I don't know anything about Epic Games, but as a huge fan of Bandcamp, this feels like a bit of a drag. There's something about Bandcamp that seems exactly right. It's an open, fair and creative way to discover and…
"Fight with" can mean "fight for" or "fight against", which do you mean?
That makes no sense. If Russia had an effective way to conduct its business without SWIFT in the event of sanctions, it would also have a way to conduct its business outside of SWIFT any time it has something to hide.…

Good. There was something absurd about having to accept id.me's terms-of-service, which involved "deals, discounts, cash back rebates and employment and educational opportunities", to access government services online.
Didn't think of that. Just saw my iPhone rocket down from 50% to 10% one time too many and instantly ordered the new Android phone.
I just tried saying "OK google" to my phone and it did not summon the assistant. (Hooray!) I have the generic "Google" app disabled, which I think is the thing that listens on the microphone for that. I don't really…
The lack of a headphone jack was one of the reasons I was reluctant to get a new iPhone.
It's strange that it has to be this way though. I just retired my iPhone 6s because the battery didn't last very long anymore. I don't really need anything but text/phone/email so I didn't feel like shelling out for a…
After-hours on-call is a thing that needs to be destroyed. A company that is sufficiently large that the CEO doesn't get woken up for emergencies needs to have shifts in other timezones to handle them. I don't know why…
If you're being attacked with a wrench, wouldn't you want to avoid deniable encryption? If there's no way to 100% establish that all the money has been extracted, an attacker might keep going indefinitely to see if…
What does it do that can't be accomplished with something the size of a remote controlled car?
"To help you fool yourself" seems like a euphemism for "to fool you". It's gotta be tough to go from "scant knowledge of S3" to genuine knowledge if the documentation is doing this to you. If the docs are…
Writing out the digits gives a more visceral impression of the difference in weight, from roughly one, to a six-digit number, to a nine-digit number.
It seems somewhat strange that a company selling a service to EU customers might be in trouble for using Google Fonts in a jurisdiction (e.g. Germany) where there are ways to identify a user by means of IP address [0];…

If a lockdown and travel restrictions, with limited duration, could have contained the spread of COVID or some other disease, I don't think it's an unreasonable impingement on civil liberties. Practically speaking a few…
The author of the piece seems to be taking the tweet about half the journalists under 40 living in that area pretty literally. I don't know if the author of the tweet intended it that way (and if he was speaking…
The police wouldn't have to raid the family members, they'd likely give up what they know immediately, to avoid become accessories to whatever crime the police were alleging.

It's not just the potential for a breach. I didn't want id.me itself to have my information. It's ridiculous to have a private company, not accountable to the public, gatekeeping government services, regardless of how…
What a bizarre essay. It has a Modest Proposal vibe, but since "Poe's law" is a thing now, I can't tell if it's satire or not. Morality is conspicuously absent, but I'm concerned that devoting any thought to this counts…
I don't think improvised desks are inappropriate for early-stage startups, especially in the 1990s. Apple started in Steve Jobs parents garage.
