Why would you pay a subscription for a weather app in the EU when national providers are already so good? I guess they wanted to focus on the US market at first because they know there is money to be made there.

Maybe but lobbying is extremely strong in SE Asia. It's hard to distinguish from governments putting pressure for something and companies suggesting it would be a good idea.

Not really, no. You can get localised unification but bidir as a whole like in Rust but you lose most of the advantage of unification. Hybrid systems are bidir for parts, unification for others. But, I maintain that what the article calls H

The real question is unification vs bidir more than HM vs bidir. Unification is simple, not very hard to implement and more powerful. Bidir gives better error messages and is more "predictable". I personnaly lean strongly towards

The restricting law is mostly concerned with the age gating, not the how. You can expect another law or directive to explain how it has to be done. In the EU, GDPR does apply so you can be sure that poorly storing ID copies for this purpose

I think that's actually directly in agreement with what I said. Okta built their own thing on the side without touching the Linux stack and is very happy for you to turn to them. So did Authentik actually.

It's more about losing a customer than about competition to me in the case of Nuvia. I guess technically if you squint hard enough you could say Arm and Qualcomm are competing for Qualcomm sells but that's a bit of a stretch. The

To me, that seems like a misreading of the market. Apple and Qualcomm don't sublicense so they are not really Arm competitors. Plus, ARM was always a convenient way to mutualise development costs without the risk of collusion. I am not

Unbalanced pawn structure is a feature of the Sveshnikov Sicilian but Caruana had done a lot of prep and it was obvious. Carlsen quicky left the main line for the boring 7. Nd5. Plus, Carlsen missed a lot of good moves because he had to pla

I would like it a lot better without the mention to the "West", which, as usual, is a code word for: "I want to pretend my point extend outside the USA but I have absolutely no knowledge of how true that is. I don't inte
