Rules for advertising on radio and TV are a lot older and consequently more comprehensive, and there's a lot of variation from one country to another, of course.

But at least where I'm from, it's explicitly forbidden for radio stations (in fact it's illegal for any company) to run any kind of comparative advertising that denigrates a competitor's product. It's OK to show off your product, and it's OK to compare your own product to another company's, as long as you're transparent about what's compared and under what conditions. But an ad that mentions a competitor's product just to denigrate it would be illegal.

It would be okay for KBBL to advertise its news program. It would also be OK for KBBL to run an ad saying "Our program has the fewest fake news on the market", as long as they they tell you how to verify the claim (i.e. what numbers they used, who came up with them, how they came up with them, and how you can get them, too). But if they ran an ad saying "Still listening to WQHG-FM news? Tune to KBBL instead!" they'd risk having their license withdrawn.

It's definitely not pretty common precisely because it's illegal :).
The Google Search homepage isn’t a browser, but they stick an intrusive bar across the top of the screen instructing me to install Chrome.

Google’s search monopoly is even greater than Microsoft’s OS monopoly was at its peak.
On the other hand google search and youtube show the popup for Chrome when you use any other browser, and was showing for years, and yet nobody's mad at that pretty much identical anti-competitive bundling.

But no, if Microsoft tries to prop up their 5% broser share, it's really really bad!

Yeah "Dr" isn't great. Let's try to stick to "Professor Simon Peyton Jones, fellow of the Royal Society"
In my opinion here are the pros:

- iOS will be around a long time.

- Big brands and startups are basically required to have an app in the App Store if they want to succeed.

- Every year a new version comes out that requires developers to fix bugs and sometimes adopt new technology.

Here are the cons:

- Extremely difficult to build an indie business on iOS given that there is a single distribution channel that you don't control.

- The learning curve is pretty steep.

Here are some other points:

- Good iOS developers are harder to find than good web developers (feels true to me, it might not be).

- You probably won't be on call as an iOS developer (this is important to me, it might not to you).

Developers are paid well across the board. I would pick a technology you enjoy working in and isn't in decline. I believe developers are more likely to succeed if they chase their interest over their salary.
WhoisJson API
Wow, such an elitist comment.

So you mean endless webpack configurations with tons of javascript libs are more maintainable?

The reverse can be said for SPA-like frontends in which you put forward as the better choice. It's unnecessarily complex and one error and the whole page becomes unresponsive and crashes. How many times haven't we all clicked on a button and because the developer didn't handle some error in a good way the entire page must be reloaded and all state is lost?

You want a good placement on search engines? Well, good luck chuck. Unless you utilize server rendered pages you are out of luck basically. This is also a big hassle. Also server rendered pages are usually slow as fuck compared to a normal multi page app.

I am using lit-html myself and like it, but it's not necessarily better than dom based templating imo. For some things I believe it to be worse. Right now I am on a slow and shaky connection and will be for a while, sites like HN which is a classic multi page app without any javascript loads fast and works great. Pages like youtube and the new reddit (old works great) works like total shite.
My best/worse "duplicates" have arisen since they started using their own last-mile shipping:

A package gets marked undeliverable. I go ahead and re-order the item. The next day the package is marked delivered on-time (it definitely didn't arrive the day before), and is un-undeliverable. I now have to cancel the replacement I ordered, and have to talk to customer support to make them eat the cost of it, because fuck them. There's no record on the amazon page that it was ever marked undeliverable at all - I now have started taking screenshots.

I'm assuming this is some fuckery played by people in the field having trouble hitting their metrics, but I don't actually know. I just know that at least once this has ended with a next-day-shipping replacement arriving alongside the "undeliverable" item, and Amazon demanding I mail it back to get my refund. Because nothing says "fun" like now having to take the time out of my day to ship an item back to them so as not to get double-charged due to their own fucked up shipping practices.

MentalFloss is recreational reading, not a peer-reviewed journal. This particular article didn’t seem to go anywhere. Usually I find articles from the dead tree version of the publication have a bit higher quality a bit more content that can lead you to seek deeper articles.
My favorite anecdote is from adding an on-site intern to a remote team. So, it started with my team being split accross three locations, including the main office where I was. Then we finally got a working student / intern as support who was placed at the main office. As luck would have it, the project he could best support the team was handled by one of the remote team members.

long story short, I was so used to manage the team remotely, that it took me almost two months to realize the intern, as far as HR was concerned my intern, was remotely managed by someone who was remotely managed by me. despite the intern sitting right across my desk. Embarassing when I realized it, but it showed what a damn good team it was.
It isn’t. I listened to a podcast episode of “screaming in the cloud” where a GCP engineer said that only a few internal Google tools are hosted on GCP.

This is plainly not the case. The grain of truth here is that certain linguistic features common to many dialects of 16th century British English have been preserved in most dialects of American English, whereas most dialects of British English have lost these features. (E.g., most American English dialects are rhotic.) But there is ample evidence that many aspects of American English have changed in the past few hundred years. Americans are clearly not speaking some kind of fossilized dialect from the 15th century.

