Elon is smart, he's making all these news on Twitter to increase user engagement on his platform. I'm pretty sure he'll release this publicly à la "wikileak" to everyone after the exclusivity on Twitter has worn off

The economics of all of that seem sketchy to me. It sounds like the main North American market is subsidizing the apps being produced and sold worldwide. Does the same logic apply for other virtual good such as digital music elsewhere?

I'll admit I had vague memory of Musk's tweet and thought he was merely questioning the overall narrative (which was quite messy honestly) with a text reply, but apparently he linked to an article with baseless claims like you men

No, he said "more than meets the eye" because of contradicting news reports in the medias early on when the story broke, with many unknowns and incoherencies remaining today. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news&#x2

Most likely it will. At the same time, RedPanda provides a native command-line tool named "rpk" which works on macOS as well and which can manage topics and consumer groups. Which makes me think that not only would RedPanda users

This is the naive approach you would do 15+ years ago. Then things got way better with real browser engines like Webkit that could understand Javascript. That was something that I've personally hacked together as a contractor for an an

It's the iPad concept that came first, in the early 2000s, and they had a prototype for multitouch display. Then they decided to work on the first iPhone for several years after that.

Sure, it's inconsequential. The government and their politicians never get judged by their results, but by the means they put in place. They will go harder next time and request more money, stricter regulations, and more power to fight

I share the sentiment of busymom0 and can relate how bad the healthcare is here in Quebec. The hospitals have been overloaded and badly managed for a long time, way before the pandemic. Most hospitals here have been operating above 100% cap

Getting protesters at Parliament Hill arrested, fined, bank accounts frozen, and other people who support them (fining those who brings food and gas), isn't authoritarian? Can't you make a distinction with the bridge blockade and

While we can argue about what are the boundaries for human rights in 1st world countries, it's important to know there have been some very strict and harsh policies regarding Covid in different parts of the world. In Quebec where I liv

I don't care that they're rich. I care that they have a monopoly and consolidate so much power that they can shift the balance for the interest of their stakeholders or lobbyists.

Affidavits are evidence. Are you simply implying the affidavits are all lying and want to cut short the ruling?

There's also South Park being banned in China because of an episode that depicted the way everyone tries to please the Chinese government. Oh the irony.

It depends on the implementation of the control plane and how you maintain the mesh between the different servers (L2<=>L3 for arp resolution, mac learning). Historically vxlan was a multicast thing, but not anymore. Flannel (popular

The problem with FB is they want all the benefits of a platform without any of the drawbacks. Or rather, it's the public perception of what FB should be and FB is stuck in the middle juggling with politics. Obviously if you're a s
