That’s in the article too. It will start beeping when moved if it’s following someone that’s not the owner for a while.

I agree it shouldn’t have been downvoted, but the point OP is making is different from your point. In the US, the most famous police trainer is a guy that basically tells police that they are justified in shooting almost anyone in any circu

This exists in Vancouver. Unfortunately, the richest people once again find ways out of it, such as claiming the unit is uninhabitable due to renovation, and proceeding with the slowest and most inefficient renovation process imaginable.

The complaint here isn't that there is a contract; it's that the user is deceived by dark patterns into thinking they've entered a plan with no contract. By contrast, going to tmobile.de or blau.de, even without speaking Germ

Also, let's be honest: a lot of replies from people who need to believe this is ethical because they want to reserve the right to use (or already use) this dark pattern in a product as a "growth hack". Or people who work for

Did you actually look at the comic in question before writing this comment?

Wow, at least you're not trying to hide your blatant racism by citing a comic made by and celebrated by white supremacists.

Is it public info who invited you to the Clubhouse app? If not, that would assume some kind of breach, since that info is part of the leak.

Google is the only major advertising company which requires you to use their own ad server (DFP, now known as GAM) in order to compete in real-time with its own inventory. Since they are the largest advertiser, everyone is basically forced

Yes, as the article states, the passage of Prop 22 strengthens the status of gig workers as contractors, which gives Uber less of an incentive to give them more independence.

The most common case of this (as expressed in HN comments over the years) is Amazon recommending products based on Amazon purchase history. In that case it's all first-party data.

by p49k 6y ago
Every post on HN with this question receives the same response: “it’s because Amazon knows you’re actually more likely to buy another one if you’ve just bought one, even if it’s the kind of thing you only need one of (e.g vacuum)” I find th

Agreed. The most effective solution to this problem is designing infrastructure that intuitively trains people to drive better - narrower roads force people to pay more attention, for example. More speed bumps, more roundabouts, lower speed

That study doesn't imply what you suggest. Yes, most Americans install 1-2 apps per year: Facebook, Instagram and similar, and that's all they ever use. That segment of the population doesn't use the mobile web either; they s

Maybe HN users, but an increasingly overwhelming percentage of the general population prefers to download an app to do something instead of using a mobile website.

Users, for the most part, don't want web apps and won't use them. It's an unrealistic stance.

Exactly, and Bill Gates also understands that you can fall into all kinds of legal and regulatory traps by making public statements about your investments, something Elon Musk has never seemed to grasp.

Sure. The point being that Bezos didn't do that. He did provide value and should be filthy rich, but not $200 billion rich. Much of his wealth is unfairly extracted from others he exploited. If he treated every employee humanely and ga

That's not true; there is a specific exception for icloud.com/find which doesn't require 2FA. edit: my mistake; you are probably referring to the Google version!

This is exactly the reason why I hate sites that use one-time email sign-in links. The link opens in Webview, then you have to click a separate button to reopen the page in Safari, but by that time the token is marked as used, so you can&#x