By the way, the term "Old English" strictly speaking refers to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English. No-one is claiming that Americans speak this language.
It's true that languages generally change, but they don't necessarily change equally fast everywhere. See also this answer: https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/4033/do-lang...

> a new mobile OS effort built mostly from scratch (Pure OS)

I'm not sure where does that come from. PureOS is a very lightweight Debian derivative which is built around regular GNOME. Majority on the work happens directly on upstream and benefits everyone even on desktops. Even parts that were actually built from scratch, like phosh, are being built with interoperability and reuse in mind (you can run phosh on any layer-shell compatible Wayland compositor, like sway; and run phoc with other shells as well, such as MATE). Also, libhandy is meant to augment existing Gtk widgetset, as opposed to some other efforts like UBports or Plasma Mobile that require you to completely rewrite your applications to use new QtQuick frameworks, as there's no effort being made to make regular Qt Widgets usable on phones.

Vast majority of the work put into mobile PureOS is just improving Debian and GNOME to work well on mobile.

(PS. Just today I've seen a community member sharing a video of Maemo Leste running on the Librem 5 on Matrix... ;) postmarketOS with various shells, including Plasma Mobile, also works already, and UBports developers already received their devices, so we may see it running there soon as well)

>However, the qualitative statement the parent comment gives is, roughly: “Simon Peyton Jones has an honorary PhD, which is not a ‘real’ PhD, and therefore should not be referred to casually by the prefix doctor.” This statement is not True in the same sense as the first.

No. This is just your qualitative opinion. To refer to someone as Doctor in our culture and our society means they have a MD or a PHD. It's that simple. Institutions who give out Honorary degrees usually ask the recipient to Not refer to themselves as Dr. See source:

Even though my comment is true with a cited source, you will see that it could get voted down because people don't like it, thereby proving my point that people vote for what they like not for what is true.

Wait a minute, you state something that Chomsky never said (the "alternative 100% top-down central-managed solution") , and then call him "not very useful" for this fake statement? He's not saying Mondragon is bad, just that within capitalism, these solutions are still fucked on the long term.

If you really want to judge him on his real-world solutions, then take at look at Michael Albert's Participatory economics that he's been supporting for a while : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_economics

But according to me, what Chomsky lacks in his analysis is some hegelian stuff, so I'd recommend to go further and dig some Slavoj Zizek and Deleuze and so on..

This one is really slick, I wonder how it works with larger data sets. I'll check it out later. Geojson.io is a nice one but I second your comment, anything on the larger side it just crashes for me.

Agreed.

If you expect me to go stand on line at the UPS store to return an item I shouldn't be dealing with, I should be able to send you an invoice for my hourly rate.

Google didn’t take over the stock Maps until after 2010/2011 when Google and Apple had a big falling out. Apple wanted to keep pushing the app experience further, but Google wanted to own the app (and associated data collection) and so wouldn’t license more to Apple. This was exactly the reason Apple did their own maps and was forced to release too early. Apple couldn’t renegotiate the contract and their hand was forced.

Same thing applied for the built in stocks and weather apps. Yahoo provided the APIs, but Apple entirely owned the app experience and wrote all the code.

I like to think of systemd as a family of related projects meant to absorb all the triviality in a Linux system and push it to the mental background. I've long since stopped caring about anacron (and meticulously managed cron job stdout and exit codes), writing init.d scripts, log rotation, and so on. PAM mount (and PAM in general) is more of the same: an unapproachable mess of various generations of junk for different purposes. This isn't coming from some Linux newcomer: I've used Linux for 20+ years starting with floppy-only 386s.

That said, JSON? Pick a format and stick with it. Camel-cased ini files wasn't my first choice but consistency matters more at this point.

I once ordered a 20' cable on Amazon, a 10' was delivered. I double checked my order to make sure I wasn't the one who had made a mistake, then returned my 10' in exchange for a 20'. They sent me another 10' cable. I contacted customer service and told them something in their process must be wrong, to please carefully ensure that they understand I want a 20' cable, and ensure that a 20' cable is sent to me. This probably went unread. They sent me a 10' cable, then asked for a nice review. I returned the cable for a refund and took my business elsewhere.
The obvious question is what type of issues are you having? Typical shit like returning an item you ordered would have a set process. Returning items you didn't order is probably a lot more confusing.

Are they working on something like that? I'm sure that there are people doing so. Will it eventually trickle in some limited way as a productivity enhancement into Visual Studio or VS Code? Probably.

I'm not sure what the adequate reaction here would have been. Should I have added a "P.S. oh yeah by the way Google is also doing this, don't forget to hate on them, too?" line in my original reply, for completeness?
I think the OP thing is bad.

It's true to the extent that, as the article notes, the dominant British accent used to be rhotic (probounced-r) like General American, but became non-rhotic as a result of upper class fashion (which was copied in some parts of the US, producing the modern Boston accent, among others.)

But both sets of accents have evolved considerably otherwise, so it's not really true broadly, as best I understand.
