not entirely, but revenue is a huge component of earnings. this might be sort of a miss but not a huge one (from my caveman point of view, but i don't really know what i'm talking about, hence my confusion)

this is a silly point. it's a different runtime, there are also different apis available - as is the point of this article. node is not an internet browser. but ok

Facebook hasn't gone away. I get that it's not literally a child company under the parent Meta, but the product is still very much alive and is not going anywhere

It's so confusing to me see headlines calling this a "huge earnings miss". Revenue was greater than expected, as was ARPU. I get that the users are under, but this seems pretty far from a huge miss, no?

why are you writing node applications without using package.json? it sounds like you're looking to have a problem with javascript tbh. don't use it, whatever

maybe you're in the wrong small ones, it does not sound like we have the same experience.

Chrome and Firefox will synchronize bookmarks between all of those devices too, without relying on Apple's walled garden or having to use Safari.

who does? the federal government does not.

i'm aware of this and you're talking past the point i made. federal restrictions are stricter on voting than they are on alcohol.

by distrill 5y ago
yep, that would solve this problem entirely

by distrill 5y ago
they're not higher. the federal government doesn't even care how old you are, let alone where you live or whether you are who you say you are. those standards are all locally mandated and locally enforced.

really? you can't imagine how buying booze is any different from voting?

Literally everything is a partisan issue including the voting ID. The general argument against it is that proposed valid IDs are not free to obtain, and this would equate to a voting tax which is forbidden in the constitution.

The lengths that pintrest is going to prevent me from viewing the image full size is frustrating. But these comics are great.

I'm sure this is funny but a much better example would be the Prius and electric vehicles.

yes, that happens occasionally and then later more people move back

People halting moves into a dense population center because the city shut down for covid is not the same thing as people "fleeing in droves for taxes". There are absolutely some people doing this, but you are making up connections

They really aren't. 100 people moving to a town in Idaho makes a big impact on that town in Idaho but is not felt at all by California.

yeah this sounds like kind of a fun problem tbh

Likely not great, if it hasn't seen it before. You could fine tune it if you had large amounts of data that sat outside of the internet corpus, but it doesn't sound like that's happening here.

what? why would this be worth a downvote? also, what is with this attitude that nobody who has tried a "decent monitor" would be fine with a laptop? i have 2 high end monitors on my desk at work and i rarely use them because i pre
