Yes, I find that quite unpersuasive. Should we not allow the analysis of hair found at crime scenes because someone might steal some of my hair and place it there? Someone framing me in this manner is incredibly unlikely, would be disproven

Maybe for some, but I honestly don't find it very persuasive. The misuse of license plate data wouldn't make my top ten list of potential powers that law enforcement might abuse. Clearly, abuse of any kind of power should not be t

When you say "especially by a system that has already been demonstrated to be abused," what does that mean exactly? We have some of the largest and globally important cities with tens of thousands of cameras. Look at London, NYC,

There are all sorts of powers we afford law enforcement that could be abused; I hardly think cameras would be at the top of the list of concerns, honestly. NYC has had thousands upon thousands of cameras for quite a while without much fanfa

True, but the example was just an example. Buying a game on PC and making it run on a PS5 - why would something like that ever be illegal?

I don’t think preservation is an important argument. If I own an AppleTV, and I purchase a movie through their service, why should it be illegal for me to export that movie to watch on a different device? I own the hardware and the data, wh

A single screen that is much larger than a MacBook screen, that is the advantage. And the connection dance is really just...tapping the connect button?

The difference between owning a billion dollar company and the deduction from donating a billion dollar company is pretty huge. Donating the company was certainly not a financial benefit for the family in any way.

If you use YouTube a lot, paying for no ads is a no brainer. I pay for YT premium, Apple News+, NYT, Kagi, etc. If you watch just a few videos a month, the price is just not worth it and there is no per-block pricing. Same goes for paid art

Not trying to be a dick but: 1. He tried to not buy Twitter very hard and OpenAI’s new board member forced his hand 2. It hasn’t been a good financial decision if the banks and X’s own valuation cuts are anything to go by. 3. If his purpose

Or they read about the large cuts to Twitter’s valuation from banks and X itself?

100 million monthly active users at the end of October, and still growing, according to Zuck. Is that not considered successful anymore?

To be clear, it looks like there are 40+ DC fast chargers within 50 miles of this location, which seems to be Hollister Hills in CA. Hard to count because it is close to San Jose.

No offense, but it isn't hard to look up how people live in cities and countries with good transit infrastructure. A good starting place might be Netherlands (biking infrastructure coupled with buses and trains) or Switzerland (massive

Public transit in almost every US city is terrible. It isn't hard to see why someone with means would rather call an Uber than wait 15 minutes for the next bus to show up. Public transit can certainly be improved while Uber exists, jus

These programs have existed for many years and at least some portion of borrowers took out loans with the expectation that the government would honor those programs. There is no real reason, outside of ripping off those that can't navi

Oh, I misunderstood. I believe you are missing the forest for the trees but can't fault you for feeling angry if you believe trust was broken.

Respectfully, I think we agree? The current proc macro situation allows security vulnerabilities and a potentially dangerous change went unnoticed for weeks. This RFC aims to address that, at least in part. If the comments I read reflected

Sure. Apple is also giant and (probably?) fits those descriptors as well. Why is Mac so solid under similar circumstances?

Maybe I'm way off, but in my mind social media is more like ice cream or fast food companies knowing their product is unhealthy.

Might be true, I have no idea, but it seems irrelevant when discussing Twitter: they were a public company being offered a generous premium.
