I feel like this is the reporter choosing ambiguous words. Was this a permit to discharge into “an unnamed ditch” whose location and ownership and end destination are unspecified in the permit and so it is unclear whether this ditch is the

It's also the same thing someone would say that knows they're running a satanic cult sacrificing whales in the sub-basements of the property but knows the evidence of that isn't coming out of this output pipe. And at least so

My reading is that Tesla's contention is those contaminants are not coming from their pipe, hence the objection to the measurement being taken from somewhere other than the output of their pipe. And while the contaminants may well be c

The only evidence we have for the “Americans were too stupid to understand that 1/3 was bigger than 1/4” story is from the memoirs of the A&W CEO at the time referencing some unnamed market research performed by some unnamed f

And USian could refer to folks from Mexico (and at prior points in history a number of other countries), so it's hardly unambiguous.

You already live in a world where anyone can send you any ad they want without your consent, paid for by your tax dollars. The postal service had been trafficking ads direct to your door since before Twitter was a thing. Billionaires and Au

Apple has been dropping older subsystems and backwards compatibility layers long before app subscriptions were the default way people got paid for software. The 68k -> PPC transition happened in the mid 90's and 68k support was drop

It’s really only “misleading” to the extent that any offset/credit scheme is also misleading. Inherent in the words “net zero” is the fact that emissions will continue, but the claim is that something else will be done to make the tota

The touchbar was great when apps used it for useful things. It’s main sin was replacing the physical escape key and I suspect if even just that key had remained physical most people would have been fine with the touchbar because most people

This is kind of a revisionist view of software. I think most of the consistency we remember from software past is because skipping the OS tollboxes and doing your own custom UI was hard rather than because most software developers cared abo

I agree, so it's a good thing I wasn't arguing anything of the sort. Just pushing back on the idea that just because "cities" with the highest quality of life ratings are non-car-centric that we can infer anything useful

I think this is less about “respect” and more about the general change in business attitudes that happened over the 90s and the ability for software to be more verbose. On the attitude side, software development, developers and management s

I think the issue here though is that the permission for access remains even after you're not using the open/save dialog and that's not obvious (or controllable from the UI) after the fact. I think it's reasonable to exp
