If you have all the dollars then you have a monopoly on them. If the government forces people to pay their taxes in dollars you have a government supported monopoly. It stands and falls with the government's support for it, the connect

I think making it harder to build an OS by increasing its scope is not going to help people to build Linux alternatives. As for the components, at least their interfaces are standardized. You can remove memory sticks by manufacturer A and r

It does depend on the policy, yes, but note that government backed (local) monopolies exist in other areas too. Like for example with hospitals, or with phone network operators.

Recommendation is an established concept when it comes to vaccines. When you travel to country X then it's recommended to get vaccines for A, B, C. Or when you have age N and gender G you are recommended to get vaccines D, E, F. And so

It's hostile to users like us that can deal with a lot of data at the same time. But many people when they see "old style" UIs get overwhelmed by the mass of information and data, and having that information subdivided helps

Good point, I've just calculated it and you'll need 2 years and 4 months to save one year's expenses that make up 70% of your salary, at a saving rate of 30%.

Yeah there is a lot of space between "has savings for 8-12 months" and "is independently wealthy, i.e. can live off interest of their own savings". Former is extremely easy to achieve if you can save significant portio

You do have a point. SBF might be an interesting case because he tried to get protection from democrats even though republicans might have been more receptive to him.

SBF was the second biggest individual donor to Biden's election campaign, and he donated 8 times as much in the 2022 midterms to democrats. Newspapers close to democrats have made very positive pieces about him and his scam. Now after

The weird thing is, not even Mac OS is doing it on that hardware: they just do proper S3 suspend. I think the advantage of this "modern standby" feature is that you can sometimes wake up and do some minor processing. But I'm

The ashahi driver inside Mesa builds upon Gallium3D so it does use shared components of the Mesa library stack. This is not a from scratch driver, it's one that uses the powers of the Mesa library.

The person being cut up is not hurt, they gave their consent to be cut up. So why should third parties intervene? Of course if there is a shortage of dead bodies, medical students should be prioritized, but why not also open it to everyone.
