How is this even remotely legal?

I'm genuinely asking. They must have consulted with lawyers and believe it is legal.

But even if their TOS say they reserve the right to change anyone's plan at any time... that seems like one of those clauses that judges always strike down.

This is just flat-out providing a different service than you contracted for. This is like if I order a $200 SSD from Amazon and instead they ship me a $300 SSD and charge me $300, and there are no returns if I don't cancel the order before it's fulfilled.

I don't understand how this is legal. So I genuinely want to know:

1) Is this actually legal? If so, why haven't laws been passed against this kind of corporate bait-and-switch behavior?

2) Is it illegal but just doesn't get enforced? If so, why not?

3) It is illegal, and there will probably be a class action suit, but T-Mobile has calculated they'll still make more profit including a settlement? In which case, why aren't settlements more punitive?
I wonder what will happen if I just refuse. Get rid of apps or phones that scan. What are they going to do, really? I mean really? Am I going to jail? And for how long?

Me a father, hard working, tax paying, I just don’t want my messages scanned, are they going to put me in prison?
10 years‽ wow... I've used Dracula on and off in many IDEs and Slack too. Congrats guys, love it!

You may be paying Nebula, but like all UGC platforms, it can't show you what it doesn't have. Social media video is heavy on lazy "TLDR", and light on substance.

It doesn't even have to involve death. I had a NAS that I set up and relied on, and then when it stopped working, I was so busy for the next month that I got used to living without it. (It wasn't a difficult fix, but I didn't know that, and I didn't want to even get started on it unless I had several hours at my disposal.) I eventually got it working because I absolutely needed a couple of files off of it, but after that I could never bring myself to put anything new on it, because I just don't enjoy fixing stuff like that anymore, and I often don't have the time.

Advaita Vedanta makes no distinction between god and yourself.

Advaita means non-dual. There is no one else except the unmanfiest god of which you are a manifest form.

There a very nice class on the Bhagwan Gita under the context of advaita Vedanta[1] by the vedanta society of New York. I’d suggest listening to it for people interested in the subject.

One of the problems with the study is the expectation that the patient, in their hypothetically discarnate state, will pay any attention to the tablet, which is just one of many artifacts in the room.

I certainly don't pay attention to many such details in mundane life. I just made myself a cup of tea and put the cup onto my nightstand, but without looking, I cannot tell you which cup I chose and how is it decorated. I was distracted by something else when preparing it.

And dying people are probably more distracted than people who make tea. Most people who describe their NDEs in hospitals tend to concentrate their narration on other people, e.g. the team trying to resuscitate them.

Plus the headphone audio setup seems extra wrong to me. If you want to test hearing abilities of people who claim that they are outside their bodies, why use a device that sits on their ears?
The UK has no jaywalking laws (apart from full motorways) and about 1/3 the pedestrian deaths of the US (https://usa.streetsblog.org/2020/10/10/exactly-how-far-u-s-s...). There are other ways to do things.

Lazy is a convenient catch all for "This person lacks the emotional fortitude to do the work when the option of not doing the work presents itself."

There are a million reasons/excuses for people to be lazy depending on perspective.

Personally, I view people with this trait to be productivity vampires that I avoid like the plague regardless of their reasons (which in my experience are 99% excuses and 1% genuine hardships).

I immediately thought of this as well (horse sleigh scene in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment comes to mind, I mean, neither of us has experience with horse-first transportation, I assume).

I just arrived at a different conclusion. To compare the number of people killed by automobiles and their infrastructure, compared to the numbers for people killed by horses (I can't give precise numbers for either, I'll admit that) - that comparison seems absurd to me.

In other words, relative to the population in urban areas, I'd be very surprised if horses causes as many deaths as cars+roads.

Probably the harshest "review" I've read in a while but seems accurate. This is supposed to be the budget ("Go") product and there's nothing budget about its $1k price tag.

