One item over the course of 12 years is uh lip service at best. The lesser of two evils is still an evil. -- Somebody will certainly bring up the filibuster at some point. Thats not in the constitution and can be removed at any point by 51

There were a few stories in the past about people social engineering their way past support by asking one companies support for the last 4 of a card and then using that last 4 for a different company.

> So who is that subsidizing now? Uh sure, with this change software would subsidize other R&D. Prior to the change anybody not eligible for Section 174 was subsidizing Section 174 recipients. Subsidizing R&D is probably a good i

The article makes it clear it's a subsidy. > Originally enacted in 1954, Sec. 174 has historically allowed taxpayers to deduct SRE expenditures in the year incurred. Its original aim was to level the playing field for small business

imo, it's in the best interest of the market for people to have to realize their gains otherwise the price of an item is pretty imaginary if it's never realized.

It is a subsidy! Why should money spent on software _development_ not have to be deprecated over time like other money spent on _development_? I get that it sucks from a cash flow standpoint but the same is going to be true of other R&D

Gold is up ~40% over the past year. Are you really going to claim inflation is up 40% over that time period? I think Gold is too susceptible to price fluctuations from speculators and that you should use Copper or something that people don&

The entire point of section 230 is to allow platforms to remove non-illegal content [1]. Basically there were two lawsuits about platforms showing content. One of the platfroms tried to curate content to create a family-friendly environment

Giving them a link to a msi that does that is pretty user intuitive.

If you walk into a Krogers and buy a pint of Bryer's ice cream I can definitely understand Kroger getting a cut.

Who's training an AI on the "Tweet" button text? Or are they trying to forgo section 230 protection and claim ownership of content uploaded to the site?

The general problem is that new plastic is cheaper to produce than recycled plastic is to re-use. So, something like preciousplastic doesn't occur wide spread because it's more expensive and therefore worse under a capitalistic mo

That's not accurate. Legislation was _proposed_ to alter the rules cyclists have to follow but it's not passed. Notice how it says "Status: Filed (End of Session)" at the top? Other legislation will say something like &q

I'm making no assumptions. The article clearly states there was an officer present that stopped the bicycles. But to your actual question. There's a trivial response of where is the camera going to send a court summons to? The art

Generics were added later than checked exceptions. You're just providing more examples of my argument that new language features are not made with checked exceptions in mind.

Well, necessary in the sense that just writing traffic traffics has clearly not gotten cyclists to stop hitting pedestrians.

> But there is no licensing for bikes or e-bikes, so the leverage they have isn’t there. You can arrest people for failing to pay traffic fines.

by lesuorac 1y ago
I really don't follow this reasoning through. Sure, e-bikes don't require a license but they are still operated by a person. The cases that are all listed are people over 18 who absolutely have forms of ID that they can present to

Aren't the supermarket labels controlled by subscription software? I'd bet Amazon would be pretty willing to give away kindles that only work with a prime subscription.

I'll agree its more profitable if you never lose customers and gain them over time but selling a product that doesn't do it's job will eventually cause customers to leave and never come back. Why won't the end game be pe

The problem with checked exceptions in Java is that pretty much every language feature added since then has assumed unchecked exceptions (use an IO operation in a stream). So they start to stick out in a lot of places :/

I just always make my own error type and as part of their creation throw a backtrace into the struct. Then using `?` gives me a stack trace for free.
