Is your argument that the ends justify the means?

Are you saying that the current generation of Hollywood stars are generally nepo babies? I’m not saying it’s not true, but Tom Holland and Timothee Chalamet are not good examples f…

Have you created much intellectual property?

While this might seem pedantic, is it actually illegal not to have a home?

I think that's exactly the point the parent comment was making: that, as with driving, an individual who is unable to take the wellbeing of others around them into account can/shou…

"Telco bootlicking" feels pretty strong for the seemingly reasonable view that a customer doesn't own a phone they haven't paid for. There are absolutely worthwhile discussions to …

It is ( https://www.fcc.gov/general/cell-phone-unlocking ). The kind of unlocking at issue in this case refers to a) unlocking phones that a customer owes a balance for or b) unblo…

Ah, I think you're confused by the way the preceding paragraph ends ("Apple told WIRED that it also plans to continue working with child safety experts [...]"). The paragraph you'r…

The last paragraph of the story is a concluding statement by the author on the difficulty of countering CSAM, and it says no such thing. The announced opt-in feature for iCloud fam…

Can you give examples of some of the times Apple has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar? Otherwise it seems like a bit of a false equivalence.

> Are you really suggesting that people should make Cascading Style Sheets do more than styling? The parent made no such suggestion. You seem to be conflating the purpose of HTML c…

Sincere question: what new steps would you recommend they take? The iOS location request prompt uses very clear language while allowing for granular access, and the granted permiss…

Wouldn’t that make it mostly interesting history with a little bit of an ad?

I think you missed the point. There’s nothing wrong with Outside sharing nice places with world, but it’s ironic that they would also publish an article decrying the very populariz…

Good thing that isn't what the parent comment is arguing then.

I found quotes from Mark Cuban, but I’m not seeing any comments on this proposal from Buffett/Gates/Bloomberg/Soros. Can you share your sources?

Roger. I considered that but just wanted to clarify, thanks.

> since the late 1960s opposition has included the use of nuclear power Confused—isn’t that what I said?

I think the origins of the anti-nuclear movement are generally associated with the flower-power/Summer of Love/anti-war/early environmental movements of the late 60s/early 70s, whi…

What do you imagine that would look like? Not trying to be flippant, genuinely curious.

I think we’re talking web apps, but the third complaint could still be valid.

An interesting subject, but I couldn’t help but be totally derailed by introduction of Jonathan Hoefler as “designer of famed fonts like Gotham”. That’s like introducing Thomas Edi…

> Finally, non-security removals should have a grace period of 60 to 90 days. That was the part that seemed especially outrageous to me. 14 days to appeal or make changes, with no …

30 on the dot, but my school was pretty liberal/progressive/what-have-you, so that may have helped. Hopefully considering those needs is more commonplace now, and folks won't have …

I'd say "judgment" rather than the significantly more loaded "whims", but you're right, the policy still relies on a human arbiter. A codified system is bound to introduce problems…
