I wish they didn’t manage to change the nasdaq rules, forcing a lot of index ETFs to buy spacex at IPO, whatever the price. Edit: glad to see vanguard VT tracks FTSE which isn’t impacted. The amount of overvalued spacex stock in VT will be

I don’t know about uber specifically but most of the apps I use have a separate toggle for things like marketing. Maybe it’s an EU thing?

You can. I’ve removed Apple Music and Apple Maps (seriously, who uses that?) but apple makes extra sure most things are more annoying to use without maps. Calendar app with an address? Default to opening in Apple Maps which is missing so er

No. It doesn’t seem we can understand each other and I’d rather do other, more fulfilling things with my time. I don’t live in the US (thankfully) and don’t want to spend any more time arguing with you.

My point wasn’t that exploiting illegal immigrants is good. My point was that with the sorely lacking rules already in place, illegal immigration is a problem and at the same time there is still a supply problem. So acting even more high an

> The US at least does not depend on migration as much as Germany, I believe. To me it feels like the US pretends they don’t need immigrants when: 1. The overwhelming majority of current US residents were immigrants themselves at some p

I know publishers are working very hard to take back the first sale doctrine on eBooks. I’m talking about actual books in libraries not eBooks.

Thanks, I didn’t know

by ornornor 5mo ago
I hear you, and to this I often think: - libraries pay retail for their copies - many people can then read them for free, so the authors (and let’s be honest mostly they publishers) doesn’t get a dime either beyond the initial sale - used b

If they had a moral compass. They’ve proven time and again they don’t.

Are you kinda alluding that if it was so bad in the US, people wouldn’t be asking for TN1 visas to go work there?

If it’s legal to eat babies in a country, does it make it morally ok to do it too while visiting?

Ironic indeed when you see the utter contempt Samsung has for its user’s data otherwise (their apps and “smart” devices are a privacy nightmare)

Boohoo, too bad so sad. Facebook has been a psychopathic company hellbent on making the most money possible in the most unethical ways by influencing its users and bleeding them dry for their personal data. Whoever chose to work for them in

Ploopy does make trackballs. I have an adept and it’s great. Inexpensive too.
