>quite another to say "I'd like to make a living as a jazz musician"

Yes, quite another. Not recommended. (Source: I'm a jazz musician.) The musician part is wonderful, the make a living part, not so much. Jazz musicians mostly teach to make a living. Well, there are much worse ways to make a living than teaching people what you know about.
Amazon has changed massively over the years. Check out the Wayback Machine. (Sadly looking at the checkout itself that way isn’t really an option.)

Only one example of thinking outside the box that’s relatively new on Amazon is putting your delivery address right there in the main navigation and giving you the opportunity to change it.

This kind of upfront communication allows them to keep the checkout process itself extremely light and effortless which to me seems to be pretty much the focus of everything they do.
Unpopular opinion: mathematics is a liberal art.

Consensus in the mathematical community is the test of acceptance, not formal verification.

"Formal verification" rests on assumptions, of axioms and proof techniques, that it cannot verify.
I agree that a company needs to make sure it has enough cash and cash-like assets to cover their expenses. Failure to do so has often resulted in the dissolution of the company although it is very rare for that to be the root cause of the dissolution of a public-traded company of SoftBank's size. But again management has broad leeway here. Can you cite one example of a company that was sued because management ran out of cash and cash-equivalents?

When you say "fiduciary duty", you imply that the company can be sued.

Learning New Code Techniques and Concepts from Open-Source
Singapore's older generations speak/spoke Chinese "dialects" like Hakka (Lee Kuan Yew's heritage), but there has been a massive government-led push towards standardizing on Mandarin as the one true Chinese. Hence Lee Hsien Loong's children all have their names officially romanized in Mandarin pinyin (Li), not Hakka (Lee). The underlying character, 李, is still the same.
As a potential EV buyer, what concerns me is that a quoted 200 mile range sounds more like a 100 mile range after five years (so an older battery) in winter (when I'll want heating). That would limit me to driving only 50 miles from my home without having to alter my plans around charging, and I would want to add some contingency so perhaps that'd end up being 30 miles in practice.

Feel free to tell me that I'm being overly pessimistic, but that's how our consumer-hostile marketing culture (in general and not specifically the EV industry) has taught me to be. Rapid battery degradation in typical consumer devices also influences my impression.

Perhaps regularly replacing/refurbishing batteries would help with this. How would this affect the TCO when compared to a gasoline car? I don't know. What's the resale value of an old EV likely to be given the rapid development in the newest models, and how will that affect the TCO? Again, I don't know.

No, www is not more secure because of cookies. As you said, it depends on how cookies are set, which is up to the host, as this is defined in the HTTP headers coming from the server. It's possible to access a cookie from "www.example.com" on "example.com" or "sub.example.com" if it's configured like that on the backend. Also the browser needs to comply. (Protip: most browsers do)

You can definitely send instructions to a lot of modern devices that would have not integrated such a powerful chipset decade ago: not only the toaster you are referring to, but a fridge, a wash machine, a tv, a light bulb, a door bell.

Farmers are behind a lot of fire forests that aim to replace trees in public (and private) spaces by meadows for cattle

Last years half Portugal and big chunks of Spain suffered of a big fireforest's wave in a global attack from Cadiz to the North of Spain. Fireforests started in the same weekend by what can be only called as "organised crime". We are talking about 1.485 billion in damages for Europe, 10.000 hectares burnt down intentionally and even a few people killed burnt alive. This is terrorism, in uppercase letters.

Now the area has ben cleared and the cattle has been allowed to enter again and munch the remaining tree saplings and regenerating vegetation. In this war for the public resources and territorial uses, politicians are surrendering to criminals and giving them what they wanted. Is a humongous mistake.
There is a very simple solution. Have a competetent reviewer look at the code and decide whether the intent is malicious or not.

If the intent is clearly not malicious and no rules were broken, the reviewer should file a bug report to fix the virus scanner and reinstate the developer account. No further explanation required.

If rules were breached but it may have been done in good faith, issue a warning to the developer and explain in general terms how to fix the problem. Charge a review fee high enough to deter any abuse of the review system.

OK, but that's different from your "you can't just take corporate cash and invest it in a private equity fund". If you'd written instead, "having their employees carry some of the equity risk is a way for SoftBank to increase the size of the private equity fund while continuing to make sure that they have enough cash to continue operations", I wouldn't've felt the need to call you out.

This is a sweeping generalisation, I bet there are parts of the USA that are thriving and communities that are booming. What we need is more clarity about what is the root cause of the problem.

The motivation for my comment is we see similar trends in all developed countries and the symptoms are identical so calling out this issue as being USA is a missed opportunity to focus on the problem.

My follow up would be which people and communities are most affected ?

