This whole thing just sounds like it's based in multiple bits of poor logic and improperly used principles. - Don't take away data points to find averages you like. When you have a category like "fastest growing successful st

Exactly. I want these things too. But I'm also willing to pay for them. Everyone wants the best stuff for free. That's not controversial. But it is controversial to complain that the best stuff is more expensive than the cheap stu

People should buy things they want to own. When you rent things, there is explicitly no guarantee you'll have access to it later. Books, music, videos - the only way you can guarantee you'll have access to it is by owning it. That

From the title my first thought was "RUSTLANG!". Then I saw it was a google article and thought "well, that's not going to be rust-lang at all". I guess the answer was somewhere in between. It would be nice if there

Even then, that's more a problem with google than amazon. Or, more accurately, it's a problem that we treat email as electronic mail. We feel we own the account like we own our address, Heck, for some stupid reason we use them for

I'll take "will" to be a given. There is something that is capable of thinking, and the thoughts it has are will. A decision, then, is when that entity has a thought that has intention. I think it becomes nebulous by adding &

it's not just illogical, it's an infinite regress. It's purposely adding in an extra layer that by definition can't be discounted. So if you disprove one layer of free will, you still have an infinite number of possible

Mir and WAyland was because wayland couldn't do what they wanted technically. Snap came BEFORE flatpak. Flatpak was the "new competing standard" in that situation. And Gnome shell, quite frankly, sucked. IMO it still sucks, b
