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.
If I were asked to impart one piece of advice to prospective CS students, it would be to take advantage of your school’s coop work program or, if there isn’t one, to try and find a recurring internship. Nothing beats…
Just an annoyance in the Consolas font metrics. It would look correct in the bitmapped old console font.
Unless your software can walk itself down to the courthouse, probably not. Courts are, to be generous, a bit behind the times.
Can you even imagine what an Oracle-built IDE would be like? Perish the thought. (shudder)
Good luck suing a call center in Bangalore when you live in the U.S.
More accurately, an entire bird colony > a single cat.
Indeed. Raise the cap to $300,000/day per facility, and this might actually have an effect. For most hospitals, a fine of $300 a day isn’t a fine at all, and I assume that’s by design.
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.
I suppose it depends on whether expected future debt is considered ‘debt’. If you have no savings, then it’s very likely you’ll still go into crippling debt eventually; at best, you’re staving it off until retirement.…
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…
Perhaps it’s the case they can most easily prove, and/or find enough class members with standing who are willing to get involved.
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…
I think the Touch Bar is an interesting tool with plenty of potential. My objection is that I'm forced to forego physical function keys to get it. When I'm stepping through code, I want physical keys with tactile…
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…
