Tucker had a big pull but it’s still niche and controversial. He doesn’t represent mainstream anything. The recent releases of some of his behind the scenes actions pretty much put him out of range of mainstream advertisers. That said I a

This needs to be made illegal. If companies want to collect such personal data it should not be by default, and each clause should have to be independently validated by the customer including what data, how it's used, where stored, for

There needs to be massive lawsuits over this stuff to the point where companies should consider it a serious liability to hold customer data for anything other than material purpose.

It seems you have mostly grasped the concept of supply and demand, but are applying it very crudely without context. First - your definition of 'demand' is 'completely wrong' and totally at odds with the entire field of

======== "If you raise the price of something–anything–it lowers demand" I hate to break it to you, but this is completely wrong, I was being polite before, I'm being more direct now. I know what you are trying to say, but yo

No, as you can see by my posts, I'm a strong supporter of min wage, but there is no need for 'job guaranteed by the state' or 'UBI' - in fact, doing so would lead to economic collapse. All of the UBI supporters need

This is basically a 'partial truth' that is ultimately misleading. Min wage. changes the supply, not demand. It may or may not yield less employment depending on elasticity. A business is a balance of power between investors, exec

Yes, it's how the scam is perpetuated. My friends - the level of naivete on this board is beyond pale: the 'gig' economy companies are absolutely founded on the principle of having extra leverage over workers so they can be d

Deep insight! Retailers should only pay sales clerks when they are directly talking to customers! Bus drivers should only be paid when the bus is moving! I'm only going to pay my developers when they are writing lines of code! Al

No - the 'gig economy' provides a way to pay people substantially lower than they would have to otherwise, often lower than minimum wage, provide no benefits or long term viability, shift social spending to government, and to crea

? Minimum wage is the law, not a 'market pressure'. Gig employers are not immune to that. Either they pay minimum or are fined and change their ops.

My god man, use your logic: 'pay workers illegally under wage, then can just work 60 hours a week to make up for it!' at least before we make it an issue. If there was no minimum wage, wages in some sectors wages would drop to wh

That's secondary to the internal cost of demoralize 200K people.

In year of fairly high inflation this is a big deal and I don't suggest it will go down well. To be a bit cynically Machiavellian ... 'any' kind of raise would have allowed them to at least avoid the 'no raise' kind

I don't trust google to 'complete' the entire product experience. Samsung is among the worst, Apple is the best and they are not perfect. A 'foldable screen' implies a lot of changes in usability and behaviour, most

Just the opposite, the company has been around for 10 years and they have are an intellectually oriented professional services provider. This is quite common. The VM they built may or may not be a direct demand from a customer, my bet is it

Yes, with a 'club membership' especially. Rando Sci-Fi Classic Tuesday etc.. Don't underestimate the lethargy and stupidity of mega corps. Content owners vastly overvalue their catalogues, and movie chain theatres are stupid

by jasmer 3y ago
Because it's niche and getting people into the theatre is dependent on the marketing budget behind the films themselves, and in particular, the celebrities. There's too much noise in the world for people to realize that 'Blad

Exactly. These 'ports' are more intellectually exciting than the are pragmatically useful, but they definitely can be useful, it's a matter of having the right product parameters around what they are good for and what not. Th

What app is going to function without IO?
142.
by jasmer 3y ago
No, it's not going to load native libs, and 'jni' almost certainly does not work as normal, nio is widespread in java depends on 'native' buffers (actually native) and is a core part of Java. This is just one of a f

I did, as I said, those are likely 'Virtual WASM Direct Buffers' which are not really 'Direct (Memory) Buffers' - and therefore, not really what they are meant for, though it's impossible to tell. Given how WASM wor

by jasmer 3y ago
Direct ByteBuffers are used to interop with the underlying platform, particularly for the purpose of IO. I could be wrong, but I fail to see how 'WASM memory direct Buffers' will work in that scenario.
145.
by jasmer 3y ago
Direct buffers? I mean, they're going to be 'virtual direct'? Or can I can't fathom how but I would imagine they're not going to be 'actually direct'.

by jasmer 3y ago
Yeah it's not really JVM. The thing with these kinds of ports is that they do some 'neat stuff' but ultimately, they don't come close to the real thing, often, not close enough to be a material substitute. The JVM is a v

Thanks, but none of your points amount to a rebuttal. "The degree to which opposing parties were suppressed under Pinochet far exceeds the measures taken under Allende." That's like saying if Stalin didn't kill people di

I believed that Zuck was a bit of a wannabe frat boy (definitely not an actual one), who was a bit of 'boys will be boys', but in the end, a 'good guy'. It's taken me years but I think he's a 'bad guy&#x27
