I love these types of videos. It continuously amazes me to learn how much ingenuity and creative coding was necessary to create video games in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s. Even more amazing is that they did a lot of it without tools like ver

A truly global phone number regex is quite literally impossible to make. There are too many combinations and expectations built into these conventions. You listed several here. The "best" solution is to separate country code into

Ok, thanks for the clarification. After I wrote that statement about Infrequent Access, I was thinking about it more and realized that you probably pay for storage but simply have no access fees. In other words you don't really disting

For comparison Netflix spends about $1.2 Billion dollars per year on AWS (Amazon Web Services). Their total revenue last year was 27.5B. So that means that AWS fees account for 4.3% of Netflix's revenue. AWS is streaming video, operati

While I would definitely entertain extreme tax tiers at high revenue limits (like $10B/yr), it is important to note that there is value in Apple making money. There are a lot of jobs created between the $10B and $1T levels. And as citi

This is a domain brokering service. It is not listed for sale. They are saying that for $59 plus commission, they will call up Facebook on your behalf and try to convince them to sell Facebook dot com for a "fair" price. It doesn&

No worries. You would never make it that far. You would not ever take ownership of the domain, so Facebook would never need to "retake ownership". This is like going to a garage sale and someone tells you that they can broker a de

I did the same thing. I was a Mac user, then Apple went through that period of time where there were no good laptops. I eventually bought a Lenovo and used it with Linux. Honestly my daily experience was fine most of the time, but you have

This is my mental debate. On one hand it seems like the endurance of the aircraft would suggest it had to be combustion based. But that would make it appear on thermals, so the fact that it is invisible to thermal would suggest it has to be
