>"But yeah, the last thing you should do to someone with a swastika flag is call them a Nazi. It's a cheap shot."

What you're actually doing is taking the evidence that unidentified individuals with a Nazi flag showed up at a demonstration involving thousands of people and ascribing that as representative of the entire movement. That's the cheap shot. There is no way for any protest movement to prevent some dudes from showing up with Nazi flags and getting their picture taken at it.
This is a good point. But I wonder if what’s being eaten into are non-digital sales budgets. Much of the action is just moving online.
Are you asking that cuz serverless is the new marketing hotness? There's a big world of tech beyond your bubble and it's not running lambdas.
Prime membership going up to $139 in the US might be a breaking point for a lot of people. Netflix just went up too.
I've read about this a while back, sorry I only have a Dutch source[0]. Overall preschool daycare (even just a nanny) does have a positive effect on cognitive and social development, though preschool education does not add much benefit on top of that.

From personal experience, my kids also love to go there, as they do all kinds of fun activities and can play with their friends more freely outside of the school context (even though it's in the same building). And I think it's important for them to socialise with other kids as that is harder to create those situations naturally when you live a little remote as we do.

It's not as if everyone who committed crimes while those 2020 protests were going on got away with it. They did arrest people.

And generally arresting looters and rioters seems quite popular on both sides of the political spectrum. They often didn't have anything to do with the protests, and were just taking advantage of the police being busy.
I mean it is merely 6 months of Netflix for you.

To me it is like a steal
To be fair to Apple, products like [1] - a battery-powered GPS tracker with mobile data connection - have been available for 10+ years.

A 5-day battery life is useless for keeping track of your bicycle, but more than enough for a stalker to find someone's home.

Of course, they were much less widely reported on by the press - so perhaps less known by stalkers? And only available via ebay, not off-the-shelf in reputable retailers.

Review your comment. You link to the entire transcript yet use only a single out of context quote. You chose, from a long transcript a single out of context sound bite. My accusation stands. I was the one who pointed out that you ignored the rest of the context that contradicted you.

So there you are-- posting an article, maybe failing to read it or more likely deciding to ignore most of it, and then accuse me of discussing in bad faith? That is quite brazen, accusing me of the exact thing you are doing, A poor, failed attempt at a diversionary tactic to distract from your avoidance of the question.
I would imagine so; it should be the same problem as helical interpolation, but confined to two axes. https://infosys.beckhoff.com/english.php?content=../content/...
You're pointing out a difference between currency and money, but then treating USD like it's an investment that's a massive loss since 1913, though the point of USD is meant to be a currency, and not a store of value. You're meant to use it at its current price, and it's intended to be worth less over time to encourage you to spend it.

Investments, valued in USD, beat inflation, so it doesn't matter that the USD is inflationary.
Google's DeepMind says its AI coding bot is 'competitive' with human coders
> At what point is increasing the number of ports from 28k to a higher number the right answer?

You can increase it to 65535, although you'll get funny looks from some people. Beyond that, you'd need TCP and UDP extensions, which seems unlikely to be deployed. Usually it's OK, you rarely need to connect more than 65,000 times to a single host; but if you do, you can try to convince them to open more listening ports, or use more listening IPs or more connecting IPs --- one way to encourage IPv6.

Really, the socket API should be updated to a single syscall that binds and connects (or listens) and lets you express what you actually need. Whether it's to have a whole port reserved, or just need a currently unique 4-tuple with no local information selection, or you've got one piece of the local information; or maybe you want a connection that will hash to the same CPU you're currently on. If you control all of the outgoing connections, you can do this work in userspace, but it's challenging; if you're running multiple processes that share the 4-tuple address space, it's a lot harder (PS, try to partition the space so processes don't compete). Turning two (or more) syscalls into a single one is useful anyway, especially if you've got meltdown mitigations turned on.
That's a bit of a special circumstance, no? You're on an island that is actively being absorbed by an ideologically opposed superpower. There's a lot of daylight between people in HK and the vast majority who's motivation is primarily greater earning potential.

Also, there's nothing special about the US in this case. Germany would probably be an easier go.
Yes, in some countries there is even free traffic for some services. Carriers have free Spotify traffic and so on.
Easy to say when you're not the one being held hostage, unable to sleep for days on end.
This has 2 limitations; if everybody becomes less interesting at once, we will merely redefine what "not interesting means" bringing us back to square one. If one individual sets out to become the most uninteresting person ever, a beautiful paradox opens up. By doing so, he immediately becomes an object of interest. I can imagine some douglas adam-esque twist where he unwittingly gains the power to control the weather or something.
One serious problem with this sort of “Kariko argument” is that it fails to consider a counter factual.

Imagine that Kariko actually dropped out of academia after unsuccessful postdoc, as most postdocs do. Does that mean we would never have mRNA vaccines? I don’t think so, I think that, at best, one could argue that we would have them later. How much later? The figure here most likely does not count in multiple decades. It is very typical for discoveries to be independently done by multiple researchers at roughly the same time. This is because many discoveries and inventions are made when “the time is ripe”, so to speak — when other discoveries and technologies set up the stage for the final leap. I do not mean to diminish the achievement of Kariko here in anyway — she was, after all, the first to actually do it in the real, non counter factual world. But, had it not been her, it would probably be someone else, somewhat later.

Now, one can argue that getting discoveries earlier is of crucial value. After all, we did hugely benefit from mRNA vaccine technology being available just in time for 2020. I course, I fully agree here, but again, it is necessary to consider counter factual. With some alternative modes of funding, we might be able to get Kariko to invent mRNA vaccines earlier, sure. However, in this counterfactual, we would also probably get a bunch of other discoveries later than we actually did. Which ones would those be? Are these more or less important than mRNA vaccines? It is, of course, impossible to know, and impossible to figure out before you actually decide to change your funding processes, because the process of discovery is fundamentally highly unpredictable.

Point here is that it really is not instructive to focus on a single anecdote when discussing making fundamental changes to the system, because the counterfactual world is way bigger and more complex than a single anecdote.

I'm pretty sure of seeing an ad for such a plugin more than 5 years ago. Is it now built in into most editors such as Final Cut Pro?
thats the frame of mind that the op is using so talk to them
Certain industries have always had bigger profit margins than others.

Turns out that advertising is inherently more scarce than consumer goods; while you can manufacture as many consumer goods as the market will absorb, you cannot just manufacture more human attention. Instead you must compete for the limited pool of attention that already exists, and established players like Google and Facebook control vast amounts of attention without much effort.

This supports a huge differential between the "cost" of serving an ad and its market value, whereas if you're charging $500 for a toaster somebody else will be selling them for $400 by the end of the month.

As for the huge sums of money: it's just a cost of doing business. As long as the manufacturers have still have nonzero profit margins, and as long as advertising delivers as much value as it costs, it's a stable equilibrium.
