Sarcasm aside, most shoes are pretty bad for your feet.

Apple has a runtime system that looks a lot like smalltalk. Everything at that layer is dynamic. They needed a language that could seamlessly interact with that system.

Im not sure if I feel seen or accused. :)

There are wonderful parallels with Wilhelm II of Germany. It just takes one idiot at the top with no understanding of his own failings to undermine decades of careful diplomacy and policy.

The person you were responding to said that cyan feels like a completely different color to them, neither green nor blue. I had the same reaction when it gave me a color that I immediately identified as teal, and I learned my colors as a monolingual english speaker in Ohio.

Palantir’s entire business model is a GDPR violation, isn’t it?

Thank you for articulating this so succinctly.

Really? Wind and solar are cheaper. Electric cars and motorcycles are more fun to drive.

Fossil fuels are profitable for a small group of powerful people, and they spend vast amounts of money to spread falsehoods.

This is the way. You have to have some amount of flexibility in your plans.

The person you’re replying to is saying that in the several years the technological means to impersonate people at scale has become widely available, and because of this financial institutions are having to strengthen their security measures to defend against fraud.
