IANAL, but the law you are talking about is "no fraud", and it's not Delaware code it's the SEC. When a public company officer lies about issues that could impact the price - and these interactions with law enforcement and regulation def qualify - they could cause people to misvalue the company.
"By your logic, "Welp, there goes the internet because there are awful people.""

That's not my logic. You're assuming I'm an ideologue like the free speech purists. But I am a pragmatist that draws lines based on best guesses and cost benefit trade offs whenever one person's freedom infringes on another person's freedom.

I don't want to nuke YouTube not because it has no hate content. I don't want to nuke it because the proportion of hate content is sufficiently low such that its contribution to the world is largely positive. Pragmatism is the virtue, and ideological possession is the vice.

The Maemo/Megoo devices did a ton of stuff better then android. The multitasking was amazing in comparison. Some of basic apps were better.

And there is a pretty clear path to making an android comparability layer.

Also, even if you want to switch to Android (or Windows) just 'burn it all down' is a bad strategy. That was a profitable business and still had huge market share. Just pissing all over it wasn't a good plan.
I don't really follow the used market that much, but I'm thinking the is the best answer if you've got a good budget to work with and the other post saying the Pentax K1000 is better if you don't.

One potential advantage is the ability to use old Nikon lenses on newer digital cameras, but that's of limited utility when trying to use old manual focus lenses on modern bodies that aren't really designed for them.

The State Department has long experience with teaching employees a working capacity in other languages. [1] is the summary of it.

Obviously, "native English-speaking" is assumed, so the time for a Mandarin speaker to learn Swahili or vice versa is not considered. This isn't really "complexity" in a universal sense.

What starts off as a promising rebuttal of anti-capitalism immediately devolves into calling progressives "the real fascists" by equating state intervention and features of social democracy with fascism!

I've not seen that research or finding. It seems we're super early in the potential of 2D materials, especially as you say, as they come down the cost curve.
Yes, but in this case I don’t think they are experiencing the level of suffering you think they are. But if I try to stay with you for a minute and listen to your case for there being a level of suffering that would make someone better off not existing, my question would be, where do you draw that line? You already drew it way earlier than I would’ve expected you would.
This seems so massively self-centered to me. There is plenty of value to be found in the idea of sacrificing oneself for others or a greater cause.

Quite the contrary for me. I suppose your powder detergent might be of lower quality than the packs one, or is not as concentrated and you need to use more of it?
Wait so does an unsigned int promote to signed int for shift?
I agree, the whole signed vs. unsigned generally feels like an afterthought in C (probably because, to a certain extent, it was). `char`'s sign being implementation-defined is a pretty wild design choice that wasted many hours of my life while porting code between ARM and x86.

UBs are not required, but you need them if you want C to behave as a macro-assembler as well as allowing for aggressive optimizations. For instance `a << b` if b is greater than a's width is genuinely UB if you write portable code, different CPUs will do different things in this situation. Defining the behaviour means that the compiler would have to insert additional opcodes to make the behaviour identical on all platforms.

You may argue that it's still better than having UB but that's just not C's design philosophy, for better or worse.

I'm super excited and bullish for manufacturing and I believe we are on the cusp of a manufacturing revolution. I believe we will get to a point in the next 100 years where many of our physical products are created at home, and instead of buying physical products, we will buy designs and "print" things at home. Distribution of physical goods will enjoy the same freedom the music in the 00's and video in the 10's enjoyed, with individuals being able to design and develop products and sell online without the logistics of distribution. Imagine being able to design a fork, spoon, and knife and sell it online for people to print out. Imagine being able to design a cup or a comb and offer it to people to print out.

3D Printers and CNCs are still marketed towards hobbyists and/or industry professionals similar to how computers were marketed in the early 80's. I believe in the next few years we will see the Personal Computer version of home manufacturing and a revolution will ensue.
Yes, that's illegal drug dealing. No way around that. However, that's not what was described to me in response to my original question.

> That’s when “trans diy” options come to light and they helped many a trans people previously.

