Both Facebook and Google provide customer support. I think people are just confused about who their actual customers are.

Hint: It's the advertisers.

No one would bat an eye at banning films or websites from schools that have the content that some of these books have. But because, for some reason, anything that is in text on paper form appears to be more "intellectual" and culturally valuable, it's viewed as a form of oppression.

I am not saying I support it, I just don't understand why books are put on a pedestal compared to all other forms of media.

My most used YouTube premium feature is pausing on my phone and picking up where I left off on my Apple TV. It's more than just ad free watching.

> but not all states (like Cali) honor that and may still charge you state income tax

Whoa, so before moving to a low tax country you should move to a state that is not insane for a while and then move abroad? Crazy.

All the tax law says that if they bring the money to the US, they have to pay US taxes. So they just don’t bring it to the US. There is no US law that requires you to move the money.

Well, exercism is a "not-for-profit organisation registered in the UK" according to the footer of their website.

Edit: It appears that their "not-for-profit" message in their footer is a bit misleading, as explained by those who replied to my comment.

CSV and PNG are not server protocols like CardDav, CalDav, and IMAP, they are file formats.

No, it’s because the CardDAV standard was not created with encryption in mind. It’s also why calendar and mail are not encrypted in iCloud.

Are they going to arrest Zuckerberg and Tim Cook next for the encryption in WhatsApp and iMessage?

Actually, looking at the credentials in 1Password for this bank, my issue was with the password field, so similar to USAA. Mobile had a 15 character limit.

At a Mexican bank, Banregio, there was a character limit to the username on mobile but not on web. So I originally had a username that was accepted at registration but not when I tried to log in on my phone and it wouldn’t allow me to input my entire username.

Edit: The issue was with the password field, not the username.

It’s available on Android and Samsung TVs.

They’ve updated the iPhone Xs to iOS 17 with new features and that phone is from 2018.

I believe the main issue with many US government projects is that they _don't_ care about profit. If they did, maybe we could have public transportation as good as that of Hong Kong[0]. This idea that pursuing profits as a public entity is not productive when it could benefit society as a whole does more harm than good.

> Some governments around the world did incentivise and even footed the bill for building public housing

I am not referring to building public housing. I am saying the government should build housing as if it were a for-profit company. Take those profits, and re-invest into building even _more_ housing. Don't try to sell to those in need, sell to those who are speculating on real estate and increase supply at the same time.

Why doesn't the government build and sell housing at a small profit? Here in Dubai, the largest housing construction companies are or were government owned. It's one of the ways the government can have zero income tax despite oil being less than 1% of its economy.

My only thought is that it's political, and some voters don't want their houses to lose value.

In order for it to work, you need as many people tumbling the same exact amount of crypto. If it’s self hosted, it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out that if two or three transactions went in, you only need to track the two or three transactions that come out.

> Because of the connection

Well, the article says it was because of the money of having to buy new equipment.

Literal rock stars destroy their instruments on set just for fun.

At least they are not leaving open job ads with no intention to hire like all the other companies.

The 256gb and 512gb models have 8gb of ram. The 1tb and 2tb models have 16gb. Not a fan of tying ram to storage.

How would this be privacy leaking? Wouldn't only the email viewer be able to see the result of using :visited?

It’s also really hard to deploy 188B efficiently into anything else other than stock buybacks.

folding@home was used in the “console wars” to justify one’s choice of the PS3 over the Xbox 360.

Was the cell processor in the PS3 really that efficient for this purpose?

For this reason, I enabled E2E encryption for iCloud. Sure, if you are very paranoid, you can choose not to trust Apple, but E2E encryption on iCloud is seamless, and I haven't noticed a difference since enabling it.

Tesla’s current valuation is pretty much thanks to him. His personality meme stocked the company to a valuation that made no sense.

My C-corp taxes took about half an hour with turbo tax (just software development contracting).

It really puzzles me what is so complicated about filing taxes as someone who only has employment income.

Most people get money back from the IRS. If anything, making tax returns optional for people with just employment income would mean the IRS would keep more money.

Vine had no where near as good of a recommendation algorithm as TikTok. Reddit for over a decade relied on self-curation and upvoting to determine what to show you.

TikTok curated content without the need for a user to do anything else than scroll. You can have a remarkably well personalized TikTok experience without liking, following, or saving any content.

They were the first ones to do it at scale. Before, you had to seek out the debauchery. TikTok is saying, don’t worry, we have hundreds of scrollable hours waiting for you, just keep scrolling.
