People in the subway are just people waiting to get somewhere, being on your phone in that situation is no more dystopian than reading a book which may be what’s on some of those screens. Not saying phone use isn’t a distraction, but someti

Deterrence works on corporations. How much time is spent complying with HIPPA, GDPR, and other regulations that have huge penalties? A lot. How much time is spent on piddling little fines for laws you've never heard of, but are vitally

It’s a reasonable thing to try for someone who doesn’t know how to cook a steak and may have been expressly forbidden from using the stove. Plus he was twelve, definitely in the age range where such errors are the expected product of experi

It’s on the list of things I want to change about myself. I’m a work in progress. Dietary control is not something I have been able to exercise in the past. I’m attempting to obtain pharmaceutical help on that front, so maybe I will be able

Meat eating should also plummet if meat eating is banned in restaurants and there’s a minimum meat eating age that increases a year at a time. Bonus if there’s a health insurance question about meat eating and special meat taxes. There is n

People still smoke cigarettes despite decades of clear evidence that they will lead to a horrible death in many cases. Society has built so many disincentives to doing so, and yet they persist. Animal products will continue to be consumed n

In this case, a false positive might be a good thing from their perspective. If they can show that you have a close match it means they have an excuse to investigate you more thoroughly should they desire even if the real reason is that the

You're commenting on a discovery engine right now. HN surfaces stuff you never searched for but find interesting all the time. Still, you can't expect for there to be the kind of traffic we see on the big sites today for all the l

Apple isn’t making WiFi/bt precisely because it’s not that hard. There are a number of potential companies they can partner with so they can negotiate better rates. CPUs and modems are different, they effectively had a single supplier

It needs to identify each dog in your photos library to put them in their own album and figure out which dogs or people to suggest for the photo widget. Which is to say it’s not unimaginable that photo indexing is part of it.

What makes you say things like this that are easily verifiably false? I am reaching over and touching my WiFi router’s antennas right now and I’m not being “painfully burned from the inside out.” I’m hoping the answer is a desire to make a
