    > phone snatchers largely don't exist because you can't do anything with the phone without the owner's password to reset it

    So just track you on the back end instead? I don't know what that really changes. If you mean to say just not track you at all and show you untargeted ads, well they are worth less…

    Stop what? Showing ads? They have to fund it somehow, there will always be ads. Most users aren't willing to pay for anything on the internet, and unfortunately revenue is required…

    Presumably Louis wants to reach as many people as possible and would like to know how many people he's reaching though.

    Any credible evidence that they get enough money from the sponsorships to be considered fully funded by them? Or that ground news uses influence over these channels? I can throw a …

    That doesn't just target sponsor segments. It's for stuff commonly skipped. Like annoying parts of videos. Some video game guy I occasionally watching thinks he needs to sing for s…

    0% financing on Apple card, 3-8% annual inflation the last 4 years, you'd be dumb not to take it

    I'd rather optimize my $20 running shorts around my $1000 phone than the other way around tbh. No phone is comfortable in the pocket when running though, I used to use an arm strap…

    Because if the case gets damaged you can easily replace it. People would still put a case on a bulky phone to protect resale or trade in value. A super thin phone doesn't require a…

    I'd agree if there were fewer compromises required to pull it off.

    I've had like 10x more pressure lately to hire cheap contractors from India than I ever did to hire a woman or black guy at any point in my 10 years of hiring in this field.

    No mention that 2 candidates from other parties died in the run up. Or that it's out of 20,000+ individuals contesting various seats. No mention that they are mostly 59+ years old …

    It’s useful for almost any one-off script I write. It can do the work much faster than me and produce nicer looking output than I’d ever bother to spend time to write myself. It ca…

    Kind of depends on which plugins you use and how much you depend on them. But in general yeah, local files and whatnot means you have very little risk of losing them if Obsidian sh…

    The layers and "savory" history are the only things I spotted. Calling the final product "satisfying" might be sus too when we're talking about a long wall. For hamburgers I don't …
