Aren’t most android phones still able to share files via Bluetooth? I thought that was the whole shtick of android back when people actually compared the two platforms.

This sounds cool, but does it make sense?

“It uses just tiny bits of data that piggyback on existing network traffic so there’s no need to worry about your battery life, your data usage, or your privacy.”

How do you piggyback on existing traffic without increasing it?

Indeed the answer should simply be Not any more.

To be fair, I’m not sure I’d necessarily trust an “injectable” chip that’d be forever lost in my body, unremovable. Subcutaneous chips sound much more reasonable, especially if I can pay with my finger.

I’ve never heard this question formulated this way, it’s weird that they would put it in the FAQs unless they’re just taking the piss.

A more helpful question would have been “Can I be spied/tracked after I’m vaccinated” or something along those lines.

Right, my suggestion is that it should. Yahoo’s settlement included identity protection or something along those lines. Disclosure to the customer might not always be enough.

Full credit card details were leaked; The 72 hour window is reasonable. I’d go as far as forcing them to contact the banks of those cards as well.

They could easily factor natural growth and ping you when it feels like bills are getting too close to the cap. Even “bursts” could be allowed x% above the cap if you get an email within an hour.

The lack of caps is just laziness or a dark pattern by Amazon. There’s no excuse to not implement them, it’s not a hard problem.

I use a few free APIs with usage limits. Maybe I pay 10 cents a year. I’m always afraid to one time open an invoice to find out it’s way more than that for whatever reason.

The problem is that AWS markets itself as “pay what you use” and generally that’s extremely little for me, but if I screw up with Glacier I suppose I could get a $100 bill because I restored some backups the wrong way.

“My friends got covid and they’re fine” comes to mind:

1. Your anecdotal experience is meaningless.

2. I’d rather have scientists confidently say “we’ll all die if we don’t change” than “eh maybe it’ll be alright, let’s wait and see” while business continues as usual.

Getting the population riled up about #realistic# scenarios is a good way to actually changing things.

You certainly have to wait for the right moment away from the airport, but people have done much more for much less than $100k

I think that’s why we see slow increases of bandwidth. Jumping from 10M to 1G is really expensive and services to make use of it will take a decade to adjust/appear, especially if everyone else is still on 10 or 20M. So the investment might not be immediately useful for a ISP.

What we’re seeing however is companies who’d rather keep charging $50 and offer zero upgrades because there’s zero incentive to.

In Italy we went from an average of 2GB of mobile data to 50GB because a new player entered the market and existing companies had to adapt because they were obviously bleeding customers. I’m sure it cost them money, but it happened, and now people can use more internet for less money.

Now you can argue that my mom doesn’t use more than 2GB/month, but now she can, and so can I, without having to pay $100/month like you do in the US — I pay €8 for 50GB

Excuse me what are they selling?!

As long as large companies can buy votes through lobbying, the condition of animals will not improve. I’m not a vegetarian but when I see how they’re treated in the US it sickens me a little. Thankfully I don’t live there so I know my chickens and goats are those that I see hanging out in front my house.

It seems people are hunk TextEdit is the macOS equivalent of Notepad.exe while instead it’s more like WordPad

Wow this is almost exactly what I’ve been looking for for years. I don’t want a tool like up that works on a fixed entry command; I want a full terminal that takes care of everything, showing me the output at every step. What’s missing is some caching (think HTTP requests) and limitation (e.g. evaluate the first 4 HTTP calls, and wait for me to approve the rest if they’re good)

It never will be enough. Content will fill the capacity. Video will be streamed lossless. Websites will load 30MB of JavaScript because they can.

56k was enough for text, then came images, then came videos, then came 4K video. We’ll definitely find creative ways to saturate 1Gb connections eventually.

But emails will forever have tables.

This also supports Node.js apps and databases. Describing it as a Netlify alternative is reductive.

Your example really does not help your cause. What’s 150? No idea, gotta look into the docs. The “insane” SVG example is much more readable, its JSX version would actually even maintain types (cx={150} since it’s a number).

I generally agree with the rest of your comment, but that’s just a bad way to show your point.

Ahh I love black sapote too. Indeed you eat it when it feels rotten, except black sapote isn’t particularly sweet, at least the very few ones I tried in Oaxaca.

Did you know… black sapotes are of the same family of persimmons? If you focus, you’ll notice that they taste very similar.

As Seinfeld says, if you’re funny, you will succeed (referring to female comedians). But instead people prefer blaming everyone but themselves.

Being a CEO or entrepreneur is not easy for anyone, but victim mentality doesn’t make it any easier for yourself.

Reminds me of a fruit I know as Chico Zapote: Inedible when unripe (feels like green bananas and not sweet), then edible for a day, then too sugary for its enjoyment a day later. When ripe/rotten is good in small quantities, but it feels so much like eating sugar that I can’t handle more than half of it.

I guess that’s what happens when you let people vote on issues they know nothing about.

Referendums should be preceded by fact-checked pros and cons of each decision, side by side. But no, let politician sh*t-talk on TV and buses with nonsense instead.

Democracy works when the voters are informed. With disinformation, the loudest voice wins. That’s not democracy.

Basically everything you wrote about GitHub Pages is wrong.

GitHub Pages is static hosting. If you don’t need Jekyll, don’t use it. There’s nothing special about it.

GitHub Pages does NOT charge for custom domains.

You can configure any branch for GitHub Pages, or even just the /docs folder on the main branch.

I don’t disagree, I don’t see why my comment was downvoted.

The browser itself is fine, it’s the company that isn’t — and that’s why I don’t use it myself.

Because Chrome is objectively the best browser.

I left Chrome for Firefox about 2 years ago because Chrome was becoming slow (I was more likely the reason) but Firefox was always “just okay” in many regards. No automatic omnibox search that I enjoyed since probably 2010 in Chrome, for example. That feature alone makes navigation a breeze.

Then last summer probably I switched to Safari. Nice browser, but very barebones if not for the beautiful Reader view, reading list and iOS Keychain integration. Generally smooth but extremely sluggish on the new Facebook site.

I don’t use Chrome because my dislike for Google grows by the day, but I recognize that Chrome is still the best at what it does, and that’s why many still use it.

If Edge supported the keychain I’d probably consider it.

I hate statements like this because even if they’re true they end up in the average person’s hands who’ll claim “COVID is just a cold” like they do with “evolution is just a theory.”

Safari also automatically downloads pages in the Reading List and occasionally updates favicons, if I remember correctly. No tabs required.

For anyone interested, follow the first link in the announcement and read the second section, named What is SvelteKit?

Bu US drugs standards, maybe, but given that they plan to sell billions of doses I think that's a pretty good price, especially because they already got plenty of grants and support during development.
