If I stepped out of 1980 and into 2021 and saw facebook and cell phones and people looking down the privacy nightmare. It is totally fucking batshit crazy. We're all Slowly Boiled Frogs.

Mortality rate may be unknown. But we know it's killed at least a half million in the US alone, 3 million worldwide. There are also deaths not associated with Covid 19 but caused by it (they didn't get a test before or after death

I don't quite know how to say this but, is it possible to be happy about the outcome but have a feeling that it was probably legally not quite straightforward. I mean everyone (or most) on here is probably pleased with the outcome, but

The change is that in the last 10 years all of that information has gone online. The creeps love all of that information. It has also lead to people trying to escape things be haunted by it. I know a guy that moved from CA to ID to escape s

As of right now yes, the US government is making records public such as who you marry, where you live, in some cases your salary. It's pretty bad we don't condemn that first. All of this info is generally public because of our leg

I don't know, but if he's managing a lot of people and made it so that those people also get highly paid - he's built a little empire. Maybe that's wrong. But these are also people that save lives. If you cut off the top

I guess the article is asking for LA to lower the pay. And maybe that's correct. However some of the people in these jobs have saved lives. So maybe they are overpaying by $8M per year... but if they cut that back, should the talent sa

I generally agree with this. I think most of us that have set a DNS entry use a low TTL because of experiences we had 5, 10, 15 years ago. Really really bad experiences. I'm not necessarily arguing to increase the TTL, but maybe we sho

There really isn't. At the end of the day every company I have been in has: the asshole, the smart guy, the idiot, the guy everyone is scared of, the guy that can't be fired ("the originals"). Then you just kind of multi

I'm guessing it's not coming back - it competes with google news which makes Google money where reader did not.

Back in the day when they first had their sub model it was soooo much cheaper than it is now :(. Here's hoping some guy that writes super-resolution ML models on the side is a big fan of Gimp.

Well actually, it can actually be more advanced with GraphQL. In fact GQL clients have the ability to invalidate caches if it knows the same ID has been deleted or edited and can in some cases even avoid a new fetch. That being said some of

I imagine that in most cases it's a giant archive - data that no one really cares about (I mean they do in principal). Then there's probably like 0.1% that's probably operationally important data - which is actually huge. Thi

I wonder if they would have won the lawsuit if they simply brought this up - We're happy to refund you the price of the laptop if Windows was not pre-installed and with all of the other bundled software: Please pay us $50. It kinda mak

So true. My brother used to watch Fox News (ehh..) but I mostly avoided it just cause. Anyway I sat down to watch one day and everything had scantily clad women no matter what they were discussing. A lot of the time it was about a strip clu

This kind of shit makes me really wish I had donated more to all of the pure linux phone projects of the past. They call this thing a smart "phone" but the "phone" part is the least advanced thing about it. Smart means i

I remember this kind of thing happening all the time in the 90s and part of the 00s... It's just 10 to 1000 times worse now days since EVERYTHING is online now.

There's a portion of the population that will never be able to consume any of the mentioned substances responsibly. That same portion is responsible for killing people on the roads every day. Maybe we can hand-wave that away with SDV i

If a doctor takes a picture of your wife's anus for a medical report, should that data be allowed to be saved and resent to anyone? Posted online? Distributed by one of those websites that lets you find people? There are use-cases for
