Poor guy didn't read about Adam and Eve.

How does that correlate with an average, current IQ of 85?

No, what I'm saying is that the article makes it sound like a boss will fire you for being oblivious about your diagnosis and your illness. Instead, I think that the job needs to be done, and if you aren't able to for whatever the reason is the boss is going to have to find a replacement for you.

If I struggle with timeliness, you’re going to think I don’t care about my job. If I forget something, you might just conclude I’m dumb.

If you struggle with timeliness or forget about things frequently I don't care what the reason is, you are out anyway. If I needed things done on time, it wouldn't matter to me if you were late frequently because you are careless or because you have an illness.

Their visual look hasn't changed at all since their inception.

I don't like that you are suggesting that the visual look must change. Nothing is wrong with leaving things the way they are.

They don't have discoverability.

What does this mean? Suggested posts and authors, which are nothing but thinly-veiled ads so you stay in the page? Good that they don't have those.

It would sound plausible if you are American I guess.

It's impossible to make people vote to give themselves less money.

That's right, I don't.

Good thing about cars and houses is that you can pay some amount officially and then pay more money under the table.

A vehicle, a house...

Another one for the pile of "died suddenly"

I can't believe that a website that is practically static goes down like this.

Quite literally yes. It would've killed GreaseMonkey userscripts and such

I don't want to go to a gas station every week.

But... you'd rather charge every time you use it? And what if you run out of energy in the middle of a trip?

I don't want to have to take my car in for tune-ups every year.

What makes you think that electric cars don't need tune-ups?

We shouldn't switch to battery-powered vehicles until they can replace our current ICE vehicles.

I think you misunderstood my answer. Using my analogy, this is like forcing the supermarket to give me a choice: pay for groceries or take them for free. This means the supermarket is forced to close because most people will take them for free.

That's precisely what I'm saying. I am an adult, and if I want to pay for a service with MY data, I should be able to consent to that. I can't, so this regulation doesn't respect me and my rights.

EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms.

In the context of apps like Facebook or Instagram, which make money by tracking us to show us personalised ads, this is like saying that it is illegal for supermarkets to charge us for groceries, even if customers wanted to pay for them. What happens next? The supermarket closes, evidently. And this is a win for whom? Not the supermarket, and not the clients. Everybody loses.

If they can't show good ads in Europe, I assume that they will lose money and eventually have to close down here.

I think that users have a right to know what happens to their data. But this is not a consent or information screen, this is the end of it. Europe tells us they do this for our own good, so we can own our data, but then they make it illegal for us to exchange our data for someone's service. Basically they think they know better than us what to do with our data: it is the opposite of freedom.

Hopefully this will teach the users to vote better. Oh wait, we can't elect EU officials directly.

When it becomes clear to him that you won't pay the 50% increase, he'll probably offer to give you the code for the price you agreed on before. Don't fall in that trap because if you pay first he won't give you the code until you pay for the increase as well.

I have a "clean" (no addons at all) Chrome profile for web development purposes.

And the day the "master" account gets suspended or compromised you lose access to 10 other accounts. No thanks.

If you spend enough time in /g/ you will hear of everything.

Popularity I assume - people will be less hesitant to download an apk file from github, even if being on github doesn't really make it trustable in practical terms.

I know we are not supposed to complain about form but geez are those carousels terrible. They move by themselves, their height changes so you end up clicking the image instead of the arrows, etc.

Don't update php and freeze the files and the database so they can't be hacked.

Ah, three strikes law. Well sentenced then. Some don't belong in society.

11 years for stealing a pizza? Show me.

Everything Sam Bankman-Fried is doing is in singular pursuit of not going to jail

That's weird-shouldn't he be doing everything that's possible to go to jail? Everybody would like to go to jail.

I use Windows instead of macOS precisely because I can run all of my software since they don't deprecate stuff that old applications use.

Put this in your /etc/hosts file and it should work (I don't know if it does as I don't have ipv6)
