Nobody cares. Most have decided they prefer SUVs, cheap burgers and flying to Greece twice a year for 50 quid over the Amazon being a thing or co-existing with wildlife. And the ones that didn't make that choice are unwilling to change

I thought the only major issues with Btrfs were with RAID usage. I mean, some distros default to it out of the box, right?

I think cryptobros just have a different perception of what "providing value" is. Bitcoin's fiat value or the fact that it has made millionaires is hardly an indication of it, since the same can be said of cocaine. Smart cont

Crypto is trying to fix a social problem (currency) with technology, with obvious outcomes. It's not about empowering a new generation of solutions or allowing the unbanked access to financial services. It's about replacing the cu

Insane that the console was just a video adapter and the game carts held the processor and memory. No wonder they shipped so few games!

I'd say not only cheaper, but the industry hadn't yet standardized regarding graphics technology so a lot of companies were trying different things (and not selling them to competitors at all).

I don't follow how society's not a reliable source of values, which I agree in principle, but Abraham (that we only know of thanks to spotty written records post-fact) is.

From the point of view of the consumer, if a government passes a law saying you can't buy abroad from Company X, sure feels like jurisdiction over it.

by bantunes 3y ago
Again, if you "pass laws about whom their citizens can trade with" isn't that having jurisdiction over a foreign company?

If you're taking money in that jurisdiction, why is it not "being provided"?
75.
by bantunes 3y ago
Why should it not? If you're providing a service (presumably for profit), shouldn't you be bound by rules other commercial service providers have to follow in that jurisdiction as well? If not, you'd be at a massive advantage

The early 2000s were a mess with company-specific cables and USB was forced upon them and made things much simpler, Apple is just the last holdout. Forcing 3rd-party manufacturers to buy chips from them for their devices to work with Apple

Ruby is Python minus white space mandates and having to try three times to get strings right. Also, backwards compatibility is not such a big deal. Of course, also minus the massive corporate support by the likes of Google. Try it, it'

I thought flatpak was a response to Ubuntu not open-sourcing the snap store code.

We will at one point know more about the Roman Empire than the World Wide Web 1994-1998, and it doesn't seem right. Huge chunks of cultural output that would be gold for future historians just... lost.

It's correcting a decade of over-hiring, and a shortcut to a slightly higher stock price.

You can also just store the data encoded in them - it's usually just a string.

Making music is very much a job for studio and road crews, and those workers could benefit from a union. And how are unions subsidization?

Same here. "Treating" cancer seems way more profitable than "curing" it - at least, at face value. I'm sure a society free from cancer would be better off, but not sure that translates well to "profit", wh
