Seneca wrote slaves and free men were equal essentially. The Torah said foreigners should be treated as natives.

You lacked the idea of begging the question seemingly.

> Life expectancy didn't change that much, what changed is infant mortality.

Life expectancy means at birth commonly. Life expectancy changed because infant and child mortality changed.

This article was self published seemingly. And book titles are negotiated by authors and publishers commonly.

New comment by pseudalopex in "Apple is about to make Hide My Email useless"

The TechCrunch article said Apple turned over the real account information. And the older article said this was in response to a request. Not a warrant. Hide My Email hid nothing from the Trump administration in this case.

Part of the law was broad. Part of the law was narrow. How did you establish the broad part was intended broad and the narrow part was not intended narrow?

The proposed law would require disclosure. Not legal penalty for no hire before the projected date.

Employers can reject candidates for employment gaps. They can do this without allowing candidates to explain. Or they can decide to reject an explanation. Candidates should have equivalent information. And equivalent choice.

> The actual way to improve it is to reform the laws that cause companies to list jobs they have no true intention of filling as a requirement for complying with some other law.

The evidence this is the real problem is what?

Many web sites and apps do not use Sign in with Apple. And they could block the domain for account creation with email without blocking the domain for account creation with Sign in with Apple. This would not make sense unless Apple changed what personal information Sign in with Apple provided probably. But they could.

> I have run this for years with very little problems. And I can honestly say that have not found anyone writing to addresses I did not give them at their domain. Simple as this is, it is way to niche for companies to figure it out and exploit it.

Someone I knew did this. Spammers used lists of common names.

The announcement the article linked said Existing addresses on the legacy domains will continue to work and forward mail to users without interruption.

> They already require that you use Sign in with Apple, I would think that it working fully is also a requirement?

They require apps offer a service which meets their privacy requirements if they use any 3rd party or social login service.[1] And apps could block private.icloud.com for email and not Sign in with Apple.

Firefox is more divisive than AI?

Mozilla advertised Firefox Focus to block tracking and ads before. And it blocks some ads.[1] It is not possible to block tracking effectively without blocking some ads at least. They could have stopped to advertise ad blocking because people who wanted ad blocking wanted better.

No. You believed it would be effective was the most charitable interpretation.