> trans people [...] choose to help people experiencing the same problem

Did I misinterpret this? Because it seriously sounds like there are trans people out there selling these "DIY trans" drugs. If they're knowingly selling to children in an attempt to help them as previously claimed, I'm sorry but that's extremely fucked up.
Good observation. PC Magazine says the ethernet port of this Dell monitor I'm considering is 1000Mb/s. I can probably live with that, though I'd certainly prefer a monitor-hub with a 10 Gb port if I can find one (that still has DP and HDMI inputs).
In your view - what makes an animal property? Is it OK to make your property suffer and kill it? And if so, why?

And where did I say animals should be regarded the same as humans?

The point is animals can suffer and they avoid pain if they can - just like we do. They seek happiness and safety - just like we do. Yet we breed them in the billions and put them in horrible living conditions just so we can have burger.

It has nothing to do with following your heart. It's following science that tells us feeding the world with animal meat is not sustainable. It's about not supporting an industry that creates immense suffering and environmental destruction.

And a plant based diet is healthy [0][1] and we have the technology to create healthier and more sustainable protein sources than factory farming animals.

- "Due to the orbital dynamics of the Artemis I mission to fly an uncrewed Orion spacecraft to the Moon, NASA will next have an opportunity to launch from September 19 to October 4. However, making that window would necessitate fixing the rocket at the pad, and then getting a waiver from the US Space Force, which operates the launch range along the Florida coast."

- "At issue is the flight termination system, which is powered independently of the rocket, with batteries rated for 25 days. NASA would need to extend that battery rating to about 40 days. The space agency is expected to have those discussions with range officials soon."

- "If the rocket is rolled back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, which would be necessary to service the flight termination system or perform more than cursory work at the launch pad, NASA has another Artemis I launch opportunity from October 17 to October 31."

The point is that Kodak was so huge and had such a big head start it didn't matter that they had no direct experience with semiconductors.

Decision makers at kodak should have been able to leverage their considerable resources to gain market share with the new technology that would eventually replace their main product.

All things considered, they did a pretty good job of scaling down and staying alive. But it's a classic example of "My salary depends on not understanding it"

Not really. This is just the modern myth of that in the good old days, everyone just politely protested by showing up in the street dressed in a formal suit, voiced their displeasure like a gentleman, didn't impede anything going on, didn't raise their voice, and that somehow got things done.

It's bullshit.

"Boycott" comes from the last name of Charles Boycott. Protesters threatened and beat up people that worked with him, threatened shops not to sell to him, and ramped up to such a point that it cost more for the police to defend his harvest than the harvest was worth. His blacksmith was threatened with murder, and a 12 year old carrying his mail was threatened not to keep doing it. It was definitely not a polite "Oh, we don't buy from this particular guy" stand.

Now I'm not saying that threatening people is a good thing. What I am saying is that this narrative of that once upon a time people were civilized and suddenly this new "cancel culture" thing get everything out of whack is fiction. If anything, the past was a scarier and a rougher place, because if somebody stopped you in the middle of a rural road and threatened you, there were no cameras and no recording devices.

> It’s for this reason I see this as a failing of the legal system. If a website is so abhorrent as to be illegal, then you should be able to open an investigation, and investigators should be able to get warrants to seize the site hosting structure and take it down.

They have been investigated a lot over the years, the operator works with law-enforcement to provide the information they request, and the moderators are pretty quick at removing any illegal content. One can argue that the police concluding that there's nothing illegal going on is because of their incompetence, but it's more likely that the US holds the 1A sacred and has no legal reason to take it down.
It's also perfectly legal for a provider to decide they don't want to host such content.

Agreed, though I think the GP was looking for a situation you can't refactor into becoming idempotent. Increments and decrements like traditional semaphores are definitely not idempotent, but couldn't you make an idempotent semaphore by changing the signature to be increment/decrement(source, from, to), such that it only applies the operation if the current state is equal to from, and the source is one particular subscriber? Then from the semaphore's perspective it's receiving a time series of messages some of which have the same identity, until all locks have been released and the owner gets notified.
I'm not a chemist, or a scientist of any sort, but isn't this reinventing the wheel?

Is the above comment really downvote worthy? - because it (“sex work is a form of rape”) was received left-wing feminist wisdom until recently.

