It's not illegal. The problem started when Microsoft gave away its Internet Explorer and email package for 'free' with Windows.

The so-called 'free' model undermined all those small companies that were making competitive products and put them out of business.

If competition had been allowed to proceed as normal we'd have much, much better browser and email products today. All the nonsense with Mozilla and others would never have occurred.

The fact was these products weren't actually free as Microsoft costed them into the price of Windows. Unfortunately, until software came along no one assumed that anticompetitive practices could be used in this way to put competitors out of business. Even now, decades later, antitrust/anti-competition law still hasn't outlawed this practice.

Make no mistake about this. What happened should not be forgotten and antitrust/anticompetitive law strengthened to see that there's no such repetition.

—

Edit: don't forget Google is doing the same as Microsoft with Chrome. When behemoth companies can squash competition with 'free' giveaways of key products/essential technologies we've no longer free markets, it not olny distorts the process of competitive capitalism but stifles innovation. Simply, companies like Mozilla wouldn't be forced into devious practices just to survive.

Remember, browsers and email aren't just show bag giveaways, they're crucial products for our modern world. No company should be allowed to dominate them at the expense of other competition.
Is that not part of why this industry has a problem?

In isolation, it is innocuous, and has the caveat emptor. Though, if you get slapped with, you can't be a great philosopher (for what are happily or unhappily married women other than just spouses), you can't be police, fire fighter, coder, CEO.. it's just another slap in a series if many that occur daily. So, the idea is stop with the isolated examples, and perhaps the bombardment will lessen

Yeah, it can get problematic. I got into some infinite loop of a plane ticket system one day. They charged me around £800 per iteration continuously until the charges got rejected.

It got reverted within a day or so, but having your current account wiped without knowing when will it get resolved and whether any money you put back there will disappear as well is not a great situation to be in. Having at least two different accounts in that case is good.
You can't meet the the standards by crushing particles, it's a mass limit inclusive of all particles of the regulated size and smaller.
Some people here have bought into the cuba's dictatorship propaganda about free healthcare, LGBTQ rights, free education and all that lie: Get in a plane and walks its cities and towns. Doctors in Cuba earn around 40 dolars in cuban pesos a month while the government sell most of the goods at 3x-7x the price in U.S in dollars!
The LGBTQ and Blacks are the people most imprisoned in Cuba for any reason. Freedom of speech? good luck, there are minors in jail for peacefully protesting in Cuba on July 11, 2021 sentenced to more than 10 years in jail.

Please inform yourself before spreading the dictatorship propaganda or you become a useful fool for its non elected government and support the misery of 11 million people.

I built 3 spec houses in Arizona. I don't feel that government regulations had a negative effect. In fact, on one occasion they helped me avoid creating a serious hazard. Building houses is seriously complicated, and dependencies are obscure. We don't build log cabins anymore. The regulations are needed.

The cost of building a house is the problem. Suitable land is hard to come by, and everything is expensive. One has no choice except to build high-end homes. Nothing else is financially practical. The cost is driven by unrealistic inflationary expectations, and I don't see any possibility of relief.
The statement does not imply those assumptions, and even if it did, it would not be misogyny. The fact there is so much discussion about this is the 'issue' here and it's toxic.
If I'm ever blessed with a wife and we come to expect a Child, I'm going to have us sleep with a Dozen Eggs in a Blanket and see if we can sleep without waking up Egged.

It seems self-evident to me that a Mother and Father will sleep with their Baby in their arms until the Baby is old enough to complain of Doting and want their own space, or until the baby is old enough to sleep safely alone.

I love "in the Freud archives" and I recommend everyone read it. This recommendation isn't about "was Malcolm right and Masson wrong" -it's about the sheer joy of reading.

That. And the amazing minutia of power politics between the Freud foundation, Other practitioners, guardians of "the truth" and the role of historians and reappraisal of things. Remembering that this is tied up in amazing petty differences alongside quite large events like the backdrop of WW2, the emergence of pharmacological approaches to mental health, splits in psychoanalysis, cultural differences europe/britain/America, and of course.. money. It's always about money.
They have made their decision. You either go with it or leave.

