Looking at the responses against Mr Wozniak, if they are primarily from Americans, makes me raise an eyebrow. The impression of the country that I get from abroad is one of an insistence on "freedom" and "liberty". In th

Thank you for answering the questions. Quite eye-opening. The situation does seem very limiting. I imagine it can "trap" people in undesirable locations.

Now I'm curious, are furnished apartments rare/a minority in the US? As for the lining up, do apartment hotels exist? They are basically hotels that rent out apartments on a month by month basis. I knew people who also put stuff i

I don't understand why sites like Netflix or MUBI do not allow an easy search or easy browsing of their ENTIRE catalog by certain criteria (country, length, rating, budget, etc.) Pirates do an incredibly better job at it and it amazes

Twitter is about the worst platform I've seen. It's worse than all the "chan" websites and I don't know how they are allowed to continue. The only major difference I can see between the two are the political and ide

Does anybody have stats on the average or media profit for SMBs with software developers per country? I'm willing to bet the differences across countries have something to do with that. Most other countries (and economic unions like th

I'm sure if you used a bus and train instead of a car, you'd reduce way more. But hey, 2M is "really big number" so, let's impress people with that one. Seriously though, the time they spent discussing this could&#x

Yeah, right now YaCy doesn't seem amazing, but those companies have/had millions thrown at them. Those could've gone into the development and improvement of an existing product. Plus, peering would allow them to improve each

If these employees really do think it's a decision between Apple culture and family life, I wonder what decision they will take and if it will have repercussions within Apple. Unhappy Apple employees have the power here to attempt to c

Out of curiosity, does anybody know why they didn't build upon an existing open-source search engine like YaCy? Is the YaCy codebase bad? Did/Does it not do what they wanted? Did they not know about it? Startpage, Duckduckgo, Qwan

You're being unnecessarily pedantic and not actually even refuting anything they said. Using Whatsapp is like sending a locked chest to your friend and a copy thereof + a copy of the key to unlock it to a warehouse. Government employe

EOL should be made to legally mean: opensource or something equivalent. If Windows isn't supported on my laptop, I can nearly always replace it with Linux and still keep it alive. With stuff like this, they can decide to never update

They probably do, but you either aren't willing to look or are waiting on mainstream media to report it. Muslims have had to deal with that kind of rhetoric for years (probably decades), but if you watch Arabic mainstream news, they cl

What I'm saying is if the fix for the vuln negates the performance boost from speculative execucution, then the net outcome is 0 performance boost and speculative execution might as well be removed entirely. It wouldn't surprise m

The problem is where to find these companies. Job review sites are either turfed by companies who tell their employees to leave a good review, or by disgruntled leavers who want to unload.

So if I understand this right, CPUs try to predict what operations are going to be made in order to gain performance, but instead introduced a vuln that killed performance? Wouldn't the logical thing be then to get rid of the predictio

The rest of the world should be aggressively promoting their culture, values and language, just like the US. Japan is doing a very good job of that with the proliferation of weebs, but others are not. Europe barely exports any culture or me

OK, if developers hate Apple so much for taking 15-30% of their revenue, why aren't they: - banding together and suing Apple together - still writing apps for Apple and giving them money? Aren't iPhones about 20% of the smartphone

Hopefully they'll output trait information for GDB to use. Right now, gdb can't call any struct or trait methods e.g let string = String::from("something"); // string.len() doesn't work in GDB
