I think you're imagining the ID thief going to the bank and withdrawing your money from your bank account (which probably happens too). I also think your analogy of a "friend" isn't right... you are the bank's PAYIN

To just straightforwardly answer your question: Move or stay wherever you want, and wherever you are, be a good community member by supporting initiatives that will help the area remain affordable to everyone. I've been a "gentrif

if you clicked on the article and read even the sub-title you'd realize that your comment is ridiculous. The full title is "The Real Villain in the Gentrification Story: It’s not young, upwardly mobile college grads." The a

So Anki but 1 ) it's shinier and newer, and 2) you use ML to turn cloze deletion cards into multiple choice cards? Seems interesting, although Anki is still free and incredible. Would be helpful if you had some discussion of the spacin

This is awesome! It seems like you've paid close attention to security and privacy, but I would love a clearer, stronger guarantee. "We truly cannot access your data, will never access your data, and will never, ever sell your dat

Sorry if I’m missing something, but… what’s the problem with that quote? That’s a widely-used heuristic that helps to estimate doubling times without using a calculator (see [the Wikipedia entry]( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w

It would be more honest to say that "this is no longer true." For the majority of Gmail's existence, Gmail did use your actual email content for advertising. And Google still processes the content of your emails, no? Are all

There is a very big difference here. In your example, you've clearly entered into someone else's property; in the case of reading the info sent to your computer... I am reading a thing you sent me! A more accurate version of your

Google Meet is unusable on Firefox... about 1/3 of the time, 30-50min into a meeting, my whole computer starts to freeze up. Using Chrome fixes it. So now I have Chrome on my computer and use it exclusively for Google Meet (I have to u

I love QBserve! It's been really useful for me (if somewhat terrifying to see the amount of time I spend on social media haha). And it's the only product I've found that is both completely functional (a lot of OSS in this s

Something this article doesn't mention is that FB's glasses, because they look extremely-similar to normal glasses, will face less opposition simply because many regular people won't realize that they're being surreptiti

Wow! This is so cool. Jeff Bridges always surprises me. He's a photographer as well, and quite good.

I agree, especially about the poor communications from leaders part... the overwhelming official message (as I have experienced it) has been "vaccines will save us". There was never any serious attempt to add ventilation to school

Surprised to hear you say that... nearly all of the privacy concerns that I've heard raised by tech people in the last decade have become reality. Just a few that come to mind: - A fun recent relevation is that companies are selling &a

This person can comment wherever they want— and the implication of your comment (that someone is out of place or out of line for expressing opposition to digital government ID on a monopoly's platform) is ridiculous.

So have private corporations. The point is that government at least has a mandate to protect it's citizens. Corporations explicitly do not care... and in fact there are many situations where they would be taking on significant liabilit

A Modest Proposal indeed, and so commonsensical it's a wonder it hasn't been implemented already!

I received a safety insert when I got the vaccine. It was pretty thick, actually, and covered potential side effects and risks. This was at a Walgreens pharmacy so I assume that's a broad corporate policy, not just a single pharmacy lo

This is obviously a massive, unanswerable, difficult question. (It's also a great question, in my opinion!) I'll just throw some thoughts out there, from my US-centric point of view: The way I think about climate change and collap

Or we could have spent that "stimulus" on individuals or COVID treatment efforts, rather than e.g. $15billion to airlines that didn't need to be saved and that ended up firing workers anyways! If Delta failed its assets would
