There's lots of ways we could have metal in our body. A hip replacement, a forgotten piercing, old tooth fillings, maybe you accidentally swallowed some piece of metal. If MRI scanners are this deadly, everybody should be really thorou

It's Java. Wouldn't it be possible to decompile it and just remove the account checking? Maybe mod it out? There are mods that change the game dramatically, so why not this?

I think companies should be required to repay the original purchase price when they pull shit like that. I did migrate, though with extreme reluctance, and my son's Minecraft account somehow ended up in my wife's Microsoft account

It annoys me even more that they forced everybody to migrate their Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts. I never wanted a Microsoft account. They suck enormously, but even if you buy a non-Microsoft thing, you can apparently still be force

I would hope your national bank regulatir would slap this down hard, but if the government does exactly the same thing, your country might be doomed. Training about this kind of thing is mandatory for bank employees in my country, as far as

I'm probably easy to mistake me for being self-taught, considering I was programming as a kid, and never finished university, but I didn't really learn to program until I went to university. I wanted to, as a kid, but unlike my br

The Steam Deck is absolutely a full blown Linux. But it's not a desktop. It's a handheld. Well, unless you hook a screen and keyboard to it, I suppose. No idea how many people do that. But if you do that, phones and tablets also b

I have no idea, but I do know there's a rise of anti-vax beliefs in the US, and to a (hopefully) slightly lesser extent in Europe.

Really? Even when everything about them is fake, and the most productive thing they're likely to do is spying on you? I also don't hold people's place of birth against them, but there are some very reasonable limits to that.

Maybe first give them freedom. As long as their CVs are fake, their faces and experience are fake, and they're spying for their government, nobody should be hiring them.

That's a misrepresentation. I did not claim that the cuts to medicaid caused the rise in measles; that would have been a silly claim, considering those cuts are being made right now, whereas the rise in measles is already ongoing. I&#x

According to the article, they're all the same plague, but it manifests differently based on which organs it hits. Apparently there's a couple of cases every year, but I've got to say that amidst the return of measles and var

I'm not sure if I should be pleased or embarrassed about my 17/28. Why do I even know this? My son was pretty happy with his 11/28 without any experience with js Date. Just deduced it from previous answers. And I explained ty

While I generally oppose non-competes, > They would keep their pay makes it significantly less bad. I always say that if they want to decide what I can and can't do, they're going to have to pay me. And this is that, so that&#x

Not so long ago, the most valuable company in the world was $200B. It feels like only a few years ago that the $1T barrier was broken. Where will this stop? Are these companies already more valuable than the VOC at its height, when it owned

I'm sure many of them weren't intended as loopholes (although I suspect some were), but the simple fact is that they do turn out to be loopholes. A few famous examples: If you own a large chunk of a large company, of course you do

It's effectively a 1.2% wealth tax that's based on a 30% tax on assumed capital gains of 4%. The thing is, the assumed gains are generally far lower than reality, and the tax is also much lower than regular income tax.

by mcv 1y ago
That's what the issue is: there are loopholes, and far too many of them. The fact that some people get to deduct costs or have access to tax avoidance loopholes that most people don't have access to, is wrong. And governments don&

Because Microsoft was trying to takeover and change Java, and Sun actually made Java. How is that in any way the same situation as this?

How is it that Oracle gets to claim this trademark at all? They never created it, Netscape did. Oracle bought Sun which could have challenged Netscape for naming JavaScript after Java, but I don't think they ever did.

While I wholeheartedly agree with all of this, I feel like this ship may have sailed a very long time ago. Does it really make sense to continue fighting html email?

I don't remember anyone complaining about it taking too long, 40 years ago. People were worried about Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, about what to do with the waste, about leakage. But not about time. But whatever the causes, too lit

Musk absolutely is. He has made that abundantly clear. His support for antisemitism and other forms of racism, his embrace of extremists, his support for AfD and Trump, his Nazi salute. He has very clearly shown us who he is. China is somet

You're missing the point here. It's not okay, it's less known, as long as it's quiet. Musk is going out of his way to generate a lot of bad PR for himself. Do you really expect that to have no effect?

What do you mean by "go after white people"? They go after everybody. American tech companies plaster every corner of the internet with whatever they're trying to sell or own. And if you want to boycott them, I'm all for

The BYD CEO (whoever that is) is a lot less in your face about their support for that. Let's face it, it's easy to ignore this stuff if it happens quietly. Tesla would probably have been fine if Musk had quietly financed Musk. He&

I don't think anyone is surprised about this. We don't like fascism over here. At least not the kind of people who buy electric cars.

Once we've got abundant clean energy, it might not matter so much anymore, but as long as we're still burning carbon, it matters a lot. And until we get there, we should probably do both.

Nuclear power plants are expensive and take time to build, though. At the moment we're still burning way too much oil and coal for our energy, and everything that drives up demand, contributes to that.
