> That like 200 years of runway at their peak losses. Perhaps they want to be prepared for losses much larger than their peak historical losses.

I think that depends on what you mean by "large amounts." If we're talking about cash savings to whether economic downturns, pandemics, etc., presumably we should be looking at what is large relative to the operating costs of

That was the other commenter's point: a 17 year old can hurt people with a car just as easily as a 40 year old. The age of the attacker has no relevance on how liable the recipient of the attack is for their security practices.

Does the fact that these musicians choose to put their music on Spotify count as data?

I think the context is pretty clear here.

“Segregation” means “forced separation,” but you seem to be using it to mean “recognizition of any distinction.”

The US government also has a similar distinction: https://www.sba.gov/category/business-groups/minority-owned

I don't think you need to look for a "should." The article says: > Google said it has seen “a surge in online searches for Black-owned businesses” in recent months So it seems like a feature Google decided is useful for it

I think in practice the web provides the biggest competition to any native app development, but of course that’s not really a commercial entity trying to “woo” developers.

Yep. Are you “technical?” That’s one of the silliest and most dismissive terms in the business.

I don’t think it would matter whether it held up in court, because superstars probably had much more power and leverage than concert venues so the venues wanted to keep them happy. I also don’t really buy the explanation that brown candy wo

Why would it be easier to abuse? If anything, the “universal” part is even clearer since it’s right there in the name.

Isn’t eating farm to table vastly less carbon efficient? It seems like everyone is presuming the opposite.

It’s just weird to say that you don’t support a policy if there a lot of people that don’t support it. Surely that’s true of every taxation and welfare system in every government, for instance.

But if you don’t support it being universal then you don’t support UBI. Those people you’re talking about just don’t support UBI.

Or, even more obviously, prison.

by baddox 6y ago
That’s literally the “universal” part of it. If you don’t have that, you don’t have UBI. The fact that the government has the physical power to withhold a hypothetical UBI might be an issue, of course, but every government has the physical

Isn’t the “Electron bloat” just that a version of Chrome has to be bundled in, and shouldn’t that only be like 25 MB?

What about click through rate and time spent on site? Those are objective, Google probably has the data in many cases, and Google’s own products (like Maps) probably do the best on those metrics.

This principle also doesn’t work well for things that have practically no ceiling to their cost, like clothing, cars, and furniture.

If a bunch of people are asking for a bunch of features it sounds like they have made their product attractive to users.

Except if you are actually well-educated then you would know that “irregardless” is widely used to mean the same thing as “regardless” and thus to use it as such would not be a sign of a lack of education.

I always thought “meteoroid” was an odd term. It’s something like a meteor, except it hasn’t entered the atmosphere. It’s like calling a slice of bread a toastoid.

Might it be the case that another party is handling fulfillment and this isn’t an option for the manufacturer who wants to create fake reviews?

Those articles were almost certainly written by journalists who have no medical or epidemiological training.

In my view the next nice thing to have is algebraic data types with compile-type exhaustiveness checks. I believe several languages implement null safety using a simple algebraic data type that can be “Nothing” or “Some(‘a)” where “a” is a
