I would be shocked if more than 1% of the population lived 40 minutes from the nearest grocery store out of necessity. Can you provide a citation? > And Americans being rich on a global scale doesn't mean shit when median expenses f

The cure is worse than the disease in that case.

I’m not a fan of Uber actually, but I’m also clear headed about the cause of traffic. The data in the study you linked doesn’t show the opposite. It just says about half the VMT of a ride hail is without a passenger. It makes no claims abou

Did you just make this up? Uber doesn't even operate robotaxis, and a real robotaxi operator is being forced to park further from its market because of politics: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/sf-su

Who cares what people said? They are obviously wrong because they argued from false premises. Uber succeeded because they made hailing a ride easier. Trying to credit them or blaming them for traffic is insane. Traffic is the consequence of

Uber was supposed to make hailing a vehicle easier. It succeeded at that. Congestion is a matter for traffic engineers and congestion pricing.

What's the point of this name calling? I could call you a dead-end Apple cynic, of which there are plenty (and they're often wrong).

The author is repeating a confirmation they received directly from Apple, as described in the first sentence. Ben is a long time journalist who's been on the beat for decades. When he says, "Apple has confirmed to me" it&#x27

They confirmed here: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/23/apple-scans-icloud-mail-for-c... Apple clearly has very limited ongoing scanning because they report on the order of hundreds of instances of CSAM to NCMEC

To be clear, they positively stated that they do not perform any server side scanning when this feature was first announced.

CarPlay is essentially a form of AirPlay, so the car is receiving a video stream from your phone, not data. (Of course, they could try to extract data from the video stream, but I doubt they have the technical skills to do that in the near

I thought Social Security being fully funded was an accounting fiction, and it is accruing meaningful liabilities for the general budget?

As described in this post, they don't disable your iCloud account for fraudulent transactions. They block you from their app and media stores.

Hyperloop did not move the needle on CAHSR’s success or failure, so even by that metric it was a dud. If you are interested in what successful ratfucking psyops looks like, check out Caltrans’s recent obsession with hydrogen trains.

This discussion is not about cultural perceptions of Elon Musk. It is about how much of SpaceX and Tesla's success can be attributed to him. If you think cultural perceptions are why I categorized SolarCity, Boring Company, Hyperloop,

In that case, seems like there's a way to get back our lovably dysfunctional social network. Just gotta outlast their cash on hand. Edit: Pre-acquisition Twitter bonds are trading at ~70 cents on the dollar. Seems like the acquisition

The whole discussion is about how much of those companies' success is attributable to Musk. I have no clue where the "leftist vilification" is coming from.

I wonder if the lenders can push him out if/when Twitter stops making debt payments.

SolarCity, Hyperloop, and Boring Company are obvious duds as well. It's hard to say how many duds he had in the aughts, since they're probably well-buried at this point.

I think Private Access Token is a reasonable design, and it should be standardized with multiple attestation providers that any client can use. That seems like it would move the web forward, unlike simply not making headway on the problem o

IME, browsing the web with iCloud Private Relay is much better than Tor, since your client is not outright blocked by websites. I have not browsed the web much behind a VPN, so I can't compare the experiences.

by shuckles 3y ago
So far, Private Access Tokens are not widely adopted so you can get a feel for the potential Linux experience by browsing the web with iCloud Private Relay enabled. This flags almost every website's anti-spam classifiers, and you end u

That comparison makes no sense. At the very least you’d want to look at per capita figures. Prop 13’s impact on the political economy, empowering comfortable boomers, is probably as bad as its impacts on the budget.

No one is advocating for "pay for access" or a means of bypassing trials that facilitate a "flood of [scammers]", so this is a straw man. You'd have to show why any design for relaxing regulation of trials is necess

That is not relevant to this conversation which is about retaining managers the company views as talented in light of a no promotions policy. It’s almost guaranteed Meta will give managers they think are important to retain secret comp incr

One thing I've learned in my career: no policies apply to anyone the company views as a valuable asset.

Wealth taxes* are economically inefficient, impossible to administer, and have little popular support. Consider this: a land value tax is the best (and only good) type of wealth tax, and the people of California hated it so much they voted
