“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’.”

Just a friendly reminder that the build-in keyboard for iOS is getting an upgrade with the next iOS release. So maybe check that one out when it is released.
I don’t agree ‘it has the high ground’. It is given it the high ground. Capitalism is all about high risk that can lead to high reward. If the rules are changed to low risk will always result in high reward for a few individuals, you end up in a system like this.
However, the system only works when the democratic systems are sound, and let’s be frank here, the democratic systems of the USA are nowhere near sound. The fact that, what you rightly addressed in your post, capital has more influence in politics than votes have, is a red flag.
So, don’t blame capitalism if it is your political system that is at fault. Because if you don’t fix that, no other economic system will function accordingly.
I don’t think it is capitalism that is causing that. It is the idea of maximising shareholder value that the American economist Milton Freedman injected into the minds of political and corporate America.
I live in a capitalist country with, in law codified, employee protections including a minimum of paid time off. In addition to that, a strong union that keeps companies in check.
Capitalism works if the rules balance the power of the workers and the capitalist accordingly. But Freedman had other ideas and those are bad for everyone except a few rich guys.
This depends on support by the app developer. I’ve seen it work for some apps, but not for all.
The workaround is to copy and paste the password from the list of passwords in safari or system settings.
Bij mij is het altijd een bijzonder frustrerende ervaring. Net als bij PostNL kan je instellen dat het pakket standaard naar een pick-up point naar keuze wordt verzonden. Bij PostNL gaat dat altijd goed (tenzij het pakket door de brievenbus past of te groot is voor een pick-up point). Bij DHL heeft het nog nooit gewerkt.
Tenzij het pakket verzonden wordt door DHL Express, dan is het is de ervaring vaak erg prettig.
What data? Because if I look at the data points for Apple Advertising, than it is nowhere near the amount Meta or Google are collecting.
In addition, Apple is very transparent about what they collect, see https://privacy.apple.com to know what they have on file linked to your Apple ID.
But if you have a source that this is not the whole picture, I’m very interested to learn.
A debate about this in the Netherlands ended with a strong advice from the government to ban smartphones and watches in classrooms.
It does have a positive impact, yet I keep thinking about why we teach the way we do. Is the problem not that the ‘classroom’ is outdated and not serving the educational needs of today?
