It is extremely reckless to allow protestors — to allow anyone — to take control of critical infrastructure, such as a drawbridge. This sets a dangerous precedent.

Because the laws exist as a deterrent against vandals etc., and everyone who gets caught breaking them has to be charged. Whether it gets prosecuted or resolved some other way is a separate matter. Plus, being arrested and charged provides the authority to help.

We Americans are quite aware of Queen Elizabeth's nickname from watching various dramatizations on TV. And most of us were absolutely shocked to hear the Sussexes' choice of name for their child. Seemed intentionally disrespectful to their family matriarch.

Studies show that the amount of time people actually take off with "unlimited PTO" is a fraction of what they used to take. Unlimited PTO is a scam that solely benefits the employer so they don't have to carry the liability of unpaid PTO on the books.

As a published author, I will just note that literary contracts always have clauses reducing royalties for books sold at high discounts, and for claw back of advances when the royalty account credits, after allowance for returns, don't meet the advance amount

Sad to see that PCC feels that free speech does not align with their mission etc. As a member, this makes me question PCC leadership’s motivations.

I suspect that Netflix will use the same accounting write down Discovery used when it bought HBO to devalue and jettison that "documentary" and cancel the contract with the Sussexes.

Not to mention that the main factor in play is the Islamic lunar calendar that makes the Hajj later each year — in 1996, it was in April, a much cooler month. Twenty years from now, it’ll be in October.

Sounds about right. Most sites, when you're leaving them to go to some other site, place an interstitial notification page. Otherwise, they could be found liable.
The surprising thing is that they're enabling this in the US.

Really bad idea that again favors city dwellers at the expense of everyone else. Plus, there’s the invasion of privacy that seems to be missed as well.

There are already so many ways to handle notifications in iOS. For example, scheduled summaries. Maybe you should try using what’s already there?

What’s changed is that the Hajj is occuring during summer. Because of the differences between the Islamic lunar calendar, and the solar year, the Hajj is later each year than the prior year. For example, in 1996, it was in April, a much cooler month. Climate change has nothing to

Sharing things? It's 2024. It's just as easy to share a link to stuff on Onedrive, Google Photos, Apple Photos on Android as it is on iOS. And the reverse. There's no difference. In the age of multiple clouds, no one needs to do device-device sharing anymore.

That’s so not true. It’s like advising someone to buy a 4k TV that has a 60Hz refresh rate rather than a 4k tv that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. And most will disable use of the 120Hz (motion smoothing) because except for sports, it makes tv content look bad.

Completely irrelevant. PPP were grants that had a repayment provision in the event the terms weren’t complied with. It’s also inaccurate to say that individual business owners benefited from PPP grants, since the money was used to maintain payroll and rehire laid off employees.

What different "contact method"? Because Google's proprietary E2EE encryption layer on top of RCS isn't available unless you use Google Messages (which Samsung doesn't), you have to use something like Signal, which is available for all devices.

that’ s an issue with the power bank, not the phone. The power banks I use all have a setting you have to make sure is enabled so that they charge the devices, not the other way around. Learned about that years ago with my Samsung Note 9. Try again.

Trying to understand what you think is so impressive? My iPhone 14 Pro Max’s Geekbench score was 2633 and 6796. That single core 2295 pales in comparison to the 2633 A16 and I’d expect an 8 core chip to be 33% faster just because of the core count, but it’s only 11%?
