Minimum is just that, minimum. Have you ever seen a broken standard USB port or connector? Me not once in my entire life, unlike micro-USB or USB-C.

It's about what the majority wants - thinner waterproof phones instead of a removable battery. You are not forced by the evil companies, you are forced by market pressure from the majority of consumers. Not even Apple was able to resis

No, that's not my position. My position is freedom. To create locked-down devices. Or open ones. And freedom for consumers to buy which kind they want. You are taking a position that you know what's best for consumers. That's

Nobody I know wants to root their phone. Me neither. Again, same market pressure, a useful actually used feature will never be removed because people will not buy the device. Most people don't care about replaceable batteries, headphon

The user will refuse to use such a device. Just like Chrome can't block ad-blockers despite massive financial incentives, because there would be massive user uproar. Your average user doesn't try to copy movies, which is why DRM i

The end game for ad blocking is a neural network inspecting the final rendered webpage frame before it's displayed to the user and painting over it to cover the ads.

But then for 5 years they refused to implement any new feature in a time of massive web innovation. Chrome is not repeating that mistake, most new web APIs come from them.

You can make this point about a lot of activities, sports, drinking, smoking, drugs, eating too much. And a helmet doesn't prevent broken bones, spines, so they will still drain hospital resources.

Looking at both of them, they look very heavy (not considering the motor and battery). And the gearing seems limited. Are they actually usable in non-electric mode?

They mention in the docs it was somewhat complicated to use. Very few apps need more than the ability to atomically swap a file. And for the complicated multi write cases, a lot of software just use sqlite which deals with it.

What's the consensus on natural numbers? I've read that they exist in a non-tautological way, which also matches common sense (obviously not enough in math).

What you said was true about 2001. I'm not so sure about 2007 though. For $1000 you could have bought 4 decent condenser microphones and an audio interface for them. And for another $1000 a medium-high computer. Arguably not that expen

Nirvana, pink floyd, metallica were also listened mainly by kids. Same with Beatles, and Elvis before that. It's always the kids who listen to what later will be called "great music".
