However, we tend to see a computer’s analysis as absolute while a security guard’s analysis is more of an opinion. You can also reason with a security guard. The trust we have in the computer’s analysis prevents a perceived shoplifter from

I also have a big problem with the reasoning of the quoted argument, at least from a United States point of view. Our poor do have modern conveniences, because that’s what the world does; it evolves with current technology. They have access

AFAIK there’s no clean downgrade procedure. You have to create a bootable Mojave image, back up, wipe your hard drive, and clean install Mojave

I’m not sure how much of the population would agree with me here, but I would prefer to be shown content organically. I’m talking posts sorted chronologically, not cherry picked for me, just the raw feed essentially. Having an algorithm or

>“. . . was not really countered at all” That was probably the only point Zuckerberg made that I agree with, though I don’t doubt that we think that way for different reasons. If I know social networks are deleting ads or posts that are

That’d be really cool to have, especially on a haptic keyboard! Unfortunately Apple seems averse to the idea of haptic feedback on a keyboard. On a similar note, I’ve been disappointed in the removal of 3D Touch. I understand that it adds c

In addition to what others have said, the UPS driver is an employee of UPS and gets benefits, PTO, etc. The DoorDash courier is a contractor, not an employee, and gets no benefits. The same goes for many emerging courier services: Postmates

I won’t pretend to speak for everyone, but my personal problems with Facebook are their wont to perform social experiments on unknowing users, hoarding of user data, especially from sites that aren’t Facebook; and overreach in multiple mark

My sentiments exactly. To branch a little bit, Nintendo has been historically focused on preventing piracy. It makes sense given their consoles tend to be the easiest to hack of the big 3. If you remember what happened on the 3DS with Cubic

I definitely recommend FreeTaxUSA. I work 1099, and my tax burden was a not-insignificant amount (to me) this year. I went through TurboTax, CreditKarma, and FTUSA’s processes and found: -Of the three options, TurboTax returned the highest

This, to me, highlights a deeper issue. The fear of legal ramifications shouldn't get in the way of creating better, safer products. If Boeing is avoiding taking the heat by withholding a fix it may cost more people their lives.

I absolutely agree with you there. In the meantime, adding additional descriptors yields better results but is maybe a bit un-intuitive to some users (e.g. "thrush bird" rather than "thrush").

But are relevance and popularity not related? If more people are using Google to learn about cloud computing than the clouds in the sky, I’d hazard that that would make cloud computing the more relevant result, in terms of what Google sees

My problem isn’t so much that Google is storing location data if people have agreed to allow it . The semantics of agreeing to enable location history are arguable, but by default Google’s location history feature is opt- out . I’d prefer

I know people who are obsessed with maintaining streaks on Snapchat, but I see the effects of a streak as different from the effects of the likes and shares mentioned above. While both mechanisms encourage users to use their platform more,

I’m not walrus01 but I know of a few ISPs in the Bay Area that put an emphasis on net neutrality and users’ privacy, on top of running a good service: Wave on the SF/Daly City side, and Sonic’s running fiber in the East Bay. Both have

Wilsonnb hit the nail on the head, it’s just how some people feel. Though I don’t doubt that some people involved in the creation of this phenomenon use the argument to justify their work. I had a hard time understanding why people wouldn’t
