They fully comply with Chinese requirements if you subscribe to iCloud in China, and they do this quite transparently. They do not, notably, say they don't share anything with China and then go ahead and do it anyway. Unless Apple is s

Accumulation post dispersion is also a thing. If the combined effects of individually harmless activities was not an issue, this comment thread wouldn't exist.

I guess the difference between an overthinker and having foresight is the rate of false positives?

Yeah that video is all kinds of amazing. I also got lost down a several hour rabbit hole watching the guy and his buddies bring up an AGC and perform a simulated lunar landing with it. Thank you for sharing!

Holy cow, yes. I switched to FF a while back, and your description of the behavior alone raised my blood pressure. They way return automatically opens whatever the first suggestion is immensely frustrating. The way hitting `return` is l

I'm genuinely, in a completely non-judgmental way, interested to understand what systemic forces lead to such a staggeringly high percentage of this brand of fraud.

I have always been enamored by hive insects like ants and bees. Each individual's understanding, effect, even its optical view of the world is minuscule. The scope and of the individual's existence is so tiny, that the mark it mak

I wouldn't only because I've already seen enough examples of them impugning their credibility that I've been able to form my own conclusions. I wasn't aware that the NYT was considered equivalently and oppositely biased.

So a reelection cliffhanger. Does actually seem plausible for this administration.

Sounds like a win-win for them. They get to market themselves as staying up to date with tech (although the HSBC personal banking app I use indicates otherwise). And when they "lose track of" the money they move for the cartel and

Beta 7.1 was where it where I got hooked. The Steyr Scout was a 1 shot kill with the same move speed and cs_mansion was the epitome of map balance. At least at the 12-PC internet cafe I could play at.

An insane mistake to make, but perhaps more surprising than the fact that it could be allowed to happen is that someone who benefited from the mistake is willing to simply hand the ETH back.

I thought it was an interesting anecdote. I didn't read it as a rebuttal but simply as extra data to consider. Both the article and this comment provide much food for thought.

> if a company makes a profit of $100, they'd have to pay $21 in tax, and the company's equity gain is then $79. If you then charge a 35% tax on top of the $79, then that means you've taxed the $100 profit at 56%, which is

Wouldn’t that make it almost impossible to meet emission regulations? I’m not a fan of how opaque cars have gotten, but I’ll accept some loss of control for cleaner air.

I'll second this. They fixed everything that was wrong with the previous generation, and it's hardware I'd actually recommend now. Catalina, on the other hand...

It’s a survival instinct when there’s two mouths to feed, and one meal to do it. When there’s enough for everyone and more, and we take enough resources for 50 because then we get it faster, cheaper, and shinier... well, I wouldn’t personal

There are some days I definitely don’t disagree with you. For all our intelligence, we spend an awful lot of it being senselessly destructive. Hard to argue that’s worth keeping around.

I guess if you try to quantify a species’ value by looking at its utility, either to the ecosystem or for our amusement, you may arrive at the conclusion that some species are not worth saving. Reasonable even if a little cold. I tend to ta
