Identify a harm first and then go through the deliberative process. The company deciding it wants this usually means you run the other way, not towards it. Did Big Tobacco volunteer to think of the children?

Then don't use the shitty to justify what to do with the not really shitty. It's a logical fallacy.

Who decides what is bad parenting? You tread on dangerous grounds.

Not possible? You can remove all those conversations from training and see if it still solves the problem. That'll be expensive though.

So why not use 2D maps, have people lost the ability to read North up maps? I swear ever since paper maps have not been used in cars, people have gotten spatially dumber.

People are extremely risk averse on this, which makes sense.

Money is a claim on valuable things, so people will do anything to get more of valuable things. Some may say that's just an abstracted form of biological hunger.

I don't think that's the point? Why did the doctors not, ahem, review the notes and take responsibility?

They did not come up with the ideas themselves, so they got them somewhere. Follow the source and all the citations show up. It must be a modern thing where online blogging randos pretend they are all geniuses.

Here's a list of MS software: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_software You cannot find a single one that was good, or better than whatever was the alternative at the time?

It really became a problem only with Windows RT attempting to merge mobile OS with desktop. All the non-sensical UX compromises are still from that. Later they abandoned consumerware after losing the mobile space but that's a different

Like every holiday sale? Costco and Amazon discount Apple products all the time, and of course there is EPP and student pricing.

Conversion is different at $1100 vs. $400 so it's not a straight 1:1 $167 vs $70; the beancounters will weight by the likelihood of getting the amount in the first place. You also have to consider the long-term value of converting, e.g

I can think of a few reasons: 1) Digital goods, so very little friction. 2) No liquidity locally so you go to the large market. 3) Selling large volume. 4) Some third party to verify payment when it's not cash. There are more and more

You already do it for music and TV shows. That's not cheap either.

eBay takes a 13%+ cut, then there's shipping, so you're looking at $300 after cost of business. If you're selling a lot, sure, capture that $100 difference. If you're selling one and dealing with buyers, you'll spen

They won't throw it into the shredder. They'll capture the residual by wholesaling it second-hand, same as with trade-in's.

First-party MSRP at that. What's a few % free loan discount in comparison to almost any other retail pricing out there that is periodically 10-15% off.

Apple card installment isn't allowed on EPP stores, right? And you lose credit card extended warranty coverage, which is worth 5% of purchase price easily.

This isn't making a C program. It's using C tools and assembly tools to make an executable.

That's exactly what they are doing. Out of all the civilian applications that AI capabilities have, why has this surfaced as a priority for demonstration? Probably because of money.

Why? The "one device" can be something portable like a Yubikey-like USB key, or for that matter, a smart phone, because people are already forced to use phones to do authentication codes, so it is kind of assumed a phone is always

It should have never been a cloud password manager play. It should be hardware device only, and tied to the device. One passkey on each hardware device.

by pishpash 2mo ago
Uh, if you set up a passkey it becomes the default almost always. Then on another device it'll pop up looking for it and look like login failure and you need to "try another way". That's alarming to anyone, not to mentio
