   Note that just because you can, it doesn't mean you should. How much maintenance this needs depends on your distro, your machine and firmware's own quirks (if any), and your own usage/update/maintenance patterns/qui

   Taking that logic at face value, it would mean "if you choose not to take a political stance, then you still have made a choice". Okay, so you've chosen not to make a decision. Yet I don't see how having made the choice

   > Taking a stance to not control what communication is allowed is a very political stance. Then in your model of the world, how would one not take a political stance? If everyone takes a political stance in your model by definition

   I don't know who's right but France has some 65M people whereas e.g. Lithuania has 3M people. And France provides 15% of the EU budget whereas (say) Lithuania provides 0.3%. I'm not sure listing all countries on a bar chart a

   There's a lot of evidence for it, just not direct detection on it. It's like if you came into your room and saw writing on the wall, your carpets removed, your computer taken apart, etc. and then claimed there's no evidence a

   > the first 51% of communication is repetition Is this a famous saying? It sounds nice but I hadn't heard it before. (And Google doesn't pop up anything obvious.)

    Regarding (A) I know they might tell you unofficially but they won't put it in writing necessarily. Would you know why?

    You seem to be unfamiliar with the AMT trap? I would recommend Googling it. It impacts people who are not well-off prior to exercising their options by triggering AMT upon exercise .

    Any thoughts on the AMT trap, and the potential inability to exercise (or go bankrupt with AMT) when you leave? It's not exactly written in red warning letters on offer packages, right?

    > Wow, thank you for that, I had no idea PCR is this inaccurate. I'm not sure it really is. Take it with a grain of salt for now. I feel like there's a missing piece of the puzzle here.

    Hm, the numbers I've dug up (though rather hastily; I haven't read much of the documents) don't really match 2.3%... they seem to be 0% in their tests. Here [1] is where I think you can find the info for all the FDA-authorize

    Again, this isn't about whether you go out of your way to insert it, but about whether the data type should be able to handle it regardless.

    I mean, I wasn't trying to suggest you intentionally inject nulls in your strings for no reason! But that doesn't mean your data types should unexpectedly break if this ends up happening...

    It also makes it possible to have nulls inside a string.

    I guess I'm saying it's not bad; you're just declaring it as such. People find them quite intuitive. I don't know about you but I've literally never seen someone get confused over silly things like "why is it

    VirtualBox supports USB 1-3, it has immutable disks built-in, it supports VMDK/VDI/HDD, it lets you drag-and-drop, it supports like a gazillion different controller formats, it allows host I/O caching, and like I already said

    One of your complaints was "It refers to one way of visualising function" right? Which is exactly what left and right sums do too.

    Yeah I do expect some very well-written libraries (including standard libraries) to pick it up and use it well, which will benefit a lot of people as these will be widely used libraries, but my guess is most other C++ programmers will not u

    I'm not interested in debating my specific use cases, but there are so many obvious uses. For one, have you considered some people might e.g. need to test things on Windows VMs?
