When did they start appearing? I can't remember seeing them at all from my visits which I think were around 2005.

I guess that makes sense and is one consequence of moving so many things to an abstract 'service' model. Many services are essentially free to provide - until you count all the other overheads any business also has to pay for. It&

So where is that VC money getting spent besides salaries? What's the modern equivalent of selling shovels to the miners? AWS?

I wonder if that is why we like music. We can experience emotions without worrying that they are permanent or need to be resolved.

You would also need to mandate that they supply a reason for banning you that you can argue against. As it is now you could just get banned with no recourse or reason for using a 3rd party app on many platforms.

They understand that, and have been making changes to the website accordingly.

Does this apply to human retinas too?

Jeez how many do people usually have? There are just shy of 200 'interests' in my list. I'm not particularly interested in helping them out by editing it though. From what I saw the list is accurate in that it doesn't re

Company taxes are also 30% over here typically, flat rate. It is quite a lot I think, for small businesses at least. They don't have economies of scale or fancy setups and owners will pay a tax on profits then income taxes for themselv

Simply using licensing fees to shift revenue is a simple trick but countries can legislate against it if they want. Example: https://www.kwm.com/en/au/knowledge/insights/australian-soft... In that exampl

Yeah this is probably related to the 80/20 rule. I do it myself. I get 80% of the way through a project in 20% of the time, see the finish line and what is between it and myself, and kind of check out unless there's someone pushin

It is still PII which sometimes has specific laws and rules around its use depending on where you are. If I give someone's social security number to a company that doesn't mean they can publish it on the front page just because th

IT is often used as a term referring to the more practical side of things - infrastructure management, sysadmin, and helpdesk type work. It's not really a limitation that I subscribe to but it's hardly uncommon. Maybe they were us

I grew up with phone books so I suppose that's not the worst thing in the world. I have received more scam calls lately but so has everyone I know. Eagerly awaiting the news that Facebook takes security seriously.

Yeah it seems to be 1989 v 1991 based on the wiki but it also sounds like there might be some version differences. 2 years was a long time back then.

Revealing it on hover would be the desktop UI answer and perfectly achievable on the web if they wanted to. Facebook does this on post times. I think it's a decent tradeoff. Unfortunately mobile doesn't always work nicely with hov

Mine is in the Australia set, is there any meaningful next step to see what was leaked or does it not really matter?

Lotus 1-2-3 was on Windows so I think I am missing some context here around version differences?

It doesn't matter if someone uses resources responsibly if someone else comes along and then uses up what's left. People defer power to higher levels - government, companies, religion, culture, education, etc. Real change involves

That might be the literal interpretation of what is said, but it's not how I interpreted it. To me there is an implied "in the short term". So if I go without 4 hours of sleep today, I cannot just choose to sleep an extra 4 (
