Just to do a thought experiment and ignoring your existing biases, imagine if you had two options always in every room in your house -- one is to ask Alexa and the other is to flick the switch, over time what do you think you will gravitat

Not sure what you mean -- everyone knows that a phone call is not routinely recorded and there is no expectation that it be recorded when an investigation is on and businesses routinely use a mix of phone calls and emails (and other means)

I wonder why should email be different (why should you change the expiration policy?) Is it explicitly called out in some law that it has to be treated differently? What about if you always use a service that auto-deletes communication ever

XAML from Microsoft and XUL from Firefox for doing UI have sort of died, haven't they? Maybe because they weren't perfect for all use cases?

That really wasn't my intention -- it mostly makes sense to use Rust for the borrow checker. Instead my only intention was that it simplify the process of learning Rust -- using all it's features (except the borrow checker), getti

by grok2 9y ago
If you don't really need the borrow checker to compile Rust, can the original Rust compiler have a mode where it doesn't do the borrow checking? That might make it easier to ease into Rust, because right now, "fighting"

That is to force ISPs to provide a minimum level of service everywhere -- what good is it if you are prepared to pay for 50Mbps in a rural under-served area, but the ISP will not provide it to you because they don't have the infrastruc

I think the OP is sorta saying the same thing -- they perhaps don't want their banking container to see add-ons (except the container add-on :-)). It's perhaps okay to be relaxed about some add-ons in some environments, but not in

I think you are right that you should stop development until you get a few customers for the current version -- otherwise you may spend time not focusing on the selling aspect! The web-site tells what the product does like it would be obvio

Apple probably does the best among hardware companies in forced-upsell -- you need to buy expensive accessories from Apple to go with your shiny new device -- and each accessory is a little bit more expensive that similar models for other d

It's not clear from the article what doesn't scale -- is it that businesses stretch themselves too thin or is it that making a platform that encompasses any and every use case is not a viable business model or is it that the softw

That's supposed to be the original source of funds for schools, but unfortunately in this case it clearly is not working for them.

Thanks -- took a look and donated to a couple of projects. It seems like most of the schools represented are in the urban areas though...from the original article it appears that Oklahoma City is still mostly doing well. How is the school d

Does anyone know if there is some mechanism for the general public to provide funds to the education system in Oklahoma? Something like a gofundme page where it is clear the money is going to the system and not getting mis-used or mis-direc
