There's nowhere in a TUI to add oceans of padding for a ""sleek"" and ""modern"" look. There's very very little that a product manager can ""streamline"" in 80 columns of

That's exactly the point. This is not normal even in software. You can, in fact, learn C exactly once. Or any number of other languages. The entire argument being made here is that the world you're suggesting is a problem . Sof

The bit we all care about: S3 is sleep mode proper. Most everything is physically powered off, only enough is kept on to keep contents of RAM alive. S0 is.. just on. The PC is completely powered up. Microsoft has done this so that they can

Taxis would be a terrible jobs program because cars are the worst possible means of transportation for everyone except the person in the car. Run a jobs program building public transit instead. We built an entire nation on unskilled workers

The post you're responding to makes no claims about the intelligence of others. The claim that's being made is that the majority of laypersons don't really know how to construct a sonnet or a haiku. You're conflating tha

Good products are not profitable enough . Not that good products are profitable at all, but if it doesn't make disgusting amounts of money this quarter it's not worth considering at all. We've reached the phase of "in

Approximately everybody would like more money. Greedy people put the desire for more money above the welfare of the business, themselves, and other. Greedy people literally put their desire for more personal wealth above the very lives of

That's because anything-over-powerline is absolutely and objectively terrible . You already have a high throughput data cable between your PC and monitor. Carry USB over displayport or whatever. At least then you can use more than one

In retrospect, most of Musk's ventures would indeed appear to be grifts from the very start. Many of them were plainly transparent grifts with only a perfunctory attempt to hide the fact (hyperloop)

AI models are explicitly sold and advertised as a way to reduce labor cost to zero. If you want to reduce your cost to zero in one area (at the expense of other real people) you most likely will seek to drive costs to zero in other areas (a

The older and more jaded I get, the more I think that the only way to fix this mess before we all die of climate change is to dump the entire US government off a cliff and write a new constitution. As the founding fathers intended.

Please enlighten us then, why do many countries require commercial kitchens have fire sprinklers if it's such a terrible and dangerous idea?

If you learn to read, the fragments "not just" and "etc" clearly answer your question. Yes, China and the US also participate in this. Everyone knows this. You are not clever or special for pointing it out, you're j

So that websites can track and identify you "for improved personalized advertising" in exactly this way. Browser fingerprinting is massively valuable to Google's surveillance/advertising apparatus. This is all working

This is complete and utter conspiracy nonsense. This kind of tracking has been going on for decades

The tech companies are the ones lobbing for age verification. The entire point of this scheme is mass surveillance and shifting responsibility away from big tech companies. It has nothing at all to do with "protecting" kids. Preve

Consoles aren't really a useful object. You can only play the heavily locked down titles the vendor approves for you, and nothing else. You have to pay a monthly subscription for the damn thing. And if you want to do anything at all th
