Re:Cameras Could Replace Car Mirrors? on Thursday October 10, 2019 @08:33AM (#21213673)
I'm not against all those cameras, nor am I rejecting evolution. I just think that traditional mirrors are doing the job well enough for this to be a question now.

I've never driven one without regular mirrors, which is the point here. I'm not saying that it's not a nice extra to have, but it shouldn't replace anything.
Re:Why older people should be allowed to change their legal age on Thursday October 10, 2019 @06:01AM (#21212666)
I feel that this is an odd way to deal with the problem. What about trying to fight age-based discrimination, among many other types of discrimination all-together? That's what they should be trying to change, not coming up with yet another way to easily commit frauds in so many different fields.

My only question is: why? I mean, those are going to be so much more expensive to produce, less reliable and harder to replace. There are some upsides regarding overall visibility, but I think that it's one of those cases in which the ups don't make up for the downs.
Re:China and Taiwan Clash over Wikipedia Edits on Wednesday October 09, 2019 @04:38AM (#21201230)
I'm surprised this doesn't happen way more often with many other pages. But we were all warned not to take Wikipedia as a single source of credible information. If bold statements or dubious information is not properly linked to credible sources (and even then...), don't take it as 100% true.
It sounded sketchy from the moment they asked for a pin code that they sent to your phone. It's easier to talk from the outside, but that should always be a red flag. What exactly would they be confirming by sending a PIN to the same number they were already contacting?

But that's a great heads up. Phishing is not just about obviously fake e-mails to hotmail accounts.

There are proved benefits of using PWAs in specific situations, but it's not near the wonderland that companies like Google are making it seem.

I believe that they have secured a place in mobile development and are very worth considering at this point, but it's very soon to say they're a good solution for everyone.
