As bad as this is...as this thread points out, more of the money needs to go to artists, and supporting fewer employees should let them do this.

I would love to see historical rates in urban vs rural/suburban areas for this, alongside migration/growth rates - does something like that exist? My son (in college) probably won’t be able to afford much of a house in the Bay Are

These were (intended for) Unix machines, not general purpose PCs… the assumption was that everyone was compiling anything that went on the system anyways, or were buying licenses for a specific hardware box. So at least it wasn’t considered

Legislators pass laws, judges (normally) can only strike them down. It is pretty much like other places otherwise, but that process of the government limiting itself is a key feature imho.

I think this might be useful if we kind of wargame prospective regulations to follow all the ways people might abuse it, then you might get something that works. Maybe lawmakers already do that? This thread feels in that spirit too…

And what happens if the server holding the keys gets compromised? I guess most manufacturers won’t care, but the more reputable ones would have things in their source they consider proprietary and would definitely not want to have to submit

It could mean more than that, or maybe not. Velikovsky had the interesting hypothesis that you could compare this histories of different traditions to see if they synchronize. For example, joshua stopping the sun for three days, which would

This is a feedback loop though. It is a reflection of the moderation wars in some ways: Google’s main job now is to try to keep you away from malicious sites as much as find good ones. So they prioritize ‘known good’ sites (big platforms, m

There is Fleet, which they purport to be their next gen IDE. Which I haven’t even tried, though I am am avid pycharm user, so maybe it’s not getting the results they hope for?

This is not really about marriage vs friendship, but two kinds of friendship imho… this could just as easily have gone the other way (new friend attacking her romantic partner). But (also imho) no one really knows what marriage is anymore a

How do these usually get checked? I mean, maybe he’s already done this successfully a few times.

It is very similar to caching performance impacts. And like you say, sometimes performance is just faster, and sometimes it actually enables functionality…

Two fundamental truths: - nature is inherently competitive. - civilization and culture temper this but requires vigilance to maintain. The second implies that some cultures may be more effective at tempering nature’s excesses than others… a

Your friend often asks for you to spot them $5 when you are out at lunch, it’s no big deal and they’ve always paid it back. Now they want to borrow $5k all of a sudden. Do you give it to them, just based on the above history?

It’s more than that - banks used to have prepayment penalties. People with high credit scores are (probably?) also more likely to move, which means the bank may only get a couple years of interest until you pay it back (when you sell to buy

This is because money is trying to be two things at once - a medium of exchange, and a stable asset - and those are often in conflict. If I just want to trade my bushel of corn for your chicken, money makes it easier - I exchange my corn fo

Not sure, but people certainly talk that way in Victorian novels (does anyone actually know Mr. Darcy’s first name? :)

On the other hand... it seems that Elon's long-term plan is to try to create a social media platform where the users are the customers instead of the product... that seems like it would have to rely less on advertising revenue to do t

IIRC it was very common for early Christians, who were mostly Jews initially, to go to temple on the Sabbath (Saturday) and then have their own meetings on Sunday, as they didn’t consider them separate.

How would this be a problem? Not following…. They don’t offer the student loans themselves afaik, the loans come from somewhere else, so they normally get the money but not the risk. And I would think that if there _is_ loan forgiveness… th

I think this is a great idea, but for different reasons than you’d think. If you read around, there is an epidemic of college freshman whose parents have the ambition, and will do whatever to force their kid into the college and even the ma

I wouldn’t say that’s lying, just an somewhat inaccurate simplification… language is always spoken in a shared context that, like Huffman encoding, assigns short terms to common situations (wife, girlfriend, flatmate) and things outside tho

this is closer to what Redmatica (now Logic) AutoSampler used to do.... you would just play notes (separately by space), it would split by space, detect the root note for each sample, and then make a multisample out of it. but actually tryi

I personally like regex as well, but it can be hard to read… there are other similar things like python parse ( https://pypi.org/project/parse/,”parse is format in reverse”) which are a little easier for easy cases

Yeah, one interesting thing in the article was an offhand comment about how too much openness actually was counterproductive because people put on headphones, so didn't actually interact. Here probably, there is a 'right' amo
