Doesn’t sound correct. If an airline cancels a flight, they will generally reschedule you for the next possible flight.

Is scalping airline tickets actually something that happens? I’d assume no since you have to provide the name of the passenger when reserving.

You can edit the ssh/config file to create/define aliases. For each alias, you can configure the host, port, username, etc.

1. People who speak up are often putting their jobs at stake, especially in the US where people can (and often are) fired for almost anything. We shouldn’t have to ask anyone; it’s so not a big deal to search and replace some text to a more

Sure but there isn’t a growing population of people who actively support randomly killing children in the same way that hateful/racist movements are growing in the US and elsewhere. That context matters.

I’m curious what you would do if a new hire/junior programmer joined your team and asked you to change the name of the script because their parents were killed in a genocide and they would prefer not to be reminded every time they had

IMO if you take your own argument to its logical conclusion, you can see that it falls apart easily. If someone launched a project in 2020 where you “lynch” a process to remove it and engage in “gassing” a connection pool to close all conne

He could simply start by investing money in improving the terrible working conditions and wages of his warehouse employees, who contributed to his wealth.

Probably the same things that enabled them to amass that amount of wealth in the first place.

I'm sorry but I find this kind of nitpicking in bad form. People are going out and taking action to bring attention to a problem in what is obviously the best way they can do so. If you have an idea about improving marketing, why not s

It’s also a nascent movement so it’s not surprising that many people don’t understand it. There are many successful policies that began with very low public support.

People saying “defund the police” are not advocating the complete elimination of police forces; they’re advocating for the elimination of the 75-90% of things that police spend their time on that has zero or negative ROI for society. “Respo

> Your accusation even conflicts with the basic definition of malware The very source you pasted this definition from (Wikipedia) goes on to list spyware as a type of malware, and the page for spyware lists Onavo as an example.

Oftentimes, a subscription purchased through the App Store is 30% more expensive than through other means due to companies passing on the Apple tax to the user.

Why not just try it now? It seems you spent far more time posting and maintaining the accusation than you did actually verifying if it was true.

FYI, this post is essentially an advertisement. The one app found to be the “good” one which doesn’t share data is also the same company that did the research and published the report, which means they could have manipulated any number of d

Did you try posting an actual comment which referenced those terms in a meaningful way? Maybe it’s being blocked for being spammy incoherent word salad.

You’re missing the fact that WhatsApp was actually available for essentially all phones (even in 3rd world markets) and that nothing else is needed. AIM and MSN required an email address which means you need one, as well as an email client

Those were not simple, seamless, cross-platform, drop-in replacements to SMS though, which is what OP was referring to by “text messaging.” Sure, clunky systems which had no chance of mass adoption existed before.

I would guess their success is due almost entirely to solving the licensing issues with the content, and doing so with such competence that major services want to work with them without fear of exposing themselves to liability.

This would be a stronger point if the most popular provider of the service you would have to rely on wasn't a non-profit who provides their services for free and makes tools that are extremely easy to use and understand. It's a pr

OP’s point stands though, you can search “google snippet fail” for all kinds of misinformation this feature spreads, from harmless but funny mistakes, to conspiracy theories, to dangerous/unsafe advice.

Yes, but you’re drifting from the original point I was arguing against: “all viruses act exactly like the flu, therefore governments overreacted by not immediately assuming it was exactly like the flu” - which has a false premise.

by p49k 6y ago
Even that's not true. 15-30% of the viruses that are attributed to the common cold are coronaviruses, and it's pretty clear that the common cold does not behave in the way OP described.

5G has extremely low latency, enabling anything that would benefit from that: gaming, telemedicine, low-latency video calls (could potentially allow live music collaboration over video chat, for example)
