Authors don't owe their fans a next installment in the series. They do however, owe the fans a little bit of honesty. In 2015 George RR Martin said he's going to skip comic-con in 2015 because he needs to focus on finish off winds

The maximum GDPR fine is 4% of previous years revenue, or in the case of google $3Bn.

by Traster 5y ago
It's worth noting that this is exactly what GDPR is meant to stop. Specifically, if they take your data they need consent and they need to be upfront about what they're going to use that data for. So if they say "Hey, would

This seems like a Google problem. Google was really helpful when it had a tonne of organic content that it could systematically steal from, plagiarise, and rip off to the point of devaluing the entire internet. The result with google was ab

This is far less outrageous than I first thought. Firstly, the person in question has 4400 patrons at $5 a month. So she's bringing in $20k a month. That's not exactly some small time creator. But obviously the patreon isn't

To be honest, Arm doubled head count of the last 5 years, and really haven't delivered. So it wouldn't be surprising to me that their costs are way too high compared to comparable companies. Having said that successfully getting b

I don't know whether this was inevitable anyway (because of the rough time IP companies have in the long term), but it sure seems like ARM has made a series of blunders in the last 5+ years. The softbank acquisition was a huge strategi

if you’re saying there’s no cash I’m saying there’s no Bitcoin. Getting the Bitcoin is exactly as hard as getting the cash. The only way you have either is you prepped before the war. In which case you’re better of having dollars you can

Basically I would advocate for the government to turn up and check the limiter is there every 6 months. These regulations exist for a reason.

by Traster 5y ago
I don't think you're thinking this through carefully. Firstly, cash does not take as much space as you think, $1000 is 20 bank notes. It's not a back pack full. Secondly, if we're thinking about fleeing Ukraine you need

So the only person we can find who claims to have used BTC to flee Ukraine is a guy who is literally the webmsater for a company that raises money to mine crytpo. And he didn't buy BTC when he wanted to flee Ukraine, because he couldn&

That doesn't address the point at all. Russia would be just as happy to prosecute facebook for letting pro-ukrainian propaganda stay up anywhere anyway, and what exactly is facebook meant to show a facebook user in Crimea? Russian prop

Is there any evidence at all that Ukranians are actually doing this, or is this another one of these justifications for BTC that are basically "Theoretically it could do x" phrased as "It's helping these people do x&quot

No what I'm saying is that AWS is transitioning out of early stage growth, and so they're seeing all the issues you see where the original people who hacked stuff together are moving on and you have to start really focusing on mak

I think this is a transient issue. When you're in growth mode you make a huge series of hacks to just keep things running and then when you leave.... well, it's a problem. But if the business is robust, and lives beyond you, what

Honestly, I think this level of "fakery" is a little... facile. Firstly, practically no one judges individual clips, they're judging based on who is bringing it to them and who they trust. Secondly, Donald Trump could say the

I don't think it's true to say that Europe and the US are equally willing to apply sanctions. The entire theme of the months before the invasion was that the US was willing to go fast and hard on sanctions whilst European countrie

I'm a little confused as to what the actual milestone is here? "We got 13% faster vs our last build" is just... well.. every day. I thought there was going to be some specific metric that they beat. It's good that browse

This can be done through a hybrid though, go off, build video chat, get some adoption and then leverage that to get consensus. “I’ve already done it this way I’m not changing it” is a dick move in an average PR request, but effective.

I get extremely strong 3D movies vibe from this. I honestly think this is probably a worse way of watching this content than just viewing it as a movie. You might watch this as a gimmick but I don't think it really presents any value

This is like comparing buying bottled water instead of using the taps in your house. Yes, technically you can do this, but transporting that bottled water is painful, and at the scale of a whole country doing it, is a huge logistical challe
