Dammit, lol. Autocorrect got me and I didn’t notice.

Occam’s Razor is that the simplest answer is probably right.

You’re thinking of Hanson’s razor which states:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I will never give this useless fuck any excuse for the intentional murder he committed.

he can’t properly identify risks.

Give me a fucking break.

Is there an OLED tv on the market now that doesn’t just exist to sell ads?

110% right. What a stupid article.

No matter how clear your law is, if SCOTUS doesn’t like it, they can just declare it unconstitutional after the first yahoo with standing sues the government.

If Ukraine actually did assassinate Tucker, I’d only support them more.

Since when do GOP senators care about what’s “moral?”

This is a really interesting train of thought!

I don’t mean to belittle the actual, real questions here, but I can’t shake the hilarious image of 2 dudes sitting around in a basement, stoned out of their minds getting “deep.”

Bro! What if consciousness isn’t real, and we’re just faking it

Well the VLC one was free, and I’m guessing theirs won’t be.

Other folks in this thread are speculating that they want to put their own video player in the store.

I get asked to prove I’m making a legit login attempt all the time because it’s from a new IP address. 23andMe could have implemented something similar, and given the sensitive nature of the data they host and given how we all know that people can’t be trusted to have good password hygiene, I think they should have been required to do so.

IMO this whole thing is just more proof that we need better regulation around how companies treat users’ private information.

Aka good news for almost everyone.

Who mentioned Bakersfield?

Yep exactly this is what I was thinking the whole time. If you don’t set up activation lock, you’re taking a huge risk. I do agree that maybe they should be more insistent that you set it up (especially since it’s less obvious why you need to with a Mac vs an iPhone).

I’m not sure it’s ever good news when Epic wins.

I’m in this exact same boat. I also remember them saying they’d never raise the price on us. I imagine their defense will be something about how GPM doesn’t exist anymore and YouTube premium wasn’t part of that offer or something. It’s still bullshit but I can’t imagine we’ll win.

In high CoL places, rent is routinely much lower than a mortgage— not to even mention the incredible down payment that you have to get the loan in the first place.

As an example, a one bedroom apartment in SF would cost you around $1,000,000 to buy. If you somehow have $200k to get a mortgage, your monthly payment is about $6k. To rent that same apartment, you’d only (lol, only) pay ~$3000-4500.

On top of this, the cost of owning is higher than just your mortgage payment. Your lender will most likely require homeowners insurance which can easily run a few thousand dollars per year (compared to a couple hundred for renters insurance). You also have to pay for the big repairs yourself when as a renter if the heat breaks that’s the landlord’s problem.
