In normal countries, the government provides you healthcare, no matter what your job is, or if you have a job at all.

In America, we already gave up on that fight. Instead, we made it your employer's responsibility to provide you healthcare. And now the government is yelling at Uber for not giving you healthcare.

Fascinating.

Another reason to buy an Apple Watch. It works out perfectly for Apple.

I know people who changed jobs for a salary lower than their current one. Sometimes people just don't enjoy what they are doing and they would rather work at a place they love.

AirPods have a worse mic than pretty much anything you can get. Macbook Pro's built-in microphone or Apple's $20 wired earbuds both have much better mics than AirPods.

I would suggest recording yourself using different microphones and comparing them to see how bad Airpods mic is.

In half of these positions, it's hard to tell which player is attacking. It would be nice if there was a note that explains which team we are looking at.

> Ok sounds. Good. Medical treatment is an available service.

Which treatment? When? How often? Does "the right to healthcare" include yearly check-ups, for instance? People died from COVID in many different countries, not because they can't afford treatment, but because they need care urgently when we don't have hospital capacity. An emergency room being full is not a situation unique to pandemics, it happens more often than you think.

The comparison with the right to an attorney, while interesting, may not be completely accurate. This right is more about preventing you from being punished without a chance to defend yourself.

> To me this reads like pretty creative mental gymnastics

On the contrary, comparing healthcare to other rights is actually more of a mental gymnastics exercise. As far as I'm aware, no country defined healthcare as a right in their constitution.

Universal healthcare and Medicare for All are already popular ideas in the US. "Healthcare as a right" is not a winning message in my opinion, since it can be attacked from a philosophical and legal standpoint.

> Although low resolution image uploads doesn't seem very useful

They are still very high resolution. They're just not the original 50 MB file. It worked perfectly well for the overwhelming majority of people.

Pixel offered unlimited storage even for uncompressed photos, but that option was also discontinued a few years ago.

It implies he has parents in Iran. He could be a US citizen or an Iranian citizen. Or both. Or neither.

You won't see this article on "tech journalism" websites. They will instead talk about how the upcoming iPhone 12 will be the best iPhone yet.

Isn't it sad? Running your own software on a computer you own has become this weird thing and there needs to be a specific term for it (side-loading).

They were lobbying for an increased quota, not for wage requirements for H1B workers.

No, Canada doesn't have this. I don't know any country that gives immediate citizenship to talented individuals.

Well, unfortunately everything is so political these days. Principles or potential legal precedents are barely being discussed at all.

glad to know i'm not the only who felt that. i kept trying to scroll assuming my browser is broken.

i think it's also the design of the page. it has no footer.

This was probably true in the earlier days of Facebook.

At this point, Facebook isn't even about Facebook. Facebook is a typical giant that acquires other companies. I would argue WhatsApp has more impact on the world than Facebook. Zuckerberg can't be proud of WhatsApp though, since he didn't build it.

To me, there is clearly no higher purpose here besides power.

Reddit has some of the most obnoxious and shameless dark patterns I've ever seen.

Even if you download the app, it constantly tries to lure you into logging in by displaying a fake notification count. The good old "Hey you've got a message, login to see it" technique. If you still refuse to login, the notification count becomes 2, as if now you have 2 messages. It's quite disgusting and makes me dislike reddit. Unfortunately, I'm guessing these tactics work on the average user.

Well, I certainly can think of more worker-friendly nations. Isn't Japan known for its toxic work culture?

You need to use the UI (assuming you have access to an iOS device).

I agree. "SMS is not 2FA-secure" implies SMS is not suitable for 2FA at all. In reality, SMS 2FA is still very valuable to most people, even though it's not secure enough.

I would pay a premium for NOT having a touch bar. I want physical keys for brightness/volume etc.

As someone who is not depended on by anyone, I still have to acquire a monthly payment. I don't have a way out of the rat race either.

Helpful and interesting.

However, you can tell this was written by an engineer. The acronym CL is used about a hundred times. There is not a single page where the first usage of the acronym explains the full term.

But they're happy.

The new Macbook Air actually has TouchID without the touch bar.

I actually mind the touch bar, because I like having actual keys for brightness adjusment, keyboard backlight, and volume.

I think the point is at least both sensors wouldn't fail literally at the same exact second. There would be a period of time where the sensors are disagreeing, and that would alert the pilot about what is going on.

Even better, categorize your app as a game. Now they're players.

Pokémon Go players don't even get paid, yet they drive from pokestop to pokestop just to earn virtual items.

I don't wait until 9am because my co-workers and my managers accept me the way I am. And I think that's how it should be.

Ultimately, you create value to the company by getting stuff done, not by trying to fit in.

> So really the discussion is much more like "Does condition X provide a 3 or a 4 percent boost?"

I think it's more like whether it brings a 400% boost. It is definitely an important discussion to have. Whether Twitter is the place is another story.

Minor correction: It doesn't mean "Android", it means Google services.

Why isn't this titled as "Google revokes Huawei's Android license"?

"Suspends some business" is an understatement.
