Probably from being able to tax corporations effectively and preventing individuals from dismantling functional economies.

Several things come to my mind: 1) you don't seem to rank at all in Google, so that's one major traffic source gone 2) this is a good search for an LLM to answer which undermines needing to visit your sites at all 3) I bet the com

And the kicker is, they're actually planning to overtake Harvard's $526 million investment by approximately three orders of magnitude. > Von der Leyen announced the 500 million euros ($566.6 million) incentive package and said

That endowment is not their budget for scientific research. The EU basically caught up with what Harvard spends of their own money with that €500 million. > In fiscal year 2024 (FY24), research at Harvard was supported by more than $1 b

I think you've already got the best solution you're going to find - you do it yourself and you're paying for the resources that requires. The only thing you're missing is a backup of your blog that is completely independ

This isn't exclusively or particularly solved by VC-funded or giant tech companies - Dropbox once deployed a bad build that accepted any password, Apple accidentally had a blank root password, I'm sure there are many more embarras

I liked Flash for these reasons too, the way Macromedia fused design, animation and programming was amazing.

Unlimited usage like that means someone else has to pay for your usage - when the provider's pricing changes or their growth declines your usage may no longer be subsidized by someone else's. You risk becoming dependent on them w

I have seen people learn programming incrementally for decades by googling a problem and finding some code and trying to adapt it to their requirements. LLMs certainly make this more efficient.

I think over the next decade many countries are going to flex their autonomy and replace "Big Tech" with their own tech so there will certainly be opportunity in the EU, in UK/AU/NZ/CA, in Latin America. The whole

In my experience recruiters collecting resumes and job postings that aren't intended to be filled seem very common which might skew the data since the "old job posts" aren't being removed.

The person you're referring to is more like a conductor. Everyone in an orchestra can play their instruments just fine. Better than fine. They are great at it. But the conductor keeps them coordinated and synchronized. But these

Yeah I saw that but they never said where those calories were coming from, which could be a few different sources. Sugar seems like the most obvious but calories could be talking about milks or creamers too.

Surely this is predisposed to taking sugar with your coffee?

Agreed. Because really what happens when we search is we run through a gauntlet of contrived websites stuffed with ads and trackers and referral links, selling someone else's stuff, splitting someone else's content across multipl

Do you use it on a laptop? Because I think that's where most of the pain points lie.

I don't think "tinkered with" is the right description for using Linux as a daily driver. It's more like a cartoon character plugging holes in a boat with their fingers and toes and running out of digits - they're t

Windows laptops are so bad I think I'm actually finished buying them - the last one being a Razer which had a "spicy pillow" AND malfunctioned fans. I can spend a couple hundred bucks fixing this but I feel like that's

Software, but not for someone else - it's time to be the primary beneficiary of our own work. The jobs are evaporating because AI can amplify our individual efforts into something much greater, and it can do it for us by ourselves too

What does that even mean in the age of digital streaming and especially funding by American streaming platforms?

What does any of this have to do with consumers being ripped off then reimbursed for software? It would only be “the greatest punishment” because it is a subset of what Apple was able to obtain with their illegal methods. They billed hundr

All fees get factored into the retail price, generally speaking. Bankrupt companies excluded.

Apple Pay is 0.15% fee and have no bearing on this case. In-App Purchases are 30%.

by benoau 1y ago
The funny thing is they have 2x consumer class actions (US + UK) alleging these 30% fees were always a ripoff, they just became a slam dunk so that’ll be tens of billions they have to pay back!

Isn't the main reason they're not profitable because they've been making content?

Sounds like they're still busily floundering with no actual plan to make any meaningful change to iOS or iPad OS until judges finally strip them of their illegal IAP behavior (illegal in US and EU anyway).

Whenever it gets in a cycle of fucking up, I ask it to break the code down into smaller functions and write a test suite for each individually. Tell it what language or packages to use or it might make selections that add dependencies or re

Another way copyright has worked for decades is qBittorrent for instance, is not responsible for infringements by users. Along with massive carve-outs for Microsoft and the gang to avoid that responsibility too, on GitHub and YouTube and m

It's what is motivating Microsoft to prevent what Cursor is doing. All cursor is doing is saying this blob of crap is compatible with their fork and letting you run it. This is akin to browsers supporting extensions from other browser
