Best case scenario this turns out like how California effectively sets automotive emissions standards nation-wide. No state is perfect, but I'd trust California more than any other state [large enough to have this power]. For anyone &q

Calling them "morals" was meant flippantly, though I suspect should have used quotation marks to call that out a bit more. "Multiple ad campaigns and a marketing posture based around privacy" is probably better.

In a perfect world? The same way Apple did in ~2015. Argue that code is equivalent to speech, compelling them to write code to change the way the system works is compelling speech, and making that demand is unconstitutional. Apple gets lots

Oh good, an unalterable ledger stating the wallet associated with you paid for an abortion medication. Good thing the US is in a social headspace where none of us believe that that will be made retroactively illegal. Bitcoin is absolutely n

Frankly, even the scarequotes around break feel misplaced. Your Mom can't use the device like she wants to. An accessibility feature is gone to the point you can't get it back. That feels pretty broken to me.

I mean sure, drivers need support, but getting rid of drivers increases the support requirements. Drivers perform the legally-required pre-trip every time they leave the yard. This finds things that must be fixed. The coach will then spen

You should probably know that "Labor" includes a hell of a lot more than drivers though. That's, at minimum, the tiremen to the body guys to the mechanics that maintain the busses. That's the electricians, the carpenters

The OEMs don't care Netflix is no longer supported - they're OCR'ing, hashing, and selling what you're watching either way. They only need you to care enough to hook it up to the internet in the first place so they can s

I still like Famicom > Super Famicom as the best successor name, but having to go back that far to find some competition for naming probably says something.

Sure, but if it becomes ubiquitous, web devs will assume lower latency. That wouldn't make it less sad, just makes different people sad - my first guesses are those at crowded areas with overloaded cellular connections, and Australia

That... would actually explain the "Canada as the 51st state" bit too. Canada is massive, but still of exaggerated size with Mercator projection

The point is not "This is fine" vs "This is not", it's that the exact same images are allowed by advertisers, but not allowed from users. It is a blatant, damning example of who the customers are, and who matters,

Implication is along the lines of "We all need accessibility features sometimes" , I assume. Show a newborn the stairs and see how they do vs an elevator (though I assume the buttons would flummox them), and extreme age will make

I can't say for everyone, but my current Mazda 3 (and I suspect my previous tenth-gen Civic) lifts to only one side at a time. There is no jack point (in the manual at least) at the front allowing you to jack the vehicle (with the sing

I think it's weird how, on a site filled to the brim with engineers and comp-sci people that laugh at (or drink to) management believing the sales team, we all take the pitch deck from a sales team at face value. If marketing or sales

I'm not going to dictate MP3, but yes: podcasts absolutely are an audio file pulled from an RSS feed. Your description covers some podcasts, but not every podcast has video (which should be entirely optional if it's there at all,

Considering how frequently my fiancee and I drive, 10% per day of the base model's ~400km range would actually be enough

Delayed charge (waiting to charge fully or charging the last ~20% slowly to just-in-time for your alarm) is a different setting, though I don't recall the name for the "Only charge to 80%" one

We (or I, at least) aren't asking Joe Blogman to host his own site (though if he does, I'll cheer them on just the same). We're asking other, bigger sites, the ones that large groups of people visit, to avoid Cloudflare. Thes

Respectfully, I'm incredulous that you think trains need dramatically more infrastructure than aircraft. For that matter, I'd peg aircraft infrastructure as worse - the asphalt, the noise, the culling of all vegetation save scrubg

It's not a complaint of how you (or I) can self-host and avoid Cloudflare, it's a complaint about how so many others use do Cloudflare. Especially what happens if Cloudflare doesn't like the way your IP address or browser

On a short enough time frame, the golden egg currently inside the goose is more valuable than the goose itself. The problem comes when you kill the long-term profits trying to get an immediate return. Thinking you can make more money in the

I'd still say that it's motor vehicles in general that are getting bigger and heavier. The unfair comparison (Mazda CX-9 SUV) has an ICE vehicle weighing in heavier, but even my small-by-modern-standards Mazda 3 Sport is <200kg

Noting that TekSavvy (and only TekSavvy) fought the block, I looked into being one of their customers again. It was a good experience in the last city I lived in, and I was a customer for a year in my current location. They still lose on

Ironic how many seem to have missed this considering the crowd (and their familiarity with what a browser is) and topic (a numeracy and reading comprehension test)
