Oddly, this seems to vary a lot by country. It's rare in the US, though. Guar gum is common, though.
Education? Have you ever seen Kindle Unlimited? For about $50 and $10 per month, you have access to a huge collection of books. An insanely large collection. That alone is one of the greatest contributions to education I can imagine.

Hunger? Amazon's subscribe and save isn't as insanely cheap, but it's still quite a deal.

I would say that he's done a pretty good job on both of these fronts already.
Just geometrically, tape will be king for ... quite some time.

Imagine a HDD platter. You can only write to the surface of it. That's a small surface area, when you think about it. Now imagine the surface area of an unspooled tape ...

Of course, SSDs are a different beast but they are nowhere near as dense.

The spooling and unspooling for the geometric advantage is a tradeoff between time and space. Therefore, tape will continue to reign supreme for colder backup up until such time as some kind of holographic, volume-penetrating technique reaches the sheer density of a wound tape, adjusted by some kind of time factor for the read-write of our hypothetical holocube.

Thanks, glad the games brought joy to you and yours. Craft and quality are certainly central to Sago's branding.

Frankly, I'm a bit annoyed at them as they let me go just before the end of a long probationary period. They were totally happy to use me and my photogenic daughters for a Father's Day twitter post. When the project I was on hit a snag, my immediate manager overreacted and let me go, to the surprise of me and the other senior developers. Recently, during the George Floyd hand-wringing their CEO (who I think was not particularly involved in the events I've described) reached out to me on how to attract and retain diverse talent. I felt like replying "Dunno -- don't fire diverse talent for BS reasons?"

My kids still remember the awesome time they had visiting the Sago office and ask me why I don't work there any more.

Anyhoo ... that's games.

EDIT> Oh wow, 2017. I had put that away in a box. Got laid off, got dumped by brainy hot summer fling girlfriend, and got divorce papers finalized all in like a 3 month period. Good times. Not bitter.
> (Integer) Multiply/Divide.

As I remember it, it had the instruction MUL, which did 8 by 8 bit unsigned multiply, but no divide.

Maybe the Hitachi CMOS version had it? I know this version had undocumented additional instructions.

It seems like the narrative is that the older moderators were uninvolved with any of the recent events, so in order to boost their likelihood of being treated as experts by default, they decided they'd try to reduce the visibility of the moderators who would otherwise get the attention.
> Monetization of user data. Integration with the Match.com API, 'Sure you want to go out with her, you share 12.5% of your DNA'.

this is confusingly worded. It could be interpreted as

> Sure, you [do] want to go out with her

or

> [Are you] sure you want to go out with her[?]

12.5% DNA match would be a second-cousin, so I'm assuming you meant the latter.
Many people don't care about opsec. As for what the cops can do... international arrest warrants on both him and the money are one thing. I can easily think that the German government has notified the exchanges about the public keys and that any attempt to trade coins originating from them would constitute some anto money laundering guideline.

Besides, there is no statute of limitations on seized assets. If anything, he'd commit a new crime (theft of government assets) by accessing them.

There are very good vegetarian substitutes for gelatine, they're just more expensive. So gelatine content can vary quite widely by market depending on the number of vegetarians. Here in the UK it used to be in a lot more things 20 years ago than it is now.

Whatever your feelings on this, I don't think India should continue to be treated as a “developing” country and given special considerations for IP. India is a growing economic powerhouse. It is expected to reach close to $10 Trillion in GDP by 2030 and projected to surpass the US in GDP by 2050.

It is time, instead of just claiming to be a developing country and asking for concessions, it should start stepping up more and contributing to the commons.
Every few years I remember the story from 2000-2001 claiming that a German research lab successfully stored 10GB WORM on a roll of clear sticky tape ("Scotch" tape).

Mixed feelings on this. Personally, I'd switched back to Firefox from Chrome years ago, because I'd lost some trust in Google, and didn't want a browser that required me to sign in to make use of its features. My own personal use case for Chromium wasn't for any Google-specific features, it was the same reason I would occasionally use Internet Explorer back in the day -- a site I needed/wanted was broken in anything else. AFAICT, the removal of these API keys doesn't break any of the things I used Chromium for.

