I think gp point was that making it mandatory (or tax) would increase the budget of Deutsche Bahn.

That is exactly my understanding too. Though I think « inform » is more appropriate than « guilt trip »: my first understanding of your comment was « Apple wants to makes me feel guilt when using thei…

Isn’t AR comparable to a headset the same way VR is to noise-cancelled headsets ?

Thanks for the TLDR!
For what I know dissections of human body are still restricted in most countries and is not a common form of entertainment. What a fun epoch Franklin lived in: science experiments…

Sure ! And still the Walkman only takes one sense away, AR/VR intervene in two senses.

You should understand the guilt is on the recipient side (you). Here the sender (Apple) may have genuine concern about their users health or have marketing incentives to express the same concern. Prob…

The reputation you describe is non existant in my (non-English-speaking) country. I guess US and UK are just the easiest and richest targets for Indian hackers. Why should we expect something else ?

No it doesn’t, a ton of site that allow user submission works a different way, starting with this very place: hn.

That would make sense! Could we use today an usb stick (similar to the digital wallet ones) to “validate” the ownership without relying on a server, like cd+license did 15 years ago?

I can remember clearly my thoughts during before bumping into someone in front of me: it was quick alternates between “BREAK NOW” and “beware slipping”. Traffic was quite slow but but I was terrified …

Subscription: access the hosted MS Word with a browser installed on a device. Perpetual: instal MS Word on the device. “hosting” may supports subscription tech needs but doesn’t affect my experience a…

OP “own” the product in the sense “use it as long as he want in the terms defined in the license at the time it’s bought.” Adobe can’t change the license of the Photoshop CS3 cd-rom I bought a while a…

Today, Photoshop alone with updates is 21$/month.

C’mon, it can’t be the french for military reasons! Probably the MI16! No, the Russians! No, an outsider! No, the far rights! No, Caledonian Barbouzes! Mmmh finally that was the Frenchs…

Maybe fear of social judgement? What would you think of communicating first in a region with a group far away from your social circle ? EG if you’re asian and live in SV, silently deploy and ask peopl…

TLDR: leave them the fuck alone in the wild, and avoid them in urban areas. Also: > if a moose does charge, don't wait to find out if it's bluffing. Run and get behind something solid, li…

Most organisms metabolize organic materials into methane, not CO2. Edit:

Shelling 5 days before an invasion reads to me: “shelling is the (or a ) cause of the invasion”, not “invasion is the cause of the precedent shelling”. Like “causality happens before consequence”. …

Thanks for the precision. My point was: your latency will probably be more impacted by the number of nodes from you to the destination server than the distance to this server.

> there's absolutely zero evidence of that OP linked a Reuters post citing OSCE numbers. This organisation includes most European countries, US and Russia among others. If we can’t listen to e…

Well problem solved then ! Just find a lot of water in space not too far from earth, or a cheap way to create it in orbit.

Doesn’t Hawaii infrastructures benefits being a highly touristic place and a very rich country state ? In fact Hawaii has multiple supernodes: https://www.submarinecablemap.com/ …

Maybe GP does not live near NY, HK or any supernode.

Yeah, marketers loves to say that because there is a latency gain for the wireless part of the request travel. The more the information you request is close to the antenna, the more you’ll benefit of …

Isn’t Verified a feature to (supposedly) attest someone identity instead of attesting the trueness of their tweets? For my understanding the purpose was to help newcomers to distinguish @realDonaldTru…

What’s wrong with Honk Hong and South Korea ? 90% says they’re very or rather happy and thinks only 20% of their peer does. I wonder if that’s linked to a cultural thing. Any Asian expert have an idea…

so I guess you just jumped to the comment section without reading the report ?