Either Microsoft is completely incompetent in its supply chain management since a comparable Asus, HP, Dell laptop is at most 1/2 price for similar specs. Or grossly overpricing the design. Heck even the reviewer mentioned a $300 Gateway laptop surpassing this easily.

No wonder Panos Panay jumped ship. Uncertain whether he signed off on one this willingly or forced to.
43 years old and it's never been a problem I've wanted a new solution to. Don't think I ever will. I remember deriding those clap-on, clap-off devices when I was a kid. Same deal here.
I think it comes down to things like speed. If we accept that the road is a place to be able to quickly move a lot of vehicles, then that just isn't a safe place for pedestrians.

If we go back to lower speeds then maybe it could be manageable in a same way.

But as it is actually used now for 3000 pound vehicles to zoom about in, it makes no sense for pedestrians to be intersecting and sharing the space at all. Just due to the physics of collisions between a person and a vehicle.
I don't think slow vehicles is a good solution because we do need to get places.

I think an actual good (but very expensive) solution is for new cities to be designed differently in several ways. One of which is for roads to be only for small autonomous vehicles and entirely separate from pedestrian paths. To make that reasonably practical you need some other core assumptions to be changed. And also a totally new development probably.
Definitely not true for Canada as a whole, i know of several people who got jaywalking tickets in BC. Example: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jaywalkers-c...

But they did not make the cars inherently safer. A red light does not stop a driver from driving through a pedestrian crossing when people are there.

Speeding laws do little for the bikers in unsegregated bike lanes, mere inches away from an inattentive driver.
You proposed implementing price controls to “appropriately” allocate society’s resources.

I don’t pay Nebula for that “garbage” (although that creator has a very different, and possibly unique, style of videos).

I love this category of product and use them extensively around my small NYC apartment. Moving fairly often and valuing privacy, it is delightful to not muck around with extra networking and internet of shit. I always wonder why the category doesn't get more love, like a nod from the wirecutter, or a big brand trying to make a slightly uscale line with a consistent deisgn language.

One thing I'd love to buy is a purely offline outlet control that can listen for a programmable wakeword -- a clapper that can do "turn on the lights." Not sure if this much computation violates the spirit, but there's no reason it can't be a tidy self-contained thing.

My story is pretty similar to yours. I got tinnitus in mid 2018 due to a disease called Cholesteotoma, around the time I turned 30.

Why call it a sprint if it's not supposed to be anything sprinting? We can literally call it anything we want, so why not pick a better metaphor?

I think that many developers who say they dislike Agile really mean they dislike Scrum. I mean, a rugby scrum is pretty violent, and sprinting non-stop is a good way of dying of exhaustion.

Come to think of it, some managers do seem to want the workplace to be a ruthless battleground with worker pitted against worker in a relentless flat-out sprint to seen as a "high performer".

I'm not aware of any Android or mobile apps. For other platforms (Linux, Mac, Win) there are interesting tools using the Panorama Tools library that should accomplish similar tasks.

Of course you can have your cake and eat it too. If you were to throw away the Raspberry Pi in my house that runs home assistant, all of the switches on the wall would continue to work. This is possible by switching in smart switches instead of smart bulbs. For RGB bulb controls, Zigbee pairing can make the operation of the remote controls independent of the hub to some degree, though I'm not 100% confident that those will function properly without the hub since then there's no coordinator (right?)
Oh yea, that stuff is known as "ototoxic" meaning toxic to the ears. Even since I had ear issues a few years ago I stopped taking any, not that I took much to begin with.

I am not making excuses, I am explaining to you why it cannot do what you want it to do. No, it doesn't understand a grammar you give it in this form. But you can give it in a different form more suitable to its nature, and then it does understand.

But you don't seem to understand my point, yet I am not arguing you are not intelligent. You just don't understand certain things.
Definitely enjoying that irony, although the smart home products came first for me.

