Also: I wear a helmet or a belt every single time I drive even for 1km. Should I not? I never needed them. 0% use rate so far for me, might as well not have done it.
The issue is that when it happens, you're done.
Considering that you probably don't need to keep all your eggs in one basket, why not at least try?
On this note, I wish providers were forced to provide a third-party backup mechanism for important data so that if I were to lose:
- the email: it could forward my email to at least receive them
- my photos: a copy could be kept on multiple hostings
Correct. All of our food contains parasites, pathogens, and deadly chemicals, even those we eat the most like pork, salmon and cassava. The difference is that we learned how to deal with those risks. Literally water can be fatal sometimes, this issue is not specific to bugs.
The study at hand specifically mentions that further research is required in order to reach the same level of safety for bugs as well.
I don’t think there’s an exact correlation between safety and “what we eat,” which is rather more a consequence of availability and customs. Lots of countries don’t eat horse meat or snakes. Neither one is particularly unsafe.
I fail to see what part of the story so far changes the ethics of this. Not having privacy is still not great, even if there's little expectation of it where he lives.
To be fair, when you lose something, you're not only at the mercy of the person who finds it (if they do), but you're also asking a complete stranger to do something for you.
If I have time I could drive across town to deliver something to you, if I don't I'll leave it there.
> Ask yourself why humans refrained from eating them
Plenty of humans don't eat plenty of meats and sea animals either. Traditions don't necessarily contain good wisdom.
I think seeing a bug feast on feces and then having it sneak up on your food stashes might trigger an obvious reaction (similar to pigs and the reason why some don't eat them)

I could say the same about Passwords. I'm happy that they * finally * got passwords out of that relic called Keychain Access and into the System Preferences, but they could do even more.
I hope to see an actual "online security" center on iOS and macOS within 2 years, with passwords, temporary emails, even learning material.
I had some issues with my iCloud "Hide my email" once too when trying to contact support. Either they weren't getting my emails or they were purposefully ignoring my refund requests until I contacted my card company. It is an extra step to worry about, but if your setup is good enough (e.g. use iCloud and use Mail.app), then it's probably going to be easier.
Most of your points are also about price. You could subscribe to all of them and also buy all the stuff even from outside market if you had money. I bet that’s still more convenient than hoping to find your whole series in decent quality right now.
> ut not being able to watch a movie because your internet connection is down
Some services allow you to download movies beforehand just like you would have to do with pirated movies.
Yes and you can use rsync instead of Dropbox ($10B)
People are willing to pay for convenience. Your mutt isn’t going to automatically find all large attachment, downsize them or handle inline images, but you didn’t read the article so you wouldn’t know that.
Gotta thank Zoom for supplying a new excuse to not install Zoom on my Mac. I’ve been using it from iOS every time I had to and then deleting it afterwards.
If anyone asks me when I’m on my phone, I tell them I don’t trust Zoom.
I must say that this looks amazing on my phone. Spacing, font, sidebar, and lack of header are chef’s kiss. I would however potentially add a dismissible welcome text as a header to describe what I’m looking at.
My guess is that the "trigger" for "any other country" is much higher.
