    This is, in every actual sense of the word, “problematic”. Even being charitable and ignoring those who claim that reddit is a cesspool, a single source here is bad. Really bad.

    I’m late in responding, but yeah… No particular duty on the part of the police, including in the middle of someone killing you, and all (see the book “Dial 911 and Die”).

    Since it looks like you’re the author, well… “you’re (that’s) socialist.” Given you’ve (ironically or not) opened with a threat to murder anyone who makes this claim, via “I’m tire…

    When this is so clearly theft, how can the police just claim “it’s a civil matter”? They seem to like that excuse, I know… but gahhh!

    No, it won’t be. If “AI” doesn’t improve past that, it will have failed. If it has improved past that, I won’t have a future job, and neither will you.

    As someone else mentioned it IS entirely problematic how advertisers/others abuse people, and I get WHY location gets stripped. I still think it's abusive to take away the user's c…

    So how do I get a Sr. Dev job in London from US public sector?

    Generalized, noting there are always exceptions: many CS lessons seem to be needing repetition among Node.js users, in the general sense and where CS wasn’t really taught. Mistake?…

    And now some suspicion starts setting in. Granted, someone is going to have multiple runs of “bad luck”, statistically.

    The kinds of things you want here, and that I think we all do, are hard. Yes, ideally a trusted intermediary would do something like… read your digital ID (which stiLL doesn’t guar…

    Wasn’t them finally implementing competent (if overly annoying) iCloud MFA the result of this kind of thing, with social engineering/photo leaks from celebrities or something? It t…

    You don’t need the App Store to install most apps, and can just download .dmg or even .zip files with them; I feel like only a handful of developers go full-App Store-only (with go…

    Even a small claims filing in the US, which might have a $10k limit, does damage to Apple far enough above the effort it takes them to “just intelligently fix it” to make it worth …

    What kinds of stacked cross-promotions like this exist, and even work out financially for everyone?

    I’ll extend this, seriously, to the 3-2-1 model. It’s all fun and games, rhetorically, until someplace burns down.

    The US has just proposed making the ESTA application process mobile-only. As an example of one. Banks requiring device attestation may be a pain in the ass, but it’s not a “require…

    Not so. I just traded in/upgraded (on a Verizon contract, but AT the Apple Store; maybe that affects this… but still paying Apple directly) and they handed me the new phone and had…
