I also received this notification. I have an S8, not a Pixel. This is the kind of marketing spam done by crapware apps. Should we also expect this from Google now? I've come across too many nontechnical user's phones with hundreds

NN does not unfairly inconvenience you. You are the type of person NN exists to stop. Sorry, not interested in giving it up so you can bilk and spy on the elderly.

I agree. Typing is not the hard part of programming.

That's a good point. I only really deal with https-enabled sites any more - hadn't even thought of that.

All of the areas where you can actually submit data or login (comments, submit a site) are in https iframes. I'd agree that there are benefits for read-only sites using https, but it's not quite as serious.

For the record, this does not include National Security Letters.

You're not on the most compact density though. That circle around the back button only appears on the "Normal" and "Touch" densities. Right click the menu bar, hit "Customize", and you can change the densi

Thanks for the reply. I guess my contention as someone just starting to use vanilla promises is that it feels like try/catch isn't the appropriate metaphor to use here. In my specific case I'm passing a lot of promises to use

Am I the only one that really dislikes the "catch" behavior? The fact that catching a promise marks it as resolved and triggers subsequent "then"s rather than "catch"s. It means that every callback needs to be

I'm not sure what straw man you're referring to, but I'll address yours: I have never called the US perfect, and it has done many evil things. The difference is that you can talk about them without disappearing. You and User9

I understand. In my original reply, I actually wrote in and then deleted a sentence saying that I didn't mean to accuse you specifically of doing so.

I thought you might link that [0] article. In includes deaths attributed to "economic pressures", and "U.S. military supplies". It also includes all deaths on both sides of the wars that they judged the US to have been a

As I mentioned elsewhere, I will never defend illegal actions taken by the US government. I'm genuinely aghast at many of the things that have been uncovered. That said, the numbers of people harmed by the US and China are not remotely

I would invite you to read a list of notable quotes by Gen. LeMay [0]. The man had a specific interest, sustained over decades, in promoting and normalizing the idea that the US should kill civilians to make wars easier. Meanwhile, most est

The forced resettlement happened in 1968. Further developments, while illegal, don't carry forward the original sin. You can't categorize the entire history of the island under "2010" because something new happened. We&#

I would love you to find me a source for millions of non enemy combatant deaths directly caused by the US. Notice that I never said that the US hasn't committed shameful human rights abuses. I'd be happy to discuss them. Most are

by semperdark 9y ago
If you want to talk about 1968, we can talk about the mass purges going on in China too. Criticizing the history of the United States is fine, but it's not even in the same universe regarding human rights abuses. China continues to

A decade ago there was a giant push in the media government, and hospital administrations calling doctors heartless for not prescribing more painkillers. Hours of mandatory classes on using opioids in all sorts of situations. Exposes on

Except that score is calculated on factors such as your loyalty to the government.

In my experience a lot of doctors are just happy when patients take real interest in their own health, even if that particular drug isn't the best choice. Jaded by too many noncompliant patients.

I'd say 95% of IoT devices right now are from companies looking to jump on the bandwagon. The "iPod" of connected devices (i.e. actually useful) hasn't been discovered yet. Most products right now are just looking to tic

Perhaps, but in many cases recognition that there should be "One China" also comes with the implication that Taiwan's government should be the one ruling the "One China". Did you read the linked article? Norway&#x27

The idea looks interesting, but looking at the frontpage there seem to be very few threads with any comments on them. Maybe I'm missing something about the format. Do you feel that there's a sense of community and discussion? Or i

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say, but with numbers like that the former CEO could afford to have an entire law firm working on the case for him. I can't imagine that implications would go very far.

It's hard to say what will happen, but the shareholders would be justified in replacing board members over this. Shareholders don't run public companies directly, I think the farthest that you can logically assign blame is with

People aren't mad that his contract is being honored, they're annoyed that there are no provisions for gross failure. As for actively facilitating the breach, almost no CEO ever does. One of his jobs is to solve problems indirectl

The TechCrunch article about the funding [0] claims they make about $7.5 million a year, based on their transation fee and some public "total payments" numbers. I can see that being too little if they're hiring a significant

You're making him go through an awful lot of trouble to be a customer. This sounds like you're telling him to stop talking about his concerns so loudly (in public) rather than actually looking into them.
