I mean, this all sounds sort of like a reasonable complaint... until you get to the sample size: 3 clicks. It appears arguably reasonable that geotargeting isn't exact, nor is it clear that these clicks weren't actually real and v

Yeah, Active-X is deprecated.

If they had started a business in 2019: then yes, indeed, that likely would have been the outcome. But they didn't, did they? The barriers to entry are much, much higher now; and the vested interests seem more keen on acquiring new v

Contrasting perspective: Founders like you describe are likely mythical. Don't exist. Not a single one in the world... at least if you mean founders of possibly competing firms. To be able to compete with the likes of google, you&#x2

Also the unbelievable amounts of inconsistent interfaces. There should be some rule internally at Microsoft that institutes a complete ban on new settings UI unless it actually replaces old UI. The amount of times I need to fall back to th

Are you arguing that hardware is software or something?

Generally, they do have much more interest in pleasing their users. Not only do not-for-profits typically have some kind of explicit charter, it's usually for some social benefit, like "helping users". If anything; they&#

For 99% percentage of all setups involving tunnels like this, key revocation (ala OCSP) is a security risk, not a solution. If your standard blindly requires or encourages this, what it's in effect encouraging is a much more complex a

The thing is, people are very good at checking boxes, and not very good at remembering important things. So while it may seem inane, plain old checking boxes is almost certainly part of a good strategy for dealing with tedious, repetitive

But even the base layers aren't all EUV yet, at least not in the first gen EUV-enabled processes, or is that a misunderstanding? At least I thought DUV was still in use in combination with (not entirely replaced by) EUV.
613.
by emn13 7y ago
EUV is just one aspect of the process, and so far none of the lithographies are fully EUV anyhow (only using that on a few layers)... I'm not that well informed but I'd guess by 3nm it'd be fully EUV? Regardless; it's

it's not that relevant. There are virtually no plausible gaming setups where you'd be likely to actually notice the differences where intel actually wins. You need a very fast GPU, high fps screen, specific games, large differen

by emn13 7y ago
Even as a gamer, intel's strength is overrated. I'm sorry, I'm just not going to buy a 2080ti and run it at 1080p with less-than-maxed out settings, and if I were that crazy, I wouldn't care much about the perceptually

I'm guessing there aren't all that many cryptographers at blackhat; that's quite a different specialty, isn't it? Then again, is also pays to know enough about cryptography to at least identify poorly applies crypto, so

Bit of a tangent, but perhaps the issue with separation of concerns isn't so much that it's a bad idea, it's that it's not always a good idea; and secondly that css doesn't really enable separation of concerns lik

by emn13 7y ago
You have lots of points; I don't have the time to respond to each and every one (that's also the reply to your point 6 ;-) ) Overall: the point I'm trying to get across is that copyright must serve society and consumers fi

You may be right; but that's such a general perspective that there's a good chance it's wrong in some situations. I think it's a little tricky to overgeneralize like that - although rent-seeking is pretty much by definit

I don't believe it would come at a huge cost to current lives now; I don't think it would cost any lives now. I think the ill-will is probably worth it, especially if it turns out to work and future Brazilians agree that it work

Bulgaria's GDP is comparable to brazil's and about world average. It's not poor. It may feel that way, being so close to much richer countries, but it's just not poor in any absolute way. In PPP bulgaria is even well
623.
by emn13 7y ago
Going by wikipedia's stats, bulgaria is noticably richer at PPP, but not in raw $, so it's not surprising you'd notice the difference in person (and I'll bet the region you visited matters too). The inequality will matt

That's a lovely tale, but is it actually true? The path "western" countries took to riches was long, painful, and destructive. The alternatives available today simply weren't available then. If indeed the only route to

Some trade sanctions are a far cry from destabilization; and even destabilization need not lead to war. And while I think it's an unnecessary trade-off to make, I would further question your implicit assumption that any war is by defin

That's a delusional stance to take. You want the US and china to reduce GHG's? That's great! You want Brazil to stop deforestation? Also great! You insist on using the same kind of pressure to achieve both goals? Uhh... t

20 years is absurdly long. I question whether 5 years of exclusivity is even reasonable, but at least it's a start. But 20 years is at least better that what we have now, so on the basis of that: it would be great if we could get ther

Well, maybe. The future of the EU isn't safe beyond all doubt, so there's a risk this'll turn into a self-fulfilling prophesy of EU doom. i.e. Despite the shock of brexit causing EU support to rise pretty much everywhere (II

So what you're saying is general enough not to be disprovable. But there are two conclusions you might draw from that: (A) that intelligence and education aren't helpful, or (B) that those making horrible decisions were being self

Yeah, that sounds like you're touching on something important. I'm not sure that a bit of tweaks to basic education are anywhere near the whole story, but yeah, our society seems to be organized around information scarcity, and s
