Scalping is not a serious risk with digital goods. When the company can sell an infinite number of licenses, there is zero risk of a third party coming in and buying up a significant fraction of the capacity and overcharging people.

Only if you have cold to retain...

Just get the crypto bros involved. Track the license using blockchain. Should allow transferal of the license without allowing endless duplication.

It is a common phrase and has been for a very long time though has increased over the last 6 years or so.

So, the exactly same as the USA then.

They very much aren't good enough yet. I'm a highly technical user and have had to move to using MDM tools to actually have something that works reliably.

Dodged that bullet. Heard Tim Cook's comments and decided to pull the trigger on the machine I was debating as I didn't think Gruber was right on them waiting until new models to change prices.

Not really a serious argument when you are accessing a Google product. Sure, don't want to interact with Google? Don't interact with Google, but logging into Google workspaces with Firefox definitely isn't protecting your data from Google.

Mail.app's search is completely and utterly broken in my experience on Macs and on iPhones.

I've heard good things about it, for sure, but I'd argue that it isn't really an Email client. It is a Gmail client as it doesn't work with anything else. Fastmail is in the same bucket, but it is part of my contention about there not being good Email apps generally.

It hasn't made a significant contribution because of panic after the various accidents and the "environmentalists" deciding to advocate against it when it was the clearest path to accomplishing their stated goals.

How much do those batteries cost and can they supply power for multiple days or a season if your renewable sources aren't providing like normal?

Not to mention the environmental damage from producing and disposing of batteries.

Got an example of a well-implemented natice app for email? I'm bugged by some bugs with the Fastmail app, but have generally had a better experience with it than any other client I've tried. Search in particular is far better on the Fastmail app.

I like mise a lot, but only use it for project specific tool management, JDK versions, etc.

I tried to use it for system wide things, but found it didn't work as well for me with things that I wanted to just be tools where I didn't care what specific version it was as long as it was more or less current, Helix, NeoVim, RipGrep, etc.

Not American as much as it is "corporatese".

... I'm not sure what part of "If you extend that logic to the world" you didn't understand.

If you extend that logic to the world, is it malpractice to teach anything before Mandarin or Hindi?

Not actually science until you can test it.

I mean, I don't think we are living in a simulation, but even if we were, there is no reason to believe that simulating something inside of a simulation is going to prove anything about the outer simulation.

I think we have different definitions of "emergency" if a text message that they may or may not see any time soon is an acceptable solution.

If it is an actual emergency, I need to know that they have received the communication in real time. I'm never leaving someone a voicemail in an emergency situation.

Sure, let me know when any of these imaginary physics is useful for predicting anything that can be observed.

Simulating it on a computer, even a "quantum computer", is not the same as testing it against actual reality.

Please enlighten us how purely theoretical mathematical constructs, that are impossible to test, help us understand anything about our universe.

Why are we talking about voicemails in the context of emergencies? If it was an emergency, I'm calling every number I have for someone until they pickup or enough time has passed that I write them off as a flake and find the next person on the list who might be able to help with whatever it is.

I will make use of Apple's AI writing tools to check my grammer and spelling before hitting send on more important messages, but that is about all the "polishing" I let it do. It always wants to change how I write, which isn't that helpful.

Part of the argument is that you can only know what you experience. But, if this is a simulation, "you" could be a program running on a computer and your every experience is just piped directly into your consciousness without any underlying physical reality. You might even not be interacting with other people in the simulation, it could be just you and everything else is simulated without being similar to whatever existence you have.

I don't agree with this argument, but it circulates occasionally.

Never said they couldn't withdrawal their support?

If you actually look at the data, that "study" assigned a lot of really unclear or marginal cases to "right wing". They also didn't count a lot of obvious left wing political violence as "left wing".

Is it okay to smear pretty normal people as Nazis for no good reason?

Benefit of being one of the owners/cofounders. If you don’t like your bosses’s opinions, you are free to work somewhere else.
