I always enjoy the vague yet threatening online comment. I'm of the opinion that this is from one of the better bot farms who have learned if you make people nervous, you can control their choices.
That's because there's no monetary reason for the phone company to listen in but Facebook is all about listening and recording.
This is very cool. I moved our family to signal, but this looks better. I'll be trying it out for sure.
So when you say "without any knowledge" you meant, you picked a topic you didn't understand, researched it thoroughly, then made the post?
So you didn't weeks/months becoming an expert before making the post?
Then it's not spam.
I'd suggest that any article written "without any knowledge of the topic" is of zero value. I'd define spam as zero value posts/messages. Ergo, it's spam. Not sure how you can argue it isn't.
Not attacking you, I'm just interested in your defence of this sort of thing
I find it interesting that everytime something like this comes up: a person (usually female) gets fired from a tech firm and alleges abuse and toxic work place, the response from the Hacker News crowd is is heavily negative (to the person) and tries to say the person is crazy/overly sensitive/hysterical.
I'm not saying this specific person is right, but if the argument in the comments of "if everyone you work with is a moron, then maybe the problem is you" is true (and I think it can be) then we must consider that some of these stories are true and some people (and it appears to be often women) are being treated abysmally at work.
If Apple can scan people's photos (just in case there's something nasty there) then they should welcome government investigation of their workplaces (just in case).
Isn't the rule that the answer to any headline that asks a yes/no question is always no?
I hate cool services that won't let me in because they are invite only and there's no way to get one
As I understand it, in Canada, having a picture of your child in a bathtub is child porn. So I can see this going horribly wrong.
On my ancient and overloaded S8, the camera loads in under a second after double tapping power.
Battery lasts all day (and it's 4 years old). Doesn't turn on when it's in my pocket.
These anecdotal "I switched to x and its waaay better" things always reek of bias.
That a 2017 phone is slower than a 2018 phone is obvious - plus you'd need to reset the s7 to factory defaults for fair(er) comparison.
I do support on iPhones (not an Apple employee) and I've never experienced the the vaunted "this is so much better" moment.
Rather than splitting by gender it should be split by sex, or birth sex, if you prefer.
The idea that some of "a"is bad means that some of "b" must be good is illogical.
Why don't plants fall into your "things that have an essence" category? They are alive. They communicate and work together.
How do you cover costs if 100% of the pool is paid out?
It seems like you need to take the costs out of the pool first.
The right says "all of us are together, and we have to keep those guys out."
The left says "we're all together, but we should convince everyone to come to our side."
FUD and tribalism are easier to win with.
FB and Twitter didn't deplatform Trump because he was a nasty bastard who was inciting revolt. They did it because the Democrats won and they want to suck up.
Isn't it a bad idea to build these in a corrosive environment like the ocean? Is there a reason, other than NIMBY to put them in the ocean?
We force people to wear seatbelts. We don't let them buy some drugs. We can make certain food illegal.
Post stomach cancer, I can't eat sugar without becoming ill. So I stopped. Regular fruits are now very sweet, and a chocolate bar is inedible.
On mobile. I like the layout and font size. Looks like something I'd use daily.
You pick. I'd say recent is 25 years, but whatever you feel is fair is fine with me.
What genocide has Canada committed recently?
+1 for ventoy. Install it on a flash drive and copy bootable ISOs to the drive and you're done.
Hard pass on a cancer testing device that stores and processes my data on the company's server or their rented cloud storage.
This could be done locally with current phone or PC tech.
I know "cloud" and "AI" and "machine learning" are Pavlovian signals to venture capitalists, but come on.
I'm not sure what the point is? Am I coding? Writing a novel?
I can get the first letter of a word? Why do I want to, as a creative writer?
New England Patriots?
I'm concerned about this. Google is eating up the education market. Not sure if there are alternatives, but my local school board has gone Google for remote learning.
So Google is now spying on children and knows how well they do in school.
To understand your position, you're saying that if you take a job with a company, you must either take on the company's politics and ethics or leave?
There's no room for trying to improve a company from the inside?
Lol. He's been manipulating the stock market for gain since he took power.
Buy puts. Threaten a trade war on Twitter. Profit.
Buy calls. Cancel the trade war on Twitter. Profit.
Actually, it means you aren't paying your share for the services provided by the public.
The only people who think that tax avoidance is a good thing are the unethical rich and the American embarrassed millionaires who've been convinced to vote against their own best interests.
