Personally, I'd prefer no privacy intrusions at all.

The issue is that Apple previously was not intruding into their user's privacy (at least publicly), but now they are.

It sounds like your argument is that Apple could have been doing this all along and just not telling us. I find that unlikely mainly because they've marketed themselves as a privacy-focused company up until now.

The point is that by allowing more highly-skilled immigrants into the country, it enables many other companies to make use of that high-skill labor and increase productivity (which would increase our standard of living, in theory). The lowering of wages is only a side effect of that.

Whenever one of these threads pops up I'm always surprised at the lack of responses for OneNote.

For me it's pretty much perfect - it syncs with all my devices, supports the iPad pencil, supports OCR and text searching in images, has native apps, and it's free.

No, they've had Prius plug-in hybrids for awhile now (but as far as I can tell, the demand for those haven't been nearly as high as the Rav4 Prime).

What if your "T" isn't a collection though?

It? This is an actual person we are talking about. And most people are perfectly capable of handling a mildly stressful situation without acting like a complete jerk to someone.

> loose control over my network because a SaaS went offline

That doesn't sound correct. I've always been able to access my controller without internet access as long as I was on the same LAN and was hitting the controller IP directly.

But it doesn't justify being rude to the support person.

Absolutely - pick the right tool for the job. Generally speaking I'd go for PostgreSQL in most cases but there are definitely scenarios where Cassandra would perform better and be more appropriate.

Redis is an in-memory datastore first and foremost (with optional persistence). With that said, it's probably not the right tool if you need to store and persist TB-worth of data even if it is key-value. Something like Cassandra is probably a better fit if you have a lot of non-relational data that needs to be persisted and you need it to scale.

That article says nothing about CO2, which is by far the biggest man-made contributor to global warming (and probably what the person above you was referring to)

Are you referring to code folding? Stuff like that helps but it's still not as good as Lombok just generating the getters and setters for you. I'm not sure if IntelliJ can filter out some of the other stuff Lombok can generate (builders, value objects, constructors, etc.)

For small projects like this either one would probably be fine. Hell, you can try implementing with both just to see what you like and don't like from each.

How so?

I've always found that the longer a feature branch is worked on separately from master, the merge back into master is that much more painful.

Sounds like the F-35 might be a better analogy then. Astronomically more expensive, extensive but questionable feature set.

> However, I think the resistance is also because the nature of the catastrophe is different. Have coal or gas plants ever created a Chernobyl-style exclusion zone?

Indirectly, yes. I think that rising sea levels due to climate change effectively does the same thing by making once-habitable coastal areas effectively uninhabitable.

Not sure what you mean there. Everything I've read about "clean" coal seemed like greenwashing to me.

Is there a working example of any of these perceived waste capture mechanisms? How much more expensive are they to operate?

Not to mention actively trying to meddle with US elections.

I'll admit I'm not an expert in this area, but it seems like whoever is buying these loans should be doing some due diligence on the property associated to these mortgages, right? It then follows that the lenders should have to do some due diligence up front so that they don't get stuck with something they can't later resell.

I don't buy this argument.

The property itself is collateral for the loan. If the value of the property tanks, and then the owner is also unable to pay their mortgage due to not having a job, then in many cases the bank ends up holding the bag. This happened quite a bit during the Great Recession.

Also, given the way that the Fed has been pushing interest rates to near zero, and with the chance that they could go negative (which I find pretty unlikely, but everything seems so wild right now so who knows) there is a chance that inflation could come into play and keep property values high.

I'm jealous. My in-laws live in Woodstock and I love visiting that part of NY, especially when it's not Winter.

I generally agree, and I personally don't wear a mask outside when I walk in my neighborhood for this exact reason (very low density, plenty of space).

With that said, it appears that if there is any gray area in the rules then the general population is almost sure to abuse them. In this case, I think it's better to err on the side of caution and make it 100% mandatory so there is absolutely no gray area.

You have a hard time believing that their team experienced more happiness and productivity with TS...because your ReasonML code compiles a lot faster than your TS code?

No, because at least in the US, iMessage has one thing that no other messaging app has - install base.

I'm more referring to an attacker cloning their own cards, not someone else's. Some smartcard systems assume that the state of the card is the source of truth, and not anything on the server. In that case you don't want people cloning their own cards and then using those to hop on the subway.

I don't see the argument for why security requirements should be lower in that case. Security cameras are not always present and getting arrested "on the spot" for a virtual card theft seems unlikely given the nature of the crime (it seems doubtful police forces would have officers standing by for this purpose that are able to both detect and react quickly enough).

Think about it more from the perspective of a jailbroken device being used as a wallet for "cloned" virtual credit cards, transit cards etc. and then using those on NFC readers.

It's not possible right now AFAIK but that doesn't mean it might not be possible later.

The main point I'm trying to make though is that mobile devices support NFC payments with virtual cards in wallets that are protected by Apple/Google. That's not a use case that is supported on regular PCs, so it's not unreasonable that the security requirements are different.

LinkedIn maybe? First time I've seen it too.

> This is obviously wrong. It's possible to do the same banking things using the bank's website both from general purpose PCs and browsers on phones for which jailbreak detection is not possible in the browser.

That's quite a bold statement, and also not correct in my experience. Take for example NFC payments. Both Apple and Google will disable the mobile wallet if they detect that the phone has been rooted / jailbroken.

I don't see why it's confusing. What is the importance of distinguishing between factual vs ideological violations?
