I for one, wished for the same thing.

Alas, once Apple came out with its shiny Aqua UI (which I must say was beautify in a totally different way), Microsoft was too insecure not to try and match that. They failed miserably in Windows XP, which felt rushed, forced, and contrived. But it certainly looked more colorful.

Years ago I read Herodotus' Histories and it left a big impression on me. I believe it mostly takes place around 2kBc but you realize that psychologically the people are pretty much the same as modern people. That's not to say they act the same because the cultural norms are different but at the end of the day basically all the actions they take are relatable from some perspective.

And this got me thinking how far back this applies, and my personal guess is pretty far, maybe even 100k years. When I hear stories like this, I like to imagine that they were basically modern humans, doing all the same stuff we do today, just under very different sets of norms.

I was thinking more about the lack of testsuites for everything related to network protocols, such as DNS, HTTP or WebSockets and WebRTC.

The RFCs related to DNS are an endless list of deprecations that you have to "merge" in your head until you actually know what is allowed, what is deprecated, and what was extended. Especially with EDNS and all its options that are somewhat somewhere on the IANA website.

Before that, I realized that not a single server implementation implements HTTP's 206 Partial Content and/or Transfer-Encodings as specified; and lots of servers even reply with wrong buffer sizes when requesting multiple Content Ranges.

When reading through the Chromium and Firefox codebases, there's always dirty hacks that are implementation specific, so there isn't any end-to-end networked-only testsuite that verifies the network states and behaviours.

For my own Browser Stealth [1] I had to create a testsuite because I couldn't find anyone that's not related to known SSL attack vectors. Due to the peer-to-peer concept I decided to test network behaviours wherever possible.

The network protocols themselves (when speaking of RFCs) are just not tested, and freely interpreted at will - even in older projects like apache, caddy, curl, libaria and others. When reading the curl codebase you'll soon realize that it is a huge collection of hacks he had to implement just to make things work when the servers were behaving incompliant to the specifications.

The way I understand complement like it’s defined in the article is: something you buy from different players to use with your product. Cars/gas, Hardware/SW.

It’s not something you need to produce your product in the first place, like steel for car manufacturers. Thus, I don’t think your examples qualify tbh.
Yeah, no, this is not correct.

Trade from other countries to Cuba is still incredibly limited because of secondary sanctions to entities that deal with Cuba. Go spend some time in Cuba and you'll see what that means in practice - equipment is bought above market price and smuggled routinely.

CashApp, Venmo, Apple Pay, PayPal and even Zelle are actually more common than I would have thought among sex workers; way more popular than crypto. CashApp especially as CashApp does not reveal your real name.

It's not that Gaetz was a "genius" for using CashApp, it's already incredibly common. I don't believe most sex workers and their clients consider police enforcement a real threat, especially given how lax prostitution laws are enforced if you keep out of the public eye. Most sex workers are probably more worried about men who would leak their info or stalk them. So in terms of relative importance privacy is a top concern, but having a traceable ledger isn't (because the police are unlikely to spend the money to throw you behind bars). In fact it's harder to get infromatino from CashApp than it is from Bitcoin. After all a SW's wallet is probably public and at this stage of the investigation it wouldn't be hard to get Gaetz wallet as well.

That said, if I were Gaetz and for whatever reason I needed to pay minors for sex I'd seek help. Failing that I would probably exclusively use cash or dead drops.
Respectfully, you seem to be confusing correlation with causation. A very common mistake.

I don't believe that drowning deaths are caused by ice cream sales either, but I can easily prepare the data in a way that makes that appear like a solid assertion.

Nobody actually knows what people were in deep north 10000 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komsa_culture

But they were definitely not Saami. If they were ancestors they could be called Proto-Finnic, from which Saami arose 3000-5000 years ago.

The 10000 year Saami story was mostly pushed by Norwegians, because stating that people of Finnmark were ancestors of Finns, it may cause land claims aka "Greater Finland". They even invented new ethnicity for Finns who moved to Norway in 1800's.
Cuba already is quite prosperous, amongst the best in South America and more prosperous than the average.

