Sure, but it's their software that you are 'licensed' to use under their conditions. So sure, the silicon is yours, but the bits on it are merely licensed for use by you. Not sayin…

What about in the Apple case where: - The alternative is hold the keys to your photo library and scan the entire thing (like google photos) vs - Don't hold the keys but do CSS, tha…

We are still projecting stuff onto a 2D screen and wishing to interact with it. So fundamentally it's not a huge difference. I guess we have gyros, and cool audio processing and I …

Curious why population is even a factor here. If it legitimately should be... why not compare states of the US with states of the EU? (Seems a roughly equivalent thing to do)

What ever internet connection you used had a MUCH larger footprint on the world than starlink ever would... Why does starlink "feel very wrong". Satellites are small... and 2 miles…

Neither Apple or Google's solution actually does contact tracing. You still need an army of people and drs working together to contact trace, their solution augments it nicely, but…

> The whole point is not having to understand everything at once. And I would expect to understand what that particular line does to whatever level of detail I want by reading that…

So... Turn off Bluetooth/wifi... Attend. Take a selfie. Proof of false negative. Never show up again. This is very easily solvable without outrage.

Research done more than 20 years ago (and repeated and confirmed) already found that teachers have very little effect on educational outcomes. The biggest correlative factor is soc…

I love this straw man. You know North Korea is a democratic people’s republic... we wouldn’t want to repeat that... yet democracy persists!

You are mistaking what an "index" is. You don't need to host any of "the internet" on your servers. You just need to host where it is.

If someone facetimes you and hangs up, that can happen. (I've noticed).

I don't understand how a charge against a company (Huawei) can result in a extradition request of an individual (the CFO at that)... So if Australia passes some tax law that Google…

If you have a foreign phone and turn on international roaming the firewall Doesn't apply. Has been my experience.

Oh gosh, a company in China follows Chinese law! The outrage! Regardless what your view is, are you seriously suggesting companies should break the laws of the countries they opera…

Democracy isn't very new... Unless Plato is considered new...

Likely a simulation... Even though there isn't any empirical evidence of this fact... But you still believe? Is athiesm just another form of religion these days?

The ratings on corners (at least in Australia) are rated based on visibility, not some complicated traction calculation. They factor how far a head you can see, and how much time y…

Off topic, and likely you are just trolling. But: Ketones are not carbs. The body does not need carbs. Your analogy is incorrect

Australia does it, you can use your driver's licence, your passport, or your birth certificate and a recent bill. Or Medicare card. There is no cost to requiring ID... It is you co…

Falun Gong, a group supposedly that just likes practicing qigong, which if you ever visit China you will see thousands of people do this every day. But which seems to Have a massiv…
