Which is, realistically, a pretty small price to pay for free high-quality content. Most of the higher-end channels also have the option to get an ad-free and nudge-free version if you're willing to pay. Honestly, I'd much prefer

Back in the 90s in Germany, Heyne Verlag was infamously inserting ads for Maggi Instant Soup [1] into the text of many of its Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels. [1]: https://gmkeros.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/terry-prat

Even in that strawman version of the argument, competing publishers would not be able to "steal" all the profit because they also could only sell the books more or less at cost. The price floor for physical books in such a world w

Tbf, from the way they were described it should have been fairly easy to defeat the Sophons even without any science-fiction technology; just build e.g. 10-20 particle accelerators distributed over the world and take measurements close enou

A `std::tuple` is not a container in the STL sense (it also doesn't provide iterators and you can't add or delete elements from it), so there is no issue in that regard. For example, `std::tie()` is a function in the standard libr

The illustration in the article doesn't start with the whole set of all real numbers, but with just "a" set containing an uncountable number of reals, so there is no contradiction in that sense. I'm assuming there's

Wouldn't the counterpoint be that those civilizations like us that do not obscure their location are quickly eradicated by others in the forest? So the forest also acts like a filter for those that are not careful enough.

There are comments in this thread from people who read about this in the news, checked their own device, and found it was wiped as well. This seems like it would be very unlikely to happen if this were just happening in isolated cases.

That CVE only shows how to factory-reset a single MyBook to which you can connect and send HTTP requests. There's still something missing to explain how it could happen to seemingly all MyBook's at once, including those behind a

Do computer science grad students in the US commonly apply for patents on top of writing papers, etc.? I'm just wondering where the patents in this pool are coming from, I assume the administrators are not going through the research pa

I'm confused, what do get instead in the US when you're employed? I didn't know that contracts are not universal, over here I've never heard of anyone not having a contract.

by HotHotLava 5y ago
Can you really rescind an offer after it has been signed? Wouldn't they have to have terminated the contract instead? (Not that it makes a difference in practice unless there's a mandatory termination period)

I wonder how this compares to "limited edition" prints of classic artworks, which are also far more expensive than a "normal" print in exchange for being uniquely identifiable.

It's not that software engineers are not capable of doing the same when required (e.g. in the firmware for NASAs mars rovers, etc.) but that usually software engineers don't do that because there is a better alternative . If arch
