Dumb question: how can you tell if something is actually a jailbreak?

It matters. If it's not subsidized, it's not actually free, it's just baked into the price, and a large player like Walmart might be able to compete.

The government could make loans directly and guarantee purchase prices, but it's also stopped making payments congress committed it to, so you'd be crazy to trust any promises from the administration.

It's actually worse that that. Making acquisitions hard is one thing; changing the rules post hoc is another.

My theory is that the heuristics (PageRank and click-through feedback) that made 2008 Google great don't work in corporate environments.

The only reasons I can think of is they see them as their secret sauce, they don't want to support them for customers long-term, or they don't have the foundry capacity.

Agreeing with all my siblings' comments, computers took cues from a lot of places and evolved to be general-purpose. Something similar happened on the GPU side, and at some point, the best parts of bespoke graphics hardware got general

The Xbox worked as a proof-of-concept to show that you could build a console with commodity hardware. The Xbox 360 doubled down on this while the PS3 tried to do clever things with an innovative architecture. Between the two, it was clear c

The pragmatic approach is to see that FP's key point is statelessness and use that in your code (written in more mainstream languages) when appropriate.

It's a shame ReactOS never got mature enough to be a serious competitor. If it had modern app and hidpi support but was suck in a 2000-era UI and didn't have feature bloat, it could be a great daily driver.

Liquor is around 40% alcohol, and a shot is supposed to be 1.5 oz, so 17g. A bit more than a standard drink, but not far off.

You could argue that a "feature" of Stack Overflow is the culture. They're building a reference, not a help desk, so they expect questions to be original and researched. Once you're in a corporate environment, if you don

Part of it was Mike Judge (Office Space, among others). Part was that they did really good research. They nailed lots of little details about VC, technology, tech businesses, the locale, and industry.

I suspect what really happens is you're set back a few years compared to someone with more fortunate timing. In a away, this is never catching up, but framing it as a setback gives a better picture of what happens.
