I was going to post a similar reply, but the more I think about it, the more I'm not sure that we're going to get the old sense of journalism back. I'm not sure what the future is, but I don't think it will look like th

I don't see why inflation is necessary. UBI doesn't have to change the amount of money flowing through the economy; one option is heavy taxes. Wealth redistribution, effectively. That does beg the question of whether incentives

The issue is not one of supply, but of generation. It wasn't sufficiently weather-proofed. It's entirely possible that it isn't profitable for them to do the winter-proofing. It's only needed once every decade or two.

It's weird, but count is basically a singleton here, where the state is shared with the thing that actually renders this. > Wouldn’t everything be a lot less magical if it was oop? Then you’d go ‘input_1.toggle_state’ and it is pret

They only don't have to pay for it because the Treasurer doesn't currently require them to. Based on my reading of the law, those are all things that Facebook could be forced to pay for. From the code: > core news contentmean

There are 2 separate issues that you're conflating. The first is whether UberCheats infringes on Ubers trademark. I agree with you, this strikes me as infringement. The second issue is who decides whether it's infringing or not. I

I think they're going to use it to try to establish that they aren't harming competitors. Epics data is less useful because they're newer. They've always existed alongside Apples alleged monopoly, so any claims about har

This is roughly what I do. Unsubscribe is for things I was interested in, but am not anymore (out of the hobby, getting too many emails to manage, etc). Spam is for any kind of email I haven't opted in to receiving. That includes mail

This. The reason app stores suck so much isn't their distribution of apps. They do fine at that, and it would be easy to switch binary distributors. It's the value-added services that are inexplicably linked that bug me. Why can&#

Usually the high DevOps salaries like that are for roles that involve high scale, or trying to fuse old tech with new infrastructure. Those are certainly in range for DevOps people at the higher end of the scale.

It makes sense to only use a single UI toolkit. If some of your stuff is cross platform, it's probably easier to write the single-platform stuff on the cross-platform toolkit than it is to have your devs need to know 2 or more toolkit

Not OP, but one rationale would be that there are replacements for Go. Flutter seems to exist in a space where there aren't a ton of solutions, since I don't think react-native works on desktops (yet? Unless that's changed)
