That's just your team then. Swift is far superior to Objective-C(rap) in terms of both speed and overall productivity.

This. Every study suggesting holding a cellphone is equally risky to drunk driving must be false. I rode a commuter bus for years and saw the exact same thing you describe, and no one would seriously suggest 50-75% of drivers are (equivale

I monitor conspiracy stuff heavily and I never saw anyone there claim there were microchips in the vaccines. I did however see a bunch of comments in “mainstream” sections mocking a conspiracy I never saw support for.

Project managers like the pretty inline previews! Security? Pssh that's just for nerds.

We could call it hybrid capitalism, mix the free market vs government run non profit.

That’s actually hilarious. If you loose all 3 of your backup sources just FOIA the NSA for their copy!

Unfortunately the lolbertarian approach overlooks the fact that you live in a civilization composed of others humans, and that the collective mental health of said humans can very quickly impact your day to day life. So you, as an individua

Their goal is not equality of opportunity, it is equality of outcome. They’ll willingly sacrifice anyone in the top 50% to elevate the lowest of the low, no matter how little they try or deserve it. This is broadly true in all leftist polic

Per number 5, even sticking to just the verified stuff it is well known Obama used these powers to spy on Trump’s campaign, and Trump used them to spy on Biden/force Apple to be silent giving up Biden-people’s iCloud data via NSL gags.

We could use a top-down weighting to modify the incentive topology such that local production of widgets is financially advantageous. We could call this system “tariffs”.

Apple's human review is largely useless. Trolls will be able to easily use tools slightly modify ambiguous adult porn to collide with a "known CP hash". A human reviewer will see a blurry grayscale derivative of adult pornogr

Facebook and google are not catching 20m people a year, they're mostly flagging and removing tor/proxy-based throwaway accounts.

That is a horrifying idea... eliminate fixed rate interest mortgages and the banks can target and de-home people at will.

They're too busy writing spyware for iOS 15.

After Apple's incredible reversal on privacy/spyware inclusion in iOS 15 I've chosen to cancel all future purchases with them and buy this. Hoping my american-made one comes soon. I will likely continue to carry my 12 pro max

While these kind of suggestions are no doubt intended to be helpful, they come off as ignorant to anyone who has lived in a mosquito-prone area. Short of living in an actual bat cave, you’ll never get the density of predators required to so

A just tax would be a consumption tax. Rich people consume more, so it makes sense and is fair to pay more to a society you consume more from. If you make a lot of money and live frugally why should you pay more?

Indeed, yet it holds these concepts hostage whenever someone suggests we eliminate entire classes of taxes. The truth is the tax system has two primary objectives: 1) to prevent upper middle class from the type of long term wealth accumulat

How are those concepts related? Currently I fund, under threat of armed men coming to my house to arrest me, a framework that largely aims to undermine, regulate, and eliminate my rights. The states unconditional right to your labor has no

by zionic 5y ago
That makes perfect sense because taxation is theft and immoral. It is therefore consistent that the moral basis for our unjust society is itself unjust.

This is reversing cause and effect. The population creates a civilization that creates wealth for the government to tax.

Hardly, those things are parasitic load that prevents the platform from growing and prospering. They also breed dependence and servitude to the centralized authority, many of which are even designed such that working and earning income puts

Hard disagree. This entire process reveals systemic rot at Apple. The engineers who built, the project managers who coordinated, and the executives who signed off on this smoothbrain idea need to be drummed out without ceremony. No severanc