I do not understand this, why would a smartphone distract you if you do not set it up to distract you? Can't you just not install all the distracting software and turn all notifications off? This is how i have my phone (i do not have any "social" app installed, do not allow any notifications and have it in almost constant silent mode - though that last bit is to avoid telemarketers who are an annoyance around here) and sometimes i even forget it exists to the point where the battery runs out :-P

>So if the dog learns to please his handler by indicating contraband, they have a chance to at best inconvenience anyone they (dis)like.

Sure, but (of course it depends on countries and local Laws) it is only one of the possible ways (excuses) that can be used to target someone.

Of course if in the car there is no drugs (or explosives) the only net result is a waste of time of both the policemen and the "target".

It would seem to me much more relevant to know how many cars searched after a dog sniffed something ended up as being actually contraband free (false positives) and how many actually turned out as actually containing some drugs or whatever.

If the dogs (in experiments without the influence of the trainer) have an accuracy of - say - 90% and with the influence of the trainer (or whatever other reason causes on field differences) this drops to - still say - 55% then there will be an issue as we would be nearing the flipism convenience, but if the overall accuracy remains in the 80 or 85% range then the effect - even if noticeable - would be not much relevant in practice.

Or, if you prefer, I completely agree that a trainer can induce a dog to sniff something even when there isn't any, but the relevance of the fact depends only on how often this happens.

Once again, your personal experience and anecdotes aren't necessarily reflective of reality. Personal anecdotes are the worst form of evidence there is. Read the actual study, so that you may learn something. Your miniscule personal experience is in no way rigorous.

The study contradicts your assertions and does so in a rigorous controlled study. Obviously that holds more weight than your anecdotes or statements that have no empirical or logical basis.
From a quick read, I think the judge is attempting to balance privacy and the law's impact on someone's rights.

The Crimes Act is old enough that one could make an argument that it was not envisaged that a warrant to access a "computer" would provide as much information as a modern mobile phone contains. That the impact on the individual, and the weight of the responsibility when using such a powerful warrant has changed since a "computer" was inserted into the Act by amendment.

Just my quick reading. Certainly seems reasonable to at least have the conversation. Law's are written with purpose and to be interpreted as such, not solely based on the definition of a computer today - what was a computer then?

That is true. Question is why. In NZ our beef is still exclusively reared on pasture (with hay and winter crops like brassicas for winter feed), I've never understood why there's such a move to feeding grain to cattle overseas.
Until it isn't. The moment a popular enough app gets banned by google play store, the use of sideloading will skyrocket. If apple decides to ban Telegram, there's nothing you can do (which it did btw at some point).

The ability to sideload is more important than it's usage, both for your personal freedom and for keeping large companies in check.

Yes, this kind is much more dangerous - polite, calm and seemingly logical talk. Only that every second sentence is a lie / fabrication / wishful thinking / unscientific approach to facts. It would take too long to deconstruct the whole article, but my bullshit warning went mental after few sentences and I couldn't force myself to finish the whole thing.

I can see how people only vaguely interested in astronomy would take it more seriously, it seems legit on the surface. These kind of articles are properly dangerous, not the cartoony over-the-top ones. And if the person who wrote it actually believes it, its even worse.
I always wonder what is keeping the world away from WW3. I guess that nuclear weapons make it too frightening to start any large conflict if it can involve mushroom clouds.

I don't think leaders would really retaliate a nuclear attack, since it always is preferable to de-escalate a nuclear conflict than to escalate it. Mutual assured destruction is something nobody is interested in.
From the headline it's easy to conclude that the judge is ignorant but if you read the article what actually happened is that he took a narrow reading of the text of law so as to protect the rights of the accused. I think that is totally recommendable. People don't use the word "computer" when they talk about their smart phone. Therefore it's fair to conclude that when a law talks about "computers", that does not include smart phones, even if they have more CPU power than a 1990s PC. It's up to the lawmakers to write a better law, i.e. one that simple states "... and also smart phones".

Perhaps, but sometimes it's the right thing to do even if it's painful.

Imagine for a moment a person makes the decision to commit suicide but needs to stay alive for a while longer in order to complete certain professional obligations. Would it be appropriate for that someone to form attachments, to be selfish and make friends knowing that he will hurt them terribly when he kills himself? If one of them were to be the one that discovers his dead body, or by the ones coping with his disappearance?

Or is it better that he do the right thing, and sever any attachments that may exist so that they won't get hurt when he does kill himself? To contain the suffering to just one single individual.

europe has also a radically different road network. i.e. urban-suv are doing better here than regular suv because of the difficulties in navigating cities on larger cars and are eating up station wagons too because they get a comparable load volume but none of the parking difficulties.
