> Illegally circumventing the Terms of Service is unethical/stealing. That seems like a difficult argument to make because laws don't always align with ethics. Given the myriad of replies around this topic, it seems like opinio

I think whether or not it will actually be cheaper remains to be seen. Right now many AI products are still being heavily subsidized, thus the cheap or free price tag. Once these services decide they need to monetize, it may not be cost eff

Not only that but from what I understand, a major nerve in your jaw grows closer to your wisdom teeth over time. So if you wait on a procedure like that until later in life, it increases the chance that the nerve will be damaged in the proc

Not to mention how primary results become conveniently bungled (one party in particular comes to mind) when they favor candidates which are not particularly well liked by the establishment. The fact that the national political committees ar

Apparently my comment was also not in lock step as you say. I'm not questioning your decision but if we're providing anecdotal data points then we should provide as many as possible.

Sounds like you're assuming your situation applies to everyone.

I used to work in a small computer shop and there were some (presumably) 60-70 year olds who I wouldn't consider to be computer literate in the least running Ubuntu and even other distros. There were at least a couple people who refuse

I did this before in the past with a key off of eBay (no indication made by the seller that the key was not legit other than the suspiciously low price) and everything was fine until it came time to reformat and start fresh roughly a year l

I wonder what this means for users of Australian services who reside outside of Australia? For example I live in the US and use Fastmail as well as some Atlassian products.

I certainly hope that is the case, but I remember the Nvidia CEO (it has been a while so things may be different now) saying they would not increase production because they were worried the demand surge was temporary. So long as crypto is p

>What makes dollars unique is that if you inject more dollars into the free market for a good, then ceteris paribus, you will cause more of that good to be produced. If the video card shortage has taught us anything, it's that this

US is also getting kids back to school but that doesn't mean the virus is under control here. At this point I don't think there is much of a reason to believe anything China is reporting to the rest of the world.

I mean the virus came from China so I guess they didn't do that great of a job of controlling it. Not only that but can we really trust the numbers China is reporting? They have been completely non-compliant with investigations which c

Really strange decision to make in the middle of a pandemic. You would think they would be encouraging activities which enable social distancing, not banning them.

You're claiming that tenant protection laws are the reason apartments are kept empty? That seems like a pretty tall claim. Why would someone even continue to own a space that they feel they can't rent out because they disagree wit

My significant other owned a 2011 MBP and experienced the same thing... She didn't know about the recall and I didn't get a chance to investigate and find out until after the recall window was closed. I can't really avoid usi

Agreed... 2019 MBP here and the touchbar went toast in less than a year. At this point I'll never purchase an Apple product for personal use unless my hands are tied.

I tried this multiple times over the past several years and it seemed to make little difference for me. I'm thinking whoever had this number before me gave it out to anyone and everyone. I will try signing up for this list again. Thank

That's fine, but you also can't just call someone uncivil for using a hyperbole you don't agree with.

No, because the original post never said anything about Amazon, Google, or the oil companies being any different from VW. You are accusing the post as presenting with ignorance towards those data points simply because they don't mentio

This is just baseless speculation. Also that's a great reason why the federal government exists.

So it's civil to engage in anti-competitive behavior which arguably sets back the progress of humanity ("pushing the world forward"), but not civil to use the word 'sociopath' in reference to such actions? I was alw

There is also more affluence in California and the Northeast vs Middle America. Regardless of politics Middle America is not going to be granted the same economic opportunities as coastal regions.
