I haven’t heard that talking point. It seems like a pretty stupid strawman. Nobody is proposing removal of Putin by force, as far as I know.

Taking out Maduro is likely to lead to similar consequences as toppling Saddam, isn’t it? I predict the nation will be very unstable for decades ahead. The action is smaller scale, but the ethics of it are the same: it’s abhorrent. The just

Is anyone else annoyed about how this is not very discoverable? The first Google hit for ”MPC-HC” is the web site saying ”MPC-HC is not under development since 2017. Please switch to something else.” What happened? Has the maintainer refuse

Network locks are not illegal AFAIK, but consumers can request an unlock.

Most people seem to be subscribing to a cell phone already. Not us techies, but most normies seem to have expensive phones on three year ”plans” while locked to an expensive network.

Google checks my site’s site map at least every day. I rarely see anything out of date in their index.

It is not ”to the point”.

I’m sure taxes are part of it, but keep in mind it’s a toll free union after all. They could easily do this above board and just declare the Italian VAT as they do selling to locals.

I live in Sweden, and almost every year I discover someone I work with or have friends in common with, who has a friend or relative in Italy, or Greece who farms oranges/olives/cheese or what have you. And this friend in Sweden is

Presumably the wife would at least be able to watch TV on that big screen.

Where is this ”economy of software” which is not part of the ”tech industry”?

Do you mean they need income, or do you actually mean profit? In a nonprofit, you don’t need layoffs unless you’re losing money (negative profit), normally.

It’d be pretty reasonable to take the whole API down in this scenario, and put it back up once it’s patched. They’d lose tons of cash but avoid being liable for extreme amounts of damages.

As the article states, US pedestrian deaths are UP 80% since 2010, while EU deaths are DOWN. You can’t probably blame 100% of that difference on the design standards of US vehicles. But probably a high proportion of them!

But it would only lapse after 28, assuming the author is still interested in pursuing it. 28 years is plenty, IMO.

For a novel of middling success, like Game of Thrones ca 2004, as is the argument here? Why would anyone write and publish that sequel? Nobody would buy it if it was not from the original author.

If you took Google of 2006, and used that iteration of the pagerank algorithm, you’d probably not get most of the SEO spam that’s so prevalent in Google results today.

Sounds to me like they already had at least three on-site visits by technicians.

Well, there’s no need to be pedantic about that particular point, because nobody put fossil fuels on the list of human progress.

I’d probably put 1978, but it doesn’t really make much difference if you say it was the TRS-80, Apple II or the c64. The thing happened about then.

I think if social media is WW1, then the launch of Facebook will be considered as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Not in itself sufficient, but a point that really got some important balls rolling.

Social media was "progress" in the same sense that atomic weapons were. They certainly have their proponents, and they certainly led to measurable effects on society, so I agree their inventions were important. But "progress&

Facebook was not ”human progress”. Future historians will point to its founding as a pivotal point of regression of democracy and humanity.

I think you’re misunderstanding the point of the linked article. It’s obviously about community-run projects, with or without a dictator for life. If you are running a one-man show, obviously you’re in the right to do whatever you want. Why

I have very good experience of Samsung’s warranty support for a washing machine, actually. The thing that makes corporations give better warranty support is not more money. Giving them more money does not incentivize them to suddenly give b

Surely Increased amount of small to medium solar installations would reduce the need for major transmission lines even more?
