In my company it is easier to request a purchase of a new hardware for 5000$ than a 10$ software plug-in or extra license. Easier for end-user at least.

Hostile to whom and on what basis? If two companies decide to merge, is it by default a hostile action? I don't think so. And what if later anti-monopoly agency decides that it was an infraction and blocks the merger? Then I think it w

I feel like this is a clear case for "security through obscurity doesn't work" saying, and for the same reasons as the original meaning. "Normal" people won't find such community because it is pain in the ass t

They are between 1000 to 1500 USD over here in EU. Pretty much only very well off people are buying current gen iPhones. Many people have older models. We also don't have any Apple lock-in culture, so there is much less incentive to go

That is not on MS though. That is a fault of those in change of ISO, that they assign same vote weight to the enormous empires and to the microstates. Votes should be proportional to the population, full stop. Then no one would be able to a

It's only recently when consumer software has become truly multithreaded. Historically there were major issues with that until very recently. Remember Bulldozer fiasco? They bet on the parallel execution more than Intel at the same tim

I hope you realize that this just completes proof that there is no significant correlation? Also, as a person who worked with a lot of Israeli engineers, from juniors to senior architects, I can only say haha, try catching any of them in of

I'm thinking that we both are fed up with the same bad things happening in society, just call it differently :) . I sincerely hope that one we may have a somewhat free self-governing society with a free market too. Just likely not in t

And now western countries can also have ultra corrupt, opaque and controlled by a small oligarchy group currency system, just like some 3rd world countries. Yay, progress :)

My point was not that government is better or worse than corporate oligarchy in a question of governing. It's all the same people, same humans, just with different labels. My point was that free market is kinda like unstable isotope, i

It is theoretically and practically impossible that free market could exist. Every unregulated market will be quickly monopolized by a biggest player and it will stop being free by definition. It's like saying that humans can fly unass

You may be surprised, but in entrenched and widespread cases if ONLY fines are used, they almost do nothing to curb bad "something". Did war on drugs in USA teach us nothing? Or extremely common cases of speeding all across the gl

My issue with carbon tax is that emissions happen anyway and in the same amount, they are just taxed afterwards. The only way for tax to make a dent in emissions is to tax something so thoroughly that businesses would close or partially clo

You see, that's why I said about some countries. In yours iPhone 16 and Pixel 10 have 230 EUR difference, but in Poland they literally the same or even worse for Pixel: Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max Amazon.pl → 5 499 zł Mediaexpert.pl

Google Pixel line is nice in theory over past several generations, but unfortunately in some regions of the world their pricing makes no sense. For example one of the EU countries: Google Pixel 10 Pro XL 256Gb - 1560 USD (converted to USD f

Speaking about long term planning and short term instincts it is obvious (for me personally) that any and all so called "carbon taxes" or "carbon credits" are simply a bullshit greenwashing schemes, doing more harm than

It is very likely that one single site is responsible for this. For example in my usage, Jenkins portal is leaking memory like hell, will fill up a few GBs in a a day and jack up CPU utilization to 100%. I has hundreds of tabs at that point

Or maybe fixing a few dozen open bugs about losing all open tabs to a /dev/null once in a while. I had it happen twice this year and now extremely vary about even simply normally using browser. Sigh...
