In Trump's original post, he is "calling for" the rate cap, which I interpret differently to "mandating" a rate cap. The Guardian article seems to think that the executive has no a…

I was once in South Africa and needed to look up my prescriptions in the CVS app. I had lost my pills and needed to show a local pharmacist what I needed. CVS geoblocked me. Luckil…

My understanding is that they aren't handing over any money... we are.

> The real estate market is driven by speculation no? No, it's driven by supply and demand.

Because it affects them too.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

That doesn't refute the original point, though. Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts are products that embrace the open podcasting model. Spotify and Youtube Music do not, and these …

I'm curious: would a few leafy house plants do the trick here?

Well, I'll go a step further and say that 3.6mm/yr is not evidence of a crisis.

Back in 2006, our expectations were set when An Inconveient Truth contemplated what would happen if sea levels rose by six meters (in our lifetime). 3.6mm a year seems a bit meh in…

Well, the old-timers (such as me) don't really like what Spotify are doing either. A "podcast", in our view, conforms to a de-facto standard, the RSS feed. This is what ensures its…

Well, for boring technical reasons, I guess they will remain blocked.

Level 21: We help governments and VIPs cover up their crimes under the guise of moderation.

Let me guess... the solution is to eat ze bugs.

> Is it censorship when your email provider removes spam? No, but only in situations where it is user controlled. In other words, tools that empower a user to control what they rea…

Yes, but only if you're a salaried employee in the US.

> what would you have wanted done differently? When these problems were first reported, resolve to stick with the principle of informed consent rather than impose mandates.

Alright. We apologise for incorrectly classifying our concerns. I'm sure that this error justifies the continued violation of our rights.

It does, at least according to several courts. This particular aspect of privacy is famously known as "The right to be forgotten." More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to…

Looks like the privacy alarmists were right all along.

We've also been presented with the sole intermediaries between the "science" and ourselves. If we dared to question anything, we were asked if we were an expert instead of the expe…
