This is overkill, but I have a DAG of profiles. Each profile can refer to one or more parent profiles. When I produce a config for a particular profile, a small Python script applies the profiles starting from the root node(s). To avoid t

I'm not sure that's quite true. The very first sentence from the wikipedia article on Capitalism[1]: > Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

Electroweak theory does describe more phenomena though. By analogy, Coulomb’s law is simpler than Maxwell’s equations, and describes fewer phenomena. Also, incidentally, Maxwell’s original formulation was very complicated.

I don’t know their balance sheets, but the organization I work for (~30k employees and I’m sure many other much larger ones) have enterprise G Suite accounts. Those accounts alone are worth a lot of money to Google, and I think even they wo

Paid Gmail does not datamine per their Terms. It would be a massive legal minefield if they did secretly anyway. I do not work for Google or any Alphabet company.

You went from “how can I be clearer” to deciding my criteria for clarity are not relevant in this discussion because we are not arguing free vs. paid. I thought that was exactly what we were discussing based on my original question. Furthe

Providing some data comparing relative rates of such incidents of paid vs. free customers would be a start. Repeating something does not make it clearer nor more convincing.

You can pay $5/mo for ad free gmail (I do). You cannot pay for this $1000 special investigation option. That doesn’t exist in almost any service, I don’t know why Gmail would be any different.

It does matter. Expecting something for free is exactly what leads to being ghosted, whether by a person (see the lament of the GNOME Calendar maintainer that was up here earlier) or a company.

This is also how they teach manual transmission drivers in the relatively flat UK (where manual is the default option).

There are lots of things to unpack here. Your original claim was that the people had "[not been] listened to in any way". My singular claim was that in fact they had been listened to at least in some way. > Even ignoring all t

> But it’s not as though we’ve been listened to in any way. I get the sentiment (as a pro-Euro Brit), but surely the original referendum counts as being listened to in some way?

Typos or not, in a Chess thread, there should be enough context to recognize who is widely regarded as the greatest chess player to have ever lived.

How does finding a bigger prime help or hinder cryptography? And with many forms of cryptography (e.g. DH kex, ECC) primes only enter as the modulus of the modular arithmetic where being larger is usually not particularly helpful.

Would it be worthwhile to compare to a daily risk that people take? e.g. what are the odds of getting hit by a car when crossing the road?

`find . -type f -name "$1"` should give you that and potentially faster than GP since you don't need to do any I/O to a second process.

If you pay for GSuite as much as you would for Fastmsil ($5/month) you get the same privacy protections as Fastmail, along with better features (e.g. unlimited IMAP keywords per mailbox instead of just 128, better spam detection, etc.)

Paying for GSuite (as you are for Fastmail) would also equally respect your privacy.

If I give GP the benefit of the doubt, I think GP is well aware of this. However, their point is that in these examples, the original input was not in S-Expression form, so the ease of manipulation did not exist until it was parsed.
