Their privacy policy includes a provision that they can use the cameras and GPS to infer things such as sexual orientation, so yeah.

They've already started: Tweet by @kamalahq with crowd size comparison

She also made calls for ceasefire back in March, which indicates to me that she would be at least a fair bit left of Biden

I used to be principled like you, but this man has the potential to cause death and destruction on a scale so unfathomably larger than one person. Would I prefer he face justice? Absolutely. But at some point "not wishing death on someone" flies in the face of the greater good of humanity

Some Left Winger sees a Right Winger say something they don't like. The Left Winger can't counter it

Many right wing positions are very easy to counter with scientific evidence– climate change, crime rates, public health policy, social programs...

So if you think the "Left Winger" can't counter it.. do you not consider evidence-based arguments to be legitimate?

You could have at least read the article before posting it. Nowhere does it say that, and the article goes into quite a bit of detail on how the bacteria travel. Or is that too much to ask?

Trump literally used the word Palestinian as a derogatory insult in the debate, if that's not enough for you to get the hint you are beyond help my guy

There are unequivocable monsters in our society that should be exterminated

And who gets to decide who falls under that? If you ask former (and possibly future) president Trump, the left is "vermin" and immigrants "poison the blood"; his pick for VP is happy to sign off on progressives being called "unhuman". Should these groups – in their view unequivocable monsters – be exterminated?

This article is very outdated and nowadays you can actually encrypt your entire iCloud and be the only key holder. You will get multiple strong warnings in the UI about the possibility of losing access to your account.

ADP info screen

If you read the linked article you will find that exterior cameras feeds are plenty invasive enough.

If you enable "Advanced Data Protection" (E2EE for your entire iCloud) Apple tells you they will not have the keys and you're on your own if you lose access to all devices that hold them (or forget their passwords, respectively). This feature was introduced last year.

I mean, in 2012 they didn't even have 2FA yet. Also IIRC they haven't started really leaning into the privacy angle until maybe around 2019-20 publicly, and from there it probably wasn't the highest priority item for the security team. Not excusing how long it took, but they are a business after all and with how scary the warnings around ADP are I doubt it's a very marketable feature with a lot of reach.

I'm 6'5 but I'm also German. Is that ok?

I don't think they have interior cameras (although other manufacturers do), but the front and backup camera feeds provide plenty of information as well.

Then there's also this, if you need any more reason to be concerned.

That is your standard, theirs is different. So how do you decide which is right?

Okay, and they would argue that being progressive is never "right". You refuse to acknowledge the fundamental flaw in your reasoning, which is that you are assuming a moral baseline that – while I'm sure is reasonable – simply not enough people share for it to be a given.

I suppose that's fair, but if you e.g. make a compelling counterpoint and the other person fixates on one small detail to derail the conversation, I think the people you can realistically reach will already be on your side, and anyone who wants to draw some kind of false equivalence between your respective positions wasn't going to be convinced anyways.

It's more nuanced than that of course, but in my experience that's generally the way these things play out as the thread gets longer.

IntelliJ finds most uses in my experience unless you're doing something weird with reflection or similar. And if it's a public facing API only used by the library's consumers..– it should be used in tests at the very least! Especially if it's prone to regressions like the comment suggests

Mmh, I see what you mean. Fair enough!

If someone is literally arguing in bad faith, what's the point in engaging with them? There's no way to persuade someone who doesn't actually care about what they're saying in the first place.

Actually, the GDPR applies to EU citizens no matter where they are so you shouldn't have to make your request from the EU for them to have to believe it

Imagine telling Palestinian civilians "maybe you live, maybe you don't, it's not a negotiation"

disgusting

Windows Recall, the screengrabber they were about to release with an unencrypted database as an opt-out feature.

The artists I like don't put out CDs with their music so no.

Which is what the original commenter already indicated they think as well.

Imagine you have to choose a health insurance company to be insured with like you choose a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, etc). Many doctors (shops) only accept certain insurance providers (cards) due to fees and other regulations.

The problem described in this article is when your insurance lists doctors that you can go to that will accept your insurance, but most of them have gone out of business or actually don't accept your particular insurance anymore.

Not to mention the law firm they hired advertises anti-union action, so that should tell you whether they can be trusted to be fair to workers..

Apple Music allows you to add arbitrary audio files to your cloud-synced library. I believe it will even generate streaming revenue for the artist if the file is recognized to also be in the catalog of iTunes Match (but I'm not sure on that one).

So you're using the Palestinian genocide as pretense to further an agenda completely unrelated to it, got it. If you actually cared, you would understand how effective this kind of dehumanization is in generating support for the murder of a people.

..what? At least with Java Streams or Kotlin Sequences, they absolutely abort early with something like .filter().first().

...what? How do you expect them to demonstrate their intelligence within the span of a single comment, without telling you? This "comeback" doesn't work if their intelligence constitutes actually relevant context.
