So instead we force every business to handle security and insurance related to accepting cash, and we force homeless people to hoard cash and present an enticing target for robbery. Certainly that sounds like a much better solution. Adding

I’m generally anti “self driving” as it’s demonstrably not safe in the general case, but this particular case seems like something that anyone could have done, and possibly impossible to have avoided (the self driving car braked immediately

So? Taking cash costs money as well: more security, more auditing, more cash transport, higher insurance costs, etc Even better, because of forced cash now every business incurs those costs even if the overwhelming majority of their transac

Uh huh, so we all keep money in a safe/home? Or are you going to propose yet another wildly unworkable cryptoscam?

I've used Spotlight search on accident enough times to know that this is false :D

It's a weird thing to specifically protect against when countless image to text libraries work locally and faster. Very much feels like security theatre/"look we're doing something to stop this non-issue" to distrac

If that were the case they would be measuring productivity, which we know they are not. Similarly if you actually cared about productivity you would never consider any kind of open or semi-open plan office, yet these are exactly the compani

So your saying apple would have to stop making operating systems? Or are you saying Qualcomm would be required to not provide drivers? This is a super dumb take, like beyond stupid, and I get that it’s directed at apple. Here’s the thing: s

Any one working for a company that requires this BS should take a hard line: your job is 9-5, there is not communication outside of that work period. There is not “crunch” bs, there are no longer nights, there is no work during the weekend.

They’re not interested in work not being done. They’re interested in you being in the office and at your computer for a prescribed amount of time. Actual productivity is not something they want to measure here, what they want is control.

Wait wait, is someone suggesting that the government gave itself an end run around the constitution, and then they used that to circumvent the constitution?

Another side effect of the federal government shutdown: mass euthanization of lab animals (including those who aren't in any research that would lead to it normally). Hooray \o/

I think part of the confusion is that there's the feature "Control Center" and the process controlcenter so you would reasonably think it's only involved in the marketing feature's UI.

Huh, I literally cannot find mutton in the Bay Area, only lamb - hilariously almost always from my homeland of NZ which doesn't export mutton because it's a cheap meat that isn't worth enough for anyone to want to import.

Control center is responsible for drawing a bunch of the ui on the top right of the menu bar, things like the clock (many comments here seem to be saying this is related to showing seconds), Wi-Fi, sound settings, etc. It also shows the ann

No they are arguing that the TSA itself is not liable for the actions of its employees. Despite the article clearly being written to make it sound like the agents are also free from consequences this is solely about the agency itself. That

If you know the soil is unusual, you should be designing for that soil. The fact that failing to account for that leads to damage warranting legal action is indicative of poor design and construction, exactly what should place liability on

Eg offload the full cost of construction onto taxpayers. If you are a private business that can only operate at a profit with tax payers footing a chunk of the bill you aren’t profitable. Any “profit” being made is simply theft from tax pay
