Most footage pulled from security cameras is only so-so anyway. Faces aren’t always perfect. Maybe this changes when they’re all 4kHDR.

You do, in fact, opt into this manually on an iPhone.

This is a hard problem to fix with UX, as evidenced by Apple's over-simplistic warnings. e.g. Threads may collect your financial data! But only if you give it to them, usually to purchase ads or verifications, etc.. This scary warning

There are a small handful of exceptions. Many were in the exactly the right place at the right time. That’s not a repeatable strategy. I wouldn’t start RedHat today.

The government can still use the JPEG though.

Ah but the government will enforce my claim on the house if I’m holding (rightfully) the title. And if someone steals the title, it doesn’t mean they own my house.

Two things that jumped out at me: 1. It’s 2021. You can get a remote job for a big company that pays 10-15% less in Akron, not 40%. If you don’t want to work remote, you can still use BA remote salaries as leverage for local negotiations. 2

Well, 10km^2 is pretty tiny in a country the size of China, and I'm not sure how high up the pollution goes (higher than buildings but lower than planes). So it's still a lot of pollution, just much less actual mass than I would h

That's really interesting. Maybe the pm2.5 is less visible than the PM10, but maybe I'm just way way off. As for the volume of air, I'm most curious where the 15% measurement was taken and how consistent it was. How far from

So... to drop the PM2.5 amount by 15%, this tower must be removing many many tons of particulate matter every day. How is it removed from the filters they speak of? How expensive is that to do? I have some questions about the practicality.

You can have it both ways. Maybe you don’t get college credit for learning how to interview, but a college could offer a free seminar on interviewing well in the evening or something. Colleges very much care how well their graduates do in t

Worth noting that Apple’s share of high-end Intel chips is much higher. Thus, Apple’s share of Intel’s consumer revenue is probably substantially north of 10%.

Be was designed to be lightweight and parallel. It was optimized for many threads and the API pushed you to embrace threading. It also had pretty decent scheduling for media stuff. Not quite real-time OS, but closer. It was screaming fast a

One reason might be that it seems easier to mix languages with Rust vs. Go. The C interop is pretty sane and Go has a few more gotchas in that department. The rest of the Rust v Go debate may be similar to the 1000 times people have had it

So Windows has this problem more than other platforms because of OEMs and drivers and such are 3rd party by default, rather than as the exception. Still, there isn't really sufficient protection to avoid telemetry and data collection o

IANAL, but fair use doesn’t cover commercial art used to sell something, like this DVD packaging. If it did, the stock photography business might crumble overnight.

As the unfortunately named grabcocque pointed out, you’re only really replacing the simple button press with one gesture. Beyond that you’re replacing complex uses of the button with gestures. And most of the complex stuff is non-essential

You didn’t need to buy “horse insurance.” The real change happens when it doesn’t make buisness sense to insure you.

As I mentioned in a previous comment, you can fix some of the problems; caching metadata is a great example. The real issue is not whether abstractions are good, but at what layer and how pure/leaky they should be. If I build a SQL eng

To be pedantic, I don't think I agreed that any of my claims were hasty, just that some of them could be addressed more easily than others. Caching metadata, for example. To be clear, I have a lot of respect for FDB and what their team

All of these rules seem to make sense. They probably made sense 5 years ago? But seriously, why the grace period? If I condone violence to promote a cause in October, is that ok? Just not next month? Is revenge porn ok for another 6 days?
