Don't forget that Hamas has been supported by Netanyahu in the past because they are a useful tool to prevent a longer standing peace...

That's not what that page is saying. It's terrifying enough that it's a tie, there's no need to make up fake polling information.

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

They're saying developers dislike having to review other code that's unfamiliar to them, not having their code reviewed.

because the earth is big and you don't have a hard drive big enough to store it locally?

Yeah..? That's my point

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 bet this is going to be some sort of gotcha about how people didn't feel the need to "deprogram an extremist liberal", so obviously everyone is out to get the poor poor conservatives who just want to be vile in peace

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?

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

Your reply refers to a "junior who is nervous" and "how the sausage is made", which makes no sense in the context of someone who just has to review code

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?

you have what i would consider consistently bad takes on this subject

Ah, just saw a comment from OP claiming that Israel was doing "everything possible" to prevent civilian casualties, so yeah, bad take puts it pretty well. What bad faith bs

In Germany, supermarkets typically post product recalls right on the doors or over the shelves of the section that has the affected products. I guess if you bought something you might be less likely to go down that aisle again next time and come across the sign, but (barring a big empty space at the entrance) I think that's the most reasonable place for them to be

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

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.

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

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

According to the keynote at least, the integration is literally just Siri offering to defer to ChatGPT for some requests. Basically a more advanced version of "here's what I found on the web" if it doesn't know what to do otherwise.

Funnily enough, Apple isn't even paying OpenAI for that, they're literally saying it's for exposure.

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.

They're not super common. I don't see one every single time I go grocery shopping, though I would say typically there are maybe one or two recalls posted somewhere in the store at a time. Most I've seen at once is four, maybe a year or so ago, but they also keep the signs up for a few weeks so they didn't happen all at once.

They do always have either a picture of the product or at least the name prominently placed, so you can glance at it to see whether it's about something you might have bought.

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.

Mmh, I see what you mean. Fair enough!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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

  • yellow
  • male
  • round face, beard, brown hair, mid 20s (I think probably some internet-famous person whose name I don't remember)
  • small plastic ball filled with air
  • a simple square table with a natural wood top and legs

That was my first thought. But then (before reading the questions) I also imagined other similar scenarios like with a soccer ball and my desk at work, lol.

My experience with this experiment was kind of like when they play memory flashbacks in movies, I could see the ball being pushed and falling, but with jump cuts and the timing was off. Detail-wise I'd say it was kinda like what you got from AI image generation when Dall-E first came out two-ish years ago.

I don't think I have the most visual imagination out there but if aphantasia is one end of the scale I'm pretty far to the other side.
