I don't think we need a world government to make progress on that point. The companies buying these services, are buying them from other companies. Countries or larger blocks like the EU can exert significant pressure on such companies

IIRC Windows is testing to turn that nag screen into a "no you don't". Which is such BS given all the evidence we have that malware vendors and bad actors have and continue to get their malware signed by MS because they simpl

It's arbitrary in the sense that the process to arrive at that line is arbitrary and could and has yielded myriads of other lines. In the same sense that skin color is a very clearly measurable trait, and yet the implications derived f

This is an ethical question and there will be no simple or clear cut answers, as an engineer myself I know that can be frustrating. Personally I project my experience of the world onto other beings - of course that's fraught with issue

On the receiving side sure, if the contract is written such that you are actually allowed to sell the shares easily, which often you are not. My main point is that $250M sounds like a huge number, and that it shows how extreme the value of

I think you are under a misconception as to how this work. Let's say Meta wants to give this person 100M in stock, they don't have to buy 100M worth of stock when the option vests. What they do is, go into their accounting softwar

Comparing the industrialized usage of animals like pigs and cows to "predator and prey" is not a good comparison in my opinion. For the record I'm totally fine with indigenous humans hunting and killing animals. The scale and

Yes, I'm calling you a human supremacist [1]. There are plenty of examples of things that are not equal like skin color or gender and yet we - I assume you are not racist or sexist - try to treat equal. Drawing a hard line in the sand

Cool, looking forward to that. It's certainly a good fit for the Rust story overall, given the increasingly heterogenous nature of systems.

Who is we here? I'm curious to hear more about your ambitions here, since surly pulling in wgpu or something similar seems out-of-scope for the traditionally lean Rust stdlib.

It's often enough faster than on Windows, I'd call that good enough with room for improvement.

From I understand and based on this [1] what current research can do is e.g ~0.8 bar overpressure instead of ~1.2 bar. That's better sure, but the sonic boom is still in the 80+db range on the ground. I wouldn't call that almost n
