333c··on Hacking Grindr Accounts with Copy and Paste
They didn't actually remove Epic's access. Epic just claimed that they would with no corroboration. https://www.imore.com/apple-reverses-course-will-still-allow...
333c··on Text-Only Websites
I think https://i.reddit.com is "more text-only" even though it does have icons and some thumbnails.
333c··on My story with App Review
I did, thanks.
333c··on My story with App Review
California is a two-party consent state[0], which means everyone on a phone call must agree to it being recorded before it can be recorded.

In general, many more US states are one-party consent[1], which means that only one member of the conversation has to agree to the recording.

333c··on De-Escalation Keeps Protesters and Police Safer
Can you elaborate on the IQ restrictions?
333c··on The nightmare that colleges face this fall
I want you to be wrong. Your vision of present circumstances isn't what I want to come of age in. But I'm not sure I can definitively refute your claims. One thing that gives me hope is that the recent assassination of Soleimani didn't actually lead to war despite expectations that it could. I see all the problems you're talking about, and I don't think there are solutions, but I can hope that there will be and that things might change.
333c··on Doordash and Pizza Arbitrage
While that is a good video (and demonstrates manipulation of TripAdvisor), I'm pretty sure the commenter means this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k47u9tduwb8

This video features (a) delivery and (b) reimbursement, both mentioned in the original comment but not present in your video.

333c··on Reddit rolls out community currencies on Ethereum
I also remember them making this announcement (and it wasn't Dogecoin, as the other commenter says). I can't seem to find an announcement about this though.
333c··on Google Pixel Buds
The (rounded, white, shiny) charging/carrying case is definitely heavily inspired by the AirPods. While the headphones, visually, don't look a lot like the AirPods, in terms of functionality they're very similar, as they're wireless earbuds that don't have a wire even between the earbuds, and they feature noise cancellation that adapts to the environment.
333c··on Lamest Edit Wars
I'm being prescriptivist here, but to my (West coast American) ear "on accident" is wrong, caused by confusing "on purpose" and "by accident."
333c··on Is MIPS Dead? Lawsuit, Bankruptcy, Maintainers Leaving and More
Yep, I also learned MIPS in my CS class. It's pretty nice to program in.
333c··on You’ve Got 0-Click Mail: Unassisted iOS Attacks RCE via Mobilemail/Maild
If you've never used Apple's Mail app on an iOS device, the vulnerability doesn't affect you.
333c··on You’ve Got 0-Click Mail: Unassisted iOS Attacks RCE via Mobilemail/Maild
You can still manually fetch the mail.
333c··on Airbnb reportedly lays off contractors and cancels summer internships
Interesting. My internship (not at Airbnb) is still happening, but now remotely. I booked some housing through Airbnb without refunds, so now I am attempting to get a refund from Airbnb due to COVID–19.
333c··on New iPhone SE
This article[0] from MacRumors in January seems to indicate all iPhones currently supported by iOS 13 will be supported by iOS 14.

333c··on New iPhone SE
There are certainly all the previous iPhones that had just one (back-facing) camera. I suppose they're saying that it's better than all of those. Every year they say that the new phone is the "best iPhone ever," which I suppose is true but isn't a very strong statement.

Edit: Actually, the iPhone XR has just one camera: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-xr

333c··on New iPhone SE
I don't think this is the comparison that you're drawing, but I'd like to point out that my current iPhone SE has been doing well for three years (other than a battery replacement), and I think it has at least one more year left in it. So it's not just the top-end phones that have staying power.
333c··on New iPhone SE
For me, I prefer the 4" screen but I can handle a slightly bigger screen. Touch ID is a must and I'm glad they kept it. But the loss of the headphone jack will be bad, so I'll stick with my current SE as long as it's supported.
333c··on California’s Roadmap to Modify the Stay-at-Home Order [pdf]
Don't forget Newsom, who issued the first state-wide shelter in place order. That has been invaluable in keeping California safe(r).
333c··on GitHub is now free for teams
Yep, GitLab has had this for ages, and GitHub has gone from no private repos on free plans to private repos with only a few collaborators to this.
333c··on Colornames.org – A collaborative effort to name all 16.7M colors
"can't tell apart" isn't a transitive relation. That is, just because I can't tell A from B and I can't tell B from C doesn't mean I can't tell A from C.
333c··on 230, or not 230? That is the EARN IT question
With Telegram at least, you do not have to share your contacts with the app. You can build up a Telegram-specific list of contacts based on who you message on the platform.
333c··on 230, or not 230? That is the EARN IT question
I agree with your point, and I suspect that part of this comes from the Signal android app, which can be used as a replacement for all messaging (including SMS). Like Apple's Messages, it automatically upgrades from SMS to Signal when the recipient supports receiving messages on that platform.
333c··on Yale Students Demand Automatic 'Pass' Due to Covid-19
I'm not trying to get into a lengthy discussion so I'll leave it after this comment.

> the reality is, they are.

But Yale admins/faculty have the power to change that. Whether the change is worth it (and what the best course of action is) is a matter for debate. But I wouldn't say that the best course of action is to sit back and say "that's just the reality of the situation" when we have a capability to effect change.

> Now, what happens if this extends for multiple semesters?

> Are all the Ivy schools going to PASS/FAIL online until graduation?

That's certainly not an ideal course of action, but (in my view) it may be what the Ivies are forced to do.

333c··on Userdir URLs like https://example.org/~username/ are dangerous
Today my college lets me do the same. I wonder if I could even possibly use `mod_wsgi` to run something like a Python server.
333c··on Yale Students Demand Automatic 'Pass' Due to Covid-19
To me that's the most compelling argument: equity. Some students come from a background with very few resources and an unstable home environment, or no home to speak of. These students shouldn't be at an academic disadvantage because of a global pandemic.
333c··on Yale Students Demand Automatic 'Pass' Due to Covid-19
Students at my college did this too. Just about half of the student body signed the petition. Ultimately the faculty board that makes decisions about grading modes refused to enact this.
333c··on How the Zoom macOS installer does its job without you clicking ‘install’
This browser extension enables the web interface: https://github.com/arkadiyt/zoom-redirector
333c··on Zoom private chat text between attendees is actually public
My comment asks the question: "Does the person downloading the log change the outcome?"
333c··on Zoom private chat text between attendees is actually public
It's not clear to me from this thread whether those messages only become public if one of the parties to the messages then download the chat, or even when a third party downloads the chat. One seems more serious than the other.
