To be honest I'd rather live in the world where people have an overabundance of care for each other rather than the world where people disregard the well-being of others entirely.

Of course it's not binary, and it shouldn't be binary... but comments like this are hellbent on making it that way. I understand why you feel this way, but the hyperbole doesn't help anyone.

I imagine the FBI strongly considers scale and intent. Troy Hunt is very obviously not reselling accounts, for example.

Though keep in mind that the FBI can go after whoever they want, sometimes without reason at all.

Apple is moving in the opposite direction in macOS, so I wouldn't hold my breath on them choosing to do this whatsoever. Sideloading goes against their entire iOS app philosophy.

This would also mean that Facebook would start sideloading and attempt to circumvent any of the tracking/privacy enhancements they've built in to iOS.

Doesn't Vox consider articles living artifacts and regularly change them as they become more informed? More like a wiki that's meant to be highly relevant in search results?

I'm not saying this is right or wrong, but it's their self-inflicted mode of operation.

This was my interpretation too, she's seeking reassurance from her mother... who says she shouldn't care, but she doesn't seem satisfied

>Surprisingly that "absolutely final" position wasn't that final anymore

I've been in this position a couple times with pay raises... and to be honest once this happens the job is more or less dead for me anyway.

To only pay me what I asked because I'm leaving absolutely obliterates my trust.

Some people have been working with Photoshop for decades, it's integrated into industry wide workflows. For me some complex 4-key shortcuts (the legacy save for web claw) are second nature. It's the devil we know very very well.

>And as a predatory animal, the fact that something "needs to die" for me to feed doesn't factor into the equation.

I'm having a hard time following this... are you saying that you don't think about the reality of killing animals for food because of some biological mechanism outside of your control?

What's the recourse from the student here? submit your data to third parties or fail? Inevitable lawsuit fuel?

serious question: has humanity produced any net gains for the environment or any not-human-centric ecosystem?

To my knowledge the track record of things we've improved for humans will be much longer... so I'm not sure that's a great comparison to make here!

That was already known, it's an included spec when you're buying an SSD and already written into the warranties... this is an additional warning for this use case:

>“If users use our SSDs for mining/farming and other abnormal operations, the data writing volume is much higher than the standard for daily use, and the SSD will slow down or get damaged due to excessive data writing volume. Due to the tests carried out, the damages are qualitative according to the test results, and that is why according to the quality assurance standards of our SSDs, we have the right to refuse to provide warranty services. The right of final interpretation belongs to the company."

They're specifically calling out "standard for daily use"...

One alternative explanation is that maybe farmers were just wearing them out quickly and playing naive to claim the warranty?

That sounds like what they're saying. I imagine when they determine warranties they're looking at what they estimate to be "normal" use? Reading/writing to capacity 24/7 certainly creates a lot of heat for a long time.

I'd be vegan if not for cheese, so I hope they can catch up with the beef replacements (which I am 100% happy with at this point). IMO they're not there yet, but are getting closer.

The old "we need to continue destroying the ecosystem because we created unforeseen problems by destroying the ecosystem"

So I guess if you swing it the other way, the popular rhetoric around drugs is that they'd be better off legal and heavily regulated.

Pro-drug proponents are all for this. Why are pro-gun proponents against more regulation, especially lobbyists?

Unorganized individuals from twitter contacting your employer isn't harassment. If it is the implications would be scary the other way around: would you punish someone who pointed out a problem that happened to become popular on a social network?

Much of NYC is SO dense that it seems absurd that anyone, even police, should be able to fire a gun there. It's almost impossible to do safely in any context.

I understand that people feel compelled to protect constitutional rights, but it often seems to defy some situational realities of the modern world? Are we really expected to forever carry this rule from a time when there were fewer people in the entire country than a single borough in a modern city?

I'd wager that Canada has/had many fewer malls than USA (per capita). Even many small nowhere cities would have a mall.

After living in various parts of Europe for a few years and coming back, the US way of doing it seems mind-boggingly wasteful. Huge swaths of our country are long roads that lead to massive parking lots.

And of course we're obese, many people couldn't walk to accomplish errands if they wanted to.

Many (like myself) also don't realize how far away they live from areas with great nighttime viewing conditions (a 3-4 hour drive for me).

:(

It seems odd to think that their first attempt at this, which largely consists of small consumer-level devices with little to no active cooling, is the best they're going to do.

Not to mention that they've already been dominating mobile SOC performance for half a decade as well.

There's no indication that they couldn't take on the pro market. They've clearly got the talent in place. It's likely that the market size is a bigger factor than capability.

This is in no way related to their financial struggles.

The USPS was breaking even regularly (phenomenal considering what they do) until they were forced to save up funding for 75 years of pensions within a 10 year span. Not only that, but they have to exclusively rely on the US Treasuries to fund the retiree medial fund, so it's more expensive out of the gate.

So they're doing more for their employees, paying more for it, and are required to do so in a shorter amount of time than just about any private company out there.

I'd be surprised if this covert program cost more than 1% of what the pension fund does.

When people make comments like this do they seriously think providing a single example tears down the concept of systemic issues?

This is a "it snowed today, so global warming doesn't exist" type of comment.

Early on in my career it was nearly impossible to have psychological safety because I was constantly worried I'd be risking my physical safety if I did anything that could put my job at risk.

I attribute a lot of this to weak social safety nets and at-will employment in the US. I constantly feared that I would be fired for some statement, personality clash, or mistake (or for no reason at all, which is entirely legal)... so I kept my head down and was lightly abused (frequent overtime without pay, tolerating verbal abuse, etc).

I was living paycheck to paycheck and without a job I'd rapidly lose housing and healthcare. It took me nearly a decade to attain financial security while racking up psychological damage.

Yeah I use other tools for passwords, etc and turn off a lot (though not history! that's serious business)

I also use a pihole to block ads and trackers more completely, but I do like having an additional browser-level feature with "enhanced tracking protection"[1] – if it did nothing else, I like simply having the list of attempted-tracker on every site easily available at all times.

This guy seems overly angry and judgemental about something he could just talk to his neighbor about.

Also seems like some minor changes could avoid the issue entirely. I live in a large building amongst other large buildings and depending on which way the wind is blowing I can see over 100 wifi access points, not to mention devices.
