for what they call "workers."[1] A recent blog post a few weeks back was the subject of considerable discussion here[2], and it seems to me to be doing much the same thing

You could have made the same criticism about a magazine in 1965. They tout to advertisers how many “readers” they have and how readership is growing, and your criticism is “all I do is open it and flip through the pages; I don’t _read_.” Yo

the jobs link is interesting. Takes you to a functioning command line but has no other hints or instructions. An interesting gating function: those who don't know how to proceed further (or can't problem-solve sufficiently to find

just a suggestion but in downtown San Diego, the City blocks off a street for a week and invites a dozen or so food trucks to come park there. They make an event out of it and staff it appropriately with extra clean-up and such. Huge, huge

Court scheduling in US Courts isn't at all random. Even for cases on the same day, it's up to the judge to figure out in what order he or she will handle the appearances. And like this Israeli parole board, those with attorneys ge

This is a ridiculous study because it implies that the order of when cases are heard is randomly distributed. That is, a "hard" case is just as likely to be first in the morning session as it is to be fifth in an afternoon session

not true for a Tesla. Look at the values for a used 2013 or 2014 Model S: between $38k and $45k, which is quite comparable to similar non-electric cars of the same price range. [1] The first Leaf totally crashed in value, but that car is a

from what I remember, most of the cost of car insurance (at least here in the US) is the driver, not the car. Young unmarried men pay the highest premiums because they're the drivers most likely to cause and get into accidents. The cos

The solution here is easy and obvious. The Nobel Committee should adopt a rule saying that any research first published in a pay-walled journal will not be considered in evaluating a candidate for any of the Nobel prizes. That would stop pu

but that's part of the justification, at least according to the exhaustive review -- just like our own shelves, we put things in between books. Blech.
