That’s bullshit. Nyc has rent stabilized apartments and it’s fucking fantastic. Not perfect of course, but really really good. Those apartments are highly sought after. The biggest problem is that there aren’t remotely enough of them

Glowstick,

Phones play movies. If they make the seatback system annoying then people will just stop using it and download movies from Netflix or wherever

Glowstick,

They must’ve paid for themselves many times at this point, even considering that in 1992 they had a much higher price than it costs now

Glowstick,

The catch is that Tesla has a bunch of problems that might cause the company to be in serious trouble soon, and if musk leaves before the company starts tanking then we’ll have to hear endless bullshit from people about how musk was so great that he single handedly was what kept the company going.

Glowstick, (edited )

That’s my exact point. Tesla’s house of cards is about to fall and if elon leaves before it happens then idiots will say it crashed because he left, rather than the truth which is that he’s the one who put it in that position of an inevitable fall. Though in 3 years i don’t think it’ll go bankrupt, it’ll just be much worse off

Glowstick,

I have no info guess about this, but i strongly guess that the arpeggio sign goes to the left of a flat sign

Google Pay is officially dead in the US. Just got the email.

We are writing to inform you about changes to your Google Pay experience. As we continue to provide safe and seamless payments to users around the world, we are also simplifying the app experience in the U.S. For years, Google Wallet has been the primary place to securely store payment cards used for tap and pay in stores,...

Glowstick, (edited )

No, the standalone google pay APP is just having it’s features transitioned into google wallet. Google payment services is totally unchanged.

Quote:

Anywhere you normally use Google Pay — from checking out online to tapping and paying in stores — remains the same. If you use your Android phone to shop in stores where Google Pay is accepted, you can continue to tap to pay in stores with the Google Wallet app.

Glowstick,

If their constitution is anything like the United States Constitution and government, then one of the fundamental principals is that not every right is specifically enumerated in the law, meaning just because a thing isn’t specifically listed as being a right doesn’t mean it’s necessarily not a right. Voting is obviously one of those things.

Glowstick,

If you’re talking about ads that look like ads, it’s happened maybe twice since the mid 90s. But who knows how many ads disguised as content that any of us has ever clicked on?

Glowstick,

There’s nothing to believe or not believe. This is pure fact. Donald Trump is now a convicted felon

Glowstick,

Same thing happened with his other trials. A fast verdict from the jury means the case was completely air-tight solid to the jurors. He was so clearly guilty that there was nothing to even discuss

Glowstick,

True, but it’s still quite quick. In fact IMO having a few hours of deliberation is probably a good thing for the country, because now they can’t say the verdict came back so quickly that it proves it must’ve been rigged. I’m sure they’ll still say it was rigged anyway, but they won’t be able to point to a 5 minute deliberation as supposed evidence

Some people’s brains are better at recognizing specific faces, and you apparently are at the high end of that ability. I bet you’d be good at those tests where you look at a celebrity’s baby picture and try to recognize who it is

Glowstick,

I have no idea what that is, so probably not. They just show you a baby picture and say “which celebrity is this a picture of?”

Glowstick,

There’s a map that shows where every file on your disk is. Doing a regular trash just erases the map pointer for that file, but the 1s and 0s that the file is made of are still sitting there on your disk. Secure erase writes 0s into that area on the disk, so even if you knew where that file used to be located on the disk, now you’ll just find 0s there, instead of finding the 1s and 0s of the old file.

Glowstick,

And then there’s the famous case of the guy who was super early in on bitcoin and threw away the computer that had the password to the wallet, which eventually wound up being worth hundreds of millions of dollars that are now irretrievable

businessinsider.com/james-howells-threw-away-bitc…

Glowstick,

I just feel bad for him. Can you imagine how much the moment of throwing it away is burned into his mind? And ever since then he’s wasted huge amounts of his life trying to find it because he’s very understandably obsessed. Can you imagine accidentally throwing away 181 million dollars? And living with the knowledge that it could be out there somewhere just sitting there in the garbage?

Sounds like a nightmare.

If i were him i would try to focus on the fact that most likely he would’ve spent or sold the bitcoin before it became worth millions anyway, so his mistake of throwing it away probably didn’t really cost him very much at all

Glowstick,

It all depends on the value of what you’re trying to secure, and if an attacker knows the value of what’s in the account, and if the attacker has access to hints about the password you used to narrow down the possibilities. The researchers knew all of that info and they still didn’t want to bother trying to crack the password until they found an additional way to narrow down the possibilities even further.

There’s no such thing as perfect security. A lock only needs to be strong enough to make it not worth breaking into for what’s in there

Glowstick,

And why is it getting posted here?

Glowstick,

Heathcliff without Heathcliff is an extremely low bar to pass. I don’t know why people upvoted that one either

Glowstick,

To me it sounds like OP’s opener is exactly for people who aren’t contacts saved in his phone. It sounds perfect to me

Glowstick, (edited )

If you just add "hi’ to the beginning then it’s a perfect middle. “Hello, who is this?” Nothing is better than letting it go to voicemail, but sometimes you’re in a situation where you might be expecting a call from an unknown number

Glowstick,

Maybe that has nothing to do with your original argument. Maybe that has nothing to do with what’s in the meme that we’re discussing.

I’m gonna try to reel back my snark, i just deleted a bunch of stuff i wrote. I’ll just say it is good for people to try to eat less meat, but you aren’t helping your cause with the way you’re speaking here.