To be blunt, progressive -> inclusive -> sex work is morally fine just doesn’t cut it if the real politic is socially marginalised women having horrible sex with horrible men to fund their drug addictions, and I’m kind of shocked so many men who doubtless see themselves are right-thinkers manage to affect blindness to that because they enjoy watching pornography.

Correct but with a minor correction. Starbucks becomes four syllables in Korean. A vowel (ㅡ) is inserted between the 's' and the 't' in 'star', and also after the last 's' in 'bucks'.
> their meanings are relatively self-evident

All I can say is LOL to that. Even the original Mac icons required someone to tell you what they meant first, down to today where half the icons on a car's controls make no sense, and of course there are the laundry icons, which people can probably guess correctly half of them.

> letters where you have to learn how to pronounce an otherwise mostly arbitrary squiggle.

Yes, we learn the sounds they make in first grade. Then we can sound out new words, and look up the meanings of words in the dictionary. Not so with icons. There's no sounding them out. There's no way to look them up in a dictionary. If you can't guess what they mean, you're out of luck.

> arbitrary squiggle

The letters are all derived from icons. The letter A is a bull's head and horns turned upside down. Phonetic alphabets are derived from icon languages, and are a great invention.

> Unicode isn't inventing anything, it's codifying things that already exist.

Not true. As for emoji, there is no difference between them and icons.
Again, I am not Meta employee. But the answer points to (maybe?) yes. When Microsoft used to have 7 tiers of project approvals & Google made increasingly a distinct border between L4 & L5+ in matters of seniority (read: obedience), Meta has for the longest time tried to keep a very flat reporting structure.

Drafty houses are not healthy houses: timber needs to be able to dry out to stay rot-and mold-free, but draftiness is associated with weakened immune systems and therefore poorer health. The draftiness rule only holds for older houses constructed before insulation, where the draftiness is needed to counteract the cool, stone/brick basement collecting moisture. A modern house design for insulation should be tight and mechanically ventilated, both for the maintenance of the structure and for human health.
So I grew up in a(n at that time) socialist country, and boy we had poor TV shows in the eighties. But then Shogun arrived at first in TV form. It was magical compared to those (mostly) Czech TV soaps. Then one day I went to the local bookshop (I was a small town boy, small bookshop, and as you may guess the books that were allowed to be published were not covering the whole sci-fi/fantasy/literature spectrum...). And there was this beauty both in hard- and soft cover.
Luckily, my parents allowed me to buy the softcover version, which soon looked like a really worn out phone-book. I read it like 3-4 times at that time. Then re-bought it later, and re-read. I love it so much.
The system you described sounds nice, until I either: need to share one file without sharing the tree above it, or somebody fixes a spelling issue anywhere in the tree above any shared file.

If I walked into your house with a gun and said "this is my house now", maybe you and you neighbor can have a semantic debate over whether I actually think I am entitled to the house, but we all know that I know it's not my fucking house.
Appropriate to you.

Politics is a pendulum, and it won’t be pretty when it swings back.
I think you've basically hit on the reason: chemistry is hard! Organic chemists would get nowhere if they had to do everything from scratch, deducing the behavior of large complicated hydrocarbons by applying quantum mechanics to the individual atoms. Instead they can just say "I know how benzene behaves", "I know that alcohols act this way", etc. Similarly, when coding, it's nice to have a lot of concepts baked into the language in the form you're going to use them in rather than have to reconstruct them from scratch. For instance, Haskell supports something resembling structs with named fields via "optics" (lenses). But it's a lot to wrap your brain around compared to opening a python repl and typing "x.attr".
Yes it is feminism. It’s an attempt to draw false parity between the sexes by suggesting the woman can do everything a man can.
Yeah. Imagine Kodak came out with a good mass market digital camera as soon as it was feasible to do so--so sometime in the late 90s. There's no particular reason they could have accelerated the development compared to all the other companies designing digital cameras. And as you say, it was only about 10 years until the smartphone came out. Beating Nikon and Canon at their own came would have been a big change in strategy and they've been shrinking in any case.