Re. #2, I like the peace of mind that I haven't left lights on when I head out of town and also the security benefit of programming them to periodically turn on.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of secrets in env vars for this reason. It is shocking how frequent dumb debug consoles have accidentally exposed env vars. You really don't want that to accidentally expose your private keys.

There's really nothing wrong with secrets mounted on the file system via k8s. But, of course, all of this depends on your deployment environment.

Sometimes env vars are the least bad option, because secrets really are always hard.

Personally I think decimal time fails to recognize the cyclical nature of days. Decimal time is like switching from 360 degrees to gradians. A far superior better system would be to adopt radial time and have 2pi hours in a day. We could extend this to the whole year and have 2 pi months in a year, finally divorcing the counting of rotations from the counting of revolutions.
And of course in the released minutes the details of which idiot made which claim are redacted.

Yes, but if a process gets a SIGKILL, the user is explicitly saying that they don't want that process to do anything else. Otherwise, they would send a SIGTERM.

So a SIGKILL is really the user passing the responsibility of the children onto some other process.

I've been giving a lot of thought to how engineers are different in this way. Assuming everyone has similar motivation and work ethic, I think it boils down to what satisfies you — or more precisely, what irks you the least.

For some engineers, the thought of leaving some things undone gives them the icky feeeling, while the thought of not completing a challenge in an expected timeline doesn't bother them. For others, it's the opposite.

I think this holds true even for personal projects, where there's no manager or sprint to impose a time constraint.
I was an early cord cutter, maybe 10 years ago. Then I cut linear because we rarely watched it, and the promotion I had for directv streaming expired (was getting an amazing deal at $10 for directv stream, + hbo with the at&t unlimited mobile plan). I now only want linear tv for NFL, but I tried every which way to see how I could spend as little as possible, but I can't get it any cheaper than about $60/month. I am not spending that just to watch football. And then you also need prime for thursday. And something else for red zone. And you need to make sure you get ESPN. But not ESPN+ because that's worthless. And not NFL+, what the heck is that? It's all absurd and I hate it. I now use some free iptv sources to watch games. Quality isn't awesome, but the price is right. The way I see it, they have driven me to it.

No, stock manipulation with falsification of bad information is also heavily prosecuted.

Can you give specific examples where you think this happened? You might not be using the correct definition of “inside information” or “artificially reduce”.
It takes time to find the right fit. Biggest thing is, when looking for a new job instead of negotiating the best salary, negotiate the right hours. 9/10 places will say “no thank you” if you say you must be allowed to typically work 25-30 hours a week. The place that says okay is a place that won’t push you. Consider the open source world. They will appreciate paying a lower annual salary and still having a dev focused on their work, and they don’t need all the extra overhead (meetings, etc) of a 40 hour week. Also working in open source (as I do) feels really good. You’re not making some rich asshole richer, you’re focused on helping the users.
Well no, most of them are in the wealthier areas and don't have to worry about the violence the poor schools experience. There certainly still are deserving students stuck in failing schools and I think that's a tragedy. I don't see why that means we should undo a program that has been helping though.

Now now, millionaires need hobbies too. They can't swing for the outer edges of the atmosphere so decimating privacy on the Internet will have to do I guess. Ashton's urge to protect the children apparently trumps the privacy of 450 million EU citizens and you would think he'd be able to extend some of that zeal to adult victims of abuse as well but going by his letter to the jury on behalf of Danny Masterson, you'd be wrong.

From my understanding, Johansson is also the Commissioner who, after it coming to light that the Europol had had a little too much fun mass collecting data and gleefully violating EU citizens' privacy rights, stepped into action that resulted in an effort to pass a new law that retroactively made everything the Europol did legal.

The one word there sums it up: ecosystems.

Yes, not obeying pedestrian signalling is one of the exceptions. I'd say that's fairly reasonable -- if people cross freely against indicators it messes with the flow of traffic. I've only seen this actually enforced with examples like in the article, outside a busy transit station.
