There is a media bias here, but it's not what you're implying. It is Israeli media picking up a story promoted by Israeli scientists. This is common practice for media in EMEA countries. But most importantly, you're overlooki

Roman emperors brought people together by throwing other people to the lions. So I'd guess throwing RMS to the mob would also count as good leadership?

I really hope Ivory Coast will join Ghana on this, as they did for the LID bonus case. Together they account for over 2/3 of cocoa production. So, they can pretty much reshape the cocoa/chocolate market and break out of colonialis

This case reminds me the French Press Association vs. Google News case [1]. The details differ, but the outcome is the same: It's not in your interest as content producer to be excluded. If it wasn't already free for you, you woul

Yes, but they do it to the exact opposite effect. Squatting property actually puts it to its intended use (living, agriculture etc.) Domain squatting is meant to prevent the domain from its intended use (access to a meaningful service). For

Yeah, it's a bug. But don't go crazy over it. Back in 2016, a Spotify bug resulted in writes of approximately 700GB/day [1]. No SSD died, judging from the lack of a class action lawsuit. And at least for my MBP SSD, I can tel

Would you happen to know how to disable upgrading unrelated packages? I often do `brew upgrade X`. Brew indeed does what is necessary to upgrade package X + deps. But then goes on and starts upgrading unrelated packages.

Whether it's doable depends on the time you can wait, and ultimately your objective. Is it enough to stop using WhatsApp within one year? Or should we be striving to migrate and delete our accounts before the policy change takes effect