They wont be convinced by technical arguments, because this is not technical. Perhaps it's not even business (at least not in any concrete way). It's just how they want to go about it - because they heard it somewhere, because they feel the need to make a change (whatever it is), because other companies do it to, because it's trendy, to justify new roles, and so on.
I think it’s the opposite, a small subset of them are for small government, and majority of them are extreme conservates

FYI, the ozone emissions we're talking about are separate from the Ozone Layer, which is where the "holes" are. Ozone in the upper atmosphere is good, because it blocks UV light. Ozone in the lower atmosphere (i.e. the air we all breathe) is bad, because it's harmful to humans and animals, especially to respiration. Ozone has a ton of precursor chemicals (collectively called Volatile Organic Compounds) which are roughly any organic carbon compound more complicated than ethane (so most things with 3+ carbon atoms), which the oil & gas industry in particular struggles to avoid emitting.

It's a truly unbelievable state of affairs. Browsers are THE app, but I cannot even ask nicely to store my own history?

Proposing such a tax is a very urban-centric view, however

Except I live in a rural area and that’s where I see all the wasted trips, in cities people just get an elevator downstairs and buy food.

I’m talking about just encouraging basics like, planning your shopping for the week, instead of going to the store everyday to buy milk, eggs etc.

Planning your jobs better so it’s two trips to the hardware store and not ten.

The cost of being sloppy is too low imo and it just means people drive around a lot more than required.

Personally, every time I think about staying my car I think if there is another way to accomplish my mission without the vehicle, or I bundle my trips / get something shipped.
The study certainly doesn't support the claim of marginal benefits outweighing serious side effects.
Ok, this is very helpful. I would love to learn more details about the mechanics of this process. Is this process written up anywhere? Like who approves the printing, how exactly it becomes the the debt to the Government, etc...? I am mostly interested in the mechanics, who approves what and when, and not so much in monetary policy implications. Is there a book that goes over this in detail, along with M1, M2, M3 creation ...?
The examples in the article are radical leftists caricatures. They are essentially straw men presented to illicit a response of disgust.

Wow, I haven't seen anything regarding Forth since the last time I was using an old PowerMac as a daily driver. The openboot firmware for those old macs was a forth interpreter.
I interpreted it as Acxiom only looking at a few key points that they were told to do such as confirming that there were 4.3M rows/users. You would think that they would identity match and spot check a sample...
>Alarmist nonsense

The point of an alarm is to warn you of danger so you can fix things or get to safety. Scientists raised alarms about a hole in the ozone layer because there was (and still is) one. Because of that alarm, the world rallied around a treaty that phased out ozone-depleting chemicals. The problem is getting better because of that treaty.

Hooray for alarms.

I love these types of stories because they show that, no matter how much people protest, few designs which make their way to the public are the "only obvious way to do it". They're only obvious after you see them, and only if they work well.

Calculus doesn’t solve this. Creating a way to solve sums of infinite series does not itself prove anything about the mechanism of the physical world. Yes, obviously motion is possible. And 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 … = 1. But that doesn’t tell you how the motion can actually go through all those steps in finite time. It might very well be that the only reason the universe works is because it’s discrete, not continuous.

If the work leads to the production of something worthwhile net of any other losses from the work, the work is "worth doing."

So "work worth producing" is, at minimum, a subset of "work worth doing"

It's not; it's the result of a vocal and aggressive mob - people are taking care to not draw the attention of the mob.
This is food for the slippery-slope opponents of legally assisted dying. They said at the time it would not stay in the role of end of life for terminally ill people and I guess at one remove, they were right.

I might add I think assisted dying/death with dignity is a sad, but important right, and I am glad we have it. I'm just observing that for a cohort who opposed it, their worst fears arguably have now come true.

I don't use Google shoppings, but I click Amazon shopping ads on some indie/personal sites all the time.

For example, one of the them is a music database website. Its ad shows the links to buy the CDs (it's in Japan, FWIW). I find it very continent; I often just go Amazon to check info even if I don't want to buy.
The hardest challenge is knowing how much to integrate the correction.

You can do some really magical things by laying on hard to the auto correct but it comes subtly at the cost of making some rare words really hard to type.
In theory yes. In practice, python uses floating point numbers for decimals so there is actually a minimum possible move and a finite number of allowed decimals.
Yup, I didn't say it would be easy. :) But initial thoughts are simply that characters would be defined "canonically" (for progammability) with fonts free to vary stylistically as desired just as they are now (for the classic single- and double-story 'a' and 'g' you mention, for instance.) While minute differences within any language should be handled by the strokes themselves or else the final "family" selector I mentioned when strokes are identical (is it an en-dash or a minus sign).

Again, more of a thought experiment of how character encoding might have gone a different way in the past. And because canonical forms would be required for interoperability it would still need a coordinating body (like Unicode) to standardize them, but people would still be free to encode their own meaningful characters outside of the standards (such as rare/ancient family name characters in Chinese that aren't in Unicode).

