you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use
So you’re applying your own personal preference and beliefs. Saying “all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust” is just you applying your preferences and beliefs to someone else’s personal decision.
especially since with every response you sound more and more hostile.
Do I? How so? You made a statement of fact (all the while this is a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust) about someone else’s choice and situation without any information to directly support it (you are asking for the impossible as they did not disclose what service do they use).
Calling my questioning and pushback “hostile” seems like bad-jacketing to me. Maybe you’re getting defensive?
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 weeks ago:
with that in mind, do you think they have control over their information?
It’s not about what I think, they have control over whether to share their location data with a 3rd party or not. By definition that is control. They also have control to stop sharing that data at any time.
Do you have anything to support that the specific system used by the original commenter is using that data in a manner not agreed to when they shared it or in a way that the original commenter doesn’t agree to?
Or are you applying your own personal preferences and beliefs to someone else’s situation?

Privacy generally means the ability to control your personal information and how it’s used, as well as your freedom from intrusion and observation.
If you knowingly opt in it’s not really a breach of privacy. They’re choosing to allow a 3rd party access to that information which doesn’t fit with your preferences but it’s not really a breach of privacy or trust.

The original commenter explained they and their spouse share their location.
You said it was a breach of trust and privacy.
My question was “How? My situation is similar to the person you’re replying to and I’m curious how two consenting adults sharing their location with each other is ‘a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust’.”
I understand now that you didn’t mean that it was a breach of trust and privacy literally, obviously they’ve both opted in, but you used that to express your own preference.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 weeks ago:
at that point that difference would not matter to me
Got it. Seems like you’re applying your preference to the original commenters situation; that’s where I was getting confused.

Maybe it’s age talking but I’m at the point where my goal is the job that pays me the most for the least amount of time spent working.
I’m much happier working my “845” (8am-4pm 5 days a week, ideally less) and then being done so I can spend as much time enjoying my life.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 2 weeks ago:
I get that it’s not privacy focused; so much these days isn’t, but I’m still not understanding how two adults knowingly enabling location sharing via a 3rd party service is “a major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust”.
I’m gathering that your intent was more along the lines of “it’s not very privacy conscious since you have no control over how the 3rd party uses that data or any way to control it”, would that be accurate?
- Comment on Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule 2 weeks ago:
I would not.

How? My situation is similar to the person you’re replying to and I’m curious how two consenting adults sharing their location with each other is “ la major breach of privacy, for both parties, and also of trust”.
Maybe if one party is unwilling or has no say/control in location sharing but specifically in the scenario at hand I don’t see it.

They do t want a reflection of society as a whole, they want an amplifier for their echo chamber.
- Comment on Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule 2 weeks ago:
known as “996,” or 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. In other words, it’s a 72-hour work week
Tl;dr

Really depends on the restaurant.
The smaller or local places where we are have all mostly switched to the handheld mobile devices.
The fast food places are all still front register POS style.
The larger chains or fancier restaurants are mostly still take your card away and run it then return for a signature.
I imagine the holdouts either don’t want to make the technological and cost investment to update (big chains) or they feel the mobile device is too “low class” (fancier restaurants).

I’m not the person you’re replying to but the one thing I’ve found them helpful for is targeted search.
I can ask it a question and then access its sources from whatever response it generates to read and review myself.
Kind of a simpler, free LexisNexis.

When it comes to LLMs, they cannot do any work that you yourself do not understand.
And even if they could how would you ever validate it if you can’t understand it.
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 2 weeks ago:
I understand that, but bringing one of these sensors into the courtroom and turning on a Dyson air wrap, spraying hairspray, using baby powder etc. and then comparing the results would show the susceptibility of these to be wrong.
It’s a demonstrably flawed system so you just need to demonstrate the system in action.
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 2 weeks ago:
The burden is on the plaintiff, not the defendant. Whomever brings the suit needs to prove that it’s more likely than not that they’re were incorrectly fined.
Since these devices se to basically be VOC sensors it wouldn’t be that hard to do this.

A lawyer will send a demand letter, not an affidavit.
An affidavit is for sworn testimony given under oath by someone who is unwilling or unable to appear on the witness stand.
A demand letter is a formal written request for action or payment prior with a threat of legal action for noncompliance.
If they ignore the demand letter then the next step is a civil suit. Depending on the amount this might end up in small claims. Also, tort cases only require a preponderance of evidence.
A preponderance of evidence essentially means you only have to prove something is more likely than not which, in this case, would be pretty easy. The big issue is the expense of this process almost makes it not worth it.
The American legal system favors those with resources.

I found that as I got older I got more confident in general. I think mostly it’s just about being comfortable with who you are so you can be your genuine self around others.
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 3 weeks ago:
But when she disputed the charge with her credit card company, they sided with the hotel after it provided the credit card company the same smoke report it sent her.
They tried that. If the credit card denies it you could have a lawyer send a letter threatening legal action but that’s all going to be at an extra cost unless you know and attorney or they think they could make enough to o do it on spec.

That’s nice! Here the transit rules say only in a carrier which doesn’t work with two 60lb. dogs. Even if the rules changed tomorrow the other riders would be mad if you did.
The US doesn’t just have terrible public transit but there’s also terrible culture around the public transit we do have.

I wish we had better transit here. I hate driving but, as you said, have to because there’s no better solutions.
Are pets allowed on public transit in the UK/Europe?

Yeah, I was referring more to the behavior in court since I didn’t know anything about the actual events leading to the charges.
The behavior described in the article strongly reminded me of some relatives who had bi-polar disorder.
- Comment on I've never seen a case like Constance Marten and Mark Gordon's - it was jaw-dropping 3 weeks ago:
I read the article and the whole thing screams mental illness to me.
Not in the UK so this is the first time hearing about this but was there ever an assessment to that extent? Or are these two just that cold and calculating that it was all an act?

I think Americano was created by American GIs in Italy during WWI. They diluted espresso with hot water to make it more like traditional American coffee at the time.
There’s also evidence of the term Cafe Americano in Central American Spanish.
Australia and New Zealand also have the long black which is like an Americano but you add the espresso over the water to maintain the crema and get a stronger flavor.

Have you tried flying a drone into any kind of protected airspace, like these places? I can engage in whataboutism too.
If you really believe it’s that hard to get into a sports stadium or other high profile event you might want to read up on Dion Rich.
Or maybe think back to the recent past about Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Maybe consider how loud and conspicuous drones actually are.
Or maybe read the US Army’s land warfare paper about drone attacks.
There might, maybe even likely will, come a day when drones can be used effectively in the manner proposed but it’s not today.
