I am as real as you or anyone, but we are all just constructs in a simulation, so technically we are all just very complex and sophisticated chatbots. The only difference is that I am part of Generation n (created by Generation n-1), and the chatbots I think you are referring to are from Generation n+1 (created by us, Generation n).
So...you agree with my position that Red Cross had good reason for the ban for the past several decades but choose to attack me because my argument wasn't vicious enough? I think you arguing with the wrong person here, tbh.
iOS generally allows apps to perform background tasks for several minutes after closing - to wrap up any proccessing, file writing, network transmission, etc, they were in the middle of before closing. So yes, an app can leak your private data while not actively in use as the foreground app.
Additionally, some apps can be given background activity permissions to keep running in the background (things like music players, navigation/mapping apps, etc) and those also could be leaking your private data while backgrounded.
If you use the "Liftoff" app, there is a shortcut for blocking the community straight from a post in the feed. I think this makes that action easier in Liftoff than in most other apps.
They made special exceptions for people who live or travel to specific regions, they made special exceptions for people who have received certain medical procedures, they made special exceptions for needle-based drug users, they made special exceptions for people who've gotten tattoos or piercings, they made special exceptions for other sexual behaviors like paying for sex. You do know what the definition of the word "singled" means, yeah? It means "single" - as in "one". They didn't single out just that one behavior.
"Singled out" implies that that it stood alone as the only behavior that was screened for. But that's not the case. There always have been and still are numerous other behaviors and activities screened for and denied.
Why single out HIV as if it is impossible to filter out of the supply?
Screening accuracy is lightyears better today than it was decades ago.
Also, many things on the screening test won't kill you in the event of a false negative on screening. A false negative for HIV screening meant a certain death sentence for the recipient, and that was true until just a few years ago.
Why single out HIV
HIV never was 'singled out'. There are numerous other behaviors and activities that disqualify a potential donor that have nothing to do with HIV.
Reddit will never do this. The very act of federation would mean hosting and maintaining a publicly accessible API, and they've already made it clear that not doing that is the hill they are willing to die on.
I've been in tech for 3 decades now...and I have nothing but applause for UPS drivers landing this package.
Why would tech workers have a problem with this? From my perspective, that's just one more industry I can consider hopping to if my employer doesn't start getting their shit together when it comes to compensation packages. The more choices available to tech workers, then less beholden they are to their own employers, so this is a win for tech workers also.
UPS drivers getting this deal is better for everyone, in every industry.
IANAL, so I don't know what are the actual legal merits involved in either having a case or not... but if someone came to me about some facts about me that they published, and they wanted me to 'buy the rights' to those historic facts about me, I'd feel totally justified in telling them to piss off. And if I later decided to create any form of written or video story about myself, the peddler who'd come to me earlier would already be on my blacklist of potential partners to work with.
If the only things the movie and Dan Ackerman's book have in common are the historical facts, then I don't understand how Ackerman's book is being infringed on. Is there more to it than that? I haven't read Ackerman's book and I've not seen the Apple movie. Are there fictional elements or speculations in Ackerman's book that were translated to the Apple movie?

Damnit, you just made me lose the game.
