> It was incontrovertibly approved as it is only installable via MDM.

Only if this his standard govt issued phone. It's also been shown they are also using their own personal phones. The could easily be using unapproved phones some random DOGE'er bought gave them with an MDM setup, without any real oversight.

> I don't really want to damage strangers' property. I don't own any car as I just take public transportation, so I can't really say I'm "boycotting" Tesla any more than any other brand.

Divest of Tesla. In a 401k move from index funds to other funds without or less TSLA. Or invest in inverse EFTs that essentially short Tesla - TSLS, TSLQ, and TSLZ. Not buying a Tesla or torching a Cybertruck are not the only options.

Microsoft netted about $550 million from that $150 million investment in Apple.

The liability is usually with the card issuer (bank), unless the merchant fails to meet liability shift requirements - like processes a card via the manually entered numbers or magstripe, rather than the chip in the card if the terminal supports it.

This the way card networks have encouraged migration to systems that support tokens and cryptograms to limit fraud.

Its nearly 75% depending on how you count. See May 2020 report: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/ccrb/downloads/pdf/policy_pdf/mo...

Of the requests made, about 26% are resolved in 30 days or less. 46% requests still outstanding after 90 days.

So yes, its pretty clear NYPD delays or doesnt respond to requests for body camera footage.

You can pontificate that its one rogue complainant or you can check the data because its right there and shows race, age and gender of the complainant. The very first page of data shows one sergeant with 25 complaints composed of atleast 11 complainants over 5 years.

There are plenty of other payment methods than cash that have guards against being lost/stolen or the other problems with handling cash, but also dont have the high cost of interchange that funds credit card rewards.

Merchants take credit cards to avoid losing a purchase. Cards have such a high volume that consumers expect it and some small portion will skip a purchase if its not an option. But merchants would much prefer you pay with a store card, debit card or one of many other payment methods that dont have the same (2-3%) cost that credit cards do.

The vast majority of that fee that merchants pay goes to the bank, not Visa or Mastercard. And a vast majority of what the bank gets in that fee goes back out to the card owner in the form of rewards. You see merchant fees of 1-2% because that is pretty close to typical rewards paid out on credit cards.

Their leaders may not be well known, but they spend an absolutely massive amount of money promoting their brands. They are extremely recognizable.

Mastercard so much so that the recently removed their name from their logo as its nolonger needed.

Merchants certainly "notice" and take any opportunity to use an alternative to the card networks. They only accept it because they must to avoid losing a purchase. They would rather customers pay in almost any other form due to interchange costs.

When talking to big merchants about any new payment product, the first question you will hear is often "so, how does this lower my interchange cost?"

Yes, it is legal in the US. Federal law allows it - P.R. 91-36 (FCC 93-410), though New York law attempts to make it illegal to do in your car: https://codes.findlaw.com/ny/vehicle-and-traffic-law/vat-sec...

That hidden cost is subsidized by the other customers charged the same price but that pay cash, or via debit card rather than credit card, or even with a credit card with lower rewards than yours.

Google Easter has a nice little easter egg when you search for for "conway’s game of life".

The $2 million doesn't have to sit around for 20 years in a non-interest bearing checking account. Put $1.5million in a 5 year CD and get another ~$50k/year. Give them other maintenance work to do while they are at the school turning on and off the heat, and it becomes more viable.

The Galaxy S6 and a bunch of others, including some HTC Droids, 8X and others, LG G3, many Lumia devices, Blackberry Z30 and Classic. But yes, not the iPhone.

He did appear on the Polymer dev mailing list last week to pick a bit of a fight about how web components are/are-not compatible with other frameworks: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/polymer-dev/Ev7sO_BB...

They've released preview documentation of a design centered around an unreleased OS and you are upset they don't have Google implementations in all the other non-google UI frameworks already?

Its early days, they're clearly doing this first with Android L, Web Components (polymer-project.org) and Angular (material.angularjs.org).

And you're upset the implementation for Bootstrap is not done by Google? Boo hoo.

Material design is more than just the colors, shadows and spacing, its also the animations and interactions.

This CSS framework fails to replicate things like "ink" that fills an element with a tap color based on where in that element you tapped.

Or the way that a block of color slides across the input when you focus it and the placeholder slides up and scales down to turn into a label.

Material design is not a CSS theme, it requires many other interaction and animation aspects that the Polymer project is building out with their paper-* components.

> The flag to enable the built in mobile hotspot feature of your phone's os is enabled by default when you choose [..] the mobile share plan on AT&T.

Not if that device is a Nexus 7 tablet.

ATT specifically made Google turn off hotspot access from the tablet, while it works with the same SIM in a phone. Or with a TMO SIM in the same device.

Doesn't work in Chrome on a tablet. Start drawing zoomed to some a flipped view of the backside and there is no space bar to tap without a text field.

Hacks for desktop only is understandable but increasingly a niche area to target first.

esc-. is my biggest miss as well. There are discussions on this but still havent been able to fix it on osx in iterm2 myself. Did get option-. to work for now but esc-. has 20+ years of pure reflex action burned into my brain.
