If that grinds your gears, then also take a look at Pieter Levels

Child support is a percentage of your pay, so it has nothing to do with poverty. So that just leaves people who are bad with money management. Yes, threaten to take away their driving privilege instead of jail time. Put them in a position that forces them to meet their legal obligations. Child support is not some tax or fee or fine. It pays for food and shelter for children. The poorer spouse is usually the one that gets it. So if you don't enforce it, then you are directly punishing the poorer spouse (with the children) because the other one is "too bad with money management".

Have fun collecting that 20% of their minimum wage paycheck for the rest of their life to pay off your injuries, car damage, and lawyer fees. Assuming they don't just get paid under the table or work as a contractor.

And if they move to another state, have fun transferring your judgement over there and trying to find their bank accounts and employer(s). It's like getting blood from a stone. It's easier and cheaper to just pay a tiny bit more in insurance premiums.

Don't they have caps and levels for federal employee salaries? I agree that raising the salary would decrease the issues. I think that they'd need exceptions to account for these increases though.

For their cheapest model, they want to sell it at $10k which includes profit, but they can't build a single working one before that? Several thousand to build a single functional prototype is a drop in the bucket comparatively. This instills absolutely zero confidence that they could build anything... because well they've apparently built nothing except a preorder website full of mockups.

You're forcing Apple to carry/send/receive messages for their direct competitors. Apple obviously subsidizes the cost of iMessage currently from their iPhone sales. A workaround could be charging users a monthly rate to connect to their servers I suppose. But that seems like it would maybe defeat the point a little?

I think it was about 2008-2009 that Canada started requiring US citizens to have their passport. Before that, they would take most US state ids.

Zigbee Alliance renamed themselves to the CSA. Can companies still keep making Zigbee devices after Matter? Sure, it's not impossible, but it's not really going to happen much more than somebody producing anything else obsolete.

The fact of the matter is that Zigbee isn't competing with Matter, it's being replaced with Matter. Rebranding may not be the best choice of words, but I think you're missing the point.

People who want to drive and don't have licenses (whether by their choice or not) are currently driving on the roads right now. Also some of the worst drivers I've ever seen all do have their driver's license.

While what you're saying does seem to make sense, sometimes the situation isn't always that simple.

They should definitely fix that, however "don't travel much" and "over 50 (countries travelled)" are opposites.

Maybe let's try rephrasing it. Knowingly making a false report to the police is a crime. If it happens once or twice or even a few times over several years, that's not such a big deal, mistakes happen.

But in this case, it seems like there are several hundred false reports over several years. It's so much, that Hertz was able to hand over a database of data related to it. This is negligence, they clearly know they are doing something wrong and they know it's harming other people.

If tens or hundreds of your employees are making false reports consistently over many years and you're not doing something to resolve it? I suppose the answer to your question is yes.

His argument makes sense and I think he's completely right. However, his argument also includes, "If the depth prediction is arbitrarily close to lidar". So we have to ask ourselves a bunch of questions related to it. Can we get it close enough? How feasible, reasonable, and cheap is that? How can we tell if it's good enough? And I'm sure there's more.

> My argument is that most people don't need the capabilities offered by brand new, top of the line models. A used laptop that is a couple of years old is, I think, the best choice for most people.

I think you're correct. But also the majority of people will buy brand new ones either way. And a lot of them will spend much more than they should too.

Why is alimony stupid? I haven't really heard any good arguments against it.

Canada will acknowledge crimes that you've committed in other countries for denial of entry. As long as there is an equivalent law in Canada that is.

Canada doesn't recognize pardons and expungements from other countries. You must wait 5 years to apply for forgiveness after your sentence has ended (which would've been in Jan 2017).

iOS has more market share in the US than Android. Regarding paid apps, iOS has higher app store revenue than Android overall.

> Do you really need Windows?

Probably not, unless you are a gamer.

It's like a $10 delivery fee plus tip for me using Kroger. Assuming I'm ordering plenty of groceries I easily save that much in gas and time. And as far as I can tell, there's no hidden fees and items cost the same if I were to buy them in the actual store.

I've heard that thrown around before and... that doesn't make any sense. How would it be harder? If the police were to "disappear somebody", how would it be any more difficult to simply not release information about it? In fact, it seems like it'd be easier to "disappear" certain people, because they could claim they had nothing to do with it because they report others just fine.

First the battery and "expensive" mobile data used is negligible for an iPhone. The data used for sidewalk is not necessarily but could be. Second, Find my is NOT on by default. You have a choice to enable Find My when you set up the phone. Sidewalk is on by default. Third, the data that the iPhone sends is encrypted end to end and they heavily mention that they can't even read it. Amazon does not mention that, even if it happens to be true. Fourth, sidewalk ALWAYS uses your home network. You mentioned mobile data, at the very least, that's completely separate.

I swear I've tried it several times over several years. I've never gotten it to work.

You realize these devices already exist and for much cheaper right? In fact you can buy or make your own with gps and a sim card too. This technology isn't new at all. Even this exact product isn't new, you can already do this with Tile. The big difference is that AirTags are more secure.

Your device can't be certified without it to the best of my knowledge.

How is it inferior? Seems better in most ways to me.

* 800-900 MHz only

* every z-wave device works with every z-wave controller

* z-wave signals travel further

* z-wave requires aes-128

* power consumption is roughly the same as zigbee

* z-wave is an open standard contrary to what you say

They could just setup their own Bitcoin tumbler

So a similar sense to Haxe: https://haxe.org

Tax fraud is a felony. If morality doesn't stop a person from doing what's wrong, then usually the law (and its repercussions) does.

Not only is Face ID only stored in the one secure Apple chip (and not uploaded to Apple), but I'm fairly certain that the face identification that you linked is also only stored on your device as well.

Maybe it's changed, but I think that if you get a new device, it basically has to reindex all the faces iirc. Or maybe it's only stored in your own personal iCloud.
