The headline is false (“WhatsApp Backdoor allows Hackers to Intercept and Read Your Encrypted Messages”), in the sense that hackers can’t actually read and intercept WhatsApp messages. Normally the reporting of a…
MDMA induces tolerance and requires dose escalation for redosing after the acute effects wear off. It’s like benzos, heroin, or speed in that respect. At least it will stop working eventually so few people would…
A lot of the hard work of scientists and engineers is enabled by chats, though.
I have the QC 35 II and I didn’t need the app to pair them. There’s a physical switch that you can hold to enable Bluetooth pairing.
Somebody once said that that Apple’s business model is charging a very high markup for flash memory (currently it’s $50 per 64 GB to upgrade storage on an iPhone or MacBook). The margin on other parts is also high. The…
If some affiliate is actually doing the work of obtaining the customer to earn the fee, but then the customer has an economic incentive to strip the affiliate attribution to get the fee for themselves, then the…
A few years ago you could look up any cellphone number’s location on a public website: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/05/tracking-firm-locationsm...
I wonder if there is some kind of collective bargaining among dealers in the negotiations with GM, that binds all the dealers. Or if the buyouts are just too good to refuse.

I think you’re making a weaker version of this argument than you need to, because you’re framing it in terms that oppose the politics of half of the public, when you really only need to argue against a much more…
What if many billions in capital are needed, and there’s risk too? It’s just not worth getting involved unless you can earn billions.
I buy it for basic research that a few people in a lab can do, but it seems hard to coordinate the efforts of tens of thousands of people that way. You need ruthless prioritization of different initiatives and…
Who’s going to invest the capital and do the work to run a company that develops technology (eg. hiring the tens of thousands of people required to fabricate 5 nm chips and build cell phones) if there is no way to…
Why did Cadillac need to offer the buyout? Could Cadillac just tell dealers that the chargers are a requirement to keep being a dealer? Could a dealer that doesn’t want to install the chargers reject the buyout and keep…
Firing for cause would be something of a “nuclear option” here and IMO would significantly increase the risk of a court battle. The peanuts Google would save in severance costs would not be worth the PR damage.
If that’s happening, I think you just broke the news early.
It has been a long time since the Apple TV was updated, but it performs well for 4k content so I’m not sure what the average user would want from an upgrade. Personally the only item on my wish list is very niche -…
Apple TV has the best experience IMO and supports all major streaming services.
Is that something that happened in the past or some plans Goldman has announced for the future?
I don’t think shareholders would be very happy to have that money spent on capex instead of paying dividends.
Companies have bought a lot of seats for software that employees didn’t actually adopt. Those customers are more likely to churn. Reporting DAU helps account for that possibility.
