But patients suffering for administrative negligence? I don’t agree with that but there does need to be some kind of incentive there.

Don’t they have insurance for these things? A small college near me had an attack like this but paid via insurance.

Current Macs will still be supported, meaning intel still needs support for at least another 8-10 years.

Looks like they’re not complying with the rules? Is there something more to this?

If not using the App Store is an option, then a developer could just not use it and you could be forced to get an app from an insecure place. That defeats the purpose of the App Store.

I'd argue that the reason Apple devices are so popular is because of the restrictions that ensure quality. Would your app have any potential to make money on the App Store if there wasn't a huge customer base? > No more downloa

I agree. I spent a few minutes confused as to what everyone was so mad about. Surprised this is an issue for anyone. Unless you need to modify the URL often, but it has the hover behavior and if even safari has an option for it, I can'

It wouldn't take trucks off the road, it would just increase the capacity that we can transport.

I don't see it that way. They're not 'social engineering', they just have a greater understanding as to where interactions will go and the confidence to carry out said interactions. The only alternative for them is being

Bumble is only slightly less shallow than tinder. Okcupid is much better suited for this task.

I have become close to several extremely social people and discussed this quite a bit. I realized that they approach socializing the same way I approach engineering and the like. At a party they clearly see the subtle or not so subtle effec

This is the same situation as with Spotify and while they’re clearly trying to save their business (through a means that isn’t just making a better product) I don’t see a valid argument here. The closest analogue in non-tech I can think of

I think it’s even deeper than that. Human society has changed a lot really quickly, it would be unreasonable to expect a seamless transition. Similar to how wild animals in captivity suffer from tremendous stress due to their environment, t

I also relate to this. My hope for cultural change post pandemic is that the shift towards remote work will persist after it's over. I love being an engineer but I can't stand working in an open office or commuting 2 1/2 hour

MasterClass is somewhat paradoxical in my opinion. They’re attempting to reach a wide audience (people who aren’t technically proficient in the respective fields of say cooking or music) but they’re framing it as a “masterclass” which is a

The last thing I want many hours away from civilization is my gear to fail on me. Additionally, expensive outdoors brands come with much better warranties. Discounted retail store brands are often a false economy option.

An obvious solution would be a comprehensive tuition cap for public institutions. Financial aid makes college more affordable, but allows colleges to raise tuition. Getting rid of financial aid could lower tuition cost due to market pressu

That’s not a slippery slope but your point further on is valid. The privatization of the town square carries the potential to erode our civil liberties as these new public centers aren’t held to the same standards. The question here is then

Hardware being proprietary doesn’t diminish the value of stealing code. In fact, there is much to be gained regardless of specific hardware, even if the code was super hardware dependent. And besides, what’s to stop them from developing sim

Is this a highly industrialized, population dense part of Europe? The United States is huge and for the most part has low population density making anything related to movement inherently difficult and expensive.

Those industries you mentioned may be more likely to have fraudulent transactions. In that case it makes sense not work with them then. You should have every right to deny service to them and the law supports you on that.
