ohmaigad··on Walmart says it will discontinue Jet
Depends how you look at it. I'd say that if you value brand based on its recognition and not on its revenue/profit then Walmart is not one of the most valuable brands in the world. Just looking at the Forbes list i really doubt that MasterCard is less recognised around the world as SAP or Walmart, or Home Depot (operates in 3 countries) is more recognisable as Gillette or Ford... Forbes list should really be called "Worlds most valuable companies" not brands.
ohmaigad··on Finnish basic income pilot improved wellbeing, study finds
Unless this is applied only to the richest 1%, majority won't support UBI. I think that true UBI is something that is given to everyone (even the 1%) and everything else is abolished (unemployment, paid sick leave, pensions and all other social security benefits).
ohmaigad··on A look at modern PHP
"Vastly superior" how? I can have those features with a tool like deployer (written in PHP) and the only dependency is SSH.
ohmaigad··on TablePlus – Modern, Native Tool for Database Management
I have been testing the free version and there are a few things which i find annoying:

1. Importing large SQL files into DB is slow, SequelPro seems to be much faster;

2. No option to add/delete connection when you choose "Show connections";

3. Maybe it is a free limitation but almost every time i want to open a table it wants to create a new tab;

4. It doesn't want to reconnect to the server (even when cmd +r) if it lost connection - must close and open server again;

5. I have noticed that 2 different databases which are exact copies (structurally) have different column order so doing simple cmd + c in one DB and then cmd + v will mess up the data as the column order is different.

ohmaigad··on Pcileech WebRadar – browser based radar cheat for CS:GO
Why is the game sending all this data which is essentially just hidden by the UI? What is the point of sending enemy location and health data when they aren't near/visible to the player? For a non game dev like me it sounds like wasted bandwidth and a way to enable wallhack.
ohmaigad··on Spain is moving to permanently establish universal basic income
Having a shared debt but not shared fiscal policies across the board. What could go wrong.
ohmaigad··on IKEA Frekvens LED box hack
And that means they are evil? Wow, people nowadays.
ohmaigad··on iOS now requires Sign On with Apple alongside other auth providers
How it is not? If your app offers its own login and any of the social logins you must implement Apple login as well.
ohmaigad··on Hackers Can Clone Millions of Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia Keys
Yes but I would assume that coming home and putting all your keys somewhere to lay down is a routine for most people.
ohmaigad··on Hackers Can Clone Millions of Toyota, Hyundai, and Kia Keys
Latest BMW, Audi, VW and Ford (or at least some models from these manufacturers) key fobs stop transmitting after X amount of time (based on motion).
ohmaigad··on Twitter starts testing 'Fleets,' its version of Stories
This idea has been looked at - https://copyrightalliance.org/ca_faq_post/tweet-protected-co... Seems that if you posted an original joke it should be copyrightable.
ohmaigad··on Why Cloudflare Chose AMD EPYC for Gen X Servers
It is the same thing with Intel - motherboard must support ECC and actually use it.
ohmaigad··on Federal safety official slams Tesla, regulators for misuse of its Autopilot tech
Comparing specific cases to the national average probably isn't the most trustworthy source. Not really apples to apples comparison.
ohmaigad··on Coronavirus – The Outlook Has Worsened
Then why are you wondering why it is included? Mainland in this case is a geopolitical term.
ohmaigad··on Coronavirus – The Outlook Has Worsened
Mainland China is PRC.
ohmaigad··on Tesla teardown finds electronics 6 years ahead of Toyota and VW
None of the Teslas have Retina displays (> 200ppi)
ohmaigad··on FAA faces dilemma over 737 Max wiring flaw that Boeing missed
> Fixing the wiring issue would mean fixing it on every single 737 in service, not just the 737 MAX.

No it wouldn't as 737 was certified before the new regulation. It is in the article:

> That earlier 737 NG model didn’t have to meet the current wiring-separation standards because they came into force long after that jet was certified.

Just like with cars - you can drive a car from 70ties without airbags or crumple zones but you cannot buy a new car without airbags as it won't be able to pass the latest regulations.

Imo in this case the main issue is not the safety (seeing how the older planes aren't falling out of the sky) but setting a precedent where the certification authority has missed an issue which is not according to regulation - do the manufacturer gets a free pass or it is their responsibility to make the item according to regulation in the first place and it doesn't matter if it was missed during the certification process.

ohmaigad··on Sweden gives employees unpaid time off to be entrepreneurs (2019)
What exactly do you gain? The leave pay is paid by the government and you still need a new employee.
ohmaigad··on Apple Edge Cache
Unless there is some kind of limitation for the 1 year free AppleTV+ offer (when buying a new device) it is a terrible service and not even a competitor to Netflix. The prices for movies are abnormal - Predator (a 23 year old movie) is 4.99EUR for rent. For comparison a small market (<2mil people) local streaming service offers the same movie for rent for 1.90EUR.
ohmaigad··on Apple store workers should be paid for time waiting to be searched, court rules
This is in the EU:

"The European Union Court of Justice has ruled that time spent traveling to and from your job counts as work, and that your employer has to pay you for it. But don’t get too excited–this only counts if you have no fixed office or place of work. The new law is designed to protect workers who travel to remote sites, straight from their home. If you commute to the same office cubicle every day, nothing changes."

Sounds like a good way to mass enabling discrimination based on where you live...

ohmaigad··on MacBook 16-inch Fan Noise (2019)
I have MBP 16" with the 8-core i9, palm rest sensors show they are at 32C and 30C at my regular usage (browser, IDE, slack and other apps). However i don't use external screen.
ohmaigad··on Social Credit Systems, coming soon to a democracy near you
You don't need a lot more than a few seconds to understand that "Fuck, i am tired" or "Fuck nazis" is not something inherently bad. For an algorithm - i am not so sure (even a company as huge as youtube cannot figure it out).
ohmaigad··on Social Credit Systems, coming soon to a democracy near you
The question is - does the "bad PR" really matter? Is there actual data/research proving that it in fact has an impact on the business profits? I doubt that people won't go and watch the latest Guardians of Galaxy just because James Gunn is back at directing it. I wouldn't put that much weight on the usual twitter outrages.
ohmaigad··on Social Credit Systems, coming soon to a democracy near you
The issue is that there is no way their algorithm understands context. Saying "Fuck nazis" will probably flag you for swearing and being a nazi. An actual person looking your tweets/posts can understand the context.
