I think the issue isn't how much citizens are paying in taxes. I think it's how the government is allocating those funds. For example, my town I live in has average rent prices for 1 bedroom apartments ABOVE the medium HOUSEHOLD i

It's easy to notice a homeless person. It's a helluva lot harder to notice a person who used to be homeless.

Every day I start to believe more and more that people won't stop with homelessness until every homeless person is dead. "Emergency housing is a drain on taxpayer dollars." "Job placement is taking jobs away from locals.

They absolutely will, but I wouldn't expect those mods to actually be good mods. I've been in multiple subreddits where a new mod would be assigned because the current ones stopped being active and they'd wreck the subreddit.

Exactly. Even in the AMA there were multiple third party devs saying they've been trying to reach out to Reddit's team to talk about signing the API agreement to continue using the service. Saying they haven't received a resp

1. I think they don't want to get caught eating their own words when they're about to go public with an IPO. Backtracking because of third-party apps isn't going to go over well with potential investors. 2. I think it'll

That's one extension, there are thousands that may or may not work. It was buggy the way Firefox used to handle extensions. The current Firefox extensions are ones that are made specifically for Firefox on Android, they're not dir

Chrome doesn't even let you install extensions on Android. And for Firefox on Android it's a buggy workaround that doesn't even work half the time. This isn't just an Apple thing.

Maybe so. But this situation has been blown up so much that now more than 5% of Reddit's traffic probably has a sour taste in their mouth about how Reddit treats people. This is something that's going to affect a lot more than 5%

1) Apollo exploited nothing. Reddit offered their API for free for years. 2) Sure, he made a ton of money running Apollo, doesn't make what Reddit did less scummy. 3) No requirement, but it's largely accepted as courtesy to notify

Google also takes a 30% cut on apps. Microsoft takes 15% on Windows apps. Would that mean that Google and Microsoft are doing the same thing? And while Apple does require Google and Microsoft to use WebKit for their iOS browser apps, it&#x2

I envision the Vision Pro as a consumer testbed of tech while they work to miniaturize the technology. IE: LIDAR in iPhone 12 Pro, ARKit to transition devs into thinking about AR applications, etc. Raise to wake on iPhone 6S to prepare for

1) Agree with you on the higher resolution screens. Yeah it's gonna be a resource hog but from what I've heard it looks downright gorgeous. 2) I'm okay with the better passthrough, from what the initial impressions have said,

This device looks to be a monumental improvement over any current consumer AR/VR headset. From the user reviews that've come out so far, they've talked about the very forgiving hand-tracking, the high-fidelity screens, the ne

If you're a newer artist just starting out, you most likely aren't going to get signed with any big name label if you refuse to sign away your masters. The masters are how the label can make money off of you for probably a hundred

Exactly! One thing I do if I think a celebrity looks great but have a suspicion it's editing or some camera magic, I look up photos of them on Getty Images. Getty prohibits their news/event photos from being manipulated in any way

I think the biggest difference now is that for games like Mortal Combat, we knew they were stories, we knew they were a fantasy. But social media nowadays is very focused on being "real". It's easy to separate fantasy from re

What's so sad is that is what happened to a grandma of mine. I had come out of the closet (she supported me 100%) and she spoke about it to her church friends and talking about how much she's learned in supporting me. Well, I gues

I have so many rural family members that are like this. And so much of it is because they just actively and brazenly do not want to help anyone. Their individualistic ideology runs so deep that they view people homeless, struggling, or unab

I'm not familiar on the throughput, but their EUV lithography machines are some of the most complex machinery humanity has developed to date. We're lucky this even works, let alone dream of scaling it.