What's really fun to think about is how rendering libraries might even use machine learning to draw glyphs when no font glyph is available, in the style of an existing font, whether a garamond serif, or brush Chinese.
This is a Q&A regarding the use of flash memory in legacy aerospace systems. I thought it was fascinating to see the hardware used for this. One of the solutions is two industrial CF cards (likely mirrored SLC NAND) attached to a SCSI controller and combined with an Ethernet port for remote backup/restore.
Yeah I'm really not sure where you're getting this from. You can't really "crush" particles to smaller than 2.5 microns, and to do so, you'd have to somehow extract it from the emissions stream. If you can extract it from the emissions stream, why would you crush it? Just ... don't re-emit it.

Manufacturers meet stringent PM standards mostly by filtering or by adding moisture, and sometimes by modifying the combustion that happens. Reducing your particle size wouldn't even help: The limit is on PM <2.5 microns. If anything, you'd be much better off somehow agglomerating your particles to be larger, which is one of the reasons adding moisture helps.

When I'm signed in, it's the same except that it also sometimes suggests somewhere in the list next to a video that's playing a single video that I watched a while ago.

For me, YouTube hasn't been able to suggest properly for years; ages ago, suggestions were all clearly related to the current video in some way. The old behaviour lead me to spend lots of time on YouTube.

When "Shorts" started appearing on the main page, it somehow seemed like I couldn't get rid of it. I somehow don't want to see it ever, on any computer so it being default is as evil to me as blinking ads.

The addition of forced-autoplay-unless-you-sign-in[1] is definitely a case of Making It Suck[2].

So, I increasingly use other clients, or exclude YouTube results from searches. This pretty well gets me away from clickbait rubbish like "$profession doesn't want you to know this!!", grossly exagerated faces/postures, and Shorts.

[1] Welll… actually I guess it's "default to autoplay whether signed in or not, and keep resetting it if you're not signed in".

[2] Meaning, moving people towards what another behaviour by making something else more difficult.

I guess virtualization is its own domain, much like video encoders, cryptography, and systems programming.

I always thought the answer to this question depended on whether you asked a woman before she gets married if she wants to have children, or afterward.
Exif itself defines three main times: DateTime, DateTimeOriginal, DateTimeDigitized.
To add insult to injury, each has an additional SubsecTime*

Then you have in the GPS tags: GPSTimeStamp, GPSDateStamp

And those are just the common tags...

Next question is, what format do these tags use. DateTime, while it's supposed to be "YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS", is generally a free-for-all in practice when it comes to the order of the date components, the format of the components, or what separator to use.

I've seen software write DateTimes e.g. like "1-12-23/1:13pm" instead of "2013:01:12 13:13:00". Whether it was actually M-DD-YY or D-MM-YY, etc in this case is more of guesswork when all the values are below 12 :P

And if I remember correctly there was one piece of software which wrote UTF-16-BE strings instead of the mandated ASCII.
There are other ways you can fail to bolt the lid down well enough and the actual secret leaks. You can make all your employees sign NDAs but they still know the secrets. Those employees go and get jobs elsewhere. You can extract some punishment on them for leaking and breaking the NDA (contract law), but once the cat's out of the bag, it's out. If you accidentally leave a laptop on a train, you're done. If a corporate spy targets you successfully, you're done. You can't have copyright on ideas, so if your trade secret is in essence an idea, then people can go and copy the idea.

For a secret that can't easily be reverse-engineered, that means the biggest difference between patents and trade secrets is how long you expect to have a monopoly for. For patents, if you are granted one, then you get a monopoly for exactly 20 years, which for almost any idea is enough time to make a lot of money if it's a good idea or at least get enough of a head start. But once 20 years are up, that idea has been in the open for 20 years already. For trade secrets, the number of years depends on you. Some companies can make it for more than 20 years. Employee retention helps. Spending lots of money on information security helps. Not letting Chinese companies through the door who pretend to want to buy yours, do some due diligence and then back out once they figure out a few of your trade secrets, also helps.
For me, it's the tsConfig part, it gets more and more complicated, especially when you work with monorepos, the lack of full config examples in the official doc, they just give you properties and explanation, you have to mix and match to get it right.

Actually they can! If a large amount of money transfers because of selling/buying anything it can cause freeze on an account. But the individual value of a card is not likely to cause the trigger. Just like... ... crypto.