But on the other hand, I recognize that I am an outlier amongst outliers. The everyday user of Chrome probably does make use of and depends on the Google-specific services embedded in the browser. And so by revoking the API keys for those features, Chromium is crippled and no longer at feature parity with Chrome. While I don't care, a lot of other people will, and so those who might be inclined to install Chromium are going to be less inclined if Chromium is now less featureful and useful to them. Only the especially hardcore about software freedom and personal privacy are going to to see installing the feature-stripped and less-useful Chromium as worth the tradeoff. Those persons are like me, outliers amongst outliers. The net effect? Distros stop providing packages for a browser with an install base that shrinks to something too small to be worth supporting. And now, the only option becomes the proprietary Chrome.

Honestly, this strikes me as a tactic similar to, if not the same as "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" for which Microsoft was so roundly lambasted in the late 90s and early 00s. The question remains then, what to do about it? Anti-trust or other regulations? Something else?
Here! I support this! If it makes you want to use a different service and are critical of the giant platform that Apple and Google have, good!

The other positive here is that one less religion in the world is promoted as being equal to all others. I'd rather only have to deal with 4 mass delusions than 5.
There is no divide instruction. You had to write a subroutine for that, you could mask it as a macro on a half decent assembler but the CPU did not have it natively, it did have 8x8 multiply.

That is exactly correct. You beat me by 60 seconds, while writing up my comment, I saw yours after posting. Interesting, I wonder how many neurons I'm wasting on useless 8 bit instruction set trivia.
If you remove stimulus and money printing, real GDP probably shrank last year. These numbers are as faked as the employment stats at this point...but the idea that the world's largest economy is shrinking would be a massive shock to digest.

Because nation borders draw arbitrary lines splitting territory.

I accept that peoples, ethnical coherent groups, tribes, culture circles whatever you would call it, exist and that it might make sense that these groups would have authority over their internal rules of interaction and living together. Makes sense.

Yet nation borders more often than not do not run along these lines. Rather they stem from historical sways, power grabs, wars and whatever other negotiations and historical circumstances.

The full absurdity of todays nations and their borders becomes apparent when you realize that air, water, sunlight, wild animals, money, raw materials and good all can move freely between nations, but humans can not.

I would say he's stuck in the shitty interface between truly creative people and macos.

I think creative people are getting the shaft from apple.

"Here's to the crazy ones" went out the window, maybe with the end of the Steve era. If you don't do it the apple way, apple doesn't care.

I mean, they support the xcode factory workers with apple languages. It's the apple equivalent of visual studio. But its sort of monochrome (like the 1984 ad)

I truly believe apple itself should have more direct/overt support for other software on their platform in a macports/homebrew way. (scripting languages?)

xquartz is sort of an example of this "forgotten lawn furniture left out in the rain". It's critical to a lot of mac users, but they distance themselves from it. Gah, at least bring it indoors when there's snow on the ground.
Well, probably (at least) half of those billion people are using one of the large public DNS servers (Google, Cloudflare, et al.).

Plus, the answers returned by the root servers more often than not include resource records with very high TTL values (e.g., NS RRs with a TTL of two days). These then get cached for that long by the recursive resolvers that are used (directly) by end users.

The root servers aren't responding to requests for the A RR for google.com from Joe Schmoe or the MX RR for gmail.com from Outlook running on his desktop -- both of which (without checking) likely have TTLs measured in a two- or (at the most) three-digit number of seconds.
Looking forward to the announcement!

But his point is exactly that those were not his ideals, but just pleasant rhetoric to invoke the action of those beneath his position to benefit him. It's not a criticism of the idea that "all men are created equal". It's a criticism of Jefferson's actual belief in said ideals.
The 6809 and the 6502 had a 'fast register file' page aka the 'zero' page on the 6502 which could be relocated anywhere in memory in the 6809. These were looked at as an external extension of the register set and lots of instructions could use the data there as 8 or 16 bit data or pointers.

One such example:

https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/01/28/yes-a-stock-can-ha...

