This would be a good argument if: * there was any choice in the market * my satisfaction was actually guaranteed * The cost of switching was low (it will take at least a day of coordination to end one service, and start the second)

Oh man. I'm definitely on both sides of the fence. After Fitbit bought Pebble, they made the ecosystem poorer. The Pebble tech team was stronger than the team that absorbed them. Fitbit customer service is excellent, but their warranty

I assume you're referring to Intel's robust history of "Intellectual Property" lawsuits? Agreed. ISPC is under a BSD license, but I wonder if there's a lawsuit to be made from the use of the techniques.

I think that's a trong contender for biggest contributer. Natural food was was less calorie dense back then. I wonder if we reached a point where we could consume the most calories per pound of our own body weight, and never looked bac

Did you mean a PhD, like a doctorate? And by BPD, do you mean Bipolor, or Borderline personality Disorder?

Yes, as much as we can admire people standing up for what they believe in, the NBA and Blizzard had put themselves in a position of having to give up something to criticize China. South Park really has nothing to lose.

I think you left something out. That treaty will be used to kidnap and torture dissidents.

Well, you're pretty close here. Yes, the iPhone has the best secure enclave. However, there is nothing stopping Apple from making separate builds with extra "features" for the Chinese market, and installing them. Same keys, O

That's because they are just starting out, and are still designing a lot of things from scratch. Musk had to import two gigantic aluminium presses to stamp the car bodies, and Tesla was suffering a lot of ill fitting body panels initia

Absolutely. But we can't look at workers in a dying industry like coal mining and say "Hey, your industry is dead. Time to re-train. Hop to it!" The society that benefited from having these workers should give them time, mone

> Also why not unplug it when done? Americans don't have time for this. They barely have time in the morning to grab their hot toast, hop on their Segway, or motorcycle, or rocket-ship, or what have you, and go go go go GO! Love me

This is a good point - some of what we are calling cheap crap just wasn't being made before. Besides there being more stuff of every type of buy, the purchasing power of the dollar has declined, so maybe people can't afford a toas

Let's say you are parsing a language that contains both negative numbers, and the "minus" symbol. Most languages use the same ASCII glyph for both of those, but they mean very different things, and are parsed as parts of diff

You are agreeing with fnordsensei. :)

No idea, but one difference I noticed with your examples are that the names are adjectives modifying a generic math term, but "abelian" is the whole label. (e.g. "abelian" vs. "Abelian group")

Are you saying that it's OK because it's common, or that the DOJ should be doing even more than it is? Or something else?

I think this style is great when action is required. The "purpose at the top" principle could be useful even for scientists or artists, though. For example: Purpose of email: evaluate yesterday's experiment. Unfortunately, ye

Yes! This applies just as much to email correspondence. I think of it as resolving all references. (Can I make up a new TLA? RAR!)
