Advertising, to grow sales can be expensed, for example. Buying new plant, not so much.

It's an accounting trick. 1) Make tons of cash. 2) Invest the cash back in the business. 3) Record this investment on the financials as an expense. 4) The expenses inflated by investment spending means you declare no profit and probabl

In the days of the ipod every single user of it I encountered had apple's UX wipe their music collection. But maybe that was by design as they decided to call their music shop by the same name as their ipod management software. That is

Great now can we "layer" a bunch of these to make a fishtank sized thing that you sit around perched on your coffee table to watch sports in 3D without all that glasses nonsense? More like sitting in the best seats in the stand.

Why isn't it exactly the same as if the doc had the includes filled out and then processed semantically, much like C? All <<<include whatever.html>>> could be replaced with contents first. Then it's just a page o

The autovectorizer can, at times, when you check it produce reasonable simd code with a given compiler based on simple, clear C code. Is gcc as good in this case? Are previous versions of clang (that may be employed by users) going to work

City size is all definitional. My first ever look at the states was out the window of a plane flying to NYC from the Bahamas at night. Straight up the east coast. Mind blowing. To my eyes it was one enormous city without any meaningful sepa

If the actual twitter files stories by Taibbi et al were actually read and the claims and evidence understood rather than desperately trying to bury them and their authors in a partisan quagmire that would be a reasonable start. Was buried

There is no claim here of documents or a story being suppressed by wikileaks. The documents and one side of the conversation were provided to ForeignPolicy.com. The anti-wikileaks angle immediately fizzes in the opening paragraphs. WikiLeak

I think this thinking is fantasy. >are you claiming that not once has anyone sent Wikileaks negative information on him or his campaign, and that's the only reason we haven't seen any? There is nothing that wikileaks is even cr

What is the canary? Source?

by harry8 2y ago
Forgive me, I've never heard of a "cryptographic canary." Google tuned up nothing for me about what it is or how it relates to wikileaks. It gave me the strong impression of being nonsense. Perhaps I'm wrong about that.

>What, by picking and choosing what content to release to push a political agenda? I think you've confused wikileaks with the new york times there. The times definitely pick and choose. I have seen no evidence that wikileaks suppres

I think this is nonsense? As far as I know there is zero evidence that wikileaks did not publish everything newsworthy that they were given regardless of who it helped or hindered. Anyone have anything credible showing they suppressed anyth

Just like unlocking your phone for one specific, quick purpose then getting distracted by notifications and 10-15 minutes you've forgotten what you actually needed to do. Deliberate gruen or poor ui design? Social media & their ilk
