At some point, foregoing everything that is similar to what you just mentioned moves out of inconvenience territory and into social self-exclusion territory. To remain ideologically consistent with your argument, one must fully self-exclude.

Consider all of the sources of the available tracking data on a person in the United States. If you don't have a cell phone, don't drive a car, don't walk around outdoor networked cameras, don't patronize businesses that have networked cameras, don't use a credit card, how exactly are you interacting with this society?

Belief and stakeholder buy-in is all that it takes for that data to be collected, no?

Like everything else in today’s world: scale makes all the difference.

Let everyone file that claim for a single geek squad visit.

Oh, I sure have. It’s not all ignorance, unfortunately.

Ah, great. Time to prepare.

Prepare for what? In what way?

If the parent had kept reading, they might have discovered the retroactive explanation of that sentence:

"This is the form’s real operation. Deadpan does not convince you it is neutral. It performs neutrality in a way that lets you enjoy both the performance and your awareness of it. You are in on the joke. The image says it didn’t choose, and you know it chose, and both of you agree to pretend otherwise because the pretence produces something valuable: attention."

I am curious to hear why you believe those roles don't provide any value.

"Think about it. It's like Kafka wrote a Lovecraft story."

Those particular neurons of mine haven't seen action in quite some time, thank you.

I think I see where you're coming from, but if we're using them to predict hurricanes, it's likely just meteorological data arbitrage. All else seems like random chance; hardly an example of an oracle.

In the prediction markets, there's a fine line between predicting and manifesting.

That's one way to get severance.

Can you help me understand how Privacy Sandbox was going to make the web tracking-free?

I sure feel like I've been involved with some projects that had an atomic BOM.

They do, if they're asked over one of the many popular non-secure chat platforms.

I feel like most people don't wait until their friends are in the room to ask them questions or exchange info.

Yes. I, too, shall spudge.

That stings, but how many purchases do you think it's getting?

I think that's an oversimplification. The market rates for wholesale, private sale, and retail are different. Selling a vehicle to a private party always nets the seller more cash than selling the same to a dealer. As a private buyer, you would have a very difficult time trying to buy a vehicle direct from most manufacturers.

As another said, this is due to lobbying, but that doesn't change the fact that the markets are different.

The first track's corruption sounds to me a bit like the intro to "Knuckles" by The Presets.

What audio codec and parameters are used for the recordings? You've really nailed the 90s landline sound.

My search engine works great. I just have to pay for it. And for the amount my career depends on being able to find information online, it’s not hard to justify $10/month for a search engine that actually respects my queries to avoid SEO garbage sites.

There may be no risk to the phone electronics themselves, but you are abusing the battery and increasing the risk of failure though bulging and thermal runaway.

I would personally not call regularly exposing lithium ion cells to 170+ degrees F “safe”.

Why do you think those protections are there?

Im guessing nobody dies from this, since 30C is water.

The catch is that they’re also without any benefit, and they’re poorer to boot.

Are you sure about that? Can you conceive of LLM generated SEO spam blogs receiving comments from completely unrelated LLM generated comment spammers?

Ah yes, Conda, definitely something else I've heard of.

Same here. You can't even scroll to see it. I'm sure it's not intentional.

As of this writing, Ally is still higher than Apple Savings account (4.25% APY vs 4.15% APY)

The cell modem is integrated into the SoC, but the antenna isn't.

You might have to give up wifi and bluetooth if you cut that out, though.

Can you imagine passing a tractor going 35 on a 55 two-lane country road in a 2500 lb car with 110 horsepower?

I didn't believe you, then I didn't want to believe you, then I checked, and it sure does.
