Neither party is interested in governing - have you seen the border right now? The out of control spending? Instead we have a crusade against the number of Doritos in a bag https://news.yahoo.com/elizabeth-warrens-shrinkflat

Not really. ByteDance is based in Singapore. They can sell it to whoever they like, but most of their operations are based in China and even if they could be sold, who in their right mind would buy that? Because it doesn’t solve the real is

It’s not really though - if it was known in advance that you did not like a track then there would be no reason to recommend it. It’s the classic precision vs recall trade off: I can create a recommendation algorithm that only recommends yo

The short answer is that they are paid to hype it. They launched at CES (paid) with a splashy video (paid). They got lots of media coverage (paid and paid in kind by bringing in ad revenue). They were talked-up on X by all the VCs (paid in

But it’s not the start? My phone has had this for six years.

Care to explain how?

Ironically, most of what you’ve said here is false because it’s government in the driving seat, not business. The infamous avocado toast incident was regarding a mortgage down payment, not rent. That’s due to the post-2008 asset bubble crea

I’m far more concerned about the old dangers than the new ones.

> they avoid investing in anyone who has had so much of a faint whiff of how the sausage gets made. Not actually the case. The average Silicon Valley founder is in their 40s. It’s just the young ones that get all the press (because they

Right but you can tell all those people “this idea is literally impossible, the machine cannot do it” and at least some of them will listen to you. Whereas in, say, government, people can just believe any stupid idea they want for an indefi

You’re wrong about the mentally taxing bit because you’re comparing Apples and Oranges. Most doctors are not spending solid 4hr blocks in flow focusing on a highly complex problem (surgeons being the obvious exception) but instead dealing w

But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.

Unlikely as that would have been during the Ice Age and we have evidence of humans in Southern, but not Northern Siberia at that time.

This piece of “journalism” isn’t fair either though. Should we shut down CNN too?

Very nice!

You might want to take a look at how poorly the German economy is performing right now and the downwards trajectory it’s on.

Sure but the anti-growth thing is a classic naive zero-sum fallacy. OP certainly thinks fondly of things built to last, and that’s admirable - but you should question the extent to which they actually value them. Let’s say OP is 30 and wi

In theory they could use the capital to inflict a loss on all the other places an investor could park their money. Zero growth but still an incentive to invest!

Yes and no. While the author can specify an attribution notice, the GPL limits it to being relayed amongst “appropriate legal notices” - these typically appear in an EULA or About screen. Otherwise an “inappropriate” attribution requirement

GPL does not permit additional conditions, it actually states that additional conditions may be removed by the licensee. In this case, I don’t see the actual license containing additional conditions, simply that the FAQ guidance on the page

It does indeed, but the cost is an object allocation for every function call.

Great question. One thing to remember is that the value of a piece of software that’s heading towards being un-maintained is much lower than one that has a clear maintenance path. One should be wary of single-maintainer projects. That said,

It’s not always economical though. When you have the top jet engine manufacturers in the world turning down your business the time has come to ask some tough questions. This is old technology, we know how to do this - what we’ve not figured
