The directive linked in the literal OP you're commenting under. (section 5.41 in that directive)

Outdoor cafes/restaurant terraces that allow smoking effectively are marketing to smokers. Smokers generally stay longer (therefore may order more), and basically are giving themselves dopamine at this venue, therefore creating associations to possibly draw them back in the future. These places could just not provide ashtrays and could just not allow smoking, but they do allow it, because it's good for business.

If you really don't like it, you could just not visit these establishments. To these businesses, the benefit of allowing smoking doesn't outweigh the negatives (some people not liking it). Obviously you don't not like it enough to just not go there. Not a smoker, but i've never understood this puritanical attitude towards smoking and only smoking. Yeah, it's not great to breathe in an enclosed space, but in an outdoor space, I don't see how much worse it is than car exhaust, air quality, etc.

moving from iphone to stock android is arguably a downgrade in regards to security & privacy. a rough rule of thumb is grapheneOS on a pixel (security & privacy) > stock ios (security, and at least their business model isn't openly selling your data) > stock pixel (security only, bad privacy) > stock android (not great on both fronts)

Japan and most of Europe do not really use iMessage (Japan uses LINE, Europe generally uses WhatsApp), so I'm not sure exactly how iPhone market dominance is relevant to the previous commenter's point.

a large chunk of Georgian territory is occupied by Russia, Abkhazia is one (which essentially functions as basically a breakaway state but is de facto russian controlled), and South Ossetia (which essentially functions as a de facto Russian oblast). That's probably the issue.

hadn't heard of this project before, but their github does include instructions on how to claim it even in a network-less dedicated docker container if you're truly paranoid.

Different contracts between Twitch partners have different levels of ad density, as well as differing amounts of cuts of subs/bits taken by Twitch. It's pretty negligible though, and could have been kinda estimated previously. For example, Hasanabi is claimed to have one of the lowest ad density requirements on twitch (1 60 second ad per 1 hour of broadcast, plus 3 minute ad at end of broadcast) which does line up with him making less than multiple streamers with less subs than him (and with probable higher ad densities required by contract).

It seems to be an AWS outage or fastly or something, Reddit, Twitch, parts of Amazon (their CSS for example) all seem to be having issues.

Some people in the article either have no ties to the US at all or have renounced US citizenship, so it _will not_ be corrected next year as they don't file tax returns.

Regardless, this is chump change to the US government, and there are other larger lost amounts of money they should probably worry about anyway.

My understanding is that the current Netflix contract generally includes a clause preventing other streaming services from picking it up, leaving to only allowing network TV to buy rights. That's how One Day at a Time got saved, PopTV which is owned by CBS, so technically network, managed to buy the rights. However they aren't allowed to add it to CBS All Access like they do other Pop shows. Doesn't help that the Netflix demographic, _especially_ for shows with large fandoms, don't generally use network TV.

It's in the built-in music app, not something extra on the app store.

My SSID is a single emoji, and the Switch displays just the missing char/"box" for my SSID as well.

I've still been using an iPhone 8 Plus as a daily driver since launch. Right after updates, or after not being used for a bit, there's some indexing that slows down the phone a little, but that recovers pretty quickly with some additional use.

I'm even running the iOS 14 Developer beta on my 8 Plus right now and it still runs like a dream.

You're getting two different tools mixed up -- "Have I Been Pwned?" and "Pwned Passwords."

Have I Been Pwned is the tool where you search your email, and it displays breaches.

Pwned Passwords is an API (there is a front-end but that's not the usecase) where you send a partial hash of a password to the API, and it returns a list of partial hashes that match, and the implementation from there sees if any of them match the full hash. It's used by quite a few online services to ensure users don't use weak passwords, as if it's shown up in multiple data breaches, they might not let you set it as your password.

Also in Southeast US (Orlando, FL) on AT&T Fiber. Can't access any google services. Thought I was going crazy.

I like it! Only issue I have though are some less than accessible design decisions. A lot of them could be fixed based on implementation (including `for` in the labels), and including a label with the select dropdown, but other than that I like it.

You won't see that often; the reason you saw that many at once was due to a satellite deployment a little under a week ago. For the first few days they orbit very close together before separating into their own orbits.

My understanding is that SpaceX is working with astronomers to minimize the impact to the night sky, but there are hiccups like just after a launch.

Wow that's pretty fleshed out. I created something similar 3 years ago, but I lost motivation (named it the same too haha): https://github.com/LakenH/98css

Depending on when they were released, you can use "Sidecar" which lets you use them as external wireless displays for MacOS https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380

Downloading an app defeats the whole purpose of contact tracing. The goal is that most of the population needs the app in order for it to be effective at all. The odds of two people who have the same app, with the correct permissions intersecting each other is incredibly slim. Additionally I don't think you fully understand how geofencing works.

I feel the opposite, I prefer the Firefox dev tools by far. The CSS Grid and CSS Animation tools are lacking hard on Chrome. I feel though that overall they're close to equal, some tools are better on one platform than the other, but it's personal preference at the end of the day.

The original assumption, as far as I'm aware, was that Starlink being in such a low orbit wouldn't have these issues that previous satellites had.

an attacker could purchase google ads for "chɑse.com" (note the unicode "s" instead of "s"

The branding is confusing. AutoSSL is a very popular feature with WHM/cPanel, so many shared hosting providers offer their "AutoSSL" service.

Additionally, Let's Encrypt is a partner with cPanel's AutoSSL, so even more confusion may arise out of that.

For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=autossl

If you go anywhere within Latin America, you'll find quite quickly that "American" is used to describe someone from the continents, and it's consider very odd to introduce yourself as "American" to a local. You say you're Estadounidense, or "Soy de Estados Unidos" (From the United States).

It's actually a very charged topic in Latin America, as many latinos feel that the word they use to describe themselves has been stolen.

There are some features of AirPods that are only available on Apple devices. Off the top of my head those are:

- Easy Pairing (if you just open the case next to an iphone, a dialog box comes up where you can just tap 'pair' and you're done)

- Automatic Pause (if you remove an ear, it pauses it)

- Reassign touch gestures

- Audio Sharing

- Ability to choose which ear's microphone you wish to use

- Lossless audio quality

You'd be surprised. In Florida, there have been cases which have set precedent as websites being similar to libraries, which would mean the ADA applies to purely digital places. The problem is that the ADA has never set explicit rules for website accessibility.

I believe the majority of CC licenses are held by companies in most place regardless, so the minimum wage isn't as important to factor that in. The majority of transactions in day-to-day life in VE at this point is done using USD or bartering, so the local currency isn't quite as important either. Everything is under the table.

A lot of Venezuelans make money by doing freelance jobs, and I know many very skilled web devs that make really good money by doing foreign freelance jobs. These jobs may require CC licenses, so it screws them over.

Wake up at 7AM or so, shower, dress, drive 1hr to work.

Similar experience here. It wasn't as much as a problem in Bogotá as it was in the more touristy Cartagena or Medellín.

Cartagena was the worst with Ubers. I hailed an Uber in a touristy area, and immediately my driver messaged me (in Spanish of course) to get in the front seat, and if anyone asked, he's my friend. Once the Uber arrived, a taxista saw me get in the Uber and started yelling "es un Uber!" and my driver looked over at me and yelled at me to hurry up, before speeding away.
