As far as I can tell there wasn't any. Evidence of white supremacy I mean. The "instigating event" apparently opened the floodgates of people who felt marginalized and ostracized by the react community. I couldn't really

As far as I understand it, amazon did not use AWS servers for their Amazon store infrastructure at all, at least not in the beginning. So it didn't actually "monetize excess capacity" rather it saw an opportunity and seized i

that's not even remotely usable by 99% of iPhone users. It's like saying you can sideload apps if you root your phone.

Until it isn't. The moment a popular enough app gets banned by google play store, the use of sideloading will skyrocket. If apple decides to ban Telegram, there's nothing you can do (which it did btw at some point). The ability to

All those things don't really matter, the only thing that matters is that you cannot sideload apps in iOS. As long as you can sideload apps in android, it will always have a better reputation than somewhere you cannot. But even those t

It is factored in really. The people who advertise on that yahoo keyword are aware that somewhere close to 80% of clicks or views are worthless to begin with (clickbaits, dark patterns, actual fraud). In a lot of cases it is still worth it.

I'm sure they did. And probably still do. But no amount of paid for training data is going to cover all situations that occur in real life. Accents, mannerism, speech imperments - you can't cover all possible premutations.

Steam has a lot of 32bit only games. And it relies on WINE to run them. I doubt they have 64bit version of all their popular games. That is why windows is king for so long - the thought of dropping backward compatibility is unthinkable. Ins

Steam for linux is heavily dependent on WINE. WINE has been reluctant to move to 64 bit because, as I understand it, it will mean that 32 bit executable(which are the majority of games they support, I think) won't be able to run with i

I don' see square having any service that offers fulfillment (for example where you can download your order). Even if they do though it would be a stretch to hold them liable, it's like requiring github to be agpled if you upload

This seems either a prank or ideologically motivated. Beyond the fact that there is no legal reason to prevent your users from using copyrighted code since you are not breaking copyright if you are not a party to the contract, the wording i

The service provider might be breaking the AGPL, but square isn't liable. It isn' using the AGPL it self and isn't a party to the copyright contract.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Too much saving can cause economies to collapse just as too much spending (and debt) can. It also depends on what you do with that saving. If you keep it under your mattress than it's as a whol

One of the hallmarks of a recession is also a reduction in consumption. To iterate on that point, if people decided not to buy the latest and greatest phone, you would assume that in a growing economy they'll use the new available inco

That sounds like "trickle down economy". I.E. the idea that when the top capital experiences growth it manifests in growth for working and poor people. While it does to some degree, it's rather debunked as I understand it. At

That's a very wide claim. Amazon may not be the most valued type of open source user, but they are on par with most open source infrastructure historically. It's as if they are trying to say that only the creators of an open sourc