Ok, but we don't need that much energy. Something close to 200 petawatts continuously strike the surface. Humanity uses something like 15 terawatts. To fully cover our energy needs we'd need to capture less than 1 in 10,000 watts or 0.01% of the sun's energy hitting earth. But I don't think 100% solar is anyone's goal. So we'd need to capture less than that.

So it seems to me that we could absolutely cover a significant amount of our energy use.
Indeed, without a type-class constraint on the type constructor this isn't useful at all.

Something like the following Scala 3 code is closer to the actual intend, I think:

@main def entryPoint =

trait ConsoleLogger[W[_]]:
extension[E] (w: W[E]) def log(): Unit

given ConsoleLogger[List] with
extension[A] (list: List[A]) def log() = println(list)

given ConsoleLogger[Some] with
extension[A] (some: Some[A]) def log() = println(some)

def process[E, L[_] : ConsoleLogger](input: L[E]): Unit =
input.log()

process(List(23))
process(Some("'process' is generic!"))
//process(None) // Does not compile — even Some and None are interchangeable under subtype polymorphism

Here process(input) can work with any wrapped input as long as a ConsoleLogger instance is given for a specific wrapper type. The point is: There doesn't need to be any relation between the wrapper types (like in the example with List and Option.Some), only the "shape" needs to match W[_] (which could be actually also adapted with type lambdas in case it doesn't match, but not going into this here).

You quote it but seem to deliberately ignore a key part of the quote in your own comment:

If the woman in question was a minor at the time it constitutes trafficking and similar crimes by definition in many jurisdictions.

You've somehow missed both the "in exchange for sex" and "with a minor" part? This one doesn't seem difficult or ambiguous at all. This is clearly trafficking.

Complements are essentially the "ecosystem" around your product. In a traditional microeconomics text, they're the goods that are commonly purchased alongside your product. So PCs, monitors, keyboards, and mice are all complements.

Re-reading my comment, I see some of the confusion. If you think of each of these companies as a reseller of books/websites/computers/rides, then those goods are not their complements; they're their suppliers. If you think of them as a marketplace that provides a service to find books/websites/[okay Apple makes no sense here]/rides and then takes a cut for their value-add, then they are complements: the driver and the service to find the driver are separate goods that must be booked together. There are substantial legal battles around which is a better model for the tech industry: Elizabeth Warren's campaign to prevent tech companies from also owning services that compete on their platform assumes they are marketplaces, the employee/1099 classification lawsuit assumes that they are resellers, the Australian law to force Google to pay publishers assumes they are resellers.

I could probably have picked clearer examples, eg. cheap TVs and floppy disks really are complements for 1975 Apple but chips are suppliers, while Amazon's own business plan implies that it's a retailer rather than a marketplace. Google is still a pretty good example, though: Google does not sell websites (or didn't in the 1990s, at least), but the need for a search engine arose out of there being many websites around.

Venmo also just scans your phone book (I believe) and adds contacts it finds in your 'friends' feed. I have quite a few professional contacts who are quite different in the way they express themselves with their friends than in the professional setting (as one would expect).

>. The US had incredibly high involvement in the Turkish military as a result of NATO.

This doesn't make it easier for them to project power there, they invested more into projecting power there. It's still far easier for a bordering state, and if Turkey had ever hinted at altering the strait agreement the USSR likely would have spent more projecting power there.

Really, I have no idea what your point is anymore. Nothing you've said has suggested that Turkey, Syria, and Iraq would have been occupied for the past century if they had a canal. I only brought up NATO to demonstrate that the countries already held strategic importance.

"Books" as a mass noun is a commodity, "books" as a plural noun is differentiated. (Somewhat by definition: anything that you think of as a mass noun is a commodity.) Amazon's goal was to get you to think of "books" as a mass noun, and among the general public, they largely succeeded. Book aficionados still think in terms of books as individual, differentiated titles, but these people are much more likely to go to small independent bookstores (where they will get individual, differentiated attention) than Amazon. The general public thinks "If I happen to need a book, I'll find it on Amazon".
Sure, but violating those embargoes is not a crime. It might (but isn't likely to) violate some contract between the company and the newspaper - which is also not a crime, but may open up the possibility for a civil claim; it might cause the newspaper to stop receiving future releases; it might result in the journalist getting fired, but nothing about violating such embargoes would be criminally prosecutable by the state.
