It’s only public handles (usernames)

They also tried to buy Snapchat but their bid was rejected.

Force touch works on the latest iPhones, except for the XR

I agree with you that upgrading usually means worse battery life, but iOS 12 was an exception to this I believe.

In major metros, yes.

They’ll probably sue them.

I think you mean the Ethiopian airlines case, not Egyptian.

Maybe because that’s just you, a unique individual.

For a different unique case, such as someone who has Hep C, the utility value for the medicine could literally be everything for the person.

So, if we average the utility value for a whole population, the utility value would actually be pretty high, especially if a lot of people have Hep C.

Time to leave I guess?

Facebook will not change anything until it is forced to. It simply is in their best interest to disregard their users privacy just like they currently are doing.

Really unfair to discredit Microsoft from anything but the web browsers issue. They massively pushed the idea of personal computers, probably more than any other company in history.

I think you should watch the Handmaid’s Tale; it will make you never suggest your latter suggestion again :)

Although I prefer iPhones, I don’t think any American manafacturer is not in the pocket of the NSA.

I still have the stepped bar graph for some reason.

So no one actually did their due diligence before announcing the product. I’m quite shocked that a ~$6 billion company can behave this way.

Thanks for these. I always want to search in hn specifically. This will be so helpful.

It’s always fascinating to see how innovative ancient Egypt was. This makes me identify with them as normal people that share the same feelings with us. They dreamt like us and imagined stuff like us. I wish I could go back in time and live there for a while.

Do you have a source for this? Or is this just personal experience?

It’s a feature for the company creating the lock-in, and a bug for the users.

I think getting paid (preferably well) is always one of the reasons why people work for any company, including startups.

I think she offers a fresh perspective in American politics. I hope she continues to do so in the future.

Can you mention an example of Chinese content that’s not accessible?

If Linux survives that long I will be very happy. It always reminds me of how great collaboration between humans can be :)

The Egyptian presence in Yemen is simulated at best [0]. They have no troops there, they haven't fired a single bullet and nobody has even seen them after the first few days. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_armed_groups_in_the_Ye...

I'm so happy something like this exists. I absolutely love TRON and anything that relates to it. I was really sad that Disney didn't push for a third movie.

This is a fantastic idea. With some MOOCs, I tend to procrastinate heavily, so I hope societal pressure from a study buddy would help me avoid that :)

Makes me think about the quote ‘It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!’ Of course they don’t care about anything but profit and growth because it’s what makes them richer.

Thanks for this. I assumed anyone that visits HN knows what Google does, especially after the whistleblowing and revelations in the past few years. I agree that it would’ve been better for me to add a few citations or proof, so here’s [0] the first search result when searching for google+surveillance on DDG.

I believe Google is a surveillance company, and I like to think that anything they do has something to do with that. I would love someone to prove me wrong though, because what they're doing is so dystopian.

If someone is really close to me, I don't mind them tagging me in stuff like that. But if we're just acquaintances, I hate it.
