I'm willing to bet that the people who switch to Firefox for ad-blockers and ad-free YouTube aren't the kinds of people who are donating much to Mozilla. People in online forums talk a big game about wanting to pay for products and not be the product. But it seems like people don't really want to pay any meaningful amount of money for a browser.

To oversimplify, every human has an X chromosome and it is necessary to survive. The Y chromosome is optional and codes for some additional traits that make a person male. Chromosomes aren't foolproof and genes and in some cases entire chromosomes can essentially be turned off. However, since we have two of each chromosome this is often not a problem. So, if parts of the Y chromosome turn off, you potentially turn off the mechanisms that make a person male. In which case the person would remain the default of female.

I like that Fahrenheit has a narrower range for degrees. 1C is 1.8 degrees F. So, F allows you to have more precision without the use of decimals. Like, 71F feels noticeably different to me than 64F, but that is only a 3.8 degree difference in C.

The shorts kind of help feel warmer if you are bundled up everywhere else. It focuses the feeling of cold on your legs where it feels less bothersome.

To add to this, vegetable is a culinary term and not a scientific term. Whereas, fruit can be both. Tomatoes are scientifically a fruit, but generally not from a culinary perspective.

I actually highly recommend visiting the JKF Museum in Dallas (which is at the location he was shot). It was an interesting experience. It was cool to compare the pictures of the location with the present day. A lot of it is exactly the same except with thicker foliage.

What are you talking about? Google does not give law enforcement information without a warrant or valid subpoena.
You clearly have no idea how any of this works and are fear mongering based on sound bites you may have heard. I work in this field and I know that Google (at least in the US) won't just hand over data without a valid warrant or subpoena. Now this can be a FISA warrant where the defendant (imo) doesn't have proper due process rights, but it is still a court order requiring them to comply.

Yeah, I realize it's worse than that... When did I say otherwise? I even started off the comment by stating that Apple and Google's privacy features were made for anti-competitive reasons, not to benefit the consumer.
Your type of fear-mongering isn't really helpful though. It just makes people feel powerless to large corporations and makes people try to address the wrong issues. It's important to accurately state what they are collecting and how they are using that data. We spent a decade complaining about Google not respecting privacy and selling data and what we got was Google gaining even more power. Because, that wasn't what Google was doing or their end goal.

Only for things that are on Google's servers. If you have something that's on-device police will use something like Cellbrite to access it.
The vast majority of stuff Google has on their servers isn't really all that useful to law enforcement anyway and Google requires a search warrant before handing it over. And they generally notify the user when it happens (when legally allowed to do so). Most useful would probably be location data, but law enforcement can also get similar information from cell phone companies (who are much more carefree about handing over subscriber data).
Google and Apple are both actually kind of a pain to deal with for warrant related stuff. In my line of work, I most often see subpoenas for cell phone providers and social media records as those are much easier to get.
People often act like Google is just handing out user user data to the highest bidder, but that really misunderstands their profit model. They are very protective of user data. Google does not like to give it out so that only they can be the ones to profit off of the data.

From what I've heard it's been harder for law enforcement to get into Android phones now.
Also, the whole privacy features only make Apple's data gathering more valuable because they become the only ones that can access that information. Google caught on and is doing the same thing with their privacy features. Privacy features are nice, but it's naive to think that Apple and Google don't have other ulterior motives with implementing them.

It would be pretty hypocritical given that a third of SCOTUS believes in the independent state legislature theory which pretty much lets states legislatures do whatever they want with regards to federal elections. But, that's probably not going to stop them siding with Trump.

Excellent take, but in defense of the AB PR team, I don't think they were expecting so much backlash from giving a 6 pack of beer to a trans person. I think it was just a small promotion they were doing and they were not anticipating this blowing up into something big. Right wing Twitter caught wind of it and made it a much bigger deal than it was.

Letting your child touch something hot (like a stove) to teach them a lesson is in itself physical abuse...
One of the remaining 3rd party Reddit apps (Relay) has begun discussing what it would be charging for subscription fees. Imo, they actually seem somewhat reasonable. The weird thing is that every upvote or downvote is an API call so you can rack up a huge number of API calls from voting. Also, while the costs might be reasonable now, there's nothing preventing Reddit from jacking up prices again. Edit: Also, there wouldn't be any NSFW content with the app.
As I understand it, superconductors work best at temperatures approaching absolute zero (-273.15C). For example, Google tells me that the superconductor in an MRI operates at -269C. There has been a lot a buzz lately about room temperature (25C) superconductors being discovered, but why is room temperature the focus? Why not focus on superconductors that work in reasonably cold environments? For example, we can easily get temperatures to -15C in a freezer. Why not create superconductors that work in that temperature range rather than 25C?
Potenially adding another local guy to the mix. May as well get Kevin Love too.

This Yahoo article suggests that Portland would be willing to part with the #3 pick for PG. IMO if we trade PG for a draft pick it would be best to trade Kawhi too and rebuild. Thoughts on blowing it up and building around Scoot/Miller and whatever return we'd get from Kawhi?
Rumors are Clippers might try to get both Westbrook and CP3
Was curious to know if that was an option on Lemmy. Although, in some regards, it is kind of nice not knowing what team someone supports.
From what I've read there will be one year before the new CBA kicks in. So, should the Clippers load up on expensive players while they still can and whole other teams are looking to unload them before the CBA kicks in (players like Beal, Gobert/KAT, Harris for example)? Or are we better off trying to get below the tax apron. I personally think we go all in for one last hurrah while we still can. We'll probably have to blow up the team next year if we don't at least make the finals so why not? I feel like that's probably what the front office is most likely going to do.
