> Please explain why this is different from traveling to any other country.

My guess is that the "trigger" for "any other country" is much higher.

Criticize the US President all you like on every social network: not a problem.

Save a screenshot of Winnie the Pooh: you're playing with fire.

> This event happens so rarely

Does it though?

Also: I wear a helmet or a belt every single time I drive even for 1km. Should I not? I never needed them. 0% use rate so far for me, might as well not have done it.

The issue is that when it happens, you're done.

Considering that you probably don't need to keep all your eggs in one basket, why not at least try?

On this note, I wish providers were forced to provide a third-party backup mechanism for important data so that if I were to lose:

- the email: it could forward my email to at least receive them

- my photos: a copy could be kept on multiple hostings

etc

Correct. All of our food contains parasites, pathogens, and deadly chemicals, even those we eat the most like pork, salmon and cassava. The difference is that we learned how to deal with those risks. Literally water can be fatal sometimes, this issue is not specific to bugs.

The study at hand specifically mentions that further research is required in order to reach the same level of safety for bugs as well.

I don’t think there’s an exact correlation between safety and “what we eat,” which is rather more a consequence of availability and customs. Lots of countries don’t eat horse meat or snakes. Neither one is particularly unsafe.

It’s right there in the document, assuming that the comma here was a typo:

> Despite, food preparation processes parasite allergens may still be detected.

> wait at least 10 minutes after detecting an AirTag before causing it to emit a noise

Wait, anyone in my building can make an AirTag go off? Can't wait to annoy a few people at 3am /s

I fail to see what part of the story so far changes the ethics of this. Not having privacy is still not great, even if there's little expectation of it where he lives.

To be fair, when you lose something, you're not only at the mercy of the person who finds it (if they do), but you're also asking a complete stranger to do something for you.

If I have time I could drive across town to deliver something to you, if I don't I'll leave it there.

Probably because there's no veggie as tasty as meat with a sprinkle of salt.

Chapulines are not eaten raw, like most bugs they're fried or toasted in a pan or comal, but the study shows that parasites may survive that.

> Ask yourself why humans refrained from eating them

Plenty of humans don't eat plenty of meats and sea animals either. Traditions don't necessarily contain good wisdom.

I think seeing a bug feast on feces and then having it sneak up on your food stashes might trigger an obvious reaction (similar to pigs and the reason why some don't eat them)

> Wish it was a standalone app rather than buried in the settings menu.

I could say the same about Passwords. I'm happy that they * finally * got passwords out of that relic called Keychain Access and into the System Preferences, but they could do even more.

I hope to see an actual "online security" center on iOS and macOS within 2 years, with passwords, temporary emails, even learning material.

I had some issues with my iCloud "Hide my email" once too when trying to contact support. Either they weren't getting my emails or they were purposefully ignoring my refund requests until I contacted my card company. It is an extra step to worry about, but if your setup is good enough (e.g. use iCloud and use Mail.app), then it's probably going to be easier.

Most of your points are also about price. You could subscribe to all of them and also buy all the stuff even from outside market if you had money. I bet that’s still more convenient than hoping to find your whole series in decent quality right now.

> ut not being able to watch a movie because your internet connection is down

Some services allow you to download movies beforehand just like you would have to do with pirated movies.

You can export .eml files, alter them and reimport them.

You missed the world of file hosting services connected to the world of piracy.

Plus it’s more likely that one would pay $10, clean up the inbox and move on, compared to $25 yearly forever.

Yes and you can use rsync instead of Dropbox ($10B)

People are willing to pay for convenience. Your mutt isn’t going to automatically find all large attachment, downsize them or handle inline images, but you didn’t read the article so you wouldn’t know that.

Gotta thank Zoom for supplying a new excuse to not install Zoom on my Mac. I’ve been using it from iOS every time I had to and then deleting it afterwards.

If anyone asks me when I’m on my phone, I tell them I don’t trust Zoom.

I must say that this looks amazing on my phone. Spacing, font, sidebar, and lack of header are chef’s kiss. I would however potentially add a dismissible welcome text as a header to describe what I’m looking at.

Feels like you:

1. Didn't read the article (they dropped 13% of the entire page weight). The websites are already well below of "today’s average"

2. Don't understand the impact of having a page that loads instantly at the government level. These websites are not for fun, they must work well for everyone.

> the change for users on a low bandwidth connection or lower specification device will be much more noticeable, resulting in significantly improved page download speed and performance.

Encrypted but they have the keys so they can serve it to anyone who asks. That’s why “end-to-end” is subsequently mentioned as an “additional” step for certain data. It should all be end-to-end like iCloud Keychain is, at least on demand.

I’d much rather seen a system-wide “container” implementation a-la-Firefox instead. Safari is pretty good at this but not as good as Firefox. I really want my real-life accounts be segregated from the rest of the internet. Reddit should never be able to know what other sites I use.

GP a was referring to a specific “web view” implementation that offers an almost-complete browser implementation and security on iOS. Facebook does not use this but a regular WebView

It’s really painful to see all of these encryption holes in every product we use daily. Apple claims privacy, yet your whole phone sits unencrypted on their server ready to be served to anyone who asks (assuming you back up your phone to iCloud)

That was a great update, but still not a true browser. No tabs, no bookmarks. Why should the website be restricted to one tab? Just open Safari and be done with it.

Please tell every newspaper to publish this so Apple puts a stop to this. I have no idea why they allow this. All apps should use Safari unless they’re a browser and this rated “18+”

The class of software that never needs updates is shrinking rapidly — unless you're ok with using software that looks like it was made for Windows 98. It's fine, but not great

> Consider an outage email containing a diagnostic report

So, here's the problem, I don't care. I left the company. I cannot access the account anymore. The project is dead. There are a million reasons why I just don't want your emails so there's no excuse to not add an unsubscribe link.

The only messages that don't have to include such link are those that if missed/ignored lead to fees, fines, death, imprisonment and other real-life consequences.

An update to your privacy policy does not fall into that category.

Yeah, anyone can think of their emails as "relationship message". The point is that I don't want your relationship emails either, especially if I'm no longer actually using the service.

The problem is that this is junk messaging that no one reads nor needs.

It’s not. Providing an unsubscribe link is one of the main points of the act. On Wikipedia is the first point listed.

That does not sound practical nor necessary. An authentication should be required to disable a service, but is never necessary to stop notifications.

In my view there’s only one thing to do when emails don’t contain an unsubscribe link: report spam — because it is, as described by CAN-SPAM.
