This article is claiming that his online platform wants to offer that service but they are legally forbidden from doing so. In fact, they suggest allowing services to perform this is a reasonable solution to the whole problem.

Except you can sell through Amazon (or other online store) and they will manage all that for you as a single fee. Exactly the solution that the article proposed for the EU rules.

How is "single purpose plastic wrapping" a cultural priority? Or how is an agency to collect the fees something that needs recreating?

I don't understand why microservices would have fewer merge conflicts than monoliths.

I would not trust my kids safety to "Zuckerberg will be restrained by the possibility of bad press". And at this point, let me say you seem to care about your kids and probably have the technical skills and attention to make sure

That's why I put "directly" in my original post. All the nice functions in calculus rely on that fact, but that fact itself is almost never used or useful by itself . If I were writing the article I would focus on the benefit

The US was the only example given where you can reverse a transaction later. If you use systems in the US that do not allow chargebacks you can do so for no fee. And a 5 minute delay.

I asked how would it change anything. What's the next step if an oracle were to tell you p=np that changes anything about the world? We all believe it. It's a magic oracle. Now what?

There are valid reasons to prefer radians, especially in calculus. The fact that it's related to arc length is something that never (directly) comes up.

I feel like that approximates how I learned math. In geometry or trig you can use degrees or turns or any other unit, but almost never radians because that's harder write. As soon as you learn calculus, you switch to radians and never

If a magic oracle tells you p=np, that's useless. How would that change anything?

They never apologized, but they did make up for it. The president wrote a letter about how the US regretted the incident, compensation was paid to all of the families and the airline was given two planes.

Meta has a history of siphoning any data they technically can. Do you really think those "local only" photographs are going to remain so? There will never be a point where you miss the EULA change and don't opt out in the 45

For measles the damage is not going to be limited to vaccine deniers. Herd immunity is important for everyone.

Why shouldn't I tell you not to take pictures of your kids. They're too young to opt into having their faces enrolled in Zuck's facial recognition database.

In fairness to Bill Gates, buying a ton of pasture land seems like a reasonable step to diversify his fortune. It's hard to find enough non-tech places to stash that much money.

I'm not super familiar with farming, but I'm pretty sure there is an upper bound on how much wheat you can plant dictated by the amount of land you own.

> In a free market, the suppliers would respond to the price signal by quickly expanding their production to meet the elevated demand. Why would they? And you claim to have historic examples where they did?

It was a felony to refuse to register. They gave you notices and warnings before it got that far. Of course you wouldn't get an email. If you hadn't filed the paperwork you would have gotten a written warning. But you did it on ti

Positive unit economics means that inference as a business continues regardless. The VC's no longer dumping money in means no more training new models.

The cost was filling out a form. Maybe you had to photocopy your ID. And if I recall correctly it was only a felony to refuse to comply. The government sent letters that had to be ignored, etc.

The costs only have to include amortized training costs if you are trying to be profitable overall. Having positive unit economics and VC subsidized fixed costs is pretty standard.
