Notice that I didn't say "hack", and much of the news doesn't focus on them "hacking" the election in the sense that they altered the vote to get Trump enough votes to win (I'm sure some have argued it but

I researched this recently, as they both seem to cover similar markets, but they are not targeting the same market. Revolut is more like a “traditional” bank, whereas Transferwise is a remittance service, generally bank account to bank acco

On the third point, I think that of the four counter arguments, that one is the least convincing. If a candidate is applying for a new job and are asked to do a work sample or an exercise, but they can't find the time (generally exerci

It's because the guilt of a particular country is a known truth, in this case Russia interfering with the 2016 US presidential election, according to all US intelligence officials when speaking on record. If you need a separate discuss

The most plausible explanation I've seen is that Apple isn't being purposefully malicious and releasing updates to make older phones slower, but that they don't actively test the older phones with the updates and add features

Of the iOS updates I’ve used, iOS 11 has been the worst one by far. I know some of the issues are due to my phone, but there are visual glitches, broken components (playing music won’t actually show in the Control Center until restarting ph

Before I can answer that question, how would you force everyone to receive all content, and force them to ingest it? Being decentralized doesn’t imply you receive all content.

If what you’re getting at is does raw information in and of itself cause harm? No, but I would argue that information can directly cause harm when learned, which is the only way information is used (information has no meaning if it cannot b

To take it to a logical extreme: using this argument you can say that calling digital child porn photos illegal because they are just ones and zeros is silly, which is obviously not true. Illegal content is not a “fake” idea, even it it’s u

The big question is, did Apple state the 1 in 1 million number knowing that they were having supply issues, meaning that the original component was more accurate? This must have been known in some way before the keynote, so I wouldn't

In that case I'm a little confused. If you're showcasing this new technology but it only works well in one browser or has issues in other browsers (Safari lags and Firefox has some issues as well, not sure about Edge), why not wai

On that note, can a screenshot be provided in Firefox with the Webflow designer, provided the code functions? If it's really just a scrollbar issue, and the UI is that bad according to the Bugzilla comment, can we see how it looks?

This page loaded quickly for the amount of stuff it has on it, but it scrolls slowly in some parts (and really slowly in one, the part after WORLD WIDE WEB, with the CERN Welcome screens). It also pegs my CPU the entire time. I assume this

It's the same as taking a photo of someone on the street in general, except this time the man flashed her. Would you say the same for someone who takes a photo with a clear face of someone on a food stand? Plus, it was 30 years ago, no

You could take this argument and say that women shouldn't directly say that they were raped because it's taking justice into their own hands (by telling others about the misdeed rather than letting it happen in a court). The reaso

I think Facebook automatically detected the photo as being sexually explicit and possibly harassing, so it flagged the account automatically (I would guess the ML algorithms were trained on photos like that). At least it was brought back qu

This isn't quite fair. It may be better to have a menu from the Wifi toggle in the Control Center, but it's two clicks (Settings, Wifi) to show the list of wifi networks. It's not that hard or obtuse to locate.

The US doesn’t surround China at all. The only possible highly US friendly border would be a unified Korea, and while some other countries have diplomatic ties to the US they are not strong allies, for example some post Soviet counties like

Is this surprising? I've known for a long time that WeChat chats and data could be read by the Chinese government, given that they censor the chats in real time and the close ties between Tencent and Beijing. I guess it's nice to

The main issue with this argument is that you can't really choose the government you live in, especially if it's under a strong dictator (e.g. you can move from the US, you can't just from North Korea), but you can choose who

Both sides are at fault, and the parent should have been more direct with the recruiter, but the parent is also right -- after a few calls, no more than a week of missed calls and no response, the recruiter should have stopped.
