Sure it does. It undercuts their entire argument by making it look much more like a political stunt than any kind of serious action.

But market share of what? No one pays for web search so that's not really a market. Facebook has 90%+ market share of social media. Do they have a monopoly? GitHub has a 90%+ market share of open source code hosting. Do they have a mon

Google would argue that web search is not their market. They are in the business of online advertising in which they most definitely do not have dominant market share.

YouTube is hardly profitable. They would barely be able to afford their own infrastructure under their current revenue. They would immediately be acquired by a competitor or declare bankruptcy.

That's absurd. If everyone had a higher tax burden social mobility would be completely destroyed. Californians will never vote away prop 13 so property taxes will never go up, even in this imaginary increased tax burden scenario. With

That's not inflation. Inflation doesn't just affect a single commodity, it affects all commodities.

Relax. This commenter is speaking in generalities and it's like you're interpreting it as a personal attack. They simply said that there exist a category of farmers who do not participate in the normal schooling system and choose

Incorrect. The "CPU" is stopping and handling the fault. There is no background CPU from your perspective. In a cloud provider you are always in a virtual environment and using a vCPU which is constantly being preempted by the hyp

Unfortunately, they usually have plenty of acceptable places to defecate. The fact that they are not always used is mostly due to the effects of coming down off of opioids. See the Trainspotting toilet scene as an example.

No not really. This sounds a lot like a Fox News sound bite to rile people up who don't live in CA to get out and vote republican. Besides, decriminalization has been proven everywhere it has been implemented to decrease addiction and

that's a poor comparison. The IRS are not cops, and the monied and lawyered do not commit petty crime at a high level whereas they do commit tax evasion at a much higher level.

It will be far more now after the Trump tax bill as well. You now have to be able to deduct over $24k to not take the standard deduction.

So are you in essence stating that because metropolitan people do not understand the needs of rural life that they deserve for their votes to continue to be worth less? Even despite rural people not understanding metropolitan life to the sa

Keep in mind this is only in America. F-150s sell terribly anywhere else because they have to actually compete with trucks made in other countries, unlike here where foreign trucks are heavily tariffed.

Not in California, where it explicitly cannot be a felony and has widely increased since prop 47 passed.

I think that is a total misread of the comment you're responding to. They're attempting to explain people's mindset, and you've quoted general statistics in response. When someone has their car stolen, they do not take s

That is not a correct interpretation of that statistic. The parachute has never "failed" in any engineering sense. The stat is taking into account all deployments, including those well outside of the deployment envelope, such as n

Where on Earth are you getting that Apple's market share is "extremely large and stable"? iPhones account for 17% of the smartphone market.[0] That's less than Samsung. iOS has 27% market share against Android's 72%

CMEs are not actually emitted uniformly over the whole spherical surface of the sun. Instead it's much closer to a Gaussian distribution centered on the ecliptic.

You can't say it never works because your definition of "works" is completely off base. The population is continuously growing. We must build housing as fast as it grows to just maintain parity, and even faster to reduce pric

I imagine they would probably say the same thing to you. You're really not willing to use an excellent piece of software because one time you saw a dev dismiss someone who didn't like the default color scheme? How is that not even

by bananabreakfast 5y ago
Yeah, I side with the devs on that one. Frankly, that is a total misrepresentation to call that verbal abuse. What it is, is frustrated devs dealing with a rudely worded and pointless issue. That issue is literally just trying to start a bi

DeJoy was/is actively sabotaging the USPS while holding millions in a private competitor. There's no conspiracy, it's happening out in the open.

Then you're not using a monorepo. The whole point of a monorepo is that everything is using the most recent version of every dependency, always. If they don't, then you broke the build. Versioning does not exist, dependency hell d

If you need a concrete example of why deflation is crushingly terrible for an economy look no further than Japan after the asset bubble burst in the 90s. Deflationary thinking meant everyone expects prices to be lower tomorrow, so no one sp

Chargers are installed in parking lots everywhere. Just because you haven't noticed them doesn't mean they aren't there.

That's probably because car manufacturers are not making electric cars to traverse the jungle. That is an extremely niche use case compared to the global car driving population and a straw-man argument.
