Idk about the iPad Pro but on iPhones with no 3D Touch there simply is no way to clear all notifications on iOS 11

There will never be hope to web apps compared to native apps.

Where do you get those? I was thinking Amazon but I fear those are just placebos. You know, all they sell is fake…
The title makes it sound like she’s some random Joe. Random Joes don’t have Wikipedia entries.
So it’s not “a librarian”, but someone with lots of money, education, connections, time...
Re:Researchers find IQ scores dropping since the 1970s on Wednesday June 13, 2018 @10:10AM (#17303180)
In TFA it says this drop in IQ was detected because of tests done to people who sign up to the military. I’m talking about how there are more and more immigrants joining the military here as years pass and that if in Norway the same is happening it’s normal that IQ is dropping as I expect immigrants to have a lower IQ than natives.

I don’t know about Norway, but here in Spain the % of people who sign up to the military who are immigrants has been steadily increasing these decades, so a drop in IQ does not surprise me at all.

That’s what the intro to the movie Idiocracy says :P
Anybody who uses that narrative as a point against men is stupid. Men were made to fight. We would be cavemen still if it weren’t for the competitiveness of males.
Same here in Spain. Utterly retarded.

Of course the API key is hardcoded... how else would the app contact the server?
Not really. Saying for example that the holocaust didn’t happen can very well land you in prison in many EU countries.
No because European law does not allow them to do that. If you zero rate YouTube you have to zero rate all video streaming sites, for example.

I’m sure they have telemetry and know that almost nobody leaves hundreds of tabs open.

When you tell me you open thousands of tabs, I wonder if you’re just stress testing the browser. I expect software not to work well when I stress test it.

Yes, paying extra to get unlimited traffic to certain services is good. It’s good there’s choice.

Firefox is more usable and performs better than Chrome? You can’t be serious…
As a European: he’s right. You’ll love zero-rating. I do. :-)

Count me in. I never watch HD video, which is a huge % of all the traffic of every ISP. I wish I could pay less money for an internet connection that was cheaper in exchange for not being able to watch HD video.

Nah, I doubt it. It will just take a few cases for people to give up on antivaxing.
