I understand the poll is misrepresented but I find the proposition to be extremely anti-human in the first place — climate change is a real threat, but any directives need to take …

My first employer had this rule — reverse parking only. If you parked the wrong way then reception would send you back out. Their argument for it was basically the same as the Army…

Same as Boruto, worth it without a doubt. The quality of vision is better than with glasses or contact lenses.

I recently had laser eye surgery and subsequently re-evaluated my relationship with glasses over the previous 15 years — obviously I was frustrated enough to get the surgery but ha…

I made a rudimentary iOS Shortcut that will get one of these and let you send it to either iMessage or WhatsApp. Go nuts: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a49a1e9e05844a16a98a41cad…

If you see something, say something, and report the person sending that stuff.

I don’t think it’s as trivial as you suggest, but yeah they could do that – they always could have made changes to flag crime or give access to criminal’s devices but they still re…

> If I go on 4chan and an illegal image loads and caches into my phone before moderators take it down or I hit the back button, will Apple’s automated system ruin my life? No, only…

The CCP can already scan everything server side – iCloud encryption is weaker in China and the servers are controlled by a different entity than Apple. Getting iPhones to scan for …

Spotify even ran an email campaign to tell users that they can save money paying outside the App Store.

You can opt out of your pension contributions. You can’t opt-out of paying student loans, which is an available option with other debts. Student loan deductions reduce a balance th…

You aren’t wrong, but hitting 6 figures at age 30 is very far from the typical experience. Outside of London it’s not guaranteed you’d even hit £60k. Plan 2 students are screwed, w…

+9% if you’re still repaying student loans, which is common until 40s. Student loans operate like a tax in the U.K., taking 9% of your pre-tax income above 15 or 25k directly from …

I don’t disagree with you, but I suspect learning to write single characters accelerates learning to read. Joined up writing is totally bogus and most of the time I encounter it it…

My reason for not using google services goes beyond privacy. I also do not want to contribute to or reward Google’s monopoly practices

Well you have 6 numbers and only 5 seconds to show them in. You could show 0 only when the timer has fully completed. I think either rounding up, or rounding to the closest integer…

> I would be shocked if this happened, since Apple has no ecosystem of game developers whatsoever. Apple is one of the biggest publishers in the market, with over $8bn revenue from…

I’ve witnessed this behaviour firsthand too. Several months after leaving MedShr I left what I still felt was a very honest review. 4 weeks after submission I got an email that the…

I think they’d struggle to do anything with it, given anti-trust concerns

Most self employed people are eligible to claim up to 80% of the average of their previously declared income up to 2.5K for the last 3 years. There are some notable gaps, but the v…

Swift is extremely good at this pattern. I’ve been using this pattern a lot with associated values. You remove any ambiguity in the state of your view controller, and any unhandled…

Yeah I bought my television some years ago through their warehouse deals for around 40% off. It was seemingly entirely unused, whoever had purchased it previously had gone through …

The same could be said of alcohol, but I doubt most people who are drinking are also driving while under the influence.

I believe the parent poster is referring to the stereotype that BMW drivers have an aggressive and selfish driving style, and that they never use their indicators/blinkers.

The Apple dialogs fwiw are at least easy to understand, and are distinctive for each security nag type. Having used Catalina in public beta over the last month it really does not f…
