As a user, I am generally in favor of Apple requiring the option to purchase items and subscriptions through the App Store. I would never subscribe to, for example, HBO NOW if I thought I’d have to go through HBO (owned…
They actually must be sent electronically now in NY, or at least that’s how my doctor explained it to me. I’d assumed that was for all prescriptions, but it could just be controlled substances.
As someone who worked at investment bank for years, and would have had to go to the trouble of getting preapproval for any individual trades, it was far less troublesome just to rely on managed accounts. So, yeah, just…
Why put in hard breaks when pretty much any email client should support soft/flexible line wrapping? Seems more like an issue with the linked site to me.
Just an annoyance in the Consolas font metrics. It would look correct in the bitmapped old console font.
Can you even imagine what an Oracle-built IDE would be like? Perish the thought. (shudder)
More accurately, an entire bird colony > a single cat.
If the scope of potential damage were limited to the assets owned by said corporation, perhaps. In reality, a corporation so isolated would have no reason to exist.
As with many things in life, habits play a huge role. People with low incomes have little choice but to budget responsibly or go into crippling debt. Once you get into the habit of spending responsibly, it’s easy to…
I consider this a serious accessibility problem. Rather than complain to customer service, maybe we should be going straight to their corporate counsel. Frame it as a potential ADA violation. It's actively hostile to…
Usually there are different driving modes. IIRC, in the Tesla sedans, "Chill" mode ups the 0-60 acceleration time to around 8 seconds.
> I don't understand the desire to stay with a company and accept paychecks while simultaneously publicly denouncing and leading protests against them. I do not understand why it should be preferable to say "oh well,…
It depends on which protections you're talking about (note: IANAL either). From what I can gather, it's true that the organizers may not be covered under laws protecting employees who report concerns internally or file…
The benefits are largely obscured by in-game currencies, which exist primarily to obfuscate the true cost of inane in-app purchases; maximize the odds of having a useless residual balance (thus encouraging more…
I tend to think of the classes in terms of standard of living according to one's access to certain tiers of goods and services, but the resulting class divisions end up being pretty similar to yours. --- Tier 1 (basic…
Where in the southeast? I grew up around Knoxville, which had reasonably well defined seasons. Then I moved to Atlanta, which basically has “summer” and “not summer”.
I disagree that most people use ad blockers because they “don’t want to see [any] ads.” Meaning, if advertisers hadn’t built more and more intrusive ads and had stuck with static ads that don’t severely harm the UX,…
In most cases, I don’t think it’s ads as concept that’s the problem. If websites only had static ads in the sidebar, I question how many people would bother with ad blockers. But when ads block content; include flashing…
I have the same rule. If I’m expected to come in on the weekend, my manager had better be there. If it’s important enough to ask me to sacrifice my personal time, then it had better be important enough for him to be…
The value isn't for you; it's for Facebook and the participating financial institutions. They gain perfect visibility into your spending. I guarantee you that this will not have the perceived level of anonymity that…
Should be okay now. There were several BIOS updates early on that made it possible to brick your machine by toggling seemingly innocuous settings, like discrete/hybrid graphics or thunderbolt support. As far as the…
That was my first question: "do the latest fingerprint readers work?" Because I definitely have not found a driver that supports the reader on my ThinkPad X1 Extreme.
Yeah, I don't think burying it in the ninth paragraph of the Terms could be reasonably called 'prominent'. For that matter, the landing page for the Apple Card shoves it into a footnote. Seems like a case of "tech…
> It's writes to any address. It would be quite useless otherwise ... Ugh, you're right, of course. My brain hasn't quite woken up today :-/. I remember there was some subtlety about read/acquire and write/release…
It doesn’t help that there are sometimes subtle but extremely important differences in the guarantees that certain types of barriers provide, be it at the hardware level, language level, VM level, etc. Example: does a…
