You don’t need a dystopian AI camera monitoring system to measure seatbelt usage. Plug into OBD-2 and detect the car moving faster than 20mph while the seatbelt is not connected.

Apple is most certainly in a position to influence government. They have a device in the hands of more than a billion people who spend hours per day staring at it. They absolutely have a responsibility to fight for human rights and freedom.

Not sure why you’re downvoted; you’re correct. This 1996 article reflects the debunked 90s logic that eating fat makes you fat.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the bug reporter rather than the author of the error message itself, in the latter case I agree.

It’s unrealistic to expect everyone to be able to know and use terminology perfectly. The description itself was well-written and that’s what’s important in terms of finding/fixing the issue.

Banks can and do rollback fraud and theft in most cases; that’s the advantage of working in a system supported by law and regulation. The alternative is trusting that every component in your crypto tech stack has perfect security (which is

Data-only subscriptions can still receive SMS messages in my experience, you just can't send them.

People hate getting used to new things, even if they are objectively better. No newly-developed UI, no matter how good it is, will improve your experience if you know the old one like the back of your hand. This generally leads to extreme n

Even the podcasts that Spotify owns and produces have ads. So in that case they are putting ads in their own podcasts for their own paying customers.

Of course it can and will be solved; I'm rebutting the idea that these issues aren't a problem today for most people, based on the assumption that the typical use case is a US suburban household.

The US use case doesn’t represent the world, and doesn’t resemble the majority of the EV market. Even in the US, not everyone is a homeowner with a dedicated port as the OP suggests. Personally, if I switched to an EV I’d be jockeying every

Pretty worthless without WhatsApp, which in many countries is the only way to actually make calls and send texts. They state in their FAQ that they have no intention to support it.

Taking the paragraph out of the page it's on and displaying it separately in a highlighted box with no context is the problem; it's being presented as a standalone fact. Google should really stop pushing this half-baked feature an

That's not what Buzzfeed is doing, though - they are taking individual quotes and snippets from the Reddit thread and weaving them into a narrative and description written in their own words. You could in fact do the same with a NYT ar

The article doesn't go into this in too much depth, but one of the main reasons many of these people are antivax is because it has given them a level of fame (and a source of revenue) that they've never achieved with anything else

That’s disingenuous, given that the movement is about allowing police to only focus on security rather than trying to solve every societal ill. https://mobile.twitter.com/nskorpen/status/12841449250392637...

Your stance is that it’s unaffordable for a university to spend a small amount of money on randomized browser tests, therefore they should spend a large amount of money on intrusive spying software?

The title as written is clickbait, and false. Only the central district saw that increase, not “San Francisco,” and it was because there was a sharp drop from 2019 due to lockdown. Citywide car burglaries are actually down even from the muc

In practice, both hardware and software used in production is 10 times as reliable as it was 10 years ago. I’ve seen less downtime on the average Dell rack server with RHEL than the average yearly AWS downtime. Additionally, running a manag