> As an example, take a situation involving four investors. Annie owns shares of GameStop, and Annie and her broker have an agreement that allows the broker to lend Annie's shares to short-sellers. It lends them to Bob, who subsequently sells those borrowed shares short in hopes that GameStop's share price will fall.

> An investor named Chris ends up buying those borrowed shares from Bob. However, Chris has no way of knowing that those shares have been borrowed from Annie. To Chris, they're just like any other shares.

> More importantly, if Chris has the same kind of agreement, then Chris's broker can lend out those shares to yet another investor. Diane, another GameStop bear, can borrow those shares and sell them short.

> In this example, the same shares end up getting borrowed and sold twice. The short interest volume these transactions add to the total is twice the number of shares actually involved. You can therefore see that if this happened throughout the market, total short interest would eventually exceed the number of shares outstanding and approach 200%.

> I don't really bother to contribute to any prominent pages

That's one of the secrets for being left alone. Improving jealously-guarded pages - or bio pages that are overseen by PR folk - is like walking on thin ice.

Stay away from politics and celebs. There are lots (millions!) of pages in hundreds of topics that have been rated as high-importance and need lots of TLC ... and don't attract turf-guarders. There are lots of pages where people have added 'citation needed' (so easy) ... when they could have just added a good citation instead. Correct a spelling. Clarify a passage. Add a high-quality external link ... might save someone some research and let them spend that time improving the article. Might be better than the article will ever be. None of those are likely to attract attention, all improve the article.

Start small, build over time. You can draft something in a sandbox, then ask for an opinion before you invest hours. Yep, there are (many, many) rules - and they change over time. There are pages where you can ask for help. If someone reverts something, calmly discuss it. A copy of your work is never gone, it's in the history. Come back in a year and try it again!
It's terrible but I wonder how many people will avoid those items.
I agree with this.

I use homebrew on my personal machine mostly to get more modern versions of the terribly outdated commands that Apple ships but that's .. a small surface. I don't use it for anything really appropriate and would not.

Professionally - for people who build locally on the mac - the sheer awkwardness of pinning specific versions so all developers have a common environment regardless of install order or timeframe is quite painful with homebrew vs. apt.
I would definitely mention it in my Yelp review if they did.
Perhaps not that far. But in that case there will be more regulated testing involved, and the subsystem that feeds the camera to the display would probably be a hardened subsystem running on a separate processor.

You get 2-3x the pay without converting. The median salary for a senior in Toronto and Van right now is around 150-170 TC, and that is generally the type of salary you're getting from the FAANGS here. Some might push above 200k, but you need to be exceptional and do very well in the interview. There is a reason Canada's top grads leave to the US right away.

The CoL is lower in America. It might be comparable if you try to buy a house in Manhattan or the bay area, but the suburbs are good options and the commutes are no worse than GTA to Downtown or GVA to Downtown Van. There is a 46% premium on housing between Canada and the USA, adjusted for exchange. Also every day life can be generally cheaper (groceries, gas which is about half the cost, cell phone and internet service etc.).

The big differentiator between Canada and the US is social. Our socialized healthcare is subpar to the type of healthcare you get through the private plans you'll get working at big tech companies. Wait time are long, and governments don't pay for the most up to date procedures. I'm speaking first hand. Schools are the other big thing. Where you live in the US really determines the quality of education your kids receive, but if you're getting paid FAANG salaries you're fine.

Anyway, again, as my note mentioned, I'm not here to discuss the merits of the Canadian tech market. I only posted this to dispel the notion that the US is worse. It's not, and the supposed benefits in Canada objectively are not there. Subjectively they might be. Everyone is welcome to their opinion.

They're private companies. They're free to decide which countries to serve in. That is very different from dictating the laws in the countries. In one case, they're sacrificing profits for company values. In the other case, they're forcing others to follow their laws. I honestly wouldn't care if a conservative Christian software company decided not to do business in California because they thought the state had immoral laws. That doesn't mean they're forcing their laws on us.
I am not too aware about the reason for this. Most of the states have been divided on linguistic lines. Punjab and Haryana have different dominant languages. It also might have been administrative like it was for a lot of states.
