TVs with Google TV that you put into Basic mode ( https://support.google.com/googletv/answer/10408998?hl=en ) fulfill most of that, though they're probably still sending some data back. I have my firewall set

I don't get why a lot of this discussion assumes children can't communicate with peers without social media. Calling and texting are still a thing. So is coordinating during school to plan meetups after school. Besides, I think ve

> Stripe is developer centric. What kind of excuse is that? I've seen so many small businesses using Stripe. I doubt all their owners are developers who are comfortable with Discord.

That's more a people problem than a technology problem. Many user interface paradigms have been tried over the decades. We've largely settled on what we have because it is what people were able to adapt to. Similar to how driving

I'd argue they are smart. I shop a lot at Wal-mart, but rarely step in the store. I shop online, do their free grocery pickup and their in-store (non-grocery) pickup. The last one is technically walking into the store, but the non-groc

I went to SUNY Buffalo and while it isn't purely commuter, there was a significant commuter population. I lived with my parents nearby and had an 8-9 minute commute. If I had an 8am lecture (before the majority of commuters were there

Even worse is how infinite scrolling breaks Ctrl-F searching. Most websites no longer render the offscreen content to improve performance, so the content you scrolled past (and the content you haven't gotten to yet) is no longer there

Yes that is a common problem. I could see GitHub creating tools to help you select a license and inform you how to use it properly, as well as having systems that show you how the license affects your project.

Yeah for my area it's about 70% UHaul, 30% shady looking unmarked van. Yesterday I saw for the first time a van that was actually one of those Amazon Prime vans they show in the photos on their website. It wasn't delivering to me,

Yes, but the size people see as phablet has changed over time. It's basically a size larger than the average person is comfortable with as a phone. Yes, it used to be 5-6", but now it is more in the 6-7.5" range, largely due

Yes, they're technically smartphones, but by that use of the word, all phones in the last 15 years are smartphones. Over the past decade, the term smartphone typically refers to a general purpose computing device that fits in your pock

> Pocophone, Huawei, Xiaomi You can't find these in stores in the US, so there's little competition there. Even OnePlus only sells the OnePlus 6T in stores.

Even a 10 year old PC (assuming it wasn't low-end at time of purchase), with a SSD, is still good enough for most people. For me, I'm planning on getting a Pixel 3a. The talk of it being like a "2 year old flagship" soun

I haven't read the book, but from your summary it sounds like the argument is that for illnesses that we don't yet understand well enough to cure or even have a potential cure, we should use a different word. That sounds pedantic.

Agreed. I'm sticking with my GTX 960 that I got for under $200 new three years ago. I haven't seen anything with a better performance per dollar ratio than I got at that time. Anything I buy would be a downgrade by that metric.
