is there any blog which also explains SSH? I would like a full-fledged book as a last option.

This doesn't apply in this case because Apple is not stupid. They are not gonna ignore a court ruling because it will land their execs in jail. Rather than that, they will use legal means such as appealing the ruling. They are a 2T$ co

By your argument, we CAN commit murder, but it has a very high probability of additional adverse consequences (such as life in prison)

where will they leave? 50% of market is Apple's and majority of people play games on their mobile phones and not on dedicated setups.

His argument was that if you don't pay all the time and get caught some of the times, then you only have to pay some of the time. If fees is $100 each time and you don't pay 100 times and get caught only 50 times, then you only pa

Very good point. I believe that the judge just gave a slap on the wrist to Epic Games with that fine (that's why it was equal to just the "back-pay") for breaking a contract (which is wrong, legally speaking.) I believe the j

Afaik they cannot ignore a ruling. And they don't need 30% fees for maintaining IOS ecosystem - when you buy an apple phone for $1000, you pay Apple enough for it to maintain its AppStore. Also they earn money from AppStore advertising

Does this also apply (as precedent) to Epic vs Google?

why not use ublock origin, rather than buy youtube premium? UO will remove every single ad in browser. It's obviously 100% fine to buy premium; I am just curious about the reasons, if any.

"Nothing matters" - that's a very soothing thought. It's soothing because we all focus of what we haven't / couldn't done. It's human mentality to think of bad things over good things. So if nothing m

Is nihilism or hedonism bad? A lot of people already live their lives for pleasure (hedonism) - people work their entire lives to earn money to either enjoy / vacation / sex / etc. Nihilism is considerably rare but I believe

I understand your solution, but is it really "Dynamic Programming"? DP requires that the problem can be broken down into subproblems. Also your method requires just quadratic time, right? (It's still pseudo-polynomial though.

I haven't read the book. Can you please summarize Richard Dawkins's explanation? I am quite curious how something this complex can be generated by nature.

Long ago, there were 2 companies - one welcomed unions and the other stopped unions. The one which welcomed unions lost it's profit margin and the other "predatory" company kept it's profit margins and grew more aggressi

That makes sense. Personally, I am not a fan of these ads because their frequency depends on who's willing to pay the most. Also, ads mean that not they are actively looking for revenue. So it's just a matter of time before more t

I see. On a counterpoint, the new owners bought this company for billions of dollars. Don't you think they have the right to show ads to get money back? And stackoverflow is so important that it's impossible to not use it. I am ju

I have been using stackoverflow for years and this is the first time I saw these type of ads. That's why I correlated it with their acquisition.

I agree - it's incredible. First flight of Wright Brothers lasted about 8 seconds. For initial flights, I would not consider time spent in space as the most important metric.

You may be right. But still for the sake of discussion, I would argue that their mission required only 1 responsibility - that you be there. Even if they orbit around the Earth, modern spacecrafts are designed in such a way that crew member

In my opinion, they are still doing incredible work. SpaceX and Blue Origin can both bring their rockets down - no government space agency can do this today (and govt space agencies had a 60 year lead) Privatization helps because NASA canno

Interesting attribution to conditioning via TV show characters. What was the difference in people's behaviours?
